From Segun Arinze to Gabriel Afolayan, check out Charles Novia's top 5 actors of 2017. .

1. Bolanle Ninalowo

 

"I had categorised him as a 'medium budget film' actor, which is not bad by itself but sometimes limits an actor's jump to big hit movies but Bolanle shocked me in the movie 'Picture Perfect'.

He was outstanding and almost flawless in the role and showed a depth of research and talent. This is the my Actor of 2017 and he has made that jump! Kudos!."

2. Gabriel Afolayan


"It was a struggle to put him on my Number 2 but...well..he's on the list and could easily have been the top in my list.

Gabriel Afolayan is one of the best actors in his generation and in 2017 in 'King Invincible' and a few other fares on TV and ads, he was outstanding.

I still think he needs one magnum opus to shock us all and it might come soon too. Great actor! Well done, man!."

3. Shawn Faqua

 

"Shawn is on an ascendency. It's clear to see. He has a passion for acting and a propensity for internalising his roles. In 'Ojukokoro', Shawn was excellent as a greedy gangster with a streetwise deadliness.

One could see he enjoyed the role and that amplified his characterisation in the ensemble movie. Thumbs up. "

AFRICA MAGIC'S BATTLEGROUND IS IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN

4. Chike Osebuka

 
"Chike sizzled on the TV screens in 'Battleground' on Africa Magic. I was pleasantly shocked to notice a young man who seemed much on point in his acting, his reactions, his intensity in his role and a great screen presence.

More surprised I was that he is a singer from 'The Voice Nigeria'. If ever there was one I would recommend for a future in Nollywood, this guy will be it. "

5. Segun Arinze

 

"It seemed like a quiet return of Segun to the big screen in 2017 and I watched a couple of movies he featured in. His role in 'Tatu' stood him out.

Painstakingly researched by him and professionally performed in method acting, little wonder he caught the eye of a few critics in this role. There should be more from his inner recesses in 2018, I hope.'

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
