After Former President Goodluck Jonathan went on international Tv to say he is glad that the weapons his administration bought is what the present administration, led by President Muhammadu Buhari is currently using to defeat Boko Haram and he is happy he laid the foundation for the defeat, the Federal Government through its Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has replied the ex-president, telling him not to dare think of it and remember what he bought during his administration was nothing but substandard weapons. In a statement issued in Abeokuta on Monday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, described as unfortunate and unsubstantiated the statement credited to former President Goodluck Jonathan attributing the recent successes in the war to the weapons allegedly bought by his Administration that were delivered after he had left office. He said the present Administration owes it a duty to put the record straight, especially because the issues raised by the former President are of public interest and border on national security. ”The weapons, munitions and equipment which the former President said he bought were refurbished and lacked the basic components and spare parts. Additionally, the ammunition bought for both high calibre and small weapons have mostly expired, incompatible with weapons and grossly inadequate. ”It is pertinent to state that the ammunition he was referring to were back loaded because they explode within the barrel when fired, thus leading to deaths and injuries among soldiers,” Alhaji Mohammed said. He explained that the troops also lacked the much-needed lift and operational vehicles and other equipment which they needed for an effective prosecution of the war, until the present Administration ameliorated the situation. ”The situation was so pathetic that soldiers were often transported in Civilian JTF vehicles, civilian vehicles, trailers and water tankers when going to the theatres of operation. The revelations on the sorry state of things in the past, which have emanated from the investigative panel so far, point clearly to the kind of legacy bequeathed to this administration by the past government. ”That explains why troops remained largely static and were unable to effectively deploy to completely rout the Boko Haram terrorists in all their known enclaves. The high level of casualties sustained by our gallant soldiers was most unprecedented and cannot be compared to any known military operations in recent times, all because of the terrible state of affairs suffered by the military under the Jonathan Administration,” the Minister said. He said apparently because former President Jonathan could not understand how credible and dedicated leadership could impact positively on the morale and performance of troops, he has chosen to denigrate the system for the unprecedented feat that was achieved within the first six months of the Buhari Administration – something that he could not achieve in all of six years! ”It is also clear, as has been shown so far by the outcome of the panel probing past arms deals, that the purchase of substandard weapons apparently resulted from the massive corruption that enveloped the deals, the kind of horrifying graft that saw the purchase of refurbished choppers that lacked rotors, or fighter jets that could not be deployed to the theatre of war because they were not up to par. ”The needless loss of lives of many of our gallant troops, resulting from the lack of standard weaponry and low morale in the past, is not a matter to be trivialized under any circumstance,” the Minister said

Article written by entertainment journalist, Chilee Agunana The remix has always been a popular part of the music industry and adds a different flavour to an already good song or gives a new lease of life to a song that initially did not perform so well. A remix simply means another artist’s version of a song where he or she must have added something to it. And while the remix mustn’t necessarily be better, it largely involves an ‘addition’ to the original song rather than removing ‘something’ from it. That being said, some of the songs remixed in this country in recent times have actually removed `things’ from the original songs and one xample of this is Davido’s remix of Humblesmith’s Osinachi. The young singer had already introduced himself to the Nigerian music audience with Chairmo and then in August 2015 dropped a career-defining single which he titled, Osinachi, featuring Phyno. The song was an immediate hit and the fact it combined excellent Hip Hop elements with didactic lyrics was a plus and in that regard somehow similar to Korede Bello’s Godwin which led to the latter’s controversial invitation to some church programmes. Osinachi had an even cleaner claim to church performances but Humblesmith may have closed that