PHOTOS FROM FIFTY MOVIE LONDON PREMIERE

The London premiere of FIFTY was held on Saturday the 17th October at the  Vue Cinema, Leicester Square.
The film directed by Biyi Bandele and executive produced by Mo Abudu
stars Iretiola Doyle, Omoni Oboli, Nse Ikpe Etim, and Dakore Egbuson.

FIFTY captures a few pivotal days in the lives of four Nigerian women at the pinnacle of their careers. Fifty was selected under the ‘Love Category’ amongst a diverse selection of films at the BFI London Festival. Fifty is perfectly suited to this year’s festival theme “The Year of the Strong Woman”; a fitting theme for this riveting exploration of love and lust, power and rivalry, seduction and infidelity.
Iretiola Doyle, Omoni Oboli, Nse Ikpe Etim, and Dakore Egbuson are excellent in the film. The grand world premiere is scheduled for 13th of December 2015 at The Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Miss Uganda UK 2015 to Support Child Sacrifice Awareness Campain

As JM Promotions crowns its 5th Miss Uganda UK​ queen, the pageant is partnering with Jubilee Campaign​ to raise child sacrifice awareness back in Uganda. The practice that seems to be on the increase is driven by superstition, exploitation, witchcraft and extreme poverty. Innocent children’s body parts are cut off and used in ritual ceremonies in the belief that they will be consumed by spirits in exchange for good health, riches, success or solve other problems. Children and parents live in fear of kidnap and murder.

During her reign, Miss Uganda UK 2015 queen will be working to help raise awareness towards this practice to save these young lives. She will also be travelling to Uganda to add her voice to the campaign that also includes a petition to the president and Parliament of Uganda to introduce laws that can help protect children from child sacrifice.
