Baba Hafusa, the 3rd studio album by Nigerian rapper Reminisce has debuted at Number 12 on the Billboard World Music Albums Chart. Having received massive critical acclaim, the album which is selling out fast both online and offline made it to the prestigious music chart this past week http://www.billboard.com/biz/charts/2015-05-16/world-albums

Tuface Idibia’s Ascension as well as ASA’s Beautiful Imperfection are the only other Nigerian albums to have made it to the Billboard top world music album chart, debuting at number 12 and number 5 respectively. No Nigerian Hip-Hop album has ever made it to the chart.

The Baba Hafusa album which was released on the 30th of April 2015 remained on the number one spot on the iTunes World Music chart for seven days straight, prompting fans, critics and music aficionados to label Reminisce’s 3rd album as a major contender for Album of the Year in any Nigerian or African music award lineup.

Chart positions on the Billboard Chart are generally determined by key fan interactions with artistes’ music, and include album sales and downloads, track downloads, radio airplay as well as social media interactions.

In July 2014, TIME Magazine named Reminisce as one of its seven world rappers to meet in the article “Forget Eminem: World Rappers You Should Meet” http://time.com/2977682/forget-eminem-world-rappers-you-should-meet/

Does Iggy Azalea look different to you?

The 24-year-old Aussie rapper took the red carpet last night for the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, and while she mentioned an "image overhaul" to E! News, it's possible she wasn't just talking about her new pink tresses.

Iggy reportedly went under the knife to get a nose job and chin implant, which she supposedly debuted yesterday. According to Us Weekly, the celeb got the procedures done just a few months after opening up about her breast augmentation.

"She loves the results! She wasn't happy with her nose for a long time, so after the boobs she wanted to get that taken care of and then got the chin done at the same time," a source told Us.

Azalea's rep was not immediately available for comment.

"I'm recording a new album so I felt like I need a new change of hair and change of style, so I'm feeling very, very vamped," Iggy told Giuliana Rancic on the carpet last night. The "Pretty Girls" crooner wore a baby blue crop top and matching skirt with sheer panels, which accentuated her hot pink tips.

While it's very possible that her facial differences could be due to the magic of contouring, Iggy has been upfront about getting work done before.

In late March, the blond beauty took part in Vogue's 73 questions interview challenge. In the comfort of her Los Angeles home, she opened up about her figure and revealed quite the bombshell about her chest. "I did change something: Four months ago, I got bigger boobs!" she shared with the publication. "I'd thought about it my entire life."

"I love them so much I had to talk about them," Iggy told E! News afterwards at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

"Everybody did say, 'I don't think you need to say it because no one will ever know because they're so small,'" Iggy said with a laugh. "I said, 'I know but I'm just going to say it [because] I'm a blabber mouth!'"

Well then, it's safe to assume that if she really did go under the knife again, we'll hear about it.

Very creative

The MTV #ShugaTour finale which held last Saturday at the indoor Sports hall of the University of Lagos, was many things to different people. For some it was a time to dance and be merry. For others, it was an opportunity to meet with their favourite music stars; Patoranking, Ice Prince and Reminisce but for fast rising artist, Fola David, it was a chance to exhibit his outstanding talent to the world.

The 500 level student of Medicine and Surgery in the University of Lagos shocked many when in less than five minutes, he painted a portrait of popular reggae-dancehall singer, Patoranking with the aid of his brush and paint.

Perhaps what was even more shocking was that he made the painting upside down, a style believed to be one of the most technical approaches to painting.

Further findings reveal that this is not the first of David’s paintings. He has in recent times painted celebrities including Kunle Afolayan, Emma Nyra, Funke Akindele and many others.

5 MEALS TO TRY IN EDO.




The local cuisines in Edo state, located in the south-south zone of Nigeria, is a range of meals that are found in most other southern states, however there are some meals that are uniquely tied to their people. Although these indigenous meals have variations in other cultures and places, they are popular within the state and have come to be known as Edo food, as they are believed to have originated from the area. If you are visiting Edo state, it is important that you do not just explore the locales, but also gain the full Edo experience by tasting some of their widely recognized indigenous meals.

