NOTE: I BORROWED THIS INTERVIEW....IT WAS NOT CONDUCTED OR WRITTEN BY ME
In
the last few weeks, the world has seen the end of an era – the Mo’Hits
era, but not without a full dose of drama – more drama than in those
recycled South-American soap operas.
Drama backed with claims,
counter claims, responses, counter responses, exclusive interviews,
exposing facts and leaked E-mails. And if you think the drama is over,
you are hereby advised to grab a bowl of popcorn, snuggle up in your
couch and keep watching, because from the looks of it, this isn’t
ending soon.
If you’ve followed the Mo’Hits brouhaha – a la the
‘D’banj VS Don Jazzy messy fight’, you’ve either been entertained,
amused or downright irritated. Nevertheless, the drama continues with
both parties still not letting their guards down…
It’s been the
same old story for most persons with the title ‘Don’ in the mafia
movies – unparalleled rise to success, years of reign and respect but
then an ultimate crash. Name it – Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface,
Casino, Frank Lucas….it’s all the same. Is this the same fate of our
beloved Don Jazzy?
Don Jazzy was hardly the fan favourite back
then; sure, he was respected, but he wasn’t the one the fans clung to.
He barely spoke, letting D’banj do all the talking (and gesticulating).
Don Jazzy grew the persona of a real mafia don – you know, like the
ones in Sicily that head the cartel, always feared and respected, known
to bless careers with hits (songs) upon hits.
But when more and
more money rolled in, D’banj somewhat alienated himself from the fans
and media, leaving the ‘Don’ to take care of the multitude of fans. The
once ‘shy guy’ became very vocal on micro-blogging site Twitter, often
giving out airtime recharge cards, iPads and more gifts, even
organizing an online music competition which trended on social networks
for weeks.
Don Jazzy engaged the fans, positioned himself as an
accessible celeb, and a media darling. He even went as far as granting
radio and TV interviews, responding to E-mails, covering magazines and
delivering acceptance speeches at award shows. Don Jazzy became more
accessible; the one everybody could call on and be assured of prompt
response. When the heat came upon both men during the ‘Occupy Nigeria’
period, Don Jazzy once again cried out to his people, dissociating
himself from D’banj, who received brutal tongue lashings from Nigerians
home and abroad for seemingly evading the issue.
But last week,
the Don’s credibility was tested; his mystique torn apart, when D’banj,
in an elaborate interview with NET, accused his former label partner of
betraying him, leaving many of the producer’s loyal fans startled, and
perhaps revising where they should stand in the whole matter.
‘He
said to me in July last year ‘Let’s scatter Mohits. He told me there
are two captains – two captains cannot be in a ship. I was like ‘that’s
not possible, this is a marriage‘, D’banj said in the interview, among
other revealing things.
If it’s anything to go by, in just a few
days, the article received over 70,000 views on NET’s website, with
over 380 comments – most of them in support of D’banj. A surprising
twist of events, one might say…
‘I have lost all the respect I
had for Don Jazzy. Just because you are a good producer doesn’t make
you better than D’banj! D’banj fan for life!!!!!!!‘, Shade commented.
‘Following
your destiny is not the main thing, but are you sure you are following
it in the right path? D’banj, beware of those guys‘, Ifedayo also
commented.
‘This was a well conducted interview, honestly thumbs
up to the reporter. D’banj God bless you hustle, Don Jazzy…shame on
you! I don’t even need to hear any sides again, I could feel the
honesty in this interview’, another comment read.
Thousands of
fans across different blogs and social media are now praying for
D’banj, hailing him as a saviour of sorts for the local music industry.
Many are still asking valid questions about the break up; and of
course, there are loads of Don Jazzy loyalists who remain steadfast.
So
are D’banj’s fans back with him because the entertainer broke down his
side of the story by opening up on the matter? Or is it because he’s
gaining buzz in the UK and he seems to be flying the African flag
proud, while Don Jazzy seems to be on a never-ending hiatus?
The
questions are endless. Media analysts have exhausted their theories and
everyone is waiting with bated breath to see how the saga will unfold.
