Channelling Africa in the Western World

There are increasing numbers of African channels airing on Sky these days; as happy as i am for this continent of innovative, talented and artistic people to have an outlet for their gift, i find most of the channels to be less than first-rate.  So when i came across a new African TV channel called OH TV i was of the believe that it will be yet another average quality channel that plods along with programmes that are not well thought out until the new car smell wears off and the appeal and ratings fall. 

On this occasion i was happy to be wrong. After spending some time watching the channel and doing some research, i found OH TV seems to have a clear and well thought out vision of what they want to portray. They are not only airing in the UK but also in America as “OH USA” and has announced its entry into China via 3G mobile. 

One of the reasons i was so impressed with the channel was the soon to premiere movie “THE MIRROR BOY” which was created by OH Films in collaboration with The Nollywood Factory.  Starring Genevieve Nnaji, this movie spans over two continents (from the UK to The Gambia) and tells the story of a 12 year old boy Tijani and his journey from London to Gambia and subsequently the difficulties he faces on his first few days in Gambia

The preview of this movie promises an enjoyable and exciting movie. With twists and turns that will keep us entertained throughout.Preview TheMirrorBoy here.

If you are interested in going to the movie premiere you can purchase tickets at from http://www.themirrorboythemovie.com. For those that don't make the premiere, yours truelly is hoping to be attending and i will be posting my review of the movie on here. Don't know about you but i'm looking forward to it. 

Months of Bloggers BLOCK

It has been months since i posted a blog, i thought i had better explained myself. I have for a long time had Bloggers/writers block, i have not had any ideas on topics to write about. Not even one single narration of my life in the past few months.

I felt like i was not only letting myself down but also letting down all those around me. After months of self deprecation, i decided i was going to make myself get out of this funk. No longer waiting for the fog to lift miraculously, if it was going to happen i was going to have to do it myself. And that's when it came to me.

(LIGHT BULB MOMENT) Why don't i write about having writers block. Not just my inability to write something insightful but also the several topics and ideas i think are boring. i figured if i can share what i going through right now. I might be able to effect a change in my circumstances, so here goes nothing, I'll write once a week about anything and everything; if my writings for the next few weeks interests anybody then please enjoy the read, right now i have nothing to lose.