Black Soup (Omoebe)

This soup is nothing like the ancient Spartan soup made of boiled pigs’ legs, blood, salt and vinegar. Most certainly the most popular Edo food, the Black soup, locally referred to as Omoebe soup, is a tasty meal made from a combination of local herbs and spices. The name comes from the colour of the soup, as the vegetables used – Bitter leaf and Effirin (Scent Leaf) – when grounded gives off a very dark colour, and the fact that the banga sauce (Palm fruit sauce) rather than the palm oil itself is used, reduced the chances of colour. The Black soup is as nutritious as it is tasty. The herbs used are quite therapeutic and it is a good option for those on a diet as it can help reduce calories. Black soup is easy to make and best prepared at home, and It is best served with Pounded Yam, Eba or starch.If you are visiting Edo state and you want to have a teste of this local delicacy, you will find it in the menu of most restaurant in Edo state, especially Benin City.

Bini Owo soup


Named after Owo, a fairly large town about seventy miles north of Benin, Owo soup is one of the oldest dishes prepared and eaten by the Edo people. While the meal is believed to have originated from Benin, there are variations of it listed as indigenous meals of people from surrounding southern states. Unlike most Nigerian soups which are cooked with vegetables like spinach, greens, fluted pumpkin leaves e.t.c., Owo soup is usually thick and bare. It also requires Potash (okawu or kan) which is a rare ingredient for soups in Nigeria. Most who has enjoyed this meal tend to refer to it as stew rather than stew, especially as it is mostly served with unripe plantain or yam, rather than Eba or pounded yam. The soup is best prepared with Smoked Fish, Prawns and Bush meat (optional). It is also cooked and served in well-polished earthenware pots.

Omi Ukpoka (Corn soup)

Omi Ukpoka, generally known as Corn soup, is a meal common with the Afemai people, mainly from Agenebode in northern Edo state. Made with ground dry corn, smoked fish and a range of herbs (uda, uziza, African nutmeg), it has a very unique aroma that is inviting to the taste buds. The soup is best cooked and eaten at once as the corn tends to thicken further when cool. Due to its high carbohydrate content, it is not recommended for people on a diet. Corn soup is mostly served with pounded yam. But it can also be served with Eba, Fufu and Semo-vita.

Omisagwe (groundnut soup)

Similar to Miyan Taushe (a delicacy from Northern Nigeria) and Satay Sauce (an Asian sauce), Groundnut soup is a very popular meal in Edo state and possibly the tastiest of the Edo meals. A perfect blend of sweet and savory, the soup is made with groundnuts (peanuts), tomato and onion as the base, and can be considerably varied with chicken, beef or fish and different leaf vegetables as well as local seasoning for extra flavor. The soup is most common amongst Etsakor people in Edo state. If you have tasted other Nigerian meals and found them a little overwhelming, you might want to try again with groundnut soup as it most certainly should be the starting point for visitors who want to explore the various local dishes. The groundnut taste makes it easier to imbibe the meal. The groundnut soup is usually served with Pounded Yam or starch.


Pepper rice

While Pepper rice is not necessarily an indigenous Edo meal, it is very popular and considered one of the most consumed meal in the state. The meal which is most popular in the state capital – Benin city, is simply a meal of local rice (not Ofada rice) wrapped in green leaves, and extra spicy/peppery tomato-based stew cooked with beef and cow entrails. Some also include chicken and goat meat in the stew. The green leaves give the rice a very unique aroma, setting it apart from the regular boiled rice served across the country. Almost every restaurant in Benin City includes this meal in their menu, however, the most popular place to get an original taste of this meal is a restaurant called Mama Ebo Pepper Rice, located at Airport Rd, Benin City Nigeria.

WONDERS SHALL NEVER END.

The trekking carnival is yet to be over for the incoming president, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, as a Man of God, was alleged to have joined the merry band of hikers, as he was sighted trekking from Benin City to Abuja.Pastor Hitman Abaye Ozabor, who started the arduous trek on Saturday, was spotted in Okpella, Etsako East Local Government Area, Edo State.

It was learnt that the Man of God vowed to complete his journey to Abuja to congratulate the incoming president.

However, he said if he is unable to make it to Abuja, he will trek to Daura, the hometown of Gen. Buhari to meet and discuss the way forward..

