Apparently, this movie delves into an untold story of the iconic Disney Villain from the classic "&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: lime;"&gt;Sleeping Beauty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;" and the elements of her betrayal that changes her heart of love to a heart of stone. See more picture...

Mr controversial himself, Nollywood actor &lt;strong&gt;Jim Iyke&lt;/strong&gt; 
seems to be bouncing back from all his recent troubles. Gist confirms 
that the actor has won the case brought against him by one &lt;strong&gt;Habiba Abubakar&lt;/strong&gt; over a &lt;em&gt;15 million Naira&lt;/em&gt; deal, in which Jim Iyke was alleged to have defrauded her.&lt;br /&gt;

We hear the case was thrown out of court for want of evidence, as the
 case had been ongoing for a while now, but has finally been laid to 
rest, with Jim Iyke emerging the winner.&lt;br /&gt;

During the trial period, the popular Nollywood actor had been 
involved in a media battle with series of allegations springing up in 
several places, some alleging him being involved in car scam, public 
fighting and so on. All that seems to be in the past as Jim Iyke has 
since moved back into the good books of the media, apart from winning 
the recent suit,&amp;nbsp;Jim Iyke was recently listed by the &lt;strong&gt;United Nations&lt;/strong&gt; to help pick six children to receive quality education in the US. He also snapped up a multi million naira deal in &lt;strong&gt;Gambia&lt;/strong&gt; a few weeks back and we hear he is presently studying somewhere in&lt;strong&gt; Brazil&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

The good times are here again, welcome back Jim!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="embaArticle"&gt;Rihanna was evacuated from her London hotel in the early hours of Wednesday morning over fears a fire had broken out. The star is staying at the posh Corinthia Hotel while in the U.K. 
capital but was turfed out of bed after an elevator motor began to 
smoke, setting off the building’s emergency alarm. The singer and 300 fellow guests were moved onto the street while 
firefighters carried out a check of the building to ensure it was safe 
for them to return.&lt;br /&gt;
Rihanna jumped in a cab rather than wait, uploading a snap of herself on
 Twitter.com looking tired in the back of the London taxi, along with 
the caption, “Roamin da streets since 6am. Fyah in da telly (sic)!”&lt;br /&gt;
She then added a picture of a fire engine parked outside her the hotel. A representative for the hotel says, “It was an unfortunate incident but
 we were pleased with all the co-operation of hotel guests and how staff
 dealt with it.”&lt;/span&gt;</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj09P5b1TmqHeW80up69Hu-O_4zcFNRMNMHvRDvAh9sBLuAlYNYpH552iBGYIB6MyEAEXJ5KtWS3aHsZEImUv9IgC3Q9skOmkZ-EQX3EHksbLdknvDM4FPTE29j88Hlum0EtNiiZxBEyB4/s72-c/rihanna-hairdo.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Beyonce Tribute to Michael Jackson: Remembering the King of Pop</title><link>http://vivianndukwu.blogspot.com/2012/06/beyonce-tribute-to-michael-jackson.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ndukwu vivian)</author><pubDate>Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:51:00 +0100</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071075223904844163.post-2198545464052502940</guid><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

Michael Jackson died June 25, 2009, or three years ago this week. In a touching tribute to MJ, Beyonce remembers the artist who changed her life forever. The "Crazy in Love" singer and new mom wrote a touching message on her website about Jackson on Monday, Michael Jackson's death anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;

