Reports say the pair will feature in an upcoming movie 'Ransom' produced by Elvis Chuks ('True Citizen', 'Huslter').
There was however some controversy following the report which broke today (January 7, 2014); An earlier report published on Linda Ikeji's blog claimed that the movie was Nelson's and the actress had reached out to her former lover for a role.
Yvonne immediately called out the blogger on Twitter, 'Hi @lindaikeji pls be accurate with stories involving my name. Thank you', suggesting that the movie wasn't hers…
The actress then confirmed to Bella Naija that Iyanya won't be part of any movie she would produce. 'It's false. I haven't approached anyone. Whoever is writing or sending these stories should stop it. I don't intend to cast Iyanya in my movie. Very false. Ikeji was forced to delete the post.
Alas, it might all just be another a publicity stunt orchestrated by Yvonne Nelson. Linda Ikeji claims Nelson's team sent her the news claiming that Chuks's movie was hers.
'@yvonnenelsongh lol. The things I don't say about u people. U my darling sent some1 to tell me it's ur movie. U want to trend today, ba? lol', Linda Ikeji replied the actress.
Yvonne Nelson's last produced movie was 'House of Gold' which featured the likes of Ice Prince and Omawumi.
I used to sometimes like visiting some of the blog sites to
see what new things are happening in the world! Things
like cool photos, current events, etc. But nowadays it seems
like there's a competition with sites on "Who Can Tear
Someone Down the Most." The stories are going from cool
and creative to pure drama. Even the comment sections are
beginning to get out of control and people are using the
platforms to exercise a false sense of power.
People sure do have a lot of courage when they are anonymous. It's like a "Who Can Say the Nastiest
Comment Game." I click onto some of the comments
from something as fun as an Instagram post that you're
sharing with your fans, and a person finds a way to turn a
positive post into a negative. I think to myself, "I could
pick this person apart so bad but what for? Why act ugly
like them?" It honestly takes the fun out of it when people
seem so miserable.
Or at least that's how I view someone wasting their
energy to tear someone down, just plain miserable. They
could be using that to do something much more
productive. If only they could channel their energy
towards positivity, it could make a difference in their own
life as well as influence others. It's kind of scary for the
kids coming up, because even if a parent doesn't allow
their kids to have blog site access at home, they may still
have access at school or other places. It's now almost
impossible to protect your kids from the vile things people
say on blog sites today, and it's even worse when kids
hear hurtful things about themselves, their parents or other
family members. In some cases kids have even resorted to
suicide due to "cyber-bullying."
My questions to people creating slander about people are:
What stops you from thinking twice about trying to
defame someone? What are you trying to gain?
Words are powerful. You could say the wrong thing about
someone, famous or not, on the wrong day and that could
cost them their life because they're at a weak point.
Believe it or not, you could also be encouraging them to
give up on their life or whatever the situation is, when
they shouldn't. Or what about a story that causes
unnecessary drama stemming from completely false
information? It's just flat out wrong and sad. I say to
myself, I thank God for making me strong, because I've
always been able to use the negativity as motivation, and
it makes me stronger.
But I don't just think about myself in this, I think about
others that I see getting thrashed and think it's just so
wrong. It's very sad that people just want to tear people
down so bad just to see them unhappy. It's unbelievable
how far people are willing to go to get people to come to
their site.
I say this to say….
Dear Blogger,
It's never worth it in the end when you sell your soul for
a quick dollar, by creating bad stories about people. At
some point, it will all reverse on you and you'll end up
regretting all the trash you wrote or said about people.
The universal friend "Karma" has demonstrated this
over and over again. I strongly encourage you to project
more positivity into the universe. If Social Media is a
world that's growing more massive by the day, why not
use it to shed light?? Otherwise, you are merely
contaminating our universe.
What about your family and kids?? Do you think about
them?? You're definitely creating a harmful and volatile
environment where they must learn to live. It's almost
like you are cursing future generations with your bad
energy.
Not to mention…Your "Personal Karma"??… Forget
about it!
You better start doing some serious praying and
rebuking, cause only The Lord knows!…:)
I sure do miss the good ol days when the focus was about
the pure creativity of being an artist. Back then there was
still some mystery. Social Media Is Beginning To Take
Away The Specialness of What That Was, and Is.
