In a significant legal victory, Chinenye Nworah and her production company, GCM Giant Creative Media Limited, have been declared the rightful owners of the trademarks for the popular Netflix series “Shanty Town” and “Scar.”

The decision came after a lengthy intellectual property dispute with Nollywood actress Ini Edo and Minini Empire Productions Limited (MEP), which began on January 10, 2024.

The Nigerian Trademark Tribunal officially ruled in favor of Nworah on July 18, 2024, dismissing the petition filed by Edo and MEP.

This ruling affirms Nworah’s ownership of the series, leaving the future of its highly anticipated second season more certain.

Additionally, the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) upheld the validity of the copyright certificates issued to Nworah on July 24, 2024.

Edo’s petition challenging these copyrights was dismissed, further solidifying Nworah’s legal standing.”Shanty Town,” directed by Dimeji Ajibola, is a six-part crime thriller that follows a group of young women coerced into sex work by powerful men.

The series, released on January 20, 2023, became a massive hit, featuring a star-studded cast including Chidi Mokeme, Ini Edo, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Nse Ikpe Etim, Sola Sobowale, Nancy Isime, Shaffy Bello, and Mercy Eke.

Why I dropped out of LASU in my final year — Singer Oxlade

Nigerian singer Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, better known as Oxlade, has disclosed why he dropped out of Lagos State University (LASU) in his final year.

Speaking in a recent podcast, he said: “I dropped out of the university in my final year because it was a cr@zy time.

There were some gangs after me because I’m a fine boy. Being a fine boy makes you a target. It’s either you join them or they o** you. So I had to leave that environment.

I went to Lagos State University (LASU). Go and read about the school. Now, they’re more focused on academics. I think they’ve realized how fragile life is and how important it is to pursue your dreams, so they’ve cracked down on that kind of behavior. Now everyone is chasing money, but at that time, it was a hot period.

After I left school, I ran away from home because I couldn’t tell my family why I dropped out. They wouldn’t understand; they would just think I was making excuses.

So I couldn’t go back. It felt like I let my family and my grandma down. The crazi€st part was that when my grandma finally saw me, she was so calm about it. All that pressure I put on myself was just in my head.”
