I do not know Gideon Okeke-- Chiwetalu Agu


Tinsel actor, Gideon Okeke, drew some flak during the week when he took to his social media page to say that veteran actor, Chiwetalu Agu should be sanctioned for his use of vulgar words in movies . He wrote,

“ You know him as the wicked uncle in films , but I need to check the sanity of my ears and mind whenever he comes on screen …the measure of liberty this actor enjoys from directors and producers to improvise vulgarities in movies is not funny anymore …hiding behind the pretext that not all your audience
understands Igbo language is no
excuse to throw all decorum out of the window… this is a case for the Film and Video Censors Board …” However , after several attacks from his fans , Gideon deleted the post .
war of words ensured between chiwetalu Agu and Gideon Okeke
Sunday Scoop reached out to Agu for his reaction to the allegations levelled against him, and he said , “ Let him leave the censors board to do their job , or does he work with them ?Anybody can say anything or come to whatever conclusion they please.

The viewers would judge whether I use vulgar words in movies or not . People who watch movies are the ultimate judges . I do not even know who Gideon Okeke is ; I do not think I have ever heard his name . If people like AMAA are talking to me about this, I would know how to react appropriately . But this is an. individual I do not even know.
 He has his own style , and I have mine which has won me awards all over
the continent and even beyond.”Speaking further , he said , “ This is the first time anyone will be accusing me of vulgarity. Others have been hailing me . What we do is satire ; we are re - enacting what happens in the society.

People I have encountered and those who have called me have been full of praise for me . It will also interest you to know that I am the highest award -winning actor in Africa. I have 47 awards to my name ; and the second person behind me has not even got up to 10 awards. Two years ago, I took two cows to church to celebrate and thank God for giving me the highest number of awards in Africa .
Secondly , I have done 727 productions . It is a rare record in Africa . I am also the current holder of the Best Veteran Actor award which was given to me in Ohio United States of America . People like Olu Jacobs and other time - tested Nollywood practitioners were nominated for that same award but I was chosen. My record is the best in all ramifications . I have spent about 35 years in the movie industry , and I am a big pillar of Nollywood . ”
He further said he is appreciated by leaders all over the world. “ Even former President Goodluck Jonathan confessed about three years ago that whenever he travels out of the country , foreign leaders ask after people like me , Jim Iyke , and Genevieve Nnaji. Because of that, he put N 3 bn into Nollywood ’s account , and asked the former Finance Minister , Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala to manage the funds for Nollywood. This fund is still open to Nollywood practitioners . It goes without saying that I am very big in Nollywood . I am a father, legend, and icon ,” he said .
Calls put through to Gideon were not answered or returned as of the time of filing this report . It will be recalled that Tonto Dike has previously denied knowing Gideon Okeke.
Nawa ooo.

What you need to know about the Lunar eclipse

Lunar eclipse The longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century occurs on July 27 – this is what you need to know. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire Moon enters Earth’s shadow. The July 27 eclipse will last for 1 hour and 43 minutes, according to NASA . The Moon will turn a red or ruddy-brown color during the “blood moon eclipse,” Space.com reports. Skywatchers in the U.S will not be able to enjoy the rare event, unless they are willing to travel. The eclipse will be mainly visible in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia as well as some parts of South America. “For an especially long-lasting total lunar eclipse of 1 hour and 43 minutes to occur, the moon has to pass through the central part of the Earth’s shadow,” explains EarthSky. “The previous total lunar eclipse on January 31, 2018, didn’t last as long (1 hour and 16 minutes) because the moon passed to the south of shadow’s center; and the next total lunar eclipse on January 21, 2019 , won’t be as long eith
