James Bond Producers Set 25th 007 Film for 2019

By
 
The upcoming James Bond film, the 25th in the official 007 canon, does not have a title, director or even a lead actor, but it does have a release date: November 8th, 2019.

Bond producers announced Monday that the follow-up to 2015's Spectre would arrive in approximately 28 months, but most other details – including whether Daniel Craig will portray the British superspy for the fifth time – haven't been revealed.

What's known is that Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the screenwriting duo behind the last six 007 films – The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre – will return for the latest installment.

Although Craig said in the aftermath of Spectre that he "rather break this glass and slash my wrists" than play Bond again, it's been strongly hinted in recent months that the actor will once again portray 007 in the new film; Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Jamie Bell and Tom Hardy were among the actors rumored for the Bond role if Craig did step down.

Earlier this month, the British press reported that Craig's role in Bond 25 was "secured," with producers also keen on reuniting with Oscar-winning "Skyfall" singer Adele for the theme music. The New York Times, citing two sources close to the production team, reported that Craig's return to the 007 is a "done deal."

While Craig is favored to return, it's all but a certainty that director Sam Mendes, who helmed Skyfall and Spectre, won't return to the franchise.

"I'm a storyteller. And at the end of the day, I want to make stories with new characters," Mendes said in May 2016. "It was an incredible adventure, I loved every second of it," Mendes told. But I think it's time for somebody else."

''President Buhari is healthier than 80% of Nigerians'' Chris Ngige

By
Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, says President Buhari is healthier than 80 percent of Nigerians. The Minister  said this about President Buhari when he spoke with journalists in Awka, Anambra State. According to Ngige, the age of President Buhari does not in anyway impede his leadership skills. He drew example from Malayia where he said when the nation was in chaos, they had to bring in 93-year-old, Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad, to lead it as a prime minister. When he was asked to speak on the seeming fatigued persona president Buhari has been noticed to have in recent times, Ngige said “That man (Buhari) you see there is healthier than 80 per cent of Nigerians. I’m a medical doctor; I can tell you authoritatively that he is healthier than most people who see his health as an issue. He sits for over eight hours during our executive meetings. While some of us would be going for tea break to stretch our legs, Mr President...

Contrary to the summer vibe, which is a perfect excuse to travel and shop outside the country, we are doing something different this year. We are packing our bags and travelling around Nigeria, ticking off our shopping bucket list our country’s most treasured traditional fashion finds. Not sure where to start? Maki Oh Adire.

Adire is the most commercialised of our traditional dyeing and weaving techniques, with Adire prints popping up everywhere from Orange Culture to Maki Oh. But their Adire prints don’t hold a candle to the authenticity of the Adire motifs in the gallery’s fabric archives. It is the storied material worth investing in.
