The 2013 Oscars nominations were announced this morning with Emma Stone and host Seth MacFarlane listing out the stars and films that are up for the honors at the 85th Academy Awards.

Nursing mother Adele has been nominated for a 2013 Academy Award in the Best Original Song category for her soulful James Bond theme song ‘Skyfall.’

Other big nominees included Silver Linings Playbook and Les Misérables, which racked up eight each, but it was Lincoln that earned the most with 12. Some of our favorite performances, including those from Anne Hathaway, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence all earned nods.

You must have heard the news a while ago. Its confirmed. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have apprehended 8 young men at the 1004 Estate in Victoria Island on Friday 4th of January 2013.

According to sources, the crime commission acted on a tip-off from a resident of the estate. “A petition by a concerned group alerted the Commission about the activities of Olusegun and his co-travelers at the elite 1004 Housing Estate where the fraudsters engaged in fraudulent activities of obtaining money by false pretences and forgery.“

Read the press release by Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC Head of Media and Publicity below:

“One of the undergraduates, Hope Olusegun, a 25 year-old from Okene in Kogi State, and claims to be a student of Computer Science at the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University, Malaysia. He was arrested by operatives of EFCC over allegations of fraud and internet scam.

A search conducted by EFCC operatives at Olusegun’ s apartment led to the recovery of several items such as laptops, iPad phones, traveling documents, cheque books, flash drives, internet modem, and three exotic cars – a Mercedes Benz Jeep, One 4Matic Mercedes Benz Car and a Range Rover Sport SUV. When asked how he came about the cars, Olusegun said the cars belonged to his sister who he claimed lives in the United Kingdom. Operatives of the EFCC also downloaded over 80 implicating documents from the laptops recovered from Olusegun.

However, the Commission is making effort to track down other members of Olusegun’s syndicate who are currently at large. Tunde Wasiu Sodiq, another undergraduate and member of another syndicate with close affinity to Olusegun’s gang was also nabbed by operatives of the EFCC at the Housing Estate.

Besides Sodiq, six other members of the syndicate were equally arrested. They are Badmus Akeem O, Ajijola Oluwatosin Emmanuel, Adebesin Olalekan, Raji Resaq O, Ajibola Adeniyi and Adeboye Lamidi.

Their arrest was sequel to a petition on their notorious activities at the Housing Estate. Sodiq (23) hails from Lagos and claimed to be an undergraduate of Brandry University, Malaysia .

The leader of the syndicate, Badmus Akeem, hails from Ayetoro, Ogun State and attended Oniwaya High School, Agege. He claimed to be a traveler who does odd jobs wherever he travels.”

Here is what the alleged leader of the syndicate Badmus Akeem is quoted to have said – “I decided to move to Malaysia to further my education while I do “Hot jobs” as well. I just got back a week ago before the festive period and also produce music and manage artistes.“

When asked why he chose to live in 1004 at the rate of N30,000 daily, he responded that it was to avoid the stress that friends and relations could bring to him – “I didn’t stay on the Mainland in Lagos because of stress of friends when you just get back from abroad.”

Sodiq claimed the Range Rover Sport car which was recovered from them belonged to his mother. This raised suspicions as the personalized number plate bears his nickname – “T.Wizzle”. In his statement, he claimed his mother “decided to customize the car plate number after the name of her first son.“

The representative of the EFCC confirmed that the suspects will be arraigned in court soon. In addition to the vehicles, other items seized include laptops, flash drives, internet modems and cheque books.

If I were you, I'd work on my spelling and grammar before continuing as a blogger, and teacher. The fact that I could hardly draw out any coherence from your post above, it means your pastime is copy-and-paste.

I wish you the best of what you can do for yourself. Besides, a blog is not a news site, it's more of at timeless diary.

Wow! Criticism at its peak. Let me go through my own post for typographical errors and incorrect grammar before I get blasted by our new 'grammar police'. Lol. But seriously, I think he really needed that. Cus sometyms when you explain to peeps like these that blogging and writing is a talent developed over time, they wouldn't listen. Not everyone is a writer. And if you're not, you can LEARN. You have lots of competitors in the blogging community so u gotta make sure ure exceptionally good at what you do. But its a great site though

I smell something fishy. Someone could have as well shot him in the head, open his mobile device, of which his twitter is still logged in and drop those tweets to make it look like suicide. It might not be true tho. But they should just investigate sha

dvdon: Like are you kidding me?

Its really shocking!

cecegorz: Well, coming from Forbes, that's Ok stat for the Yankees.
If you do a Naija list, you better swap that Nurse position from bottom to top list.
Some of them do their works as if their conscience were dead and buried, no single iota of empathy on the Patients they are meant to care for.
They can watch a pregnant woman bleed to death with the baby, and not lift a finger to help.

I'm still doing a research to find out the cause of this. They can be soooo heartless. Especially those in govt hospitals. Maybe because they know whatever you say can't affect their salary. Psweeeeee!

outrage: How can you tweet after commiting suicide?

He tweeted before he killed himself not after. He's not Chuck Norris now

Really? Girls are making rappers kill themselves now?

