Oh my GOSH, London is Chelsea BLUE.

As Americans come to terms with the dastardly theatre killings in Colorado, the Nigerian community in New York was thrown into mourning, weekend, when a Mercedes Benz sports utility vehicle with some Nigerians hit a concrete support and rolled over.

The SUV burst into flames killing five of the seven passengers including two children.

The accident happened on Sunday in New York City where the cccupants of the car had come from a 2-day convention of the Arondizuogu Patriotic Union National Congress of North America.

Later that day, members of the group were in mourning as they entered and left the Jamaica Hospital Medical Centre where three of the survivors of the accident had been brought.

A grieving Inno Chima, a participant in the Saturday night gala, was quoted to ask: “Did God go to sleep on us?” The accident occurred around 3:15 a.m., and the police believe the S.U.V. was speeding, the authorities said.

Witnesses told investigators that the vehicle ran two red lights shortly before the accident, which occurred on Atlantic Avenue just east of the Van Wyck.

The vehicle struck a concrete support for the AirTrain to Kennedy International Airport, and flipped a number of times before coming to rest on the passenger side about 80 feet away, authorities said.

Then it ignited in flames.

During an interview outside the hospital, Mr. Chima said there was “casual drinking” at the Golden Terrace banquet hall, on Atlantic Avenue less than a mile from the accident site. But investigators do not believe that alcohol played a role in the accident, and emergency personnel did not detect the odor of alcohol at the crash scene, a law enforcement official said.

On the sidewalk outside Jamaica Hospital, Evelyn Anyaogu, from the Bronx, said she was a cousin of one of the people who died in the accident. Ms. Anyaogu identified her cousin as a Michigan woman, Nnenna Obioha, who was in her 50s or older. “She has the best heart in the whole world,” Ms. Anyaogu said. Ms. Anyaogu recalled how festive the night had been at the convention. “We danced our native dance,” she said, adding that it was a “very, very good time.”

But those memories quickly evaporated when Ms. Anyaogu received a call from the authorities to “tell me what happened.” “How do you cope?” she added. One mourner emerged from the hospital crying and chased several news photographers, threatening to hurt them.

Why is kidnapping too rampant in iboland? It is something that needs to be resolved by the Elders.

bashr8: [s]all the artist in mavin are A list artist[/s]
nigeria best producer and the richest nigerian musician after Psquare .

If Dr SID is A list artist, then nigerian music industry is wack
Which agency do you work for? To know Jazzy is next to Psquare on rich list. Some nigerians sabi spit trash. So 2face is not richer than Jazzy, because he is not an igbo man? For your information Jazzy is not an igbo man

@ 0:06 - 0:008 , did he say '' Jazzy, forget'' ?

Why the song, this short?. Great beat but the lyrics is average.Obviously,he rushed to flow on the beat. It shows he could do without Don jazzy's production, though. 6/10.

ACN will still win.

Many people thought TB Joshua has no child but today, to the glory of God, his first child is graduating from London School of Economics, School of Law!
Her name is Serah Joshua and she came out with second class honours upper division, only one point to first class honours!

The information was let out on the official facebook page of Prophet TB Joshua as seen in the image below.

Let us remember what the Bible instructs - When you take action in obedience to God, you will prosper!

Congrats Serah Joshua!

The mother of Paul and Peter Okoye of P-Square fame, Mrs. Josephine Okoye died five hours after a heart surgery in an Indian hospital at about 11pm (3am Indian time) on Wednesday.

The deceased, who was a devoted christian and church minister in Jos, Plateau State, died after a protracted battle with an undisclosed heart illness.

The late Mrs. Okoye was first admitted at St. Nicholas hospital, Lagos, but when there was no assuring development on her health, she was transferred to another hospital in Kolkata, India, where she eventually died last night.
Mrs. Okoye, who is popularly known as a major pillar and source of inspiration to the singing twin brothers (P-Square), had been in and out of the hospital for about four months before she eventually died.

