BREAKING NEWS!! “BODE OJO” CONFIRMS PRICE INCREASE FOR “GIAMA” TICKETS ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2013!!!

An electrifying new story!

EVENT FLYERS, “RAMSEY NOUAH” PROMO VIDEO, AND INFORMATION ARE RIGHT BELOW.

For those who do not know, “GIAMA” stands for the “Golden Icons Academy Movie Awards”. This respected event celebrates and promotes the best of African entertainment on the continent of Africa. Merely two years old, the GIAMA has been dubbed the most recognized African affair in North America, showcasing the best of African Arts to the Hollywood community.

Immediately after the internet leak of the provocative move to up prices for GIAMA tickets, Nollywood Spotlight caught up with the C.E.O and founder of the prestigious event. We were given a brief interview with the very busy Bode Ojo (Founder and C.E.O of the GIAMA and the Golden Icons Magazine). Without hesitation, he confirmed that the entire board members of the award ceremony agreed to increase the price for tickets beginning September 30th 2013. This was due to the increase in demand for seats at the award ceremony. He went on to say the reason for the delay was also to allow early-birds ample time to purchase their tickets at a lower price. He urged everyone to purchase their tickets now before the sudden price increase!

Mr. Ojo also confirmed the attendance of several A-List Nollywood superstars to be present at the mega event. In addition, he confirmed he only awaits a few other airline itineraries, then a full list of Nollywood/ Hollywood star attendees will be made available to the public on the GIAMA website. “However, it is no secret that Ramsey Nouah will be hosting this prestigious event and the highly respected Richard Mofe Damijo (R.M.D) is scheduled to be one of the special guests of honor at the GIAMA” says the C.E.O and founder.

SEE PICTURES!!! ZUHAIR MURAD'S TOP 18 SEXIEST DESIGNER DRESSES WORTH $15,000!!! WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT?!!

An exhilarating new story!

SEE FULL PICTURES RIGHT BELOW THE SURVEY. 

Fashion in Africa is changing! This days, African fashion is becoming more accepting of western styles and culture. This new trend is encouraging African designers to create more versatile designs that combines both western and Africa cultures together.  

Statistics show that fans are drawn to celebrities who have been able to display a balance between African and western culture. More so, despite the delay in Africa for current western styles, fans still demand the latest looks from celebrities. A good example is Omotola Jolade Ekinde, who won "best dressed" at the 2013 African Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards. Rita Dominic also won "best dressed" at the 2013 African Movie Academy Awards. Sources also say both celebrities previewed many designer dresses before finally settling on the gown they wore to the award shows.

Below are pictures of the latest trends in designer gowns. These gowns were designed by Zuhair Murad, one of Europe's most popular and reputable designers. His designs are strongly influenced by Arabian and western culture. Each dress cost roughly anywhere from $7,000 to $15,000.

The question to you is this: If you were given the choice to pick one of the dresses below to wear to an African award show, which one would you chose?

Below is an extremely short survey, put a check mark next to the dress you like best!

** Don't worry, the following survey is confidential. **

No one (including "Nollywood Spotlight") will be able to see your personal information.

ALTHOUGH THIS DESIGNER WILL SEE THIS SURVEY, HE STILL CAN NOT SEE THE NAME, PICTURE, OR INFORMATION OF THE PERSON WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS SURVEY.

SEE PICTURES!! WHAT YOU MISSED AT "THE MIX LOUNGE" IN HOUSTON TEXAS U.S.A?!!

An Irresistible story!

PICTURES ARE RIGHT BELOW THE EVENT DETAILS.

"The Mix Lounge" on Bissonnet and Synott in Houston, Texas U.S.A, was packed with beautiful people dressed to impress! "Nollywood Spotlight" in accordance with "Victory Media Pro" interviewed some of the VIPs that attended the event.

Unfortunately, the star of the show was over an hour late which in turn made the atmosphere tense. "Senator" the highly acclaimed comedian who was flown from Nigeria for the event, stepped up to the challenge and earned his pay that night. Everyone could not stop laughing! In addition to that, other local and international musicians scheduled for the event gave an excellent performance.

The crowd still eagerly awaited the arrival of the Superstar "StormRex". Just as expected, "StormRex" arrived in style with her paparazzi and wowed her audience by giving a dazzling performance.

You should have been there! Princess Belemzy out did herself this time!  It was a night packed full of people with performances from local and international entertainers!

Below are pictures of my interview and a few of the VIPs that attended the event. Enjoy!

SHOULD AFRICAN MOVIES MADE IN EUROPE BE CLASSIFIED AS NOLLYWOOD ?!!

A fun new survey for you!

SEE FULL PICTURES RIGHT BELOW THE SURVEY.

Africans in Africa that watch Nollywood films made in the Unites States or the United Kingdom, classify these movies as Independent films or Hollywood movies. Based on our research, the reason why some Africans feel this way is because most of the actors and actresses in these films wear western clothing and tell stories based on African experiences in Europe. Africans in Africa sometimes find it difficult to connect with these stories. 

However, Nollywood filmmakers usually select lead actors or actresses that have a solid reputation in Nollywood to star in their movies. This is to maintain some cultural connection and keep or expand Nollywood's current fan base both in Africa and Abroad. 

The question to you is this: With the information above in mind, should African movies made in Europe still be classified as Nollywood?

** Don't worry, the following survey is confidential. **

No one, including "Nollywood Spotlight", will be able to see your personal information.

SPEAK YOUR MIND AND HAVE FUN!!
