Sports / Wenger Accept Seven Days Visit To Nigeria As He Thanks Arsenal Fans In Nigeria. by pckid: 7:10pm On Jun 27, 2010
Arsenal FC’s manager, Arsene Wenger has shown that he’s a big fan of Nigerian football. Wenger, who is currently in South Africa working as a TV commentator for a french station reviewed the super eagles’ performance at the on-going world cup as he disclosed “I know much about Nigerian football. The team was not bad but they missed or lacked the killing edge that makes them efficient. They had a good game against South Korea, but were unlucky”.

He has therefore taken the responsibility on himself to help restructure the Nigerian football when he agreed to embark on a 7 days visit to Nigeria so as to educate local coaches on coaching skills and also how to scout for talented players. He said this in a meeting he held with the Nigerian officials on last Thursday in Johannesburg.

Wenger went on to praise the spi, http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/06/wenger-accept-seven-days-visit-to-nigeria-as-he-thanks-arsenal-fans-in-nigeria/

Sports / Osaze Odemwingie Blast Nwankwo Kanu, Yobo And Nff: by pckid: 1:05am On Jun 27, 2010
The world cup was not a feast for striker Osaze Odemwingie as coach Lar Lagerback rarely gave him a chance to play the three group stage matches. NFF official say it was because he [Osaze] was a bad influence on the team and refusal to follow Lar Lagerback’s tactical instructions.

There also seem to be conflict between Super eagles striker Osaze Odemwingie and the captain Nwankwo Kanu following the super eagles’ exit from the world cup.

Nigerian team finished at the bottom of group B behind the Argentines, S. Korean and Greek team. Sources close to the players tell German Press Agency that Osaze took a swipe at Kanu’s captaincy – Kanu would rather want to stay in the good books of the Nigeria Football Federation before the interest of the players.

He also lamblasted the deputy captain Joseph Yobo for concealing an injury so he could play, calling him ‘unprofessional’. Yobo quit the final match against S. Korea due to a groin injury.

A shouting match was also reported after the game against Greece where Osaze blasted both captains and the NFF.
Celebrities / Twelve Unseen Michael Jackson’s Portraits To Be Auctioned by pckid: 12:58am On Jun 27, 2010
Never-before-seen portraits of Michael Jackson shot by French photographer Arno Bani in 1999 will hit the block this October at the Pierre Berge Associes auction house. In one of the photographs revealed to the press, titled simply “Michael Jackson’s Blue Eye,” Jackson is seen posing solemnly in a studded black blazer with a glittery blue circle enveloping his left eye. The 12 prints, each numbered “one of one,” will be up for auction October through December with an opening bid of 1,000 Euros. Fifty contact boards from the photo session will also be auctioned off.

According to the AFP, Jackson entrusted Bani to photograph him after seeing Bani’s work in the Sunday Times’ Style magazine. Bani’s shots were originally destined to become artwork on Jackson’s final studio album, 2001’s Invincible, but the record company ultimately decided on other imagery. The auction house has indicated the photographs will be published in undisclosed locations worldwide in October, http://www.questionmarkmag.com/2010/06/twelve-unseen-michael-jacksons-portraits-to-be-auctioned/

Celebrities / Jameel ‘disu Speak On His Marriage To Bella Adenuga. by pckid: 12:57am On Jun 27, 2010
Years of courtship and months of planning has metamorphosed into a tidal wave of love and laughter for Belinda Ajoke Olubunmi Adenuga and Jameel Olatokunbo Disu when they decided to say “I do” in Lagos

Though it is just April, the fourth month of year 2010, those who had the privilege of attending this celebration of immense love confessed to us that in terms of sheer class, creativity and colour, this will certainly be the wedding of the decade-and its effects will be etched on their hearts for many years to come.

Weeks before the wedding ceremonies kicked off, the media was agog with the story and all kinds of speculations had begun. The media attention was understandable because this was no ordinary wedding. The bride, popularly known as Bella but fondly called Bunmi by family members, is the daughter of Africa’s richest entrepreneur and Chairman of Globacom, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr.

The Interview with Ovation - Mr and Mrs Disu

Thus, as the months grew to weeks, everyone was waiting anxiously for the day that the beautiful Bella will be officially swept off her feet by her Prince Charming- and they will openly declare to live happily as man and wife forever.

