"I know why actors are dying in Nollywood" - Prophet Chris Okafor

Prophet Chris

Prophet Chris Okafor is the General Overseer of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry. Below is what he told an Encomium magazine reporter about the recent deaths in Nollywood

"This year I gave a prophecy concerning the entertainment industry that there is going to be series of death, and they never asked me for a solution. One problem is that they like to go to churches where they do paparazzi and the rest. They don't want to come to the truth and that is why they are dying this way. If they come to me, I will tell them the mystery why people are dying in Nollywood just like I've been able to tell Nigerians why electricity can't be stable in Nigeria. I know why they are dying. Let them come to me"

Usher, Bieber sued for copyright encroachment over ‘Somebody To Love’

Usher and Bieber

The international R&B singers, Usher, Justin Bieber and song co-producers have been sued for $10 million for allegedly copying their hit song, "Somebody to Love." Devin Copeland, who performs under the name "De Rico", is a writer and singer in Chesapeake, Va. He and a collaborator, Mareio Overton, of Portsmouth, Va., clam they composed and produced an original music composition titled, "Somebody to Love" in 2008. In March 2008, Copeland claims he recorded the song on his album "My Story II" and was issued a copyright registration number by the U.S. Copyright Office on Oct. 2, 2008.

 That year, Justin Bieber, then 13, was discovered by music manager Scooter Braun through YouTube videos. Braun formed a partnership with Usher, Raymond Braun Media Group, and the performer agreed to mentor Bieber, who was signed as the company's first performer.

Publicists for Usher and Bieber did not respond to requests for comment.
They are suing for at least $10 million in for copyright infringement, contributory infringement, and vicarious infringement.

In 2009, Copeland met musical talent scouts who in turn provided copies of their music to recording companies, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on May 2.
Copeland's suit claims the scouts also provided a copy to Usher Raymond IV, known as Usher.
