Premier League leaders Leicester City qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history on Sunday.

Leicester’s 2-0 win away to Sunderland allied to fifth-placed Manchester United’s 3-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur guaranteed the Foxes a top-four finish and with it one of the places on offer to English teams in European club football’s elite competition next season.


Jamie Vardy’s second-half double at the Stadium of Light powered Leicester, 5 000/1 rank outsiders for the English title before the start of the season, to victory over relegation-threatened Sunderland.

And in Sunday’s late kick-off match, United’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League suffered a setback when they conceded three goals in six second-half minutes as second-placed Spurs maintained their title bid.

United’s defeat left them 19 points adrift of Leicester, with only a maximum of 18 available from their final six league games of the season.

As a result, Leicester are now assured of a top-four finish.

This means that, at worst, they will be assured of a spot in Champions League qualifying should they suffer a slump that sees them come fourth, although a place in the tournament proper is the far more likely outcome.

The owner of the Daily Mail newspaper is considering a bid for the struggling US Internet company Yahoo.

A spokesman told the AP news agency that discussions were “at a very early stage” and there was no certainty a deal would take place.

The Wall Street Journal, where it was first reported, said the Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT) was in talks with private equity firms about an offer.

Yahoo is under pressure from shareholders to turn itself around.

The activist hedge fund investor Starboard Value recently called for the replacement of the entire board at the loss-making company, reports the BBC.

The spokesman for the Daily Mail owner said “it has been in discussions with a number of parties who are potential bidders”.

The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said that the potential bid could take two forms.

Deadline

In one scenario, a private-equity partner would acquire Yahoo’s core web business with theMail taking over the news and media properties.

In another scenario, the private-equity firm would acquire Yahoo’s core web business and merge its media and news properties with the Mail’s online operations.

Yahoo has set a deadline for April 18 for interested parties to submit their offers.

Time Inc is also reported to be weighing a bid together with a private equity firm.

Earlier this year, Yahoo said it would cut 15% of its workforce as part of chief executive Marissa Mayer’s ” aggressive” plan to return the company to profit.

The company has struggled to compete against rivals such as Google and Facebook.

Its shares have fallen around 30% since the end of 2014.

It has emerged that Arsenal could still walk away from a deal, that has taken Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze to The Emirates, if they are not impressed with the Nigerian starlets, by the time they turn 18 and are ready to sign a professional contract.

Nwakali was named the MVP for last year’s FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile, while Chukwueze was one of the tournament’s top scorers, as Nigeria won record fourth U-17 World Cup.


Arsenal have however chosen to make ‘minimal investment’ on Nwakali who turns 18 on June 5 and Chukwueze who clocks 18 in May 2017.

“Arsenal have only made an initial investment of about 10% on both players and have insisted they will only finalise a contract with them when they are 18 and have received their international papers,” a source close to the players told AfricanFootball.com

“It’s a huge risk the players’ academy in Nigeria is now taking because should it all go wrong, Arsenal have nothing to lose if they walked away.”

We started this column two Sundays ago to bring you exclusive interview on your favorite celebrities and our first feature was celebrity photographer, Genesis Williams.
On today’s Sunday Exclusive, we had the chance to chat with Samuel Robinson,‎ a young upcoming actor who has been acting for two years and has worked on projects such as Desperate Housewives Africa, Tinsel, Shuga, 8 Bars And A Clef, and also The Governor, an upcoming TV series from the stables of EbonyLife TV.
Chimmie of 9jabuzz got to chat with him and the buzzing young star got to tell us hos he started acting, the challenges he has experienced so far, and he tipped us with a bomb, an exclusive on how he got his Tinsel role.



Can we get to know you please?
Sure. My Name is Samuel Robinson, I’m an Actor with credits such as Desperate Housewives Africa, Tinsel, Shuga and a New TV Series Called The Governor with Hollywood Actress Caroline Chikezie which is out later this year.


So how did it start? What inspired you to be an actor?
I’ve always loved playing pretend but I guess my biggest inspiration came when at my very first audition, the Director stood up and shook my hand.

What movie was that?
Um a similar thing happened when I got Cast on Desperate housewives Africa. When I was done with my audition, one of the the casting directors called me back and whispered to me “if you really want to pursue a career in acting, you should go for it.

Was that when you finally decided you were going to be on the screens?
I made the decision to become a full-time Actor when I was 15 years old.


