A SYNAGOGUE, MOSQUE AND CHURCH BEING BUILT TOGETHER

Tri-Faith Initiative, a partnership of Christians, Jews and Muslims that aims to foster greater interfaith relations is kicking off a multimillion-dollar effort to bring the three Abrahamic religions onto a single 35-acre campus.

"We thought, let's intentionally choose our neighbors," says Vic Gutman, a spokesman for the Tri-Faith Initiative, which launched five years ago as a grassroots interfaith effort and quickly gained funding and community support among the city's religious leaders. "We want to form a relationship between all Jews, all Muslims and all Christians."

The group, which announced this week that each religious group had closed on land purchase deals for the interfaith campus that total $5 million, will also build a Tri-Faith Center that will have educational and social facilities for use by all the campus' religious groups.*

HOW TO MAKE MONEY PLAYING VIDEO GAMES

Creative businessmen in some parts of Asia have found a way to make a living on their obsession with gaming, globalpost said.

In China and Vietnam, these creative businessmen created companies which employed real-life laborers in ever growing numbers to sit at computers and mine for digital gold in popular multiplayer online games like ‘World of Warcraft.’

The companies then sell the gold they’ve mined to Western players in transaction done over paypal.

Once a player has paid the real money, he then gets to take the gold from a character in the game.

Many serious gamers would rather pay to get the gold than spend long hours trying to accumulate enough digital currency to pay for it, very much like getting a reward after vanquishing an endless parade of foes.

But the game’s designer, the Blizzard Corporation, said this business of farming for digital gold could ruin all the fun and drive players away.

For their 2012 blockbuster release, Blizzard would launch a new strategy.

They've created a venue in the game that would sell weapons and gear for real money, expanding the market for gold farmers in the developing world, but at the same time, they’re going to get a ‘normal’ commission from the sale of the new items.

The release date is not set yet and the filming locations are being kept under wraps.

BETWEEN JIBOLA DABO AND MUNA OBIEKWE

They are two famous acts in the movie world,Jibola Dabo is a veteran actor while Muna Obiekwe is a very young and handsome actor.

The story about the duo is their gay role in a Nigerian s*x movie titled “Men in Love” which has left their personalities very questionable.

It shook a lot of fans to see these two performing obscene roles between themselves in the movie where they allegedly had s*x uncountable times,baring their butts with G-string panties they wore to the full glare of viewers,leaving the rest of the parts better imagined.

What many critics frowned at is not just the role but why a man of such caliber like Jibola should indulge in such act and what moral lesson is he portraying.

The veteran actor who is a popular face in most of the award winning soaps in Nigeria is still single,though he has a failed marriage,but for the younger actor,Muna Obiekwe,one is not surprised to see him play such role and this is because until now,his acting career had suffered a major setback and he needed a role that will not only fetch him a good money but will also keep him in the news and make him relevant again on the scene hence his controversial gay role in the s*x movie which he unabashedly flaunted his naked body with his genitals partially covered in G string panties.

The actor,who had fallen on bad times basically because he was no longer getting major roles and also the fact that he was based in East,reportedly acquired a house after his role in the movie and has since become the hottest of producers who want to make s*x movies.

He also displayed such act in the movie Dirty Secret with so many male acts including Jibola but the scenes weren’t as revealing as it is in the other movie hence not much fuss was made about it.The movies seem to be the most controversial movies of the year as they have generated a lot of negative comments and criticisms on different social sites.

To show their reconciliation both featured together in a yet to be released movie recently in Ikorodu.

Also featuring in the movie is another well celebrated female musician QueenSalawa Abeni who was accompanied to the movie location by her bold and beautiful daughter,Okikiola,the university of Ilorin graduate, who she had for General Kollington Ayinla.

The said movie which title is yet to be known has one of the Ray Eyiwunmi brothers, Muka Ray Eyiwunmi,as the producer.

It was Muka Ray that brought the three super stars together in his movie that was shot in choice areas of Lagos. In the said movie all the musicians not only sang in it but also acted and all worked under the same music promoter,the character which was played by Wale Sanusi.

The movie features other acts like Iyabo Ojo,Odunlade Adekola,Adekola Tijani,Olaniyi Afonja,Afeez Oyetoro otherwise known as Saka, Ebun Oloyede otherwise known as Olaiya Igwe among others.

D'BANJ TO MARRY NEXT YEAR DUE TO PRESSURE FROM MUM

Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo, who many people know as D’Banj, has since his break into the Nigerian music scene in 2005, managed to live a scandal free life.

Not many believed that he would go this far in the razzmatazz world especially with his introduction of the word, Koko, which many have given many meanings to, without leaving a life full of scandals and many girls coming up to him with contours ranging from one to nine metres above the sea level around the stomach area, like his master in the game.

To the disappointment of critics, there has not been any case of a lady getting the contours via Bluetooth from the Kokomaster himself, even though he is swamped around them like ants do to sugar.

The only time he was romantically linked to a lady was with Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji, who featured in his Fall in love video. Many saw that as just a publicity stunt to sell the video and nothing more than that.

But if information flinging into NigeriaFilms.Com’s ears by a bird in the know is anything to go by, then the CEO of Koko lounge, Koko water and mobile phones, Oladapo Banjo, will finally tied the knot next year.

According to what we were hinted by a reliable source close to D’Banj, there have been pressure from D’Banj’s mum to bring home a responsible lady as wife.

“Her mum has tried talking to D’Banj to quickly settle down. This issue arose from the point where his son was romantically linked with Genevieve, which she was not happy about.

“D’Banj’s mum wants his son to continue to live a responsible and scandal free life, and as it is, he might marry a lady from Winners Chapel. That is where her mum really wants him to take his wife from,” the source said.

Though the G.O.O.D Music Artiste had opted to concentrate on his musical career, but as it is now, he may have succumbed to his mother’s pressure to marry and might take the bold step of walking to the aisle anytime next year.

Though we tried to know if D’Banj has finally gotten the lucky lady in Winners Chapel to marry, but our informant refused to disclose that to us. D’Banj will be 32 by June next year.

50 CENT TO DONATE PROCEEDS FROM HEADPHONE SALES TO FEEDING AMERICA CHARITY

Fiddy plans to use some of the profits from his SMS Audio sales for charity.

With his Street King initiative aimed towards helping to stop world hunger, 50 Cent is extending his philanthropic venture to his SMS Audio headphones. During an interview with MTV News, Fiddy revealed that he will donate some of the proceeds from sales of his SMS Audio headphones to Feeding America.

“Because of my Street King initiative, with every purchase there's a meal being provided through the United Nations World Food Programme," he said. "And with this actual project, I decided I wanted to do something here in America. So for every pair of these headsets that are sold domestically and online through SMSAudio.com, 250 meals will be provided by Feeding America, which is our leading charitable organization against hunger." 

Fif explained his intention to use entrepreneurial ventures as a way to assist those in need and break from the typical business cycle.

“I think business is the answer for finding finances for situations that have been unanswered and untouched," 50 continued. "If young entrepreneurs follow in my footsteps, with having a charitable business model that actually gives back, then you don't have people standing at Occupy Wall Street, because they're aware that the major corporations are conscious of them.
