Lynx Entertainment signee, Kidi born Dennis Nana Dwamena has sparked rumours of being part of the Illuminati with his recent outfit.

The handsome singer stepped out in adorable fashion yesterday rocking a white top with Jeans to match.

He was looking like a fine gentleman as always but a closer look at the top he’s wearing sees the Illuminati symbol printed on it.

This has got us asking if he has joined the secret society of enlightened people.

Take a look at the photos below:



Kidi was at Adina Thembi’s birthday party with Kuami Eugene, Mzvee, Flow Kingstone and others, here are all photos.

If you know you know

Pagani Huayra BC – $2.8 million (N856 million)
This is the most expensive Pagani ever made and named as a tribute to Benny Caiola, a noted Italian investor with probably the best collection of Ferraris and a very close friend of Horacio Pagani.
This car was first seen at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show with many cool aero features. It is equipped with a 6.0 liter V-12 bi-turbo AMG engine and produces 790 horsepower and 811 lb-ft torque.
And the most amazing bit is that the BC takes over the Huayra by changing the model’s standard 150 milliseconds to 75 milliseconds and it weighs only 1,218 kilograms.

Bugatti Chiron – $2.7m (N826 million)
This is one of the latest range of high priced cars made by Bugatti and it starts at around $2.7 million. However, prices are expected to reach $3 million in the least, long before it hits the market.
The Bugatti Chiron is hyped by its manufacturers and touted as the World’s most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car.
It is a fine example of the collusion of aerospace and automotive engineering to produce a classic device that could give a speed of 268 mph. The 8.0 litre turbo-charged W-16, 1,500-horsepower engine is actually 300 more than the Super Sport, the fastest Veyron model.
Its top speed has been limited to 261 mph on the road, its actual top speed is yet to be tested.[img][/img]

From its etymology, cars were made as means of transportation, with the first steam-powered automobile capable of human transport produced in 1769 by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot.
Over time, car making has evolved from the first combustion engine fuelled by hydrogen made in 1808 to the 1870 first gasoline powered combustion engine to 1903 when Ford produced thousands of affordable cars for sale.
In recent times, cars have moved from being just a means of transportation to being a symbol of status and power used by the very wealthy and influential.
From the stupendously-rich monarch in the Middle-East, to wealthy business moguls in Europe and America, cars have become another means of showing off wealth.
Big names like Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce often come at very high prices and are only meant for rich collectors as many of them are often sold out before they reach the public.
While most of the cars listed here are wildly out of the reach for most, it is a sheer pleasure just to look at them.
Some of these cars are more expensive than the most affordable Jet: the Cirrus Vision 5-seater jet which goes for $1.96 million.
In fact, the most expensive car in the world which goes for N3.9 billion ($13m), can buy 6 Cirrus Vision Jets. However, most of them are not available in the open market as there are only very limited quantity or they are manufactured on request. In fact there is only one of the most expensive car in the world and it would not be replicated.
Below is a list of 10 most expensive cars in the World:

10. Macaulay Culkin



As kids, we all watched Home Alone, Richie Rich, and we all loved it. Both movies were funny, hugely successful and established Macaulay Culkin as the most successful child actor of the early 90’s. Unfortunately, he fell off the radar after becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol. His forays in the music industry have not borne fruits and his attempt to return to making movies have ultimately been unsuccessful. Don’t do drugs kids.

09. Tara Reid


Remember Vicky in American Pie? Ah well, the once beautiful woman succumbed to drugs and alcohol, and her life never remained the same. A surgery session gone wrong plus series of divorces also got her looking nothing like the snack we all wanted to ‘eat’ when we saw American Pie that year. Sigh

08. Charlie Sheen


There was a time when Charlie Sheen was the most eligible bachelor in Hollywood, and the world. He was so loved and admired because of his huge acting talent and his character on shows like 2 and a Half Men. But today, his name is synonymous with wild nights, drugs binges, notorious playboy lifestyle and the revelation he is HIV positive, and knowingly infected many women. Sad.

