Veteran Musician, 2Baba clocks 44 today, 18th of September, 2019. Innocent Ujah Idibia, known by his stage name 2Baba, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, record producer and entrepreneur. Prior to July 2014, he went by the stage name 2face Idibia 2Baba took to Instagram to share a picture of him looking dapper and clean coupled with an inspiring caption that enumerates his ambition of dedicating himself to mobilizing Nigerian youth and engaging political, security and traditional authorities to promote peaceful elections since 2014. He wrote: As I celebrate my birthday today, I call for peace across our dear country, Nigeria. Different forms of violence including electoral, banditry, herders and farmers conflicts, kidnapping and terrorism have and continue to snatch the lives of Nigeria’s citizens. Let’s be clear, this is not a salvo to attack the government, I am not a politician but an artist and social rights crusader. I am calling on government (i.e our political leadership, security services etc.); and all citizens (i.e artists, entrepreneurs, media okada riders etc.) to do everything we can and must do to promote and guarantee peace. On my part, I have dedicated myself to mobilizing Nigerian youth and engaging political, security and traditional authorities to promote peaceful elections since 2014. I have worked with talented youth across Nigeria to reach 62 million people with the message of“elections without violence” as the Ambassador of the Vote Not Fight: Election No Be War campaign. I will be leading the campaign’s efforts to promote peace during the November 16, 2019 governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States.As Nigerians, we must join hands together to resist violence across our country, in whatever nature in manifests. Government must however take the lead on this, as there are limits to what citizens can do – no matter how well intentioned. As the November 16, 2019 Kogi and Bayelsa governorship elections approach, we must remember that the legitimacy of any government lies with its emergence from a peaceful, free, fair and credible election. I call on Kogi and Bayelsa youth to say NO to politicians who may offer them money to perpetrate violence or buy their votes. Let your conscience lead you. In relation to all forms of violence across Nigeria – we need to remember that there can be no development without peace. We need to make the wise choice for the future as violence erodes our values and kills our people. We must also look out for the vices of hate speech, fake news, misinformation and disinformation which are certified triggers of violence. One love my people, thank you for all the support over these years. Innocent UjahIdibia Source: https://gistcandy.com/2baba-celebrates-birthday-with-an-inspiring-post/

Twitter users have taken it upon themselves to collaborate with the protesters who marched on Monday to campaign for the protection of girls and women in Port Harcourt following the recent killing of a young girl in a hotel. The incident which happened in a hotel situated in Obo Road, Omoku, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State has stirred a lot of reactions among Nigerians both offline and online An eyewitness, who simply identified himself as Peter said, “The girl is just a teenager, we found her corpse lying with her clothes yesterday evening in the hotel room. Her killer was nowhere to be found. Her hands were tied behind her back with a white cloth, as well as her legs and neck.” Her death was just one in a series of killings of women in PH hotels in recent time, hence Twitter users are demanding that security operatives should do more to protect women and girls within the city. The Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Administration, Chuks Enwonwu, while addressing protesters condemned the happenings and also advised young women to shun prostitution as a means to curb this occurrence. “In as much as societal values are disintegrating, we must go back to try to educate them (women) and discourage them from going into prostitution because that is how they fall victim to these crimes”, he said.

Dammy Krane whose real name is Johnson Oyindamola, was arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court in Lagos by the police today September 16th. He was arraigned on a three-count charge of threat to life, defamation and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace. Dammy was accused to have threatened to attack staff of a betting company, MerryBet, verbally and online after a business deal between them went sour. Police Prosecutor, Insp. J. I. Enang, told the court that the 27-year-old singer attended a betting competition organised by the betting company and has since been on a rampage after he lost during the competition on July 29th at Cool FM in Lagos. The police prosecutor added that Dammy Krane went on to post a video on the internet accusing the sports betting company of owing him. “The defendant, however, demanded some money for appearing on the show, the firm disagreed, insisting that the sum was only for the winners. The musician subsequently breached a contractual agreement with the firm. He also conducted himself in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace by posting audio and a video message on Cool FM 96.9,” Manang said. According to the prosecutor, the offences contravened Sections 168 (d), 301 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015. Dammy Krane's lawyer, Adebayo Oniyelu, thereafter asked the court to grant him bail with a promise that as a public figure, Dammy Krane will not jump bail. “We humbly apply for the bail of the defendant. Section 35 (5) states that an accused person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. He is a popular musician, if granted bail, he will not jump bail, meanwhile he has been in police custody since Sept. 13,” Oniyelu told the court The Magistrate, Mrs Folashade Botoku, granted the singer bail in the sum of N50, 000 with one surety in like sum. The case was adjourned till October 11th. Source - https://gistcandy.com/dammy-krane-granted-bail-after-being-arraigned-for-threatening-a-merrybet-staff/