Samuel Robinson On Desperate Housewives Africa By EbonyLife TV
Done any movies before then?
No I hadn’t. I had just begun auditioning and was getting positive encouraging feedback.

Wow nice. So what was the first movie you ever featured in?
The first movie I was featured in was called Searching for the hood. I played a cameo character buchi.

Give us an insight on the movie? How was your first time like appearing in a movie?
The experience was thrilling. I felt like it was the start of greater things to come.

So you’ve been in the industry a little while. What do you think of Nollywood?Be truthful.
Nollywood is a fast growing industry. In the last few years, we’ve seen tremendous improvements in the way movies are being made. We still have a long way to go but we’re getting there.

So you recently entered the industry and I must say you doing well. I have mostly seen you on TV series. Do you prefer series to screen movies?
I can’t say. They’re very different. A TV series offers consistency but a movie is more likely to be considered for awards. I very much enjoy doing both.

So how was it working on Desperate Housewives, Tinsel and Shuga.
It’s was amazing. It was such a privilege to work with veteran Actors and Directors such as Kehinde Bankole and Biyi Bandele. I learnt a lot from working on those projects and grew in my career.

You played the role of Akin Bello in DHWA. Was that the role you auditioned for?
I auditioned for Akin. Out of Over 70 people for the same role, the Producer Quinty Pillay told me I was her First Choice And I was Walt Disney’s first choice. I have to say, I quite enjoyed playing Akin Bello. I really like deep troubled characters. I feel it brings out the best of my acting ability and Akin Bello did that very well.

On your affair with Aisha, how did you pull that. Like it looked like you two connected so easily. Ever acted together before.
I had never acted with Susan the girl who plays Aisha before Desperate Housewives Africa. She’s a naturally gifted actress and that really helped. I think the most important thing is that we both understood our characters well and how to interpret them.



So what connection did you feel with your character. Akin was a mental and disturbed kid who had just lost his mom to suicide and had been sent to mental institute by his dad. As Akin, did you feel hatred for your fictional dad? Was there anytime you wished Rhume didn’t commit suicide and when Aisha mom stopped you from seeing her daughter, what were your feelings as Akin.
Akin is a fighter. He’s been through a lot but yet still fights for and is optimistic about a better future. Oh yes Akin felt a lot of hatred towards his father. His mother died and his father acted like it was nothing, like he didn’t care. Akin loved his mother so much and would have given anything to be with her again. Aisha was the only person who didn’t think he was crazy she was someone who made him feel normal and the thought of loosing that upset him very much.

Tell us a little about your role in upcoming ELTV Series The Governor?
I play the Son of the Governor who is played by Hollywood Actress Caroline Chikezie and that’s all I can say for now.

How do you get into your characters when given a role. Any process?
I try my best to see in between the lines. It’s not just about what the character is saying for me. I try to know what he’s thinking, what he’s feeling, why he’s doing the things he’s doing. I’m very thorough.

Ok. Where do you see the Nollywood industry in the next 10 years?
I see much progress happening. In ten years Nollywood should be making much more international standard movies. The Nigerian film industry should be the 2nd biggest if not the first in 10 years.

What’s the hardest role you’ve ever played and have you ever rejected playing a role before?
The hardest role I’ve played was Young Victor on a movie called 8 Bars And A Clef (8barsandaclef.com) it was shot over 2 years ago. Hopefully it’ll be out this year. I’ve rejected several roles. I often reject roles because I felt like I couldn’t relate to the characters in any way and I wouldn’t do them justice.

Personal Questions

Which day and year were you born?
I was born on the 30th of June 1998

Are you currently in a relationship?
I currently am not in a relationship. I am very very single. (Laughs)

If you were not acting what would you have been doing?
If I was not acting, I would either be a singer or a software developer.

Tell us something to wow us and our readers. Something exclusive that no one knows or your fans are not aware of. Either in the past or present.
Well I never told anyone how I got a role on Tinsel. I was at the m-net office in Ikeja Gra auditioning for something else when I was approached by a lady who gave me a script and told me that the character I was reading for had already been cast but I had a chance if I did well. I still had no idea it was Tinsel. So I read the script got cast and signed a contract that same day. It was like a dream. I felt bad for the young man who had previously been cast his name was Peter Finn I think but he works as a super model now in America so I’m over feeling bad (laughs).

Ok thank you Samuel for the time to chat with us.
It was a pleasure having this interview.