07. Hanks Anuku


Hanks Anuku was one of the biggest actors in Nollywood in the early 2000s. Because of his foreign accent, he was usually cast in “I just got back” and/or ‘bad guy’ roles and he executed them really well. But his fate changed because of drugs and alcohol. He dropped off the radar and even though he was a Special Assistant to then Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State, his addiction affected him mentally. He reportedly sought help from TB Joshua, got cured of his addictions, and has since relocated to Ghana, where he has naturalized and is now Nana Kwame Fifi Kakra Anuku.

06. DMX


Earl ‘DMX’ Simmons is an American rapper, ruff-ryder, record producer and actor known for his gruff style of rapping and his gangsta music. He dominated the rap/Hip-Hop scene in the late 90’s/early 2000’s dropping albums like “It’s dark and hell is hot”, “And then there was X”, etc. He is the first rapper in history to release two number one albums in the same year, and the only artist in history to release 5 consecutive albums that debuted at number one. All this is to show you how great his life was until he succumbed to drug abuse. Today he is broke (after filing for bankruptcy) and a complete shadow of himself.

05. Lindsay Lohan



Lindsay started her career as a child, and she was everybody’s sweetheart. It was overwhelming to watch her grow from that cheeky little girl to, well, a woman with numerous mug shots from post-drunken sprees. Coupled with kleptomania, she hasn’t had an easy adult life, and this has cost her a lot in revenue money.

04. Britney Spears



Britney Spears was born in 1981 and is especially popular for her album, Oops! I did it again. She was so big that she was once described as the biggest female pop star on earth, but she became addicted to drugs and everything fell apart. Today, she has lost millions of fans, endorsement deals, and is a shadow of her former self.

03. Majek Fashek



Once upon a time, Majekodunmi Fasheke was the biggest music act from Nigeria. He was the first African to perform on the now-defunct US legendary talk show – Late Night Show with David Letterman and he was once signed to Interscope Records.

During the course of his career, he worked with acts like Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Tracy Chapman, Jimmy Cliff and Beyoncé. Unfortunately, his addiction to drugs ruined his career, and life. He was checked into a rehabilitation facility in 2015 and is making an attempt to return to the music industry.

02. Amy Winehouse



Born 14th, September 1983, Amy was an English singer and songwriter who was known for her deep contralto vocals and eclectic mix of musical genres. Everyone who knew her personally said she was a sweetheart, but she was also addicted to alcohol. In ****, she died as a result of alcohol poisoning.

Whitney

Many celebrities find themselves getting addicted to either drugs or alcohol, ruining not only their career but their lives as a whole. We have curated a list of some celebrities whose careers have been ruined by excessive consumption of alcohol and drugs.

We don’t know if you’ll enjoy it, but share to discourage someone from addictive substances.


01. Whitney Houston



Whitney Houston was everybody’s favorite singer. She was also a producer and an actress, starring in hugely successful movies like The Bodyguard and The Preacher’s Wife. In 2009, the Guinness World Records named her the most awarded female act ever, adding to the, well, list of accolades she’d already received. Despite all these, she was addicted to drugs – a habit she (is said to have) picked up from her husband and partner – Bobby Brown. She died on the 11th of February 2012, as a result of drowning due to intoxication.

