PoliticsRe: I’m Contesting Against Two-and-half People – Agbaje Mocks Tinubu, Fashola,ambode by 30pence: 10:48pm On Feb 01, 2015
[quote author=argon500 post=30334345]The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has berated chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for maligning him.

He spoke at the party’s rallies, which took place in Amuwo and Apapa local government areas.

“E be like say dis governorship election, na two-and-half people Jimi Agbaje dey contest against”, he stated in pidgin, referring to public attacks launched against him by APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Babatunde Fashola and their candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.

Describing Tinubu as the puppeteer of the two others, Agbaje said it was strange to be described as too old by people in the same 50s age bracket as himself, especially as their party presented a 72-year old as its Presidential Candidate.

Agbaje said the government was lashing back at him for exposing the cases of impunity and weakness in the administration of Lagos State.

According to Agbaje: “To do well is our children passing their exams. To do well is for poor people to have houses they can afford. To do well is for people to have a suitable environment to practice their trades and run their businesses. Whether they worked hard or not is not the issue. They have worked hard but they have failed.

“This election, this one, God has given it to us. They cannot continue. To continue is when you have passed. Have they passed or failed?” to which the huge crowd yelled “Failed!”

Agbaje said the recent spate of attacks on his person were a reflection of desperation on the part of the APC.

Speaking to a crowd at the rally ground opposite FESTAC Gate, Lagos, Agbaje used the opportunity to reply Fashola’s tirade that the he was a tax evader, too old to be Governor and that he lacked experience in public office.

“This election is not about experience but qualification. ‘Jimi Agbaje no get experience for political office, but e qualify,’ the candidate added in pidgin.

The crowd cheered as Agbaje reminded them that his critics also lacked public service experience before they took over the reins of power in the state.

“They even talk about experience. They say I don’t have government experience. Tinubu was just a Senator for three months before becoming Governor. For me what is most important is qualification and I am eminently qualified to be the Lagos Governor,” he added.

According to him, the experience that Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode could lay claim to had been rubbished in the two public debates at which the two contestants met, one organised a fortnight ago by the Archbishop Vining Memorial Church and another last week by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

“One by one, I go give them T.K.O.,” he joked.

Dismissing the tax evasion allegations levelled against him Wednesday by Fashola, Agbaje said: “Yesterday, dem say Jimi Agbaje na tax evader. But as God dey catch person, just recently, na im dem send me congratulations say I dey pay my tax well-well.”

He made reference to a letter of commendation written by the Lagos State Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Ayo Gbeleyi.

Describing all the allegations as unwarranted and malicious, Agbaje said: “My prayer be say as dem dey throw mud for my body, e no go stick to me. E go backfire!”

Addressing the salient issues bedevilling the administrating of Lagos State, Agbaje acknowledged the hardship occasioned by several policies of the government.

He assured non-indigenes that discrimination against them, their interests and their businesses would dissipate as soon as he came to power.

Contesting the government’s claim that Lagos was overcrowded and that a policy to manage the influx of strangers would be established, Agbaje said: “Trying to deport strangers from other states is like trying to stop the flow of a river with your hand. Is it possible?”

Agbaje also promised that the notorious Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) would be rebranded, not scrapped, saying, the problem with the agency was that it had derailed from its statutory duty of traffic management to imposing draconian fines on motorists in order to generate funds for the government.

He also said that as part of his human-face policies, ‘okada’ (commercial motorcyclists) would be taken into consideration in formulating policies concerning their operations.

MalcoImX:
Halima Buhari Sheriff, daughter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
has assured that her father, if voted president, will right the wrongs facing Nigeria presently.
Halima who spoke exclusively with YNaija.com while on the APC nationwide campaign trail said the ex-general “will get Nigeria out of the mess it’s in.”
|
Read excepts of the interview below:
YNaija: What kind of dad is Gen. Buhari?
Halima: He’s like every normal father, he is very realistic and he likes cracking jokes. He is very caring and also very sensitive to our feeling and you know – how we feel about a thing. He doesn’t coerce us to do anything we don’t want to do. He is a very understanding dad unlike the image of him people have externally. People say he’s a very stern, strict person but in all, he has a very soft side.
YNaija: Do you have any children?
I have a 7-year-old daughter, Aisha. That’s his grand daughter.
YNaija: And what’s she like with her?
Aw, he calls her Laraba which means Wednesday in Hausa and it’s considered a very lucky day. I had her like in the very early hours of the day so he just said, “Oh! her name is Laraba !” and he continued calling her that.
He’s very caring towards his grandchildren. He plays a lot with them. He’s fond of them – gives them all sorts of funny traditional nicknames….
YNaija: So he’s running for president, can you tell us, as his daughter, what kind of president do you think he is going to be?
Well, firstly, because this is a different era, it’s not 1983, not the military regime, it’s a civilian regime, a democratic regime, he will certainly be more tolerant and passionate about leading Nigeria. He’ll get Nigeria out of the mess it’s in – be it corruption, insecurity -which is making thousands of Nigerian lose their lives. It is
affecting everybody in one way or the other, this is something he’s very passionate about.
He will make sure he gets the job done.

Itz nearly impossible to get a governor that has achieved wat obi has achieved within his tenure and still kept a positive account balance within his tenure.

Obi's case is special in the sense that he never borrowed a kobo during his tenure, despite the stipend that accrues to the state from the federal.

Rather than borrowing, he still buys up other state's treasury bills hence; making most states a debtor to Anambra.

CelebritiesRe: Top 12 Nigerian Artistes Who Moved From The Church (Choir) To Secular Music by 30pence: 11:48am On Dec 07, 2014
lalasticlala:
Most Nigerian musicians started from the church, either as singers in choir, praise leaders or as drummers, before moving over to secular music much later in their lives.
Here is a list of top Nigerian musicians that started from the church.

1 DON JAZZY
Where did music start for you?

I started music in the church. In the choir at some point… (Pauses) you know what? I don’t want to spill everything yet. I’ll be writing an autobiography, my dad and I are working on it. There’s no name for it yet but he has called it ‘The Making of a Don’

2 DBANJ
Tell us a little about your background and how you got into music?

I went to Nigeria Military School, Zaria. I always thought I was going to be in the military just like my father but that didn’t happen. But I definitely believe that’s where all my energy is from. I lost my brother who was also in the military to a plane crash when I was still in secondary school and I think that’s where everything changed for me musically. He died in 1994 and I was in school when it happened. I went home for his burial and when I got home, what I saw was that they laid down all his belongings on his bed in his room and the harmonica was one of the items I saw that i was drawn to. I took it back to school and started playing with it. No one taught me how to play the harmonica but the more I played, the better I became. So for me I think that’s where the love for music grew.

I joined the choir and played every instrument I could lay my hands on. At every opportunity I got, I tried to express myself through music. Then I left for the United Kingdom, when I got there I realized that I was more than just a singer and that I had the ability to entertain, so I started trying to study what it took to be an entertainer. It was there I met my friend and partner Don Jazzy and together, we found and built one of Africa’s biggest and most successful record labels ‘Mo’Hits Records’. We came back to Nigeria in 2004 and launched my first single‘Tongolo (What is the koko)’

3 J MARTINS
How did you start your career?

I started with singing. Actually,. My mum was a Choir mistress so I think the seven of us caught the singing bug from her. I’m the third in the row and the second son. From singing, I took to playing musical instruments. And I got into production while in secondary school in Onitsha. . Along the line, I went to three schools when we moved to Enugu. Later, I did prelim in Mass Communication at the Institute of Management and technology (IMT) and then had a direct entry rather than internship.
In the six years that I spent there , I was fully into production because it’s in Enugu that you have legends like Pat Obasi .Then, Glorious Praise was the name of my production and I tried not to be among the noise makers. I produced for only gospel singers back then and I’m still actively involve in Church choir till today. I play the keyboard for my pastor and for my God father. I had a rough time growing so, Dr David Ogbuenu, a pastor put me through school.

4 TIMAYA
The‘Ukwu’singer who was a guest on the 9th episode of ‘The Juice’ season two with the host, Toolz, talked about his success and musical journey.
When asked about his music career. He said:

‘I started from church, before starting up as a backup for Eedris Abdulkareem for three years before exploring my music career.’The singer presently has three albums and one collaborative album with Dem Mama Soldiers.

5 WIZKID
When did you finally decide you were going to do music?
I started when I was 11 years, in church; and from then on, I’ve been in love with music, and everybody in my family knows that. I dropped an album in church. I performed in church. I go from church to church for performance. I did a couple of concerts and later, when I told my parents that I wanted to take music serious, they refused. They told me if I wanted to do this professionally, I had to stay in school. I had to stay in school and again do music professionally. So, it was like a double task for me. I’m thankful to God for where I am now.

Starting from the church to secular music, what was the transition like?