In an exclusive interview with Ovation, the couple revealed that theirs was a friendship made in heaven. This is because, they were never introduced but met each other at a party, and sparks flew.

At that initial meeting, Jameel did not know who the likeable lady he had just bumped into really was, all he saw on that day was a well-mannered lady, who was always smiling and was at ease with herself. He liked what he saw-and like any young man, he wanted to go a bit further and know her more.

Well, according to the couple, they never exchanged numbers that night, but fate had something good in store for them, and a few weeks later, they met again at the party of Bolaji Folawiyo and Shasha Israni, this time, Jameel will not let this jewel slip off his fingers without making a move. He got her number, and she introduced herself as Bunmi Marquis.

SPECIAL INTERVIEW WITH COUPLE
“OUR LOVE STORY” BELLA AND JAMEEL REVEAL HOW THEY MET AND FELL IN LOVE
A few days after their celebration of love, the couple granted us an exclusive interview inside their home in Ikoyi, Lagos.

JAMEEL

What attracted you to Bella

Obviously, she is a very beautiful lady. We met six years ago and ever since we met, we have been very good friends. We have spent a lot of time together. She is a very honest and sincere person.

How did you meet her

Actually, it is a funny story. I came back to Nigeria six years ago. I met her three days after she also moved back. I went out with some friends to a place called Hacienda, on the Island, though it has been closed down now. I think as I was going in, I met her by the door. We said hello to each other and that was it. We didn’t exchange numbers. A few days later, I attended a party thrown by Bolaji Folawiyo and Sasha Israni. I went there with some friends and she was also there with her cousin and a friend. A friend of mine met her cousin and they exchanged numbers. We equally exchanged numbers. Since then we have been together.

Were you aware then that she is Dr. Mike Adenuga’s daughter

No, I was not aware. Even when we first met, I never knew she was Dr. Mike Adenuga’s daughter until after about two weeks.

Where were you based before you came back to Nigeria

I was based in the United States

You were studying

Yes, I was studying. I finished my Masters then and moved back to Nigeria. I went on holiday three months after I moved back. I just got back from my holiday and she just moved back also.

Celebrities / Pastor Taiwo Odukoya Speaks On Late Wife, Pastor Bimbo, New Wife And New Life. by pckid: 5:44pm On Jun 22, 2010
An hurricane of sorrow and grief swept through Nigeria, indeed, the African continent, on Saturday, December 10, 2005, when a Sosoliso DC 10 aircraft slammed its belly on the runway of the Port Harcourt International Airport, yielding more than 100 deaths, including many holidaying students of the prestigious Loyola Jesuit School, Abuja. There was even more wailing when news filtered that sultry Pastor Bimbo Odukoya, Nigeria’s leading female televangelist at the time, and the charismatic wife of the Rev. Taiwo Odukoya, senior pastor of the Fountain of Life Church, Ilupeju, Lagos, had died in the crash.

Christendom mourned. Even the heavens shed hot tears of agony over the huge calamity that had befallen the church and country. Devastating as it was, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya bore his pains with the strength of Christ on the way to Golgotha and continued the great work that the Lord committed into his hands.

However, four years down the line, God, whom he has faithfully served, wiped away his tears, and he found love again. By some divine arrangement, he met a South African beauty, former Miss. Rosemary Simangele Zulu and the two lovebirds hit it off in a whirlwind romance that culminated in marriage on January 5, 2010. The marriage had the unalloyed blessing of his three children with the late Pastor Bimbo.

If the news that filtered into the press last week is to be held sacrosanct, then, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, a petroleum engineer, will soon become a father again. His wife, we reliably learnt, is pregnant.

Recently, Pastor Odukoya sat down with me for about two hours in his Ikeja GRA residence and granted The Spectator his most comprehensive and most revealing interview ever, see interview at http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/06/pastor-taiwo-odukoya-speaks-on-late-wife-pastor-bimbo-new-wife-and-new-life/

Politics / Time To Confront These Nigerian Legislators Earning 1.5 Million Dollars A Year B by pckid: 11:52pm On Jun 20, 2010
Bashorun Dele Momodu Below is a 2011 presidential aspirant, ThisDay ‘Pendulum’ Column writer and Ovation International Magazine Publisher.

