The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Friday agreed a new deal with the coach of the Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi, after a meeting between his representatives and the NFF.

Source at the meeting told Channels Television that the agreement was reached after deliberations.

The source said that the discussion between the two parties went well, with a lot of maturity and mutual respect.

A formal pronouncement is expected in days.

It is not clear what the new deal is like, but the Super Eagles Coach had earlier termed the deal offered by the NFF as ‘a slave contract’.

Keshi is expected to submit a list of players to be invited for the friendly games against Bolivia and South Africa on Monday.

Stephen Keshi has been managing the Nigerian National Team since 2011.

WHO IS A POLITRICkTIAN?

Why do we fight for position of servanthood if truely the eminent positions in our society is purely to serve the people? (more like a practical servant).

I have never seen a person so placed on an esteem position going to fight for a post of a servant in practical sense, who are these politician decieving? I didn’t want to write about politics in any of my publications but temerity won’t rest my pen.

Dose aspiration to esteem position give you the inspiration to gather up thugs, extremist e.t.c to fight for you? (James 2 vs 16) and where do these politicians go after alot of showmanship during political campaigns? Lets face it, very few of Nigerian politicians want to give back to the society where they come from, greater percentage of them are after the money, if not money what will prompt a man to make so many promises at a time frame just to convince a great number of people (1 timothy 6 vs 10).

Some are so desperate of this power that they may not rest at a very advance age, while in preschool the kids will be singing “we are the leaders of tomorrow” how? when those who govern when our parents were kids are still aspiring for the same seat of power now, so i guess there are not anything like servanthood attached rather nepotism in most ramification even the least qualified is exaulted.

A society in which foul comments are made by the same highly placed individuals the same comment a common citizen won’t dare to make and we will be told that Nigeria belong to all of us. How true? during campaigns they dish out ridiculous manifestos so difficult for them to attain during their tenure after the have been elected the base in renoun part of the world not anymore in the atmosphere they polluted with lies and they believe Nigerians are fools.
Finally, my dear leaders provide the needed amenities for the poor Nigerian people and your stewardship won’t have so much question mark on earth and before God. God bless Nigeria.

Top Nigerian disc jockey and The Empire Mates Entertainment official disc jockey DJ Xclusive whose real name is Rotimi Alakija took to his Instagram page to share his excitement on buying a new Bentley which cost about N30M. The British born DJ who is the nephew of the wealthiest black woman Folorunsho Alakija.

Godswill Akpabio has said that before he became the governor of Akwa Ibom State there were moments in his life he used to eat from dustbins.

Akpabio’s shocking revelation is contained in one of the audio files secretly handed over, Monday, to Think Akwa Ibom! by a staff of Government House Uyo.

The governor was speaking in Eket during the inauguration of a hotel, Sonak, owned by his older brother, Isong Akpabio a former public affairs manager of Mobil Producing Nigeria. The exact date of the event is unknown, but it is obvious from Akpabio’s remarks that it happened early in the governor’s first term in office.

“I was on the street, struggling with other people to eat, sometimes from the dustbins,” Akpabio said with great energy and passion. The crowd could be heard from the background, laughing and cheering on the governor. “I knew that (my brother, Isong Akpabio) having worked in Mobil for a long time and Mobil provided the food, the car and everything for him.”

The governor’s brother, Isong, was among the numerous aspirants within the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in Akwa Ibom State who contested alongside Godswill Akpabio for the party’s governorship ticket in 2006.

“I felt I knew the people’s problem more than him (Isong Akpabio) that was why I told him wait for me, let me go first as governor,” Akpabio said, eliciting more laughter from the crowd.

“Yes, I knew the problems of the people. One of the major problems was that even your state capital did not look like a state capital. Another problem was that people were using your children as house-boys and house-helps. The third problem was that when you mentioned your name ‘Ekaette’, people looked down on you.

“So, we worked on those three things; your state capital is now the cynosure of all eyes, your children are now enjoying free and compulsory education, and now when you say you are from Akwa Ibom, people say, ‘oh, welcome and have a seat’”.

Governor Akpabio said he doubted if his brother, Isong would have ‘noticed’ the problems of the people if he were to be elected governor since he was so comfortable working in Mobil then.

He told the brother, “Now, after 2015, you can contest (as governor). They will vote for you, after seeing what you’ve done here”, apparently referring to the hotel that was scheduled for commissioning.

Akpabio boasted that by the time he finishes his tenure as governor that time will be divided into two – ‘before Akpabio and after Akpabio’.

