Recall 'Lizzy' The Drug Addicted? See Transformation after dropping Drugs Lifestyle
Pastor Tony Rapu Shares New Photos Of Former Drug Addicted Lizzy

Pastor Tony Rapu has shared new photos of rehabilitated Lizzy, the former drug addict whose story went viral few months ago.

Recall that Lizzy's story caught the attention of Nigerians, after it was disclosed that she rescued off the street by popular pastor and social reformer, Tony Rapu.

Lizzy was said to be addicted to a series of hard substances, and was rescued from the streets after a long period of living in the slums and getting high on several substances.



In the video, Lizzy revealed she was introduced to substance abuse by a former boyfriend who used to spike her weed with crack. She stated that initially she didn't know at first but later got addicted to it.

However ahead of the Father's day celebration, Pastor Tony Rapu who shared new photos of rehabilitated Lizzy, stated that it is dedicated to the former drug addict who turned 26 in February.




He wrote;
Father's Day 2019 is dedicated to my spiritual daughter Lizzy who turned 26 in February.

Even though God is 'Father', many do not have a positive association with that word because they were raised in dysfunctional homes. For them, 'father' triggers painful memories.

So this Father's Day, let's be sensitive to those from difficult and painful backgrounds. Many still yearn for positive memories such as running to greet their dad when he returns home from work. This never happened. Some yearn for the father-daughter dance at their wedding. This may never happen with their natural fathers.

Today, let's reach out in compassion to the physical and spiritual needs of the fatherless, the neglected, abused and abandoned. Let's cultivate a sensitivity and compassion for children around us who grapple with instability at home. Let's cherish especially those women who never experienced a father's affection, by treating them with genuine love and dignity.

Look out for the Father's Day series of 4 videos that capture Lizzy's progress.

FilmOne and Empire Management to collaborate on the inspiring film, "Greenland"

Posted: 16 Jun 2019 02:30 AM PDT

FilmOne and Empire Management to collaborate on the inspiring film, "Greenland"
FilmOne Distribution & Production in collaboration with Empire Management is set to produce their first original story, entitled "Greenland". This marks the first time that FilmOne has taken an original story idea through the scriptwriting process and into production.

"Greenland" is a coming-of-age story, inspired by true-life events. The narrative follows the journey of 'Tunji', a 21-year-old from the slums of Ogun state, Nigeria, as he attempts to change his destiny. Tunji has always dreamt of breaking free from his everyday reality - family woes, poverty and the death of his only sister – but his only escape is his passion for football. A series of impulsive decisions takes him on an unforgettable journey that ultimately shapes him and those around him.

According to Toyosi Oyetunji, a director at Empire Management, the story is very close to his heart. "Sports is sometimes used as a guise to perpetrate human trafficking, instead of encouraging young people to hone their talents and make a living from them. At Empire Management, we could not think of a better partner for this project than FilmOne. They have proven that stories from Nigeria can inspire everyone and they understand the importance of world-class production values."

Known for producing some of Nigeria's most successful films, including The Wedding Party, The Wedding Party 2, My Wife & I, New Money and Moms At War, FilmOne will be producing its third feature this year and its first in collaboration with Empire Management. This will be Empire's first foray into cinema, after success in television, music videos and commercials.

A joint statement from Kene Okwuosa, Chief Executive Officer of FilmHouse Group, and Moses Babatope, Managing Director at FilmOne Distribution & Production, conveys their excitement about the effect the film will have on young audiences. "We decided to get involved in this project because of our passion to inspire the younger generation to believe in themselves and to believe that dreams come true for those who are determined to overcome the challenges along the way. We expect Greenland to inspire, educate and entertain – that's our goal in filmmaking," they said.

Award-winning director Kenneth Gyang, best known for Confusion Na Wa, The Lost Café and the upcoming Òlòtūré, is attached to the project and production is scheduled to commence in July 2019.

Naira Marley was arrested on Friday, May 10, 2019, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) together with Zlatan Ibile, Rahman Jago, Guccy Branch and one other person.

Following their arrest, the EFCC paraded them over their alleged involvement in cyber crimes. But few days later, Zlatan Ibile and others were freed, while Naira Marley remained in the EFCC's custody.
