America-base teen model, Caroline Ikpea enters Nollywood in a big way

America-base Teen-model, Caroline Ikpea to star as lead in a Nollywood movie / TV series titled “IVANCA” to be Produced by Bigspin Pictures, a subsidiary of Bigspin
Entertainment

Beautiful, young Caroline got the lead role based on The strict requirement of the Production team as they search for a female teenage Cast with the right acting skills, exposure and knowledge of science to easily adapt to the role. As a model, actress and a core science student it wasn’t difficult for the casting crew to narrow their search.

Caroline Ipkea, 17, born to Nigerian parent, hails
from Edo State and spent most of her
early life in Nigeria before traveling to the US to
further her education. Despite being a
science student with dreams of becoming a chemical
engineer Caroline also spares time
following her passion for art as a model, actor and
singer.

Acting Inspiration:
I have been taking Theater courses for three, school years.
Presently, I am mastering
a script for a school play named "Cross fire" in which i play
a role of a man, its quite
challenging but fun. I also assist with stage management
for school plays,Occasionally, i
help actors master their lines and gestures. I am also per-
taking in a play named "Legally
blonde" I was chosen to do few dance steps for a particular
scene in Legally blonde.

Role Models in Industry:
As an actress, singer, model and TV presenter, Omawumi
and Waje are my top Nollywood mentors. I chose them
because they have much significance in the Nollywood industry. They
both stand out as the powerful
women in the Nollywood industry. They haven't only
displayed their talents as wonderful
singers with angelic voices, but have been able to show
their acting skills. Waje recently
shot a movie called "The Tunnel" powerful woman right
there. I really do respect people
who can multitask and come out with wonderful results at
the same time.
Near Future Plans:
In my opinion, the only way forward as an actor and
Science student is having a
positive mind. If you have a positive mindset that you can
do everything, there's no way
it would come out bad. Determination is success, it takes
you places you never thought
you could go. Furthermore, Science and being an actor
makes me happy, its like basically
doing what i love and having fun with it.

THE STRUGGLE OF AN UPCOMING ARTISTE (Way forward)

Because I know what you guys go through to promote your songs and be heard, because I was once a very talented music artiste like you, I once face this same struggle for fame and I feel the pain in your heart when you can’t get that support you so desire from the real people who make things happen... and with my level of exposure and success in the entertainment industry today, am sure I can share one or two key view and possible solutions with you guys.

I was an artiste turn talent manager and promoter. I couldn't make it through due to financial constrains… so I went back to school, get a degree in Business Administration and return to the industry as a major industry player… my passion has been to transform the industry struggle faced by many talented artistes like me… who can’t watch their career and showbiz dream sleep away.

I am now into full media; I run my own label, produce my own movies and TV programs, worked with other major stars, run my own artiste management with 5 good artistes. I decided to run as a major player cause I realize my passion is not all about me. If the race is about me, then I don’t need to work with any artiste. I could just go straight back to the studio and produce my own songs, promote myself to the top and enjoy the stardom. But I think am more comfortable and happier working with talents and watching them grown.

Mourinho picks home loss as surprise season highlight

London (AFP) - Jose Mourinho believes that Chelsea have made progress this season, but his abiding memory will be of the moment he lost his unbeaten home record in the Premier League.

Manchester City's mid-week victory over Aston Villa confirmed that Chelsea will go into their final match of the campaign at Cardiff City on Sunday knowing that their title challenge is over.

It means that Mourinho will finish his first season back at Stamford Bridge empty-handed after his side exited the Champions League at the semi-final stage and fell short in the domestic cups.

The insurgency waged by Boko Haram's leader Abubakar Muhammad Shekau,

Lagos (AFP) - The insurgency waged by Boko Haram's leader Abubakar Muhammad Shekau, who claimed the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls, has grown so ruthless that even former Islamist allies have cut ties.

Born in a village in Nigeria's northeastern Yobe state on the border with Niger, Shekau had a traditional Islamic education in neighbouring Borno state, where Boko Haram was founded more than a decade ago by the cleric Mohammed Yusuf. After meeting Yusuf, Shekau joined his movement made up largely of radical youths who believed that the prevalence of Western education and values were to blame for many of Nigeria's problems, including egregious corruption and crippling poverty.

Boko Haram, which loosely translates as "Western education is forbidden", is a nickname that the Islamists have disowned, referring to themselves as Jama'tu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad (People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's Teachings and Jihad). Awareness and condemnation of Shekau spread across the globe this week after he released a video boasting about the April 14 mass abduction in Chibok, Borno state, in which he threatened to sell the hostages as "slaves".

But for Nigerians, the chilling video was consistent with an Islamist leader who is believed to have masterminded waves of horrific attacks since he took charge of Boko Haram several months after Yusuf was killed by Nigerian police in 2009. "With Shekau at the helm," the International Crisis Group (ICG) said in a report last month, "Boko Haram has grown more ruthless, violent and destructive."

Shekau's extremism is perhaps best highlighted by the decision of Ansaru -- a Boko Haram offshoot which has kidnapped foreigners and published their execution online -- to cut ties. 

Ansaru "distanced itself from the rest of Boko Haram because it disapproved of its indiscriminate killings and Shekau's lack of tact," the ICG report said, citing security sources and people with close ties to both militant groups. There were significant outbursts of violence under Yusuf but the group was nominally committed to spreading sharia (Islamic law) across northern Nigeria, a goal some in the deeply conservative region support. Yusuf's ideology and anti-corruption preachings have been largely buried by Shekau's repeated attacks on defenceless civilians, including mass kidnappings and the slaughter of scores of students in their sleep, analysts say. 

Even before Yusuf's death, Shekau had accused him of "being too soft", according to the ICG, and Shekau signalled the new direction he meant to take Boko Haram roughly a year after taking charge.

Major attacks in Nigeria's capital Abuja in 2012, including a bombing at the United Nations headquarters that killed scores, raised concern that Boko Haram's new leaders had received jihadist training abroad, perhaps in Algeria or Somalia. 

The specific details of those foreign links have been much debated by experts but little has been confirmed.

Since 2011, the Islamists have attacked churches, mosques, politicians, police and the military, among various other targets.The United States has declared Shekau a global terrorist and put a $7 million (5.3 million euros) bounty on his head. 

The US Justice Department lists 1965, 1969 and 1975 as possible years of the birth.

And Shekau's videos have become the primary channel through which the insurgents speak.

At times he makes threats against specific Nigerian targets.At others he seems completely disconnected from current events, threatening world leaders who are dead, like recent warnings against ex-British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, and the late pope John Paul II. 

A quote from one his first video, released in 2012, has been cited by experts as perhaps providing a window into his character."I enjoy killing anyone that God commands me to kill the way I enjoy killing chickens and rams," Shekau said.