It’s allegedly at the point but it’s being said that aspiring rapper Freddy E committed suicide over his failed relationship with female rapper Honey Cocaine.

As many of you may or may not know, both Freddy E and Honey Cocaine are signed to Tyga’s record label Last Kings Entertainment.

Before pulling the trigger, Freddy E expressed his love to his family and wrote the following on Twitter:

https://www.ihiphopmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Freddy-E-Suicide-Tweets.png

Freddy E’s father had this to say:

Today, our son, Frederick Eugene Buhl (@freddy_E), age 22 years old, took his own life with a rifle shot to the head. Our family is saddened beyond words; our loss is great; this tragedy is enormous and unforseen. Not only our family, but the world has lost a talented, sensitive, brilliant young man who lit up our existence with his. We love him a great deal, and he will be sorely missed.

Freddy E was a YouTube star and has a huge following on Twitter, and with most suicide cases, he appeared on thesurface to be someone completely stable and happy.

Apart from the Facebook notice from his father, the only other piece of information Freddy E’s death comes from a blog post made Saturday night by someone who knew him.

“…you said something about being alone and all that shit so I went on your lil crushes twitter, Honey Cocaine. And she talking about being single and how she didn’t tell anybody to fall in love with her. And looking at the tweets and the post you said on facebook a few weeks back about you in love with her and you’ll take a bullet for her, I am praying you didn’t do this over a bitch.”

Blame it on the Girl!
https://www.ihiphopmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Honey-Cocaine.jpg

Right now social media has gone ape shit and someone is trendy, but it’s not Freddy E…..It’s Honey Cocaine.

The Cambodian rapper from Toronto is said to be Freddy E’s girlfriend? ex-girlfriend? never really girlfriend? friends with benefits? friends with no benefits? It’s not clear at this point but what is clear is that the internets have decided that it’s all her fault for him killing himself.

chronique: True. Afterall,she had told me some not good stories abt her past n I still loved her. She should have left me alone to deal with the talk. So long as u're not lying to me,n you've told me abt ur past,then leave me to deal wit wateva comes out from it;abi?

Exactly.

Teenage Money: Na single mother.... Maybe she get em from diff. Men sef.... Tink am

This is a very mean thing to say. That's someone's mother you're referring to. Where you there when she slept with the men?

Fast-growing entertainment site. You read it first from them http://gistville.com

chronique: Na so we see am o. She say pple dey carry gist abt am too much n becos of dat,she nor want make dem know anything abt her private life. But me on d other hand,nor fit cope wit dat kind thing. At d end,I had to tell Her I wasnt interested in d whole thing again.

People need to learn not to care what people say. See what it has cost her. No matter what, people will always talk

@chronique,
Awww, that's sad. I've been introduced as a friend more dan once as well but patience is the key. Its possible she really loved you and wasn't using you. I think you should have asked her why she did that. You know her better though. Pele

I'm not surprised police offer is on the list. I'm sure it especially refers to Nigerian police. Most of them r plain psychopaths

First of all, I guess you're a newbie on nairaland cus you don't even know how to put up a post. Its so clumsy to read. Secondly, you need orientation if you are a blogger. Why use a false title just to gain traffic? Pple will dislike you for this. Outright lie isn't blogging.
I rest my case!

Its seems the tables have turned on Mario Balotelli who has enjoyed more than his fair share of romantic liaisons with a whole host of beautiful women. The 22-year-old footballer has had his heart broken by girlfriend Tabby Brown.

The Playboy model is said to have grown tired of the lack of attention she received from the Manchester City striker, and has since ran into the arms of R&B star Trey Songz, 28.

And rather than take the end of the romance on the chin, the fiery Italian is said to have got ‘angry and upset’ with his former flame.

A friend of 28-year-old Tabby: ‘It really did affect him. He got angry and upset and tried to pursue her. He had probably never been dumped before.’

It hadn’t been an easy ride for Tabby and Balotelli, with their seven-month relationship already put to the test when the footballer’s ex-girlfriend Raffaella Fico announced her pregnancy and subsequently gave birth to their baby daughter last month.

A source added: ‘She wasn’t getting enough attention. Trey swept her off her feet.’

Abbey2sam: Now the deal is, if you realise that she has been using you don't break up with her; simply turn the table around............

There was this gurl who knew that I was madly in love with her;but instead of her to reciprocate my love she decided to use me but as a sharp guy I detected it and turn the game around.

How to turn the table around

Very simple, all you need do is remove love from the equation and sail,date othEr gurls cuz u need to

Jeez! You're harsh o. Seems ure old in the 'using' game sef

coolkris: This na old news na...mitchy you know na..chris brown by now go dey wire rihana now o..

You're wrong. No one had a video(in HD) that captured Chris Brown's entire performance at the concert. Watch it and I bet you'll fall in love with this dude

Hmmm. I've got 6 brothers. I'm the only lady in the house. And seriously, my growing up was fun. We had maids so there was no real ish of me doing all the work. But it got to a point mum started making me work my ass out so I can learn. Sometimes I miss having a sis. It made a tomboy though, but I guess I'm out growing that.
