Ibinabo weeps as Court confirms five years’ jail term for manslaughter

The Court of Appeal Lagos Division, Friday dismissed an appeal filed by ex beauty queen, Ibinabo Fiberesima challenging a Lagos High Court judgement which sentenced her to serve five years in prison for the death of one Dr. Giwa Suraj.

The embattled president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN) was sentenced by Justice Deborah Oluwayemi for reckless driving which caused the death of Suraj in an auto accident along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos.

He was a staff of a Lagos State hospital.

Dissatisfied, Fiberesima in her amended appellant brief filed by her lawyer, Nnaemeka Amaechina, urged the court to set aside the sentence and restore the decision of the Magistrate Court which sentenced her to a N100, 000 fine.

But, delivering judgment Friday, the appellate court dismissed the appeal and affirmed the High Court’s judgment.

In a unanimous decision delivered by Justice Jamilu Yammama Tukur the court held that the trial Magistrate Court lacked the discretion to grant Ibinabo an option of fine after her conviction.

It held further that the appeal lacked merit and thereby dismissed it accordingly.

Other members of the panel are Justice U.I. Ndukwe-Anyanwu (Mrs.) (presiding) and Justice Tijani Abubakar respectively.

Ibinabo, who was visibly apprehensive throughout the proceeding, burst into tears immediately the judgment was delivered.

The court had, at its last sitting, ordered her to appear before it on judgement day.

Speaking on the judgement, her lawyer, Nnaemeka Amaechina, said it would be challenged at the Supreme Court adding that a Notice of Appeal had been filed already.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command had in 2005 charged Fiberesima to an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court on a two-count charge of dangerous and reckless driving along the Lekki- Epe Expressway, Lagos which resulted in the death of Suraj.

She was awarded a N100, 000 fine by the Court, but this decision was tested at the High Court by the Lagos State Government.

At the High Court, Justice Oluwayemi set aside the option of N100, 000 fine imposed and sentenced Fiberesima to five years imprisonment for dangerous and reckless driving.

She held that the trial Magistrate exercised judicial recklessness when he gave the convict an option of N100, 000 fine and this did not serve the purpose of justice.

She subsequently ordered that the N100, 000 should be returned to Fiberesima.

The court added that Section 28 of the Road Traffic Law clearly provides that where a reckless and dangerous driving has caused the death of a person, the accused person shall be guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment of seven years.

Dissatisfied, Fiberesima in her amended appellant brief filed by her lawyer, Nnaemeka Amaechina before the Court of Appeal urged the court to set aside the five year sentence and restore the decision of the Magistrate Court.

Amaechina had argued that the Magistrate’s Court exercised its discretion properly and there was no ground to review it by the high court.

He submitted that by virtue of the Notice of Increased in Jurisdiction of Magistrates, No. 7 of 2006, the trial Magistrate could only impose a maximum of 7 years imprisonment or N100, 000.00 fine.

He added that N100, 000.00 fine is the maximum limit the trial Magistrate can impose as fine and that was what it imposed on the appellant.

In her response, counsel to Lagos State, Rotimi Odutola (Mrs.) argued that the law creating the offence of dangerous driving causing death has provided for a term of imprisonment as punishment for anyone convicted under section 28 hence the trial Magistrate ought not to exercise such arbitrary discretion to impose N100.000.00 as fine.

Odutola further submitted that the children of the deceased have been permanently deprived of the ‘’measureless contributions’’ of their father to their lives as a result of his death caused by the appellant.

Nollywood ­- an insider look at Nigeria¹s film industry on Al Jazeera

• World’s second biggest film industry is looking to crossover globally

• Increased focus on production value, films made for cinema, and taking Nollywood to the rest of the world

• Afolayan, Kelani, Emelonye, Nnaji, Nouah and more weigh in on Nollywood’s history, appeal and future

Nollywood, a new documentary premiering on Al Jazeera English on Tuesday, 28 July 2015 at 21:00 WAT, is an insider look at Nigeria’s prolific film industry, which makes more films than Hollywood – 50 a week. Only India’s Bollywood makes more.

Among others, Nollywood interviews leading directors James Omokwe, Kunle Afolayan, Mildred Okwo, Obi Emelonye, Stanlee Ohikhuare, Tunde Kelani, and Udoka Oyeka, as well as acclaimed actors Bimbo Manuel, Genevieve Nnaji, Joke Silva, Kiki Omeili, Mercy Johnson, Olu Jacobs and Ramsey Nouah.

