 ‘A Trip to Jamaica’ which bridges the gap between Nollywood, Gollywood, Hollywood and the Jamaican movie industry will be showcasing AY again as the no-holds-barred Akpos, alongside the award-winning FunkeAkindele, who plays Bola in the high voltage potpourri of love, adventure, crime and lots of comedy.

Other members of the high profile cast for this movie includes, celebrated Hollywood veteran Eric Roberts, Paul Campbell of ‘The 3rd World Cop’ fame in Jamaica, Nollywood A- List actress NseIkpe-Etim, Ghanaian Lover Boy Chris Attoh, Dan Davies from Hollywood and Rebecca Silvera who was the former Miss Jamaica and the Winner of ‘She's Got Game’ American reality television dating game show.Also including cameo appearances from Music Stars: Cynthia Morgan, Patoranking and Olamide.

 ‘A Trip to Jamaica’ is set to have its World Premiere on Sunday September 25, 2016 and will start showing across all Nigerian cinemas from Friday 30th September, 2016. The movie which is co-written by Ay and Dianne Diaz is directed by Robert Peters, the US based multiple award winning film maker who also directed ‘30 Days in Atlanta’.

The movie will be distributed by FilmOne Distribution, Nigeria’s fastest growing film distribution company (behind box office successes like Fifty, Wives on Strike and Ghana Must Go). Speaking on the expectations of the movie Moses Babatope, Group Executive Director and COO FilmOne, expressed FilmOne Distribution’s delight to partner with AY’s Corporate World Entertainment for the film’s distribution. “AY has perfected the recipe for entertaining audiences all over the world and as he adds ‘A Trip to Jamaica’ to his hugely impressive resume, we are proud to partner with him to bring this film to Nigerian audiences.”

Referral business/marketing

What is referral marketing?

Referral marketing is a method of promoting products or services to new customers through referrals, usually by word of mouth or simply put, referral marketing is spreading the word about a product or service through a business' existing customers, rather than traditional advertising method.

For instance, a book selling company promotes its products through its customers by telling them to tell others about their products and services and rewarding any customer that successfully referred another person into patronizing their product and services.

Referral marketing is perhaps the oldest and most trusted marketing strategy. All businesses in one way or the other uses this business marketing style. Most businesses accomplish this by encouraging and rewarding customers through appropriate strategies. Referral marketing can either be done online or offline.

Online referral marketing is internet-based, some nonprofit organizations use the referral marketing strategies to increase their publicity and convince more donors to support their cause. One of the most common referral marketing strategies used by non-profits is a joint venture, where an organization partners with a for-profit company who offers a percentage of profit for each referral.

For example, through H&R Block's nonprofit referral program, organizations receive a $25 donation for each new client who signs up for H&R Block services through the nonprofit.

How does this benefit you as an individual?

Signing up for a referral program helps you gain extra income even when you already have a job. Referral programs are easy to start and handle. All you just need do is, register with any referral organization of your choice; refer as many people as you can. You can achieve this through your mobile contacts, BBM contacts, Whatsapp contacts, Facebook contacts and through other Social Medias. There is always a fixed percentage share you will get when you refer any individual to a referral organization and that’s how you make your money from the referral org.

Division in the House of God

It is with great pain, that we of the Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria (CHAIN) read the statements credited to the Association of Christian Theologians (ACTS) which was published in the media on Saturday,  November 23, 2013 and stating that ACTS was of the view that the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, “could not be trusted to present the views of Nigerian Christians at the conference.”

Not only does the statement of this group seek to bring the Church of Christ in Nigeria into disrepute, it further casts aspersions on this theologians group as a whole for the simple reason that what the group has done is against Christian theology as taught by Christ in Matthew 18:15-17; where Jesus said: “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector”.

The above steps for conflict resolution are those ordained by our Lord and Saviour. As theologians, it is expected that ACTS should be familiar with these steps. The question is, have they followed these God-ordained steps to resolve any conflict with CAN? How do they want to represent Christians at the National Dialogue with a divided Christian House? We believe ACTS should learn first to dialogue with CAN before meeting other Nigerians if they are going to make a good and godly representation at the conference.

On the contrary, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, under the leadership of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has set up machinery to resolve any existing conflict among her groups. Just last week, CAN under Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, called an interdenominational meeting of Christian groups and said: “There is a problem we need to reconcile with everybody”. The media was not called, outsiders were not called. Is that not how Christians should settle their matters?

The Bible enjoins us to obey constituted authorities which CAN is one. There may be issues and differences in the way we view matters in this country but we most be seen to be godly in our approach to getting things done right.

The Bible teaches us to obey constituted authorities which CAN is one. Thus we at CHAIN, call on the Association of Christian Theologians (ACTS), that if they are indeed theologians of the Holy Bible, they should as a matter of urgency purge themselves of this current unbiblical stance of theirs where they take disagreements to the pages of newspapers when they have not made any effort for reconciliation.

It is a settled matter that Pastor Oritsejafor was voted by Christian representatives at the last CAN Congress in Abuja for another final term in office in accordance with CAN Constitution.

We hereby call on those behind ACTS to retrace their steps if they are indeed Christians and adhere to the discipline expected of theologians by submitting themselves to the Ecclesiastical authority of CAN. If they do not like the present CAN leadership, the only option open to them is to engage them in constructive dialogue, pray for God to change their hearts or wait until the next elections and offer themselves for election into the offices of the president and executives of CAN and if they win then they can speak for Nigerian Christians. Until then, ENOUGH OF THIS DIVISION IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

*Rev. John Joseph Hayab for Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria (CHAIN)