Wizkid took to Linda Ikeji's Instagram page to blast her today for writing an article on him owing his house rent for his Lekki house, and the Landlord giving him quit notice, saying she slept with his director, and he dumped her.

We're all aware that these two have been quarreling for a very long time; they only used this opportunity to bring it to the media.

See snapshot of what Wizkid posted to fire at her.



She took to her blog to deny the allegation. She wrote:

"First and foremost, I've never met Wizkid one on one. I've only seen him once in real life on stage at a show a few years ago. I've never met anybody who is his director. Guess he put that line in his comments to defame me. You that mad that people now know the house is not yours? Lol.

Trust me, if I knew someone was Wizkid's director, I'd rather kill myself than sleep with him or any other entertainer for that matter (except maybe he's my husband..hehe) because I know how some of these entertainers are...they kiss and tell a lot. You can't afford to be messing around in their circle. So, no, I have NEVER slept with Wizkid's director. I live a celibate life..most of the time. (Though, that has to end soon...I'm getting old and missing out on that part of life...lol)

I've always been an advocate of women respecting their bodies and owning their own. And I feel sex should only happen when you're in committed relationship (that is if you can't wait till marriage) and I recommend celibacy for a long as you're not committed to someone. There's absolutely no dignity in sleeping around and messing around with different men. It's ugly and God don't like ugly. So no, I'm not that woman, and will never be that woman. Nice try, Wizkid!

Having said that, I'm sure, you wonder why Wizkid is so mad at me? To be honest, I don't know either. All I know is that his beef with me started a long time ago but he decided to start bashing me online after I refused a meeting with him. A few months ago, he asked his PR people to contact me, that he wanted to talk to me. For some reason, he thought I didn't like him and I was hurting his image online. He wanted to see how I could write more positive things about him but I turned down the meeting. Not that I have anything against him, I sincerely don't! I think he's an amazing talent and one of the few music stars in Nigeria with a midas touch. So this wasn't personal. I just didn't want to meet him. If he lobbies me then it means I won't be able to write anything about him anymore...and my job is to write...about everything, including entertainers.

I am cordial with some of them...many of them I have never met. I try to stay away from gatherings where they are because the more friends you make in the entertainment industry, the less you can write. And that will inadvertently affect your work. The few ones that I call acquaintances, it's hard to write about them because you feel you're cool with them and even when you write, they call you to complain. So, the fewer 'friends' I have in the entertainment industry, the better my job will be.

So Wizkid can bash me all he wants...but I will continue to do my job. Maybe he thinks the more he bashes me, then I will stop writing about him? Won't work. But meanwhile, if he tells a lie about me, I will address it. LIB plans to be around for a long time...some of these people will come and go!

Thanks everyone and Wizkid fans for reading my response.

Oh and by the way, did I mention that his Porsche car is also on hire purchase? Oh shit, I just mentioned that! And no, darling, you're not 25! We know your real age! Continue to have an amazing career while I watch and continue to celebrate you."

Let's watch the drama as it unfolds. By the way, Linda na you find trouble first sha

An Open Letter To President Buhari On Fuel Scarcity and Crises - www.9jabuzz.com.ng

Your Excellency Sir,


I write you this piece not as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but as the minister of petroleum resources appointed by yourself on the 11th of November, 2015.

You seem to have forgotten that you are the minister of petroleum resources and may have completely relinquished your responsibilities to the minister of state of petroleum resources— Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, who to me, to a reasonable extent has been up and doing.

You seem to have neglected the fact that you are directly answerable to Nigerians as the Minister of petroleum resources, and owe it to Nigerians to make the product readily available and affordable.

As a reminder of what you already know- the fuel scarcity has fully gripped major cities in the country and contributing negatively to an economy that is still struggling to pick its stand.

Pathetic as it may, your ministry has failed Nigerians over its inability to end the lingering fuel scarcity, as this unabated scarcity of the product has contributed to the high cost of goods and service.

The Honourable Minister of petroleum Sir, you are on your way in setting the record of the longest reign of fuel scarcity in the history of the republic under your watch. As since you have been sworn in, it has been from one scarcity to another.

Although, one cannot be-little or underestimate the efforts of the junior minister of petroleum resources who also happens to be the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)- Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, in revamping the sector. But Sir, your unnecessary and unwarranted silence and carefree attitude before every short statement is issued on the lingering scarcity is worrisome. It suggests that you may have forgotten or may have become unconscious of the fact that you head the ministry that is currently failing Nigerians to make available and affordable the product that is key to the economy and of importance to the day to day activities of the people.