Traditionally Nollywood films were made for as little as $10 000, then released on DVD and sold cheaply on the streets, reaching audiences of millions. Since Living in Bondage kick-started the sector in 1992, Nollywood has developed into a $5.1 billion dollar industry, with roughly two billion viewers around the world.

“In Nigeria, and in the rest of Africa, people watch Nollywood before watching an American blockbuster,” says Victor Okhai, director of the International Film and Broadcast Academy Lagos. “In France, they would watch Hollywood before they would watch French films. In Germany, they watch Hollywood before they watch German films. And so on. What we’ve demonstrated here is that with powerful storytelling we’ve been able to conquer what none of the others have been able to do.”

Nollywood traces the disputed roots of the industry, from Nigeria’s colonial film industry to its pioneering TV industry, to its traveling theatre industry, which became a traveling cinema industry thanks to the likes of Doctor Hubert Ogunde and Eddie Afolayan (Eddie Love).

“There are around 150-160 million people together in a geographical space, with more than 400 languages,” says director Tunde Kelani (Dazzling Mirage) about Nigeria. “Having benefitted from 50 years of successful television, being the first in Africa, prompted by a collapse of the economy and a loss of infrastructure, and then with an alternative technology – something has to come out of that.”

“It’s an industry that has built itself by itself,” says actress Genevieve Nnaji, a previous Best Actress winner at The Africa Movie Academy Awards. “It’s an industry made by the people for the people, the African people.”

Director Kunle Afolayan ushered in a new wave of Nigerian cinema in 2009 with The Figurine, a Nollywood film that was acclaimed for raising the industry’s production values and ambition. “The game has changed again because people are beginning to consider production value as important,” says Kunle, who has also directed hits like Phone Swap and October 1.

This rise in production values has coincided with an increased interest in films for cinema, rather than straight-to-DVD releases. “The cinema is the new culture in Nigeria,” say director James Omokwe (Awakening). ”I think the last count was 12 or 13 in Nigeria, and they’re quality multiplexes where Nollywood is shown alongside Hollywood films.”

With online distribution bringing international audiences closer than ever, Nollywood filmmakers are hungry to crossover globally. “I consider myself one of the new generation of Nigerian filmmakers who are taking the magic of Nollywood to the rest of the world,” says Obi Emelonye (Last Flight to Abuja, The Mirror Boy). “We’re trying to up our game in terms of the quality. It is a very exciting time to be an African filmmaker and Nollywood is leading the way in African entertainment.”

How My Nollywood Lover Deceived Me, Sold Our Child for N300,000

When Kelechi Ugo met Kanayo several years back at Comprehensive Secondary School, Amakohia in Imo State, she saw a young man with a promising future. She did not, in her wildest imagination, envisage that situations would make him harm her in any way. Unfortunately, the reverse turned out to be the case as her heartthrob ended up not only abandoning her but sold their two-year-old son for a paltry N300,000.

My ordeal

Nollywood actor, Kanayo Awurum

Narrating her ordeal, the 28-year-old catering apprentice told Crime Guard: “I met Kanayo while we were in secondary school in Imo State and we started dating. After our secondary education, we went our separate ways. As fate would have it, we became reunited in 2006 during the Christmas season and we continued from where we stopped. Later, I got pregnant for him and informed him and he accepted.

“While I was pregnant, he came to see my parents and informed them that he was responsible for putting me in the family way. After that, he never came back and I didn’t hear from him till I put to bed. Immediately I delivered, he started calling me, but I refused to pick his calls because I felt abandoned. But later, I began to pick his calls and pardoned him on the condition that he should come to my family and perform all the necessary things. But he never did, and that was why my family disapproved of our relationship.

They warned me severally but I kept on believing that when things got better for him, he would do the necessary things. So, we kept seeing each other. Even when things were difficult for him, I stood by him. And when he had accident and was hospitalised, I kept visiting him.”

Formal hand over of our child

‘’After he recovered from the accident, he informed me that he wanted his elder sister to take our son, Samuel, while we relocate to Lagos. Initially, I refused because I didn’t like the idea of living separately with my two-year-old son. I later agreed after much persuasion that it was for our greater good and that in less than three months, when he could adequately provide for our needs, our son would come and live with us in Lagos. Also, I discovered that I was pregnant for our second child and there was no way I could refuse to go with him.

