Kunle Afolayan : "I've been diagnosed with hypertension, so I have to relocate from Nigeria'




Sometime in March, prolific Nollywood director Kunle Afolayan took to his Facebook page to express his frustration about Nigeria and his plans to relocate as he could no longer bear the hardship. 
 
Well, it looks like he's made up his mind to really relocate. In a recent interview with Netng, he said he has been diagnosed with hypertension and must relocate. When asked if his relocation would not discourage those who are looking up to him, Kunle said:

"I have been diagnosed with hypertension, so I should stay here and die because I want to impress people? It isn't about people anymore. It is now about me and my health. I have proven that certain things can be done in this country but you have to use blood and sweat. All the projects I have done, I have had to use these two. For me to achieve this, whoever is ready to use blood and sweat too might be able to achieve same feat. But we don't have the same strength. Right now I am overwhelmed in a way and I can function from anywhere. I can go to Hollywood and be lecturing African cinema or go to Gambia and be making film or move to Ghana. I love this country which is why I am still here. I discourage people form traveling abroad but health is wealth. I think it is important that I am in the right frame of mind for health reasons" he said.

He’s wealthy enough to book every table in any restaurant of his choosing if he wants to dine out in private, and judging by the empty chairs surrounding Roman Abramovich on Monday afternoon it looked as if he’d done just that. Indeed, it was quiet enough to hear a rouble drop when as the Russian oligarch enjoyed a lunch date with partner Dasha Zhukova at Puny restaurant during their current stay in picturesque Italian coastal town Portofino. The couple were spotted as they surveyed their menus in silence before a waiter approached and obligingly took their order. Someone's pleased: Roman Abramovich smiles broadly as he relaxes in an empty Portofino restaurant with Dasha Zhukova The good life: Roman sits with a large glass of red wine in front of him on the table while his model girlfriend checks the menu Giving orders: A restaurant employee takes their food orders With a glass of red wine in front of him, Chelsea owner Roman looked relaxed in a short sleeve

Pictures from the Golden Globes 2014 Red Carpet worst Dress

Image
It's one of the biggest social events on the A-list calendar, so the pressure is on for the A-list to shine at the Golden Globes.   And while Margot Robbie, Zooey Deschanel and Anna Gunn lit up the red carpet, leading the best-dressed pack in off-white, not everyone got it quite right. Sandra Bullock,  usually so fashion-forward,   made a rare misstep at this year's event in an unflattering pink, blue and black color block gown and messy side ponytail but, way out in front of the worst-dressed pack, Lady Victoria Hervey wore a dress that made her resemble a reject from an X-rated version of Dancing On Ice. Paula Patton, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence also turned heads for all the wrong reasons. Here FEMAIL round up the best and the very worst fashion of the 71st annual Golden Globes awards. What WAS she thinking? Lady Victoria Hervey goes for the 'sexy' barely there look at the Golden Globes this year but her dress resembles a pair of opaque

With his quick temper and fondness for incendiary hyperbole, Kanye West isn't the first person you think of when it comes to promoting peace, love and understanding.  But it seems that his romantic proposal to Kim Kardashian last Tuesday night is having a knock on effect in the famous family as her sister Khloe has reunited with her estranged husband Lamar Odom. Well, for one night at least... and it was all for the love of Kanye.  The power of Yeezus: Lamar Odom was spotted arriving at Kanye West's Staples Center gig on Monday; his wife Khloe Kardashian and family were inside the venue The 34-year-old NBA star arrived alone to the Staples Center to watch West's gig on Monday night but according to eyewitnesses was soon seated by Khloe, 29, in the VIP area.  What's more, he was seen receiving a hearty embrace from the Kardashians' own Don Corleone - Kris Jenner, 57, - which suggests his welcome back into the 'Family' is official.  'L
