Here she goes again ...Sent Drake’s ‘Used To’ Beat Via Instagram DM
BY SERMON · FEBRUARY 16, 2015

wondagurl-21

Wondagurl already has credits with Jay-Z (‘Crown’), and Travi$ Scott, but she can now add Drake after appearing on If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late twice. While she tells MTV that ‘Company‘ was merely her sending the beat to Travi$ who added his touch, how she got ‘Used To’ to Drake is a little more interesting.

“I made the beat at my house and then I finished it at a studio,” Wondagurl told MTV this past weekend. “When I finished it, I sent Drake a video through Instagram, through the Direct Message that they have on there. I sent him the video and asked, ‘Would you rap on this?’ He said it was really hard, but to send it. So, I sent it and it turned into [‘Used To’].”

Wondagurl hopes this gets her one step closer toward her dream to produce for Kanye West. Considering her biggest credits all work with Yeezy, it seems like only a matter of time before that happens.

Are you a fan of ‘Used To’ and ‘Company?’..

Watching this princess realizing her dreams

Mayany:
well they might not be holding a political office but billionaires nation wide play major roles in politics and most of them get govt patronage

Dr. Ibe Kachikwu is sure not a politician. His daughter got married yesterday and it was a blast at Oriental hotel in Lagos. IBB, Elemulu, Uduaghan etc all attended.

That is one sharp Delta man I know. Works very hard for his money and equally balls so hard on it

This is a very barbaric and canibalistic behavior ... Is this what we have become.

I need the NPF to swing into action at once, everybody in dat picture should be arrested and interrogated. The perpatrators of this act should be brought to face the wrath of the law. These shameless Babarians are all suspects
And they should be arrested.

We need a disciplinarian for a leader. Pls vote for change, vote wisely.

Meanwhile this should also be forwarded to an international human rights group

Its so sad now

For the first time in the four years that FORBES has been tracking Africa’s richest, Nigeria bests South Africa. At the top yet again is cement tycoon Aliko Dangote of Nigeria, joined on the list of Africa’s 50 Richest by 12 other countrymen. In comparison South Africa claims 11 spots, down from 14 a year ago. Nigeria is showing its strength, having earned commendations for its efforts to snuff out Ebola in the country, which Dangote helped fund — and despite a recent drop in oil prices.
There are three new billionaires on the list: Orji Uzor Kalu of Nigeria, Tony Elumelu of Nigeria and King Mohammed VI of Morocco. Three billionaires on last year’s list are no longer members of the 10-figure club: Vimal Shah of Kenya is off the list, replaced by his father Bhimji Depar Shah at a lower net worth. Abdulsamad Rabiu of Nigeria dropped below $1 billion due to ceased operations at his cement company in Nigeria. And South African mining mogul Desmond Sacco dropped to a net worth of $680 million, down from $1.4 billion last year, because of a sharp decline in the share price of his mining firm Assore Group. The net result: the number of billionaires on the list stayed steady with 2013 at 27.
For the full list, see www.forbes.com/africa-billionaires

Africa’s 50 richest are, as a whole, wealthier than a year ago. Their combined net worth of $110.7 billion is 6.7% more than in November 2013. The minimum net worth needed to join this elite group rose to $510 million, up from $400 million a year ago.

Behind Aliko Dangote at number one with a fortune of $21.6 billion, comes South African luxury goods magnate Johann Rupert, number two for the second year in a row, worth an estimated $7.3 billion. His Compagnie Financiere Richemont has a stable of luxury brands including Cartier, Montblanc and fashion house Azzedine Alaia.

Six newcomers join the list of richest Africans, including the above mentioned new billionaires, as well as Ali Wakrim of Morocco and Ahmed Ezz of Egypt. Mohamed Bensalah of Morocco rejoins the list after dropping off in 2013. Seven members of the 2013 list fell off: Vimal Shah of Kenya (as mentioned earlier, his father Bhimji replaced him), Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa, Raymond Ackerman of South Africa, Sani Bello of Nigeria, Adrian Gore of South Africa, Shafik Gabr of Egypt, and Alami Lazraq of Morocco.

The oldest person on the list is 85 – both Miloud Chaabi of Morocco and Onsi Sawiris of Egypt share that age. The youngest is Mohammed “Mo” Dewji of Tanzania, age 39. The number of women on the list is two, unchanged from a year ago. Thirty-five of the fortunes were self made; two were inherited and the remaining 13 were inherited but are being expanded. The average net worth of each list member is $2.2 billion, compared to $2.1 billion a year ago.

