Media personality Toke Makinwa has stirred debate by claiming that women cheat more than men but are better at hiding it.

AGN president urges CAN to reconsider stance on Ini Edo’s A Very Dirty Christmas

Outgoing Actors Guild of Nigeria president, Dr Ejezie Emeka Rollas, has called for calm and constructive dialogue between the Christian Association of Nigeria and the creative industry over reactions to Ini Edo’s film A Very Dirty Christmas.

According to him, criticisms based only on the title would benefit from a more complete engagement with the movie itself.​ Rollas stressed that Christmas remains a sacred season […]