–If you listen to my songs, you will see I’m always thankful to God. My relationship with God is private; it’s between me and God and I don’t feel anybody should come and judge based on what I do. The music I make is for the pleasure of it. The music I make, I thank my God as well.

6 PSQUARE
"But our musical gene came from the person we call the heart of our family, our mum, Josephine Okoye. She used to be a member of a choir when we were growing up. She would go to rehearsals and she took us along. We would watch her as she sang with the choir. So, we got the music disposition from her. When she was younger, our mum was a seamstress,a tailor. But in later years she was deeply involved in the running of a ministry called Friends Of Jesus Catholic Prayer Ministry. She was a pastor, in her own church. She had wanted Paul to be a pastor, and me a Lawyer. When she started her ministry, we were her choir, her choristers."

7 BANKY W
BN: How did you get into music?
Banky W: I’d been flirting with music all of my life. I don’t remember exactly how old, but I know I was incredible young when I knew that I wanted to be a singer. What tends to happen is, as a child, you have dreams of what you want to do whether its being a policeman or a fire man but you take care of life. You go to school, work but you don’t do anything about the dream. Everybody who knew me knew that I sang because I was always singing in school or church. When I was in university in New York, I got together with a friend of mine and was like, ‘we are always joking about this music thing, if we don’t put money towards it, it will pass us by’. So at that point I hit the studio, I probably started recording seriously around 2002 and it built it from there.

8 IYANYA
Iyanya used to sing in his church's choir and was the choirmaster for the children's choir at age 5.
In an an interview, he spoke about his transition from being a chorister to doing circular music:

From rapping as a chorister to R&B/Afrobeat

"I did not think I was prepared for rap. Even when I started as a rapper, I had somebody who wrote the rap for me. It was not like I wrote the rap myself. It was not even my idea. It was the idea of somebody who said he liked the way I carried myself and he thought it would be nice if I rapped. Then I always wore baggy jeans with big t-shirts, so he thought I would make a good rapper. Even back then when I was rapping, I was in the choir."

9 WANDE COAL
Wande coal like most great musicians, he started singing in the teenage choir in church where he was with a group member, Chuddy K. He got his break in the Nigerian entertainment industry as a dancer. He continued improving on his vocal skill and got signed to Don Jazzy’s Mo’ Hits Records in 2006.He featured on D’banj’s ‘Rundown’ ‘Funk You Up’ album and on singles like ‘Loke’, ‘Tonosibe’ and ‘Why Me’. His first singles ‘Ololufe’ has been described as one of the greatest love song written bya Nigerian, while his debut album ‘Mushin 2 Mohits’, released in 2009 sold over 3 million copies. He is now a staunch member of Marvin Records.

10 TEERY G
And yet, before the (free) madness, before the fame, before being made, Terry was merely saved. Saved as in born again C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N.

“I come from a christian background. My dad is an elder in church while my mother is a deaconess and at one time she used to be a choir mistress.” It was Mrs. Amanyi that put the love of music in her four children, but it was her first born that took to it the most.
“I used to go all the time to the church with my mom. I already knew how to sing so I ended up in the choir. Quickly, I started developing interest in musical instruments. I picked up the drums, graduated to the keyboards and even played bass [guitar],” Terry recalls holier times.
Tobi Banjoko, make-up artist and video girl, was a member of the congregation at Redeemed Christian Church of God, Praise Palace Parish, where the Amanyi’s worshiped and remembers Terry from that period. “He was a great talent. All he ever wanted to do was music. At that time he was already thinking of going professional with it and he had like close to fifty songs with a lot of them being gospel.”

“[Back] then I was this good boy, this church boy,” Terry tells of his hallowed beginnings.
“I used to do gospel music and love songs. I was already thinking about going secular, but I didn't want to go fully. So I was doing gospel and positive love songs without the 'romance' angle.” His musical and vocal influences at the time - Ron Kenoly, KurtCarr, Kirk Franklin, and [gulp] Celine Dion - would appear incongruous given his current unhinged incarnation. “You had to know what it took in order to sing. Nowadays in the secular music industry we don't sing.”

11 DARE ART ALADE
How did your romance with music start?

Having a father like I had, I got to hear things like “who is going to take after your daddy?” That got me thinking and asking myself if I could.
It started when I was about eight in the children’s choir of my church. While at CMS Grammar School, I led the choir. We would perform at functions. I was also a member of the choir of the Cathedral Church of Christ. Not satisfied, I enrolled for music lessons with the Musical Society of Nigeria, MUSON. I capped it by studying music at the University of Lagos. Some friends and I came together and formed a singing group called Chord Webs. We were doing everything,you just name it. My meeting with Adeniji landed me a regular gig at a night club in Victoria Island.

