babyosisi: Did Wole Soyinka go to the funeral of the man he called his friend because I haven't seen or heard of Him in all this news about the burial
were his recent rants about Chinua being called the father of African literature while the burial arrangement were being made a way of telling us he wouldn't be there?
Na so human beings dey?
Kai!
What a pity and a shame
His stocks have greatly depreciated in my eyes
The man a gba da go na anya m mehn!

Multiple award winning
entertainer, D’banj has put
plans in motion to shut
Lagos down with another
five-star concert, featuring
live appearances from some
of the finest stars from the
continent and beyond as he
marks his 33rd birthday
anniversary in grand style.
The MOBO and BET-winning
hit-maker says, he’s
throwing a big, spectacular
gig, at Eko Hotel in Lagos, on
Sunday, June 23, to launch
the debut DKM album, and
celebrate his recent
achievements with friends
and fans in Nigeria.

The hugely anticipated
concert will coincide with
D’Banj’s 33rd birthday, and
he said, last weekend that
fans can expect to catch
electrifying performances
from him and his friends,
including Fally Ipupa
(Democratic Republic of the
Congo), 2face Idibia, 2Chainz
(USA), Olamide and other
local and international big
names.
The big-budget concert will
also feature DB Records acts
KaySwitch, JSol, JSleek and
others.
’It’ll be my first time in
Nigeria and I can’t wait’,
2Chainz says in a video drop
released by D’Banj. ‘My
birthday is in September but
I’ll act like it’s my birthday’, he
adds jokingly. The rapper is
mostly known worldwide for
his mega hit ‘Birthday Song’
The June 23rd concert,
D’Banj says, will be the first in
a series of DKM concerts to
be staged in collaboration
with Ndani TV in Lagos and
other parts of the world.
‘We’ve done it all over the
world, with the support of
our fans everywhere’, said
D’banj who performed with
Snoop Lion at the MTV All
Stars Concert in Durban over
the weekend, in South
Africa. ‘I know Nigerians
have been yearning, and I
can’t wait for June 23 to
bring Lagos alive and treat
my friends to all the new
stuff we’ve been working
on.’

onatisi: good for them, her his eyes will open after he she cleans her his account

Despite the emergency rule and the deployment of over 3000 Joint Taks Force troops in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, some gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram sect yesterday shot dead provision store dealer, Mr. Bitrus Kwaji and his son (name witheld), while one child suspected to be Almajiri(destitute) was killed by a stray bullet in Chescon area of Federal low cost of the metropolis.

Our Correspondent gathered that the gunmen who ambushed the dealer at his residence around 6:30pm, successfully executed their mission and fled without being arrested.

A Neighbour and resident of the slain provision dealer who does not want his name mention in the print for security reasons told our Correspondent that “the gunmen upon arriving at the residence of Mr. Bitrus asked one Almajiri boy (destitute) to enter the house and told the provision dealer to come out as some people/customers were outside and wanted to buy things from the store, upon responding to the call, Mr. Bitrus, his son and the Almajiri boy were coming out to attend to their customers, not knowing that the people came for a different mission”

He said, as they approaches the store located at the frontage of the house, the gunmen opened fire and killed them including the boy they sent to call Mr. Bitrus.

Due to the total GSM network black out in Borno, the JTF Spokesman’s number, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa and the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Gideon Jubrin could not be reached for confirmation as at the time of going to press.

One person told Sky News: "As
you looked up you could just
see the flames being chucked
out of the engine ... It was on
full fire when we saw it."

The governing body had long
been looking for ways to make
the Europa League more
attractive and they are
confident that awarding the
winner a ticket for the top
competition will prompt teams
to take the tournament more
seriously.

Dygeasy: what if he was?

Freiburger: I guess the OP is also talking about political influence and not just the physical strength.

Turaki pleaded for help in this

the public or anyone with links to
the terrorists to initiate the
