YOU MUST GRADUATE and HAVE A DEGREE:DAVIDO FATHER TELLS HIS SON

hey say the biggest legacy a parent can leave for his/her children is education. Every parent no matter the circumstances strives hard to live up to that statement and so is Nigerian billionaire businessman Deji Adeleke who seems hell bent on seeing one of his sons David ‘Davido’ Adeleke attending and graduating from University like every other child. The last two years have been a handful for Davido – he didn’t just make a very successful debut in the Nigerian music scene but accelerated to the A-list spot, something that has taken other A-listers years to achieve. He’s released a debut album with chart topping singles, won international awards and performed in and out of the country, what else could he ask for? Well, Davido isn’t doing the asking, his father is; more like demanding. NET sources say Mr Adeleke wants his son to enrol in a University and graduate with a degree. And to make that happen, he has reportedly built an entire department at Babcock Uni

POPE FINALLY STEP DOWN

As Pope Benedict XVI finally bows out, in the next few hours, one of the cardinals that would elect the new Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and Head of the Abuja Ecclesiastical Province of the Church, His Eminence John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has declared that the election of a new Pope would be strictly based on the canon laws and the will of God and devoid of any other consideration. Cardinal Onaiyekan stated this in a sermon at a Thanksgiving Mass and Reception organised for him by his alma mater and Old Boys of Mount St. Michael’s Secondary School, Aliade in Benue State. Taking his reading from the book of Matthew 16:13-19 he said “We (Cardinals) will follow laid down canon laws when we go to the conclave to elect a new Pope for the church”. “Cardinals will be directed by the will of God in the election process so that at the end of the day, whoever emerges will be God’s chosen”. The cleric regretted that so many persons were reading meanings into wh

BARCA SAW HELL

No king will reign forever, so goes a saying. This can be likened to what the world acclaimed best team is experiencing now. ‘No club can reign forever’. Has Barcelona reached its peak? Following FC Barcelona’s lacklustre performance in recent matches, many soccer followers have begun to ponder whether the recent development could mark the end of Barcelona’s reign in world football. In Tuesday’s El- Clasico encounter, Cristiano Ronaldo got the better of Lionel Messi, scoring twice to lead Real Madrid to a 3-1 win at Barcelona and a spot in the Copa del Rey final. Ronaldo-Messi After the first leg of their semifinal ended 1-1, Madrid neutralized Barcelona’s passing game and counter- attacked to perfection at the Camp Nou to hand its arch rival its first home loss in any competition since last April. It was also a second straight cup setback for the Catalan club, which is running away with the Spanish league but lost 2-0 at AC Milan in the first leg of it

Man United and Real Madrid,Who are u putting ur money on?

There has been so much noise about the return leg of the UEFA Champions League match between Manchester United and Real Madrid. Remember that the first leg in Madrid ended 1-1. Africa's biggest sports betting website says you should put your money where your mouth is. If you back Manchester United to win in 90 minutes you will get more than double your money. If you say it will be a draw in 90 minutes like it was in Madrid, you will get over times three of your money. If you say its going to be Real Madrid, you will get more than double. The beautiful thing is that you don't have to predict the exact scoreline.

Susan you walked into my life, it was like God sent you as a fresh breath. I still remember your response to my first love message. You said 'Love killed romeo, sent Diana to an early grave and killed Jack on the Titanic. Forget about love, just have friendship and live long. Overtime our love grew to a depth I have never known. You were the best years of my life, your smile, your desire to live your dream. Read Denrele's tribute after the cut... My super star friend sways away and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says "she's gone"...Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as gorgeous now as when last I saw her. Her slightly disappearing figure and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her. And just at that moment, when someone at my side says she's gone, there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout - There she comes! Th

IS BOKO HARAM GONE OR NOT

A faction of Boko Haram has vowed to bring into line renegade members who, despite the declaration of ceasefire, have continued with the orgy of violence which the Islamist group embarked on since 2009 in the group's quest to Islamise Nigeria. It warned at the weekend that members who have continued the killing spree despite the declaration of the ceasefire agreementto immediately stop the offensives or face the consequence of their action. The group, led by Abdulaziz Ibn Adam, said it had realised its goals were not achievable through violence. But as if the warning was of no effect, seven persons were killed in separate attacks carried out in Kano and Kaduna States at the weekend. The death toll in Saturday's sectarian clash in Wukari, Taraba State, which was triggered by disagreement during a football training session, rose from five to 31 by Sunday. Adam, according to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said his group wouldgo after tho

