more than Aloy, i blame the insane souls that cook up these stories in the first place.

can men join in the prayers too?

the guy deserves pity.

How a sane person will write this story is baffling.
I can bet that there is no one like Malik Alomaja.
That story was cooked up in a beer parlour by two drunks.
its sensationalism is disgusting.

Certainly not your xenophobic shoes

stop exposing your ignorance on the world stage.

You guys are complicating a very simple matter.
The problem with Nigerian football is neither Yobo nor Amodu or even Yakubu.
Those are just manifestations of a severe anomaly.
The problem is NFF. the administration of football in this country is worse than sunday pub leagues in some countries.
The administration is shambolic and utterly disgraceful.

Apologies if it has been noted earlier.
I do not think that Jonathan has the legal powers to sack and hire a new cabinet.
The legality of the NASS empowerment is yet to be ascertained.
After all the drama and hurrays, there is very little the man can do without stepping on legal land mines.

^^^
No they will go there to interview them.
in the process collect plenty estacode and do some small shopping.
As in other sphere of Nigerian affairs, the leaders think the followers (passers by) are idiots.

all this comparison of Amodu and Capello (or Morinho or Wenger) is a bit irritating.
Amodu is no good but he is the best local coach around and has been the best for a very long time.
I am not just typing from the comfort of my room, i have viewed local football from very close quarters and even attended training sessions of many Nigerian league clubs.
These men are not worthy of the title 'coach'.
They are that bad and that is why a coach as bad as Amodu can be the best.

The more important issue is that Amodu is not the biggest problem of Nigerian football.
Our football administration is the biggest problem and it is just an extension of the Nigerian society.
No sane coach will be willing to work with that bunch of charlatans.
They will only get their type.
talent has never been the problem of Nigerian football.Administration has always been.
the problem is getting worse every day,that is why our ineptitude is beginning to show up more often on the pitch.
it is no rocket science.
if we get the administration sorted out and keep the wolves away from the till, we will not need a magician to get our teams working.just a guy with above average tactical acumen and a sense of direction will get us there.
in such circumstances, the likes of Amodu will just be ball boys and kit men in our national teams.
until then, the mediocrity continues unabated.

Senate President David Mark said that telephone interview served as all the notification needed to allow Jonathan to take power.

"The BBC interview is as good as the letter envisioned by the constitution," Mark said.

this is pure comedy.even Nkem Owoh can not do better.
These barbarians are having fun indeed.

actor CHIDI MOKEME interview.




Iconic in stature and essence, Chidiebere Geoffrey Azubuike Mokeme has carved out a permanent place in the Nigerian entertainment history.




Undeniably the Actor,Model,Designer, Entrepreneur, TV presenter,Humanitarian, Youth motivator and father affectionately called GQ by friends and fans,is performing the most unique balancing act Nollywood has ever witnessed.




A lover of dreams, Chidi is never short on Vision,Drive and Ambition.


The 6feet 3inches method actor has managed to redefine and reinvent himself over the almost two decades of his career,each time revealing a distinctive creative depth.


His humble nature and soft spoken demeanor is as laid back and effortless as the brand extensions he creates for himself.


A self acclaimed Serial entrepreneur, The fashion icon with a unique and individual style is a Red carpet dazzler and a darling of the fashion paparazzi.




in this interview he takes on some very controversial questions.its a never before from this actor, enjoy



-how have you been chidi?


, I'm very well Stella.How have you been yourself?



-i am fine.why were you replaced as the anchor for the ultimate search?




, I guess the producers of the show wanted to chart a different course so,





-what is all this talk we hear about you concentrating on sex products,are you no longer an actor?tell us about the sex products and why you decided on them.you also invested in limousine rental services,tell us about this too.




, Mmmhhh Stella you have come again o! You're always hearing things. Anyways,let me dissect your questions one after the other.


intimacy gadgets.Yes, one of my companies is involved in provision of health care services.This includes sexually related 'toys' and products.Now let me start by explaining what a intimacy gadget is because when one lacks understanding of a subject there are bound to be errors in judgement.What is a intimacy gadget?


