“THE TALE OF ZOZO” Launches On New York’s Times Square Billboard

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 02:00 AM PDT

Kimsa Integrated Services LLC, the makers of Kingsley Ukaegbu films has produced a new movie titled 'The Tale of Zozo'.

The new movie which is currently launched on New York's popular Times Square Billboard narrates the true life story of a young lady whose mother lost her life as a result of early marriage and sexual abuse.

The movie features some of Nollywood's A-list actors; Clem Ohaneze, Yvonne Jegede, Halima Namakula amongst others.

Mr Kingsley Ukaegbu, the producer of the movie while describing the effect of rape which is one of the major messages in the movie, said: "The pain and emotional torture attached to rape is one that is unexplainable. It lives with the victim for life. It makes some people vulnerable and more aggressive towards others or the children they have out of such misfortunes. It affects and destroy self-confidence and affect the psychology of some girls".

Narrating the excerpt of the story, "Zozo grew up in an unstable home where her mother had to go through some challenges including constant sexual abuse from her father.

"ZOZO's mother eventually died of an incurable disease which she contracted as a result of going into prostitution. ZOZO's father on hearing the sad news of his wife's death got drunk and was involved in an accident that took his life as well. The grandfather who convinced her mother into the marriage also became mentality unstable.

"This is how ZOZO eventually became an orphan who is now left to take care of her siblings. The singular act of the grandfather, has resulted to the misfortune of ZOZO and her siblings. Zozo's mother had a sad ending despite the crudeness and psychological trauma she experienced from the abused relationship.

"The story is to save a home, save a child, and put an end to child abuse, rape and create a free life everyone desire", he added.

The Tale of ZOZO is currently on Amazon Prime Video and hitting Netflix soon. The movie is been distributed globally by Aflik Tv, one of the biggest distributors of African movies/ African inspired contents.

Johnny Depp Denied Appeal In ‘Wife Beater’ Libel Case

Posted: 27 Mar 2021 01:30 AM PDT

Hollywood actor, Johnny Depp's appeal to overturn a damning high court ruling which backed a report that he assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard and left her in fear for her life, has been struck out.

The actor was denied an appeal in his U.K. libel case against The Sun publisher, News Group Newspapers, after he sought to overturn the 2020 ruling of the tabloid accurately calling him a "wife beater."

After a highly publicized three-week trial in 2020, Justice Nicol ruled that the label was "substantially true" regarding his relationship with ex-wife Amber Heard.

The actor asked the court of appeal to grant permission for him to challenge the ruling, with the aim of having its findings overturned and a retrial ordered. Part of Depp's argument relied on further evidence that Heard had not yet given away most of the $7m (£5.1m) she received in her divorce settlement, which she had said she was donating to charity.

However following a hearing last week, the court on Thursday March 25 refused Depp's permission to appeal. Lord Justice Underhill and Lord Justice Dingemans emphasised that an appeal against the trial judge's decision on questions of disputed fact faced serious difficulties.

Lord Justice Underhill said;

"We do not accept that there is any ground for believing that the judge may have been influenced by any such general perception as Mr Caldecott relies on.

"In the first place, he does not refer to her charitable donation at all in the context of his central findings.

"On the contrary, he only mentions it in a very particular context … and after he had already reached his conclusions in relation to the 14 incidents.

"We refuse Mr Depp's application to admit further evidence in support of his proposed appeal and we conclude that the appeal has no real prospect of success and that there is no other compelling reason for it to be heard. We accordingly refuse permission to appeal."

The UK judgement came ahead of his $50 million defamation suit against Heard in the United States, set to begin on April 11, 2022. The actress herself is pursuing a $100 million countersuit.
