Celebrated film maker and actor Kunle
Afolayan has dropped heart stopping
posts on Facebook indicating that his
workaholic lifestyle may eventually
end his life. Kunle who is working round the clock
to meet the October 1 deadline of his
highly anticipated film “October 1″
took to Facebook to drop some of his
darkest thoughts. ‘My Obsession with filmmaking makes
me think I may not live long, I forbid it
though’. ‘I got back to Lagos yesternight (sic)
very tired and sleepy after 42days of
shoot, got home ate then went to bed.
All I see throughout my sleep are the
shots I took and those that I felt I
should have done differently. Woke up this morning and all I have in my
head is the deadline of the trailer
release which in October 1, 2013, in
about 11 days and the completion of
the whole project. Yes, am very
passionate about film making but I think being too obsessed is not
healthy. What do you guys think?’ Kunle battles to meet a treacherous
deadline too close for comfort with
fears the release date may have to be
shifted. Along side this all-consuming
film production, Kunle also plays lead
character in a new film ‘Dotun’ by ace film-maker Tunde Kelani. Fans have been pouring in advice on
Kunle’s facebook wall with a
passionate appeal for him to take
things easy. Please drop your advice
here as well. www.vanguardngr.com/2013/09/shocker-may-live-long-says-kunle-afolayan/

Nobody knows the next victim of this 'slump and die' dat is ravaging the world.Therefore,endeavor to visit a Doctor today and do a comprehensive medical check-up.

A former Governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Agagu, is dead. He was aged 65. Agagu, who returned from the US on Thursday, reportedly slumped in Ikoyi, where he was having a meeting with Ondo indigenes, on Friday evening. Agagu’s former Chief Press Secretary, Yemi Olowolabi, said the former governor was not sick and had just returned from a 20-day trip abroad. Olowolabi, who worked with him for more than four years, described his former boss as “a great man, a first- class intellectual and an astute administrator.” Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, described the death of his predecessor as shocking, adding that Ondo has lost a colossus, whose vacuum would be difficult to fill. Mimiko said, “He would be remembered as a consummate politician and lecturer, who imparted knowledge to many people across the world.” Former Governor of Ogun State, Segun Osoba, told Saturday PUNCH on telephone that Agagu was very respectful. He said, “I got to know him when he was deputy to former governor of old Ondo State, Bamidele Olomilua. He
carried himself with dignity. He was loyal to Olomilua during the days of the Social Democratic Party. Agagu should rest in peace.” In his reaction, former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, described Agagu’s death as shocking. He said, “It is sad. He came back from abroad yesterday with his wife. They were having a meeting with Ondo State people. Alex Akinyele was there. He slumped. It is shocking, devastating. We will all miss him. I can’t believe he will just die.” Agagu’s schoolmate at the University of Ibadan, Senator Olu Alabi, who is a former Governing Board Chairman, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, said, “We were together in UI. We co- funded United Nigerian Congress Party and the Peoples Democratic Party. I don’t know what to tell his wife, Funke.” Member, PDP Board of Trustees, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, said: “This is tragic news. I’m shattered. He never held grudges.” Director of Publicity, Ondo PDP, Mr Ayodele Fadaka, who broke down in tears over the phone, described the death of the late geologist as great loss to Ondo and Nigeria. It was gathered that he ate lunch at home in Ikoyi before heading for a meeting on Lagos mainland, where he slumped. Subsequently, he was rushed to a private hospital in Yaba but he was transferred to Military Hospital, Ikoyi, where he was pronounced dead. His corpse was still at the military hospital as at the time of filing this report. www.punchng.com/news/agagu-slumps-dies-at-65/

This topic needs be moved to the front page to enhance more contributions frm the Nairalanders.Adventists plea to govt to stop conducting elections on Saturdays cld be addressed thru public opinions.

Adufaye: Saturday!

The creator starts work on 1st(sunday) finish on the sixth day(friday) and rested on da 7th day(saturday)

How many christian dey rest on sunday(and dem go call am holy day) 80% will go flexing,10% will go 2 diff club,10% wil b on duty in work?

