An alarming news hits the blogs and social media that talented actress Funke
Akindele’s one year marriage to Kehinde Oloyede has come to an abrupt end.
Blogger Linda Ikeji reports that Kehinde made the announcement himself via his
Facebook page but has since deleted the post.
According to Linda, Kehinde wrote, “It’s with heavy heart that am announcing
the separation of me nd ma wife Mrs olufunke akindele,we’ve both agreed to go
our separate ways coz of irreconcilable differences.we still best of friends nd we
4ever remain gud friends” (sic)
Efforts to reach Funke who is presently on a movie location to confirm the story
has yielded no results yet.
Funke and Kehinde got married in a high ceremony on Saturday May 26th
2012.

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has heaped the blame for the ongoing
crisis in Rivers State on President Goodluck Jonathan and asked the National
Assembly to immediately commence impeachment proceedings against him,
for failing to live up to his oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Wednesday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said by Jonathan’s abhorrence of
the rule of law and majority rule, the latest indication of which is his
unmistakable support for a group of renegade lawmakers who are fomenting
trouble in Rivers State, the President has become a clear and present danger to
the country’s democracy, and must be shown the way out in accordance with
the Constitution.
”Under President Jonathan’s watch and with his tacit support, a few lawmakers
dictated to majority of the members of the Ogun State House of Assembly,
which was locked for a long time. Under President Jonathan’s watch, the
Nigerian Governors’ Forum was sabotaged by his minions who declared a
Governor with 16 votes a winner over the one who scored 19 votes, in a
injurious blow to the concept of democracy.
”And under his watch, five lawmakers – out of 32 – have become the majority
and, simply because they have the backing of the presidency, are now being
given police protection to disrupt the proceedings of the House. As we write,
Rivers state has been taken over by current and former militants who have
been unleashed to destabilize the state and cause a breakdown of law and
order, to pave the way for the imposition of a State of Emergency.
”This cannot and must be allowed to continue, hence our call on the National
Assembly to move quickly to remove the source of the crisis. Since this is no
longer an intra-party dispute and because of its potentials to set the country
on fire, we also call on civil society groups, professional bodies and ordinary
Nigerians to rise up and defend the rule of law and the supremacy of the
Constitution over arbitrariness,” ACN said.
The party decried the anarchy that is now reigning in Rivers, simply because
the five renegade lawmakers have the backing of the presidency, which has
emboldened them to take extra-Constitutional measures to try to remove the
majority-backed Speaker of the State House of Assembly.
”Taking a cue from the presidency, the State Commissioner of Police has turned
himself into a politician and abandoned his constitutional role. Instead of
providing security for the entire House to sit, he chose to back the renegades
and their thugs to unleash mayhem on their colleagues. This is what you get
when a leader dons the garb of a partisan instead of being a statesman.
All sorts of minions simply follow suit,” it said.
The party said that in the aftermath of the crisis, the soldiers attached to the
State House in Rivers have been withdrawn while there are real fears that the
police security will also be withdrawn by a Commissioner of Police who,
apparently, no longer takes orders from his boss.
”This is not the democracy that was watered with the blood of many Nigerians.
This not what Nigerians bargained for after years of military rule. We should not
and must not allow those who are now reaping where they did not sow to
reverse the little progress that we have made,” ACN warned.

…calls for removal of barriers to children’s education
Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has called on the Federal and State
Governments to eliminate all barriers to children’s education.
He made the call in Aboekuta on Sunday when he hosted secondary school
students across the country as part of this year’s Open Door Series Project, an
international cultural exchange programme.
He also used the occasion to dispel the insinuation that he graduated with
third-class division, explaining that he graduated from the University College,
Ibadan with a Second Class Upper.
The programme was organised as part of activities to mark his 79th birthday.
Soyinka appealed to the students, particularly, those studying in the violence-
prone areas of the north, not to be discouraged by the activities of Boko Haram
sect.
He urged them to draw inspiration from the 16-year-old Pakistani girl, Malala
Yousafzai, who was shot in the head on October 9, 2012 by Taliban fighters
over her campaign for girl-child education in Pakistan.
Soyinka, who fielded questions from 79 student participants, charged them to
cultivate zero tolerance for failure and strive to excel in all their endeavours.
“It might look very negative and hopeless, but we must not allow ourselves to
be discouraged.
“The fact that people are still going to schools in those violence-prone areas
shows that we should not be discouraged.
“You are not a complete human being if you are not educated, schooled or
cultured.
“No matter what goes on around you, you must insist on your education.’’
The Nobel Laureate also used the occasion to dispel the insinuation that he
graduated with third-class division.
Soyinka said that he graduated from the University College, Ibadan with a
Second Class Upper.
He explained that although he had kept silent on the issue over the years, he
decided to open up for the first time over the rumour as a mark of respect for
the participants.
Earlier, Gov. Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun, described Soyinka as a world citizen and
encouraged the participants in the essay competition to emulate his life and be
more studious.
Amosun commended the organisers and re-stated the commitment of his
administration to celebrate prominent Nigerians whose lives have remained
sources of inspiration to younger generation.
The event, tagged: “Memoirs of our future”, was organised by a Lagos based
multimedia company, Zmirage, in conjunction with the Ogun State Government.

