"Producing Figurine Was Most Challenging" - Kunle Afolayan Speaks On Career

The producer of three of Nollywood's best movies; Irapada, Figurine and Phone Swap, Kunle Afolayan has said that the movie Figurine took 'sweat and blood' to produce and he thought he was going to die.

Yesterday, I had to opportunity to be part of a Google+ Hangout with Nollywood's finest film maker, Kunle Afolayan alongside two of my colleagues at work; Oluchi and Oge and other folks from across the world.

I asked him two questions and his responses were really interesting.

Of all three (aforementioned) movies, Kunle said Figurine was the most challenging to produce. In his words, it took 'sweat and blood' and he thought he was going to die.

He spoke about a few crazy problems that he encountered on set and worst of all was a big generator falling into the river while they were trying to access a location via water. He also spoke about the terrible sleeping conditions himself, Ramsey Noah and other folks had to endure for the love of the movie.

On one of the days they were shooting, there was an electrical spark that led to all their appliances, including phones and laptops blowing up. Chai!

He described the production as a 'labour of love.' He also said film making is about dedication, passion, not relenting, determination and having the right people around you.

#SaveALife: HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN YOU ARE ALONE!

Hi people..

I hardly get to blog as often as i would like to but i'm sure in time... i'll find a balance.

Here's something a friend shared on Facebook which I think we all should have and share... Living in a country like Nigeria and a city like Lagos especially... you find so many health issues!

We now have young folks having high blood pressure etc... We all need to be informed. Read this article on how to combat a heart attack. This could save a life.

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating ...improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However,these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. 

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. 

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!! 

A cardiologist says If everyone who sees this post shares it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life. 

Rather than sharing jokes only please contribute by forwarding this info which can save a person's life..