We don’t know how true this is, but the pictorial testament alone has shown the magnitude of love Nigerians have for the president-elect, as it holds no bound.

Judging by my auspicious sense of assumption, the next we might be hearing will be a prostitute or armed robber trekking for Buhari. Hehehehe!!!

Sudama Devi, an Indian woman, eats 4 plates of sand everyday, and remains healthy.

Devi, 92, first ate sand when she was 10 years old, and has become quite addicted to it.

Mrs Devi said: “I eat sand daily, about one kilogram and three or four times in a day.”

“My economic condition is not good but I am fond of eating a good and healthy diet. I eat sand but it is not like a food.”

She added: “I had seven sons and three daughters but now I have only three sons and one daughter alive. No one eats sand.”

“Before marriage my father and my brother arranged sand for me and after marriage my husband Krishan Kumar arranged sand for me.”

“When I came first time (sic) in my husband’s home everybody felt surprised to see that a bride eats sand.”

Every since its official announcement back in 2013, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was poised to make a splash on RPG fans. The series has been a standard bearer when it comes to deep storytelling and involved combat, but The Witcher 3 appeared to be taking those concepts to new heights.

As a result, anticipation for The Witcher 3 is at an all-time high in preparation for its release on May 19th. Sure, the game has been delayed a few times to account for polish, but very soon gamers will be able to go hands-on with CD Projekt Red’s latest sequel.

But, before investing the time, and more importantly the money, many gamers may be curious to know whether The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt lives up to the hype. As the last game in Geralt’s adventure, there are a lot of questions about whether The Witcher 3 is a satisfying experience.

Luckily, early reviews for The Witcher 3 have already hit the Net and we’ve compiled those from the more reputable publications around. Here’s what critics have to say about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.


“Sloppy combat and ongoing optimization can’t quite spoil this dark fantasy adventure, set in a stunning world of blood and black magic.”

“The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a huge step up from its predecessor, mostly because it manages to tell a more compelling and personal tale. At the same time, that intimate feel is juxtaposed against a gigantic, sprawling open-world adventure that may hit some snags along the way but still comes out on top.”
“Though the straightforward and fetch-quest-heavy main story overstays its welcome, the option of joyfully adventuring through a rich, expansive open world was always there for me when I’d start to burn out. Even if the plot isn’t terribly interesting, the many characters who play a part in it are, and along with the excellent combat and RPG gameplay, they elevate The Witcher 3 to a plane few other RPGs inhabit.”
“After spending more than 100 hours in The Witcher 3, we’re still left with dozens of side quests to complete, enormous tracts of land left to explore, and monsters yet to fight. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a thoughtful, diverse, and frequently awe-inspiring adventure. Its stories are deep and satisfying, unafraid to touch on themes of personal character, presenting players with choices and consequences that aren’t about turning into a hero or a villain. In the end, it’s quite simply one of the best RPGs ever made.”

“The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is otherwise incredible and sumptuous; the little quirks are pronounced when they are surrounded by stellar details. And make no mistake: this is one of the best role-playing games ever crafted, a titan among giants and the standard-setter for all such games going forward. Where the Witcher 2 sputtered to a halt, The Witcher 3 is always in a crescendo, crafting battle scenarios that constantly one-up the last, until you reach the explosive finale and recover in the glow of the game’s quiet denouement. But while the grand clashes are captivating, it is the moments between conflicts, when you drink with the local clans and bask in a trobairitz’s song, that are truly inspiring.”

“Tricky one, this. A great game, undoubtedly, but a different game to the one many were expecting. And in an industry that places such enormous emphasis on pre-order sales, the manner in which a game presents itself in the months prior to launch matters. CDP RED did previously state that Skellige wasn’t accessible via real-time travel, but have referred to The Witcher 3 as an open-world game from the start. It’s been equally keen to draw Skyrim comparisons, and was sonorously vocal about games releasing in a sub-optimal state following its most recent delay. It is, simply, hoist by its own petard.”

“The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt encompasses what I hope is the future of RPGs. It stands out for its wonderful writing, variety of quests and things to do in the world, and how your choices have impact in interesting ways. Usually something is sacrificed when creating a world this ambitious, but everything felt right on cue. I still think about some of my choices and how intriguing they turned out – for better or worse. “

“It is in monster hunting (or “Witcher Contracts”) that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt separates itself from any of the games mentioned in comparison. From a checklist point-of-view it has all the hallmarks an open-world game requires: ungated regions, points-of-interest, loot, fast travel, multiple ways to traverse, crafting, dungeons, ever-evolving and engaging main and side-quests along with a cool, calm and collected character capable of kicking ass and getting a haircut (you can get haircuts). His tracking abilities and his measurement of the environment around him, however, empower players to embody a different type of character than one they might have created on their own. He has a history — one known throughout the land, and his ilk is both despised and adored for their profession. “
“There is no saving the world, here, no great evil force pervading the landscape, or a doomsday clock ticking down to inevitable destruction, with only you to stand in its way. The story of Wild Hunt is a personal one, set in a huge and unrelentingly beautiful world. And moving through it in that way makes you feel like a part of it, rather than an honoured guest, all eyes swung expectantly towards you. “
Although some of the The Witcher 3 reviews acknowledge performance hiccups, most critics seem to agree that the game’s experience is something truly special. With a story that transcends the binary choices of a game like Mass Effect, The Witcher 3, based on these reviews, sounds like it offers something truly deep.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt releases May 19, 2015 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

There’s a lot more to your member than meets the eye. Apart from its pretty damn impressive ability to make other penis-toting little men, here are six crazy things you didn’t know your penis could do.
It’s a ‘semen displacement device’

While you probably think of your dong as a device designed to inject semen, it’s also engineered to remove the semen of competitors, suggests research from the State University of New York, Albany.

You know that ridge at the base of your penis head—the raised part just north of your shaft? While you’re thrusting in and out of your partner, that ridge rakes away the semen of any foes who may have slid into home base ahead of you, the researchers say.
It can survive decapitation

Penectomy is a procedure that involves removing part or all of the penis. (It can be necessary if you have penis cancer.) But like the headless horseman, your dipstick doesn’t die if you cut off its head.

You can still urinate, have sex, and ejaculate even if the head has been removed, finds a study from Brazil.

Decapitation is far from the worst thing that could happen to your junk.
It can predict how your brain works

Men whose flaccid joysticks hang to the left—and that’s the majority of us—may be “left-brain dominant,” suggests research from the journal Human Reproduction.

If your package dangles to the left, research suggests that you may be “left-brain dominant.
Due to developmental hormones, left-brain dominance is also tied to right-handedness, a larger right foot than left, and other forms of body asymmetry, the study authors say.

The left brain hemisphere plays a large role in speaking, logic, and mathematical computations. The right brain is big when it comes to spatial and visual information, and pulling context out of a person’s words and tone.

So if your dick dangles to the left, that could help explain why you’re great at algebra but crappy at guessing your girlfriend’s mood.
It can ejaculate while limp

While boners and ejaculation are usually a package deal, you don’t have to be hard to expel semen, shows a study from California’s Oakland Medical Center.

Your pelvic muscles contract when you blow your load. But those muscles aren’t directly tied to the processes that make your penis erect. So while unusual, you can let fly even if you’re flaccid, the study authors say.

It can eject semen up to 8 feet

That’s according to a study conducted years ago at the University of Indiana by the famous sex researcher Alfred Kinsey. While there’s not much new data backing up that finding, one recent study from Weill Cornell Medical College found the force with which you ejaculate corresponds directly with how satisfied you feel about your orgasm.
It smiles during sex
Your face isn’t the only thing smiling between the sheets.
A study from France looked at the shape of your schlong during sex. When you and your partner are in the missionary position, your penis — including the portion of your shaft inside your body — basically forms a smile-shaped curve.

Why? Because it’s happy, of course!

Well, I was going through my facebook timeline when i saw a sweet Iphone 6 which drew my attention. Reading the post attached to the pic. I learnt that the expensive device was given as a gift to a lady.