Beyonce, 30, said her first producer had her listen MJ's "Who's 
Loving You" on repeat. "What he wanted me to learn was his soul," the 
star recalls. "You could hear his soul. It's something that's God given."&lt;br /&gt;
For whatever reason he could evoke more emotion than an adult," she 
went on. "It was these little things he did that were pure swag."
&lt;br /&gt;
And the mother of Blue Ivy Carter and wife of rapper Jay-Z credits 
the King of Pop for teaching her that "sometimes you have to forget 
technique." "Michael Jackson changed me forever, and helped me to become the 
artist I am," Beyonce writes, adding simply "Thank you Michael." Jackson died on June 25, 2009 from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol, given to him by Dr. Conrad Murray. He was only 50 years old.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;On the 23rd of June 2012, all the big guns in government and top politicians gathered at the &lt;em&gt;International Conference Centre Abuja&lt;/em&gt; for the wedding of the &lt;strong&gt;Pamela Mark&lt;/strong&gt; daughter of the Senate President, &lt;strong&gt;Senator David Mark&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

As expected it was a lavish wedding, with all those who mattered in 
Nigerian politics in attendance, save for President Goodluck Jonathan. 
Pamela Mark married&lt;strong&gt; Mike Ayeni&lt;/strong&gt; and is now officially &lt;strong&gt;Mrs. Mike Ayeni&lt;/strong&gt;.</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj2vJJWmSNVAiIObyhfBmvfOPGrYKAeWBL-qjBV40V5tpfgEzkvllkri_5o_c1pUe3lPdteHu9Y8qOj73nCF3Q5M103M1bL79vqBqyx8mB9IWLOxg4Mb7Xq93RKiJHiJGkC9wpGx7fDjw/s72-c/mark.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Popular Comedian, Okey Bakassi Returns From Imo State Politics</title><link>http://vivianndukwu.blogspot.com/2012/06/popular-comedian-okey-bakassi-returns.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ndukwu vivian)</author><pubDate>Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:30:00 +0100</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071075223904844163.post-4832753764749063527</guid><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

the popular comedian &lt;em&gt;Okechukwu Anthony Oyegbule&lt;/em&gt; aka &lt;strong&gt;Okey Bakassi&lt;/strong&gt;
 has been away from the entertainment scene for quite a while now, well 
that is because he dabbled into politics or answered the call to serve 
his people.Due to his&amp;nbsp;commitment&amp;nbsp;to the new&amp;nbsp;challenge,&amp;nbsp;he dropped everything 
entertainment and became a full&amp;nbsp;fledged&amp;nbsp;politician, however Ikedi Ohakim
 failed in his re-election bid and so came an end to S.A Okey 
Bakassi&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;sojourn&amp;nbsp;in politics.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;In a recent interview, he said:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Right 
now I’m fully in showbiz that’s what I do. I have finished my assignment
 in Imo State and I am back to my primary constituency, which is 
showbiz. If a public service calls on me again in form of politics, I 
will answer. Though I have had series of allegations of me shunning 
movie scripts, that will not be totally correct, last year I shot a 
movie. This year I have not shot one.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The reason is that 
you get a point in your career you don’t have to be in hundred movies to
 make a point. At this stage in my career, I want to do movies that my 
children will be proud to watch in the next ten years. I don’t want to 
jump to scripts that just come my way.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Davido may not have bargained for what he got in Abuja the last time he went for a show sponsored by Nokia.The fast rising star who would be collaborating with Senegalese 
Konvict Music boss and singer, Akon, on the remix of his rave making 
single, Dami Duro, we reliably gathered was recently harassed and hit by
 a uniformed man at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.The musician was invited for the recently 
concluded Nokia Rap Battle show alongside other prominent acts by one 
Nosa, a fast rising music producer cum manager.Davido who was said to be drunk to stupor insisted on leaving in a 
friend’s car instead of going in the one that brought him, and other top
 artistes and crew from the hotel.
He insisted though and Nosa being his host had to drive behind them, 
bubble later burst when the car conveying Davido was stopped by some 
military men for the routine check especially at that time of the night.&lt;br /&gt;

