“The moment our eyes met at Even Ezra Studios many years ago, I knew you were the one for me and I for you.
Innocent is an extraordinary being. It really seems like yesterday, (can’t believe he is 40 already) he was 24 and I was 15. And I still see the same man when I look at him. So full of life. So much energy. He is always so optimistic about life. He is never afraid of the next day with the little or nothing he had,” according to Annie.

Here Are Seven Free, Easy and Natural Ways to Ease Your Depression.
Low dopamine levels can lead to lack of motivation, fatigue, addictive behavior, mood swings, memory loss and even depression. Instead of running to a doctor for meds for depression or turning to unhealthy ways (chocolate, anyone) to boost your mood, why not first try to increase your dopamine naturally?
Here are some proven chemical-free ways to raise dopamine in the brain and get you smiling again:
Because you deserve to smile more.
1. Shake it off. Dance, Skip, jump, run, tumble, fly — exert yourself! It doesn’t need to be a big giant workout every day, just do something physical to raise your heart rate for at least one full minute.
2. Laugh out loud. Use the Internet to laugh! There are so many funny things online now (Grumpy Cat?!) Spend a minute each day watching, reading or listening to something funny.
3. Share your story. Join a support group, connect with others, reach out to friends and family and if your depression is really debilitating seek out professional help. Remember: Therapy doesn’t have to suck.
4. Pray and be quiet. Learn how to take five minutes a day to pray and/or meditate. Sit in silence and in gratitude for that time.
5. Eat your lima beans. Also, almonds, apples, avocado, bananas, beets, chocolate, coffee, fava beans, green leafy vegetables, green tea, lima beans, oatmeal, sea vegetables, sesame and pumpkin seeds, turmeric, watermelon, and wheat germ.
6. Breathe better. This may sound strange, but we have actually forgotten how to breathe. When you breathe from your chest and not your diaphragm your body doesn’t operate as well. So take a minute to focus on your breathe and really breathe deeply.
7. Take your vitamins. There are tons of websites and information about different supplements to increase dopamine in the brain. (Always consult a doctor before taking any new supplements!).

Electricity Poles Fall in Lagos (photos)
It is not a strange news that certain areas in the city of Lagos are known as"GHETTO AREA'' whereby the streets including some social amenities are not in good conditions and this make people living in such an area to face so many environmental hazards and also endangering their lives.
Below is a picture of two electricity poles about to fall in certain streets of Lagos.
Two separate poles (seen above) are about to fall and pose great danger to residents in the area. One pole is on Galilee Avenue and the other is on Salau street, not far from the first. Both streets are in Iju Ishaga, Lagos. Can the Electricity company please remove/replace these poles before they fall and injure or kill someone? Thanks.

OUCH! CAN MEN REALLY TELL IF A WOMAN IS FAITHFUL JUST BY DOING THIS?
Men now have yet another advantage over women. As if higher pay and peeing standing up wasn’t enough, now they can supposedly tell if someone will cheat just by looking at her.
A new study published in PLOS-One suggests that by comparing photographs of two unfamiliar women, men are able to tell how faithful a woman was just by looking at her. It turns out that men have some extra spidey-sense that helps them to identify a possible cheater.

No Sex On Set, Actor Gives Reactions To Allegations On "Soft Porn" Movie
Actor Tony Umez Clears The Air On Widespread Misconception
Nollywood actor Tony Umez says it is time and he is back in business following a period of hiatus.
Nollywood actor Tony Umez.
He spoke exclusively to Vanguard saying the younger actors have taken control of the movie industry but he is back to do his thing. He also touched on his alleged absence from the scene.

“But that doesn’t mean, I haven’t done some jobs in recent times. It’s just that I haven’t been as prolific as I used to be in the past. I have been involved in other projects. Nonetheless, I am back in the industry,” he said.
Umez explained that for a seasoned actor who previously had around 13 to 14 movie appearances yearly it would come as surprise were he to stop doing that much movies, hence the question on whether or not he is still active in the industry.
The actor who hit limelight following his appearance in the movie Died Wretched said that wasn’t his first movie role even though it brought him fame.
The Anambra native also explained why he hasn’t appeared in any purely Igbo movie saying he doesn’t speak nor understand the language.

“It’s a long story which I wouldn’t want to talk about now. It’s sad but there is nothing I can do about it. In fact, the little I understand is as a result of my wife. My wife is from Okija.
“I am from Ogidi in Anambra State. I speak English and Efik fluently because my mum comes from Cross River State. I grew up in Lagos and as a result, I speak Yoruba too. I have done some Yoruba movies. I have also done an Efik movie. It is not as if I never had Igbo friends while growing up. But I thank God for His mercies. I have never for once run away from my roots,” he said.
Responding to his role in a supposed ‘soft porn’ movie, 027, he said: “It is something I wouldn’t want to discuss now because there has been a lot of brouhaha about the film. So many misconceptions. I did a movie, and I didn’t see it as soft-porn. Those who are labelling the film as ‘x-rated movie’ have not watched, till the end. They only watched the trailer and concluded that it is soft porn. I read the script, which was written by one of the very best in the industry Dami Joe Efe Young. It was a wonderful script.
“It was a 2-hour movie, but people are focusing on that particular scene which just happened. And it wasn’t as if there was sex on set. Everything was basically make-believe. It was made to look real and people believed it too. I don’t blame them because they have their own opinions while I have mine.
“It wasn’t as if there was sex all through the movie. It was just an aspect of the whole movie,” he said.
He said the criticisms in the wake of the movie affected his wife given the negative press it generated.
However, the actor said his family has moved on ever since.
“I have weathered the storm, and I have moved on as an individual, and my family has moved on too. May be, what it had taught me is to be more circumspect in the things I do,” he said.
Tony Umez is a Nollywood actor who shot to prominence in the 1994 movie Died Wretched: Buried In N2.3m Casket.
He is a graduate of the University of Lagos and holds a masters degree in International Relations and Diplomacy.