METHODOLOGY

Our list tracks the wealth of African citizens who reside on the continent, thus excluding Sudanese-born billionaire Mo Ibrahim, who is a U.K. citizen, and billionaire London resident Mohamed Al-Fayed, an Egyptian citizen. We calculated net worths using stock prices and currency exchange rates from the close of business on Friday, November 7. To value privately-held businesses, we couple estimates of revenues or profits with prevailing price-to-sales or price-to-earnings ratios for similar public companies.

We have purposely excluded dispersed family fortunes such as the Chandaria family of Kenya and the Madhvanis of Uganda, because the wealth is believed to be held by dozens of family members. We do include wealth belonging to a member’s immediate relatives if the wealth can be traced to one living individual; in that case, you’ll see “& family” on our list as an indication.

She tracks the worlds wealthiest people

This year, six newcomers join the ranks of Forbes’ fourth annual ranking of the richest people in Africa, down from nine last year. Nigeria and Morocco produced the highest number of newcomers, with two each, while Kenya and Egypt produced one new member each.
Tony O. Elumelu, a Nigerian investor and founder of African investment firm Heirs Holdings, joins the rich list with a net worth of $1 billion. Elumelu owns a controlling stake in Transcorp, a listed Nigerian conglomerate that has interests in insurance, healthcare, hotels, power production, energy and agriculture. Elumelu is a proponent of Africapitalism, an economic philosophy that propagates that the African private sector has the power to transform the continent through long-term investments, creating both economic prosperity and social wealth. Elumelu made his fortune when he bought into a struggling Nigerian commercial bank and transformed it into the United Bank for Africa, a leading commercial bank with a presence in 19 African countries.
The wealthiest newcomer to this year’s list of Africa’s 50 Richest is His Majesty, King Mohammed VI of Morocco, who debuts with a fortune estimated at $2.1 billion. King Mohammed VI owns an estimated 40% stake in Société Nationale d’Investissement (SNI), a Moroccan investment holding company which owns almost half of Attijariwafa, Morocco’s largest bank, and significant stakes in mining company Managem Group and sugar producer Cosumar.

Elumelu made his fortune when he bought into a struggling Nigerian commercial bank and transformed it into the United Bank for Africa, a leading commercial bank with a presence in 19 African countries.

Orji Uzor Kalu, also a Nigerian, is more well known in the west African country as a politician. But the former governor of Abia state, located in Nigeria’s southeastern region, is also one of the country’s most successful businessmen. He made his first million at age 20 by trading agricultural commodities, and then found his way into the circles of influential military personnel who awarded him lucrative contracts to import and supply arms and ammunition to Nigeria’s defense forces. He made a killing reinvesting his profits into expanding Slok Group, his privately-held trading and manufacturing empire. The Slok Group, a west African conglomerate in which he owns more than 90%, has interests in shipping, banking, aviation, steel and manufacturing. His country home in Igbere, Abia state, has 400 rooms and is one of the largest private homes in Nigeria.

Bhimji Depar Shah, a Kenyan, is the founder of Bidco Oil refineries, the leading manufacturer of edible oils in east and central Africa. His son, Vimal Shah -who serves as the company’s CEO, was featured in the FORBES list of Africa’s 50 Richest last year, but new information regarding company ownership led us to attribute the fortune to the father and his family rather than to his son Vimal.

Ali Wakrim and family from Morocco are co-owners in Akwa Group with Aziz Akhannouch and family. Wakrim is the chairman of Afriquia Gaz, Morocco’s leading liquid petroleum gas distributor and a subsidiary of the Akwa Group. He is also vice president of Akwa Group and serves on the board of Maghreb Oxygene, a chemical manufacturer.

Ahmed Ezz, an Egyptian steel tycoon, is the former chairman of Ezz Steel, one of the largest steel manufacturers in the Middle East. Even though he was forced to step down as chairman of Ezz Steel, his holding company Ezz Group is still a majority shareholder in the company. Ezz, who served as chairman of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s political party, was recently released from jail after spending three years on corruption charges. A spokesman for Ezz did not reply to requests for comment.