If judgement is to be based on the adherence to the 10 commandments,wht wld be the faith of those of us who worship on Sunday then?

In the Christianity world,majority of the christian followers worship on Sundays while very few christian faithfuls worship on Saturdays. On a serious note,which is the authentic Sabbath day btw Saturday and Sunday.The very few who worship on Saturdays are said to have based their arguement on the scripture;Exodus 20,8-11(4th commandment). '8 Remember the sabbath day, to
keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do
all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the
sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy
son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor
thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that
in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it.'

This is the beginnnig of the end of the party called PDP.Rest in perfect peace.The interment ceremony wil be anounced shortly.Adieu PDP!!!

Nigeria international will play for
Anfield giants Liverpool this season as
a loan deal has been agreed for the
winger. Both clubs finally agreed a £1m fee for
the season-long loan switch for the
Nigeria winger, according to the
Guardian of UK. Moses, signed by Chelsea from Wigan
Athletic last summer for £9m, has
slipped down the pecking order at
Stamford Bridge after the summer
arrivals of Willian and André Schürrle,
and Kevin De Bruyne’s return from his loan spell at Werder Bremen. Chelsea have accumulated a number
of players capable of operating from
attacking midfield and the 23-year-
old has been granted permission to
seek first-team football elsewhere. Brendan Rodgers had earmarked him
as a potential recruit earlier this
summer and, despite Chelsea’s initial
reluctance to loan the player to a
Premier League rival, the Liverpool
manager has now been given approval by the Europa League
winners to pursue the deal. Moses was in Prague on Friday for
Chelsea’s defeat to Bayern Munich in
the Super Cup final, in which he did
not feature, but has made clear his
desire to move to Merseyside – despite
interest from West Bromwich Albion, Southampton and Everton over the
course of the summer – and will
complete the move before Monday’s
transfer deadline with the loan fee
now agreed. www.vanguardngr.com/2013/09/liverpool-land-victor-moses/

Los Blancos have finally announced
the arrival of the Wales international,
who has usurped new team-mate
Cristiano Ronaldo as the game's most
expensive player Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur for a record-breaking €100 million. The Wales international succeeds new
team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo as the
game's most expensive player after
penning a six-year contract with the
Liga giants. Bale, who will be officially unveiled as
a Madrid player at a press conference
at 13:00CET on Monday, first came to
prominence as a 16-year-old with
Southampton before joining
Tottenham in 2007. The then full-back initially struggled at
White Hart Lane but he flourished after
being converted into a winger,
winning the PFA Players' Player of the
Year in 2010-11. Bale collected the same prize last year,
after scoring 26 goals in 44
appearances in all competitions. His fantastic form was not enough to
earn Spurs a place in the Champions
League but the 24-year-old will now
feature in the competition this season
after finally completing his drawn-out
move to Madrid. Indeed, the deal had been expected
to be completed last week but Spurs
refused to sanction the transfer until
replacements had been signed. However, after signing Erik Lamela and
Christian Eriksen, the English outfit
belatedly gave Bale's move the greenlight. www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2013/09/01/4213730/real-madrid-sign-bale-for-world-record-fee?ICID=HP_HN_1

Arsene Wenger has finally sighed someone.Details to come later.

