A PLACE IN THE STARS

Kim Dakin (Gideon okeke), a young lawyer who gets a client with a case that leaves him conflicted. He has information that can save many lives if he passes it on, but he also stands to make millions if he doesn’t. In a very corrupt, crime driven country where everyone loves money and no one cares or wants to know how you make it, the young lawyer sees this as a big opportunity to make it big.

The only problem to achieving his desire is Diokpa Okonkwo (Segun Arinze) the king pin of the counterfeit medical drugs trade who he is to face in court, doesn’t play nice at all.

He kills at will and can go as far as it takes to protect his multimillion dollar trade and is not pulling punches against Kim and his client. He has Kim’s client in jail and send out assassins to silence Kim.

Suddenly Kim is at war on two fronts; one to stay alive and the other against his conscience and everything he has been raised to believe is right.

This movie has shown to us how well we’ll miss the services of the black African lioness of blessed memory Mrs. Dora Akwuyili, who with her act of service to her fatherland saved several Nigerians from the scourge of food poisoning, expired and untested drugs. As if

that wasn’t enough she went ahead to destroy some locally drugs i.e. the woman who sold cassava flour as ampicillin and so on.

The late Mrs. Dora Akwuyili has now gotten two (2) indigenous films to her honor, the first which was “THE PATRIOT” and now that she has found her place in the hearts of several Nigerians she has also given “A PLACE IN THE STARS”

WEIRD PRACTICES IN NIGERIA

In this modern era, some of the practices which are considered a means of preserving cultural values and norms may appear strange and may even be considered outrageous by people from other parts of the world.

Let’s take a look at 7 cultural practices among various tribes in Nigeria which some may consider strange.

1. SHARO FESTIVAL:

“Sharo” means flogging. It is a public ceremony that demonstrates to the society that a young man has come of age, and may take a wife. The young participant is continuously whipped by someone else, called a challenger, but he must show no signs of pain.The Sharo cultural festival as a major event in the Fulani settlements attracts people from all works of life to witness the bravery spectacle exhibited by the young and energetic Fulanis. Usually held in a market place for a week, the festival displays the test of endurance and elicit the strength and perseverance of young males to withstand the pain emanating from severe flogging.

2.THE MAGUN:

The Nigerian society frowns at adultery. The Yoruba ethnic group has a powerful juju (black magic) called Magun for adulterers and most times the outcome is not palatable as the offender could lose his life. The Magun is placed in married woman without her being aware of it either by her husband or his family. If she commits adultery, her lover could end up losing his life or getting stuck while in the act. 

3.INHERITANCE PRACTICE:

The inheritance practices are rooted in the belief by many that the wife herself is a property that can be passed around. In some Nigerian cultures, when a man dies, the wife could be inherited by one of the man’s brothers. However, these days, greedy relatives use it as a way to access the late man’s wealth. This practice is becoming a thing of the past as more women are becoming enlightened and rejecting it.

4.WIDOWHOOD PRACTICE:

As if it is not enough that a woman lost her partner to the cold hands of death, she would be subjected to further humiliation to prove she has no hand in his death. In some Nigerian cultures, the widow is forced to drink water used in washing her husband’s corpse. Family members of the deceased also forcefully shave her hair and make her sleep with the corpse. This is done to prove that the widow is not responsible for her husband’s death. This culture is gradually going out of practice.

5.THE SERVICEHOOD OR NWABOY PHENOMENOM:

This is mostly practiced by the Igbos. The Nwaboy or servant serves the master in return for settlement, often in the form of an automobile spare part shop; electronics or super market. During this period, the Nwaboy stays under the masters’ tutelage for an agreed number of years to learn the ropes of the business. After he faithfully serves his master for the number of years, he is rewarded. Sometimes, it is not advantageous to the Nwaboy as the master ends up cheating him of his reward.

6. FEMALE CIRCUMCISSION:

Many tribes in Africa still follow this scary tradition. Nigeria is one of the countries in Africa where female circumcision is widely practiced. For men circumcision is partial or complete removal of foreskin around the private parts and for women it is removal of private parts. This is meant to preserve the chastity of women. As the level of education increases, the likelihood of supporting the practice of female circumcision reduces and regular use of media of communication such as radio and television is an influential factor against the practice of female circumcision in Nigeria.

7.WITCH HUNTING:

This is practiced mostly among the Edos. If a man or woman is suspected of practicing witchcraft due to strange occurrences or deaths in the family or community, he or she will be taken to witch doctor. The suspect undergoes all kinds of torture to force the truth out of them and they end up confessing. The confession is enforced by the witch doctor and if the suspect is found guilty, he or she will be ex-communicated from the community.

ON STRIKE AGAIN

AOCOED; ON STRIKE AGAIN

 Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) has gone on strike again with both lecturers and the non-teaching staff in agreement. The school located at Otto/Ijanikin is affiliated with Eksu and Unad. The ongoing strike is caused by some grievances on the part of the staff, some of which include a proposed increment of salary for the staff, defaults in the payment of salaries as at when due etc.

This strike has caused them to closed down the school gates thereby no person(s) is allowed in the school premises. These act has made both secondary

(Aocoed international school) and primary (Aocoed staff school) school to shut down therefore causing the students to have a compulsory and unexpected break. This strike will continue until they get a positive response from the government.

