Why most of my colleagues are dying – Nollywood actor, Muyiwa Ademola

Nollywood star, Muyiwa Ademola has blamed stress and disregard for health, as the real reason actors are dying in the country.

Ademola was speaking in an interview with Punch, in reaction to the death of four actors, and most recently, Moji Olaiya.

It’s time to let Biafra people go

The current antics of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the illusory Biafra Republic, brings to mind an often quoted remark by Karl Marx, who pointed out in reference to the 9th November 1799 coup d’etat by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte in France:
