Lion Heart Movie Has Been Disqualified From The Oscar Award

Popular Nollywood Actor, Producer and Director, Genevieve Nnaji's movie, The Lion Heart has been disqualified from the Oscar's Best International Feature Film Category.

According to the academy, Lion Heart movie was disqualified because it's mostly in English, which violates their Best international feature film rule. 

The criteria for best international feature film states that it awards films made outside the united states with a predominantly non English dialogue.

This has stirred an uproar on social media, as several fans and media enthusiast respond to this act as discriminatory against the Nigerian movie.

In Genevieve Nnaji's respond to the act, she said:

"2/2 It’s no different to how French connects communities in former French colonies. We did not choose who colonized us. As ever, this film and many like it, is proudly Nigerian. @TheAcademy"

Ava Marie Duvernay, an American filmmaker and distributor has also shared her views against the act :

"To @TheAcademy, You disqualified Nigeria’s first-ever submission for Best International Feature because its in English. But English is the official language of Nigeria. Are you barring this country from ever competing for an Oscar in its official language?" 

Despite the support of many media enthusiast against the act by the Academy, many fans of Lion Heart movie have also shared their thoughts in agreement with the academy. 

@gimbakakanda said:

"Although the debate about language criteria for Oscars is long overdue, Lion Heart never stood any of being selected at all. It’s a laudable effort, and personally I love its humanizing of northerners, but this attempt to project it as an Oscar-worthy production is overstretching."

Twitter user @tboywonder in agreement with the act by the academy also stated:

"Is it that those who submitted Lionheart as an entry to the Oscar didn't read the rules or, or they just tried to beat the system by being fraudulent?

The rule is the rule. This is not a Nigerian base award where we could bend the rules.

Take a grid."

Do you agree with the disqualification of Lion Heart movie by the Academy?

Anyway, despite the disqualification of Lion Heart movie, it still remains the best Nigerian movie produced.

Holy Spirit Was In Charge Of Weed Deliverance - Rev Obofour Tells Police.

The founder and leader of Anointed Palace Chapel, Rev Francis Antwi popularly known as Rev Obofour has been arrested after a video of him circulated online on 31st October 2019, instructing a young man identified as Razak, to smoke in church on live television.

In other to free the young man from his weed habit or evil spirit during a service at Prophet Abruku Abruka's church, he ordered him to smoke the substance live and stated clearly that he didn't care about the implications of his act.

Weed is a narcotic drug in Ghana, which simply means the usage of the drug is banned in Ghana without license from Ministry of health.

Speaking to the Accra regional police command, Obofour claimed he was in a spiritual realm and didn't see the young man smoking weed in church. 

It was the holy spirit that told the young man to smoke - he said.

The young man in question, in a video circulating online has also revealed that it was a publicity stunt.

He claim, he was hired by Rev Obofour to bring wee prior to the Church programme and follow all instructions to receive a fee.

Rev Obofour has however refuted Razak claims and stated he has never paid anyone to act or lie for him to receive praises.

Kwadwo Sheldon In Hot Soup As Twitter Fans Troll At Him.

Bernard Kwadwo Amoafo, popularly known as Kwadwo Sheldon, is a content developer, brand influencer, and often refer to himself as a digital entertainer.

As a young entertainer with 71.3k followers on Twitter, he is loved by many people due to his funny posts and memes.

Unfortunately for him, some twitter fans decided to dig into his old posts about Ghanaian rapper  Sarkodie, who recently won B.ET Award for the Best International flow category 2019.

What they discovered, got him trending for almost 9 hours on Twitter.

Kwadwo Sheldon was against Sarkodie and kept criticizing him in the past.

In some of his old tweets, he said: 

"Sarkodie is like NDC communicators. Try move to them with legit argument and they start insulting your parents."

"The Kaba punch dier e go me but the rest all be borlar. The usual sarkodie."

"Sarkodie be fake woke pass"

According to twitter fans, he was very much against the Sark brand and anytime people had an online banter with him, he ended up blocking them.

Twitter fans further disclosed that, Kwadwo Sheldon a.k.a Content Nyame is not a real guy, and only started praising sarkodie after the award winning rapper retweet one of his works and endorsed him.

Today, most of his posts are  supportive of  Sarkodie and against fellow dancehall artist Shatawale and his fanbase.

In a tweet about sarkodie he said:

He was recently spotted at Sarkodie's This Is Tema music festival which featured popular Artist such as Stonebwoy,Edem, Medikal,Kwesi Arthur, kuami Eugene and many more.

Speaking to VolumeGh, fans hinted on the fact that he even requested to be the MC of This Is Tema Music Festival from Sarkodie but the rapper of the decade already had an MC appointed.

Is Kwadwo Sheldon a real sarkodie fan or is he trying to use his head to secure a three square meal?