Not only the students are feeling the headache but the transport workers in these areas is not finding it funny either, a trip from Agbara to okoko that will take them nothing less than (30) minutes now takes almost an hour due to the slight traffic jam caused by these angry set of individuals. The state government needs to come to the aid of the students as soon as possible because they had already wasted more than two(2)

weeks of serious academic activities to the Ebola virus threat that ravaged the nation as at that time.

This strike will not only cause instability in the educational body but it will also prevent the school from completing the curriculum of the academic calendar year. Speaking on behalf of Nigeria students “this is a malicious and an unforgivable injustice to education”   

PRIEST ON FIRE

PRIEST ON FIRE

Who is the Sinner, Who is the Saint?

What happens when a church who should save the world, needs saving?

Is there any sin that is unforgivable?

                   

We began the day as usual; Sunday was a time everyone in the house did one thing in common- Going to Church. Daddy was always the first to wake up in the house. Daddy's zeal for serving God was something that cannot be compared to anyone else in my neighborhood. His training as a retired assistant commissioner of Police made him understand the true meaning of dedication and service. By 5:30 am we were all seated in the parlor ready for the Daily Morning Devotion. For us, waking up at this time of the day was torture, because truthfully, the cold breeze by this time of the day makes our sleep sweeter. Sister Bisi my immediate elder sister led the praise & worship while daddy told Brother Edwin our first born to take the message for the day. In about 30 minutes we were done with the devotion and good to go.    

As the whole family strolls back to the room to catch a little nap, daddy is knotting his tie and getting set to move out. Being a worker and an elder in the church, daddy made it his personal habit to always be the first person in church for the Workers Meeting, which usually commences by 7.00am. By 6:45am; daddy is already out of the house, while sounding a huge warning that everyone must be in church before Sunday school starts by 8.00am. Usually, once its 8.00am daddy is always on the look out to see the last person that would step into the church. Such person never always has a good story to tell afterwards.

Quickly I went down stairs to open the gate, as Mummy was downstairs with Bisi in the car. Slowly our Red Toyota Previa Bus emerged from the house. Brother Edwin had spent time washing it on Saturday so it came out looking like a brand new. If I didn’t know better, I could swear that Brother Edwin attended a Car Wash training institute in his former life. Daddy never allows me wash any of the cars because, according to him, I LACK PATIENCE… They (Mummy, Brother Edwin and Sister Bisi) always say am always in a hurry.  Anyway, I locked the gate, and then jumped into the car.

Going late to church was an issue, but when mummy is in the car with us, we know that we are a bit insured from any major attack from daddy.  Mummy, who didn’t really like the church daddy attended, had a way to systematic cool daddy’s anger. She didn’t really understand how a church would commence its service by 7.00am and then close by 2.00pm. According to her, a Sunday church service should not exceed 2hrs… and at most 3hrs. Anything more than that is unnecessary waste of time. Although mummy was born again, her perception of Christianity was a bit more flexible than daddy’s rigid pattern.

As we entered the church premises, I quickly found my way to the teenage church…

unknown to me; today was the 1^st Sunday of the month of March. Every first Sunday of the month has specially been reserved as a THANKSGIVING Sunday. This means that everyone one will worship in the main church. The Children, Teenagers and Adults will all worship in the same place. For me, the bad part of the THANKSGIVING SERVICE is the time consumption. Service that usually ends by 2.00 pm sometimes extends to 3.00 pm because of the various activities lined up for the day.

On this particular Sunday it was most annoying for me because I did not eat before leaving the house. Usually Mummy or Sister Bisi don’t cook on Sunday mornings because daddy is trying to instill the principle of FASTING on us, however as per sharp guys concern, I and Brother Edwin use to preserve the leftovers of Saturday’s dinner, so we can help ourselves with  it in the morning. Albeit, on this particular Sunday, I just didn’t remember to eat because I was busy playing soccer on my Ps2 Console.

Retracing my way back to the main church, I saw Daddy asking the Sunday school teacher questions about the topic treated that morning. I went to seat at the edge of the church at a point where I couldn’t be seen by Daddy from the Ministers Corner; and careful enough to avoid Mummy’s eyes also. Aside all the stress that comes from going to church, there was something that always gets me excited about church… It was … CLARA. The first time I saw Clara, I thought she wasn’t human. She didn’t look human, trust me. She looked more divine than natural. It was at the annual Teenage Sunday School Quiz Competition; I was representing my parish, while she was representing another local parish. It’s not like I am one kind of religious guru o! I was just smart and intelligent, so my Sunday school teachers loved me. I and one Collins Owolabi were selected to represent our church. At the competition, I and Owolabi were the underdogs… no one really gave us a chance to come out with anything good.  Although I didn’t take the quiz serious, when I saw that my opponent was a girl… and not just any girl but a beautiful one at that, I was sooooo… motivated to do well. A competition that was suppose to last for at most 1hour ended up lasting for about 2:30 minutes. The Moderators were tired. Clara was giving complete text book answers, while I was mixing my little Sunday school knowledge with common sense knowledge. Obviously, Clara didn’t like my style, and sincerely I disliked her confidence. After much futile attempt to get a winner, the Judges declared us joint winners. Though we both didn’t like the decision, but the fact that I didn’t lose to a girl put a smile on my cheeks. The smile got broader when we (Clara and I) were called out to take a Winners Picture together. Oh my god! Standing close to her at that point was and remains one of my most exciting moments in my entire history. With the way my teeth were shinning, I could have easily modeled for Close Up toothpaste.