A intimacy gadget (also called 'marital aid') is an object or device that is primarily used to facilitate human sexual pleasure. Notice the deliberate use of the term 'facilitate'. To facilitate means to make easy or easier.


What this means is that for some people sex is a difficult process and as such there's a need for aids to make it a more tolerable experience. A lot of people are walking around with all sorts of sexual dysfunctions ranging from Erectile dysfunctions, frigidity, premature ejaculation, post traumatic experiences,Hypersexuality,Satyriasis,Priapism,Vaginismus, Clitorism, Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD), Asexuality/Non-Sexuality etc. and this people walk around and go through life depressed and frustrated because of their inability to enjoy fulfilling relationships. there's also the issue of inadequate information as regards sex education, condoms, birth control, therapy for victims of rape,sexual assault and sexual violence.what my company hopes to do is to bridge the gap and fill the vacuum.


Let these people know that they are not alone.That there are other people like them and their is nothing shameful or embarrassing about their conditions.Our society has been programmed in such a way that sex and sexually related matters are taboo topics and only discussed in whispers. but u and i know that sex is arguably the most discussed topic behind closed doors in our society and i can confidently tell you that the rampant corruption, and moral decadence prevalent amongst us now can in some way be traced to our understanding (or lack of it) of sex. So our company is a platform that provides easy access to books, tapes, drugs, testimonies, techniques, games, toys, herbs, etc that help bring excitement and bonding back into the bedroom.


Let's just say we take the Slack out of the Sack!


The Renegade Group, which i over see is made up of different companies,one of which we have talked about above and another is the Renegade Security which provides specialised security and protocol services to clients who require our first class services. As part of our protocol service we collaborate with our out source partners 'Colour Varies' and 'Royal Limo' and have a fleet of jaw dropping Next generation stretch limousines at our disposal to help deliver a truely memorable experience to our clients. Having said that let me address the question of acting.I am and will always be an actor. Acting is my first love and my main constituency. It is my comfort Zone where i feel most at ease so i'm going to remain an actor till the end. Infact even when i'm old and rusty i'll still get old and rusty roles to play.The fact is that in recent times the industry has been experiencing a down time.We sacrifised professionalism on the alter of mediocrity and the industry is paying dearly for it. As a result, it has become an all comers affair resulting in the sub-standard and lack lustre productions that are now the norm. So i am very careful about the kind of jobs that i commit myself to, and it's not really about money. It's about fulfilment. I've gotten to a stage in my career where i don't need to get on tv just for the fun of being on tv.let the up and coming acts do that.


Every project that i consent to must provide both career and personal fulfilment. So while the industry is going through some restructuring, I'm also taking time to grow,position and consolidate my other interests.
-when was the last time you were in a movie? , My last movie project was in October last year.Right now i'm in the middle of discussions to make the sequel of Omotara Johnson this month.


Next month i'll be going back on set to work with one of my favourite director's Izu Ojukwu.That should have happened this month but had to be postponed because of the crisis in jos as that's our proposed location. So i'm very much available but only for serious Projects.




-you are one of nigerias hottest single men,why are you still single?




I would have been surprised if Stella did not ask this question. But the truth is a wife is not something you walk into Shoprite or Sainsbury's and pick off the shelf.I'm single bacause i'm single.Nothing deliberate.





-you have been labelled as a silent playboy who dates and drops ladies at will and you agreed in an interview once that you were a positive kind of playboy.




, stella which one is Silent plaboy again.Is there Noisy playboy?I really don't understand what you mean but i remember that 'positive playboy' headline which i think was largely misconstrued and quoted out of context. I meant by that statement that i had a lot of intimate relationships that are not sexual.Intimate in the sense that i find that so many people from around the globe reach out to me for motivation or inspiration and they connect and bond with me because we are able to talk freely about things that they 'll normally rarely share only with people with which they have sexual or familiar relationships.


So i'm able to make deep rooted connections without any one person or group claiming exclusive access to me and i said in that interview that i consider myself in that context to be a positive playboy, for want of a better term.

-you have been labelled a gigolo,want to tell us if this is true or not?