Northern kingdoms of the Sahel
The Songhai Empire, c. 1500
Trade is the key to the emergence of organized communities in the sahelian portions of Nigeria. Prehistoric inhabitants adjusting to the encroaching desert were widely scattered by the third millennium BC, when the desiccation of the
Sahara began. Trans-Saharan trade routes linked the western Sudan with the
Mediterranean since the time of Carthage and with the Upper Nile from a much earlier date, establishing avenues of communication and cultural influence that remained open until the end of the 19th century. By these same routes, Islam made its way south into West Africa after the 9th century.
By then a string of dynastic states, including the earliest Hausa states, stretched across western and central Sudan. The most powerful of these states were Ghana , Gao, and Kanem , which were not within the boundaries of modern Nigeria but which influenced the history of the Nigerian savanna. Ghana declined in the 11th century but was succeeded by the Mali Empire which consolidated much of western Sudan in the 13th century.
Following the breakup of Mali a local leader named Sonni Ali (1464–1492) founded the Songhai Empire in the region of middle Niger and the western Sudan and took control of the trans-Saharan trade. Sonni Ali seized Timbuktu in 1468 and Djenné in 1473, building his regime on trade revenues and the cooperation of Muslim merchants. His successor Askia Muhammad Ture (1493–1528) made Islam the official religion, built mosques, and brought Muslim scholars, including al-Maghili (d.1504), the founder of an important tradition of Sudanic African Muslim scholarship, to Gao. [15]
Although these western empires had little political influence on the Nigerian savanna before 1500 they had a strong cultural and economic impact that became more pronounced in the 16th century, especially because these states became associated with the spread of Islam and trade. Throughout the 16th century much of northern Nigeria paid homage to Songhai in the west or to Borno , a rival empire in the east.
Kanem-Bornu Empire
Main article: Kanem-Bornu Empire
Borno's history is closely associated with Kanem, which had achieved imperial status in the Lake Chad basin by the 13th century. Kanem expanded westward to include the area that became Borno. The
mai (king) of Kanem and his court accepted Islam in the 11th century, as the western empires also had done. Islam was used to reinforce the political and social structures of the state although many established customs were maintained. Women, for example, continued to exercise considerable political influence.
The mai employed his mounted bodyguard and an inchoate army of nobles to extend Kanem's authority into Borno. By tradition the territory was conferred on the heir to the throne to govern during his apprenticeship. In the 14th century, however, dynastic conflict forced the then-ruling group and its followers to relocate in Borno, where as a result the Kanuri emerged as an ethnic group in the late 14th and 15th centuries. The civil war that disrupted Kanem in the second half of the 14th century resulted in the independence of Borno.
Borno's prosperity depended on the trans-Sudanic slave trade and the desert trade in salt and livestock. The need to protect its commercial interests compelled Borno to intervene in Kanem, which continued to be a theater of war throughout the 15th century and into the 16th century. Despite its relative political weakness in this period, Borno's court and mosques under the patronage of a line of scholarly kings earned fame as centers of Islamic culture and learning.
De-colonial states, 1800–1948
Main article: History of Nigeria (1500–1800)
Savanna states
During the 16th century, the Songhai Empire reached its peak, stretching from the Senegal and Gambia rivers and incorporating part of Hausaland in the east. Concurrently the Saifawa Dynasty of Borno conquered Kanem and extended control west to Hausa cities not under Songhai authority. Largely because of Songhai's influence, there was a blossoming of Islamic learning and culture. Songhai collapsed in 1591 when a Moroccan army conquered Gao and Timbuktu. Morocco was unable to control the empire and the various provinces, including the Hausa states, became independent. The collapse undermined Songhai's hegemony over the Hausa states and abruptly altered the course of regional history.
The Fulani jihad states of West Africa, c. 1830
Borno reached its pinnacle under mai Idris Aloma (ca. 1569–1600) during whose reign Kanem was reconquered. The destruction of Songhai left Borno uncontested and until the 18th century Borno dominated northern Nigeria. Despite Borno's hegemony the Hausa states continued to wrestle for ascendancy. Gradually Borno's position weakened; its inability to check political rivalries between competing Hausa cities was one example of this decline. Another factor was the military threat of the Tuareg centered at Agades who penetrated the northern districts of Borno. The major cause of Borno's decline was a severe drought that struck the Sahel and savanna from in the middle of the 18th century. As a consequence Borno lost many northern territories to the Tuareg whose mobility allowed them to endure the famine more effectively. Borno regained some of its former might in the succeeding decades, but another drought occurred in the 1790s, again weakening the state.
Ecological and political instability provided the background for the jihad of
Usman dan Fodio . The military rivalries of the Hausa states strained the region's economic resources at a time when drought and famine undermined farmers and herders. Many Fulani moved into Hausaland and Borno, and their arrival increased tensions because they had no loyalty to the political authorities, who saw them as a source of increased taxation. By the end of the 18th century, some Muslim ulema began articulating the grievances of the common people. Efforts to eliminate or control these religious leaders only heightened the tensions, setting the stage for jihad. [15]
According to the Encyclopedia of African History , "It is estimated that by the 1890s the largest slave population of the world, about 2 million people, was concentrated in the territories of the
Sokoto Caliphate . The use of slave labor was extensive, especially in agriculture." [16]
Akwa Akpa
Main article: Akwa Akpa
The modern city of Calabar was founded in 1786 by Efik families who had left Creek Town, farther up the Calabar river , settling on the east bank in a position where they were able to dominate traffic with European vessels that anchored in the river, and soon becoming the most powerful in the region. [17] Akwa Akpa became a center of the slave trade, where slaves were exchanged for European goods. [18] Most slave ships that transported slaves from Calabar were
English , and around 85% of these ships being from Bristol and Liverpool merchants. [19] The main ethnic group taken out of Calabar as slaves were the
Igbo , although they were not the main ethnicity in the area. [20]
With the suppression of the slave trade, palm oil and palm kernels became the main exports. The chiefs of Akwa Akpa placed themselves under British protection in 1884. [21] From 1884 until 1906 Old Calabar was the headquarters of the
Niger Coast Protectorate , after which Lagos became the main center. [21] Now called Calabar, the city remained an important port shipping ivory, timber, beeswax, and palm produce until 1916, when the railway terminus was opened at
Port Harcourt , 145 km to the west. [2

