NYSC / Re: Okorocha Begins Payment Of N10,000 Alawi To Imo Corpers by infoscope(m): 3:10pm On Oct 10, 2013
Valto: we all know the way okorocha behaves.. It has always been the more u look the less u see.i bet he wouldn't repeat this payment by next month. Nevertheless he tried, but this is a publicity stunt.

You sure do know Rochas very well, the highest he can do this is for two months. When he started sharing money to students in Primary and Secondary school, many hailed him, but after sharing the money for just two months he stopped and thatwas it. No body is talking about that again, now corpers. I just pray this lasts.

Anyway nice effort.

Many have blamed ASUU for intentionally not making public the contentious FG/ASUU agreement reached in 2009, hence most of us make use of hear-say to inform our opinion on the strike. Against this backdrop, Nigerian News Portal has made available the full unedited text of the Agreement for public consumption. Take out time to go through the agreement at http://nigeriannewsportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ASUUFGAgreement2009.pdf, and you will be in a better position to either blame ASUU or FG. #ASUU100Days

TV/Movies / Raypower & AIT Slammed With N10billion Suit For Copyright Infringement by infoscope(m): 11:31am On Oct 08, 2013
Copyright Society of Nigeria, Nigeria’s approved collective management organization for musical works and sound recordings has filed a Ten Billion Naira copyright infringement action against Daar Communications Plc, Nigeria’s biggest privately owned broadcast network which operates stations such as Ray Power FM, Faaji FM and Africa Independent Television (AIT) scattered all over Nigeria.

The suit No. FHC/L/CS/1392/13 filed on October 7, 2013 on behalf of COSON at the Federal High Court, Lagos by crack Intellectual Property lawyer, Mr. Justin Ige, is the biggest known copyright infringement action ever in the African continent.

In the action, COSON is asking for the sum of N724, 500, 000. 00 (Seven Hundred and Twenty Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira) being amount due as royalties or license fees.

COSON is also asking for general and exemplary damages and a perpetual injunction restraining Ray Power FM, Faaji FM and Africa Independent Television (AIT) managed by Chief Raymond Dokpesi, their agents, privies or servants from further or other unauthorized copying, broadcast of musical works or sound recordings belonging to the members, affiliates and assignors of COSON and/or infringement of the copyright in the musical works or sound recordings belonging to the members, affiliates and assignors of COSON.

The historic action is clearly in fulfilment of the pledge made by COSON Chairman, Chief Tony Okoroji in his ‘No Music Day’ speech on September 1, 2013 that in the copyright battle, there will be no sacred cow. Chief Okoroji had said, ‘COSON is determined to substantially increase the royalty distributable to stakeholders in the music industry to match the massive use of music in our nation. Last year, COSON was compelled to institute several law suits against some users of music and sound recordings in Nigeria. This was after every attempt at moral suasion had failed. COSON had to go to court as a last resort. As you know, the court actions were productive. It however appears that old habits die hard. Some of the users may have gone back to their old ways and not all have learnt the lesson that the days of free music are gone in Nigeria forever. Some may also be testing the resolve of COSON.

‘I therefore wish to make it clear that the resolve of COSON to protect the rights of music industry practitioners and to collect copyright royalties for the use of their music and sound recordings is rock solid. We will not waiver and there will be no sacred cows. Our commitment to the cause of defending the rights of music industry practitioners in Nigeria is unshaken and unshakable. Very soon, we will bring the full weight of the law on all those who have refused to learn that the times have changed. Let me assure you that our approach this time will be very different. I wish to state clearly that it is far cheaper to obtain a COSON licence for the music used by anyone than to engage COSON in an expensive law suit which that person is sure to lose because in this day and age, no court of law anywhere will enter a judgment to the effect that anyone can freely abuse the intellectual property of others’

Commenting on the development, COSON General Manager, Mr Chinedu Chukwuji said, ‘I don’t know why people have to wait until things come to a head like this. I guess the belief is that COSON is like some organizations that make noise without acting. At COSON, we are very professional. Our word is our bond. If we tell you that we will take action, we will take action and we will stay on the action till its logical conclusion. We have sworn to defend the rights of musicians and the music industry in Nigeria no matter what it takes. We have the law behind us; we have the musicians of Nigeria behind us; we have the international community behind us and we have God with us. Let it be known that we will not be intimidated by anyone’

Entertainment / Girl Goes Gaga On Cokobar Concert; Exposes Her Goodies by infoscope(m): 11:17am On Oct 07, 2013
The CokoBar Music Festival took place last night Sunday 6th October 2013 at London’s o2 Indigo and one of the most memorable incident of the night was when a fan (pictured above) was picked from the crowd to come on stage to flex her dancing skills to Flavour’s music. The lady got on stage and started out pretty okay, she bounced and shook her bum bum to a delighted crowd…the cheering must have gotten to her because she then went totally crazy, and gave concert goers a peek of her ‘selling point’ .