A
few days after the interview, former friend and music partner Abdul
Rasheed Bello better known as JJC (Skillz) chastised D’banj after the
latter stated that JJC cheated Don Jazzy. It got all messy again as JJC
who sheltered the likes of Jazzy, D’banj, Kween and the 419 Squad under
his Backbone Music label, opened another can of worms, claiming that
the Koko Master (whom he described as the group’s jester) never really
wrote his songs, and at a point, was wanted by the UK Police for credit
card theft.
While JJC felt bitter and hurt, spilling the beans to
Nigezie in a video interview, little did he know that the whole drama
would end up on one of the US biggest hip-hop websites Allhiphop.com.
The website soon published a flimsy article titled ‘G.O.O.D Music
Artists D’banj and Don Jazzy At Odds With Each Other; D’banj Accused Of
Credit Card Fraud!‘. More drama…
Ever since the famous interview,
Jazzy has kept mute, refusing to grant interviews, and tweeting only
thrice since then. But now the silence has been broken, albeit briefly,
and the Don has spoken…
In a very short but exclusive interview
via Blackberry Messenger on April 22, Don Jazzy answers some very
important questions and leaves many unanswered.
Did you leak the Mo’hits email?
No
Did you ask D’banj that you want to ‘scatter’ Mo’hits?
No
Have you signed any document relinquishing your shares in Koko holding, and giving D’banj his catalogue?
No
When was the last time you saw D’banj?
Not quite long
Will you still produce music for him, if he asks or not?
Yea
Why did you have to get a new apartment?
‘Pass’
Was D’banj ever told about the concluding part of the Samsung deal?
Why all these questions?
Bros, it’s a tough interview but it’s what our readers (and your fans) want to know.
Pass
Okay. Have you been producing music during the last few months? And who have you been working with in the studio?
‘Pass’
Dr
SID and Wande Coal have continually shown their love and bond for you
over everyone else; how do you feel about their respect for you?
I respect them also cos they are like my brothers
Will you start a fresh label in the nearest future or stick with the name Mo’Hits?
Pass
The
producer vehemently refused to have a sit down with us, despite
repeated requests (his response to an interview request via email: ‘I’m
so sorry but I am definitely not open for interviews for now. Doubt I
would be ready for one anytime soon too. Pls I would appreciate if you
can understand..).
Those close to him say he’s ‘not really
interested in saying anything’. One associate told us last week that
the producer has been busy working, and may be blessing fans with new
songs soon.
But the industry is getting tired of the drama. Not
only tired – many are hoping the estranged friends (and the camps
around them) will actually settle their differences and come back
together.
Long-time D’Banj and Don Jazzy associate Weird MC‘s
submission captures it all : ‘I still have hope that they will kiss and
make up. I strongly feel that way‘, she told us in an interview last
Wednesday.
It is possible.

Beyonce
has just been crowned 'the most beautiful woman in the world' and it's
not hard to see why, especially as the new mother has bounced back into
shape following the birth of her baby Blue Ivy in January.
The
30-year-old recently said that she doesn't have time to work out twice
a day, but her trainer Marco Borges has revealed how Beyonce managed to
get back beach-ready just a few months after welcoming her baby girl.
Beyonce
might not be killing herself twice a day by working up a sweat, but she
is working out five times a week, according to her trainer, who said,
“we do cardio and plyometric moves like lunges and jumps on and off a
bench.”
The 'Single Ladies' star also uses kettle bells to start
strengthening and toning her body, and she recently admitted that she's
"softer" now she's had a baby.
It's also about food, and as
Beyonce breastfed Blue Ivy for 10 weeks, she avoided processed foods
and tried to stick to vegetables and grilled meat.
"You don't have to eat only celery sticks," Marco told People. “Be sensible and exercise consistently.”
In
her interview, the 30-year-old said one of the most outrageous
pregnancy rumours would be “that I work out twice a day. Absolutely
not: I’m a new mother; I don’t have time for that. And no, I don’t have
a trainer living with me.”
Beyonce has certainly done well to get
herself back in shape, although she was hardly a beached whale. She was
glowing throughout her pregnancy and we're happy to see her curves
springing back nicely.