door by allowing Davido to burden it with his Dubai- infected baggage. Osinachi, an Igbo word, literally means ‘It’s from God’ and can be figuratively adapted to mean `Destiny’ or ‘blessing’. It’s also a beautiful name which many parents have gladly bestowed on their offsprings just like Godwin. A look at the original lyrics makes for an interesting read and further highlighted the very essence of the song as originally composed: Plenty people don dey ask, Na which baba do the jazz, Say the baba do well for me oh, Now my life don better Not because I suffer pass Not because I pray and fast No be osho no be jazz, okwa chinenye Also look at Phyno’s verse with some loose translation provided in brackets: Ibe, ekene kenelum olisa bi ne nu igwe (Greetings to God in heaven) Daddy ne mezi nu m obi oma (Daddy has made me happy) Nwanne inee aya, n’ime ndum o (Brother if you look into my life) Iga fu na chukwu emego nu aka boys achaa (You will see God has blessed boys) God I dey beg you don’t leave me oh Okwa ikwelu nkwa si na ima rapum oo (Remember you promised you won’t leave me) Baba obi ni’gwe o-oo-o (Father in heaven) Wee simu golibe oooo (Told me to enjoy) Hey, nwanne okwa ima na oke chineke di okpotopo (Brother you know God’s grace is big) Amamihe gi kam choro (I want your wisdom) Maka m di ogogoro (Because I’m empty) Some dey think say na jazz how the boy came up fast Mana ha maro na ngozi gi na di ogonogo (But they don’t know you blessing is long) Okwa, everyday nne kpe ekpere (I pray every day) Chineke iwee nyemu the reason m ji enye ekele (God you gave me to give thanks) Now m nanwuli with my family and friends (Now I’m rejoicing with family and friends) Ayin n’eme the money down ka (We are doing the money down like) Nwanne oburo jazz (Brother it’s not jazz) The lyrics of Davido’s remix is a sharp and confused contrast that not only presents a total deviation from the initial spirit of the song but also reduced it to a platform for advancing some personal issues which is a complete let-down to such a beautiful song. My humble father sinachi My loving daughter sinachi mo My baby mama sinachi Dele Momodu sinachi mo No be by force to go Dubai Abi na wetin cause the fight And I just dey my own dey laugh eh Because God dey my side They want to take away my favour They want to spoil my career Them no know say I get flavour You fit ask Nabania I forgive and forget Baba God knows the best My papa just buy jet And about to take off everywhere oh Humblesmith in allowing this remix may have mortgaged his immediate progress for a few coins from the Omo Baba Olowo as this remix has stunted his immediate growth because, one, it removed attention from the main song which was doing marvellously well and redirected it to Davido. Secondly what Davido brought to the song was immediately expendable as the Baby mama drama while being stupidly negative and shouldn’t even come close to a song like Osinachi, it died once Davido moved on from it and in this sense, the Sony signing immediately took over the Davido narrative and Humblesmith is now left with the few Judas coins he made from betraying such a good song. Apart from being one of the most hardworking and talented artists in the country, Davido is also one of the most mischievous—scheming out one publicity scheme (positive and negative in same measure) immediately after the other, and the narrative of Humblesmith’s career as regards the traction he would have gained from his hit song has now been subsumed in the shenanigans of an already made act. This is the danger ‘upcoming’ acts face when they excitedly allow bigger artists to buy into their arrival and remix their already successful songs. This happened to Kiss Daniels when he allowed Davido once again and Tiwa Savage to guzzle up whatever attention and goodwill he had garnered with his hit, Woju, and his successive attempts to resurrect that success with new singles using virtually the same beat, have largely failed. Another sad case is Oritsefemi whose struck gold with his version of Fela’s, Double Wahala, but he then allowed a fading D’banj to hijack his song. Not to mention what D’banj also did to Iyanya’s Kukere but by then, Iyanya had already exhausted the song’s goodwill and revenue, so D’banj’s remix never really affected the success of the song or Iyanya’s progress. A new ‘upcoming’ artist is supposed to ride on the back of the success of the older artist he features in his song, not the other way round. Naeto C did it for Davido and Phyno has already done it for Humblesmith on the original Osinachi track, so there was no need for this remix, not at this time. Humblesmith is no doubt a good artist and would most definitely release other good songs who knows how long it will take fortune to smile on him again with another hit seeing that he humbly threw away the `Destiny’ already given to him?