Politics / PDP Replies Femi Fani- Kayode; You Represent The Bad, The Ugly & The Scandalous by infoscope(m): 8:39pm On Oct 06, 2013
The Peoples Democratic Party has described as a primitive display of self righteousness, usually associated with an irretrievable diseased mind, comments credited to the former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani -Kayode over last Thursday’s crash of an Associated Airline in Lagos.

The party further described it as a cheap blackmail from a man whose numerous slips and shameless acts have turned to an illustration of the bad and the scandalous.”

This man has lived down all his father’s reputation and now lives mercilessly abandoned as a by-word for the negatively controversial, the bad, the ugly and the scandalous”.

A statement by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Barr. Abdullahi Jalo said that it was unbecoming of a man that uses every opportunity to sermonize on virtues of his faith to employ the occasion of any air mishap to vaunt an un-existing legacy as former aviation minister, saying that the PDP stands firmly on its exhortation to the aviation authority that last Thursday’s mishap should not constitute a set-back to the progress so far achieved in the sector.

According to the statement, “while Femi is free to keep relishing in his favorite pastime which is blackmail, immoralism and other serial anti socials, we wish to warn that time has far gone when social deviants and other undemocratic rascals, unnecessarily take on the party and the federal government and beget silence as a trophy”.

The statement added that it was appropriate to x-ray the tenure of Femi Fani Kayode as the Minister of Aviation between November 2006 and May, 2007 so that Nigerians can come face to face with a clear picture of a physician that could not heal himself.

“In a very short space of six months that Femi was Minister, he posted an enviable record in tribalism and nepotism when he employed a record 45 managers for different parastatals under the Aviation Ministry from his native Osun State. He went further to retire many officers of the director cadre, replacing them with incompetent cronies, girl friends and concubines.

“Femi did not stop there. Nigerians will recall that his Special Assistant was caught at the Airport while ferrying obscene sums of money on his behalf. Unfortunately, a cover up quickly and successfully came in between. Besides, many utility vehicles of the ministry mysteriously surfaced in Ghana where they were converted to domestic use by his family and concubines. Uproar in the Ministry led the EFCC to later recover some of them.

“Nigerians have not forgotten the suspension of the Managing Director of Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) Alhaji Yusuf by Femi for refusing to illegally extend the concessioning of the Murtala Mohammed (local ) to Bi-Courtney Aviation Services from 12 to 46 years. Though presidential orders restored Alhaji Yusuf to his position, it did not prevent Femi who unilaterally, without presidential approval, granted the extension.

“The tale of Mr. Taiwo who was the Manager of the Murtala Mohammed International while Femi was Special Adviser to the President is known. Femi who traveling out of Nigeria had refused to be scanned. Taiwo insisted that the proper thing be done and Femi was eventually scanned. Femi had his proverbial pound flesh when he assumed office as Minister. He did not only redeploy Taiwo, he also frustrated him out of the service.

“Shouldn’t Nigerians know that it took the Federal Airport Authority years to clear the debts of hundreds of millions of Naira arising from permanent suites acquired by Femi to host and lodge girls of easy virtues while staging noisy street parties in Lagos.

“It is still on record that the Senate in 2009 indicted Fani-Kayode and recommended him for trial for alleged misappropriation of N19.5billion belonging to the aviation sector. The Senator Anyim Ude led Senate Committee on Aviation which investigated Fani-Kayode recommended that he should not hold any public office for five years over charges of misappropriation of public funds and abuse of office which included the establishing of irregularities in the award of contracts in the ministry, Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and NAMA during his tenure.

“Do we recount here serial immoralism that Femi has professed and confessed to in the social media, prompting many to ask whether he has a wife, children, indeed family and what this Pharisee Christian teaches them.

“We may add here that as far as PDP continues to be voted into power by Nigerians, no one shall any more be appointed into any position on account of the pedigree of his parents. We shall also engineer a process through the National Assembly where nominees to federal offices must undergo a psychiatric test. Femi is a huge disgrace!

“However, pity may be necessary for this man with known psychiatric case who, while being screened by the Senate, confessed to being demon-possessed in 1993 and had to be transported to Ghana where spiritual deliverance was conducted on him.