Hello All,

There is need to be careful when taking fruit juices (whatever the make – foreign or local).

Attached are pictures of the content of Chivita orange pineapple fruit juice which my wife opened some minutes ago and this is rather worrisome.

Ensure that you empty the content of fruit juices in a clear glass / cup before consuming same as I do know that some of us like drinking straight from the package/can/bottle.

Kindly share this with your friends / love ones.

Thanks.

tzetzefly: Suspend your travel date till six months time when your first and second semester exams would have been verified. This will show a long term commitment to your studies.

Thanks Chief and God bless you

tzetzefly: What is your purpose for visit and how well do you know this uncle of yours?
You will need a letter from your Head of Dept, transcripts from your admission office addressed to the US Mission sealed in an envelope with the school stamp across the flap.

To see his family especially his children, my cousins after a very long time and also get to know the US. There is no transcript yet as 1st semester exams is just going to begin October. Letter from the HOD? Can my acceptance and admission letter suffice. Or do I just reschedule the interview and get these docs in place as my interview is this Wednesday .
Please also advise I can't remember stating a travel date on the online application thanks

The MTV award-winning director of The Fugees' "Killing Me Softly" video was sentenced to 50 years in prison for sexual assault Friday (July 26), according to The NY Daily News. This will be added to a 40-year sentence Aswad Ayinde received more than a year ago for similar charges regarding the sexual abuse of his daughters.

Ayinde has been under investigation for raping his daughters and forcing them to have his children. The 55-year-old fathered six children with his daughters between the 1980s and early 2000s, performing the deliveries himself and burying children that didn't survive, according to the NY Daily News.

The 50-year prison term was given to Ayinde in a trial regarding the abuse of his now 35-year-old daughter. He was convicted of abusing her repeatedly from the time she was 8. 

“I can’t describe how much you hurt me and my sisters,” his daughter told Ayinde in court, according to NorthJersey.com.

Ayinde had nine children with his former wife Beverly and more with two other women in New York, according to court records. His former wife Beverly testified in a pre-trial hearing in 2010, saying that Ayinde believed the world was going to end. "He said the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen," she said in the hearing.

Prosecutors said that Ayinde hoped to have a "pure" bloodline. He molested five of his daughters and fathered six children with them, the family and their attorney said, according to NorthJersey.com. 

New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services faced scrutiny due to this case. Some of Ayinde's crimes were reportedly committed while the family was under investigation by the agency. Some of the crimes were also committed after Ayinde acknowledged that he tried to take his children from a hospital where they were being held when the state had temporary custody of them in the early 2000s. 

Ayinde beat the children using wooden boards and steel-toed boots, according to the NY Daily News report. Ayinde's former wife Beverly says fear kept her from speaking to authorities. "I was afraid to ever accuse him of being demented or being a pedophile," Beverly said in court in 2010. "I knew the word, but I wouldn't dare use it because it would result in a beating."

In order to avoid further investigations, Ayinde reportedly moved the family often, at one point spending time in an abandoned funeral home in New Jersey. 

When Ayinde moved to Brooklyn, he met and lived with Subhana Rahim, an attorney who reportedly lived with him from 2001 to 2004. Rahim says she discovered that Ayinde was abusing his children while she was pregnant with his child in 2002. "He was this successful artist who had worked with The Fugees," Rahim told the paper. "I was shocked when he told me they were his daughters and that he'd been sleeping with them...I didn't try to understand something so ridiculous."

During the trial that ended Friday, Superior Court Judge Raymond Reddin, spoke with Ayinde about his actions. 

“By 13, most fathers are taking their daughters to the park...teaching them to ride a bike,” he said, according to the NY Daily News. “You took her in the bedroom and repeatedly raped her to complete your disgusting, revolting fantasies.” 

After finding that Ayinde fathered other children with other women, his daughters contacted authorities in 2006. 

“We found out we had other siblings, young siblings, and we had to put him to a stop,” one of his daughters said after the sentencing hearing, as per NorthJersey.com. “Even though we were healing, they could still fall victim.”

One of Ayinde's daughters had four children with her father. Two have genetic illnesses, which doctors believe were likely related to incest. One of her children died in 2010 of spinal muscular atrophy. She was 9. 

Ayinde faces further investigation for abusing his other daughters and could face more prison time pending the results of future trials. He faces at least three more trials regarding the sexual abuse of his daughters.