Cute Couple Alert: Beyonce and Jay-Z Step Out...
Yvonne
Okoro is usually perceived to be a very quiet and reserved actress back
in Ghana where she is based by her admirers. But this was not the case
last Sunday when she came out of her shells to show the other side of
her life.
Like a lioness, the “4Play” actress stormed the just concluded 8th edition of African Movie Academy Awards
Yvonne Okoro
(AMAA),showing
the world that she is not only sexy and hot as any other celebrity,
but that, she has got it and need to flaunt it.
Well endowed
with heavy ‘milk bags’, Yvonne was the cynosure of attraction as she
shocked everybody on the red carpet when she stepped out in a black
straight open-chest gown giving a full cleavage view.
She
decided to let her bare chest do all the talking and attention
grabbing…Yvonne was one of the nominees for the top award for ‘Best
Actress In Leading Role’ with the movie ‘Single Six’ alongside Nigerian
actresses Nse Ikpe Etim, Rita Dominic, Uche Jombo, Millicent Makheido,
Kudzai Sevenzo-Nyarai and her Ghanaian colleague Ama K. Abebrese in the
same category.
Despite the fact that she did not win the award,
Yvonne’s ravishing outlook endeared her to many people who crowned her
as the queen of the night.
The actress who holds a Bachelor of
Arts in English and Linguistics from the University of Ghana, Legon,
started her acting career in 2002, with the movie ‘Sticking to the
Promise’, produced by Theo Akatugba.
American
writer, producer and comedian Martin Lawrence has filed a divorce with
his wife Shamicka due to ‘irreconcilable differences.’
The ‘Big
Momma’s House‘ producer submitted the documents in Los Angeles County
Superior court in April 25, 2012, a day after they announced their
separation.
Martin and his wife got married on
July 10, 2010 in their Beverly Hills home, but were together for 15
years prior to the marriage.
Martin and Shamicka have two children; 11 year old Iyanna, and 9-year-old Amara Trinity.
According to TMZ.com, Martin wants joint physical and legal custody of the kids.
According
to Lawrence’s representative, ‘Martin and Shamicka Lawrence have
decided to divorce. The couple has made the joint decision to part
ways‘.
They released a joint statement, saying: ‘Out of love and
respect for one another, we will continue to remain friends and raise
our two beautiful daughters together.’
The screen star recently completed a nationwide sold-out comedy tour and a comedy pilot for the CBS Network.
Nollywood ‘bad boy’ Jim Iyke and actress Ini Edo have both covered this month’s edition of REDsheet Magazine.
The
double cover edition sees Jim Iyke share in words and pictures, his
acquired wealth and lifestyle while Ini Edo talks about her marriage
and acting career.
Months
after singer Omawunmi released her stunning new single which she titled
Bottom Belle where she duet current wave making Afro centric act
Flavour,the story reaching us has it that once upon a time popular
Ajegunle act, called Xperience Oligbese now based in Edo State capital
Benin City, has threatened to drag the song diva Omawunmi to law court
for what he termed copyright breach.
The handsome seven
footer,popularly known for his trademark Oligbese for sale told us that
Omawunmi lifted some lines from his song he titled Do Something which
is contained in the album he titled Givam Chance,released sometime in
early 2004 and was produced by Nelson Brown for Progressive Sound Park
a Lagos based Recording company.
The Delta State born Dancehall
act said before Omawunmi recorded her song we have met several times at
shows,where I performed my songs in her presence and the only thing she
told me was that she loves my style of song but she never told me that
she was planning to lift some lines from my song titled “Do Something”
until in February this year when the label owner that released my album
called me to ask why I allowed Omawunmi to lift some lines from my song
without permission or credit to me and I was surprised.
Even till last week I have been trying to call her but she refused to pick my calls.
Oligbese
further lamented that the line lifted was his brain child where he
sings brother do something,Kpamurege,sister so something kpamurege
On
what he was planning to do next the singer said that he had since
consulted his legal advisers who are now preparing to sue Omawunmi and
her Recording company for copyright infringement.
Oligbese further told us that he is seeking for N50million as compensation for tampering with his intellectual property rights.