ARSENE Wenger was left lamenting a
“huge, huge blow” as Arsenal were
beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa in their
opening home game of the Premier
League campaign. “It’s hugely disappointing to start the
championship with a defeat,” he said,
as he attempted to digest a growing
list of problems with the season one
game old. “We are there to spend money,” he
said. “People say: ‘Buy players, buy
players, buy players … ‘ But who? We
analyse every single player in the
world and work 24 hours a day for
that. We are serious about it. Until we buy players we have to win football
games.” Wenger was unhappy with the referee
Anthony Taylor “I didn’t like his
performance but more than his
performance I didn’t like his spirit of
how he refereed the game,” the
Arsenal manager said: “The linesman said he to me he did not give the
penalty and he was at the level of the
tackle, so why does the referee who
did not give the penalty straight away
suddenly give the penalty? That is
what is amazing to me.” Concerns stretch beyond an early
setback as Wenger counted the cost of
a series of new injuries. Kieran Gibbs,
Bacary Sagna, Alex Oxlade-
Chamberlain, Tomas Rosicky and
Aaron Ramsey are all nursing problems. “As well as to lose the
game, we have many injuries, many
kicks, many on the treatment table,”
Wenger said. “We have some trouble
to recover some players for
Wednesday night.” There is precious little time for Arsenal
to recover before their Champions
League qualifier against Fenerbahce.
They travel to Turkey on Tuesday. Villa beat Arsenal thanks to two
Christian Benteke goals and a late
breakaway goal from the debutant
Antonio Luna. Laurent Koscielny was
sent off. www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/wenger-people-say-buy-but-who/

The Barcelona star has praised the
match-winning quality of the
Portuguese forward, but says he is
only focused on matters at his own
club Barcelona star Lionel Messi has dismissed the notion that he and Real Madrid counterpart Cristiano Ronaldo share a rivalry. The two players have dominated the
individual awards in Spain and on the
continent in recent years and while the
Argentine has conceded that he is an
admirer of the 28-year-old, he says he
is focused on doing his job for the Blaugrana. "There is no rivalry [with Ronaldo] at
all," the 26-year-old told Maxim. "He's a good person and can change
any game. He does his thing and I'm
just focused on succeeding with
Barcelona." Messi was keen to stress that he
wanted to focus on his personal goals
and those of the club, with the
Catalans' ambitions still high after the
departure of Tito Vilanova. "We want to win titles in Spain and in
Europe this season," he continued. "It was sad how Tito had to go, but
now we are all with the new coach
[Tata Martino]. "It is no coincidence that the
Barcelona players keep low-profile
lives and have achieved success. We
know that we are footballers, not
movie stars. When we're not training
or playing, we are in home with our families." Barcelona begin their title defence on
Sunday against Levante at Camp Nou. www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4099/spain/2013/08/18/4195177/there-is-no-rivalry-with-ronaldo-insists-messi?ICID=HP_BN_10

DMainMan: Arsenal wil wipe Astonvilla ruthlessly like say tomorrow no de

afraid dat Arsenal will not give him first
team football.

What a loser. He doesnt want challenges.
I dont blame him for his fear as we ar too
talented.

What a consolatory comment!

The National Unity Project (NUP), which is a group dedicated to the re- election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 has made a startling revelation that the group of five Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s governors of northern extraction known as G5, which has been traversing the landscape of Nigeria are not actually opposed to the Jonathan being returned as President in the next general elections but are mainly interested in replacing NamadiSambo as the Vice President. This was disclosed yesterday by the Convener, Mr. Igwekala Ugomaduefule, who charged journalists to expose the real motives
of the five governors in the seeming opposition to the President's second term ambition. Ugomaduefule said the G5 that includes Governors RabiuKwankwaso of Kano State, AliyuWamakko of Sokoto state, SulehLamido of Jigawa State, Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State and MurtalaNyako of Adamawa had two missions, which were for one of them
to become Jonathan's running mate and to mount pressure on him to make mistakes. He however, advised the warring governors to perish that idea because according to him; "there is no vacancy for the position of the Vice President" or any chances of the Jonathan replacing Sambo as his running mate.
He noted that since the first Republic, no democratically elected Nigerian President had abandoned their Vice President as running mate during their second term bid, and that Jonathan must not be pressured to make such mistakes. His words: "I want to say that the so called four or five governors touring the nation in the name of Northern President or whatever is a ruse. There real missions are two; one they are seeking for the office of the Vice President, which I am here to tell you
that it is not vacant. It can never be vacant because it has never happened in the country. From the time of Tafawa Abubakar Belewa as the prime minister to the present, none of them has ever abandoned their vice presidents as running mate, it has never happened. www.thisdaylive.com/articles/2015-g5-governors-want-sambos-seat-says-pro-jonathan-group/156510/