Now, Off Blogs. Peaceful Mind. Living In My Happiness.
Creativity Only.
Love, C
Scores of reporters, television crews and photographers have besieged the hospital in the French Alpine city of Grenoble where the Formula One legend is in stable but critical condition following the December 29 accident.
Last week, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm deplored the tactics used by some journalists to try and catch a glimpse of the seven-time world champion in his room, reporting that one had dressed up as a priest to try and get in.
"Please support our shared fight with Michael. It is important to me that you take the pressure off the doctors and the hospital so they can do their work," Corinna Schumacher said in a statement addressed "to the media".
"Please have faith in their statements and leave the hospital. Please also leave our family in peace," she said.
News that Schumacher was in a medically-induced coma after falling and slamming his head on a rock while skiing sent shockwaves round the sporting world, and journalists are anxiously waiting for any update on his condition.
Following a flurry of speculation about his health, doctors looking after the 45-year-old said they would give no details of the treatment he is receiving in order to protect his right to privacy.
The German Federation of Journalists on Tuesday also echoed Corinna Schumacher's plea, urging reporters to use restraint while covering the German former racer's plight.
The focus has diverted onto the circumstances of Schumacher's fall on an off-piste section in between two slopes at the Meribel resort, which French investigators are probing to try and determine responsibility for the accident.
They are looking at the speed at which he was going at the time of the accident and are due to brief the press on their findings so far on Wednesday morning.
Schumacher was wearing a camera strapped to his helmet when he fell, and a source close to the probe said Tuesday that footage from the device could be used.
It had been unclear until now whether the camera was working at the time of the accident, or whether the footage would be clear enough to use, and it could be vital in helping investigators determine the speed.
"It's an important document", said the source, who wished to remain anonymous.
Prosecutors are also looking at whether the limits of the ski runs next to the accident site were correctly marked and whether the rock in question was lying close enough to the piste to require some kind of protection or signage.
They are also examining whether the safety releases on Schumacher's skis operated properly.
A German flight steward had also told Germany's Der Spiegel magazine that he had accidentally filmed Schumacher at the time of the accident and that the racing champion had been going at a maximum speed of about 20 kilometres (12 miles) per hour.
He had told the magazine he would hand over the footage to French police, which he has not done so far, the source said.
Schumacher dominated Formula One before retiring in 2012, winning more titles than any other driver and enjoying 91 Grand Prix victories between 1994 and 2004.

The Director of the service, Mr Rasak Fadipe, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.
Fadipe said the last incident occurred on Jan. 7 at about 3.08 a.m at Sawmill Market, Ipaja, Lagos.
He said that 11 lock-up shops out of about 150 shops in the market were destroyed by fire.
Fadipe said that the shops destroyed contained planks, paints, chemicals, wood-cutting machines and other building materials.
According to him, it took men of the service about four hours to put out the fire.
"The fire spread faster due to the harmattan season.
"I advise members of the public to be careful with anything that can cause fire fast.
"The fire took us longer time to put out due to sawdust and chemicals in the market,'' Fadipe said.
The director said that no death was recorded in all the fire incidents.

Mary Konye, 21, disguised herself in an Islamic veil showing
only her eyes, and followed Naomi Oni home in East London
before allegedly dousing her in the corrosive acid. Ms Oni,
21, who worked at Victoria's Secret lingerie shop, suffered
horrific burns on her face and chest, lost her hair and eyelashes and was left scarred for life in the alleged attack on
December 30 2012.
Snaresbrook Crown Court heard that Konye, who was
studying business and finance at Hertfordshire University, had
been close friends with Ms Oni since secondary school.
But she was envious of the shop worker's good looks, and the
pair had rowed in the past leading Konye to attack her with
acid previously, it is alleged.
Konye knew Ms Oni had been deeply 'moved' by Katie Piper,
a model and TV presenter who was badly scarred and left
blind in one eye after she was attacked with acid in an ambush
arranged by her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch.
Knowing this, Konye decided to launch the copycat attack,
jurors were told.
The court heard Ms Oni left work at the Westfield Shopping
Centre in Stratford, East London, at around 11.30pm with
several colleagues.