, Perception is projection Stella.So people see in others what they will be if they were in the others's shoes,even when they are not consciously aware.Everyone who knows me knows that i have Zero tolerance for mediocrity. I am always strivingto better myself and the way to do that is to surround myself with people who are operating on same frequency with me. i thrive in the midst of internally driven,positively minded and career oriented people and people who posess this qualities have something in common-They'are always successful-and believe me it will take a woman with those qualities to turn me on. So if my crime is that most of my female friends are successful and upwardly mobile, I make no apologies for that.





-you have been tagged as proudly arrogant,is this true?




, I am not arrogant.I am just a man who has been fortunate to be able to consciously appraise my seasons.So everytime you see me, you see me.and who am i?I know who i am.I know where i'm coming from.I know where i'm going to and i know how i'm going to get there.That is confidence not arrogance.And there's a thing line in between.




-do you think the press has been fair to you?




Hahahah.Mmmhh.The Press.I guess the press has reasons for doing everything that they do.The bottom line is,whether we like it or not,me and you and all of your colleagues around the world,we're stuck in this marriage together.You need me to make News so you can Write News ,so we'll always sort ourselves out. You stella,i commend you because you try to reach out and ask questions,But Of course as with all situations in life,there's always the Judas trying to run you down but they can't stop the Shining.We're too far gone now.




-i have seen several of your interviews but i have never seen where you were asked if you ever dated florence ita-giwa.they say she bought you cars and houses in lekki and that you gained materially while you dated her. do you want to delight us with the real story?






, There's no story to delight you with.I normally will not dignify wicked and malicious insinuations with a response.Let me state here without an iota of doubt in my mind that i have very high regard and respect for Senator Ita-Giwa.I am and will always be a big fan of hers.


This is a woman who has continuosly served and earned the goodwill of her people for over two decades.This is a woman who performed rare feats riding on the back of the opposition and rising from the house of reps through the senate to holding what i think is the highest office to be held by a nigerian woman under two successive presidents,and instead of celebrating her, some disgruntled elements try to trivialise the issues.Abeg talk better thing.





-there are some talks about your sexual preference chidi,people keep hinting that you are bisexual,do you think your dressing has to do with the talks? you shave your eyebrow and wear eyeliner,why?






, Here we go again.I am an actor Stella and by virtue of that i have the creative liberty to shave my eye brow, wear lipstic, wear eyeliner, colour my hair,do dreadlocks or koko waves or perming or jerry curls or whatever else that tickles my fancy in the pursuit of absolute characterization for my roles.And now we are talking about me Chidi Mokeme GQ,being Bisexual.hahahahaha.Abeg make i laugh.


My Sexual orientation is crystal clear.Like i say people are constantly trying to define other people and put them in boxes with recognisable labels. When they find that you are seemingly immune to the kind of shortfallings and drama playing out in their own lives they try to concoct stories to comfort themselves. Truth is people need to really define what they want and where they stand.You see in the course of this one interview we have discussed "Serial Lover", "Silent Playboy", "Gigolo", "Gay/Bisexual" all of this extreme compulsive sexual orientations and we're talking about Only Me.Does it make sense?


Damn, I must be some kind of Super Alien from Space with no preferences.


Like i said, it all boils down to people trying to bring me down to a fathomable and explicable level.


Unfortunately the haters will never be able to figure me out because i'have become an Enigma to them.They just have to get used to me being around.Their lack of understanding of who i am does not,cannot, and will not in any way diminish my total understanding of who i am.

-what kind of person are you?




, I'm just a very self motivated regular guy with irregular ideas about how to live a fulfilled life in this regularly irregular world.



-are you in any altar bound affair as we speak?




, Now that is something Olofofo's wish they knew answers to. They have guessed and failed and guessed and failed and guessed and failed.Let's keep them guessing.





-what qualities would make a lady your ideal woman?




, A woman who is confident and focused. A woman who is congruent with her self and God.





-you are a good dresser chidi and your style is constant,what inspires the kind of clothes you wear?




, The first rule of dressing up for me has to be comfort.If you feel comfortable,you'll act comfortably.I believe strongly that image and appearance is everything.