We leave that in your hands to judge.

Anyway before we draw into conclusion checkout some of the comments made by fans against Kwadwo Sheldon.

Sark Fan Shows Love To Shatta Fan Despite Rival Between Them.

Its quite difficult to see two rival fans of Ghanaian artiste accede to a fact, or moreover lean a helping hand in terms of crisis, which shouldn't be the case.

Earlier today, VolumeGh was prompted with this tweet circulating online. 

A Shattawale fan tweeted,that he was in need of help in other to purchase a new laptop, to start his graphic design work and surprisingly, his tweet was replied by a Sarkodie fan instead who was willing to help.

The supposed sarkodie fan by name Kelvin Sarfo replied his tweet enquiring about the amount he needed.

This however, surprised the Shatawale fan who was touched with the immense love showed him by his rival.

We are all humans and despite our indifferences, love must always lead. 

Our choices shouldn't affect our reasoning. 

Why should we rain insults on another brother just because we don't agree on one thing. 

I, on the other hand don't see why fan base of these Ghanaian artist, can't see eye to eye despite the fact that we are all humans.

For Ghana music industry to progress, our  artist  and their fan base must stop the online banter, and rather focus on joining forces to put Ghana music on the map.

We often see fan base of artiste, throwing jabs at each other all in the name of claiming who is best on social media and many more.

I don't see the need of Ghanaian artiste competing against each other in the industry, when the real competition is out there.

Nigeria music was greatly influenced by Ghana music but today we can't compare our industry to that of our neighbouring brothers.

Why is that so?

This is all as a result of lack of unity among Ghanaian artist. 

If Ghanaian artist unite,drop their indifferences and start working together, our industry could reach it's peak on the international frontier, which thereby brings more revenue back into our industry and much recognition.  

I hope this kind gesture by Kelvin, makes a mark for others to follow.

Whether sarkodie fan,Shatawale fan, or Stonebwoy fan, we are all humans.

Shattawale Is Set To Unveil His New Baby Boy Today.

Ghanaian self acclaimed dancehall king Shattawale, after his wife's divorce and left with his son Majesty, is set to unveil his new baby boy to the world.

Questions arise, as to who could be the mother of this new baby boy.

Could it be Efia Odor?, as the two have been spotted in a video trending online. 

Despite the arrival of this new baby, none of our fingers have been pointed at his old time lover and baby Mama Shatta Michy, due to their breakup and everything that transpired after that.

Anyway if the two finally reconciled and started having an affair in secrecy, then the cat is finally out of the bag now. 

Perhaps, Majesty is waiting for his junior brother in labour ward by now.

In a post on Twitter yesterday shattawale said: 

Am in the labour ward now, by tomorrow everyone will hear my baby cry by God's grace. #wonderboy.

I decided to dig a little bit further and get to know this new baby boy and guess what  I found out.....

If you are thinking about his mother's name, his complexion, it's a big NO.

The new baby boy in question is none other than the Reign Concert official launch of the Wonder boy Album, which is happening today inside the fantasy dome at Accra exactly 7pm sharp.

Shattawale, in no doubt is about to set another record again.

 In 2016, he became the first Ghanaian artiste to pull over 60,000 fans to a Musical show after the Storm Album Launch.

In 2018, he again made history by filling the 20,000 capacitated Fantasy Dome with over 50,000 fans. 

The world is about to witness the African Eagle and Global icon excellent performance. 

Artists performing live today are Becca, Kuami Eugene, Tinny, Chris Waddle,Jupiter, Medikal, Kofi Kinataa, Fameye,Fantana,Kidi, J-Derobie, Wendy Shay and many more.

Anyway I won't be  surprised to see the BHIM Nation boss Stonebwoy  live to make this day a memorable one.

After the  peace conference, the two legends of their genre have been living in harmony ever since.

We all saw Stoneboy's wishes on Shatawale's birthday as well.

The only reason Stonebwoy wouldn't make it to such a big event is due to his predicament as of  now which made him cancel his Toronto and Edmonton tour.

In a video circulating online, he said he slipped on a staircase after the studio which got his right knee injured. 

He is on a flight to Europe to seek medical attention now.

He said :

“It’s with a sad heart that I have to announce to you that I am not going to be able to come to Toronto and Edmonton for the short tour we embarked on a week ago.Everything was going very nice until after studio yesterday where I slipped on the staircase and I hit my knee. You guys know I have a prosthesis in my right leg. I am in a lot of pain and I have to seek immediate medical attention”, Stonebwoy revealed.

Stonebwoy is a Ghanaian dancehall and reggae artist who some years ago, had knee surgery to fix an anomaly that left him limping for many years.

VolumeGh wishes him  speedily recovery.