Meanwhile
we gathered that a Lagos based fire spitting lawyer who was for years a
Deputy head of chambers in the late Gani Fawehinmi law firm is the one
handling the case.
International judges have found former Liberian leader Charles Taylor guilty of aiding and abetting war crimes during the Sierra Leone civil war.Taylor, 64, has been on trial in The Hague at a UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone for almost five years.
He was accused of backing rebels who killed tens of thousands during Sierra Leone’s 1991-2002 civil war.
Taylor was convicted of 11 counts including terror, murder and rape – but cleared of ordering the crimes.
Taylor is the first former head of state convicted by an international court since the Nuremburg military tribunal of Nazis after World War II.
Human rights groups described the judgement as historic.”This is an incredibly significant decision,” Elise Keppler from the campaign group Human Rights Watch told the BBC.
Rights group Amnesty International said the verdict sent an important message to all high-ranking state officials.
“While today’s conviction brings some measure of justice to the people of Sierra Leone, Taylor and the others sentenced by the Special Court are just the tip of the iceberg,” the group’s Brima Abdulai Sheriff said in a statement.
Chief prosecutor Brenda Hollis told the BBC that those responsible for atrocities “can no longer feel safe that they can hide behind important positions of authority”.
Reading out the verdict in The Hague, Judge Richard Lussick said Taylor had been found guilty beyond reasonable doubt in connection with 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Those included terror, murder, rape, and conscripting child soldiers, he added.
Judge Lussick said that as Liberian leader, Taylor had extended “sustained and significant” support to the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
The judge said the accused had sold diamonds and bought weapons on behalf of the RUF – and knew the rebels were committing crimes.
But Judge Lussick added that this support fell short of effective command and control over the rebels.
“The trial chamber finds the accused cannot be held responsible for ordering the crimes,” he said.
He also said the prosecution had failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Taylor was part of a joint criminal enterprise.
A sentence hearing will be held on 16 May, with the sentence to be handed down on 30 May, he added.
Taylor is expected to serve his sentence in a British prison as the Dutch government only agreed to host the trial if any ensuing jail term was served in another country.
Mr Taylor, a warlord in the 1980s and early 1990s, was elected president of Liberia in 1997 following a peace deal than ended a brutal civil war.
He governed for six years before being forced into exile in Nigeria following a second conflict.
In 2006 he was arrested, repatriated to Liberia and eventually sent to The Hague to be tried.
Lizzie Velasquez weighs just four stone and has almost zero per cent body fat but she is not anorexic.In fact, the 21-year-old from Austin, Texas, must eat every 15 minutes to stay healthy.
Miss Velasquez has a rare condition which prevents her from gaining weight even though she eats up to 60 small meals a day.Despite consuming between 5,000 and 8,000 calories daily, the communications student, has never tipped over 4st 3lbs.”I weigh myself regularly and if I gain even one pound I get really excited,” said 5ft 2 ins Miss Velasquez, who wears size triple zero clothes.
“I eat every 15-20 minutes to keep my energy levels up.
“I eat small portions of crisps, sweets, chocolate, pizza, chicken, cake, doughnuts, ice cream, noodles and pop tarts all day long, so I get pretty upset when people accuse me of being anorexic.”
She was born four weeks prematurely weighing just 2lb 10oz. Doctors found there was minimal amniotic fluid protecting her in the womb.
“They told us they had no idea how she could have survived,” said Miss Velasquez’s mother Rita, 45, a church secretary.
Doctors speculated Lizzie might have the genetic disorder De Barsy syndrome but soon ruled it out as it became clear she did not have learning difficulties.
“They kept on trying to figure out what was wrong with her but we treated her like any other child,” said Mrs Velasquez, who charted her daughter’s health in dozens of notebooks.
She was taken to see genetic experts but they still could not diagnose her.
Miss Velasquez’s case has fascinated doctors all over the world and she is part of a genetic study run by Professor Abhimanyu Garg, MD, at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Professor Garg and his team now believe Lizzie may have a form of Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome (NPS) which causes accelerated ageing, fat loss from the face and body, and tissue degeneration. People with PRS often have triangular and prematurely aged faces with a pointy nose.
