The recent Dana Airways plane crash on June 3rd, left our nation in shock and many are still mourning for the souls that were lost that day. The unfortunate thing is, a lot of people are still in the dark when it comes to what actually happened that day...
Maverick Films went by the crash site 2 days after it happened and got an eye witness account from the people that live in the IJU ISHAGA area, finally allowing some questions to be answered... Please take a look and share with others, so that we as a people know the truth and can find ways to avoid such a tragedy happening again. Directed and Edited by Ruyi Irabor, Featuring Uncle D (Dominic), representing the common man and giving the final account on the incident.
Sometimes i wonder to myself, if a youtube subscriber can pull off a live action version of an anime, what is stopping a whole Hollywood from achieving the same thing? Is it funds? Nowpe! Is it a lack of ideas? Maybe, is it the equipment? Heck No! So...what is it? That my friends is a puzzle i doubt i'll be able to solve. Anyway, here's is a really awesome video i came across online and its a little short focusing on a fight between NARUTO AND ROCK LEE, in a live action fight sequence, with Japanese dialogue( sorry no english subs ). The makers of this 13min short should be proud to have done something Hollywood couldn't do with all the resources they have. Check it out and Enjoy! I definitely did...

Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 is the longest running film franchise of all time and in this 23rd instalment, Daniel Craig is back to play the role of the British Secret Agent.

I remember where i was when i heard that Obama was the new president of the United States of America. I'm still happy for all black people around the world who are proud there is a black man in the white house, even though i'm from Nigeria. However, there are many questions that have been raised about the president, many of which have been left unanswered. The current one being where is Barrack Obama's original birth certificate and is he really from Kenya blah blah. The only reason i'm even bringing this up, is that a lot of people are oblivious of the powers that be in this world, what they stand for and how they use politics as a front for a lot of things behind the curtain. This video, which i am currently watching myself, came to my attention when i was listening to Alex Jones from Info Wars. His words got me thinking and started a quest for truth. Just because i'm in Africa doesn't mean i'm not affected by the decisions some of these people make, same goes for you. Check this video out, as it talks about a lot of things most people aren't really ready to hear. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, other times.... you're just an ostrich with its head in a hole, with a huge truck coming your way....
This is one man i respect to the fullest! Everyone knows no one has put their life on the line for film making more than Jackie Chan. Seriously, if you know someone, please name them,i'm waiting..... I didn't think so, the dude has broken head shoulders knees and toes ( totally took that from the song) and a few ribs in his career and thats just to name a few of the things he's broken. The greatest part of all this, is he is still alive and well. He's a prime example that no matter what happens, you can never go before your time, because when it comes to taking risks, Jackie should have been RIP'd a long time ago, but thank Heavens he is alive to make the decision to retire from BIG Action roles, this doesn't mean he is no longer an active actor, it just means there isn't going to be a Rumble in the Bronx 3, Rush hour 4 or another Police Story. However with movies like the Shinjuku incident, Jackie seems to be playing more dramatic roles as he gets older and is taking a breather when it comes to Martial Arts flicks, a wise decision in my opinion. Here's a video of him at the Cannes film festival in france, talking about his new chinese movie Zodiak, where he is the Director, Writer and Producer. Hats of to a living legend for years of entertainment!
Its been a while since i last updated on here,but the good news is i'm finally working on a project which i cant wait to show you guys! Now thats out of the way, i totally feel Will right here, honestly i would've drop kicked the dude in the lips for trying to bring that homo stuff to my doorstep, not that i have anything against 'The Gays' but don't be trying to grope a dude man! And all this stuff about Will assaulting the dude is just BS, in my opinion, Will was assaulted, sexually... i might add... and rightfully defended himself...i mean the dude has a wife and kids back at home watching this, and not to mention the number of die hard fans out there, so... 'The back hand tap' ( Slap seems a bit much after you watch the video) was a reconfirmation of will's blackness in my opinion. Look at it this way, if he didn't do something about it, the rest of the Gay community would probably consider Will Smith as one of em, which as you can imagine is another pile of Bull faeces considering whats happening with John Travolta. Im in support of the back hand movement against unwarranted male affection, anytime and every time. Will gets a thumbs from me in this one... Boom! i said it...
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu is a True Maverick. Here's a speech he made during the Nigerian-Biafran War. In his passing, we hope more Mavericks like himself will rise, whether from the North, East or South, and work towards a better Nigeria, for we require a new vision to distance ourselves from this status quo of curroption and oppression that we currently face as a people. In order to rise from the ashes of our past,we must create a new path as a nation.
James Cameron, Director of Titanic and Avatar, recently touched down in the mariana trench which is pretty much the bottom of the pacific ocean floor, one of the deepest parts on Earth.

In this video, the Film Director gives a tour of the Sub he uses in his mission and his hopes of setting a new deep dive record, Check it out!

This one is for those who still think Africa is a country, or that we run around with leaves and not clothes, or that we ride beasts of burden and not cars.... Believe it or not, some people have no idea what Africa is like and are oblivious to how advanced some of the countries have become over the passed decade. Leslie Dodson delivers a message through the TED Talks platform and addresses some of the misconceptions people have grown to believe over the years thanks to misrepresentation by the Media.
So far, in regards to music videos in 2012, this is by far the coolest, in my opinion anyway. MIA steps it up both musically and visually in this piece from her Vicki Leekx mixtape.
