Fashola Warns Auto Dealers In Lagos

Governor  Fashola was recently on his way to an event when he passed through the Mobolaji Bank Anthony way and was not pleased with what some car dealers have turned part of the road into. He has warned them and the rest of auto dealers in the state to stop using part of the roads as their showrooms. He also spoke about people hawking in traffic and how they have made traffic worse, stating that Lagos is a mega city and we should also remember that staying more in traffic is not healthy. His words;

“We build roads to let us get to our businesses; our places of work quickly and to make movement easier.
“But some residents covert the roads to places they trade and as long as we continue to trade on them, we defeat the purpose for which they were built.

“As long as we turn our roads to shopping malls where everybody buys in traffic, we all pay the price because you all know that such causes stress and hypertension.

“Now, I see those who sell cars on Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way and other areas have turned sections of the highways into showrooms.

Cody Walker..."Please Let My Brother Rest In Peace"

A website report has the internet in a frenzy. NoDisInfo has reported that Paul Walker faked his own death and that his family is well aware of it.

They are all lying. Paul Walker didn’t die. Nor did Roger Rodas. They are both alive and well, and their relatives well know it, as can be repeatedly seen by both their behavior and facial expressions.

Open Letter To Organizers Of The "Headies Awards 2013" by Dj Timmy

Check out the below letter addressed to the Organizers of the Headies Awards by Dj Timmy, dude just aired his mind, what do you think?

Dear Headies 2013 Organizers;

Let me start by saying I am not just disappointed in you but u have just proved to us that Nigeria is not getting better any time soon. You have been manipulated by a greedy and hopeless telecommunications company (MTN) because they sponsored your event and you forgot the ultimate rule that awards are meant to be impartial and should be decided by the general public especially when u told us to vote. You distributed the awards among four MTN ambassadors (Iyanya, Davido, Praiz, and KCee) and just one Glo ambassador won (Waje). Is that not politics or is it coincidence? Now let us analyse.

OJB's Interview With Inspiration FM's Gloria Maduka

During an interview with Inspiration FM's Gloria Maduka post surgery, veteran music producer OJB Jezreel addressed controversy surrounding his donations, said celebs used it as competition and calls out Dbanj. Here's why he's unhappy with D'banj. During his fund raiser many months back, there were rumours that D'banj gave his former music producer N7m, a report that D'banj didn't deny. OJB says D'banj didn't give him a dime and was upset that he didn't try to set the record straight

"The most disappointing one for me is D'banj because he passed through my hands, he was trained under my tutelage. That is offensive. I don't care if you're with Kanye West, you can't forget your root. I won't call anybody else's name but I will call his because it hurts. His own hurts very deep. And he never tried to reach out to me. It's not like we parted on fighting terms.  He told me he had to go to London and he went. And when he came back it was Don Jazzy, and I said OK, that's fine. And what he did worked and I'm very proud of him, the love I had for him, that's why it hurts more. He should have come out to say no, I don't know why you people are saying all this, I didn't give OJB N7million, maybe a part of him felt embarrassed because at the end of the day, really, are you not supposed to do something?" OJB says during the interview
He also talked about how people used his fund raiser as competition and once again addresses the bounced cheques. Continue....

Flying Object Crashes Into a House In Ibadan

An unidentified flying object, which residents of Awotan in Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State called a “drone”, was reported to have crashed into a building at Omiremi Quarters in the community, leaving a crater on the roof of the building, just as aviation sources confirmed the object as a United States’ drone on an espionage mission in Nigeria.

Considering the registration number, TX 5803, inscribed on a black battery under the craft, a source said the spacecraft must have taken off from  NASA base in Texas in the US, stating that the battery attached to the spacecraft powered it and enabled it to move around so that it could do the bidding of those who sent it.

Though many aviation sources told Sunday Tribune that the object could be a device used in espionage, another source, however, believed that the craft was a “nondescript aviation device”.

Cardinal Anthony Okojie Responds To Chris Okotie

Retired Cardinal Anthony Okojie has reacted to Chris Okotie's remarks, saying all Catholics will go to hell because they worship Satan and are led by an anti-Christ Pope.

Cardinal Okojie said Okotie needs to watch what he says or he'll be disgraced, “It is always good to talk on what you know, not on what you do not know. The problem we have today is that a lot of people put their mouth in what does not concern them because they want people to know that they too are there; that they can be reckoned with.

“I don't think that is the way to do things, no. I think the best thing is to always put your mouth where God puts it, if you don't want to be disgraced.” Okojie said

Greed Of A Father And An Agent, The Kelechi Iheanacho Story

Our elders say that a dog destined to die ignores the whistle of the hunter while a hunter that chases two games at the same time may end up not catching any. That is the true position of Golden Eaglets hero Kelechi Iheanacho, his father James Iheanacho and his unnamed agent.

Since the player shot into limelight, his father and the agent in particular have displayed their hunger for money at the expense of the boy’s career which should be uppermost in their mind.

