Davido Is A Brilliant And Obedient Student – H.O.D

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 9 Jun 2015 16:04:00 -0700

Olusegun Ojuola, the Head of Music Department,Babcock University has described Davido as a billiant and obedient student. Until his graduation yesterday,Davido was a lone student in his department and was taught by Mr Ojuola.
Speaking to the NETng at the convocation of the music star on Sunday, June 7, 2015, Ojuola said:
‘Well, the first thing I try to do is to dichotomise the artiste from the student. The Davido I know is an artiste, but the student I admitted into the department is Adedeji David Adeleke and the relationship has been like that all through.’
‘But I can tell you this much, that David is a very very brilliant and very obedient student. When I say Obedient, you can see that in terms of humility. Anytime David is in school, he knows he’s in school as a student.’…

Bukola Saraki denies disrespecting Osinbajo, releases statement

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 9 Jun 2015 15:26:00 -0700

Press statement released by Senator Bukola Saraki discrediting media reports that he disrespected Vice President Osinbajo and referred to him as a mere commissioner. The press statement signed by his media aide, Bamikole Omishore below...

The attention of Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki's media office has been drawn to a publication by an online tabloid which insinuated that "Senator Saraki Boycotts APC Leadership Meeting To be Chaired by VP Osinbajo" We wish to categorically state that up to this very point 10:50pm, 8th of June 2015, senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki is yet to receive any official invitation from His Excellency Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria or through any other source for any meeting; political, social or otherwise.

Understanding the importance of last minute consultation required for the inauguration of the 8th Assembly, Senator Saraki has been attending to meetings with colleagues and friends on the program for the 8th assembly.

Senator Saraki having being in public service in different capacity knows the importance of respecting the office and person of the Vice President. And therefore advise those spreading false news to cease and desist. Senator Saraki therefore, uses this opportunity to assure His Excellency, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President of Federal Republic of Nigeria of his highest regards.

I Will Conduct The Elections – Jega, I'm Not Going Anywhere

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 04:42:00 -0700

Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has dismisses all the pressures on him to resign from office.

The INEC boss said that protests and calls by some groups for his resignation would not deter him and his team from delivering free and fair elections to Nigerians.

He said, “I have heard of the several calls for me to be removed. In fact, I am aware that some groups have been protesting. Well, I have a job to do and I will do it... all of us at INEC are focused on ensuring that this election is free and fair.”

In a clear response to the Presidency-sponsored protest for his removal, Jega said “I have a job to do and it would be a disservice to Nigerians for me to resign.”

On issues of election day, he gave assurance that voters whose fingerprints might not be recognised by card readers would be allowed to vote after they must have filled incident forms.

Jega assured Nigerians that INEC had put in place, some stringent measures to prevent multiple voting in the elections.

He said the time lapse between the accreditation and voting exercise was aimed at restricting movement of voters from one polling unit to the other and ensuring that people did not vote more than once.

He said, “Multiple voting is unfortunately the factor that has bedevilled many voting exercises in Nigeria. This problem is posed by politicians who pay voters to vote many times or plan to snatch ballot boxes once the voting exercise starts.

“But the time lapse will ensure that voting takes place and ends in the various polling units at the same time and voters who want to engage in this fraudulent act will not be able to move around.”

FIRST LADY SAYs, I’m not ready to feed my husband in prison' - Patience Jonathan

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 04:30:00 -0700

According to a report by Punch, during a women’s wing rally in Ado Ekiti yesterday Monday March 16th, the first lady said she's not ready to feed her husband in prison as that was what APC will do if they get into power. Talking about APC, Mrs Jonathan said;

If you vote PDP and Jonathan, it would be better for you. If you vote APC, you will go to prison. How can you jail somebody for 300 years? I’m not ready to carry food to my husband inside prison oh!”

Lol. For real? Then she kinda talked about the Office of the First Lady, saying even though it doesn't really exist, there's nothing wrong with a woman supporting her husband in office. Continue...

"They said there is no Office of the First Lady. Already, we know that there is no Office of the First Lady but there is wife of the President. As (the) wife of the President, if you are good, people will love you. You will have a Non-Governmental Organisation through which you will touch people’s lives. That is why I brought Women for Change Initiative.”

Mrs. Jonathan then described APC as a poison, saying, “If you drink APC, you will die.” the she accused the party of having to change name several times,

"Since my father was born, they have been around changing from one name to another. Very soon they would answer Ebola. The name can’t change you; it is only performance that can change you. If you like change it 100 times. Nigerian women shine your eyes, don’t go for analogue, go for digital. PDP is digital, APC is analogue."

