American rap mogul Diddy was arrested in Los
Angeles on Monday for assault with a deadly
weapon — in this case, a kettlebell. Diddy — real
name Sean Combs, 45 — likely will be moved to
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
Inmate Reception Center, officials said.
Entertainment website TMZ said that Combs
attacked one of the trainers at the center. It
was not immediately clear what transpired. But
one of Comb's sons has played special teams
for
the university's squad.
"I'm thankful that our staff showed the level of
professionalism that they did in handling this
situation. This is an unfortunate incident for all
parties involved," football coach Jim Mora said
in
a statement.
"While UCPD continues to review this matter, we
will let the legal process run its course and
refrain from further comment at this time."
Combs, who had a hand in the careers of artists
including Mary J. Blige, Biggie, Usher and Lil'
Kim, has an estimated $700 million fortune. He
has worked an a top artist, producer, actor,

Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo has vowed to
keep
kidnappers out of business as the government
will continue to demolish their hideouts. A
statement from the Chief Press Secretary to the
Governor, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo, said in Owerri
on Tuesday that the demolition was part of the
measure to prevent kidnapping and other violent
crimes in collaboration with the security
agencies.
The statement quoted the governor as
expressing concern about the trend of
kidnapping
which he described as "ugly" during his visit to
the Department of State Services (DSS). "The
government is battle ready to end kidnapping
and
violent crimes in the state to ensure the safety
of lives and property of the residents.
"Let me again warn criminals and kidnappers to
get out of Imo because this is not a place for
you. We are ready for you," Okorocha was
quoted
as saying. He recalled that four years ago
before
he assumed office as governor, kidnappers and
other criminals traumatised the state until his
administration brought it to a halt.
He said the government would continue to
demolish houses belonging to kidnappers or any
building where kidnap victims were kept. The
governor advised parents and guardians to
monitor the activities of their wards and report
suspicious movements to the security agencies.
"Any house of any kidnapper or where a
kidnapper is found will be demolished. "Moreso,
houses of kidnappers' parents will equally be
demolished if their lifestyle and means of
livelihood did not justify the buildings," he said.
Earlier, Mr Francis Ejiofor, the Director of the
DSS, said the command had set up a task force
in the three zones of the state to combat
crimes
.
He said the task force had recorded successes
in tracking and arresting kidnappers in the state.
Ejiofor said the department arrested six kidnap
suspects while their victim, Mr Nnawike Chilaka,
was freed after being held captive for five days.
He said the suspects included a security man
from Niger Republic, a student of the Federal
Polytechnic Nekede, a female secondary school
student, and three others. Source: http://www.gidimasters.com/2015/06/we-have-signed-vehement-battle-against.html?m=1

All Progressives Congress’ state governors have
expressed concern over the ongoing leadership
crisis in the National Assembly.They have
therefore decided to invite their senators and
prevail on them on the need to respect party
supremacy on any matter.The decision was
taken at a late night meeting the APC governors
had with President Muhammadu Buhari at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.The
meeting which was held behind closed-doors
ended in the early hours of Wednesday.At the
end of the meeting, Governor Rochas Okorocha
of Imo State told State House correspondents
that he and his colleagues were worried by the
development in the National Assembly and
decided to rub minds with the President on the
matter.He said they also used the opportunity
of the meeting to commend the President on
the steps he has taken so far to address the
issue of the economy of the nation which he
said was literarily in shamble.Okorocha
described the meeting with the President as
more reassuring, adding that there is light at the
dark end of the tunnel.He said, “With all these
achievements and progress we are making, we
are worried by the pockets of disagreements
going on at the National Assembly.“We have
resolved that we came from a party and our
party’s views should be respected.“So, we feel
that there is the need for us to invite our
senators and look more into the matter and see
how we can all make peace.“We believe that
everyone should respect our party from which
we all came from and for that reason, we have
decided that we are going to invite our senators
and rub minds with them.“We are saying that
there should not be a winner-takes-it-all; that
we should carry everybody along and
accommodate others as suggested by the
party.”Also, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo
State said all they agreed on was that senators
should adopt the position of the party.“We were
all elected on the platform of the party. We are
not just a collection of individuals, we are a
political party and when the party has spoken
we must listen, otherwise if it was a game of
individuals like golf then individuals can go their
way.“I think it is very clear at this point that the
party has the responsibility to keep the system
going, so we as progressive governors, we have
listened to the President and we have discussed
extensively and we are clear that the party’s
position should be supported by the
senators.“This is the way it should be and we
should start on a note of working closely. We
as governors, we listen to the party, we expect
our senators to also listen to the party.“We are
going to call them and tell them this is it and
explain our reasons, it is about party
supremacy.The meeting, which started at about
a few minutes before 11pm on Tuesday, was
attended by 16 APC governors.Buhari had,
earlier in the day, met with all state
governors.The first meeting which was at the
instance of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum was
to find a lifeline for state governments who
have been unable to pay salaries because of
financial crisis.Some of the governors later
joined some traditional rulers from the North for
the traditional breaking of Ramadan fast before
attending the late night meeting. Source: http://www.gidimasters.com/2015/06/apc-governors-resolve-to-caution.html?m=1

