Following the just concluded Headies Award, fans have begun to raise questions regarding the shocking reality that one of Nigeria’s most talented contemporary musicians; Burna Boy has never won the award.

There is no questioning about Burna Boy’s talent and since his mainstream breakout in 2012, the singer has never been off the radar. Although he has been repeatedly nominated by the award even in the 2013 Next Rated Category (which was won by Sean Tizzle), Burna Boy has never lifted a plaque.

He was also nominated in this years; Best Reggae/Dancehall category (which was won by 2Baba) and the Best Collaboration category for his input on Skales’ “Temper”, which was won by Tiwa Savage with the Wizkid-assisted “Ma Lo”.

Nigerian singer, Niniola has apologised to her fans over her poor performance at the Headies award night.

The singer, while giving reasons for performing below standard, said she had not practised with the band as she had just returned from a trip to Owerri.

Nini in a series of tweets on her Twitter page wrote: “I honestly was not going to address this issue but I was very firmly convinced within me that I owed each and every one of you a detailed explanation on why I had a performance that was far below the usual expectation of my performances.

“I had flown in from Owerri after a performance yesterday (the evening of the Headies), to grace the Award event that has served as a platform for us as entertainers and I unfortunately could not rehearse with the Band or even work on any performance set for the Show.

“I am thankful to everyone that messaged and called to enquire about my performance at the Headies Awards. It shows a clear understanding of the typical nature of my stagecraft.

“I promptly informed the organizers that I would not be performing as I am very particular about my Brand and the performance delivery I give to my friends and supporters that have helped my career to the point that it is today.”

Niniola performed on stage at the 12th edition of Headies alongside Davido, Tiwa Savage, Danfo Drivers, Johnny Drile and others.

The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Zakari Kazaure, while assuring Corps Members posted to serve in Taraba State of adequate security has warned then against evangelism.

He insisted that the concern of the corps members should be to serve and not to go and indoctrinate the host communities

Kazaure said these on Wednesday in Jalingo when he visited Corps members currently undergoing orientation course at the NYSC camp, Sibre, near Jalingo.

Represented by the Director of administration and management, Alhaji Habibu Kurawa, the DG said that the NYSC management was aware that elections were around the corner and had put in place measures to ensure the safety of each corps member posted to the state.

“I can assure you that we don’t wait till the election before working for the security of Corps members.

“We have put in place measures to ensure that your accommodations are well guarded and officials on the ground have instructions to collaborate with the relevant security agencies in your respective places of Primary Assignment to guarantee your safety.

“Let me, however, warn you that you are posted to go and serve and not to go and evangelise. Your concern should be to serve and not to go and indoctrinate your host communities. Conversion of souls is not your concern,” Kazaure said.

He urged the Corps members to conduct themselves well and be good ambassadors of their states, tribes, and schools.

He noted that the society expects a lot from the corps members and urged them to work hard to live up to the expectations.

The DG called on the corps members to avail themselves of the opportunities in the state to build themselves for self-sufficiency rather than looking for white collar jobs that are rarely available.

One of the Chibok girls abducted in 2014 Lydia Joshua, has given more details about her time in captivity.

According to Joshua, they did not drink water unless it rained.

Joshua, who was unable to freely speak due to some government restrictions told her family about the hardship they endured while in captivity.

Matina Butu, Joshua’s aunt had this to sy.

“The girls suffered, especially the ones who refused to marry Boko Haram. The Boko Haram people would ask the girls to raise their hands if they wanted to marry any of the men. The girls who did not express interest were starved,” said Butu who left Borno for Lagos as a result of Boko Haram activities.

“When it rained, they would be drenched and their clothes would dry up on their bodies. It is also when it rains that they get to drink water. Lydia told her stories of sleeping beside snakes, going several days without food and sewing clothes with what she described as hand needles.

“They slept on flooded floors for three years. It’s only God that kept Lydia alive and I am still shocked. Lydia told me they ate leaves and when they gave them food, it was never enough until the negotiations for their release started taking place and they started giving them food.”

Trader And Business Woman Get Three Years Imprisonment For Forging Death Certificate

A trader, Kingsley Osarogiagbon and a businesswoman, Tina Edosa, were on Thursday brought before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court charged with N5.5 million theft and forgery of a death certificate.