There's no Second chance to make a first Impression.My Philosophy is that to achieve personal and career growth and development, people,irrespective of what industry they are in, need to dress and look the part.Once you do that you'll feel and act the part, and then you're on your way to being the part.The human body is conditioned like that.




-your son is almost 10years old now,are you a part of his life?does he watch your movies?




My Son will be 12years this year so be careful because he wouldn't like you playing down his age like that oh. He's a Bigz Boyz now.He's got his whole life ahead of him and if he wants that discussed on the pages of magazines that will be up to him not me,untill then,let's leave him out.



-do you have any words for your fans out there?




, I always have words for my fans because without them there is no me.The problem is there's not enough space here to say it all.But i'll like to say to my fans that this is the year that the Lord has made.


This Year i am committed to helping you break out of the Captivity of Negativity.I am committed to helping you maximize your potential, Discover your true self and Leave the Life of your Dreams. If you can Conceive it,You can Achieve it.If you can Visualize it.You can Actualize it.Your Moment of Power Is Now. I Dare you to Dream! If you Believe that this year is yours, follow me right NOW from here to:- http://de.mc431.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=info@chidimokeme.com and check out my website at :- http://www.chidimokeme.com/. I love you all.





-thank you for taking out time to answer some of these controversies surrounding you chidi.




, Thank you for taking out time to talk to me and take a peep into my world.Always a pleasure talking to you Stella.

NO CREDIBILITY IN NIGERIAN AWARDS - P SQUARE
Culled from Thisday

The name P-Square will definitely ring a bell anywhere music is being discussed in Africa . They have become one of the biggest music exports out of Africa . They started their career with nothing but talent, courage and the determination to succeed. Today, they have become one of the richest acts in Africa driving choice cars and living in posh apartments. They have carved a niche for themselves through their soothing lyrical wit coupled with percussive beats. They spoke to SEUN APARA

They looked so simple and casual last Monday evening watching the on-going Africa Cup of Nations and at the same waiting for this reporter to arrive for their interview. After exchanging pleasantries and catching up on old times, we moved from the sitting room to the dinning to conduct this interview.

They have not actually spoken about the success of their latest album since it was released. That was where the interview started from. “It is a successful album. We sold a million copies after eight days. That was fantastic. We performed almost everyday through out the month of December and the album is now everywhere in Africa . We are getting ready for Invasion Africa season two”.

How did they receive the criticisms that followed the release of the album? “It’s bound to happen. We will tell you that we didn’t even receive much criticism on this one like the ‘Game Over’ album. It seems as if people are now used to our style of music. All they do now is to buy and listen”

“We came to realize that one of the problems we have right now in the industry is that people believe the songs that are played in the clubs are the hit songs and they lose focus of releasing songs with good contents. All we need to do is to do music and the society will choose their favourite. Some people now believe only in the instrumentals but music is more than that. The beats, the songs and the delivery should be perfect. When you have a better understanding of what music is, you will let it flow. ‘E No Easy’ was not recorded as a club song but is now one of the most played songs in the clubs. We advise that people should do good music”.

Lots of people refused to play ‘Danger’, one of the songs on their album in their various homes during the festive periods due to the lyrics. It’s however suprising that they felt the same way. “Even we P-Square felt the same. Nobody wants to see wahala (problem) or danger but that is not the concept of the song. At every point in life, one is bound to face danger. The song literarily explained what we went through in our career before we got to where we are now. It means that anybody that wants to enter our shoes too must see danger (laughs). Anyway, Danger was not the main song on the album but only an introduction to it.

They revealed what kept them going. “We believe it is the love for what we are doing and because we know what the people want. We have not changed and we don’t listen to people. We tried to develop ourselves which has really helped us. The ‘Do Me’ track you listen to in Nigeria is different from the Do Me you will listen to in other countries. They tried to play it with their own house beats”.

What informed their decision to start performing live? “We believe that is the way music ought to be done. The truth about this issue is that we play with a live band most times outside Nigeria . Why are we not replicating it in our country? Why are they always making us to perform with CDs? We have stopped that anyway and there is no show you would catch P-Square performing in that act again. Even when the organizers cannot afford the equipments, we go there with ours. We believe it should be encouraged by all the artistes. It is time to start doing music. People need to hear something different from the CDs they listen to every time in their respective homes”.