But she was oblivious to the fact she was being closely
followed by Konye wearing a full niqab, a hooded black coat,
gloves and a grey bag, jurors heard.
CCTV showed the university student had 'lingered waiting to
see the victim' at Stratford and 'tailed' her home always
making sure to keep a few steps behind her, the court heard.
On the phone to her boyfriend throughout the journey, she
stopped off at takeaway to pick up some food and got the 368
bus to her house.
Unaware she was being followed, she got off the bus at Lodge
Avenue, a few hundred yards away from her house.
But she suddenly became aware of a presence behind her and
spun around to see someone in a niqab who lobbed a glass of
acid at her.
Gareth Patterson, prosecuting, told jurors that Konye had
threatened to attack Ms Oni with acid on another occasion
after the pair rowed.
He said: 'Naomi will tell you about her friendship with the
defendant.
'In particular she will tell you how in the past they had an up
and down relationship and how the defendant had admitted to
her that on one occasion in anger she threatened to throw acid
at Naomi.
'There was a reason why the defendant would have chosen to
make such an unusual sort of threat.
'In the past the two of them had discussed a young woman
called Katie Piper.
'She was a woman who had acid thrown at her and that attack
had been reported in the media.
'Naomi and the defendant had discussed this and it appears
that the defendant knew that Naomi had been particularly
moved by Katie Piper's ordeal.
'Naomi stated that she and the defendant had fallen out in the
past and says that there was an occasion during a row when
she called the defendant ugly.
'She says that they were later back on speaking terms and
importantly, that the defendant said to her that she (the
defendant) had been so angry at the time that she had said to
someone else, a friend of the defendant's called Kamilah
Andrews, that she (the defendant) wanted to throw acid at
Naomi.
'Naomi believed that the defendant had realised just how
upset she had been by Katie Piper's horrible ordeal.'
Mr Patterson said: 'She could not see the face of the person,
just the light-brown coloured skin around the eyes.
'She believed it was a female. The woman was staring at her.
'All of a sudden Naomi felt a liquid being thrown into her
face. She screamed and immediately felt her face burning.
'She could smell her skin and hair burning. She immediately
ran home.
'Naomi's boyfriend Ato Owede was still on the phone with
her at the time of the attack. He describes how he was
chatting with her when suddenly he heard his girlfriend
scream.'
The liquid immediately burnt through her skin and clothes and
left her face blistered.
Screaming and shouting 'acid' she ran to her house in
Dagenham and desperately tried to wash the harmful liquid
off before being rushed to Broomfield Hospital for specialist
treatment for her burns.
Her house was packed with relatives who were staying for the
Christmas and New Year holiday and frantically tried to help
the young shop worker wash the acid off.
The skin on her face and part of her neck has turned white and
peeled off, and there was also burning to her nose, cheeks and
chin, right wrist, hand, stomach and left thigh.
She had to spend a month in hospital undergoing intensive
treatment for her injuries.
Specialist cops who deal with chemical spills tested the
clothes and a pool of water at Ms Oni's home.
They found that her burnt out clothes and the pool of water all
had a ph level of 1 - the most acidic.
Her cardigan had 'melted, producing a black tar-like material'
and had a 'pronounced acrid smell'.
They believe she was doused with sulphuric acid, which is
used in the chemical industry and found in batteries and drain
cleaners.
Konye, who was arrested on February 22 last year, denied
carrying out the attack or ever threatening to throw acid at
Naomi.
Mr Patterson said: 'She described the victim as being very
attractive and said she believed the victim had wanted to work
in make-up.
'She said they had had quite a few fallings out, including one
very big one, however she said she did not remember ever
saying she was going to attack Naomi with acid.
'She denied being in any way jealous of the victim's looks.'
He added: 'She agreed that she and the victim had previously
spoken about the acid attack on Katie Piper.'
But she denied carrying out the attack or knowing who did it.
Jurors were told there is mobile phone evidence placing
Konye on the same bus as Ms Oni.
Wearing her long hair down and a purple top and black
cardigan, Konye, of Canning Town, East London, sat in the
dock passively and repeatedly stared at the floor during the
hearing.
She denies throwing or casting a corrosive fluid with intent to
burn, maim, disfigure, disable or do grievous bodily harm.
The case was adjourned until 10.15am and the case continues
tomorrow.