The young lad announced his arrival at the world stage the moment he netted four goals past Iraq in his match at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in the UAE last August. He ended up becoming the Most Valuable Player of the competition as well as the second highest goal scorer. Kelechi and his team-mates from the beginning of the competition to the end stunned the world with their mastery of the game making Nigerians to now see them as the future backbones of the new Eagles Stephen Keshi was helping to mould.

This prompted the NFF and the sports minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi announce that the boys would be groomed to becoming great materials for the senior national team by ensuring they don’t jump into wrong hands masquerading as agents of clubs around the world.

Oritsefemi Majemite,simply known as Oritse Femi took the music scene by storm when he released his hit tracks “Mercies of the Lord” and “Oleju” which enjoyed massive airplay and an evergreen status in the hearts of music lovers. Though he plays gospel, there is so much of dance-hall infusion into it that it cannot be ignored by a wide spectrum of the society. In this encounter with WG, the Delta State-born Itsekiri Femi, born and bred in Ajegunle, bares all on his journey from the shanty settlements of Ajegunle to the limelight. Excerpts:

How have you been surviving ?

It’s hardwork and most especially, you must be prolific and realise you must change as your environment changes. Presently, Afro Hip-hop rules the music industry. For instance, if you are a Fuji musician, Reggae star or a rapper, you must infuse Afro into it because it is what rules the scene now. This Afro is generated from Fela Anikulapo Kuti. If you listen to Fela Music, he usually sings with our local pidgin English which they call commercial. So, you must infuse that commercial and Hip-hop in it. So, I keep including that in my music.

Meet The Real Author Of The Movie Metrix

This little known story has met a just conclusion, as Sophia Stewart, African American author of The Matrix will finally receive her just due from the copyright infringement of her original work!!!

Celebrating Christmas Is Biblical Catholic Replies Kumuyi

The Deeper Life General Overseer, Pastor Kumuyi during their annual National December Convention, on Saturday, told his church members not to celebrate Christmas. In his words, he said,

“We don't celebrate Christmas. It actually came from idolatrous background. That is why you don’t hear us sing what they call Christmas carol, Never! We always say it is the Christmas retreat. We are only gathering together because it is the holiday period and love the lord more, and rededicate ourselves more."

Well, The Director of Social Communications, Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Monsignor Gabriel Osu, has replied him, saying that, celebrating Christmas is biblical and that is how it will remain. He also said that, Don’t Pastor Kumuyi’s celebrate him, so why shouldn’t we celebrate Jesus. His words;

“I don’t know what he means by saying the practice of celebrating Christmas is wrong. “Is he saying that Christ wasn’t born? That he didn’t come to die for us? Does he not celebrate his own birthday?
"Do Kumuyi’s pastors not celebrate him? It is not everything I react to; some people just seek attention. If Kumuyi is a Christian, then he must believe in Christ.

Get a Made In Nigeria Vehicle For N1.2m

In a bid to ensure the successful implementation of its recently approved National Automotive Industry Development Plan,the federal Government said it would encourage local auto manufacturers to produce less expensive models with price range of between N1.2m and N1.5m.

These are contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the NAC and obtained by our correspondent in Abuja.

The statement said, “Under market development, the NAIDP anticipated that higher-end expensive models will still be imported into the country in the initial stage, but the new strategy is to encourage local auto manufacturers to focus primarily on lower-end less expensive models with price range of between N1.2m and N1.5m; which is affordable to the middle class, coupled with other finance options.”

I Will Not React To Jonathan’s Reply – Obasanjo

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo today declined to make fresh reaction to the open letter sent to him by President Goodluck Jonathan, which was a response to Obasanjo’s earlier letter.

Obasanjo’s spokesman, Tunde Oladunjoye, told newsmen today at the hilltop residence of the former President in Abeokuta, capital of the western Nigerian state of Ogun that Obasanjo will not further trade words with Jonathan, nor dignify his letter with a fresh response. Chief Obasanjo in envisaging Jonathan’s response had clearly stated what his position will be: he will play mute.

Oladunjoye, the former PDP deputy governorship candidate during the 2011 governorship in the State, quoted Obasanjo’s position from his 2 December letter, titled, Before It is Too Late: where Obasanjo stated: “I will maintain my serenity, because by this letter I have done my duty to you as I have always done, to your government, to the party, PDP, and to our country, Nigeria”.

President Goodluck Jonathan Replies Obasanjo's Letter

We almost thought this will not happen, but better late than never, as the subject states, Before its too late, Jonathan Replies, see below his reply to Former President Obasanjo's letter.

December 20th 2013

His Excellency,
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR
Agbe L’Oba House, Quarry Road,
Ibara, Abeokuta.

RE: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

I wish to formally acknowledge your letter dated December 2, 2013 and other previous correspondence similar to it.

You will recall that all the letters were brought to me by hand. Although both of us discussed some of the issues in those letters, I had not, before now, seen the need for any formal reply since, to me, they contained advice from a former President to a serving President. Obviously, you felt differently because in your last letter, you complained about my not acknowledging or replying your previous letters.

It is with the greatest possible reluctance that I now write this reply. I am most uneasy about embarking on this unprecedented and unconventional form of open communication between me and a former leader of our country because I know that there are more acceptable and dignified means of doing so.
