AMAA launches second coffee book ahead of 20th ceremony

Published

on

The Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) organisers have launched their second coffee table book ahead of the 20th ceremony.

The coffee table book is a hard-covered picture publication that showcases the journey of the prestigious award ceremony over the past two decades.

It is a beautifully crafted compendium of memories, highlighting the award winners and notable moments from each edition of AMAA since its inception.

The unveiling event, held at the Marriott Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, brought together media personalities, film executives, and members of the Anyiam-Osigwe family to celebrate the milestone.

According to Raymond Anyiam-Osigwe, CEO of AMAA, the book is an “iconic” piece that captures the brilliance of African filmmakers and creatives.

“We are not just launching a book but we are celebrating my late sister and founder of AMAA, Peace Marie Ogechi Anyiam-Osigwe, who is no more with us here. The coffee table book has captured all the moments of AMAA in the last 20 years for posterity,” he said.

“The coffee table book showcases Africans brilliance in film as well as diasporans and others for the love of creativity and African film.

“It’s an iconic book that captures memorable times of AMAA and it’s not just a coffee table book but a treasure to hold when African creatives and film practitioners are discussed.”

The book launch, according to Raymond, marks the beginning of the activities scheduled for the award night on November 2.

Guests in attendance included Olayinka Gbajabiamila, Anthony Anih, Charles Otudor, Cornel Udofia, Bond Emeruwa, Bimbo Manuel, Greg Odutayo, and Francis Onwochie,

Kingsley James, Zeb Ejiro, Sunny McDon, Tunde Chado, Angela Lance, Florence Okechukwu, Asiodu Henry, Felix Duke, Queen Blessing Ebigieson, and Bukky Ogunote were also in attendance.

Enlarging your manhood doesn’t increase effectiveness, Sam Adeyemi tells men

Published

on

By

Sam Adeyemi, the senior pastor of the Daystar Christian Center, has offered advice to men with concerns about their “small manhood”.

Addressing his congregation on Sunday, the clergyman emphasised that the physical size of manhood does not determine its effectiveness.

The 57-year-old shared a personal anecdote from his secondary school days, highlighting the absurdity of body comparisons.

Adeyemi also encouraged young men to focus on inner growth, self-acceptance, and meaningful relationships.

“One of the major pressures we have is body image problems. It’s terrible, this comparing of your body with mine. Setting standards on what the body should look like and then you find out you fell short. It is so bad,” he said.

“I went to an all-boys secondary school. I still remember the day some of my classmates, they went somewhere and by the time they came back, we now found out what they went to do. They went with a ruler to go measure their private parts and to compare.

“Nothing destroys self-image more than that. It is nonsense. If you are a young guy, let me encourage you because it is all over the internet now. Are they not there? Everywhere you look, you will see either medicine or one Chinese method of elongating your…

“It is a lie, it is not the length that matters but the effectiveness, the skills and love for the other person. So for God’s sake wait till you get married.

“If it is only one person you are doing it with, there will be no need comparing all over the place. Do not let them kill you.”