He told the people in Eket that before he leaves office, he was going to build ‘a beautiful Sheraton’ hotel at the location where Qua River Hotel used to be and that his administration was soon going to remodel the city of Eket to look like Uyo.
Akpabio has just about three months to complete his tenure in office. There is nothing in Eket to show that he meant it when he said he was building ‘a beautiful Sheraton’ in Eket. The oil city is far from being a remodeled city as promised by the governor. Apart from a four-star hotel in Ikot Ekpene which is near completion, the only five-star hotel in the state is Ibom Le Meridien Hotel & Golf Resort built by Akpabio’s predecessor, Victor Attah. Another five-star hotel which would have been part of Governor Akpabio’s pet project, the Tropicana Entertainment Centre, has long been abandoned after gulping about N120 billion.

It is unclear how Akwa Ibom people will react to the governor’s revelation that he used to eat from dustbins while struggling in the streets. Although Akwa Ibom receives the highest monthly allocation from the Federation Account, sometimes as much as N27 billion in a month before oil price tumbled down, the state remains one of the poorest in the country. Most people in Akwa Ibom State believe that Akpabio manipulated the state economy in order to use hunger and poverty as a political tool against Ibibio which is the dominant ethnic group in the state.

On Tuesday March 2, the social media was thrown into pandemonium when pictures of top Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson and her first child, Purity, surfaced online aboard a local train enroute Ikeja from Iddo. There was so much outrage from her fans, many of whom felt the actress descended too low to take a train ride with common people. Some were even of the opinion that she may be getting broke.

But the mother of two has cast aside all the aspersions, saying she took the train only because she had to make an appointment in Ikeja after her Range Rover SUV broke down.

“I was around Iddo at Ebute Metta when my Range Rover developed a mechanical fault and I had to make a very important appointment in Ikeja, regardless of the usual traffic congestion in Lagos. Luckily, a member of my management team was around, he suggested a train ride and we were in Ikeja in less than 30 minutes”.

On taking a train ride with the so-called common people, the sexy actress said she is as ordinary person as the next person in the street.

“I grew up as an ordinary person among ordinary people. Why would I avoid them now? Would that be because I am now famous? Without these ordinary people, how would I have been famous in the first place? Without the so called ordinary people, where would Nigeria’s growing population of so-called well packaged celebrities be today?

FALSEHOOD IS OUTSIDE

Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo (aka Blackface,) a member of the now defunct Plantashun Boyz, the group that comprised Tuface Idibia, Faze and him is back on the block as he has just released a couple of singles with a promise to release a full length album entitled The Defender soon. He shares his stage experience today.

It has been quite a while, what has been happening to you?
I have been studying the music industry to know the kind of music people want and also to create a kind of scarcity for my brand of music so that people will yearn for it because it is a special kind of sound.

Can you remember the first time you performed on stage live?
That was during my secondary school days at St. Gabriels School in Makurdi and later, at the Institute of Management & Technology (IMT), Enugu. But with the Plantashun Boyz it was in 1998 when I met Tuface. I cannot remember the kind of show it was.

Did you panic?
The stage is a normal place for me. I am used to it because the more the crowd the better the show and the more excited I get. I am very energetic when it comes to stage performance.

Do you take any stimulant before going on stage?
Drugs? No. What I do is to memorise my lines via constant practice but I derive my energy from keeping fit by doing at least 20 laps of press-ups daily.

So what do you do on the day of a show?
I try as much as possible to do light exercise and stay away from people because the more you talk to people, the more you talk on top of your voice and that could crack your vocal chords.

What of brandy or weed?
Not really but when the weather is cold I could take a shot or two but that does not mean I can’t perform without taking brandy.

Any special food?
Well, heavy food in the night and light food in the morning and I eat a lot of cheese so as not to feel heavy.

How do you relate with your fans?
My fans are the best things to happen to me because when some people thought I was down and out, my fans kept on encouraging me, telling me to keep going on.

So what crazy thing has a male or female fan done to you?
My male fans want my shoes, my jeans, my caps and anything I am wearing. One crazy experience I remember was at the Naughty By Nature show during the Rothmans Groove in Lagos when fans bombarded the stage and were unstoppable; the security guys had a hectic time controlling them.

How about a female fan stripping for you or doing one crazy thing or the other?
I have been in the industry long enough to know when a fan wants to start getting weird so what I do is to control them. But during a show I did on Valentine Day, a very hefty lady jumped on the stage and before I could say Jackie Robinson, pounced on me! I still don’t know how she beat the watertight security. She was so heavy I went down immediately while she was so excited dancing on me. Stylishly I gathered some energy and stood up. I knew she was excited and wanted to show it because she did not harm me. I saw the excitement in her eyes; all she wanted was to get close and dance with me.
