Funke Akindele Bello Wraps Up 2020 With Grit and Gusto in "Omo Ghetto: The Saga"



Funke Akindele Bello Wraps Up 2020 With Grit and Gusto in "Omo Ghetto: The Saga"


This is the biggest and hottest #Nollywood action movie of the moment. And she is jumping into the New Year 2021 with pomp! I see the movie breaking the box office records of "The Wedding Party" by the Valentine's Day in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.

The public demand for "Omo Ghetto: The Saga" should make it run till March, 2021.

Funke Akindele should maximise the momentum by exploring the movie merchandising opportunities in the commercial production of "Omo Ghetto: The. Saga" T-shirts, #facemasks, face caps, bandanas, shopping bags, etcs; with a positive message that if you don't give up, "las las", you can make it from the ghetto to the top of your dreams like the most famous and richest Nigerian celebrity gossip blogger, Linda Ikeji who came from the Lagos ghetto of Mushin and now living her dreams in her own palatial mansion on Banana Island, off the foreshore of Ikoyi,, described as the most expensive residential neighbourhood in Nigeria by Forbes.

For "Omo Ghetto: The Saga", the saga has just begun!

Authoritative Study of Domain Name Data Accuracy Released

CHICAGO, March 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An authoritative study on the accuracy of information provided by those who register Internet domain names - registrants - finds that 23 percent of the records are fully accurate, eight percent are patently false, and the remainder fall somewhere in between these two extremes. About 75 percent of all records examined eventually led back to the registrant but the majority of records contained at least some missing or inaccurate information. The attached chart shows the range of accuracy levels identified in the study.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has released for public comment a study conducted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago, which examined the records of the WHOIS service. WHOIS provides free public access to information about the people and organizations who register domain names.


The study was designed to provide a baseline measurement of the accuracy of WHOIS records in five top level domains (.com, .org, .net, .info and .biz) using an internationally representative sample of 1,419 records. NORC researchers applied three criteria to each record selected in order to verify the mailing address, the association between the name and the mailing address, and to confirm that the registrant had in fact provided information for the domain name.


The study also identified several barriers to registrant data accuracy, including concerns about privacy, confusion about the information required, lack of clarity in the standard to which information should be entered, no requirement for proof of identity or address, and differences in the approaches used by different registrars.


"The Internet community has been aware of issues with WHOIS data accuracy for some time," Jennifer A. Kelly, lead investigator for the study, said. "Many good proposals have been put forward to address them but consensus on how best to proceed has been difficult due to uncertainty about the extent of the problem. This study provides a solid basis for moving forward," she went on to say, "and it will help stakeholders determine the level of investment required to improve the WHOIS service."


The public comment period runs through April 15, 2010. To view and download the report, go to:
