Politics / Top Ten Entertainers Who Gained From The 2015 General Elections by Dengrossed1: 4:05pm On Dec 30, 2015
#OSGRecap2015: Top Ten Entertainers Who Gained From The General Elections


The year 2015 will no doubt remain a very historic one for Nigeria as a result of the political activities most especially the General elections which shaped the year under review.

olorisupergal.com in its usual way of reviewing the activities that rocked the year takes a round-up survey of some Entertainers that participated in the Electoral year and how they fared either through their Ambitions, Supports, Campaigns and/or affiliations to the political players.

Below are our top ten gainers

DESMOND ELLIOT
: The Nigerian Actor, Director cum politician who has starred in over two hundred films and a number of television shows and soap operas. Elliot declared his intentions in September 2014 to run for the Lagos State House Of Assembly under the All Progressives Congree, APC. He contested and won the Surulere Constituency in the April 11, 2015 General Elections.

DAYO ‘D1’ ADENEYE: Although he couldn’t get the party ticket to contest for Ogun State House of Assembly from his home town, D1 is no doubt a gainer as he was recently appointed Ogun State Commissioner for Information by the State Governor Ibikunle Amosun. This is not suprising as the Odogbolu born journalist was prior to the elections appointed a member of the campaign team for the re-election bid of Governor Amosun under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

9ICE: is a Nigerian musician. Although 9ice revealed his intention to contest for a political office in his native Ogbomosho in Oyo state, he later joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) where he contested for a seat at the Federal House of Representatives. He however lost out during the primaries but was named Special Adviser to the Oyo state Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.

IYANYA: Although the ‘Kukure’ crooner did not contest for any elective political office, he is however a beneficiary of the 2015 election as he has just been appointed Cross-River State Ambassador by the State Governor Benedict Ayade. This appointment comes with an official Car, monthly salary and an office. Iyanya no doubt got this mouth-watering appointment as a result of his closeness and support for the Peoples Democratic Party led government in Cross-River State.

KATE HENSHAW: The award winning thespian lost her ticket to represent the Calabar South Federal Constituency under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). However, Henshaw made our list of gainers when she was recently appointed Special Adviser, Liaison by the Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade.

In a related vein, it is fitting to mention some other entertainers who though neither contested nor got any political appointments, but may be said to be potential gainers by reason of the victory of the candidates they supported. The current tenure is only seven months old, they might in the long run bag their own portion of the political lot. 2016 is surely a year to watch out for in this respect.

FEMI ADEBAYO: The award winning Actor, Comedian, MC and recently Musician cannot deny the fact that the 2015 elections did bring good tidings to his camp. Femi, fondly called JELILI by his teeming fans didn’t contest for any post but was very active during the electioneering year as he was always seen around the campaign convoy of Kwara State Governor Alhaji Abdul-fatah Ahmed.

Femi also produced television and radio jingles in support of the candidature of Governor Ahmed. The victory of Alhaji Abdul-fatah Ahmed as Governor of Kwara State for a second term on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, no doubt is a big achievement to the thespian.

Nairaland / General / Shi’ites Killings: Falana Calls For Prosecution Of Buratai, Others by Dengrossed1: 7:52am On Dec 24, 2015
A human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), in a statement titled, ‘Armed soldiers who attacked Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaki should be prosecuted,’ has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, and other soldiers, who took part in the violent attack and arson in Zaria, Kaduna State, in which scores of members of the Shi’ite movement were killed, were prosecuted.

Falana, while citing the 1996 case between the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi and the late Gen. Sani Abacha, where the Court of Appeal had ordered the Attorney-General of the Federation, the Inspector-General of Police and the operatives of the Department of State Services to allow the late Fawehinmi’s wife and personal physicians to have access to him in prison “at all reasonable times.” implored the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, to allow detainees arrested with respect to the December 13 clash between the army and the Shi’ites have access to their family members, doctors and lawyers.

Falana said, “In requesting the Inspector-General of Police to allow access to the detainees, his attention ought to be drawn to Section 14(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act which provides as follows:

“A person who has the custody of an arrested suspect shall give the suspect reasonable facilities for obtaining legal advice, access to communication for taking steps to furnish bail, and otherwise making arrangements for his defence or release.

“In the light of the foregoing, we urge the police boss to allow the detainees access to their family members, personal physicians and legal practitioners at all reasonable times. Having undertaken to end impunity in the country, President Buhari should ensure that the Chief of Army Staff and all the soldiers who took part in the violent attack and arson in Zaria are brought to book without any further delay.”

Sports / Read Louis Van Gaal’s Rant To Journalists As He Storms Out Of News Conference by Dengrossed1: 8:00pm On Dec 23, 2015
UNDER-FIRE Louis Van Gaal appears to be cracking under the strain of turning round Manchester United’s fortunes.
Van Gaal delivered an angry and emotional monologue before storming out of a press conference that lasted less than five minutes.

After a week when his job has come under intense scrutiny from fans and the media and Jose Mourinho touted as a replacement, Van Gaal hit back – and bizarrely started by asking for apologies from reporters who he accused of ignoring the facts.

Asked for a response to Arsene Wenger’s claim that the Dutchman’s treatment has been disrespectful, Van Gaal said: “Has anybody in this room not a feeling to apologise to me? That’s what I’m wondering.

“I think I was already sacked, I read. I have been sacked. My colleague (Mourinho) was here already. What do you think happens with my wife or my kids? Or with my grandchildren? Or with the fans of Manchester United? Or my friends? What do you think?

“They have called me a lot of times and also Arsene Wenger is saying something about that. So you think that I want to talk with the media now.

“I am here only because of the Premier League rules. I have to talk with you. But I can only see when I say something that you use my words in your context.