Commissioner for Information and strategy in Ogun
State, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, as his Special
Adviser on Media.

National Assembly, Dr. Benedict Effeturi, on

The Immediate Past Governor of Rivers State, Mr.
Rotimi Amaechi, has said the state was in
comatose when he assumed office more than eight
years ago.
Amaechi, in Abuja on Tuesday, added that because
his government was accountable to the people, he
would not shy away from giving the account of his
administration to the electorate.
The former governor was reacting to series of
allegations made against his government by his
successor, Mr. Nyesom Wike, at a press briefing in
Abuja on Monday.
Amaechi, who spoke through his former
Commissioner for Information, Mrs. Ibim
Semenitari, said the sorry state of the state was
made worse due to many years of militancy and
criminality that, he said, forced government and
business in the state to a standstill.
Semenitari said most of the issues being raised by
Wike were also contained in the assignment the
governor gave to the commission of inquiry he set
up to look into how he ran the state.
The former commissioner said, “Amaechi inherited
a state that was in comatose and in dire need of
infrastructure. Years of militancy and criminality
had forced government and business in Rivers
State to a standstill.
“He therefore embarked on land reclamation in our
riverine communities and the massive construction
of roads, bridges and interchanges all over Rivers
State.
“Realising there is a direct link between state of
infrastructure and the growth rate of any
economy, It is to the credit of the
Amaechi administration that by the time he was
leaving office, he had completed 90 per cent of the
Phase 1A of the Rivers State Monorail, completed
two major interchanges, two flyovers, 25 bridges,
and five shore protection projects.
She said the Amaechi administration also
completed 890 kilometres of the on-going 1,424
kilometres road projects across the state.
She added that there were over six land
reclamation/shore protection projects at Andoni,
Opobo, Buguma, Abalama, Olumbie/Owukiri
Island, and Oba-Ama-Okrika with over
1,140,000km completed.
“Out of the roads completed, some of these were
federal roads for which the Rivers State
Government was owed N108billion. Mr. Wike as
Minister of State for Education was among
those who prevented former President Goodluck
Jonathan from paying the Rivers State Government
back these funds,” the former commissioner
added.
Semenitari said that other states like Akwa Ibom
and Abia received repayment for the federal roads
they constructed.
On the debris being owed the Ministry of Works,
she said when Amaechi was leaving office, the
debts owed the contractors, which she said were
for ongoing road projects,
totalled N44,942,354,44.10.
Besides, she said that the last government was
owing two banks N17.7bn – Agriculture loan from
the Central Bank of Nigeria – N2 billion; Zenith
Bank, N15.7 billion.
Semenitari denied the claim by Wike that she was
contacted by security agents before her official car
was forcefully taken away from her residence in
Port Harcourt.
According to her, “I find it strange that Mr. Wike
says that I was contacted by security agencies. It
might have been necessary that he provides proof
of such contact.
“I am also shocked that he conveniently failed to
acknowledge that it was an eight year old car and
that it was not factory proofed.
“He also failed to state that it was given to me after
several threats to my life because of my job
description and that this isn’t strange as he himself
as chief of staff was aware that there are political
office holders who are allotted official vehicles
from government house as the need or
circumstances may dictate.”
“Over and beyond all this, can Mr. Wike please
confirm if, as commissioner, I am entitled to leave
with the official cars used during my tenure and if
indeed he, as chief of staff and later minister of
state, did so.”
Semenitari said at no time did she claim that the
Lexus Jeep forcefully taken from her residence
belonged to her husband and that what belonged to
him was a Range Rover jeep. Source. http://www.gidimasters.com/2015/06/i-met-rivers-in-comatose-amaechi.html?m=1