He said: “I am aware of a small number of people that have similar conditions to Lizzie but each case is slightly different.
“We cannot predict what will happen to Lizzie in the future as the medical community are yet to document older people with NPS.
“However Lizzie is lucky to have healthy teeth, organs and bones so the outlook is good. We will continue to study her case and learn from her.”
Miss Valasquez has helped to write a book about her incredible experiences. It is due to be released in september.
It was time for dinner and the setting was the restaurant of a hotel on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa, where journalists from some African countries had converged for the test-drive of the new Land Rover Discovery 4. Then walked in a well built, long hair lady with a deep voice.
The Zimbabwean, Fact Dizira Jeke, had hardly sat down when her presence changed the course of what was hitherto a discordant chat, as almost all the Nigerians at the large table felt she looked like someone back home – the Nollywood actress, Ini Edo.
She admitted that she had been told many times that she looks like the Nigerian lady, and went on to recall her experiences in far away Hong-Kong and in her country, where she has been mobbed by autograph-seeking fans of Ini Edo who mistook her for the actress.
But seriously, "make una help me judge this mata, shey this babe resemble Ini Edo at all?"
Peter Okoye “Psquare” chillin out with his son at home.
Peter of P-square seems really fond of his little boy as every now and then lovely pics of them spring up showing them in either matching attires or striking wonderful poses.
I think it is safe to say that Peter has one of the cutest sons ever....and my goodness, does the little guy have swag or what?!.... hehehehe.
The star, who welcomed baby Blue Ivy on January 7, adds: ‘The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy.
‘The word ‘love’ means something completely different now.’
Beyonce also revealed how breast-feeding her little one for ten weeks helped her lose ‘the bulk’ of her pregnancy weight, but that she’s now on a strict-protein based diet.
And the glamorous star admits that being a mother has convinced her to try wearing flat shoes, something she’s enjoying.
She said: ‘I never thought there would be a day when I wouldn’t wear heels.
Before adding: ‘Now that I have a child, I walk around holding her all day, I’m buying loafers and oxfords. I love the, because they’re comfortable, and shorter heels too.’
The singer wears a white tulle confection for the front cover shot, with an elaborate blue necklace.
She tops a list of ten most beautiful stars nominated by the magazine, and other categories including ‘beauty at every age’ and ‘stunning stars’.

Whitney Houston tragically passed away just over two months ago, but the singer-actress is going to light up the silver screen one final time.
On Thursday, a new movie poster for Sparkle, a reboot of the 1976 film, was released. In the film, Houston, who was 48 at the time of her death, plays the mother of three girls who form a singing group.
Although the close-up of Houston's face is radiant, it's Jordin Sparks who shines front and center on the poster.
Houston told Access Hollywood last year that she took on a motherly role towards Sparks, 22.
"I can remember doing The Bodyguard, my first movie, and I was petrified," she said. "I just know that there's some time of trepidation and some nervousness…But Jordan has it down. Trust me."
The late singer said she'd give Sparks "mommy hugs" because "the vibe we set behind the scenes is what you'll see on the screen. That's what's really important."
Houston's real-life daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is set to make her acting debut in Tyler Perry's upcoming sitcom. Sparkle opens nationwide Aug. 17.
Live picture of the ThisDay Building bomb blast published by MCMrLucas on Twitter
TAGS: Africa, Terrorism, Mass media, Blast
Bombs targeting the offices of a major Nigerian newspaper have gone off in the capital Abuja and the northern city of Kaduna. Emergency officials say at least six people were killed in the twin attacks.
A spokesman for the Nigerian Red Cross said a suicide bomber crashed through the front gates of the ThisDay office in Abuja in an explosive-laden vehicle and hit the newspaper’s reception area.
The chairman of the This Day editorial board Olusogen Adeniyi told Reuters reports at least three people were killed in the blast.
"The suicide bomber came in a jeep and rammed a vehicle into the gate," Olusogen said."Two of our security men died, and the obviously suicide bomber died too."
Government officials say they are trying to get the wounded to hospital. Five members of the newspaper's staff were also reportedly injured.