....and Achebe would be remembered for giving the whole world a distorted
view of the Nigerian Civil War in his swan song tittled 'There was a Country'

bestview: Now you have accepted the fact that the Africa's most influential celebrity and father of modern African literature is Achebe.
While your local champion Soyenka will be remembered for introducing campus cultism and killing of millions of students along the line. It is an undeniable fact that Soyenka will not be remembered for any positive thing.

I can see I need not bandy words with you anymore...I doubt your educational sagacity...
Take ma advice: go to the basics!

bestview: [s][/s]



Who is the Africa's most influential celebrity and who is also the father of modern African literature? Achebe is a worldwide household name for positive things..go figure

The world will remember each and everyone of them by their works. While Achebe will be remember for affecting millions around the world positively through his work.

Soyenka on the other side of the coin will be remembered for campus cultism and killing of millions through campus war etc.

....and Achebe would be remembered for giving the whole world a distorted view of the Nigerian Civil War in his swan song tittled 'There was a Country'

amarral: nobody is perfect. Soyinka should know dat his literary prowess has limitations.by d way Is he into academics or politics.

Does Being into academics mean u shdnt comment on issues anymore?
You really need to slow down. Lemme ask: What is the essence of education? The prof ain't like you who, after education, confine yourself...

bestview: This is a welcome development. Who is Soyenka in the first?

Was he Achebe- the father of modern African literature or Africa's most influential celebrity?

Soyenka should be cut to size by all means necessary, afterward the campus cultism that is the bane of Nigerian universities today is the sole invention of that guy who claim holier than thou.

If you agree that Soyenka should be tamed: CLICK YES

The truth of the matter is: you don't live up to your name. it shd be 'bad/ worst view' cus you haven't demonstrated any iota of civility here.
You shd be aware that Soyinka and Achebe are two distinct personalities: Soyinka is the first black man to achieve the nobel laurette. Besides, the one is a public figure while the other is not.

nacosprof: EDUCATION IS NOT 4FOOLISHNESS, U OUGHT 2MAINTAIN INDEFATIGABLE STATE INSTEAD OF BEEN SENTIMENTAL STATE OF ACRIMONY........GEJ IS OUR FIRST CITIZEN N SHOULD BE RESPECTED

have u ever come across the word 'CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM‘....Go back to the baics; you need a tutor

anthony86: politics is a dirty game and The Prof just joined the game by taking side with one of its players . so he shouldn't get perturbed whrn his name is soiled.

Ain't you aware of the term 'CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM?'

[quote author=on a good day]if the basis of your judgement as i can see is based on portfolio,then it is such a myopic view,don't forget that soyinka has caused much harm than good to this nation,through introduction of sea dogs and subsequently other ppl took after him,and don't even give me that crap that it is not his intention blah blah blah....unless u r one of them,soyinka should learn to respect a constituted authority and thread with caution[/quote]what is the CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY if I may ask? Seems you are oblivious of the fact that the president's wife has no official position in our constitution.

pureguide: you yorubas are known for idolisation and idol worship,
witchcraft, socery name it. You worship stones (ogun), coconut(ifa),
lizards, plates, spoons etc and now you ve just made wole soyinka one of
your newest gods. To we that doesn't count, WS is just a fetish hypocrite
who walks about bare foot, unkempt hair and beards, the old hag needs to
get a life for real, who the hell is he to keep raining insults on the president's
wife. Is it because wole is not legally married that he is abusing another
man's wife? How much does he recieve as freebies from apc that is driving
him mad at his old age, this should have gone on a thorough research
before making his inane assertions public.

it's crystal clear u are a deranged person. Must you attack a whole tribe cus of an individual? From the tone of ur statement, it shows you're being jealous of the yorubas. You envy them cus they're the most educated in the country. Better join the roller coaster or get crushed....

tokunboh: I'm shocked at PEJ's audacity to take a swipe at Soyinka!.... This drama is really getting interesting and embarrasing...

Is Wole Soyinka God? He has betrayed the confidence most of us had in him. Sometimes we have to put respected people in their place when they cross the boundary of decorum and respect. Wole Soyinka should zip it! He needs proper dosage of flagil for his running mouth!!

when has it become a crime to decry an excess of a self-imposed despot in a democratic setting? The honourable prof has said nothing wrong here...He is trying to correct the social vices perpetrated by the so-called first lady. Are you too blind or too deaf to notice her glaring excesses?
