Ok

President Jonathan’s
book goes to top of
best seller list
27 Dec 2010
We are still trying to get him to
be a fan of our Facebook page
Abuja – Nigerian President
Goodluck Jonathan’s book of his
Facebook interactions has
become the fastest selling book
ever in the history of Nigeria - a
record usually held by Pastors.
When the Nigerian President
announced his plan to release
the book, to stimulate the
reading culture in Nigeria, many
naysayers sniggered at him.
Some even questioned his sanity:
“Has the ghost of his
predecessor been haunting Aso
rock, thus turning him mad ?”
they asked.
His political opponents gleefully
looked forward to the book
launch, expecting it to be the
biggest flop since the attempt on
the 50th Anniversary, to bake the
biggest cake in the world.
IBB particularly, was overheard
telling someone on the phone
that, “After this, we will only have
Atiku to worry about.”
The President, however, seems to
have had the last laugh. His book
not only earned him praise for
“ Bringing Facebook to Nigeria,” –
a claim which Facebook’s lawyers
are still looking into - but he has
also now officially outsold every
single self-improvement book,
prayer book, re-prints of Ikebe
super, and every one of Wole
Soyinka ’s cryptic manuscripts
ever published.
As of going to press, 10,000,000
copies of the President ’s books
had been sold.
Indeed, if his aim is really to
stimulate the reading culture in
Nigeria, ten million people will
now learn how to read and write
Facebook English. LWKMD.
Enemies of progress are
however quick to question the
sales figures, asking how it ’s
possible that a book by GEJ can
outsell “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.”
Well, we can authoritatively reveal
how the President managed to
shift a cool ten million copies in a
week:
Sales to date:
Minister of Information: 5000
copies
Ministry of Information: 500,000
copies
Other Ministers: 60,000 copies
Other Ministries: 1,200,000
copies
State Governors: 25,000 copies
each
Governor Alao Akala: 1,000,000
(WTF?!)
State first ladies: 15,000 copies
each
Senators: 10,000 copies each
House of rep members: 10,000
copies each
Dimeji Bankole: 50,000 copies
National Library: 1 copy
Other dignitaries at the book
launch: 1,000,000 copies
Unknown PDP supporter:
5,000,000 copies
State legislators: 500 copies each
Wives of state legislators: 250
copies each
Government contractors:
2,500,000 copies
Atiku Campaign organisation: 10
copies
The list goes on, but the point is
made.
Reacting to the news, a certain
Presidential aspirant is said to be
planning the launch of his own
book, “My Top 1000 Twits,”
while another has just rushed to
his publishers with a book titled,
“ MySpace- Your World.”

[b][/b] Jim Iyke turns down
Adedibu role
27 Jan 2011
He can't act the part of a local
man, mehn
Lagos - Veteran Nollywood Actor,
Jim Iyke, has turned down an
offer to play the lead role in a
Movie adaptation of the life of
late Ibadan strong man, Lamidi
Adedibu.
The three part Movie will follow
the late Adidibu's life from
touting on the streets of Ibadan
to political willing and dealing all
the way to the FCT.
The first part of the Movie
focuses on Adedibu ’s early years
and it is this role that Jim Iyke
has rejected.
Explaining his decision to
journalists, Mr Iyke explained that
haven read the script it became
obvious to him that the role just
wouldn't make use of his 'special
gift.'
Said he: "Mehn, this role aint
dope enough for an actor of my
calibre mehn. I know the guy
was like really big 'n' all, but
mehn, he was local mehn. Just
see the lines they want me to act,
mehn."
Another actor being considered
for the role is Emeka Enyiocha,
whom some people consider to
be very appropriate indeed for
the part.
For the same Movie production,
Ramsay Noah's name has been
mentioned for the role of a
young Alao-Akala, the bejewelled
Governor of Oyo state.
Producers initially favoured
Ramsay for the part of the
Governor because they both
share a fair complexion, but on
further research it was
discovered that the Governor
was not always light skinned. In
fact, he was quite dark skinned
in his youth, thus making Ramsay
inaccurate for the part.

;DA MAN of 29 who is set to become Britain's youngest grandfather when his teenage daughter gives birth was today criticised for trying to 'cash in' on the pregnancy. The soon-to-be record breaker was earlier said to be "fuming" that his 14-year-old daughter was 11 weeks pregnant because she was due to start her school exam courses. But neighbours said he was in fact celebrating because more state benefits would be given to his family - and said he had bragged about "making a fortune" on selling his story. The man - whose identity is being kept a secret to protect his young daughter - is now said to be in negotiations to sell his family's story to a Sunday newspaper. But before talks with the tabloid had begun, the man said: "It ’s like history repeating itself". "I quite like the idea of being the youngest grandad in Britain, but at the same time I ’m fuming that she is pregnant.