Everywhere in the world, parliamentarians are the authentic representatives of the people. That’s why they are called members of Congress in the United States of America. They are a governing and law-making body. Members are usually respected and respectable.

They comprise the best and the brightest. The pedigree of every Congressman is expected to be impeccable, and never shrouded in mystery. Their participation in elections are subject, and subjected, to the most rigorous scrutiny. Every Congressman dreams of the bills he wants to sponsor. He prepares as if he’s going to war. The President knows he would be grilled on his pet project even by members of his own party. He has to be combat ready, and his weapons are sacred facts. Not some bags of money to bribe the law-makers. This is what dignity is all about.

In our clime, the story is different. Many of our legislators are dumped on us by some godfathers. Politics has nothing to do with credentials. Or achievement in public and private lives. Anyone can aspire to any post or position, even if he’s a stark raving illiterate. In fact, he stands a better chance if he knows nothing about what he’s been appointed for. It does not matter if he’s been a complete failure in life. What matters most is his ability to lie prostrate, lizard-like, and pay permanent obeisance to the fake Lords of the Manor.

Naturally, a powerful man who has emerged from that type of a warped process is not expected to be reasonable and incorruptible. He has to constantly pour libations to the gods of transient power. For such a man, power in itself is the beginning and the end. It is a matter of life and death. Complete upstarts are known to have been completely transfigured into important members of the society on attaining the highest positions of authority in the land. Nigerian politicians are of a special breed.

They live like emperors. They are supposed to be the servants of the people, but they d,

Music/Radio / The Game Regretted Dissing Jayz And Beyonce As He Ends The Feud. by pckid: 1:33am On Jun 17, 2010
http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/06/the-game-regretted-dissing-jayz-and-beyonce-as-he-ends-the-feud/

American rapper, The Game who has dissed JayZ for years has not only ended the beef but regretted the punch lines he has been throwing at JayZ and his wife, Beyonce. He told Yahoo! that he followed Pharrell, a close friend of JayZ and Dr. Dre’s advice to quit dissing the Roc Nation founder, JayZ as it does no good but damage to his future. The Brooklyn rapper, JayZ has never replied any of The Game’s diss track, even the last diss track he released last year titled ‘i’m so wavy‘ got no reply from JayZ. The Game later admitted that he and his girlfriend are fans of JayZ’s wife, even at the time he was dissing Jay and Bey. Currently, Pharrell and Dr. Dre are working hard on Game’s new album ‘R.E.D’.

This is what the game told Yahoo! “As far as Jay, he’s a good friend of Pharrell’s and he worked with Jay recently. I decided along with (Dr.) Dre and Pharrell, that being at odds with him wasn’t beneficial to what we’re trying to do in the future, so later for that. Maybe I stepped over the line because i listen to Beyonce’s music. My girl listens to Beyonce’s music. All girls do. So, by like, it was like a chick army at my next show. Plus, I didn’t really mean that much harm, man. It’s just rap, man.”

Is this an appeal for a collaboration with JayZ.

Music/Radio / Kelly Hansome Begs Kenny Ogungbe But Still Mad At M.i. by pckid: 2:10pm On Jun 15, 2010

Months ago, Kelly Hansome revealed his dismay and eventual break down of the relationship with the C.E.O of the label he was signed on - Kennis Music in an interview and it has served as the pivotal for several other issues with Kennis Music producer responding, vehemently. Kelly Hansome was also threatened via SMS after the release of 'Catch me if you can' song online and the name 'Kelly Hansome' was synonymous with controversy as the song directly spoke to the C.E.O of Kennis Music and Primetime Entertainment, Kenny Ogungbe. Kelly Hansome also made use of the avenue to tell and address his grudge with rapper M.I. who in an earlier song of his mentioned Kelly Hansome insinuating he would rather 'talk to the man - Kenny Keke Ogungbe instead of Kelly.' which Kelly hansome finds disrespectful.

The reason for the conflict with Keke was Kelly Hansome wanting out of his contract with Kennis Music and the executives at the record label not ready to as Kelly Hansome is 'still owing them money" as a source close to them informed.

