BASKETMOUTH'S UNCENSORED


Basket with Ronke Apkampa

Bright Okpocha, popularly known as BasketMouth will on Sunday 1st of April 2007 host the second edition of his comedy show 'Basket mouth Uncensored'. According to what I'm hearing, Presidential aspirant, Professor Pat Utomi will co-host the show. That will be nice! But we heard the same story at AY Live, where we were told that another Presidential aspirant, Rev Chris Okotie will Co-Mc the show...he didn't show. I hope it won't happen in Basket's case. I would really love to see the funny side of this politicians. Anyway, let's keep our fingers crossed.

Meanwhile the show will attract the highest fee ever charged for a comedy show. A whopping N5, 000. Something tells me the show will be worth the money.

Tuface, Face, Soul E, P.Square are among those expected to perform.

NOLLYWOOD ACTOR ARRESTED WITH COCAINE.
How many of you have heard that another Nigerian actor has been arrested again for cocaine possession? Well, it happened on Friday March 23rd 2007 at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Ikeja while allegedly trying to ferry some kilograms of cocaine into the UK. He was about to board a Virgin Atlantic flight when he was arrested. He excreted the exhibit in his stomach till 9pm at night after which he was detained at the NDLEA cell at the airport and was later transferred to Ikoyi prison where he is expected to face trial.

The actor's name is Uche Oduputa, anyone know him? He appeared in movies like 'Betrayal', 'All For Winnie'.

Couldn't find his picture anywhere but he's quite a known face here in Nigeria.

The Actor's Guild aren't finding the situation funny because airport officials have told them that all actors going through the airport will be thoroughly searched before being allowed to pass. No more celebrity treatment.

A few actors have been caught in the past carrying cocaine to other countries. I'm happy he was caught here and not in a foreign country, Imagine what that will do to our country's already tarnished image. I hope nothing like this happens again.
