Captivating is one word that can best describe the flashmob that stormed the atrium of the Silverbird Galleria, Victoria Island Lagos when unsuspecting movie goers, shop owners and shoppers alike witnessed the sudden emergence of a group of colorfully dressed dancers who delighted them with dexterous dance moves. The dancers gave a sublime performance depicting dance styles from the 1960’s to the present dance era. It was an ingenious flashmob deftly executed by Maltina, the premium non-alcoholic malt drink from the stable of Nigerian Breweries plc to herald the commencement of the 2013 edition of popular family reality TV show; Maltina Dance All season 7 aptly tagged “The Evolution”.
Mr. Edem Vindah, Corporate Media and Brand PR manager who was representing Mr. Ageni Yusuf, Corporate Affairs Adviser, Nigerian Breweries plc said the flashmob performance is a tip of the iceberg from this season of Maltina Dance All. MDA which made its debut in 2007 has remained Nigeria’s top family dance show. N6 million and a brand new car is at stake in the competition. The firstand second runners up will also get N1 million and N500, 000 respectively. The show will bring to the fore, the Nigerian people’s essence and values ofsharing, happiness unity, cooperation, vitality and creativity.
Mrs. Ngozi Nkwoji, Senior Brand Manager Maltina stated that she is glad with where Maltina is today. “We are very excited about the 7th season of MDA, 7 years is a long time for a show to still be relevant and we’re very glad Maltina through MDA continues to bring the brand experience of sharing happiness and fun to the consumer. The MDA Evolution is something not tobe missed. What we are doing with Maltina Dance All is to “share happiness” and to also create more emotional connection with consumers because families and dance are two winning components in the Nigerian environment".
The show proper will be preceded by regional auditions which will kick off inPort Harcourt at the Atrium Event Center on July 19th - 20th; Lagos - National Theatre on July 25th, 26th and 27th and Abuja - Nicon Luxury Hotel on August 2nd - 3rd .Nigerians who intend to participate can go online and register at www.maltinadanceall.tv or they can register at the venues of the auditions.They can also visit facebook.com/officialmaltinapage for more information and to stay connected with online competitions and much more.

victorD3: This so call pastors are killing us. I'm personally considering becoming I full time Jehovah's witness atleast there they don't rob your money of you in the name of offerings and shit.

its only God that will save us o

I always wonder how Nigerian pastors haveturned themselves into sacred cows or a demi-gods that should not be touched all because of a part of the Scripture that says'touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm.'
I ask myself, does that mean that even if a pastor is caught doing wrong, he should not be castigated because he is a man of God? Then, who now is 'man of Devil'?
The Europeans brought Christianity to us but we have become masters of the religion more than the original owners. Do you call that excellence? The recent controversies surrounding two men of Godlately really baffled me and made get scared for their tamed members, who still follow them blindly.
One thing pastors quickly work on their members is the mind. Once they capture that, the rest is history. It is like 'seek first the (gullible) mind of the people and every other thing shall be added to it'. At that point, they can twist the Bible to suit themselves and made the members do their wishes. Or, how do you imagine people still throng a church after its leader beats members with the cane? How do you explain the massive turn out to a church in Lagos after human parts were allegedly found in the pastor's premises shortly after he died?
In every corners of Lagos, you find churches, yet, we are not better people than the destroyed people of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Holy Book. I know of a small street in Ilasa area of Lagos where there are 12 churches on it. It is only in Nigeria you have more churches than shopsand stores.
The problem of Nigeria is mainly our religious leaders, which I will limit to Christian leaders because that's my faith. Politicians confidently steal our money because they know our pastors will fast and pray for them and even beg God on their behalf (politicians) to build a shield around them so that our curses won't affect them.
They only come to the altar to castigate politicians but praise them behind after hands must have rubbed hands. Some who openly castigate them will still go behind to get a chunk of the national cake. People Deceiving Pastors?
One thing our pastors have failed to understand is that they are not Elijah, Elisha and others of old, who the 'touch not my anointed passage was made for. These people, in their time, boldly told political leaders to their faces the real truth. How many of our pastors can boldly tell our politicians of today that 'thus says the Lord, ....' and they (politicians) tremble?
With the way things are going religiously in Nigeria, I doubt if we are not heading to destruction as a nation. And if such happens, our pastors should be held responsible for it. Pastors are stealing our money with the help of politicians, pastors are having carnal knowledge with both male and female members and twisting their minds to hide under the act. What a shame! Well, God is watching. I just hope the people of Sodom and Gomorrah won't petition God for destroying them and leaving Nigeria to continue this way.
Pastors tell members to store their treasures in heaven, while they (pastors) goabout buying expensive cars, houses and properties. Hmm, Fela already said it some years ago.
I wish to write more, but will pause for now. I await when the religious revolution will happen in Nigeria.

Gregdcutie: Catholic Bishop of Auchi Diocese, Edo State, Gabriel Dunia, has urged restraint in reports of the death of one of the priests of the diocese, Rev. Fr. Peter Ayala.
Ayala was found dead on Sunday in his apartment inside the St. Thomas Moore Catholic Church, Sobe, in Owan West Local Government Area of the state.
He was said to have been cleaning his double-barrel when the gun went off and killed him. Some reports (not Nairaland) stated that the deceased might have committed suicide.
Addressing journalists on Wednesday, Dunia, urged the public not to be hasty in arriving at conclusions.
He said, rather, they should wait for the autopsy result on the matter before probable cause of death could be ascertained.
He said, "Although the body of Rev. Fr. Peter Ayala was found lying lifeless in a pool of blood with a locally manufactured gun and a big spanner onthe floor, they were only parts of the clues to ascertain more authentic proofsof what had led to the death.
"Whatever must have been stated by anybody hitherto were probabilities in as much as expert examinations could prove otherwise. For all others who are prone to engage in some innuendos as regard Ayala's death, I wish to caution so that they keep in mind that death is death whatever way and manner it occurs. It should not constitute an occasion for derision, uncharitable assumptions and calumnies against the living, the dead or both."
A source close to the deceased however said some people suspected foul play in Ayala's death.

eternal rest grant to him o lord And let your perpetual light shine upon him

djon78: I thank God for sites like these, where evil attrocities committed is brought to open. The desperation of 2015 may end up consuming the aso rock man, honestly. The best candidate in this Anambara election is Soludo followed by Ngige, and only one of them should become our Governor.

And honestly Igbo leaders need to ask themselves serious question, look at how the yorubas all aligned under Asiwajus leadership and one thing I give to him despote all his negativity he picks performers, infact he is a colosus in that, but when I look at my Igbo brothers with all the wiseness we claim, thugs, agberos, visionless, unintelligent men and renegades. That's why APC and any other progressive party should do their home work well, never relent and capture Anambara state because God forbid bad thing if those evil Abuja men impose Andy Uba, Ifeanyi Uba and the fidelity bank stooge on us, Chukwu ama nkwe(God forbid bad thing). And finally Peter Obi must be called to account on how he wasted our resources for 8 God forsaken years of locust, no wonder he so much politicied the Fashola saga, bloody snitch.

you are so right. My prayer still remains that its not too late before we the igbos realise we have to go home to develop our place. And to think whilst we've stayed here, we have become a major contributing factor to their development...with our unrelenting resolve and hardwork

Thank you father for this new development..Itz true definitely that u ve not been sleeping...you've shown us indeed that the one who keeps israel(Nigeria) neither doses nor sleeps