Kenny Ogungbe in an interview said: “Here was a young man we brought back into the country, released his songs, housed him, shot his videos and what we get in the end is unwanted publicity as a result of his actions”,
Politics / An Eye Witness Account Of The Most Recent Motor Bike Crisis In Jos by pckid: 9:11am On Jun 13, 2010
http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/06/an-eye-witness-account-of-the-most-recent-motor-bike-crisis-in-jos/

At about 8:30am today Monday 7th June 2010, the peaceful Jos City witnessed another pandemonium as the Hausa-Fulani boys and men took to the streets, protesting against the Armed Forces Men who had gone out to implement the policy against the use of motorbikes for commercial purpose in the township.

Few minutes after the joint team of the armed forces had gone away, a huge army of Hausa-Fulani men and boys started breaking bottles, throwing stones, asking passers-by of their religions etc. As if the security forces were informed, they returned immediately to calm the angry mob but instead of calm, a resistance was put forth and the armed forces resulted to the use of tear gas to disperse them.

About an hour later, a young Hausa man brought out a knife from his bosom, walked close to a passing vehicle and stabbed a Policeman twice on the chest, just opposite the ECWA Good news Church at Terminus area. The Policeman was only sitting in the front seat, beside the driver of the Jeep he was in. The attacker simply cleaned his knife on his trouser right before us, later opened his long caftan and put his knife back into the safe around his waist. People took to their heels immediately while the driver drove off to an unknown destination with his wounded and dying Police passenger. People who ran into Mr. Biggs restaurant for safety began to share diverse opinions about the government orders and the resultant violent protest. Some were of the view that there ought to be a final warning about the ban of motorbike before the armed forces members took to the streets at terminus this morning. Others were of the opinion that there had been enough warning before this morning’s implementation.

Rather, the violent group in the city will always react against anything against their wish. Others fully supported the government policy over the use of motorbike because of the criminal activities of the users, including robbery, kidnapping etc. Also mentioned were issues of recklessness of the users in the township arrears. Others added that most of the bike users are the mercenaries hired into Jos City for the purpose of reinforcement in their battles against their opponents. Others were a bit sentimental arguing that the bike users are neither indigenes nor settlers on the Plateau, so they have constituted both security and economic risks on the Plateau, adding that as soon as the motor bike became a means of transport in Jos, there was a huge influx of strange people from neighboring towns like Lafia, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba, Adamawa, Katsina, Kaduna, Kano, Maiduguri and some were not even Nigerians etc. Subsequently, there were gunshots into the air by the members of the armed forces before there was a reasonable calm. However, all who have locked up their shops never went back to trade.

A few strange things to note there today: The protest was like an ethnic protest. It was surprising that only the Hausa-Fulanis were the tribes protesting and no other tribe was notably involved in the protest. It was also surprising that notable politicians and people in government claimed ignorance of what was going on when they were called on phone. Also to note is the fact that the Federal Capital Territory and other states like Benue, Rivers, Lagos, Edo etc have taken similar measures about the use of the motor bike and there was no such resistance, but why is it a different ball game here on the Plateau?

There are a few interesting things to note today in all of the episodic uproar: the first to note is the immediate response by the members of Mobile Police who quickly dispersed the angry mob with tear gas. Another interesting thing to note is that it is gradually getting clearer who is fighting on the Plateau and who is aggrieved. It is gradually getting clearer that religion is not the issue but other deadly but hidden agenda of some invisible cabals. It was also noted during the free discussions that if the State Governor had made an announcement before the task force went out today, some sect of religion would have mobilized another religious war, as usual, to counter the government policy.

In a little while, we would have witnessed the worship buildings touched and people killed and maimed for no just cause. Some people also suspected that the unrest was intended to have the suspended curfew restored in order to claim political instability, which may eventually lead to the declaration of a “state of emergency”.

