Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has said to be
an effective leader, one must prepare for the
future.

Obasanjo made the assertion at the inaugural
lecture of the Olusegun Obasanjo good governance
and development research centre with the theme:
‘Leadership, governance and the challenges of
development in Nigeria; the way forward.’

According to the former president, people must
have plan and ideas before seeking and taking
leadership responsibilities.

His words: “No person should go into government
with empty mind hoping to fill the mind up when he
is already in power. He should be fired by ideals
and only itching to run with it after gaining power.”
He said a programme of work with timeline must be
available on the first day of work for a political
leader.

Meanwhile, Elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark has
lashed out at Obasanjo for comments he made
about Goodluck Jonathan in Segun Adeniyi’s new
book, Clark has lashed out at Obasanjo for
comments he made about Goodluck Jonathan in

Clark says Obasanjo has not right to
criticise anyone

An Akwa-Ibom-based pastor, Nsikanabasi Ese, has
knocked down a Customs officer on Thursday, May
4, while trying to evade duties check.

Premium Times reports that the general overseer of
Kairos Rhema Embassy, Uyo, was driving in an SUV
along Eket-Ikot Abasi-Port Harcourt highway, in
Onna local government area of the state, when he
was reportedly flagged down by Customs officers at
a checkpoint around 10.30 a.m.

“He (the pastor) slowed down the vehicle, so we
naturally thought he was pulling over. At the point
that we were relaxed, he fired back the engine at
full throttle, and before I could dive to safety he
had already hit me, ” the injured officer, Daneke
Emmanuel, told journalists at Immanuel Hospital,
Eket, where he was receiving medical attention.

The pastor, Mr. Ese, was said to have sped off
after hitting the officer. But when he saw that a
Customs vehicle had started following him, he pulled
over his brown colour Toyota Highlander.

"He flung open the car door, walked away from the
car and then suddenly slumped on the ground as
though he was in great pains. As we were about to
find out what was wrong with him, another
occupant of the car jumped onto the steering and
ran away with the car,” another witness said.

The Customs team drove both its injured officer and
the pastor to the hospital.

The injured officer, a deputy superintendent of
customs, was complaining of pains in his waist
region when journalists met him. He could not move
his right leg and was assisted to sit on a hospital
chair by two other Customs officials.

When the condition of the pastor was asked, Dr.
Okonjko smiled and then responded:

"I have directed that x-ray should be done on him
here in the hospital since he is complaining of
chest pain”.

The pastor declined to comment on the incident
when journalists met him in one of the wards in the
hospital. An unidentified young lady was with him.
One of the customs officials said that they
suspected that the pastor was pretending to be in
pains to forestall the possibility of him being
charged to court.

Former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan
and her hotel


Controversy has trailed the clash that broke out
between a team of Federal Inland Revenue
Service and the management of Aridolf Resort
Wellness and Spa, believed to be owned by the
wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan ,
Patience, on Wednesday.

The resort is located in the Okaka community of
Yenagoa .

While the FIRS ’ enforcement team claimed it was
attacked by suspected militants lodging in the
hotel , the Aridolf management said the FIRS team
was confronted by hotel customers who were
annoyed by the manner the team was carrying out
its operations .

It was learnt that the FIRS team, led by Mr
Chinazor Edeh , had arrived at the hotel with a
warrant signed by the Chairman , FIRS , Mr
Babatunde Fowler, to seal off the facility for an
alleged non- remittance of Value Added Tax to the
tune of over N 10m , covering a period of 2014
and 2016 .

It was gathered that when the team arrived at the
hotel , Edeh read the content of the warrant to
the facility’ s officials even as he informed lodgers
and customers about the intention to seal the
facility.

An eyewitness , who accompanied the FIRS team to
the operation, said, “ Some militants in the hotel
took over the whole place . They threatened to
shoot every member of the FIRS team, claiming
that the enforcement was illegal .

“‘When one of the directors of the hotel , Mr .
Victor Oba , arrived at the scene , Edeh also
briefed him of the action .

“ Oba told the team that the hotel owes only
three - months VAT and that the employees of the
hotel have not been paid for a number of months
because of payment errors . ”

Giving further insight into the matter , the source
said that when the FIRS team got to the hotel and
demanded to see any senior official , the
receptionist claimed that no senior official was
around.

He said , “ The receptionist insisted that no senior
person was there and that she was the only one
in the hotel . The next thing the lady did was to
run away. After some minutes, the team leader
went to the gym and asked people there to leave
the place . When they came out, he locked the
place and placed a seal indicating that the place
was sealed off .