Hard to believe tho, that a guy could spare 150k to get such device for a girl who isn’t his girlfriend yet,

Guess what?.. The girl accepted the Iphone 6 gift and rejected the guy’s proposal, claiming she is not moved by material things,

Dangote is worth about $15.7 billion, Arsenal football club is worth about $2bn but singer turned writer Etcetera doesn't believe he can afford it. Read what he wrote below and tell us what you think

You have sold some shares and you’ve got some money to spend. Now you want the ultimate: Your own football club. Hold on there, are you sure? Football clubs are a nightmare to run. In fact, almost two-thirds of premiership clubs have been in receivership at some point. Remember Portsmouth FC ploughed through four owners some seasons back and landed itself a debt of £60m and relegation in the Championship.

Think of Leeds United’s tragicomic collapse; the balls-up at Cambridge United; Rotherham going into receivership in 2006 and 2008; Southampton’s sorry saga. And, of course, Crawley Town getting a winding up order years back. So, what do we know? Don’t buy a football club for the glory. So, before Dangote aspires to join Abrahamovic, Glazers and Al Mansours, he should make sure he knows his stuff.

But does Dangote know how much these football clubs really cost?
It is often mistaken that these clubs go for a quid. For instance, Swansea City was bought by investors for £100, and sold four years later for a £1. But beware: underneath those figures lies a pile of debt.

Does Dangote have the cash, can he do an Abramovich?
ADVERTISEMENT
No, he can’t. New UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations already in place, require clubs to balance their income and expenses. Dangote cannot operate under such rules. The premiership is too organised and transparent for any businessman to easily manipulate. The wage structure of footballers is too large for a businessman like Dangote to take on. Let us forget that those goons at Forbes have told us that Dangote is Africa’s richest man. As it stands, he cannot afford the outright purchase of a big football club like Arsenal. It is as simple as that. He will go broke. It is a possibility if we are talking about a club in the coast of West Africa. Dangote has most of his wealth in shares and physical assets and the football business requires liquid cash to sustain. Have we all forgotten that the same Dangote got a 3G licence and sold it to Etisalat? He is a very smart businessman who knows how to pick his areas of investments.

Can he get Bank backing?
Unlikely! No serious private equity firm would get involved with a football club. They are not proper businesses. Too much politics, too many egos. And there’s no proper exit route – the history of football clubs on the stock market is chequered, to say the least. They are rich men’s toys, great for entertaining your mates, and that’s about it. I don’t think Dangote can afford such an expensive toy.
A lot of people think it is relatively easy to make a million pounds by being the owner of a football club. That all you have to do is put in that first two million pounds. But these people should also know that since the English Premier League was formed in 1992, football finances have dried up to the extent that making a million pound profit is no longer a walk in the park. It is also the case that buying a football club is unlikely to yield that much of a return. Despite the significant TV and other commercial revenues, football clubs in England’s top flight still struggle to break even. This is ironic, given the goal of setting up the Premier League was to stabilise club finances.

Is Dangote putting his heart over his head?
Yes I think so. Simon Jordan, in his autobiography, tells the story of how owning a football club can go terribly wrong. Jordan amassed a fortune of £75m in the early days of the mobile phone revolution. In 2000, he paid £10m to take control of South London football team Crystal Palace, becoming the youngest football club chairman at the age of 32. He was warned by many not to do it, but having watched the club since his childhood, he could not resist. Fast-forward 10 years and the club was in administration and Jordan’s personal wealth largely wiped out. It is reported that Roman Abramovich, the Russian owner of Chelsea, has written off more than one billion pounds he ploughed into the club since acquiring it in 2003. Catching him up fast is Sheikh Mansour from Abu Dhabi, who has invested close to one billion pounds in Manchester City since 2008. Can Dangote write off such a huge amount of money? It is in fact the amount of money he borrows to invest in businesses. But again, I think Dangote is just trying to hype himself. Most of the serious money flowing into football recently has come from the Middle East. The Qatar Investment Authority (the country’s sovereign wealth fund) bought the French Ligue 1 side Paris St Germain in 2011 and has gone about transforming them in the same way Sheikh Mansour has Manchester City. Forget those guys at Forbes, Dangote is not in the same league as these guys.