Three people were also reportedly killed when an explosion rocked the paper's office in the strife-ridden northern city of Kaduna.
A car loaded with explosives also attempted to target the office in Kaduna, though eyewitnesses report that people working at the newspaper quickly surrounded the vehicle.
Jemilu Abdullahi told AP the driver began shouting there was a bomb inside the car. Upon being allowed to open the trunk, the driver took a device and lobbed it at the crowd, which exploded, Abdullahi said. He also claims at least three died in the attack.
Adeniyi said he had received information on a potential bomb terrorist attack back in January and reported it to security agencies. However, he did not realize ThisDay was specifically being targeted.
The newspaper is known for its support of current President Goodluck Jonathan, a primary target for the Islamist Boko Haram movement. While the group has been held responsible for some 900 deaths over the past two years, no one has claimed responsibility for Thursday’s attacks.

Death by Embracing the Reflection of the Moon
Chinese poet Li Po (701-706) is regarded as one of the two greatest poets in China’s literary history. He was well known for his love of liquor and often spouted his greatest poems while drunk.
One night, Li Po fell from his boat and drowned in the Yangtze River while trying to embrace the reflection of the moon in the water.
Death by Beard
Austrian Hans Steininger was famous for having the world’s longest beard (it was 4.5 feet or nearly 1.4 m long) and for dying because of it.
One day in 1567, there was a fire in town and in his haste Hans forgot to roll up his beard. He accidentally stepped on his beard, lost balance, stumbled, broke his neck and died!
Death by Orange Peel
Bobby Leach [wiki] wasn’t afraid to court death: in 1911, he was the second person in the world to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. The daredevil went on to perform many other death-defying stunts, so his death is especially ironic.
One day while walking down a street in New Zealand, Leach slipped on a piece of orange peel. He broke his leg so badly it had to be amputated. Leach died due to complications that developed afterwards.
Death by Scarf
“Mother of modern dance” Isadora Duncan [wiki] was killed in 1927 by her trademark scarf she loved to wear: As the New York Times noted in its obituary of the dancer on 15 September 1927, “The automobile was going at full speed when the scarf of strong silk began winding around the wheel and with terrific force dragged Miss Duncan, around whom it was securely wrapped, bodily over the side of the car, precipitating her with violence against the cobblestone street. She was dragged for several yards before the chauffeur halted, attracted by her cries in the street. Medical aid was summoned, but it was stated that she had been strangled and killed instantly.”
LMAO....THESE DEATHS ARE FUNNY BUT TRUE....FOR MORE OF THESE STRANGE STORIES, KEEP CHECKING ALISA EMMA'S BLOG.....:*
it is no longer news that Nigeria's no1 eligible celebrity bachelor, Chidi Mokeme is set to get married this weekend. The wedding is definitely going to be on the lips of many for a very long time.
Attendance of course is strictly by invitation to avoid the appearance of unwanted surprises. IVs were sent out to the guest and my humble self also got one... :)
just looking at the IV alone, one can tell that the wedding will be nothing short of excellence and class. the IV was is form of an ancient royal scrolls and it was indeed delivered in a royal way.
the scroll portrayed the couple's choice colour for the wedding which is Gold and Burgundy which is also the dress code of the wedding.
The IV only admits one person and gives no specification for a Plus 1. too bad, I could have picked one f u guys my wonderful readers to go with me to this grand occasion, but never-the-less, i will bring you the full gist of all that happened and you wouldn't miss any action...except the rice sha...tehehehehehehe
Anyway, the IV is a Craft worth emulating, and i think i just might do just that when my turn comes... ;)
Bishop OyedepoThe popular pastor and founder of the Living Faith Christian Church International also known as Winners’ Chapel is being sued for N2b for slapping a young girl last year during a church service.
Premium Times reports that the law suit is coming from a Lagos based lawyer Robert Igbinedion who said he filed the suit on behalf of the young lady, at the Ogun State High Court ‘for the enforcement of the lady’s fundamental rights to freedom from inhuman and degrading treatment, human dignity, fair hearing, and freedom from discrimination.’
