Van Vicker Captures Nollywood?
Ramsey Nuoah’s look alike, Van Vicker is currently the rave of the moment in Nollywood as the very handsome Ghanaian super actor has almost taken over the interest of movie makers and lovers in Nigeria.
It was gathered that most movie marketers cannot do without the Ghanian actor who is said to be currently the most busy actor in Nollywood.
Apart from the movie makers and marketers, Nollywood actresses are said to be after the handsome actor as they go extra miles to catch his attention. It was gathered that even though the Ghanaian actor is too busy interpreting roles without paying too much attention to the actresses, they still make sure he gets distracted by their sexy moves.
According to our source, even some of Nollywood star actors have developed deep interest for the Ghanaian born super star, but they are handling it with maturity. They, however, show their interest publicly by scolding the unpopular young ones who are likely to mar their closeness with the Ghanaian actor.
It was further gathered that Van Vicker who knew all the gimmicks put in place to get his attention is also enjoying the inhouse drama as that enables him to get the best out of who ever he is working with on set.
Our source also revealed that Van who has contributed immensely to the English movie industry in Nigeria is also stopping at nothing to arrest the feelings of movie watchers. A recent market survey shows that 85 per cent of present day movie watchers prefer to buy a movie where the Ghanaian actor’s face is displayed than any other movie.
However, the consolidation is that 90% of Ghanaian movies cannot survive in Nigeria market without the Nigerian actors and actesses.

Valentine’s Day: Streaming Of Heartbreak Songs Increased Massively-Spotify
Spotify yesterday revealed a significant surge in heartbreak song streams in Nigeria during the Valentine’s Day season, with a 626 percent increase between 2022 and 2024.
This was disclosed in a statement issued in Lagos, Nigeria by Spotify’s Head of Music, Sub-Saharan Africa Phiona Okumu.
Okumu said, “Spotify data reveals a surprising trend, a massive surge in heartbreak song streams.
“Nigerians are turning to their playlists to express their emotions, with a staggering 626 per cent overall growth in heartbreak streams from 2022 to 2024.
“This Valentine, the sound of love is accompanied by the sound of heartbreak, and the data shows it’s louder than ever before.”
She said on Valentine’s Day, most surprisingly, male listeners streamed heartbreak songs at a significantly higher rate than female listeners, with a 362 per cent increase compared to 169 per cent among women.
“This could suggest that men resonate with the feeling of heartbreak more and turn to music as a private outlet for processing emotions.
“Whatever the reason, one thing is clear, when love is in the air, so is heartbreak and Nigerian men are pressing play on their pain more than expected.
“While Valentine’s Day is often celebrated with grand gestures, heartbreak is a common theme on Valentine’s Day -more than what’s publicly shown,” she said.
Nigerians will join their counterparts across the world to mark the 2025 Valentine’s today.

Toyin Lawani Cries Out Over Side Effects Of Epidural
Fashion and beauty entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani, has claimed she is enduring back pain and that her spine is degenerating.
Lawani revealed this in a video posted on social media last Tuesday.
In the clip, she opened up about her experience with epidural anesthesia, an injection administered to pregnant women in the spine to reduce pain during childbirth.
The mother of three claimed that since receiving the injection, she has not felt like herself.
She accused doctors of not fully informing women about the long-term side effects of epidurals.
According to Lawani, she received the anesthetic injection during the birth of her last two children.
She said, “When you hear ‘epidural,’ run. Doctors tell you about the side effects but do not tell you about the long-term effects on your body. I have about three friends having the same issues that I am having.
“Like, I am just 42, how did I end up with spine issues? I have a degenerating spine. I have implants in my spine. I go paralyzed. I can’t stand for a long time. I can’t even breathe properly sometimes because it affected so many things in my body when I had the surgery.
“They will not tell you because you just want the pain to go away. I have had two epidurals. I had my first as natural birth. The last two were epidural. The last one I had epidural because I had to undergo a surgery and I had no choice.
“See, the pain does not stop. My back is killing me and my spine is degenerating.”
