Apes’ swings to top of US box office
War for the Planet of the Apes” won this weekend’s battle of the box office in North America, riding on strong reviews and ever more natural-looking apes to take $56.3 million. Apes The Fox/Chemin Entertainment production managed to outdraw “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” which fell by more than half from its opening three-day weekend to pull in $44.2 million, website Exhibitor Relations reported. “War,” directed by Matt Reeves, tells the continuing story of how intelligent primate Caesar (Andy Serkis) and other apes battle the forces led by an evil human dictator (Woody Harrelson). The film, made for $150 million, has a 95 percent approval rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website, which collates reviews. Sony-Marvel collaboration “Spider-Man,” which draws a similarly strong 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, stars Tom Holland as a young Peter Parker, ably mentored by Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man as he takes on bad guy Vulture (Michael Keaton). Far behind on $19.4 million was Universal’s animated sequel “Despicable Me 3,” starring Steve Carell as the voice of bad guy-turned-protagonist Gru — and his twin brother Dru, and Kristen Wiig as Gru’s wife Lucy. The film has done much better overseas than at home, according to Hollywood Reporter, which says its global gross of $519.4 million includes a whopping $113.6 million from viewers in China. Placing fourth was Sony’s heist thriller “Baby Driver,” with Ansel Elgort (“The Fault in our Stars”) front and center as a gifted getaway driver with a hearing problem. It netted $8.7 million. And in a surprising fifth place among the big-studio blockbusters was independent rom-com “The Big Sick” from Lionsgate, taking in $7.5 million in its first week in wide release. “Sick” stars Kumail Nanjiani in the semi-autobiographical role of a Pakistani-American stand-up comic who resists his parents’ insistent efforts to find a wife for him, and instead falls in love with comedy-club customer Emily, played by Zoe Kazan. The film, co-written by Nanjiani and the real-life Emily, his wife, rates a resounding 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and is credited by the New York Times with no less than “revitalizing an often moribund subgenre with a true story of love, death and… everyday comedy.” Rounding out the top 10 were: “Wonder Woman” ($6.8 million) “Wish Upon” ($5.5 million) “Cars 3” ($3.1 million) “Transformers: The Last Knight” ($2.8 million) “The House” ($1.7 million)

Prices of foods’ll soon crash – Audu Ogbeh
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, has assured Nigerians that the skyrocketing prices of foods in the country will soon crash, saying specifically that that of rice will happen within the next two weeks. He disclosed that the Federal Government will stop importation of rice this year. Explaining the reason behind the policy, Ogbeh hinted that the country has enough internal production that can sustain home consumption and meet foreign exchange earnings that can guarantee diversification of the economy. Audu Ogbeh In order to further boost internal production of the commodity and enhance the country’s comparative advantages in rice and yam production, Ogbeh stated that the federal government will sign a memoranda of understanding with Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti (ABUAD) and Ekiti State Government in the two critical sectors. He unveiled his Ministry’s intention to supply ABUAD with 20 tonnes of rice seedlings in the next planting season to boost rice production internally. The Minister said these in Ado Ekiti at the weekend during a visit to ABUAD’s farm and Ekiti State government . Ogbeh said the current economic recession being experienced under Buhari’s government has helped the federal government to think outside the box and had succeeded in bringing the deserved revolution to the agriculture sector. According to him, “Of recent, prices of diesel increased from N130 pr litre to about N280, which makes the cost of tractors to move up to N14 million from N7 million. The interest rate on every loan given to farmers also went up, so the aggregate of all these factors caused increase in the prices of food items. “We are concerned with the plights of Nigerians. We knew that many are hungry but we are working round it because it doesn’t speak well of us in government that people are hungry.” The ABUAD’s founder, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), praised Buhari’s administration for bringing revolution to the country’s agriculture sector that had been neglected by successive governments, describing the current economic recession as a blessing in disguise. “To support the FG initiative , this university for the past three years have been holding annual Afe Babalola Agriculture EXPO(ABAFEX) , where we give N1m to the best farmer in Ekiti and N250,000 to the best in 16 local governments. “This year, we intend to hold Rice summit with intention to expose Ekiti potentials in the production of the commodity”, Babalola said.
