Popular Nigerian actor Uzee Usman recently shared a heartfelt message criticizing the selfishness and lack of genuine concern among people. He expressed that many individuals are so self-centered that they are indifferent to others’ suffering. According to Usman, during tough times, one often suffers alone while others only pretend to care. He challenged the authenticity of such concern, asking his followers if they truly care about others.

Usman wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “In the end, nobody cares. Whatever you’re going through, you’re on your own. If you talk to someone, they exploit your problems. If you don’t, you suffer in silence. People pretend to care, but they really don’t. Do you?”

In other news, Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has criticized Nigeria’s recent changes to its electricity pricing scheme, calling them unfair and “daylight theft.” On July 9, 2024, Henshaw posted on X, condemning the frequent tariff increases and the separation of customers into different power supply bands. She argued that everyone should have fair access to electricity and pay reasonable rates. Henshaw’s comments were in response to journalist Olive Modi’s remarks about Nigeria’s poor power supply and the challenges faced by consumers. Many X users supported Henshaw’s stance, sharing their frustrations with the current electricity situation.

Also, American singer and actress Selena Gomez has publicly expressed her admiration for Rema. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gomez stated, “I am completely impressed with Rema as an artist.

I believe the future for him is truly endless in what he can achieve. I was a fan of the song [‘Calm Down’] even before I jumped onto the remix. What stands out for me is how the song continued to grow even a year after it was first released.”

Renowned filmmaker Neill Blomkamp, celebrated for his work on “District 9,” is set to direct a new adaptation of “Starship Troopers” for Sony’s Columbia Pictures. This upcoming film will revisit Robert A. Heinlein’s 1959 science fiction novel, distinguishing itself from the 1997 satirical movie directed by Paul Verhoeven.

The 1997 “Starship Troopers” film offered a satirical take on Heinlein’s novel, critiquing fascism and militarism. In contrast, Blomkamp’s adaptation aims to remain more faithful to the original text, exploring themes of citizenship, duty, and the complexities of a militarized society.

Joining Blomkamp in this endeavour is his wife and collaborator, Terri Tatchell, who will co-write the screenplay. The duo previously earned acclaim for their work on “District 9,” which received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Blomkamp’s filmography, including titles like “Elysium” and “Chappie,” is known for blending science fiction with socio-political commentary. This background suggests that the new “Starship Troopers” adaptation will delve into the novel’s intricate themes while delivering the director’s signature visual storytelling.

Deji Adeyanju, the lawyer representing social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has dismissed gospel singer Mercy Chinwo’s defamation suit against his client as “a complete joke.”

A Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 6, Abuja, recently issued a bench warrant for VeryDarkMan’s arrest on March 13, 2025, after he failed to appear in court over allegations of defaming Chinwo. The summons was initially issued on March 5, 2025.

Chinwo has also filed a lawsuit at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, demanding N1.1 billion in damages. The lawsuit stems from allegations that VeryDarkMan made defamatory statements on social media, accusing Chinwo of being involved in a contract dispute and the mismanagement of $345,000 tied to her former record label boss, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu (Eezee Tee).

Speaking in an interview with AIT, Adeyanju brushed off the lawsuit, questioning the basis for such a huge claim. “Pay N1.1 billion for what? Over what? This isn’t a court of law, so I won’t discuss our strategy here. We have no comment — it’s nothing serious, just a joke,” he said.

Meanwhile, VeryDarkMan, who is currently outside the country, has challenged security agencies to arrest him at the airport when he returns to Nigeria. He confidently stated that he was no stranger to being arrested.