The unending scarcity that has in-turn led to an increase in pump price of the product calls for your urgent attention in the sector and a swift reaction in finding a lasting solution to this menace. It is sickening and shameful that Nigerians would have to wait on long queues for hours that could have been channelled in doing other productive things just to a get a few litre of fuel.

Your ministry cannot continually fail to provide the basic need of the people and unnecessarily make Nigerians go through pains for a product we have in its raw form and expect the people to be pleased with it. All that you have said and perhaps done about the scarcity is still very much infinitesimal as compared to the pains Nigerians go through on a daily basis to get this product for their respective use.

You may have actually chosen not to react to the issue as the president, but you owe it to Nigerians as the minister of petroleum resources. Nigerians owe you responsible for failing them in this regard.

Sir, if holding both position as minster of petroleum resources and president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria seem too cumbersome for you, let go of one and concentrate on the one you think you can deliver better. Your excuses so far for the scarcity would not put food on the masses` table and will not save the soul of those that have lost their lives as a result of this scarcity. Get the job done sir if you can. If you can`t, FIRE yourself and get a replacement for yourself as soon as possible and don’t just be there as a figurehead.

Those calling for the minister of state- Dr. Ibe Kachikwu resignation are muddling things up. They should be calling for your resignation not his.

There is a reason why you choose to appoint yourself as the minister of petroleum resources. But it’s a pity the reason is not being felt by Nigerians. Your self-appointment as a minister in that sector has made little or no impact on the lives of the people.

Perhaps the minister of state is choked up. Maybe the work is too much for him. Maybe he is not getting the overall assistance he needs from you as his direct boss because of your busy schedule. Maybe he needs to share his portfolio with someone. A full minister appointed to do the job will no doubts dedicate more time for the job than you do now. Think about this!

Nigerians have suffered so much and so long in the name of fuel scarcity and the pains are becoming very much unbearable. Every passing second that the scarcity lingers on is a slap on your portfolio and a shame on our nation which nature has blessed with the product in its raw form.

This is not an act of unnecessary wailing; it is a passionate wake up call to you and your ministry.

Arrest the situation now and put it to rest once and for all.

Yours sincerely,

Ogundana Michael Rotimi.

A group that claims political alliance with a former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, says it will raise N64 billion as a birthday gift to Mr. Tinubu, but said the money will go into helping less privileged Nigerians, including the physically challenged, internally displaced persons and the aged.

It’s the countdown to the spring premiere of hit TV series, “Empire” and they’ve decided to surprise us a bit.

CoverGirl revealed on the 22nd of March that it is partnering with FOX’s Empire. The two brands are coming together for a line of cosmetics featuring distinct looks tied to characters Tiana Brown (Serayah), Anika Calhoun (Grace Gealey), Rhonda Lyon (Kaitlin Doubleday) and Becky (Gabourey Sidibe).

It was announced first by Empire’s leading lady Taraji P. Henson who unfortunately and surprisingly didn’t get a covergirl look for her role as Cookie Lyon.



We are yet to understand why a massive role like that of Taraji P. Henson shouldn’t be included in the covergirl line-up. Perhaps bigger things are in store for the actress. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the show itself, it’s to never underestimate Cookie.

So, Empire fam, are you a Tiana, Anika, Rhonda or Becky? Peep tutorials of each of the four looks here, via YouTube, and stay tuned for the Season 3 premiere of Empire on Wednesday, March 30.

On March 20, 2016, Fiston Mwanza from the Democratic Republic of Congo won the Etisalat Prize for Literature, walking away with £15,000 and a one year Fellowship at the University of East Anglia, mentored by Professor Giles Foden, writer of award-winning book “The Last King of Scotland” for his debut novel, Tram 83.

He won two South Africans were finalists for the prize: Penny Busetto, with the novel: “The Story of Anna P as Told by Herself”, and Rehana Rossouw, with the book: “What Will People Say?”


The night also graced musicians like Darey Art-Alade and award winning Asa and also saw the poem reading by award-winning poet and spoken word orator Efe Paul.

Well, nothing makes an event more interesting than a red carpet, or in this case a black carpet, because after all the long speech and round of applause, we’d still walk down the carpet for pictures.

And as we promised, here are the pictures of the Etisalat Prize for Literature black carpet.
