Top Musician and superstar Davido has revealed in an interview with MTV Base that he is in communication with 13 different presidents.

The head of the 30 billion gang recalled how life was not always good for him and the internal issues he had with his personal life and family that detracted from his career path.

“When I released the song ‘Back then,’ I did not know that it was going to be that big.

“Then I went back to school and the love that I was shown was overwhelming, let alone the way girls began to treat me. That one song with the video made my father realise that I had the talent. And then, I did the song, ‘Dami Duro.'”

“The song became so big and I remember that the President at the time called my father to talk about me and the song. Even during my father’s business meetings with his friends, they would mention my name and the song.

“Before long, I started travelling and doing shows around the world. Now I have the numbers of about 13 presidents on my phone and if I call them, they would answer the call.

” Then the award came and it set me on another level.”

Nude photo model, Ama Richest, says if she ever falls victim to rape, she would have no one but herself to blame.

There was a frenzy on social media earlier last week with pictures of the model, with colourful inscriptions detailing the issues that dominated the headlines last year, on her bare body.

The pictures, taken by a photographer by name Kwesi Nikon, who describes himself as a nudist, stirred a lot of conversations on social media.

As some expressed horror over the images, others admired it simply as art.

Ama Richest, however, believes that if ever her nude pictures cause any man to commit the crime of rape, “well I’m going to blame myself,” she admitted.


She, however, added that “there is no way someone is going to rape me because I take very good care of myself.”


The model, who also owns and operates a pub, told Ady Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM that, despite the attempts to ridicule her, she is not ready to give up her career as a nude model.

She says she “will do more”.

According to her, it is the only job she knows, and she admits the income is good.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today, 14 January 2018, took delivery of the second batch of Super Mushshak trainer aircraft that the Federal Government had since ordered from Pakistan.



The Ilyushin 76 Strategic Airlifter aircraft that brought the new Super Mushshak aircraft touched down at NAF Base Kaduna at exactly 7.45 am today. The Chief of Logistics at NAF Headquarters, Air Vice Marshal Bello Garba, received the new aircraft on behalf of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.



A combined team of NAF and Pakistan Air Force (PAF) personnel were also on hand to assist in offloading the new aircraft, some parts of which came in crates. In addition, officials of the Nigerian Customs Service and the Nigerian Immigration Service were present to ensure necessary documentation. The newly delivered aircraft, which are capable of being used for acrobatics training, are all brand new and fitted with digital glass cockpit.



The newly received aircraft, five in number, form the final batch of a total of 10 Super Mushshak aircraft, the procurement of which the current Federal Government Administration initiated in Year 2016. As at 2015, local primary flying training in the NAF was almost grounded thereby necessitating the procurement of the Super Mushshak Aircraft. Consequently, with the delivery of the new Super Mushshak aircraft, primary flying training of NAF pilots at 401 Flying Training School (FTS), Kaduna has just received a boost. Without doubts, the delivery of the aircraft would go a long way in helping to sustain the process of building capacity to effectively prosecute the counterinsurgency operations in the North East as well as other forms of criminalities in the country.



It would be recalled that the NAF took delivery of the first batch of 5 brand new Super Mushshak Aircraft on 14 July 2017, following which the aircraft were inducted and deployed for primary training of NAF pilots. Furthermore, some NAF personnel had undergone training in Pakistan, as Instructor Pilots and technicians on the Super Mushshak aircraft, as part of the contract. The delivery went without any hitches and the Ilyushin 76 Aircraft has departed from Nigeria. The newly received aircraft will now be assembled in Nigeria by a team of PAF and NAF technicians prior to test flying and formal induction into the NAF.

The story of Mayowa Balogun, a young man who was abducted and robbed of his school fees (N120,000) on Friday in Osogbo was brought the to attention of the state government.
9:44 AM · Jan 13, 2018

The state government through the ministry of information yesterday presented a cheque of N150,000 to young Mayowa Balogun to enable him pursue his dreams for a University education.


Most importantly, we are working closely with the State Police command to ensure that the perpetrators of this dastardly act are brought to book.

I want to assure you all that Osun remains a safe destination and we will not rest on our laurels in ensuring the safety of lives and property in the state.

Ex Minister of Culture and Former Minister of Aviation of Nigeria, Femi Fani-Kayode has expressed his disgust towards the news that 7 northern governors have endorsed the president for a second term.


In his words:

The 7 northern APC governors that have endorsed Buhari for a 2nd term are a bunch of losers and scumbags.They are sadists, leeches,parasites and vampires who have fed fat off the blood of the innocent Nigerians that Buhari and his Fulani terrorists have shed over the last 3 yrs.

Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has rejected plans by the federal government to establish "cattle colonies" for Fulani Herdsmen and their cows in Abia State.



In a release signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Enyinnaya Appolos, the Governor stated that Abia state will not cede any part of her territory to Fulani herdsman as colony for cattle.



According to Governor Ikpeazu; "we reject any plan to establish cattle colonies for herdsmen in Abia State.



“We don’t have enough land for our agricultural activities and our people want more land.



“Giving away any part of Abia land as a colony to herdsmen, wherever they may be from, will be most unjust and unfair treatment to Abia State and her people who are largely farmers.



“Such alien land occupation will also cause unrest and crisis that may grow beyond what we can handle when it happens, so the best thing I think we should do is to reject such plans so that those behind it will know that Abia State is not party to it."



Thank you.

A Nigerian man identified as Augustine Otuokwa Ogar has constructed a hydro-electric power plant that would generate electricity for the people in his community. The 32-year-old man constructed a 200 megawatts mini hydroelectric power plant.

Ogar who is a graduate of electronic and computer technology built the power plant in Boki local government area, Cross River state.

The genius constructed the plant with locally sourced materials. It was gathered that the hydro-electric plant would convert the kinetic energy of flowing stream water into electric energy.

"When the turbine spins so does the electromagnetic field convert this mechanical energy into electric energy" he said and continue, "the flow rate of the stream water is low, because it’s not a dam or water fall, this is a small stream with low flowing water, Yet I was able to convert it to bring Pressure and fall like a dam."

According to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), President Muhammadu Buhari’s New Year address to Nigerians is depressing because it failed to address serious economic and security issues confronting the country.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement said Nigerians were again treated to another round of false claims and empty promises, which has become a routine in close to three years of APC-controlled Presidency.

“We already knew the pattern and we advised against it this year. We knew their New Year message would heighten Nigerians’ despondency rather than providing us hope,” he said.

“Instead of offering solutions or providing the indices for development, the Presidency deployed over 2000 words passing the buck, begging the question, making empty claims and attempting to appropriate achievements of the PDP administration.