It was revealed that the obviously tipsy Davido jumped out of the car
 and started boasting “don’t you know me, what the fuck is wrong with 
you guys”. He started shouting about who he is and what guts the Mopol 
men had to stop his friend`s car. This act infuriated one of the Mopol and while the musician was still
 ranting and boasting, he was landed a dirty slap and was threatened 
with gun to shut up if he does not want to be bathed in his blood. He was allegedly rushed back into the car by Nosa and his friend who 
had at that point gotten down from their bus and pleaded with the 
uniformed men that he’s actually a popular musician especially in Lagos 
and was coming from a show. The story however didn’t end there as the angry Davido did not 
hesitate to transfer aggression to Nosa immediately they got back to the
 hotel. The musician we learnt went as far as telling the man who got 
him the Nokia performance deal to shut up and not talk when he’s talking
 else he would slap him the way the Mopol treated him. Nosa, just walked away because he saw Davido as a proud boy.&lt;br /&gt;

The feud between Chris Brown and Drake may have taken a new turn as 
both parties have been offered $1 million each to fight in a 
celebrity boxing match.The pair had been involved in a alleged nightclub brawl earlier this 
month, after it was alleged that upon discovering they were in the same 
club, Brown sent a bottle over to Drake’s table. The Toronto rapper then
 approached Brown and started arguing over Rihanna, Brown’s 
ex-girlfriend who Drake also had a short relationship with.Though no arrests have been made over the brawl, the feud is still 
thought to be ongoing and celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman has 
revealed that billionaire digital media entrepreneur Alki David wants to
 capitalise by staging a fight between the pair, for which he’ll pay 
them $1 million each and give a further $1 million to charity.Feldman said of his hopes for the fight: “Obviously they have a 
grudge. It’s just three one-minute rounds. No one will get seriously 
hurt.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mark Geragos, Chris Brown’s attorney, has previously claimed that he 
has evidence that Drake threw a bottle during the incident, while Brown 
posted a picture of his gashed chin on Twitter after the fracas along 
with a tirade of messages directed at Drake’s crew – although they have 
since been removed.&lt;br /&gt;

Drake, however, has denied his involvement in the fight, and said he 
was heading for the exits when the brawl broke out. A spokesman for the 
rapper said: “Drake did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind 
last night at W.I.P. He was on his way out when the altercation began.”&lt;br /&gt;

Lets see who stands at the end of the bout&lt;br /&gt;

environment within the state and increase the&amp;nbsp;quality of life of all 
citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

According to the managing director, every house and office in the 
state will be numbered as much as they are statutorily recognised by the
 state, adding: “Every dwelling in the state will be numbered. So long 
it is within the official statute of Lagos, it will be numbered.” He 
stated further that the project of numbering Lagos houses and offices is
 very essential as to ensure that businesses and homes are easily 
assessed.</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Nigeria loses 5bn dollars to oil theft annually – Shell</title><link>http://vivianndukwu.blogspot.com/2012/06/nigeria-loses-5bn-dollars-to-oil-theft.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ndukwu vivian)</author><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:50:00 +0100</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071075223904844163.post-5362285322736841300</guid><description>Abuja -&amp;nbsp; Mr Mutiu Sumonu, the Managing Director of Shell Petroleum 
Development Company Nigeria Plc., said on Tuesday, in Abuja, that 
Nigeria was losing 5 billion dollars annually to oil theft. Sumonu spoke at the public hearing on the upsurge of illegal oil bunkering activities in Nigeria’s coastal region. The hearing was organised by the House of Representatives Joint Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream) and Navy.&lt;br /&gt;

According to him, Nigeria loses approximately 150,000 barrels of oil 
to illegal oil bunkering daily, while the company lost100 barrels daily 
between 2003 and 2004. He explained that the activities of oil thieves had shifted from pilfering to a higher dimension. The shell boss said that stakeholders in the oil sector must display the political will to fight illegal oil bunkering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

“Every tier of government must be involved in the fight against illegal oil bunkering,”he said. Sumonu described illegal oil bunkering as a highly syndicated operation that involved oil company workers.&lt;br /&gt;