“However, I did not know that the woman he introduced to me as his elder sister, is a retired nurse who specializes in child racketeering. Kanayo never told me that he was going to sell my son. All he said was that he wanted Samuel to live with his elder sister in Owerri while we move to Lagos so that he could get a better job.”

Fear grips Nollywood over Jonathan"s exit

With generous government grants and numerous appearances on the red carpet, Nigeria’s outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan made a mark in Nollywood – the country’s home-grown movie industry turned billion-dollar enterprise. As Jonathan prepares for his exit, it is uncertain times for Nollywood, reported the Voice of America on Thursday.

In the more than 20 years since Nigeria’s Hollywood emerged, Nollywood has grown from low-budget movies sold on VHS tapes to a $5 billion movie industry.

In a 2006 UNESCO study, Nollywood was ranked the second-most productive movie industry, ahead of Hollywood and behind only India’s Bollywood.

But it was an uphill struggle until Jonathan came along, said Mike Nliam, who works at the Association of Movie Producers in Nigeria.

“We have had tremendous support from this government. I think it’s the government that has really looked into the potential and what Nollywood can be,” said Nliam.

In November 2010, Jonathan announced a $200 million fund designed to make it easier for Nigerian producers and filmmakers to get loans for their projects.

In March 2013, he announced a N3 billion – or $115 million – “Project ACT Nollywood” to build the capacity of filmmakers and actors in the movie industry while focusing on reducing the hurdles for investors.

The announcement was made to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nollywood.

The president hoped that Nollywood would become the world’s top movie industry, and he believed government support for the industry was good for the economy. But critics alleged that Jonathan was buying high-profile support ahead of the 2015 elections.

Whatever the motivation, Nollywood producer Femi Odugbemi said backing from the highest level has made a huge difference in the industry.

“Right now, this government celebrates the industry. You can see Nollywood stars standing next to the president. You can see the president going to the premiere of a Nollywood film. Everyone can see that he has elevated the status of the industry,” said Odugbemi.

And that support was repaid during the presidential campaign, as movie stars and Nollywood actors came out in force behind Jonathan.

“We are very influential people. Our actors are very influential people,” said Nliam. “Goodluck has been using them for promotion and to create that razzmatazz.”

Despite the razzmatazz, Nollywood glamour did not translate into enough votes, and the prospect of Jonathan departing office when Muhammadu Buhari is inaugurated on May 29 is unsettling for Nollywood.

The industry is in a slump after it peaked in 2008 with more than 2,600 films produced.

With presidential bolstering, the question is why? Many filmmakers and producers found it hard to tap into government funds due to excessive bureaucracy, informal processes or grants not paid out.

And then the hands-on do it yourself approach that proved so successful when Nollywood began might be stalling growth two decades later.

Many filmmakers still finance their productions with loans from friends and family and money coming from their own pocket, according to director Sundeke Lane, whose latest movie was made possible by a generous friend.

“The reason I’m not sweating is that I’m not under pressure. In other words, if I took the money from the bank I’d be really worried right now. In any case, you have to make the money and pay the money back and hopefully get the next project going,” said Lane.

With only 20 movie theaters in a country of 170 million people – and a constant influx of Hollywood blockbusters – getting your film screened is a struggle, Lane said.

That is another issue: profit per film. Nollywood doesn’t even make the top 10-list on the largest markets by box office, despite more than 2,000 movies produced each year.

Perhaps the biggest problem is piracy. According to World Bank estimates, 90 per cent of the DVDs in circulation in Nigeria are illegal copies. New releases have a two-week window before pirated versions can be found on shelves in Lagos’ Alaba market, a centre for pirated goods, said Lane.

“The pirates have been having a field day because there hasn’t been any enforcement to drive them away or to drive them underground,” said Lane. “The Nigerian film industry has to be rescued from the grips of the pirates.”

President-elect Buhari has said he will clamp down on corruption. In Nollywood hopes are that this will include pirated movies.

Nollywood Actor, Hanks Anuku Intentionally Infects Wife With HIV

Popular Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku, who is known for playing criminal roles in Nigerian movies, has revealed he tested positive for HIV.

