LAGOS TO SET WORLD RECORD

Suya has been seen as a very common household name across the street over several years. Either from the mallam next door or down the street! We have enjoyed long sticks of suya steak every now and then, but have you seen or tasted  a longer stick of meat steaks?
   The Lagos City Suya Carnival is an experience too good to miss. The idea was borne out of the need to celebrate Africa, Nigeria and most especially Lagos in a grand style.
  
Lagos state is hosting the biggest and largest suya festival not just in Nigeria,  not in Africa alone but worldwide. This is a feat that is going to gain international recognition and even place Lagos on the the prestigious Guinness book of record as the state with the largest steak festival!
Why Lagos? The organizers of the festival have apparently chosen Lagos so as to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Lagos state, how remarkable it is!
  
What makes the festival unique and record breaking? Well, like I earlier said, you must have eaten a long stick of steak but have you ever seen a 50ft long suya steak? Yes!  50ft!

   Another unique feat for this carnival is the duration of the carnival, it is going to last for about 12hours, yes you saw that, 12hours of fun eating chops all through. Starting from 10:30am to 11:00pm on October 1st 2017. Tell me why it is not going to be loud!
 
  Now you know why the festival is a ground breaking carnival! Now you know that suya steak can be made in daylight and not at night alone, only in this Record breaking festival!

What do you think about this suya carnival? You can comment below.

According to Bola Agboola, one of the governor's aide who narrated the incident as an eye witness, "Osamwonyi Bright Osas is a graduate of Political Science and Public Administration who is observing the mandatory one year National Youth Service Corps(NYSC) programme at the College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti.

Luck came his way as he encountered Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose when the came to Ikere Ekiti for on the spot assessment of the third phase ongoing Ado/Ikere road dualization on Thursday 20th April, 2017.

"Governor Fayose had finished the supervision and was on his way to his bus when Osas accosted him, "good afternoon Mr. Governor, I am a native of Edo, I relocated from Adamawa to Ekiti State because of my love for you, I follow everything you do religiously online, I love you so much and I pray God take you higher and higher.
"I graduated from UNIBEN with a first class in Political Science and Public Administration, one thing I pray thee Sir, please allow me snap with you Sir", Osas who was in NYSC outfit begged.

RAPISTS AND WIFE BEATERS TO FACE LIFE SENTENCE IN EKITI STATE

The Ekiti State Government on Monday announced that rapists and wife beaters now face life sentence.

The Permanent Secretary in the State Ministry of Information, Youth and Sports Development, Kola Ajumobi, said this at a public enlightenment forum in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.

Ajumobi also announced an increase in the maternity leave period for women in its public service from 12 weeks to 16 weeks.

He said that the gesture was approved by the state governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, as part of his display of love and special regard for the womenfolk in the state.

He said it was also aimed at encouraging exclusive breastfeeding for newly born children in the first six months of birth.

It is also meant to promote good nutrition for both mothers and their newborn children, he said.

Ajumobi said that nursing mothers would, in addition to the four months, be granted two hours’ off duty everyday for a period of six months from the date they resumed from maternity leave.

According to him, the commitment of the Fayose-led administration to the reduction in mothers and children’s mortality and morbidity rate to the barest minimum remains sacrosanct.

Ajumobi said the crèche at the state secretariat had also been invigorated to boost bonding between mothers and their children during official working hours without undue hindrance to performance and efficiency at the workplace.

The permanent secretary lamented that lack of good nutrition; poverty, hunger as well as lack of access to economic and political empowerment had largely contributed to high maternal and child mortality.

He, however, noted that the present administration in the state would continue to roll out various palliative packages exclusively for women to empower and guard them from avoidable travails.

Ajumobi said such measures already in existence include the provision of N500m as revolving soft-loan to promote small and medium Enterprises driven by women.

Also, women farmers were being supported with various incentives, he said.

According to him, government has also encouraged women’s access to political power.

Harmful traditional practices to woman’s nutritional and sexual reproductive health, such as widowhood rites and inheritance had become criminal offences in the state, he said.

NIGERIAN MAN WANTED BY THE FBI FOR FRAUDS

A Nigerian man who goes by the name of Kelechi Declan James has been declared wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in relation to a fraudulent e-mail scheme which cost the victims losses to the tune of 5 million USD.

Releasing a press release calling for anyone with useful information to contact them, the FBI said:

“FBI agents are looking for the public’s assistance in locating Kelechi Declan James. He has federal criminal charges against him from an investigation by FBI New York’s Cyber Crime Task Force. James is known to frequent the Brooklyn neighborhoods of East New York (Crescent Street and Loring Avenue; Vermont Street between Blake Avenue and Dumont Avenue), Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant (MacDougal and Hull Streets), Crown Heights (Park Place and Utica Avenue), Flatbush (E 29th and Avenue D), and East Flatbush (East 51st and Winthrop Street). The FBI is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest.

“James is 32 years old, 6’0″ tall, and approximately 175 pounds. He is a Nigerian national, has brown eyes and black hair, and may have a beard. Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of James is urged to contact law enforcement immediately. The FBI can be reached 24 hours a day at (212) 384-1000. He is not considered to be violent in nature.

“As alleged in a complaint sworn out of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, James, along with four other co-conspirators, ran a business e-mail compromise scheme that resulted victim losses of more than $5 million for their victims.

“As part of scheme, James and his co-conspirators defrauded victims across the U.S. by tricking them into wiring money to bank accounts the victims believed were owned by family members, friends, or business associates. They did this in two ways: by overtaking an e-mail account of an individual trusted by the victim and then requesting money be wired to a bank account; or by developing a relationship of trust with victim like an Internet romance and then asking the victim to wire money. As soon as the money was wired, it would be moved from one account to another, and the funds would be withdrawn. James’s role in this scheme was to withdraw the money from bank accounts.”