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, 
gave an assurance that the National Assembly (NASS) would continue to 
support the committee in checking illegal oil bunkering.&lt;br /&gt;

Tambuwalsaid that the NASS was ready to respond to the enormous challenge of checking illegal bunkering.&lt;br /&gt;

“The House of Representatives will respond to this kind of challenge for the well-being of the country,” he said. The speaker noted that the activities of oil thieves constituted threats to the nation’s security and environment. Mr Ade Abolurin, Commandant-General of the Nigeria Security and Civil
 Defence Corps (NSCDC), said that the corps was ill equipped to 
effectively check illegal oil bunkering. He said that the corps had arrested and prosecuted 300 Nigerians and 15 Ghanaians for illegal oil bunkering. Abolurin stressed that the corps would not compromise its position in checking the activities of oil thieves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The NSCDC boss urged effective implementation of extant laws checking illegal oil bunkering. He called on the committee to help the corps to acquire state of the 
art equipment to enable it to effectively check oil theft in the 
country. Rep. Muraina Ajibola (PDP-Oyo), the Chairman of&amp;nbsp; the House Committee 
on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), urged the strengthening of relevant 
institutions by allocating more funds to them to purchase equipment. Ajibola said that the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety 
Agency (NIMASA) needed to step up its operations to check maritime 
theft. However, he was dismayed by the absence of some key officers of some 
agencies at the hearing, warning that the committee would not hesitate 
to invoke the relevant laws against such officers. Other stakeholders at the hearing included the NPA, EFCC,NIMASA and NNPC. The ministers of Petroleum Resources and Environment were absent at the hearing.

A serious car wreck left 50 Cent hospitalized with possible injuries to his neck and back, according to a website affiliated with the rapper, This is 50. The crash involved his SUV and a mack truck, apparently.&lt;br /&gt;

It happened early this morning on the Long Island Expressway just 
outside N.Y. City. The truck rear-ended 50's SUV, which "almost flipped 
over."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;
The star was taken a nearby hospital, where, according to the site, 
doctors ran tests on his neck and back. Fortunately, he checked out 
fine. A rep for Curtis Jackson (50's real name) confirms:&lt;br /&gt;

"He was taken to New York Hospital Queens where he was treated for 
minor neck and back injuries. He was released this morning and is doing 
fine." Good to hear. Hopefully he recovers quickly and fully from the scary incident. In other 50 news, the rapper recently quashed his beef with Oprah.&lt;br /&gt;

 sacked no fewer than 800 workers despite the Federal Government’s 
directive to the management of the bank and organised labour to maintain
 status quo pending resolution of labor issues between the management 
and labour.
&lt;br /&gt;
It was gathered that the sack came few days after the Federal 
Government through the Ministry of Labour and Productivity at a meeting 
in Abuja with the organised labour and management of the bank on the 
outstanding gratuity of staff of the defunct Afribank Nigeria Plc. Meanwhile, organised labour, yesterday, asked the management of the 
bank to immediately reverse the termination or labour and its allies 
would shut down its operations nationwide, describing the management’s 
action as illegal and unprocedural.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Vanguard&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;gathered that of the 800 affected 
staff, over 650&amp;nbsp; were members of the Association of Senior Staff of 
Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions, ASSBIFI, affiliated to the 
Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, while the rest were members of the
 National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Employees, NUBIFIE, 
affiliated to Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.&lt;em&gt;Vanguard &lt;/em&gt;gathered that the management just locked the 
affected workers out of the bank’s network, denied them access to their 
offices and asked them to wait for their termination letters through 
their email boxes.</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item><item><title>Job vacancies</title><link>http://vivianndukwu.blogspot.com/2012/06/job-vacancies.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Ndukwu vivian)</author><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2012 03:10:00 +0100</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071075223904844163.post-5678193721471178606</guid><description>&lt;strong&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; JOB &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5"&gt;POSITION&lt;/span&gt;: Strategy and &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8"&gt;Business Development&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