Early states before 1500
Main article: History of Nigeria before 1500
The early independent kingdoms and states that make up present-day British colonialized Nigeria are (in alphabetical order):
Benin Kingdom
Borgu Kingdom
Fulani Empire
Hausa Kingdoms
Kanem Bornu Empire
Kwararafa Kingdom
Ibibio Kingdom
Nri Kingdom
Nupe Kingdom
Oyo Empire
Songhai Empire
Warri Kingdom
Oyo and Benin
Main article: Oyo Empire
During the 15th century Oyo and Benin surpassed Ife as political and economic powers, although Ife preserved its status as a religious center. Respect for the priestly functions of the oni of Ife was a crucial factor in the evolution of Yoruban culture. The Ife model of government was adapted at Oyo, where a member of its ruling dynasty controlled several smaller city-states. A state council (the Oyo Mesi ) named the alafin (king) and acted as a check on his authority. Their capital city was situated about 100 km north of present-day Oyo. Unlike the forest-bound Yoruba kingdoms, Oyo was in the savanna and drew its military strength from its cavalry forces, which established hegemony over the adjacent Nupe and the
Borgu kingdoms and thereby developed trade routes farther to the north.
The Benin Empire (1440–1897; called Bini by locals) was a pre-colonial African state in what is now modern Nigeria. It should not be confused with the modern-day country called Benin, formerly called Dahomey.

The Kingdom of Nri was a religio-polity, a sort of theocratic state, that developed in the central heartland of the Igbo region. [9] The Nri had a taboo symbolic code with six types. These included human (such as the birth of twins ), animal (such as killing or eating of pythons), [13] object, temporal, behavioral, speech and place taboos. [14] The rules regarding these taboos were used to educate and govern Nri's subjects. This meant that, while certain Igbo may have lived under different formal administration, all followers of the Igbo religion had to abide by the rules of the faith and obey its representative on earth, the Eze Nri. [13]
[14]
Decline of Nri kingdom
With the decline of Nri kingdom in the 15th to 17th centuries, several states once under their influence, became powerful economic oracular oligarchies and large commercial states that dominated
Igboland . The neighboring Awka city-state rose in power as a result of their powerful Agbala oracle and metalworking expertise. The Onitsha Kingdom , which was originally inhabited by Igbos from east of the Niger, was founded in the 16th century by migrants from Anioma (Western Igboland). Later groups like the Igala traders from the hinterland settled in Onitsha in the 18th century. Western Igbo kingdoms like
Aboh , dominated trade in the lower Niger area from the 17th century until European penetration. The Umunoha state in the Owerri area used the Igwe ka Ala oracle at their advantage. However, the Cross River Igbo state like the Aro had the greatest influence in Igboland and adjacent areas after the decline of Nri.
The Arochukwu kingdom emerged after the
Aro-Ibibio Wars from 1630 to 1720, and went on to form the Aro Confederacy which economically dominated Eastern Nigerian hinterland. The source of the Aro Confederacy's economic dominance was based on the judicial oracle of Ibini Ukpabi (" Long Juju " and their military forces which included powerful allies such as
Ohafia , Abam , Ezza , and other related neighboring states. The Abiriba and Aro are Brothers whose migration is traced to Ekpa Kingdom in East of Cross River; their exact take of location was at Ekpa (Mkpa) east of the Cross river. They crossed the river to Urupkam (Usukpam) west of the Cross river and founded two settlements: Ena Uda and Ena Ofia in present-day Erai. Aro and Abiriba cooperated to become a powerful economic force.
Igbo gods, like those of the Yoruba, were numerous, but their relationship to one another and human beings was essentially egalitarian, reflecting Igbo society as a whole. A number of oracles and local cults attracted devotees while the central deity, the earth mother and fertility figure Ala , was venerated at shrines throughout Igboland.
The weakness of a popular theory that Igbos were stateless rests on the paucity of historical evidence of pre-colonial Igbo society. There is a huge gap between the archaeological finds of Igbo Ukwu, which reveal a rich material culture in the heart of the Igbo region in the 8th century, and the oral traditions of the 20th century. Benin exercised considerable influence on the western Igbo, who adopted many of the political structures familiar to the Yoruba-Benin region, but Asaba and its immediate neighbors, such as Ibusa , Ogwashi-Ukwu, Okpanam, Issele-Azagba and Issele-Ukwu, were much closer to the
Kingdom of Nri . Ofega was the queen for the Onitsha Igbo.Igbo imabana

