Boobs-toting Nollywood diva and singer, Cossy Orjiakor, is never one
<br>
to go missing in a crowd. Not by a long shot. Her humongous mammary
<br>
has become such a legend, that both men and women cannot ignore her.
<br>
Though many may find her repulsive but it doesn't seem to take any
<br>
hair off her skin as she  flaunts them readily anywhere the
<br>
opportunity presents itself.
<br>
TheNutty Queencrooner recently took to her Facebook page to tell her
<br>
fans how much she cherishes her boobs by heaping praises on God for
<br>
bestowing her with such gift of life. " I am so grateful to God for
<br>
this lovely boobs. Though sometimes they are such a burden. The load
<br>
gets big but I love them" she says.

death a referee in a Michigan United Soccer League match in America.

Bassel Saad had already been booked when official John Bieniewicz
<br>

<br>
reacted by knocking the referee unconscious with a single punch,

After Bollywood and Nollywood, Uganda brings ‘Wakaliwood’

It's a searing hot day, and a group of commandos are attempting a
<br>
daring prison break.
<br>
"Stop, get them!" General Placdo, a drunkard and an invincible Kung Fu
<br>
master in khaki fatigues, shouts in the local Luganda language.
<br>
"You will never succeed, we will destroy the world! You will see!"
<br>
screams a recurring villain in a black balaclava, who is the leader of
<br>
the Tiger Mafia, before a fistfight ensues.
<br>
This is no real-life jailbreak, rather a scene from "Operation
<br>
Kakongoliro" ("Ugandan Expendables"), an action film due for release
<br>
later this year. It is being filmed in a scrap yard in Wakaliga, a
<br>
slum in Uganda's capital Kampala now baptised "Wakaliwood".
<br>
"It is going to be as big as Nollywood, Bollywood or even Hollywood –
<br>
there's no reason why not," writer, director, editor and producer
<br>
Isaac Nabwana boasted of Uganda's informal film industry — boldly
<br>
insisting studios in Nigeria, India and the United States will get a
<br>
run for their money.
<br>
"We think Hollywood people will come here," he said.
<br>
Raised by his grandparents in Wakaliga, which today has a population
<br>
of just under 2,000 people, Nabwana's family didn't buy a television
<br>
until 1984.

MultiChoice Africa, the continent's premier pay-TV company, has
<br>
described as appalling the violence being visited on foreigners in
<br>
South Africa.
<br>
In a statement issued on April 16, MultiChoice Africa said those
<br>
affected by the wave of anti-foreigner violence are brothers and
<br>
sisters to their assailants.
<br>
This, the company said, is abominable and strongly condemnable.
<br>
It urged Africans to see themselves as one irrespective of differences
<br>
in nationalities, traditions and religions because Africa's potential
<br>
is realisable only through unity.
<br>
"As a multicultural African organisation, we respect and embrace
<br>
diversity, and all the different traditions and religions across the
<br>
continent.