The twin brothers also explained why they sampled Busta Rhyme’s video to shoot theirs.
“It’s very simple. One of the reasons was that we are tired of seeing some videos we see on air everyday. They all look the same. The same song-Danger was meant to feature Busta Rhyme before everything turned apart. We only tried to do an international video out of Africa and people enjoyed it.

“The new one too is very simple. We just want to do something different. We have done so many love videos in the past where a guy will be holding a lady’s hand and be singing for her. So in this case, we decided to do something simple without any complication for the artiste. Soit is simply for people to enjoy the song”.
They explained how they feel being one of the most popular groups in Africa “We feel great and honoured. We are doing everything possible to maximize it because every artiste has a life span.

They can’t even count how many shows they play week in week out. “That is a very difficult question to answer. We play gigs like everyday. We know of the places we are going next week but we don’t know the ones that will follow. It’s very difficult for us to count.
“We are working on whole lots of stuff. People should expect the Invasion Africa Season Two. We are also working on Invasion Europe and America . At the same time, we are working on some other videos like Possibility and Break It. We are working on lots of things actually. Due to our time table this year, we might not be able to achieve everything but we pray that God will help us.”

They also took their time to speak on insinuations that they have been boycotting awards organized in Nigeria or by Nigerians. “For P-Square, we are occupied. If what people think is that we are boycotting award ceremonies, it’s not completely true. You don’t expect us to return money for a concert we have been paid for because of an award. Another important thing is that we have created a name for ourselves.

So other artistes need the awards more than us. Look at our shelves, they are full of awards. We don’t even have space for them anymore. We are sorry to say this but awards mean nothing to us again. Some will even call us that if we didn’t come, they will give it to someone else. We just felt other artistes need them more than we do. What we are saying is we can’t cancel our show for any award”
“ It is true that we cancelled a show for MTV Africa Music Awards in 2008 but it will never happen again. We knew how much we lost for that single show”.

They refuted allegations that stopped because they didn’t win some categories as expected. ‘Let’s even face it. Everybody loves awards but does it put food on our table? Definitely not! There are lots of stuff that happen behind all these awards that people do not know. When the sponsors give them money, they will go ahead and do whatever they like and be deceiving people. We know all these but for P-Square, we don’t need it”.

“There is no credibility in all the awards organized in Nigeria . I think they have to hear it from the horse’s mouth. They should be doing the awards for the upcoming acts and not for P-Square, 2Face and the rest. We don’t need it”.
Why the sudden change because they loved awards in the past? “Yes but not anymore. It got to a level that it became a headache. I don’t think R-Kelly won so many awards. We just advise they give it to the upcoming ones to ginger them up. We are old now (laughs)”.

What if they are nominated for Grammy? “That is the step. Not these ones. We will definitely go for Grammy”.
“We will definitely go for Grammy. We will cancel the show because it’s worth it. Would they still attend awards organized in Nigeria ? “2010 is a new decade and there are whole lots of things to be achieved. If we are free, we will attend. If we deserve it give it to us but if you we didn’t, give to the person that deserves it”.

“Maybe we have already made up our mind actually because there are whole lots to be achieved in the industry not awards. We don’t even have space for plaques anymore. Let them give it to those that need them. We are not saying awards are completely bad; they are good no matter how old you are. Some little kids from one school recently gave us an award and we love it. Even though it’s made of wood but we still appreciated it. But you know what; P-Square is much occupied. Award organizers are doing their awards to make money; we too should be doing our concerts to make money, Period”!

“It now looks as if they are sharing it. Many of them will come out and campaign for people’s votes but the votes were never declared for once. They enrich themselves through that means and they think we didn’t know (laughs)? If you invite an artiste for an award, you don’t have to beg him to come. Some people will go to the extent of begging us that if we didn’t come, the awards will not be fantastic. My God! You don’t have to do that. If it has credibility, nobody will want to miss it. You will leave whatever you are doing to be there. We have been to international awards and we all enjoyed it. Another problem is everybody is doing awards. We too can wake up tomorrow and do P-Square Awards.

