Contro- versial actress & singer Afrocandy calls for ‘soft porn’ actors

Controversial artiste turned movie producer, Judith Opara Mazagwu popularly known as AfroCandy has called on actors for movie that would require actors to go nude. From her message, it is evident that there would be more than a nude scene.
She placed an advert online on Thursday, April 19 at about 5:54pm calling on interested actors to get in touch with her.
The advert read, “I have scripts lined up for production and there will also be nudity in most of them.
So, if you are an aspiring actor and actress, [and] you have the passion and will like to get naked, send in your info/contacts for casting. I look forward to meeting and working with you.”
She earlier pointed, “it takes a lot of guts to get naked in front of the Camera. In couple of my concluded up-coming movies, there’s a lot of nudity in them.”
Judith co-produced Ikebe Squard and also acted in Destructive Instinct produced by Theophilius Efe and directed by Chico Ejiro.
The ‘notorious’ singer is indifferent to going nude herself as she did in a video of her single ‘Voodoo/Juju Woman’.

Mercy Johnson Slaps Makeup Artist On Set & Smashes Her Phone For Filming Her

mercy johnson

Actress Mercy Johnson recently displayed that when it comes to anger management, she is just as vulnerable as super model, Naomi Campbell. While filming in Asaba, the Delta State capital a couple of months back, the actress lost her cool, seized a fan’s blackberry phone and guess what? Smashed it!

Reason, the fan, a make-up artiste on the set was filming her while in action acting a romantic scene.

Insiders who witnessed the shameful drama on the set of a movie by Amaco Brothers entitled In The Mind, says that all was well until a make-up artiste on set, a female, obviously enthralled by the callipygian decided to record her favourite star on her blackberry phone as she was acting a romantic scene.

Sources say she was in the thick of acting when she noticed what was happening and jumped off set and charged at the make-up artiste. Slapped her across the face, grabbed her black berry phone and smashed it shouting: “This is how it all begins, this is how it all begins. Before you know it they will start writing lies about me in the press!”

So angry was Mrs. Okojie that it took the entire cast to calm her down and she only agreed to continue shooting on one condition that the said make-up artiste be dismissed from the set.

“I am really shocked,” the said make-up artiste moaned as she sobbed obviously in shock at Mercy’s attack. “I respect and love Mercy so much. She is my role model. I never believed she could get so angry and do such a terrible thing to me. Now I have lost my blackberry phone; I am so sad.”

Ibori’s case: My conscience is clear —Justice Awokulehin, who cleared ex-Delta gov •Says there is difference between criminal law in Nigeria and Britain

Written by Johnson Babajide, Makurdi
Monday, 23 April 2012

JUSTICE Marcel Idowu Awokulehin who exonerated former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, now serving 13 years jail term in the United Kingdom, has stated that his conscience is clear over the clean bill he granted the convict.

The judge, who was making reference to his judgment over Ibori’s case at the hearing of a case involving a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial aspirant, Terver Kakii and Governor Gabriel Suswam at the Federal High Court sitting in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, recently enjoined Governor Suswam’s lead counsel, Mr Jubrin Okutepa SAN, who argued on how a local publisher in the state dragged the judiciary through the mud in his publication not to be disturbed with any publication against the judiciary “once your conscience is clear.”

According to the judge, “let me give you an instance, I read a column in This Day newspaper over my ruling in the case involving James Ibori. The columnist, in his write-up said he wondered what will be running through my mind now that Ibori had admitted guilt in London to the case I exonerated him of.”

Justice Awokulehin further said that there was a sharp difference between criminal law in Nigeria and Britain, stressing that Nigerian law states that any criminal law should be proved beyond reasonable doubt while that of Britain is inference.

The judge, who is based in Nasarawa State but was assigned to handle the case which had suffered a setback,  said “I am always guided by the submission of Justice [Dahiru] Musdapher who said that one should not mind what people say as long as your conscience is clear in your decision.

“What the Nigerian law says over criminal case is that such allegations must be proved beyond reasonable doubt, which is different from British law which is based on inference. What happens there is to assume, so, SAN, do not border about what the witness wrote.”

Mr Okutepa SAN had in his cross-examination of the witness, one Faatever in the case between Terver Kaaki and Governor Gabriel Suswam over last year’s primary election before the judge, said that the witness who is also a local publisher had rubbished the integrity of the judiciary in his local paper, accusing some judges of the Appeal Court of bias.

It will be recalled that former Governor Ibori was last week sentenced to 13 years in prison, having admitted stealing money from his state and laundering it in London totalling over 79 million US dollars.

She said she didn’t want to be linked with the split of 9ice with his ex-manager and she didn’t give any term.

Pioneering rapper Dr. Dre, 47, who has worked with top artists including Eminem and 50 Cent, took the No. 3 position, with a net worth of $260 million, a bulk of which comes from his headphone company, Beats Electronics, which he co-owns with Interscope Records founder Jimmy Iovine.

My breakup story [a must read for females]

When I first met my vibrator, I was twenty years old, looking to enhance my art of masturbation, and add more power to my orgasms. I had been touching myself since I was 11, mainly with my fingers and occasional objects. But I had never experienced a deep orgasm until the second time I had sex, and it felt like all the energy being built in my vagina dispersed to every cell in my anatomy. It was an intense feeling I could never seem to get myself to again without a sexual partner, but I kept hearing how women were experiencing similar types of orgasms through vibrating toys.
With a guy I was dating, I went to a sex shop and he purchased my first vibrating rabbit dildo, which was followed by a vibrating “pelvic floor” massager gifted by the host of a media appearance I did. Both toys had multiple vibration settings, and when applied to my clitoris, I’d feel powerful orgasms shoot through my body within seconds, matching many of the sensations I’d felt with my sexual partners.
I was addicted.
I’d go to work, come home, and play with my toys. I’d still have sex with the guy I was dating, but all of the sudden it became a simple “option” instead of a necessity to fulfill my sexual urges. I learned how liberating masturbation really could be for women. And I reveled in my newfound power to get myself off in a powerful way.
But there was one thing; I noticed that the initial vibration settings that I used when I first got my vibrator were no longer enough to “get me off.” I found myself increasing the power of each toy’s vibration until I eventually hit the maximum setting. Otherwise, I wouldn’t get the same powerful orgasm that I was addicted to feeling. And that was a problem.
As a sexuality writer, I read a lot of literature and research on sex. And when I really dove into learning more about the clitoris’ anatomy and how many nerves women really have down there, I realized that the power of vibrators might be great for providing powerful orgasmic shocks but they also numb some of our nerves after repeated use.
What I was feeling in terms of needing stronger vibrations to get my orgasmic fix was my nerves getting number to touch. Now I needed strong, powerful finger strokes or vibrations to get my juices flowing, when before I only needed a light rub, tongue tickle, or touch by my partner.
So I decided to take a break from using my toys. And eventually, my addiction faded. I began to only use them maybe once or twice a month. I focused on getting my clitoris and vaginal sensations responsive again to light touches and mere thoughts. Now, I’m at a place where I feel more sensitive in that area than ever. And I’m not willing to lose it.
I had an orgasm recently from my fingers gently stroking my clitoris, and my body shook like someone took me by the shoulders and was trying to shake me awake from the dead. It was that powerful. I realized that I didn’t need my toys. And that natural masturbation can give you just as much pleasure as vibrators if you take the time to train and focus on your senses down there.
It’s official. I’m breaking up with my vibrator.
Do you use vibrators to frequently masturbate? Or do you find it better to solely depend on your hands and non-vibrating objects? Speak on it.
