Black

Well i can only define black as the absence of light, opposite of white (in checkers), what white men call Africans.

You can see black in Wande Coal's Black diamond, Black mamba, Black magic. etc.

Black is a very popular colour and it is safe to wear when it comes to cloths and shoes.

When it comes to naija Black is "Witchy Witchy" and black is for mourning, black is moody. Bad things happen when its dark, ranging from "rapery" to robbery and when it is said people of the underworld meet .. I wouldn't know though.

There are also notable events and dates like Black History month, Black Monday, Black Friday, well those that i know of. And movies like: 

Men in Black 

Men in Black II 

Meet Joe Black 

Black Hawk Down 

The Black Dahlia 

Pitch Black 

Black Snake Moan 

Black Christmas 

Black Beauty 

Black Knight

You have an example of Black?

17 HOURS A SLAVE.

Gulder Ultimate Search, Bigger, Better and Back.

Gulder, a leading lager brand from the stables of Nigerian Breweries, is back again with its world-famous physical contest show Gulder Ultimate Search. The longest running ‘100% local-content’ entertainment programme in Nigeria.

At a media gathering, on July 1^st 2014 at the Nigerian Breweries Head Quarters in Lagos, the producers promised another thrilling season of adventure, suspense and drama.

 Gulder Ultimate Search has been a proud advocate of Nigerian tourism, from the rocky landscape of Jos-Shere hills to the wooded forests of Awka Ibom- Usaka Jungle, and will for the first time take place in South East Anambra, in the jungle of Aguleri.

“At Nigerian Breweries, we are always keen to foster our position as an advocate of leadership, determination and greatness which is why we developed the concept of Gulder Ultimate Search.” The Marketing Manager, Gulder, Emmanuel Agu commented.

The show, which premiered in 2004, has so far produced all male winners and many are beginning to wonder if a woman will ever win the coveted title. However, last season’s last woman standing, Ifunaya Onike, felt confident that this year will be it for the women, having come so close herself and making it to the final three.

This will be the 11^th edition of Gulder Ultimate Search, and this year’s crowned champion will walk away with 10 Million Naira, as well as a brand new SUV.

“The Gulder brand will also create opportunities for some other individuals, other than the ‘Ultimate Champion’, to go home with their dreams on wheels. But you have to stay glued to your TV screens to find out more”. Said Marketing Manager, Emmanuel Agu

The suspense and excitement has already begun as guests were treated to an exclusive first viewing of the Call For Entry TVC, which featured two of the previous winners embarking on a mission to find a mysterious item called ‘The Cube’.

Topmost fashion designer, Deola Sagoe who played the role of Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Kehinde Bankole and Nick Phys were also part of the outstanding cast.

October 1 according to Kunle Afolayan is a thought-provoking movie that isn’t solely about entertaining viewers but serves to communicate important national messages. “We want the younger generation to know where we are coming from and the older generation to see if we are moving in the right direction,” adds Mr Afolayan. He went on to thank the cast for doing a fantastic job in delivering this utterly compelling movie.

According to Bolanle Austen-Peters, MD of Terra Kulture “it is exciting to know that the entire film and production was done in Nigeria, with a world class content as seen in October 1, we were proud to partner in promoting it.”

The exclusive private screening of October 1 was well received by guests who were held spell bound in nostalgia as the movie took the audience back to life during colonial Nigeria. Set in September 1960, against the backdrop of the impending national independence, a northern Nigerian police detective, Dan Waziri was urgently dispatched by the colonial government to the western town of Akote to solve a series of female murders that had gripped the local community in fear.

More killings occured as Waziri got into the town, leading to the climatic end where the life of the popular female teacher, Tawa is held in balance. Waziri races to save Tawa, capture the killer and solve the crime before the British flag is lowered and the Nigerian flag raised on Independence Day, October 1.

The movie written by Tunde Babalola and directed by Kunle Afolayan will be premiering in major cinemas across Nigeria soon.