You can imagine the number of awards in Nigeria every year. We just felt these things ought to be checked. The sharing we are talking about is awards A will give best song to his person while awards B will give same category to his own person. The same thing happens with all music awards in Nigeria . It calls for reasoning. One will start wondering if it’s not the same set of people that are voting for the categories. Everybody is just after their pockets. We think they should all come together and put a stop to it.

They also commented on the state of the music industry. “The most important thing right now is for us to do the right thing. Even though the leverage is still there for us and things are getting better by the day, so many things still have to be done because it’s not applicable to other acts. God made ours possible because we do lots of shows especially outside the country. There should be a way to curb piracy and encourage royalty from airplay.

Even if we A-list acts try to enforce it, the upcoming ones will still offer them money to play their videos because they are very desperate. So many things are even wrong with the Nigerian system. We have not had a president for more than two months”.
“We are getting the fight wrong because we are doing it by ourselves. We need to involve the government. LASTMA has been able to curb traffic in Lagos and EFCC has been able to curb corruption. So let the government create a security outfit like that for piracy. If our CDs are selling for N500, they can take N100.

EFCC are fighting corruption because they know that something will definitely come for them anytime they win. We still feel that the body should be under EFCC because it’s part of crime. We heard some people did hunger strike at a time. They demonstrated and later went to Abuja to collect some millions”.
“That is what we heard. Let’s assume we have been on hunger strike since then; we would have been dead by now. Nothing good came out of the hunger strike”.

The brothers are not planning to get married soon. “We will get married someday but we are not thinking about it right now. We will do that at the right time.
But Peter is already a father? (Peter cuts in) There is nothing wrong with being a father but marriage is a different thing. And Paul has a fiancée in the University of Abuja? (Paul screamed) who told you I have a fiancée? You revealed her to me about two years ago?
Yes I did but I didn’t say she is my fiancée. She is my girlfriend and we are still dating. She is about graduating and after that she needs time to settle down and be independent. At the right time, we will all get married. I can’t imagine my wife telling me that I should stop removing my cloths on stage (laughs).

They also spoke about celebrity marriage break ups in Nigeria . “We think people got to know about these break ups because they are popular. There is divorce in every sector of the society. We musicians need to marry someone that is our friend. Someone that is used to us and understands us perfectly than marrying someone who barely know anything about us. It’s a very sensitive issue”.

They felt bad for their colleague- 9ice who recently broke up with his wife. “We felt very bad. We are good friends because he is a wonderful person. He was actually here and the only thing we could say is sorry. When we read it in the papers at first, we thought it was not true until we saw him and he confirmed it. He knows better actually because he is the one wearing the shoes. So who are we to comment? But we were pained when we heard.

KELLY HANSOME-NAMES OF NOISE MAKERS

When this album finally hits shelves nationwide, all eyes will be on kennis music’s last lifeline to see what he actually has to offer. With his infuriating diss track “igwe kom kom” where he took shots at Wande coal, Terry G & D’banj putting him under the spotlight, the onus is on him to deliver because failure to do so might mean the end of his career. Mr. maga is not resting on his oars just yet as he has already released “cool your temper”, which is probably the second single off his sophomore album.

DURELLA-THE GINGER IS CONSTANT

This is definitely an album that will be zangalicious. With the samklef produced “hustler” and the street banger “my life” already tearing up radio. Mushin’s finest looks like a sure bet already, and with the release of his sneaker line “2gbaski”, it is clear to see that the self proclaimed king of the zanga is out to handle his business. After numerous collabos in 2009, the advance warning winner has finally upped his game and might just have an ace up his sleeve as he seeks to eliminate the D’banj comparisons.

2SHOTZ-IAM WILLIAM

The legendary ex trybe records member’s fifth album is already a strong contender for album of the year with just 3 singles released from it. The first single “oyoyo” featuring YQ is presently one of the most requested songs on urban radio, while the MI collaboration “make some noise” is a true hip hop heads delight and an indication that 2shotz might be going back to his hardcore roots on this LP. The only Nigerian MC that has succeeded in finding the right balance between keeping it real & commercial success might just be dropping the biggest album of his career this year.

