SYNOPSIS: What shapes the future? Our circumstances or the words of our parents?

From a very young age, Janet was groomed to be the best she can be. Inspiring words of wisdom echoes from her mother’s mouth to her ear daily, preparing her for the world she will later face alone. If there was a Manuel to raise a child, we could say her mother was a perfect Manuel, so how did Janet now slide down the pole of a nightly strip club while a raunchy crowd of men demands for more?

The last words her mother spoke to her was “my child hold tight to my good advice and keep them, let it shape your world and never departs your heart” Now there is an ongoing battle, a battle between the inner echoes of her mother’s words and her circumstance. Who will win this battle, her inner self or her circumstance? Will a greater power from above interfere? Find out in X-class if life‘s battle is won by strength or only by Grace

Starring: Ghana superstar John Dumelo, Nollywood USA superstar JJ Bunny, Nigeria superstar Ngozi Ezenou and Christy okonkwo, London International star Anthony monjaro,

Co starring: Ash Davito, Maureen Onyechere, sike, George Ukomadu Inorie Fotso, Jasmine long, Okawa Shazney, Bola Adelekan and several talented cast in USA and Nigeria

Onyeka Onwenu, Segun Obe, Sammie Okposo & Naija All Stars present “Love is What We Need”

This is a nice change of pace from the Nigerian “pop” that dominates our airwaves. With all the bombings and negativity in Nigeria this season, it is great to see some positiveness via pop culture. It’s a nice video for Funke Akinokun‘s song “Love is What We Need“. The video was directed by DJ Tee and features a host of Nigerian gospel musicians, actors and media personalities.

Check out all the stellar vocal performances by the artists featured in the video…Onyeka Onwenu, Pat King and more!