Igbinedion, who is a solicitor at Salus Populi Chambers, and represented the victims of the celebrated Pastor Emeka Ezeugo (aka Reverend King) in 2006 is seeking an award of N2b as ‘general and exemplary damages’ against Oyedepo.’
‘If a wrong is done to the young lady, she is bound to receive justice for that wrong. The respondent ( Oyedepo) made the alter call for witches to come out, he did not make a similar call for other categories of sinners like illicit drug dealers, contract inflators, fraudsters, adulterers, and fornicators in the church‘, Igbinedion explained.
In the suit, Igbinedion said that the young lady, while answering an ‘illegal’ alter call, was trying to explain herself when the pastor gave her ‘a dirty and thunderous slap.’
In December 2011, a video of Oyedepo slapping a teenage girl during church service for saying she is ‘a witch for Jesus’ appeared on video sharing website YouTube and soon went viral accumulating over 69,000 views.
Days later, another video appeared on YouTube with Oyedepo saying, ‘People now complain on the Internet that I slapped a witch. If I see another one, I’ll slap.’
The 24 years old Sayo Akinyemi, was an apprentice in an aluminum-smelting workshop at Oke-Ado area of Ibadan is dead. His target was to raise money to fund his education. As the only male child out of the three children in his family. Sayo was killed recently by a land speculator for defecating on the latter’s family land in the area. The incident happened on Wednesday March 4.
The deceased had, on the fateful day, gone to the premises of Methodist Grammar School, Oke-Ado, to defecate. That was where he allegedly met his untimely death in the hands of one Olabode (other name withheld), a land speculator in the area. Olabode, had reportedly accosted Sayo and asked him to pay for using the school land as a toilet, a demand the latter reportedly rebuffed, arguing that the land in question was owned by the government. The argument resulted in a fight in which the late Sayo overpowered and defeated his challenger. But Olabode reportedly rushed from the scene to get a screwdriver with which he allegedly stabbed Sayo in the waist.
Sayo was immediately rushed to two different hospitals before he was admitted at the Catholic Hospital, Eleta in Ibadan. He, however, died before he could be treated.
The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Olabisi Okuwobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, while confirming the incident, said Olabode would soon be charged to court for murder by the state police command
Today is a very special day for my friend Chinedu and i want to use this medium to wish him a wonderful and fun filled day.
Of course the usual thing for bb users is to use the picture of the celebrant as the display picture for the day. well, that's what i did; i didn't know i would be causing "wahala" for myself oh. my phone kept on buzzing as people on my contact kept asking questions about who the guy in my "DP" is.
I got questions like "is he a model?"
And of course i got comments from looootttttsss of ladies..."whew" comments like "he's so cute" "he's sexy" "oh, can i have his pin" "tell him I'm tripping" "his dreads tho...i love it"....and they went on and on and on... rme
The guys where not silent. Their major concern was to find out if he is my boo (lol) while some just expressed jealousy. But the weirdest comment i received from a guy was "he is so pretty" O_O... and i was like "huh?...u gay?" (lmao)
Anyway, enough talks, the main point is, today is his birthday and i wanna say A very big happy birthday to one of the sexiest guys i know, Chinedu (SexyManDem) hahahaha....have a blast darling :*
‘He is a liar, a cheat, I won’t be unfair if I call him a
bastard, in fact there are no words that best describes bode, ah! In fact bode
God punish you; you will ever live to regret what you have done to me, ah aah!
In fact all men are the same, animals, fools, wolfs in sheep clothing, I have
made up my mind, I will never ever ever! Love again’ Sonia yells as she sobs,
her heart has just been smashed once again by bode.
After countless
heart breaks, Sonia felt she had found the man of her dream in bode, a man who
she had dated for seven whole years, a man who promised her marriage, love care
and attention, a man whom she believed in, a man who promised her the world, a
man who to her, her life depended on. Where would she begin you might ask, how
would she pick up the pieces of what’s left of her life, can she ever love
again? Well surprisingly she sure can regardless of the number of
disappointment she may have gone through. Although most women think this is
impossible because she may have learned to hate, but believe you me she would
love again.