MI-MI2

Word on the streets is that MI can’t be defused because he is already blown. Truer words were never spoken as the chocolate city star has become a household name following the massive success of his debut album “talk about it” and as such cases usually turn out, everyone is patiently waiting on his follow up album which if rumors are to be believed is titled MI2. No official singles have been released from it yet but Mr. incredible will definitely be in the studio working hard to show that his debut was no fluke.

SASHA-SASHA SPEAKS

The title of her album might suggest that she has run out of ideas as that is the title of her column in hiphop world magazine, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Once you put her singles “making money” & “put it down” into the equation. You will realize that Sasha has a point to prove on her sophomore album. With competition at an all time high, she wouldn’t want to be caught slipping.

NAETO C-SUPER C SEASON

Add an –ing to the album title and you might have a new brand of maggi or indomie seasoning. Jokes aside Naeto C is not a rapper to be played with. At least we already know how much of a big deal he is. What we don’t know yet is how much of a big deal his sophomore set will be. With the release of the singles “ako mi ti poju” & “duro” featuring YQ from his forthcoming album, it will be too risky to underestimate him.

IKECHUKWU-THE ALLIANCE

With 3 songs namely “critical”, “its all on me” & “now is the time” already released, killz's mo hits debut might just be the album that defines the year. Everyone is looking forward to this one not because they are expecting some mind blowing lyrics or some def wordplay but we are all just curious to see how killz will fit into mo hits records. Frankly speaking, third time might just be the charm for Ikechukwu.

TUFACE IDIBIA-UNSTOPPABLE 2

On listening to his most recent song “implication”, it is clear to see that Tuface is trying desperately to right the wrongs of unstoppable. Tu baba is out to prove to the world that he has not lost his edge and that there is life after kennis music. Despite coming under fire for the R.kelly collabo that never was and with his hypertek record label not blowing up as anticipated, Tuface will still want to show his numerous fans how much of a better artiste he has become.

MODENINE-THE DA VINCI MODE

They say if you try and fail, you try again and keep on trying until you eventually get it right. Gone are the days when modey’s throne was unassailable. With the emergence of MI & a lot of other MCs on the scene, the self proclaimed lyricist’s lyricist has finally been forced out of his comfort zone & will have to show that he can hold his own in the face of the stiffest competition. With his Tuface collaboration “we dey vex” already on deck, the stage is now set for Modenine to re establish himself.

KNIGHTHOUSE-THE STREET SCRIPTURES VOLUME 1

If knighthouse's debut album was to be judged by the strength of their EP, then the street scriptures will be a classic. After storming the naija music scene last year with their highly infectious street banger “the finest” featuring Mo’cheddah, Sauce kid & Teeto, the hip hop collective have kept their grind on since by following up with the single “ijinle pam pam” featuring YQ, Othello, Kel & Eldee. This album will have a major impact on the naija hip hop scene because this is the first time a coalition of MCs will come together to make good music.

MRbrownJAY:
what the hell are you talking about?!

ok let me understand you clearly. . . . . . . you buy the stuff in Europe, pay taxes, ship it to Nigeria and sell it at a cheap price out of your car boot?! anyway i wish you all the best with your "genuine" product. . . . . . . . . unless they were stolen goods.

btw any smart business man out there would know that with the price of the dollar falling, the best place to even buy GENUINE RL, would be in the US. . . . . . . . but thats GENUINE RL i am talking about!

very very true

Dr. Chris Ngige of the Action Congress (AC) came second with four councils, while Professor Chukwuma Soludo (PDP) came third winning three councils.

The governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, has been re-elected for another term of four years - taking him to the year 2014.
The official results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) showed that Obi, who ran on the ticket of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), won in 13 out of the 21 local governments in the state.

He also fulfilled the 25 per cent spread required in two-thirds of the councils.

He polled 97,843 votes to defeat his closest rival, Dr Chris Ngige of the Action Congress (AC), who came second with 60,240 votes, while Professor Chukwuma Soludo (PDP) came third with 59,355 votes.