The Glazer Family bought Manchester United in 2006, recognising the immense value of its global brand as a cash generator and the opportunities to enhance it even further. The cost of buying the club was loaded on to the club itself, with the revenues it generates used to pay the debt and interest that the Glazers undertook to buy the club. Eventually, the hope is that the club will essentially pay for itself leaving its American owners in possession of a multi-billion pound asset but till date, the Glazers are still gnashing their teeth and are still neck deep in debt. When it was speculated that a Middle East consortium was willing to pay £1.5bn for Arsenal Football Club, it was stated that Stan Kroenke, the American who owns about 63 per cent of the shares in the club, would have made just £400m on his shares. So, given the appalling financial returns, why do people buy football clubs?

Who can buy Arsenal football club?
Anyone can buy Arsenal football club, but that anyone doesn’t include anyone who obtains bank loans to fund a business. Sir John Madejski, chairman of Reading Football Club, describes the ideal football club owner as having deep pockets, mercurial, and not faint-hearted.

But these people should also know that since the English Premier League was formed in 1992, football finances have dried up to the extent that making a million pound profit is no longer a walk in the park. It is also the case that buying a football club is unlikely to yield that much of a return. Despite the significant TV and other commercial revenues, football clubs in England’s top flight still struggle to break even. This is ironic, given the goal of setting up the Premier League was to stabilise club finances.

Is Dangote putting his heart over his head?
Yes I think so. Simon Jordan, in his autobiography, tells the story of how owning a football club can go terribly wrong. Jordan amassed a fortune of £75m in the early days of the mobile phone revolution. In 2000, he paid £10m to take control of South London football team Crystal Palace, becoming the youngest football club chairman at the age of 32. He was warned by many not to do it, but having watched the club since his childhood, he could not resist. Fast-forward 10 years and the club was in administration and Jordan’s personal wealth largely wiped out. It is reported that Roman Abramovich, the Russian owner of Chelsea, has written off more than one billion pounds he ploughed into the club since acquiring it in 2003. Catching him up fast is Sheikh Mansour from Abu Dhabi, who has invested close to one billion pounds in Manchester City since 2008. Can Dangote write off such a huge amount of money? It is in fact the amount of money he borrows to invest in businesses. But again, I think Dangote is just trying to hype himself. Most of the serious money flowing into football recently has come from the Middle East. The Qatar Investment Authority (the country’s sovereign wealth fund) bought the French Ligue 1 side Paris St Germain in 2011 and has gone about transforming them in the same way Sheikh Mansour has Manchester City. Forget those guys at Forbes, Dangote is not in the same league as these guys.

The Glazer Family bought Manchester United in 2006, recognising the immense value of its global brand as a cash generator and the opportunities to enhance it even further. The cost of buying the club was loaded on to the club itself, with the revenues it generates used to pay the debt and interest that the Glazers undertook to buy the club. Eventually, the hope is that the club will essentially pay for itself leaving its American owners in possession of a multi-billion pound asset but till date, the Glazers are still gnashing their teeth and are still neck deep in debt. When it was speculated that a Middle East consortium was willing to pay £1.5bn for Arsenal Football Club, it was stated that Stan Kroenke, the American who owns about 63 per cent of the shares in the club, would have made just £400m on his shares. So, given the appalling financial returns, why do people buy football clubs?

Who can buy Arsenal football club?
Anyone can buy Arsenal football club, but that anyone doesn’t include anyone who obtains bank loans to fund a business. Sir John Madejski, chairman of Reading Football Club, describes the ideal football club owner as having deep pockets, mercurial, and not faint-hearted.

Surabaya (Indonesia) (AFP) - Indonesian police have arrested a suspected wildlife smuggler after discovering nearly two dozen rare live birds, mostly yellow-crested cockatoos, jammed inside plastic water bottles in his luggage.

The 37-year-old man was stopped by police on Monday as he alighted from a passenger ship in Surabaya, a city on the main island of Java.

Photographs show the birds, with distinctive yellow plumage, peering out of the bottles after being found by officers. The bottoms of the bottles had been cut off to squeeze the birds inside.

The head of the criminal investigation unit at Tanjung Perak port, Aldy Sulaiman, said police found the birds stashed inside the man's luggage.

"We found 21 yellow-crested cockatoos and one green parrot," he said.

"All the birds were found inside water bottles, which were packed in a crate."



