Scientists history of evolutionary called human beings, who claimed to be in the image of Most High God, 'higher' animals, but while some knowledgeable people are proving them wrong some human beings are taking the form of 'lower' animals.
A lady was caught stealing at Shop-rite Mall in Lagos. What followed after she was caught is something that has now become commonplace.
She was lynched, stripped unclad, while abunch of horny b**tards proceeded tosexually manhandle her.
Viewers discretion advised please. Most of us are just getting tired of 'these men', these higher animals who have decided to put the law into their own hands. These samemen are the thieves atnight, loitering around shopping centres to smartly snatch your phones.
These men are the ones who will catch a thief first because they are experts in thegame and God help herif she is a female. The lady in question was caught stealing, so? What happened to our Police Stations? Some of us are tired of talking.
ALUU is everywhere. These sex hungry looking men will do anything to molest a young lady at the slightest provocation. They even went to the extent of inserting an iron object into her private part. How barbaric? Is that the punishment for stealing? Watch the video.
Tony Payne: 9ice breaks silence at last!
After his widely publicised break up with his ex- wife, Toni Payne, a few years ago, ‘Gongo Aso’ crooner, otherwise known as Nigerian hook man; 9ice, never ceased to be in the media for the wrong reason. Onetime, he was accused of havinga baby out of wedlock, and at another time was rumoured to havereconciled with Payne. But in this interview, 9ice addresses some of these controversies surrounding his career. He also speaks on his separation with former manager, Dehinde Fajan among other issues.
It’s been a while since we last heard from you. What’s happening to your career?
I believe I don’t have to stick to just music. For that reason, I’ve been involved in other projects. Of recent, I featured in a movie where Iplayed a major role and that tookus a lot of time.
I also travelled to shoot four of my videos in the UK. I’ll be releasing those videos as a compilation in a few weeks. I shot the video for my singles Attitude and 3310 from mylatest album, Bashorun Gaa. I also shot videos for Get Into It and Ike Kan.
What are those four videos all about?
Like I said, those videos will be released as a compilation and I titled them Obawon, Ikekan, Get Into It and I Dare You.
People have been asking the motive behind such songsand I told them that they’re meant for the festive period, forpeople who love to party.
The songs also help us to reflectupon those thingsthat happened in our lives all through the year.
The four singles are also meant to wet the appetites of the fans for mynext album coming out in March 15 next year. But before then, the Alapomeji All Star album will drop in December.
You are known to make statements with your songs. Are the new singles directed towards someone?
If you’ve noticed that for a while, I’ve been quiet in the industry. It’s not over until it’s over. So, we need to keep the brandgoing.
Obawon is meant to let people knowwho is 9ice. I wantto use the song toreframe my identity and privileges in the industry.
‘I Dare You’ is a phrase used by alot of Nigerians. So, I’m daring some people to say one or two things about me. I want reactions from people.
So what happens if the people eventually react?
Then I will react again by speakingout my mind.
*9ice
What are the concepts behind your new videos?
They are historical videos. I’ve realised that not everybody willunderstand what Imean by ‘Ike Kan’.So, the video explains what it means. Same applies for ‘Get into It’. The videoswere directed by Musa, the same guy who directed Wizkid and WandeCoal’s latest videos. We are releasing the fourvideos together as a compilation CD with a concert to accompany it.
What’s the concert all about?
The concert is meant to create publicity to our fans. We want to give them a taste of what we are about to release in the compilation,so they can go buy it. We believe the concert will goa long way in putting it in the mouth of people. Other Alapomeji artistes like Serikiand Alabi will be on ground to support me.
When is the concert coming up?
It will be in secondweek of Decemberbut no specific date yet. It will take place at CivicCenter. The concert is basically for industry people and the press as well. It will be strictly by invitation.
What is the title ofyour on-coming album?
My tradition is to release the title of my album long before it is released because I don’t believe in secrecy. I’m releasing a doublealbum like the lastone I did. One is ‘CNN’ while the other one is titled‘GRA’. Each is going to come with eight songs making a total number of16 songs. The full meaning of GRA is Galvanizing Right Ahead and the other one is Cancelling Numerous Negativity (CNN).
What inspired the two titles?
There has been a lot of negativity about me of late. So I’m using one to cancel all negative stories about me spread by my enemies. The other is a charge to move ahead no matter what have been said about me.
Apart from the new materials youare about to release, what are the other projectsyou are working on?
We are working onthe Alapomeji All Star album and that will be released next year.
How many artistesdo you have signed on to Alapomeji at the moment?
We have the likes of Seriki, Alabi, Kayefi and another one coming.
What’s happening with Kayefi’s album, fans are worried because they feel it shouldbe out by now. Why the delay?
The reason why her album is beingdelayed is because she just got married and she’s raising her kids too. We have to be considerate about her challenges until she is fit for production.
There is this rumour that you just joined a new record label known as Diesel Music, how true is it?
That’s not true. The owner of Diesel Music is a friend of mine. So,I was just helping him to promote his label, that’s all.
There’s been a lotof negative stories spread about you. How doyou react to them?
I don’t feel bad reading negative stories about myself. In fact, I enjoy them and long for more. Thefact that people talk about me means that I exist.In fact, both negative and positive stories work well for me. It depends on how you can cope with it, live with it,get over it and move on. Whoeveris having it negative now, should expect it positive later and whoever is havingit positive now, should expect it negative soon too. The most important thing is deal with it and get on with your life.