WIZKID LEFT EME's RECORD

Facts have begun to emerge regarding the real story behind Wizkid and Banky's fallout. The reason is not unconnected with the rising sensational singer being made a cash cow for the EME label. An Insider opened up that Wizzy (his nickname) is at war with Banky W and EME because he wants a contract review which Banky W has refused to grant him. The source pointed out that since Ayodeji Balogun known as Wizkid signed with EME, he has been getting just 25% from whatever he gets paid to perform at an event with Banky W's Empire Mate Entertainment. EME is owned by Banky W and Segun Demuren who get 50%; and Osagie, Wizzy's ex-manager who introduced him to Banky after big record labels like Mo- Hits and Storm records rejected him, also got 25% from his hard earned money. "It is true they are having problems and this might just be the end of EME and Wizkid. When Wizzy signed his first (and last)contract with EME late in 2009, he saw Banky as his me

MILAN (AFP) – The veracity of AC Milan’s resurgence in Italy’s Serie A is set to be put to the test when Barcelona visit the San Siro Wednesday for the first leg of a last 16 tie in the Champions League. After their worst ever start to a league campaign the Rossoneri have climbed to third place and within touch of securing one of the three Champions League places for next year. However their survival in this year’s competition could depend on a strong showing in Milan ahead of a return to the formidable surroundings of the Nou Camp on March 12. Although billed, by Milan, as a match between ‘the best of the world’ — Milan are seven-time European champions while Barcelona, four-time winners, are widely considered the strongest team in the world — the Spanish league leaders have the bragging rights. The last time the two sides met, in last season’s competition, Barcelona came away from the San Siro with a scoreless draw in the first leg of the quarter-final,

STUDENT GRAON AS FREE SCHOOL BUSESS DISAPPEARS IN ENUGU

School children in the city of Enugu who had enjoyed free transport services in the State have lamented over the sudden disappearance of the free buses introduced last year by the state government for their comfort.

BREAKING NEWS:2FACE IS SICK

In the literary meaning of sick, 2Face Idibia is not actually laying on any bed as baba is very hale and hearty, but it actually took me a very long time to finally decide a title to tag this epistle. After listening to 2Face’s new album Away and Beyond for several days repeatedly, i came to a conclusion that 2Face Idibia is very SICK, reasons of which are obvious. This crowned King of African music is second to none. The ‘African Queen’ crooner who has immensely paid his dues in the music factory. Starting out as a member of the defunct Plantashun boiz with Faze and the man with a Blackface, went on a solo career in search of greener pastures. Back in the Plantashun days, 2Face Idibia was very spectacular. Although other acts in the group were excellent, but 2Face was exceptional. His voice and lyrics always stood out. It could be argued that the African Queen song that sold him out wasn’t written by him, but if the writer could have done any better, who wou

COPY OF POPE LETTER OF RESIGNING

The full copy of Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation letter has been released after the pontiff made his decision last week. Read the Pope’s resignation statement in full below: Dear Brothers, I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, st

GOLDIE:why we kept our marriage secret,:ANDREW HARVEY

Barely 48 hours after pop singer, Oluwabimpe Susan Harvey, fondly known as Goldie Harvey died, new facts, especially about her marital status have emerged. It was apparent that in view of her music career, the late singer decided to play down on her marital affairs, including the need to make her participation at the Big Brother Stargame House, dramatic moments without her colleagues getting less acquainted by treating her as a married woman. In our encounter with Andrew Leonard Harvey, a senior contract engineer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the deceased acclaimed husband, everything that happened in Big Brother House was a game that was long over after the Nigerian singer was evicted. But the internet has gone viral ever since these fresh facts emerged, including the marriage pictures released on Goldie’s facebook page by her husband. Fans of the late singer have been reacting to the ensuing controversies, one of which centers on her alleged romance with Prezzo, a Kenyan rap

CATHOLIC LENT BEGINS:MEANING AND HISTORY OF LENT

Lent celebrants carrying out a street procession during Holy Week. The violet color is often associated with penance and detachment. Similar Christian penitential practice is seen in other Catholic countries, sometimes associated with mortification of the flesh. Granada, Nicaragua. Lent (Latin:Quadragesima) is a solemn observance in the liturgical year of many Christian denominations, lasting for a period of approximately six weeks leading up to Easter Sunday.

YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT,GOODLUCK TELLS KESHI

What looked like a replay of defining moment of the Westerhof era when some sports administrators in the country were bent in frustrating him, happened yesterday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja when President Goodluck Jonathan assured Keshi of his full support. Westerhof was reported to have complained to IBB when he had opportunity to meet with the former head of state that ‘the boys’ at the NFF would not allow him to work due to their unnecessary interferences. This, it was gathered made IBB to give the former Eagles handler direct access to the presidency for every assistance he needed to discharge his duties. Some close watchers of the unfolding event during and after the Afcon 2013 were of the opinion that this was what Coach Keshi had planned to achieve with his purported resignation – to have direct access to the presidency. According to them, it would not be surprising if Keshi, who captained the Eagles during that period has taken a clue

I HAD NOSE CANCER:GOV SULLIVAN CHIME

See what the governor said recently: “I have been completely cured and declared cancer free by the doctors,” “When I read in some newspapers how I died in India, we then turned Nigerian newspapers to entertainment forum. We read what they wrote about me and laughed.