“ By the time we came to the reception, we never
knew that the receptionist had alerted people .
The team wanted to go inside to ascertain if
people were there . What happened next was a
group of youths came. One of them met the team
leader to enquire what the matter was . ”

But Oba , a younger brother to Patience , faulted
the claim of the FIRS team, saying there was no
attack on the FIRS team.

Oba, who said Aridolf did not habour militants ,
claimed that it was the FIRS team that came and
attacked the guests and lodgers of the hotel .
He stated, “ There was no attack on FIRS team.
Rather, it was the team that came and attacked
our customers. I was out of the hotel . I got a call
that people were there to shut down the hotel .
They held our receptionist hostage , went into the
gym, used armed men to push people out of the
gym, locked up the gym, went into the hotel and
started knocking at doors that guests should come
out. Some were in the bathrooms . ”

Commenting, the police commissioner, Amba ,
dismissed the allegations that the FIRS team was
attacked by militants .

He said, “ Thank God I was there personally , so,
you are hearing from the horse ’ s mouth . It was a
little breach of communication and procedures.

“ The FIRS team came in to recover what they
called VAT payment and when they came, the
management staff were not around but some
sympathisers and those that believed there was a
political colouration to the FIRS visitation blocked
the road . ”

Meanwhile, the Federal Inland Revenue Service on
Thursday sealed the headquarters of Alliance and
General Insurance Company in Lagos, as well as
Delta Transport Service and Grand Hotels in
Asaba , Delta State .

Alliance and General Insurance , which has its
headquarters on Abibu Oki Street, Lagos, was
sealed by the FIRS enforcement team over its
Company Income Tax debt of N 2, 413, 055 , 386. 69.

The team also shut MYD Telecoms Company
Limited in Onikan, Lagos, which allegedly owed
N 26, 247 , 856. 50; as well as Brick and Cable
Limited , Lagos Island, for allegedly having Value
Added Tax and Company Income Tax liabilities of
N 155 ,460 , 310. 22.

In Asaba , the capital of Delta State, the FIRS
team sealed the offices of the Delta Transport
Service Limited and Grand Hotels Limited .
The leader of the enforcement team, Mrs . Ruth
Mandeun , said the companies ignored notices sent
to them and failed to take advantage of the one-
month window offered by the FIRS for them to
pay uo .

Delta Transport Service, according to the FIRS ,
owes N 243, 146 ,108 , while Grand Hotels has
liabilities of N 14, 402 ,762 . 75 .

In Owerri , Imo State, the FIRS shut Macol
Construction Company Limited over a tax debt of
N 2, 938 ,069 . 37; First Eye Resources Nigeria
Limited , which allegedly owes N 6, 844 ,099 . 46 ; and
Boko Nigeria Limited , said to be indebted to the
tune of N 250 , 000.

Mavin singer, Reekado Banks , is undoubtedly one
of the good artistes Nigeria can boast, a thing
we are certain he knows.

Speaking with Sunday Scoop, the Ladies And
Gentlemen crooner, opened up on how his family
handled his decision to go into music fully, is
Mavin family and of course competition amongst
them all.

On his parents being told about his decision to
pursue music, Reekado said:

“My parents have always been supportive and
they want the best for their children. When I
initially told my mother about my intention, she
had no problem with it. She then told my dad
and he was okay with it too but said he wanted
to be sure that I wouldn’t leave Jesus Christ.”

On gaining fame and its effect:

“I am still the same person I used to be. I do
every other thing I want but I no longer have
the liberty of walking on the street or going to
some certain places I would have loved to go. I
have always been the indoor type and even
when I was in the University of Lagos, I never
went to clubs or things like that.”

On the Mavin family:

“The only thing I can say we have among us is
healthy competition. We encourage ourselves to
do well and we’re one big happy family. We
give ourselves good pressure, like when one
person releases a good song, the others are
motivated to do the same, or even do better.
We also advise ourselves on how to do better
and we constantly look out for one another’s
progress.”

Rapper Yung6ix , may need little or no
introduction in and out of the music business.
The talented act, who spoke with Sunday Scoop,
talked about his main aim of doing business and
his plans towards it.

In his words:

“My ambition is to become a billionaire and I am
consciously working towards that. That is why I
titled my last EP, Billionaire Ambitions. I have
my eyes set on being a music mogul so that I
can empower other young artistes out there.
Even now, I try to do that as I regularly give
out cash on my social media platforms because
I love helping people.”

