Nollywood filmmakers cast actors based on social media followers – Uzor Arukwe Popular Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe says there was a time when social media following was one of the prerequisites for thespians to get movie roles from some producers in the Nigerian movie industry. He said filmmakers cast actors based on social media followers rather than talent. The ‘A Tribe Called Judah’ star admitted that it was a “big” challenge for him during his days as a struggling thespian. “I remember all so clearly when I started. It was a big problem for me,” the 40-year-old actor told Pulse in a recent interview. “There was a time in this industry when it was mostly about Instagram and Twitter followers, and stuff like that. I didn’t understand it but knew it was something I had to be at peace with, because a production house wants to hire you and they’re looking at your numbers. ‘But can he act?’ That is the question I always ask. But there are some people who are blessed who are fantastic act

 London man Jade Charles jailed five years for illegal firearm possession


London man, Jade Charles, 35 has been sentenced to five years in prison for being in possession of illegal firearm during the Notting Hill Carnival.

Teamwork from Met and City of London Police officers at last year’s Notting Hill Carnival led to them seizing a firearm in a bum-bag.

Charles of Saltram Crescent W9, appeared at Southwark Crown Court in September 2023, where he pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition.

He was sentenced at the same on Friday, 19 April.

Detective Constable Andrew Payne, the investigating officer from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said the loaded firearm in Charles’ possession put innocent members of the public at risk on what is known as ‘Children’s Day’ at Carnival.

Payne said its recovery had no doubt prevented it from being used to commit violent offences on the streets.

The police reports that on 27 August, 2023 officers working on the security operation observed a man via CCTV in Ashmore Road W9 and, peculiarly, noticed he had left a bum-bag at the location.

They said officers from the City of London Police were deployed and they found a Glock pistol with ammunition in the bag, adding that after identifying Charles as the owner he was arrested nearby and taken into custody.

DC Payne added this was an excellent example of officers painstakingly viewing live images looking for things that are suspicious and reading body language, saying that in this case it has led to lives potentially being saved.