Boko Haram’s Grievances Legitimate, Says Obasanjo

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 04:24:00 -0700

Oh baba! How are you going to go on record to say Boko Haram's grievances are legitimate? The former President said this in an interview with International Business Times UK at a global education conference in Dubai, UAE yesterday March 16th. "They have legitimate grievances,” he said.

He said that the low level of education in the north is largely responsible for the restiveness by the sect members "We don’t need anyone to tell us that it's a problem. A problem of disparity, a problem of marginalization"
He blamed President Jonathan's administration for not showing enough response when, according to him, the sect group started showing their fangs
of marginalization"he said

"The response of the government initially was definitely not enough. When Boko Haram started showing their fangs about four years ago, the reaction should have been firm and unmistakable. If Boko Haram is ready to talk, we should talk. But they will need to be pounded a little bit by the military and then, they would be ready to talk,” he said.

Yesterday, we reported the building rift between two of Nollywood’s most recognisable actresses, Stella Damasus and Toyin Aimakhu. As at the time of our first report, Toyin Aimahku hadn’t responded to Stella’s rant but knowing her, we always knew it wouldn’t be long before she would respond.

And when she finally did, she went in really hard, wondering why Stella just deemed it fit to reply her after a period of 8 months.

Although the Yoruba actress deleted her post on Instagram shortly after, she had shared the photo and comment below, warning Stella Damasus not to dare respond.

Boy kills brother in Yobe state, removes his eyes, tongue

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 17:17:00 -0700

A boy in Daya Village, Fika LGA of Yobe State, today Monday March 31st allegedly killed his younger brother and removed his tongue and eyes, Premium Times reports

A resident of Daya, Ishmail Daya, said that the younger boy had gone missing three days ago and that while a search was going on in the village, the older brother was found with his brother’s tongue and eyes.

“He killed his younger brother and buried him on his father’s farmland,” Ishmail said.

Both the alleged killer and the victim are believed to be underage. He insisted that there had been no prior quarrel between the siblings.

“There was no fight, he just killed his brother. Though investigation is still going on, but there was no fight,” he said.

The district head and Galadima of Fika, Fika LGA, Garba Daya, confirmed the incident.

“Yes, it actually happened in Daya,” he said, adding that the killer was currently in police custody.

Efforts to reach the Yobe Police command proved futile as the state Commissioner of Police, Sanusi Rufai, did not pick his calls or respond to text messages as at press time.

But according to sources, it was a gas cylinder that exploded and a Jeep packed beside it also went up in flames. The fire spread and other cylinders caught fire.

The gas retailer who tried to save some money he had made during the day which was kept under one of the cylinders rushed for it, but was also caught up in the fire. He is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital, and soldiers have been sent to the plaza to monitor activities.

Eminem Becomes Second Best-Selling Male Artist

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 02:21:00 -0700

It was a historic week for Eminem. The rapper sold his 2 millionth copy of The Marshall Mathers LP 2, and took the title of second best-selling male artist of the SoundScan era. (SoundScan is the modern method for tabulating sales and was implemented back in 1991.)
According to Billboard, Eminem’s eighth studio album sold another 13,000 copies in the week ending March 16, upping its combined total to 2.004 million album sold. Those milestone numbers, combined with sales of his entire catalog, pushed the rapper above country star George Strait, who had previously been the second best-selling male artist. Currently Eminem has sold 44.91 million units, while Strait has notched 44.89 million.
The only male artist to wrack up more sales: Garth Brooks, who sits at No. 1 with a massive 69.52 albums sold.

When it comes to best-selling artists of all time, the list looks like this: 1) Garth Brooks 2) The Beatles 3) Metallica 4) Mariah Carey 5) Celine Dion. And now Eminem at No. 6.
This summer Eminem will be hitting the road on a summer tour with Rihanna. So far the Monster Tour includes shows in New York, Detroit, and Los Angeles.

Opinion: Do You Think Phyno is the best rapper in Nigeria?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 6 Jan 2014 09:07:00 -0800

Do You Think That Phyno Is The Best Rapper of the year and In Nigeria?

Listening to Man of the Year (Obago) reminds of TuPac. I think he’s the most talented rapper in Nigeria. The way he combines swagg and street cred is a beauty to behold. If you ask me, I’ll place him above the likes of MI, Olamide and Ice Prince (who can’t even freestyle) and gladly declare him the best rapper in Nigeria.

Basketmouth in trouble over rape joke

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 6 Jan 2014 08:51:00 -0800

Comedian Bright ‘Baskemouth‘ Okpocha’s has landed himself in hot water over a joke relating to rape.

