Nigeria's Pete Edochie Dead?

Contrary to rumours last week that popular Nollywood actor and veteran broadcaster Pete Edochie had died, the actor is hale and hearty, Nigeria’s Weekend Groove (WG) reported. Edochie was rumoured to have passed away during the week, a situation which threw the movie industry into a momentary shock, as it is yet to recover from the one it sustained recently due to the death of veteran actor Sam Loco-Efe. Actor Ofiafuluagu Mbaka, chairman, Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Enugu State chapter, who dismissed the rumour when contacted on telephone by WG, said the veteran actor was hale and hearty. “I just spoke with him on telephone now. If he is dead, I should have been contacted before now. He’s alive and not dead. He travelled to the north to promote his new movie. I also spoke with his personal assistant who confirmed to me that a lot of people have called him on telephone to make inquires in respect of the rumour. Segun Arinze called me earlier and I told him that the man is still alive,” Mbaka cleared the air. A devout Catholic, Edochie is considered one of Africa’s most talented actors, having starred in thousands of movies. Although a seasoned administrator and broadcaster, he came into prominence in the 1980s when he played the lead role of Okonkwo in an NTA adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s all time bestselling novel, ‘Things Fall Apart.’ He has two sons who inherited his acting skills; Linc and Yul Edochie.

D-Black Supports Underprivileged Kids

Rapper D-Black, who recently returned from the United States and South Africa, after he was nominated for the BET Awards and Channel O Awards respectively, is planning a campaign to support the underprivileged in society during the festive season.

‘As we celebrate Christmas this festive season, we should remember that there are people out there in Ghana suffering, especially children. The little we can afford to spare to help a needy child in our society could go a long way to help a child have a better and brighter future. Everyone in life needs a helping hand one way or the other, so we shouldn’t hesitate to if we can,” D-Black said.

“This past year I’ve been blessed by God greatly in many ways, from my music career down to keeping my family safe and I am tremendously grateful. This is my own small way of showing appreciation, my widow’s mite. So on Boxing Day, December 26 at 1 pm, join me and the entire Black Avenue Muzik team donate to all the kids at the children’s ward at the Ridge Hospital and at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital as well as hundreds of children at selected orphanages in Accra towards their education, growth and have them also have them experience what it means to have a merry Christmas.”

This donation is ahead of D-Black’s highly-anticipated finale of his nationwide tour ‘The Yes Boss Tour’ in Accra on December 30.

Mawuli Akpabi, artiste manger at Black Avenue Muzik, entreated all D-Black fans and corporate bodies to be part of his initiative.

“Nothing is too small to give these children for they are our future leaders. It doesn’t have to be one orphanage or children’s ward. We can spend the entire day going round just giving from our hearts,” D-Black added.

D-Black also appealed to other musicians and entertainment industry personalities to do their best to support the less fortunate children in society.

He also commended Ayigbe Edem and Miss Malaika 2009, Gezelle Addai, for their donations made to the less fortunate over the past few years.

“A giving hand is better than a praying lip; let’s help build a better and brighter future for Ghana.”

Stella Damasus Denies Cocaine Saga

Nollywood actress Stella Damasus has debunked rumours flying around that NDLEA arrested and humiliated her at the airport recently.

Nollywood’s celebsregion.com quoted the actress as saying, “I have been in Cameroon with my team since the end of October working on a movie project, so what is this I’m reading about myself and NDLEA.

So I wonder where Prince Otunba Ayodeji Adesogan got his information from. I just hope you all don’t believe all the lies people cook up.

I have never tweeted that I regret being a movie star, neither was I rough handled by NDLEA at the airport for anything.”

Nollywood reports last week said the actress was thoroughly drilled by men of the anti-drug agency over what was suspected to be an attempt by Damasus to smuggle drugs suspected to be cocaine to Dubai.

The embarrassing incident allegedly occurred last week Thursday, November 10, 2011.

According to onlinenigeria.com sources, the actress was taken into the custody of the NDLEA where she was searched thoroughly in a very rigorous pattern.

A series of scans was carried out on her before she was freed by the men of the agency.

Stella Damasus was delayed by the Drug Law Enforcers to the extent that she even missed her flight to Dubai and had to travel on another flight after she had been released.

The actress later twitted: “Today I regret being a Nollywood Star” as friends and fans of the actress questioned her on what could have necessitated the comment.

Efforts by the website to reach the actress to comment on the issue proved futile as at press time she was said to be enjoying her holiday in Dubai.

But the actress has denied the entire story.

Blows Over Ghanaian Actress

NEWS-ONE has gathered that the shoot of a new movie titled ‘Asylum Down’ did not end on a quiet note following reports that the lead cast of the movie tried re-enacting the movie’s script in real life.    

Sources told this paper that Nigerian actor Scott Robert, one of the lead actors, was in a fight with a rising Ghanaian actor over lead actress Magdalene Mensah, while he was in Ghana for the shoot.

Scott and the Ghanaian actor, whose name was given as David Hans, are both in love with Magdalene.

Both guys are very good friends who are madly in love with Magdalene to the extent that each of them tried to destroy the other to the actress.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t succeed with their plans as the only option to win Magdalene was to physically assault each other.

NEWS-ONE’s source said “hell broke loose” at the Afrikiko Restaurant a couple of months ago when the two men engaged in a real fight in front of their friends and patrons at the pub over the actress.

They broke bottles and were about to kill themselves. Producer Sorag, son of veteran producer Hammond Mensah of HM Films, and his friends managed to separate the two.

“Sorag was made to pay for damages they caused at Afrikiko. It was really crazy. The lady loves the Nigerian guy. You know some of these our Ghanaian ladies and Nigerian guys. But David was the one who made the move first and he has been talking to Scott about Magdalene. But Scott goes behind him to tell Magdalene other things,” the source added.

NEWS-ONE’s attempts to contact Scott, Magdalene and David proved futile.

Producer Sorag won’t pick his calls to react. When this paper finally got through to him on Sunday morning, he said he was driving around Mallam Junction and would call back after reaching his office, but he did not.

The new movie features a number of rising actors from Ghana’s movie industry, with John Dumelo as one of the lead men.
