She worked the crowd up into a celebratory frenzy with her set, which lasted almost two hours and included two encores. Badu followed performances from Ugandan Saxophonist Isaiah Katumwa, DJ Andre and DJ Adrian.
It was all fun and a memorial Day of Kenya. Hit the read more to see more pictures from this event.

Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of delta state controlling traffic at Inter Bua Round About,

omicron: Lol, i will NON WORRY again sha

ypzilanti: Nice one! Good investment in the best brains in the state. This proves the saying that even a bad clock is right twice a day.

omicron: chai, pls don't complicate this headache i'm having.

monkeyleg: don't you get tired of washing your masters filthy dirty laundry. surely you are the only one who does not see him as a failure. Even Uduaghan admits that he is absolutely useless, with no plan, vision or capacity to deliver any good for the state. He should hurry up and get out of that office.

Delta state governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has directed principals of secondary schools located in flood devastated areas of the state to ensure that SS III students were registered in the NECO and WAEC school certification examinations.

Dr. Uduaghan gave the directive recently during a serial meeting with political appointees and House of Assembly members to review the flood situation in the state. He enjoined principals in the flood areas to immediately take action and register students for the school certificate examinations.

He told them not to fail because any form of complacency on their part would impede the academic progress of the students.

His words “You cannot afford to fail to register the students. Don’t toy with the future of the students. They must write NECO and WAEC school certificate examinations so put machinery in motion now to get them registered.

The Gov., Who also directed the state Ministry of Education to conduct JSS III certificate examinations, said the flood should not be used as an excuse to truncate the academic ambition of students.

He also added that every students has a time frame for the completion of an academic programme and directed the state Ministry of Education to ensure that students in flood devastated areas were not frustrated.

ozodigboo: Now, the next step is to encourage these fine young men & women, to co-habit, have s.e-x, and produce exceedingly brilliant young chaps for the future of our great Delta. it will work. Uduaghan knows.He is a doctor.

mrkels: [size=15pt]Indeed, shebi na the delta state I dey too when my junoir brother get sharp firstclass and me get sharp 4. Sometin 2.1, y was he not contacted? Abegi... Even the nddc scholarship I applied for was rubbish too(they gave it to some selected few)...mtcheeeeew. The painful part is all these ones would go and dash that money to the UK govt and come back immediately after 1 year because there's no chance of getting it back after giving so much to their over priced academic system.[/size]

Clemzy16: Run for governorship position; they need people of your class! Back-to-topic=> Questions that comes to mind.. Do these people really worth the FIRST CLASS In the first place?! Can they defend their result?! Is this not an avenue to squander more money?! The answer is best known amongst them.

pro01: This is very good to hear! Since Nigerian governments compulsively waste public funds on all kinds of frivolities, they might as well 'waste' some of the awoof money on people that have actually done something to deserve it. This is certainly an incentive for brilliant folks to take their studies more seriously.

If my state government had been this thoughtful, perhaps I would have cut down a few extra hours of beer-drinking time just to make first class. Lol.

chiover: go bak to yr one and mek it bro

Etumgbe: This is unfair ooo. What of us the THIRD CLASS graduates?

Tension heightened at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps set up by the state government for flood victims at Isoko South local government area of Delta State following the arrest of the President General and chairman of troubled Uzere kingdom, Chief Emiakpo Owhe.
The arrests, which coincided with the visit of President Goodluck Jonathan to the flooded communities in the area, were condemned by majority of the flood victims, especially the Uzere people at the camps. They accused Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of being behind the arrest of the community leaders, saying the governor is acting out a script written by the allegedly dethroned king of the community.
It would be recalled that two weeks ago, the Deputy Governor, Prof. Amos Utuama, was in Uzere kingdom to address the people affected by the ravaging flood that swept across parts of the state. The aggrieved community took Utuama and his entourage hostage for several hours for visiting the allegedly dethroned monarch, Isaac Odogri.
Barely few days after that incident, the state government drafted to the community trucks loads of soldiers and anti-riot mobile policemen and started arresting people indiscriminately.
It was gathered that following the arrest of the leaders, fear gripped some of the Uzere flood victims, leading a large number of them to refuse to go to the camps set up by the state government whom they accused of backing the alleged estranged ruler.
They fear they could also be arrested or poisoned in the camps since the police in the state had declared many of them wanted over the crisis that had rocked the community.
The Uzere people had earlier accused the state government as well as police of indiscriminate arrest and harassment of its indigenes, including the most recent arrest of the 22 farmers and fishermen. Some primary and secondary school children were also arrested, along with the adults and sent to Kwale prison.
The community, through their counsel, Chief Victor Otomewo, said that the allegedly deposed Ovie (king), Isaac Udogri I, was the one using the police against the community.
Chief Otomewo, who briefed newsmen on behalf of the community, accused the state government of fueling the crisis in Uzere.
He blamed the predicament of the community on the apparent reluctance of the state government to release the White Paper on the judicial panel of inquiry into the bloody crisis.
Chief Otomewo, a former Attorney-General of the state, said that the failure of the state government to make public the recommendations of the Rtd. Justice S.A. Ehiwario-led panel of inquiry is causing more harm than good to the community.
He said that the arrest of the 22 persons, including children, was to please the allegedly estranged king who wants to intimidate the community into succumbing to pressure to return him to the throne.
Crisis enveloped the oil producing community late last year when some youths were killed during a protest against Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC). The traditional ruler of the kingdom was allegedly deposed and another installed in his place.
But the state government gave the estranged monarch its support, and insists that he remains the only recognised ruler in the community.