Hours ago, the widely-loved comedian posted a joke on his official Facebook page – the material (which is not new) attempted to compare dating a white girl (presumably Caucasian) and an African girl. Basketmouth wrote:

White Girls:
1st Date: Coffee
2nd Date: Kiss
3rd Date: Sex

African Girls:
1st Date: Fast food
2nd Date: Hug
3rd Date: Chinese restaurant
4th Date: Kiss
5th Date: Attempted sex but failed
6th Date: Shopping
7th Date: Cinema, new phone, more shopping
8th Date: Attempted sex but failed
9th Date: RAPE!!!

Apparently, Basketmouth’s fans didn’t find it funny.with many calling him out, accusing him of supporting rape. Rape is a very sensitive topic in Nigeria; the fans accused him of his nonchalance over the topic.

On social networks Facebook and Twitter, the comedian received quite a number of responses, including from broadcaster Funmi Iyanda, journalist Tolu Ogunlesi, Esther Ijewere and other notable figures.

‘I hope young men will resist the hideous advice by @basket_mouth to Rape! Jokes are stupid!’, @blcompere wrote on Twitter.

‘Would your joke be funny if your mother your sister, your aunt, your daughter had been raped? If you daughter or your sister had come home with blood running down her legs because some brute had seen her, not as a human being with feelings and a physical body that hurts and bleeds, but as a vessel for his lust, his rage, his disrespect and his misogyny?’, a Barbara Mhangami wrote on her blog.

‘…Because boys and men are not being taught that rape is not a joke! We place the burden of being safe on girls but girls do not rape themselves and your joke legitimizes and reinforces the notion that raping a girl is ok!!! Rape is not trivial!’, she continued.

As the rebukes poured in, Basketmouth deleted the post and wrote an apology on his Facebook page.

‘My people,

I have a daughter that I would give my life to protect, a wife that means the world to me, a mother that made me the man that I am and anything that is done for any woman is less than she deserves for the role they play in our lives.

I would never in a thousand lifetimes encourage rape, I broadcasted a joke that many clearly misunderstood and have found offensive and I sincerely apologize, the intention however was to highlight an unfortunate trend and the ridiculously flawed comparison between money & the worth of a woman.

So to all women, the ones that make our lives colorful, the ones we owe our lives..literally, our pride, our money choppers, the true stronger vessels, this is me, Bright Onyekwere Okpocha saying, I no dey crase to promote rape?

Accept my humble apologies if it was misunderstood, it wasn’t meant that way by a long shot. One love’, Basketmouth wrote.

The comedian has done right by tendering an apology but it seems not to have cushioned the blows still coming in as fans are still attacking him on social networks.

Pathetic Story Of A Nigerian Whose Kidney Was Stolen In Malaysia

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 6 Jan 2014 08:36:00 -0800

We saw this story and we thought it wise to share it. It’s touching and shocking and we hope we all learn from it.

I’m 26 years old and last year after graduating from one of the Polytechnics in Nigeria, I couldn’t get a job. I needed to travel out of the country to better my life and that of my family. I planned on going to Turkey but fell into the hands of dupes who gave me fake documents and I was thrown out of the Turkish embassy during my interview and almost got arrested.

Standing outside, I met an old acquaintance, a young guy I met through a mutual friend. I found myself telling him about my plight and how I had been duped into paying for fake documents.I told him how my dad sold his plot of land to ensure I traveled. How was I going to tell them their money went down the drain?

He then told me the best thing was to tell them I got the visa , so when my dad sends money for my flight ticket, I use it to go to Malaysia. He said he had an agent who would help me and also give me a job once I get there. He said several guys had gone to Malaysia too.

I told my excited parents that I got the Visa and would need money for my flight. I raised 600 thousand naira which was sent to the agent I had never met and was given a 1 month visa. I got to Malaysia expecting to see the agent but never did. It was 3 weeks, no job, and paying my hotel bill, I had exhausted all my money. The so-called agent I had been calling suddenly switched off his phone. It was one week to the expiration of my visa.

So I decided to step-out and find other Nigerians who could help me. I was unsuccessful as the two guys I knew way back in Nigeria were club bouncers and had no connections. Was shocked because they claimed to be big boys.

I was on my way back from one of my unsuccessful outings. I was wondering what to do when a short Indian man intercepted me. “Hello my friend you looking for a job? I have a job for you. How will you like to earn 3 thousand dollars a month? I was speechless” He told me “Lets go and have a drink and talk about it”

I was so happy. He took me to a spot not far from where we met. It was like a private house and I saw two other Black boys who the man introduced me to saying they were also beneficiaries of the job. I was just about to ask what the job was when a waiter brought me a drink and he told me to give him a minute to bring papers which would show me my job description.