I am a woman and I have
experienced heart break, I know how it feels. When I was heart broken, I felt
lost, empty and hopeless, I felt my life had lost its meaning and there was
nothing to live for, my constant prayer point was for my heavenly father to
take my life and give it to someone else who needed it because I felt I didn’t
need to breath any longer and when He didn’t respond, I thought of suicide, I
wept day and night without food and without sleep, I suffered from constant
headache because of how long I have been crying. When my friends and relatives
came around me to console me, telling me how what happened was for the best and
advised me to move on, I wailed the more and refused to accept it. The common
statement was ‘stop crying, no man is worth your tears, especially him, forget
him, God will give you someone better’ these words tore me to pieces, forget
him? How? I can’t, that’s impossible, I love him, he is worth every single tear
dropping from my eyes and there can never be anyone better than him, I want him
and only him, I said as I continued to sob and when my mom hugged me to console
me, I slumped and fainted, I woke up in the hospital two days later. You may be
wondering,’ all these for what, for a man’ but you wouldn’t ask that if you
have ever been truly in love. But was I ever able to love again? I will tell
you about that later.
However, Most women are familiar with the saying; “all men
are the same” even our dear Sonia said it during her moment of rage, as a
matter of fact, most women feel wise when they say it and so they tell it very
often. Most of the women that have this perception about men are those who have
suffered heartbreak or maltreatment from the men they have come across or
gotten involved with and this ordeal makes them believe in these words. We all
have stories to back this up and most of the stories are so similar you would
think they were done by the same man. I am not here to defend men but from
personal experience and several research interviews I have conducted to get the
personal opinion of certain people, I have uncovered that all men are actually
not the same as some ladies think. Men are copious and their drives are
different; those ladies that say all men are the same are merely expressing
their own opinion and should not establish it as a fact. You cannot write away
individual differences just because you met 10 men that you feel acted alike.
In conclusion, there are good men and there are bad men, just
like there are good ladies and bad ladies-because we are all imperfect humans capable
of making mistakes and not supreme beings who have no bad side. There are men
who know how to love and show love and there are men who don’t. Ladies just
because you keep coming across the bad ones doesn’t mean all men are bad and if
you keep attracting the bad ones, you need to sit down and ask yourself why,
there must be something you are doing wrong that repels the good men and
attracts the bad ones, or something that turns the once upon a time good man
into an animal as you now call him (just like the case of bode and Sonia, she
once felt he was her all in all but after the break up, he became an animal). Maybe
it’s in your character or physical traits; like the way you dress or something,
just ask yourself questions and also seek the opinion of others around you.
Besides even if 95% of men are bad, you shouldn’t draw on it to judge the
remaining five percent by saying ‘all men are bad’. As for me, I have not found
my Mr right yet but I have learned to love again and don’t fret my dear
readers, when I find him, you will most certainly be the first to know (laughs).
I leave you with this; for those ladies in a serious relationship, treat your
man right. Sometimes ladies are actually the cause of their relationship
problems due to bad character, they end up chasing their man away and then
blaming him for leaving, but my dears, every man wants peace as much as every
lady wants love and attention so be wise. And for those single searching
ladies, look before you leap don’t just jump into the arms of any man that
waves at you, be careful and be certain that the both of you are compatible and
if you have 10 things that make up your ideal man and you find a man with eight
out of 10, he tried, accept him don’t wait till you find a man with 10 out of
10, remember, there is no such thing as a perfect man.
This was sent to my mail box by an anonymous lady. She asked for my opinion about her case and after reading her short complain, i decide to get a public view on the matter....please read and leave your contribution in the column for comments.....she is waiting for our replies.
Whenever I refuse him my salary, he says I don't
love him
I'm a 27 year old doctor dating one engineer. I got a job where he works
and he gave me a room to stay.
Here with him now, I discovered
that he lied to me about things, including his salary. He doesn't have
money for feeding and he's broke every month end.
He borrows
from me and takes my money in my absence without paying back. He just
told me he lost his job five months but that he didn't know how to tell
me. He depends on my salary to foot his bills. Whenever I refuse he says
I don't love him.