12 WAJE
Waje was born in Akure, Ondo State in Nigeria then moved to Benin city, Edo state where she was raised by her parents, Mr & Mrs Iruobe. As a young and gifted singer, she once sang gospel tunes to the delight of the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa of the Word of Faith Church, Benin who was quite impressed by her gift and decided to cater for her all through her secondary school days. After which she moved to Nsukka for a degree in social work at University of Nigeria. While in school, Waje was very much with her musical side by making sure she performed in school concerts and fellowship. She made sure she listened and learned from legends she describes as her mentors, e.g. Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, etc.

fkaz:
So the equipment on the battle field are been use by un-trained army? That shows why military men abandon their armoury and run away anytime boko haram attack them, because they don't know how to use what they have in hand.
In my own opinion, i believe american knows nigeria has the men and equipment to crush boko haram, why not release some equipment to U.S for training so that it will be use effectively on battle field after training, instead of giving it to boko haram.
Sorry to say this,
You talk like person wey no go school,
smh

this will end soon immediately we kick Dr ebele Jonathan out. and the general take over
vote for change nt tribe or clan.
Wen niger delta militants were daring the country, obasanjo couldnt put off d heat, even with d whole artillery he comitted to that course, and with his experience as a general.

That shows that such issues were not best tackled by a military in agbada.

Again, this menace called bokoharam was well incubated and hatched under obasanjo & some other generals in the past. And only became a an adult under GEJ.

The whole thing has bn well machined politically to oust the president, and possibly bring in one of the supporters. Dont u think u playing into the gallery of such script writers.

My take on this is;
Dont let Bokoharam get wat they are indirectly yielding for, I.e. compulsory return of power to the purpoted power brokers that sees nigeria as their personal property.



Issues like this cant be resolved overnight.

As for me I can never tolerate a cheating partner......... It realy sucks......
For me, not bn transparent and open is a crime.
And wen trying to be open, I dont nd half lies.

Morale behind this: we're nt perfect, but any thing hidden, stands a good chance of happening over and over again.

Again any r/ship u're nt in the know of watz going on, then u're not in charge.

Note; if I get to find out myself w/out u telling me, U'll be ditched @ a good time with a good reason.

so we should cut tiwa savage some slack!!!!!!

Try to differentiate a persons real life from on the job requirements.

Ur best friend can suspend U from ur job if itz in d best intetest of the company/enterprise. That does'nt put an end to d friendship, especially if she's directed to do so.

Tiwa savage is trying to do best of wat d industry is and require of her. How many times have u seen her dress d way she dresses on stage outside the stage?

Did u not see her dressing wen she was representing Forte oil?

On a general note, I think she's bn a proffessional.

As for mini skirt and high heeled shoes?
No be today e start.
If u see my mumssie own eeeh, u go kolo.

Thanks and happy wknd house!

Hello,

Most celebrities use their Instagram pages to post cute selfies, but Tiwa Savage is using hers very differently:
to solicit votes for the awards she has been nominated for this year by spamming her instagram followers mercilessly!

On Saturday, 16th November, she posted this (Tiwa Savage as Best Female Artist in BenTV Awards 2014):
https://photos-c.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xpa1/1661288_727752910605834_1356053812_n.jpg

http://instagram.com/p/vas9H2xO_G/

Later on the same day, she posted this (Tiwa Savage as Best Female Artist in West Africa - AFRIMA Awards):
https://photos-e.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xfa1/10802398_688767077897284_1020868485_n.jpg

http://instagram.com/p/vbevpARO5T/

Then 3 days later, on the 18th of November, she posted yet another one (Most Gifted Female Music Video Of The Year - Channel O Awards):
https://photos-e.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xfa1/10748452_1526547594250388_1452169173_n.jpg

http://instagram.com/p/viiSYgRO1X/

She then started spamming her poor followers by posting the above picture with various captions 15 times in 3 days. Please make it stop! cry

If you think Eminado is the best female music video of 2014, do vote for her here: channelo-awards.dstv.com/Category/345/Nominee/3645
She so much deserve it.

Leave d negative publicity against her person n dont forget the EMINADO effect.

Professionals do know there's a difference in who you're on d job to who u're outside d job.

Wat u criticize shd be on d job, not on her personality, simple!

More power to her.