On feeling threatened by rappers like Olamide and
Phyno , Yung6ix said,

“I have a very good relationship with Olamide
and Phyno and I don’t feel threatened by any
of them. I believe that the sky is wide enough
for every bird to fly and I am thankful that I
have my own market and fans who love me. My
music is being recognised globally and my
unique Nigerian style of music has made me
one of the biggest hip hop brands in the
industry today. Even though there is a bit of
western influence in my songs but it’s also
obvious that I’m a Nigerian and I always stay
true to my roots. ”

On making music:

“I make music mentally. I don’t write songs as I
find that to be stressful. I prefer to freestyle
and from that I get to develop the song and
make it better after some takes. True music
comes from the soul and I try to stay as pure
as possible.”

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) said it had so far registered 1.5 million
candidates for the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) across the country.
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede,
disclosed this in an interview with the
newsmen on Saturday at side line of activities marking the pre-JAMB mock examinations.

It will be recalled that the JAMB mock
examinations earlier scheduled to hold on Saturday May 8 had been postponed to ensure smooth conduct of
the exam.


Oloyede said: “So far, it has even been better
than our expectation, it was a mock, the intention
was to test the technology and it proved to be
perfect.

“I think from what we are seeing, we are
more than ready for the main examination.

“At least 90 per cent of the examination
centres
have reported positively, there have been
proper
downloading and preparation; even after the
exam
we had uploaded responses of 80 per cent.
“We have done it to show that what works
elsewhere across the world should work in
Nigeria;

we believe we can do it efficiently; we will
continue to do our best.

“We have registered over 1.5million
candidates in
less than five weeks; we believe that the
reality we
have put in place is good enough.’’

Oloyede said that 633 centres were used to
conduct the mock examination for 153, 000 candidates
across the country.

In separate interviews, some of examination
centre coordinators and candidates lauded JAMB for
the mock initiative geared towards equipping the
candidates to do better in the main exam.

Mr Abdul-Aziz Olasoyinka, Technical Research
Officer of Digital Bridge Institute, commended
JAMB for the mock examination.

He said it was apt in terms of preparation for
future exams.
Olasoyinka said: “Mock is a good experience
because
it will help the candidates to adequately
prepare for
the forthcoming examination.
“It helps to evaluate how well the candidates
have
prepared and to improve themselves ahead of
time.”
Mr Olajide Adisa, Director of Outstations at
JAMB,
said although there were 230 capacities at
the
Computer Based Test (CBT) centre, plans
were on to
upgrade to 250 them before the main exam.
“Even with that our specification is that at
least we
should have 10 per cent of same capacity as
back-
up in case of any breakdown.
“We have already put measures in place to
test them
in the course of the mock examination, they
will be
ready before the main examination,” Adisa
said.
A candidate, Miss Hadiza Abdullahi, told NAN
that the
mock examination had improved her level of
confidence ahead of the main exam.
She described the examination as
encouraging,
adding that she expects to sit for the main
examination well-equipped.
Abdullahi, however appealed to the board to
put
measures in place to enable candidates
wanting to
register for future exam to do so with ease.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports
that the
mock examination held in three sessions,
including
the JAMB headquarter and CBT centre in
Kogo
community.

According to Wale, “Shine” is dropping this Friday or
so he hopes.


On Wednesday night, Wale caught up with Genius for
a break down analysis of his forthcoming album
Shine, which is supposed to be dropping May 5th.
During his sit-down with Rob Markman, the MMG
rapper discussed the tracklist, talked about stories
behind the songs and even revealed a couple
producers in the process, including Don Cannon
(“Colombia Heights”) & No Credit (“Mathematics”).


However, what people are talking about the most
from the event is the album’s new release date,
which will now reportedly be this Friday, April 28th
instead. “Ima put my album out on Friday yo” Wale
says on the mic. However, following the event, Wale
might’ve spoke too early & took to Instagram to try
and get Atlantic on the same boat (which he has
since deleted).

In addition to that though, people are also talking
about the new song Wale debuted with DJ Sam
Sneak called “Shine Season,” which finds Wale
referencing conservative political commentator Tomi Lauren once again. “Tomi I Lahren, I aint ready for you/All the Beckys want an Uncle Tom Sawyer/Race draft first pick/John Lennon for Don Lemon,” he rapped.

Check out both a teaser of the record “Shine
Season” & his release date announcement (below).
We’ll keep you posted on further updates regarding’s
Friday’s release. Let’s hope it sticks.

Olamide is here again and this time he calls

African China recently released a new music
video for his single “Aun Gboko” hence we
decided to highlight what is arguably his signature
song on this edition of #ThrowBack . Mr.
President was a conscious song that rocked the
four cardinal points of Nigeria to say the least
and made African China an household name. The
infectious call and response chorus of the
number addressing corruption in the nation; “Mr.
President/Lead us well/ If you be governor/
Govern us well/If you be senator/Senate am
well/If you be police/Police am well/No dey take
bribe…” is the highlight timeless piece. Enjoy!