I don’t know what happened next. I found myself in an uncompleted building. I was confused at first and felt I was dreaming. But the cold was unbearable to be a mere dream and the sharp pain on the side of my belly was too intense to be real. I saw my shoes on the floor. I was confused. How did I get here? What about the job? Did I loose my chance by getting too drunk? Then I recalled I didn’t drink alcohol. I decided to put on my shoes when I noticed my legs were so swollen my shoes didn’t size me anymore..

I left the place with no money in my pocket, didn’t even know where I was. I tried to ask some Arabs to help but no one even listened to me. As I kept walking, I saw 2 security men and walked up to them. They were Nigerians and after telling them about my plight, they took pity on me and asked me to sleep in the factory where they worked for the night. They gave me some pain killers to relieve me.But advised me to go for a test the next day. The next day I told them I had no money to even go for a checkup and I was probably going to be deported as I had just one week for my visa to expire.

The elderly one told me there was a job opening as a life guard at some private beach. I couldn’t be more grateful.

I took up the job but the reoccurring belly ache which I kept suppressing with pain killers was getting more intense. Then after rescuing someone who almost drowned, the intense stress which accompanied that made me fall ill. And after several tests, they couldn’t ascertain what was wrong with me. I had used up all the little money I earned from my job as a life guard and I had no option but to give myself up to the authorities so I could be deported since I couldn’t pay for my flight ticket .

I returned to Nigeria seriously ill and my parents took me from one hospital to the other and they couldn’t detect what was wrong with me. We went to several prayer houses even very popular miracle pastors who claimed it was evil people from my village chasing me. Destiny killers they said. I was ordered to fast for 21 days and four days later I collapsed . Then my father ran into an old classmate who owned a hospital. He told him about my plight and he told my dad to bring me over.

He ordered a full scan to be run on me and while I was alone, he came to me and said” Young man, why did you have one of your kidney’s removed?” I was shocked ‘My Kidney? Sir I don’t get”. He smiled”At least if you want to have your kidney removed, do it well. You must have earned a few millions from it so what did you do with the money? Why didn’t you treat yourself properly?”””

I was confused and I insisted I knew nothing and he showed me the scan. Yes one kidney was missing. He also said the closure was perfectly done and skin was used to cover up the stitch. He said only Indians did such perfect cover-ups. After insisting there was a mistake somewhere, the doctor said the fact was one of my kidneys was removed and he told me the dangers of selling my kidney which many Nigerian youths do these days to make quick cash I was in tears and I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about then I recalled the Indian man I met who told me he had a job for me .

It hit me that that man had me drugged and took me to an unknown place and had my kidney removed and then dumped me in that building.

Now I’m a 26 year old man who put my parents through hell and I’m now living on one kidney and very ill. I keep hoping this one doesn’t develop a problem. I want youths to be careful of where they go to and who they interact with.I just found-out its a cartel and several African jobless youths have been trapped and have their kidneys removed without their knowledge ..

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 6 Jan 2014 08:25:00 -0800

A High Court in Ahoada East LGA of Rivers State was bombed this morning Monday January 6th, according to reports from the state.

The Will Nigeria reports

The bombing of the court where Justice Charles N. Wali usually holds court, reportedly occurred on Monday morning a few hours before a politically charged suit against Hon Evans Bipi, a member of the Rivers State House of Assembly and leader of a group of 6 lawmakers, who has been unlawfully parading himself as the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Justice Wali had about a month ago ordered Bipi to stop parading himself as Speaker of the House as the tussle over control of the state government between loyalists of the Presidency and the Rivers Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, lingers with an end in sight. No casualties have been reported over the bombing as at the time of filing this report.

Is Chika Ike now a Muslim or just channeling her inner Rihanna

Seeking inner sanctum or lusting after publicity? Apparently, Mosques have also become spots for celebs to take Instagram photos.

Hours ago, Nollywood actress Chika Ike posted a few photos of her visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi during her stay at the U.A.E. The actress neatly covered in all black seemed to be very excited snapping pictures in and outside the grand Mosque.

Interestingly, Pop singer Rihanna had also visited the same Mosque back in October 2013 (for no particular reason than to have a quick Instagram photo shoot) also well covered up in a black clothing. She was however kicked out of the Mosque for taking ‘inappropriate’ photos. Rihanna’s photos were a fashion trend for a hot minute.

We’d like to believe Chika Ike who recently bagged a Chieftaincy title in her village, visited the grand Mosque as a tourist (or maybe seeking something spiritual?) but with comments like ‘Taking off my footwear in style. Lol . #thingsthatmakemehappy #luxuriousbuildingandinteriors‘., that’s hard to believe.