Music/Radio / Lil Kim Explains Why She Dissed Nicki Minaj As Drake Replies. by pckid: 11:30pm On Jun 12, 2010
Female rapper, Lil Kim has been raining assaults on the new female rapper Nicki Minaj. Kim claimed she wants unity among female rappers and hence, all female rappers must respect the queen bee (Lil Kim). Nicki’s failure to pay respect has been a major concern and fear to Lil Kim. Lil Kim’s been throwing jabs at nicki everywhere she goes.
Lil Kim later explained why she’s dissing Nicki as she says “for the last year, she has been subliminally taken shots at me. Subliminally taken shots at the other girls in the industry. She later claimed she read an interview where Nicki says ” being that the other rap chicks in the game aint got shit to do right now, when i’m by the pool they can feed me grapes“.[which Nicki told Complex Magazine].
Kim says “ lets go all the way back when she first came out and was doing all my songs over. There was certain interviews that she was doing and my fans got upset because she was busting shots at me. She said some shit on twitter like ‘oh f*ck all you lil kim fans. Nicki minaj is the shit right now”
“my thing was, home girl got a nice little buzz going. Its obvious i’m who she wants to be like. It’s obvious she likes me and wants to be like me but she’s not paying this homage”. Lil Kim concluded.
Lil Kim discovered that Diddy is set to be Nicki’s new manager, she has not hesitated to throw insult at her old friend, Diddy when she said ‘ Puffy should be ashamed of his fucking self ‘. However, Nicki Minaj has continued to remain silent.

Lately, Drake came to Nicki’s rescue when he replied Lil Kim “so I just wanna say you (Nicki) the baddest woman to do this rap shit. I dont give a f*ck what Lil Kim or nobody else is talking about, you’re the baddest chick to ever do this shit!”

Here’s hoping things work out well between the two female rappers. And if not, it is left to the young money leader, Lil Wayne to settle it all when he comes out of the jail by november.

Music/Radio / Kajola, Africa’s First 130 Million Naira Cgi Movie For Premiere On July 30th. by pckid: 11:16pm On Jun 12, 2010
There was an argument about its pioneering claim in Nigeria but what is certain is Kajola is a noteworthy and quick to be tagged trailblazing effort from Niyi Akinmolayan. Kajola which translates as ‘commonwealth’ in the Yoruba dialect is from the stable of Port Harcourt based record label and film studio Adonai Production. CGI is an acronym for Computer generated Images and ‘Kajola’ combines real images/camera shots of Lagos and abstract computer generated illustration to deliver a story shot in the year 2059 and the plot is Lagos, Nigeria. A rebel leader, Allen is born that is played by Adonijah Owiriwa compulsed by the torn Lagos state after a second civil war – The rich relocate to the island area of the state, transforming their side of town while the mainlanders were abandoned. Allen led a rebellion against the government in a plot codenamed ‘Kajola’ . Police Chief Yetunde [played by Keira Hewatch] is to stop the rebellion. Somewhere into the movie, they came to a realization – that they were lied to. “It is a story of love, lust and struggle for power” in Niyi Akinmolayan’s words. “We have told the same story in a different premise using sci – fi as a medium and using special effects” the director/writer added.

Politics / Dimeji Bankole Can’t Bank On Members As Anarchy Looms by pckid: 11:14pm On Jun 12, 2010
Checks reveal that anarchy is about to be loosed on the lower house, if the impending ruckus is not nipped in the bud. It all began as verbal exchange and degenerated into a fistfight but was summarily settled. However, emerging indication reveals

that things have fallen apart amongst members of the House of Representatives and the falcon can no longer hear the falconer.

We understands that members opposed to the speaker of the house representative, Rt Hon. Dimeji Bankole has asked him to prepare his will because his demise was imminent. A text message received by his media assistant, from unidentified persons with GSM No.07039828940, read: “ Mr. P.A, you & your boss are nothing but dead bodies but you will be firstly face the consequences shortly, prepare your will now.”

However, the leadership of house of representative is leaving no stone unturned, and has alerted security agencies of the threat to the speaker. Spokesman of the House, Hon.Eseme Eyiboh, in a statement said the leadership was concerned about the plot by members opposed to Bankole to destabilize the House.

Hear him:“Our attention has been drawn to various media reports credited to a member of the House of Representatives alluding to threats of anarchy in the House of Representatives on resumption.

“Our worry is not only on the threat of anarchy, but the implications of these threats at a time when the various arms of government and the President are doing all that is needed to create leverage for a peaceful, united and integrated Nigeria.