The birds have since been sent to Indonesia's natural resources conservation office, which deals with wildlife-trafficking cases.

Sulaiman said the man -- whose identity was not disclosed in line with normal criminal procedure in Indonesia -- had admitted carrying two birds for a friend but claimed to know nothing about the other animals.

If found guilty of smuggling, the man, from near Surabaya, could face up to five years in prison.

Yellow-crested cockatoos are native to Indonesia and neighbouring East Timor and considered critically endangered, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

They are different to the larger and more common sulphur-crested cockatoo which is mostly found in Australia and New Guinea.

The Voice of Widows, Divorcees and Orphans Association of Nigeria (VOWAN), has urged outgoing first lady, Dame Patience to embrace defeat and allow the African First Ladies Summit to hold as originally scheduled in July.

Speaking through its executive director, the group described as ‘indecent’ and ‘unbefitting’ the apparent desperation of Mrs Jonathan in rigging out the in-coming first lady, Aisha Buhari by hosting the summit two months ahead of the scheduled date of July.

If we recall, the African First Ladies Peace Mission (AFLPM) is due to elect its president during the forthcoming summit. Mrs Jonathan was re-elected on July 26, 2012 at the 7th Summit in Abuja.

In a letter dated April 6, Dame Patience had pleaded for a change of date to enable her host the conference two weeks before she leaves office.

However, observers described the haste to host the event as attempt at ‘rigging’.

VOWAN noted that Mrs Jonathan’s decision “smacks of a hidden agenda and sheer desperation as she prepares to leave office having served her second and final term as president.”

The statement similarly advised the first ladies of the 52 member countries to stick to the original date of July in order not to disrupt its calendar.

“Mrs Jonathan should emulate her husband by not interfering in the calendar of AFLPM for whatever reason. It is indecent to reschedule the summit and smacks of a hidden agenda and sheer desperation”, the statement said.

Dear Korede Bello, please do not remix Godwin

Korede Bello must be on cloud nine. His song Godwin is currently Nigeria’s most popular song. So popular is it that some have even gone as far as saying it is now the de facto anthem of Nigerians all over the world. With this one song, he has achieved what every musician actively aims for. It is also important to note that this song is actually Korede’s second or third single as a professional musician. With this, he has joined the likes of Davido, Kiss Daniel and Patoranking as musicians who through one single attained ‘superstar status’ or in his own unique case, ‘mega superstar status’.

I did not fully appreciate how popular the song was until almost all politicians who emerged victorious during the just concluded elections adopted it as their ‘unofficial victory anthem’. Akinwunmi Ambode, governor elect of Lagos state is said to be especially fond of the song. In fact, it was the song of choice when he and APC party stalwarts gathered at the party headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos to celebrate his victory at the polls.

With all the plaudits the song has gotten, I would like to sound a note of warning to Korede and Mavin Records. Leave the song as it is. Please do not remix it. Do not get me wrong, I’m not saying remixing the song will be a bad thing, I just feel it would be unnecessary to make a Godwin remix. Some might argue that a remix might actually make the song last longer in the minds of music lovers. An example to support this case would be Patoranking’s Girlie O ft. Tiwa Savage. The remix was so good that most people forgot about the original. But let us also not forget that major hit songs like Oritsefemi’s Double Wahala Iyanya’s Kukere, Davido’s Damiduro, Olamide’s First Of All, and Kiss Daniel’s Woju had remixes that were considered outright failures in every sense. Even though they all featured ‘A list’ musicians like Akon, Dbanj, Tiwa Savage and Davido.

Though Korede might not realise it, he has made a song that would be around for a long, long time. You know your song is a hit when you are invited to perform it in churches. Though some pastors might consider it a ‘secular’ song.

Also in all this, one must not forget Don Jazzy’s input in all this. He remains like the proverbial wine that gets better with time. 3 of his new school artistes (Korede, Reekado Banks and Di’Ja) all have songs topping the charts currently. Other acts signed to his Mavin records like Tiwa Savage, Dr Sid and D Prince are also doing well. Kudos to him.

One can only hope Korede develops on the success of Godwin and keep giving us good music. We wouldn’t want him to turn into a ‘one hit wonder’.
