I knew this already! Nigerian movie producers seem to take advantage of every situation in the country to make a movie out of it and now, they have started making movies on the dreaded Ebola Virus disease.

It was just a matter of time before heartless Nigerian movie producers who, for the lack of depth, take advantage of every situation to come out with some run of the mills movie. And just like we predicted, they have latched onto the outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease in the country to come out with a movie on it.

Just like they did with the unfortunate killing of four students of the University of Port Harcourt by the Aluu Community and the kidnapping of female students of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, by the BokoHaram sect, a movie production outfit, Times Gate Production International, has come out with a movie entitled Ebola, apparently on the dreaded EVD.

Is this a case what is called in local parlance, 'Naija no dey carry last?

In a chat with source , Jim was not willing to speak on anything about his relationship but rather , gushed more about his business ventures and others.

He said that , he is more focused on his business ventures than anything else and he has not abandoned Nollywood, rather it’s the other businesses that is hindering him from accepting more scripts in Nigeria, He also noted that he will be off the line in Nollywood for long…

Jim added that he felt after over 10 years of being in the movie industry , he wants to concentrate more on his businesses and establish properly before going back to school.

We hope to see you soon on Tv cus we missed your rough moves a lot….

A host of Nigerian bloggers, quick to post any rumour without elementary check, were at it again Monday, announcing with relish, the ‘death’, of famous, iconic Yoruba author, novelist and Nollywood script writer, Adebayo Faleti like they wrote a false news about Don Jazzy's death which he later debunked his death rumour (See).
On Nairaland, Nigeria’s leading site, one Marioking announced the author’s death at 11.10 a.m on Monday, and even went ahead to compose a poem  for him in a mix of Yoruba and English:
The exit of a cultural icon!
Gbogbo ọmọ Yorùbá ekú ìdèlé,
“Ẹyẹ kò dédé bà lè òrùlé”
Adieu Baba Adebayo Faleti!!!

Thereafter, there were sympathetic comments, on the old man’s alleged transition. The rumour however was exploded by a statement from the Adebayo Faleti Foundation and a logger, who said he had spoken with a relation of Faleti, who confirmed that he is alive, ‘hale and hearty’.
“Adebayo Faleti is much alive, hale and hearty…..Please, let all bloggers be warned of false information that the renown Literary writer and Actor, Adebayo Faleti is dead all in the name of generating traffic…Any caught blogger will suffer legal penalty…Be warned of defamation of character….”, wrote the Foundation.
But the announcement had already gone viral and bloggers persisted in spreading the rumour. Olorisupergal  posted it,  announcing  that the 84 year old writer , died after some illness.” Veteran actor,poet and writer,Adebayo Faleti is dead”, the blogger reported. But as at this morning, the post has been  yanked off.
Some of the bloggers were however a bit cautious in reporting what turned out to be yet another wild rumour on the worldwide web.
Faleti, born  on  26 December 1930 in Agbooye in Oyo State, western Nigeria. He largely educated himself, as a young person, growing up. But  in 1966, he attended the University of Dakar in Senegal and obtained a Certificate of proficiency in French Language and Civilization. Two years later, he graduated from the University Of Ibadan, Nigeria with an honours degree in English. Later on in 1971, he attended the Radio Netherlands Training Center in Hilversum, Holland in 1971 and received a certificate in Television Production