What actually went wrong between you and your former manager, Dehinde?
Something doesn’tneed to go wrong before two peopledecide to go their separate ways. There is always a point in someone’s life that you think youneed to move on. That was what happened. I still work with him .
You haven’t reacted to the story that your Abuja based loverhad a set of twins for you. Is it true?
I wish the press would verify their stories about me before publishing them. Nobody had any baby for me. That story is not true and I want to tell you that they are making it up.
*9ice & son Zion
Is it true that you and Tony Payne have reconciled and are back to your house at Magodo?
That story isn’t true. Tony Payne and I are still separated and notback together. That is the fact!
You recently featured in a movie titled Jejere, what was the experience like?
The truth is that I am no longer interested in featuring in anymore movie. That might be my first and the last outing. You sit down at home, watch them and criticize them but there’re so much more to it than what we see. Imagine shooting a movie for over a month and you are supposed to edit it to an hour. It’s much more difficult than we imagine.
How would you describe your experience on set?
I was there for about a week, in different locations. They shot in different cities and places. It was difficult, quite difficult and at the same time, very challenging. That is going to me my first and last movie except if I’m being offered a huge sum of money then, I can cancel other events for like two weeks fora movie shoot.
Weren’t you planning to shoot your own movie?
I was supposed to shoot my own movie but while working on ‘Jejere’ and I sawthe way is being done, I decided todrop that idea fornow. My intention was to shoot my own movie, which is suppose to recapture the true story of 9ice.
What is your opinion on the current state of the Nigerian musicindustry?
I think we are getting worst instead of getting better. What we dished out is not quality. What we have now is quite different from theway it all started. I would say it’s better we go backto the days of Plantashun Boiz.
What do we have now?
Do we even have song now? What we have now is the beat. Aside that, there is no content regulation.We have been saying that we should go back to the drawing board. The first thing is to get PMAN right. Once we get PMAN right with the artistes of this generationparticipating actively in PMAN activities, the body will be able to represent all the musicians andfight for our collective and individual rights.

You’re close to departure lounge, Obasanjo tells Ekwueme
Former President
Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday in Abuja told former Vice-President Alex
Ekwueme that he was already close to the departure lounge.
Obasanjo said this while congratulating the former vice-president on his 80th birthday.
By becoming an octogenarian, Obasanjo said Ekwueme should know he was becoming an old man.
Friends and well-wishers had elaborately marked Ekwueme’s birthday in Abuja and other major cities in the country.
Obasanjo spoke at the conference on Party Politics in Nigeria and Lobbying, the Lobbyist and the Legislature, organised by the National Institute for Legislative Studies.
Before Obasanjo spoke,
Senate President, David Mark; his Deputy Ike Ekweremadu, and the Deputy
Speaker of House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, had congratulated
Ekwueme on attaining 80.
Obasanjo, who shared one
of the sessions of the conference, later told Ekwueme that attaining 80
was a sign that he (Ekwueme) was moving to the departure lounge.
Obasanjo said, “The only
octogenarian on the high table, and I don’t think there is even another
person on the other side of the table, even in the hall (that is up to
80 years).
“My brother and friend,
and I think the Senate President regards you as a true democrat; I will
join the others in congratulating you on your recent crossing of the
bar.
“But let me just warn you that crossing the bar or becoming 80 something, you are getting nearer the departure lounge.
“I will get into the car park with you, but I won’t go into the departure lounge with you.”
His comments elicited laughter from the audience, including Ekwueme, who in a hushed tone, spoke with Obasanjo.
No one, however, heard what Ekwueme told the former president.
But Obasanjo replied him in pidgin, “As we come, na so we go go,” which literally means that those who came to the world first would be the first to die.
While Obasanjo was born on March 5, 1937, Ekwueme was born on October 21, 1932.

Former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku
| credits:
A former Commonwealth Secretary-General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, on Wednesday, said Nigeria made a “big mistake” by allowing the crisis over the ownership of the Bakassi Peninsula to be taken to the International Court of Justice.
Anyaoku made the observation at a lecture and book presentation of the Society for International Relations Awareness in Abuja
He said the wishes of the people of the Peninsula should have been allowed to determine where they chose to belong to.
Anyaoku cited the Falkland Islands, whichoriginally belonged to Argentina, but were ceded to the United Kingdom after the people determined thatthey wanted to be in the UK.
He also cited the case of the Rock of Gibraltar, which originally belonged to Spain, but became a legal part of the UK after a referendum by the people.
Anyaoku suggested that since Nigeria had lost out of the case, the next step was to intensify diplomatic dialogue with Cameroon, with a view to ensuring that the people of Bakassi wereadequately taken care of.
He said, “I think that this was what Nigeriansshould have done, but having failed to do that, I think Nigerians should live with the afterthought.
“And secondly, let government now look out for Nigerians in Bakassi, who have chosen to return to Nigeria.
“This should be the focal point of our policy on Bakassi.”
Anyaoku said the country was doing well with its foreign policy since President Goodluck Jonathan assumed power.
He said the policies had been “forcefully articulated” by the President and the Minister of Foreign affair, Ambassador Gbenga Ashiru