Singer African China, in an interview with
Sunday Scoop, talked about his music and the
price he pays for doing his kind of songs.
According to the LETTER TO MR PRESIDENT
crooner, he now gets threats for singing
about the sad economic state of the nation.
“The circumstance of the country now
warrants for a song like that. The economic
recession is affecting people in the country
badly and some generations that are not
aware of the value of the original song can
learn from this remix. A lot of people have
reached out to me that this is the best time
for me to have released that song. I want the
original song to remain on its own and for
this one to stand out too. I have always been
doing socially conscious songs and I wouldn’t
relent. My song, Anu Gboko, talks about the
menace of Boko Haram and other societal ills.
I have always been the mouthpiece of the
Nigerian people and no matter how much I’m
threatened, I wouldn’t stop. It is better for
me to speak my mind and die because even if
I don’t speak, I would still die,” he said.

“Some people telephone me to say that they
are coming after me. Most times, they hide
their numbers when calling and I dare them to
reveal their numbers. Since they are the ones
threatening me, they shouldn’t be afraid to
show their faces. I’m a street boy and I fear
no man. I did not call anybody’s name in the
song but I guess some people feel affected by
the lyrics of the song as a result of their
guilty conscience.”

He continued:

“I have experienced that on a number of
occasions but it cannot stop me. Even some
artistes are scared of singing songs like that
because they need the money and they fear
that their patronage would reduce. I am not
doing this for the money but for the people
I’m serving. That is what Fela did and that’s
why even in death, he stands out. There are
many musicians that were around during
Fela’s era but they are not remembered today,
so if you don’t leave a legacy behind, you
would be forgotten easily,” he said.

Singer Skales, has made it known that he has
never been under pressure from Wizkid and unlike
many think, can actually create an even bigger
brand with his talent.

Speaking with Sunday Scoop, the Temper crooner
opened up about his time at EME record, ex-home
to singer Wizkid, saying contrary to what many
thought, he was never pressurized by Wizkid.
In his words:

<i>“I have never been under pressure from Wizkid.
I have always been a singer even though I
became more popular as a rapper. When I was
in Kaduna, I wrote songs but rap was the in-
thing back then, so that’s what I concentrated
on more. I believe that artistes have their
individual styles and it’s not necessary to
compare one artiste with another. I had a
wonderful time with EME and they contributed
so much to my career. But I’ve moved on and
I’m grateful to God that I’m doing well in my
career.”

On what drives him to keep on making music:

“I have a very deep passion for what I do.
Anyone who knows me would tell you that I’m
very particular about my music and nothing is
more important than that to me. I am not in it
just for the money but to make an impact and
also touch lives along the way.”</i>

Some people can't shake the idea of money
blogging , I have a friend who is yet to finish
designing his blog but have already registered
with an AdNetwork , He is into blogging with no
doubt for one reason 'Money' . There is a
mythical believe by people about blogging ,
People See blogging as a quick money making
opportunity . It is not totally wrong though there
are few blogger that have the drive and passion
to blog.


Having Ads on your blog has some cool benefits
that you might not know , most especially Ads
like AdSense,Media.net,Infolinks Etc.


4 Benefits Of Having Ads On Your Blog.


1. Your Dedication Drastically Increases .
With Ads present on your blog dedication to
blogging increases in know time,you don't need a
magician to tell you to work and spend more time
on your blog . You spend less time on other
things and most of your time on your blog.


2. Your Pageview Will Increase.



You need traffic in other to make money on your
blog when running an AdNetwork . You will work
hard like never before in other to increase your
blog traffic and pageview with you knowing.They
number of your new visitors will increase in no
time , you encourage , beg and if possible force
people to visit your blog.


3.You Become A Better Blogger


Many bloggers may not notice this but you tense
to act or do something's you find it absurd . You
may have some certain things you are not good
at as a blogger but with the present of Ads on
your blog , you start doing things you which you
are not good at like dropping your blog link in
forums,social platforms ,writing contents, blog
commenting,guest posting etc.



4.Your Financial Status Elevate.



I definitely will not leave this out , they amount
of money bloggers compare to passion bloggers
is a thing of fear seriously blogging should not
be about money alone. Your financial status will
elevate once you have a smooth and paying Ads

Blogging for money is not a crime neither is it a
sin but going out of your way to make money as
a blogger is wrong . Asking people to click your
ads or deceiving them into doing so is a crime
and could easily get you site banned from
participating as a publisher in your existing
adnetwork .

Lol