Hank Anuku

The Nollywood actor also revealed how he deliberately infected his wife with the deadly disease. Pulse reports that the actor, now a born-again Christian, who is based in Ghana, talked in an interview about how he went to Zambia for six months in April 2011 without his wife and two kids, to take part in plays teaching about HIV and AIDS. While there he enjoyed life, sleeping with about 80 women.

“Life in Zambia was heaven on earth because we could enjoy life, moving in all places but I was missing my family. During that time I had quite a number of sexual activities and I slept with different women. When I came back home I never took care of the family. I started drinking life a fish and became an irresponsible husband leaving the entire burden to my wife,” he said.

The veteran actor also revealed that while knowing he could well be HIV positive, he infected his wife .

“I got tested while I was in Zambia after one of my girlfriends advised me about her pregnancy. She had gone for pregnancy tests and during that time she was tested for HIV and the results was shocking, she was positive. She forced me to get tested but I could not come to terms with the results. After I got tested I came back to Zimbabwe and I kept quiet about the issue. I never told my wife about the issue. I infected her but I regret. I later on received some counseling and it went well,” he explained

“During my peak of popularity I had sex with approximately 80 women, within Harare and Zambia. In 2002 it was so amazing to be on TV. I abused the fame. To make matters worse I lacked counseling and I failed to handle it properly, leaving me in this mud. I am now a born again Christian with UFIC under the guidance of Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa.” he said.

In a recent interview the actor revealed that he left Nigeria for Ghana in order to be close to God.

What really killed nollywood actor, Muna Obiekwe - late actor’s step-sister

0

A step-sister of late Nollywood actor, Muna Obiekwe, has revealed that the actor’s kidney failure was triggered by high blood pressure.

Muna Obiekwe

Muna died about 4:30pm on January 18 at a​ ​hospital in Festac, Lagos, after he collapsed and was rushed there.

He died of kidney failure and was buried February 3 at Umudioka in Anambra State.

Chinwe Obiekwe, who spoke to Inside Nollywood shortly after the funeral, said Muna’s sickness started in October 2014. She disclosed ​that ​his two kidneys had failed, making it difficult for a transplant.

“It wasn’t a normal kidney failure,” she said. “It was high blood pressure that prompted his kidney failure so it did not give us time to do the transplant because it was the two kidneys that failed.”

She said her uncles had wanted to return to Nigeria to facilitate the kidney transplant before the death of the actor.

She, however, stated​ that​ Muna had failed to take his medications for his blood pressure due to work.

“He was always on different locations so he didn’t have much time to drink his medicine properly,” Ms. Obiekwe told Inside Nollywood.

Chinwe said Muna refused to speak out on his kidney failure because “he is a private person. He is a man.”

She said that the family were able to pay for ​his medical bills and had not needed donations.

She slammed critics who blamed Muna for not disclosing his health status. She asked if the critics had asked about the welfare of the family since Muna passed on or contributed to the funeral.

In a series of tweet by the actress, she expressed her sadness and pains she is feeling over the death of an actor she has acted several movies with.

Her words “Just sitting here gazing at a picture of a boy i know but now gone because of an illness that would have been managed. The thought of his lifeless body brings me so much pain and sadness and it is not because i was close to him nor that i care so much about him but  just a mere reflection of how wicked the world is, the extent we go just to hide our pain to avoid being a laughing stock, Gossip item, abused, bullied on social medias and even betrayed by some trusted friends and even our so called families

“Oh yes that is the awful world we live in, we develop thick skin because we are betrayed almost everyday by people we love and trust so now we try to go through the difficult and trying times alone without sharing with anyone or letting the know what we are going through.

“be a neighbour and a friend that really cares, try and be trustworthy in this wicked and heartless world, i know that there are good people out there, where are they? we all can’t be evil na, let’s show others hope, love and reason to live again, a tree can’t make a forest, we need each other in one way or the other.

“He was a shining star and thus you will think he will have true friends or true friend to learn on at difficult times. It’s quite sad that i can’t trust anyone with my pain and anytime i wake up i think about death, i think about the freedom and peace that comes when i am gone from the world of hate, betrayal, deceit, greed, jealous, anger, revenge. I can only wish there is life after death, life that will be void of bad things we have experienced in this current life.. May the soul of Muna and the souls we have lost so far Rest in perfect peace.