Chief Andy Uba (Labour Party) won 26,106 votes while Uche Ekwunife (Peoples Progressive Alliance) did not win any council. Her total score of 9,595 votes is the sixth highest.

The election was generally said to be peaceful, free and fair, although many voters were disenfranchised following mix-ups in the voters' register.

There were also isolated incidents of attempts to snatch ballot boxes and intimidate voters.

It takes so little to win Nigerians over.
very soon Ibori and Odili will hold press conferences asking Yar Adua to resign for the sake of our NASCENT DEMOCRACY.
Then all will be forgiven.
everyone can see the handwriting on the wall,even the barbarians at the gate can see that their deceit is no longer tenable, hence every one is claiming to be a patriot and on the side of the people.
At the end of the day,due to the realignment of forces and power, Turai will be left alone to carry the can with her sick husband.
Even Andookaa and Bankole will be on the side of 'truth and justice'

i would have preferred artistes with more street credibility.
their message would have resonated better.
imagine Da grin, Nigga raw or Lord of Ajasa on this track.
even 9ice.
men that we know hustled there way from the street to the top.
all these Banky W and MI with their accent have not earned the right to preach yahoo yahoo message to the boys in the street.
we need men from the hood who knew how far.

so what is Dele Momodu doing in the video?
Do you need a scam artist to drive home the ills of scam?

even if she is, what does it change?

Sefago

When the Federal Government announced that President Yar'adua was fit to Govern, Dora Akunyili gave that press conference.

Please kindly direct me to where you came here and criticised her actions so that we can be convinced that your anger with her is justified and to show that you have been on the part of truth all this while.

I get the feeling that you are angry someone from within has called for Yar'adua's resignation and that you are simply promoting the plan by Aondoakaa to get Dora to resign.

Please kindly direct us to where you criticised her all this while for supporting the cabinet's position.

silly assumption.the situation is so warped in the Nigerian political space that people can't even think straight.
every thing is spooky.
This memo issue is a simple plan to curry favour with a gullible public and it is working.
when you are working for a government like this and propped up by men and women like this, what do you expect?
Dora is either naive or delusional.What does she expect?
was she forced to be a part of this mess?
How can you see a government that comprises of characters like Ibori and Andookaa and expect anything good to come out of it?
This woman is not naive nor delusional, she is simply part of the hypocritical bunch that are holding this nation hostage.
just wake up one morning and start writing one silly memo.
i beg e, free me jo.

As befits a woman famous for drinking her urine and bathing in liquid chocolate and spaghetti live on television, Tzofit Grant had an idiosyncratic response yesterday to the news that her husband was seen visiting a Thai “massage parlour” near Portsmouth’s training ground last December.

The story that a Barclays Premier League manager had been caught visiting a massage parlour broke on December 23, but it was not until yesterday, after a freedom-of-speech ruling last week that allowed newspapers to report on John Terry’s extramarital activities, that the man was named as Avram Grant. The 54-year-old was reported to have spent more than an hour inside before leaving in a chauffeur-driven car.

“He phoned me to warn me about the publication and my response was ‘Yes, and?’ ” Tzofit Grant, a television presenter, told a radio station in her native Israel. “If he has gone to a brothel it is no one’s business.”

Tzofit has been married to the former Chelsea first-team coach for 16 years and they have two children. She defended his action as a form of stress relief for the manager of the top flight’s worst side. “He’s the Portsmouth manager and it’s a tough job,” she said. “He needs a massage not from one woman but two. Morning and night. He’s a great manager with amazing potential who is stuck in a s****y team.

“He owes no one any explanation and the fact he chose to have a massage doesn’t make it a brothel. If he had a good time there as well, that’s cool. It was in broad daylight and he walked in there wearing a Portsmouth tracksuit and came out of there smiling because he had nothing to hide. Do you think he would have done that if that was a brothel?”

Not that her opinion of brothels is necessarily negative. “You men need it,” she said. “I only feel sorry for the women involved . . . I’m not cross with him about this kind of rubbish but only about one thing — and I told him that. I’m cross that he doesn’t start every morning and end every night with a massage.”
