Adams Oshiomhole, the Governor of Edo State is currently battling for survival after a ghastly auto crash which his aides noted that is not serious. Sources within Government House have confided to the press that he was flown to Lagos in a chartered plane to London to get treatment in an undisclosed hospital where he is being treated.

The reliable sources stated that contrary to the tales told by his media aide, Kassim Afegbua that all was well with the governor; the truth is that the governor sustained serious injuries on his head as well as pains in his heart. We gathered that he was first attended to in the government house by his Doctor of Physiotherapist and Medical doctor, but he never responded well to immediate treatment, hence he was promptly flown out in secret.http://deolaphilips..com/2013/12/governor-oshiomhole-in-critical.html

you see what i mean...... mmmm

It is of a truth that there are some unscrupulous and untrue government officials who are seriously leading the president to a very shameful and destructive pathway with their mouths widely opened to the public filled with lies and deceptive speeches.
If we like we might tag them as political sycophants or the untrue friends of Jonathan.

Is it not glaring to even a day old child that there's is no single job created by the government ? If really there's, can someone please ask the finance minister to mention just one....i mean just one. Nigerians are becoming too used to these bamboozle methods of government's airing.

See what the woman said below during her presentation at an interactive session with the private sector: http://deolaphilips..com/2013/12/can-someone-please-tell-okonjo-iweala.html

Yea....she's pregnant and expecting baby soon.

I don’t understand why people cannot criticize their corrupt leaders or under performing government officials anymore. The social media is the voice of the ordinary man, they can’t take it away from us. Thank God, Atiku Abubakar is kicking against the proposed bill seeking seven-year jail term for social media critics.
We understand some people do misuse it but it has brought about more accountability and transparency from our leaders.

This would be a difficult situation to face by these artiste as The Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria, BON, and the Independent Broadcasting Association of Nigeria, IBAN, have stopped airing musical productions belonging to the following musicians; Chief Ebenezer Obey, 2Face Idibia, Onyeka Onwenu, Banky W,Iyanya, Azizat, D’Banj, Olamide, Dr. SID, Sammy Okposo, Olu Maintain, Sunny Neji, Rugged Man, Jasman Olofin, X-Project, Asa, African China, Terry G, Waje, Omawumi, Sound Sultan and J Martins.
The two bodies said they were constrained to take this step principally as “a result of COSON’s attitude of antagonism and harassment under the leadership of Tony Okoroji (COSON Chairman)”.

“No person or organisation, particularly a collection society such as COSON has a monopoly of authority over any other…IBAN and BON have the utmost respect for Nigerian artistes in their individual and collective capacities and have indeed contributed more than any known institution to the promotion of Nigerian music and the development of the entertainment industry as a whole,” the statement reads.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Author – Nigeria

With the release of her much anticipated novel Americanah and the release of the movie adaptation of her novel Half of a Yellow Sun, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton. Yes, it has been a good year, but Adichie does not look like a lady who will be slowing down in 2014. As someone who is not afraaid to confront the difficult subjects of race, gender and politics, and is a proud African, who continues to campaign against the one-story narrative about Africa, we can't wait to see what she will do next.