The meeting between President Muhammadu
Buhari and the state governors on Tuesday rose
with a resolution to end the financial crisis being
faced by some state governments.
Zamfara State Governor, Abdulazeez Yari,
disclosed this to State House correspondents at
the end of the meeting.
Yari, who is also the Chairman of the Nigeria
Governors Forum, said instead of bailouts, the
governors requested for the refund of Federal
Government projects they carried out in their
states.
He said the governors also asked that the tax paid
by the Nigeria Natural Liquefied Gas Company be
paid into the Federation Account and be shared.
The governor added that they also asked the
Federal Government to ensure that all monies are
paid into the Federation Account for sharing as
stipulated by the constitution.

Read the PDP press statement below...
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described
as evasive, diversionary and preemptive, the
present government’s pile up of excuses for
possible failure in delivering on its campaign
promises to Nigerians.
The PDP said it is unfortunate that President
Mohammadu Buhari and the APC, who were privy to
the nation’s dwindling economy occasioned by
global economic downturn and fall in international oil
price, even before the start of the campaigns, chose
to deceive Nigerians with bogus promises, only to
now resort to excuses after using the promises to
secure power at the center.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh
in a statement on Tuesday said the party notes with
dismay, President Buhari’s statement on Monday
that Nigerians should not expect much from his first
100 days in office on claims that he met “virtually
an empty treasury and huge debts”, noting that
such only underlines the fact that the present
administration is really not equipped to face the
challenges of governance.
“While we restate our resolve to engage only in
credible and issue based opposition, we want the
President and the APC to note that their plea for
patience from Nigerians does not arise, because
ab-initio, there has not been any indication that they
are actually serious and determined to deliver on
their campaign promises upon which they rode to
power.
“Of course Nigerians are willing to support and
cooperate with the President, but we are worried
that the pictures emerging from his presidency and
his party do not in any way inspire hope in the
citizenry, especially as they have continued to show
that theirs is ostensibly a matter of obtaining power
by false pretenses.
“President Buhari and the APC must know that
Nigerians did not give them the mandate to engage
in frivolous excuses and pleas but to hit the ground
running with solutions and quick fixes they
promised during the campaigns.
We ask, is President Buhari’s statement an
admission of poor knowledge of national and
international economic affairs or does it underscore
the lack of capacity and skills by the administration
to effectively harness and galvanize resources and
potential inherent in Nigeria which has already been
nurtured as Africa’s largest economy and one of the
fasted growing in the world.
“Even if Nigerians decide to wait endlessly, we
wonder how much the President can achieve
amidst the flip-flops from his presidency and
cacophony of interests from his party leaders
struggling to enlarge their selfish political and
economic frontiers.
“How can one reconcile President Buhari’s
statement with the recent ridiculous and misleading
claim by APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed that this administration has
achieved in three weeks what the immediate past
administration did not achieve in five years?
“Since after their electoral victory, the APC and the
President have continued to expose their lack of
commitment towards their campaign promises.
“We recall that on May 5, 2015, twenty-four days
before his inauguration, President Buhari at a
meeting with APC leaders in Abuja opened the
excuse galore when he expressed his nervousness
to deliver in office, adducing that ‘Rome was not
built in a day’.
“We also recall that in their attempt to find an
escape route in one of their bogus campaign
promises, the APC denied that the President ever
promised Nigerians that they will end insurgency
two months after inauguration but had to swallow
their words after the PDP confronted them with the
April 22, 2015 CNN interview where Buhari made
that promise.
“Indeed, we empathize with the President knowing
that the confusion and clear lack of direction in his
party have not helped matters, but we urge him to
rise up to the challenge, take urgent steps and
disentangle himself from the selfish and unpatriotic
tendencies of APC leaders, especially given the fact
that Nigerians gave him a mandate for which they
will continue to hold him accountable.
“Finally, the PDP restates that it is eager to see the
APC and the President unveil their economic
roadmap and blueprint for governance so as to
enable us through robust opposition, provide
credible alternatives and options for their policies
and programmes in the overall interest of our dear
nation”.