The accused are facing a three-count of conspiracy, stealing and forgery.

Police Prosecutor Peter Nwangwu said the accused committed the offences between August 29, 2,015 and September 8, 2015 at No. 334, Super in Agege on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.

“The case was reported to the police by Mrs. Racheal Igbinekewa, one of the three wives of the late Edosa

“While the complainant was still mourning, the accused connived and obtained a letter of administration from the Justice Ministry with a forged death certificate of the deceased.”

He also alleged that the accused stole N5.5million from the deceased’s benefits and converted it to their own personal use.

“All efforts made by the complainant for the accused to refund the money proved abortive.’’

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Sections 287 and 365 provide three-year jail term each for offenders.

Section 411 stipulates two years for conspiracy.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Chief Magistrate Y.O. Aje-Afunwa granted the accused bail in the sum of N850, 000 each with two sureties each in
like sum.

Aje-Afunwa said the sureties must be gainfully employed with an evidence of two years tax payment to the Lagos
State Government.

The Chairman of Anambra East Local Government Area, Pius Ifeadi, has allegedly beaten up the Head of Local Government Administration of the area, Mr. Chike Obuekwe, for raising the alarm over diversion of the council’s funds.

It was gathered that Obuekwe was beaten up after he wrote a memo to the council chairman to draw his attention to what he called massive corruption and diversion of funds in the council.

Ifeadi, known as governor Willie Obiano’s political son, did not take the revelation lightly.

“He invited Obuekwe to his office and attacked him physically, using his shoes and other instruments available, leaving him wounded, particularly in his head,” a source in the LGA told SUNDAY PUNCH.

Obukwe petitioned the Chairman of Local Government Service Commission over the attack.

Obuekwe’s petition, obtained by our correspondent from the Local Government Service Commission read in part, “In the course of the discharge of my duties, I discovered that illegal collections were going on, particularly around the waterways by some people who were agents of the Transition Committee Chairman and I did my best to expose some illegal collections. I attach proofs of those illegal collections and I mark same Annexure B.”

Obuekwe’s lawyer, Gab Muoneke, had petitioned the Anambra State Commissioner of Police about the development.

When contacted on the telephone, Ifeadu admitted having “a little misunderstanding” with Obuekwe but said the matter had been resolved.

Speaking after he was discharged from the hospital, Obuekwe appealed to the governor and the Local Government Service Commission to look into the matter, especially the physical assault on him.

Actress,Omoni Oboli has issued out a plea to those tolerating domestic violence to flee because no marriage is worth dying for .

The married mother of three was reacting to the murder of fast -rising Nigerian singer ,Alizee and her 4 year old daughter by her Danish husband. (here)

������ Arrrrrghhhh I’m so heartbroken! What a waste! Why the innocent baby girl as well?!!! I’m sick to my stomach!!! I decided I HAD to make #WivesOnStrikeTHEREVOLUTION because I was sick and tired of hearing about domestic violence.

I used the tool I had, my voice which is film to shed light on a very scary topic! I followed closely a case early last year and this is what I told the victim who thankfully, narrowly escaped with her life…’my dear, marriage is great I know, I’m in it but it’s not the only great thing in life. Life has plenty purpose outside of marriage. Once there’s any form of violence (and I’m speaking for both male and female) run for your life!

Forget about what people will say! You can only hear them if you are alive. Believe me, no marriage is worth dying for and nobody is indispensable! Don’t listen to society! Flee!!! If you have kids, take your kids and run!!! Do not ‘stay for the kids’! Even if you survive, they will grow up to hate you for it!

Don’t teach the next generation by your actions or inactions that domestic violence should be condoned or tolerated!’ Marriage nor be by force abeg! If you can’t stand the heat, leave the kitchen! If you can’t stand someone anymore or they offended you, leave them before you will say devil pushed you to kill them!

See my brother, my sister, run!!! We’ve gotten many messages from people who were touched by our movie and who now have the courage to speak up and seek help. Pls don’t die in silence. Talk! Shout! Cry!

I don’t know what happened in this case but if this man truly murdered this beautiful woman, his wife and his own child may God…may the law take its full course! We are watching! #justiceforalizee #EndDomesticViolence #LetLoveLead #RipAlizeeAndDaughter #StopDomesticViolence