She is survived by her Jos based husband, children; Ifeanyi, Henry, Jude, Lilian, Tony, Peter, Paul and Mary. She also had grand-children, one of which is Cameron, the son of Peter.

A condolence re gister has been opened in her honour at P-Square’s Omole Phase 1 residence. Friends and colleagues of the multiple award-winning singers have been visiting the house to commiserate with the Okoye family.

Some of the early callers in P-Square’s Square Villa resident this morning include their marketer, T-Joe, Flip Tyce, Samklef and Helen Paul-Bamisile.

Peter, a better half of the P-Square twin brothers, said their mother would be greatly missed, not just because she was their mother, but because she played a vital role in the success story of P-Square.

”You know that she was a prayer warrior, so I don’t need to tell you how she stood by us spiritually. Besides, she was the only one that believed in us when we decided to make a career out of music.

”I can remember that she used to sneak us out at night then to attend shows without the consent of our father who insisted that we must quit music to face our education,” Peter said.

RIP , Mrs Okoye.

May God forgive you. RIP Mama Okoye

^^^^^^I was even thinking Ileke-idi's nairaland account was hacked. It was unlike her to write silly comments like those above.

Genbuhari, why did u break the article again and repost. You bowed to silly pressure and it showed u are a mumu. Most nigerians are lazy readers, you don't need to encourage them.

Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Financial Crimes, Narcotics and Drugs, Mr. Jagaba Adams Jagaba, Tuesday, visited the Special Task Force investigating the $620,000 bribe money given to Hon. Farouk Lawan, erstwhile chairman of the Subsidy Probe Committee to investigate wide scale fraud against oil marketers and insisted that he did not collect any money claimed to have been given him by Lawan.

Jagaba who arrived Force Headquarters at about 11 a.m., made straight for the Special Task Force where detectives investigating the scam grilled him for over two hours, after which he was granted bail on self recognition at about 1. 30 p.m.

Vanguard investigation revealed that Jagaba who had earlier written the Police investigators stating that he never received the said $620,000 collected by Farouk from oil magnate, Mr. Femi Otedola, was unruffled through out the duration of the interrogation, saying if Lawan is sure he gave him the money, he should show evidence to the Police.

Asked if there were other revelations that came out of Jagaba interrogation, considering the fact that Police have petitions on other bribery collections from other oil marketers, a source said Jagaba has promised to open up on what he knew when investigations into other such allegations commence.

On whether that was the end of the investigation with regards to the Jagaba angle, the source said as investigations go on, if there is need, Jagaba would be invited again.

Farouk Lawan should resign now.

The House of Representatives Committee on Ethics came under further scrutiny, yesterday, after oil magnate, Mr Femi Otedola, accused one of its members of lying in his account of Otedola’s controversial appearance before the committee last Tuesday.

Responding to published comments where Rep. Ibrahim Bello, a member of the committee was quoted as saying that Otedola told the committee that he did not have the video recording of his transaction with Rep. Farouk Lawan, Otedola affirmed that he never told the committee anything as such.

Otedola had in the past insisted that he is in possession of audio and video recording of Lawan negotiating and collecting the bribe money.
The misrepresentation, he said, was another reason why the Ethics Committee must be prevailed upon to hold its investigations into the scam in public.

Responding to the comments by Bello, Otedola speaking through his lawyer, Babajide Koku, SAN said: “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that the statement credited to Hon. Ibrahim Bello is entirely false and calculated to misrepresent and misinform the public as to what transpired during the closed door hearing held by the House Committee on July 3, 2012.”

“We wish to state further, that there are video and audio recordings corroborating our client’s account of what transpired between him and Hon. Farouk Lawan.

“It is pertinent to emphasise that our client at no time during the proceedings of the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges denied the authenticity of the audio recordings broadcast by the media but only stated that he was not the one that gave the audio recordings to the media houses.”

“This further gives credence to our clients believe that it is in the interest of truth and justice that any hearing into the allegation of bribery against Hon. Farouk Lawan must be held in public and in an unbiased and transparent manner.”