Abuja – Lovers of music converged in Abuja on
Saturday/Sunday to join in the celebration of the
annual World Music Day.
The annual World Music Day is celebrated in over
460 cities in 110 countries in the world and was
marked in Abuja with funfair at the French Institute.
The idea of the World Music Day was born in
France, where the first all-night music celebration
marked the beginning of the summer solstice,
which
took place in 1982 in Paris.
Miss Alice O'Reilly, a Cultural Programme Officer
at
the Institute français du Nigeria, said that this
festival has become an international phenomenon
celebrated on the same day World-wide.
"This year's theme is: "Live Music Together' which
aims at a large audience, working to popularise
musical practice for young and old people from all
social backgrounds.
"It gives an opportunity to communicate and share
a very special moment through music "Electronic
Sounds capes Workshop'.
"In 2015, the Alliance française Lagos, the Institut
français du Nigeria and the Goethe-Institut Nigeria
organised a workshop in electronic music aimed at
expanding the artistic range of Nigeria's already
booming music scene.
"The traditional music forms and percussion-
based
style found in its diverse cultural regions.
"The Nigerian music scene has, over time, been
shaped by Western influences from the 50s and
60s
(Highlife and Afrobeats) through the 80s and 90s
(Hip hop and R & B).
"At the turn of the millennium, electronic elements
increasingly came into the various music styles,
which nonetheless retained the traditional rhythmic
structures in the society.
"La Fete de la Musique" is above all a free popular
music celebration that allows the expression of the
styles of music in a cheerful atmosphere,'' she
said.
Mr Adedolapo Aina-Marshall alias Dj sketch, who
performed at the event, said that the event allows
Africans to enjoy dance with a fusion of our African
music and the European electronic music.
"Dance as you know it, came out of Africa, our
ancestors started dancing and this brought about
the dance culture which has evolved to what we
have today.
"Honestly I love the turnout of guests in Abuja, we
didn't expect this much turn up and they made this
World Music Day more fun and beautiful,'' he said.
Disc Jockeys (Dj) Sketch also said that the
popularity of DJs in Nigeria was getting better by
each day.
"We are getting more recognition in Nigeria now
than in the past years, right now everybody wants
to be a DJ.
"We hope that this programme would help boost
the
value of DJ in Nigeria,'' he added.
Oluwakemi Famugbode (Irawo Drumline) also said
that the programme was a success, which started
at printing press Lagos, and the grand finale in
Abuja was a huge success.
Famugbode said the programme was not a walk in
the park, as we encountered numerous problems
such as financial restrictions and lack of electricity
amongst others.
She said they started the preparation for the
programme during the period of the fuel scarcity,
saying that so much money had gone into the
purchase of fuel at the black market rate.
AIso speaking, Bobai Balat alias DJ bally said the
programme turned out better than they expected,
saying, "am really surprised that the audience
turnout was more in Abuja than it was in Lagos.
"I appreciate France who has always been a major
supporter of the African social life and has given
many of us the opportunity to show case our
talents
in music,'' he said.
The electronic music workshop, labelled "Electronic
Soundscapes" was facilitated by three
internationally-renowned producers.
These producers are: Adegboyega Oyedele, (DJ
Afrologic; Nigeria), Marko Fürstenberg (Germany)
and DJ R-Ash (France).
The "Electronic soundscapes" was inspired by the
10 cities Project, which presented an intersection
of
club and electronic music between different
European and African cities.
The workshop was set up within this context and
aimed at fostering artistic interaction among
German, French and Nigerian musicians in the
area
of non-mainstream, independent electronic music.