Main article: Kingdom of Nri
The Kingdom of Nri is considered to be the foundation of Igbo culture , and the oldest Kingdom in Nigeria. [5] Nri and Aguleri, where the Igbo creation myth originates, are in the territory of the Umueri clan, who trace their lineages back to the patriarchal king-figure, Eri. [6] Eri's origins are unclear, though he has been described as a "sky being" sent by Chukwu (God). [6][7] He has been characterized as having first given societal order to the people of Anambra. [7]
Archaeological evidence suggests that Nri
hegemony in Igboland may go back as far as the 9th century, [8] and royal burials have been unearthed dating to at least the 10th century. Eri, the god-like founder of Nri, is believed to have settled the region around 948 with other related Igbo cultures following after in the 13th century. [9] The first Eze Nri (King of Nri), Ìfikuánim, followed directly after him. According to Igbo oral tradition, his reign started in 1043. [10] At least one historian puts Ìfikuánim's reign much later, around 1225. [

Yoruba
Ife bronze casting of
Oduduwa, dated around 12th century, in the British Museum.
Historically the Yoruba people have been the dominant group on the west bank of the Niger . Their nearest linguistic relatives are the Igala who live on the opposite side of the Niger's divergence from the Benue , and from whom they are believed to have split about 2,000 years ago. The Yoruba were organized in mostly
patrilineal groups that occupied village communities and subsisted on agriculture. From approximately the 8th century, adjacent village compounds called ile coalesced into numerous territorial city-states in which clan loyalties became subordinate to dynastic chieftains. Urbanization was accompanied by high levels of artistic achievement, particularly in terracotta and ivory sculpture and in the sophisticated metal casting produced at Ife .
The Yoruba paid tribute to a pantheon composed of an impersonal Supreme Deity,
Olorun . The Olorun is now called God in the Yoruba language. There are 400 lesser deities who perform various tasks. According to the Yoruba, Oduduwa is regarded as both the creator of the earth and the ancestor of the Yoruba kings. According to one of the various myths about him, he founded Ife and dispatched his sons and daughters to establish similar kingdoms in other parts of what is today known as Yorubaland . The
Yorubaland now consists of different tribes from different states which are located in the Southwestern part of the
country , states like Oyo State , Ondo State , Ekiti State , Ogun State , among others.

Fall
Hausa-Fulani Sokoto Caliphate in the 19th century
Despite relatively constant growth, the states were vulnerable to aggression and, although the vast majority of its inhabitants were Muslim by the 16th century, they were attacked by Fulani
jihadists from 1804 to 1808. In 1808 the Hausa Nation was finally conquered by
Usuman dan Fodio and incorporated into the Hausa-Fulani Sokoto Caliphate . [4]
