Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo in his autobiography had opened a
can of worms on many major stakeholders in the country.

One part of the book, My Watch shines light on the nation's only Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, whom the elder statesman described as "a self-
serving critic" who always loved to take the lead on all matters.

He wrote: "For Wole, no one can be good, nor can anything be spot-on politically except that which emanates from him or is ordained by him, His friends and loved ones will always be right and correct no matter what they do or fail to do."

Obasanjo described Soyinka as "a misfit as a political analyst, commentator or critic," adding
that it was good that Mr. Soyinka did not go into politics.

"He is surely a better wine connoisseur and a more successful "aparo" (guinea fowl) hunter than a political critic, not to talk of what he would do as a politician," Mr. Obasanjo said..

Timi Dakolo's Life story is like that of moving from grass to grace..

He was interviewed recently and
here's what he has to say:

Before he won West African Idols in 2007, the
soulful singer was just 'a nobody.' In fact, at a
point in his life, he resorted to menial jobs in
order to survive.

Now, his story has changed, Timi now wines and
dines with the President, performing with the elite and travelling all over the globe.

But he cannot forget in a hurry his humble
beginning.

"Growing up was hard. I grew up with my
grandmother and you can imagine what it is like
growing up with an old woman.

She sold provisions, pure (sachet) water and
plantain. After school hours, I used to sell things
for her. I grew up in a house where education is
important because we believed it was our escape route from poverty.

"Whenever my mates were playing, I would watch them from the window but could not join them because I either had to study or work with my grandmother.

"I have sold pure (sachet) water, pushed
wheelbarrow in a popular market in Port-
Harcourt and I have done many other menial jobs but deep within me, I knew something great
would happen to me. I didn't know if it was
through hard work or schooling, but I just knew
it," the singer said.

He told Saturday Beats that it took several
months before it dawned on him that he had won Idols West Africa.

"The first time someone gave me N100, 000, I
wanted to run mad.

That was after the show. Subsequently, someone else gave me N1m, and I could not sleep that night. I couldn't wait till morning to rush to the bank and deposit it before it disappeared.

Two teenage boys in Israel accused of trying to
rob a bank with their toy guns appeared in
court recently, Sky news reports.

The boys, aged 12 and 13 wore hooded caps and
stormed the bank premises shouting, "this is a
hold-up."

The boys were carrying fake M-16 assault rifles.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfield said.

"They were toy guns but they looked real. The
people in the bank were scared, but then the
suspects ran out without taking any money."

The boys were caught on CCTV entering the bank
premises in the Tel Aviv suburb of Rishon Lezion.
They fled without any money after they
apparently lost their nerve, police said.

Mr Rosenfeld said police were able to identify the children from the security footage and
later arrested them.

But the boys lawyer Gil Gabay said the
youngsters' rights had been violated.

He said: "We are talking about children aged 12
and 13 who were arrested last night.

"They were investigated during the night against
legal instructions. They slept on a chair in the
police station.

"I think they should have been treated differently. I don't think they should have been treated like criminals."