I can help u buy domain name from godaddy for 500 naira 4 a year

Fair-skinned actress, Edwin Princess, is a fast-rising actress in Nollywood.
She was born in Anambra State but lived in Austria until she relocated to
Nigeria to pursue her acting career. Edwin Princess has starred in movies like
'The Birds', 'Ibu's Wedding' amongst others. She was recently on a movie
location in Festac Town, where she starred alongside Eze Nwora George,
Ginika Maureen and others in her latest movie. In this exclusive interview,
she talks about her life, career and more.
When did you start acting?
I ventured into Nollywood in 2013.
What role did you play in the movie you're currently working on?
I played the role of a wife, a woman who is good but is having a bad
experience from her in-laws and other people. I was able to have babies for
my husband but sadly they kept dying one way or the other. It was a very
challenging role for me.
How many movies have you featured in so far?
I've done 'Sacrifice for Marriage', 'Ibu's Wedding' with Mr Ibu, Global Updates
'89 Days In Bondage', Sparco which is on air and Ulo Mbasa, a soap on DSTV.
So far, we've been working, we can't relent on our efforts and I expect more
to follow.
What has been your most challenging role in a movie?
My most challenging role was actually in a movie I did with Global Update. It
was really challenging because they had to take me somewhere in Badagry
and I had to jump from one hill to the other. It was challenging because I'm not
an athletic person. I saw myself jumping up and down from one tree to
another, running in the bush even on a wet day. It was challenging for me. My
second challenging role is Ulo Mbasa, the Igbo soap on air now, where I
cheated on my husband.
Have you ever played a sexy role in a movie?
I have, I did it with Ezenwora George in a movie called 'The Birds'. I
think that
was my first sexy role in a movie, because I wasn't expecting him to kiss me
and then he just grabbed me and kissed me.
Can you go nude in a movie?
I can actually do anything as long as it adds meaning to the story. When you
talk about nude, there has to be a connection. You don't just go nude because
you want to pull off your clothes. It means you have to be
interpreting a role, a
serious minded role that can wow viewers. I can go extra miles to perfect my
job and my career but not just go nude because I need to go nude. It has to
really go along with the story and be meaningful.
What more should people expect from Edwin Princess?
They should expect good works and appreciate what I'm offering, because
I've just started to learn and I hope to give them my best in the
nearest future. Source : http://www.gidimasters.com/2015/06/i-can-go-nude-if-it-enhances-story.html?m=1

In his new interview with Punch, he talks about being partly
Cameroonian and why he's not in a hurry to have kids like his peers and
he would love to work with his former label mate Wizkid ..
Ob being envious of Wizkid...
I respect Wizkid a lot. Yes, we fell out over certain issues which should
be expected but that does not change the fact that we are happy with
each other.
On plans to work with him
Definitely. I hope to work with him
On his time at EME ..
I will always appreciate Banky W and EME for believing in and
supporting me when no one else paid me any attention..
On plans to have children like his colleagues
Having children and getting married are two blessings that I hope to
experience but I am not in a hurry. I believe in God's time. He has
shown that with my career and I am also trusting he will do the same
thing with my private life
Is it true that you are Cameroonian?
Yes, my father is from Cameroon but I was born and raised by mum in
Kaduna. My mum is from Edo state, so I was raised as an Edo boy. Source: http://www.gidimasters.com/2015/06/i-would-love-to-work-with-wizkid-skales.html?m=1

I just got this SOS from a reader who witnessed
the incident and says it's happening right now:
Hello Laila, this is happening right now at
Adeleke street, off Allen avenue in Ikeja. A
thief was caught on the street this
afternoon. He broke into a parked Toyota
Highlander with his accomplice. They took
a phone and while they were trying to
make away with it...they were caught. His
accomplice immediately ran away but the
angry crowd are about to burn the
unfortunate one they caught...I left when I
noticed they might actually burn this guy.
Please post this immediately.
I'm hoping someone steps up in that crowd, the
right authorities get to the scene and do something
before this man is burnt alive. . Source: http://www.gidimasters.com/2015/06/photos-mob-on-allen-avenue-lagos-about.html?m=1