PRESIDENT BUHARI'S EASTER MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS

I congratulate our Christian brothers and sisters on the celebration of this year’s Easter.

I rejoice with you on this historic occasion signifying the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, redemption over condemnation, and hope over despair.

The commemoration of this special season in Christianity, is always preceded by fasting, piety, humility, penance and prayers of intercession in the build up to the death of Jesus Christ on Good Friday, an event which reunited man with his Creator.

The message of Easter is filled with themes of love, faith, sacrifice, dedication, commitment, fulfilment of prophecy, hope, expectation and victory, as espoused in the Scriptures and the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus Christ.

As we celebrate yet another Easter, I urge all Nigerians to live peacefully with one another and do their utmost to make Nigeria a beautiful place to reside.

In the almost two years of this administration, we have worked hard to meet the expectations of Nigerians by improving security, especially in the North-East, sustaining the campaign against corruption and have taken steps to revitalize the economy.

We are determined as never before to continue with the fight against terrorism and insurgency; sustain the peace in the Niger Delta through engagements with stakeholders; and restore peace and stability in other parts of the country.

It is in our collective interest to live in peace because without peace, no meaningful and sustainable development can take place. Lack of peace in one part affects in one way or the other, all parts of the country. Our people must rediscover the values of peaceful co-existence, social justice, religious tolerance, dignity of labour and patriotism.

I enjoin all Nigerians to keep faith in the determination and ability of this administration to change the Nigerian story for the good of all.

I wish all Nigerians happy Easter celebrations.

"FIRST OF ALL I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE DEAL" DAVIDO'S REACTION TO SIGNING IN WITH SONY MUSIC

Davido got signed to Sony Music Entertainment in January 2016, and has endured a fractious relationship with the major label due to creative control issues.

The relationship provided the lukewarm “Son Of Mercy” EP and a collaboration with Tinashe on ‘How long’.

But the singer was unhappy, and has renegotiated his contract to enable him create his music the way he wants to.

“First of all, I didn’t even want to take the deal because I didn’t need it. I was doing tours all over Africa with 50,000 to 80,000, people so it was like why am I signing the deal?” He told Guardian

“They tried to fix me up with a producer and I decided to come home, but I’m still signed to them, it’s going good. They have realized how much potential is here because even when I am all over the world it is my African songs that even the oyibo people f*** with.”

Davido’s collaboration with Tinashe produced the song “How long’. The record was a tropical House production, which had the singer alter his style to blend with the US singer. A video for the song was shot in Malibu, California. But Davido was unhappy with it

The collaboration was as a result of the Sony deal. Don’t get me wrong, Tinashe is a talented artist but it wasn’t my style. My style is just the Nigerian style like I said before, I can’t sing American music pass Chris Brown and Chris Brown cannot come and sing Nigerian music pass me.” He says.

Davido’s new deal with Sony gave him creative control, which he has flexed to provide good results. His first single of 2016, ‘If’, has become a mega hit on the continent. The song produced by Tekno is currently leading every African chart and playlist. It has also shown crossover potential.

Davido believes that it is proof of how creative freedom provides the best results for musicians in Africa.

“I had to look at what I had, which was a whole continent. That is what all of those guys in America want. When you’re over there all of them want to be here. We need to just know what we are worth.”

Davido’s plan for his career is to be a legend and put other artists on. Then he can pivot his business to other fields.

“My goal would be to keep doing what I am doing and get to that legend status. I want to bring up other artists like Mayorkun, who dropped his single Sade.”

“I am 24 now, I cannot be doing music when I’m 30, I’ll probably drop two albums after this but I want to be done by the time I’m 29 or 30. I want to have a big media house and go into other things like filming. I know eight presidents personally so you can imagine what I can do, like youth empowerment.”

OMAWUNMI CELEBRATES HER 35TH BIRTHDAY!

The beautiful songstress and mother of two, Omawumi, has taken to her page to share some powerful words as she marks her 35th birthday..

The “If You Ask me” crooner wrote on her instagram page:

I have been through a lot in the past few years and my testimony has been mostly of good... Well when God said ' all things work TOGETHER for good', most people forget that 'together' is made up of good and bad and sometimes horrible. Thank God I realized it not too late in life. When I look back in my life, where I came from, the woman I've grown up to be, all I say is God IS Good. I am not comparing myself to anyone and counting my blessings whilst comparing it to anyone's misfortune because I've come to realize that Life happens to anyone and everyone.

I am just in a place of extreme and complete Thanksgiving. Thank God, Thank My Family(Mothers, Brothers, Sisters, Cousins, Relatives) for nurturing me and guiding my steps, Thank you My Husband for loving me through it all, Thanks to my Children that bring my joy every waking day, Thank My Friends for being patient with me and accepting me with all my flaws, Thank you my fans and lovers of my music for shaping and celebrating my craft.
As I add another year in my life, my prayer is for you all, not me, because God has used you to bless me. May The Almighty God bless you all, May we all live long to encourage, build, bless each other In Jesus Name. AMEN #birthdaygirl #omawumi #omawanderings #timeless #omawonder

MAID STEALS 10,000USD FROM HER BOSS AND CHANGES IT TO NAIRA AT 86NAIRA PER DOLLAR

The Lagos state police command have arrested one Blessing Paul, a maid for allegedly stealing her boss’ $10,000 in Gbagada and changed it to Naira at the rate of N86 per usd.

Blessing was was alleged to have forcibly opened the boss’ room with a knife and collected the money while the woman was at work.

It was gathered that the maid, who had been stealing money and other valuables from her victim’s home, handed over the foreign currencies to the house guard identified as Daniel.

The guard, it was gathered, handed the money to a security man at another residence in Gbagada, who in turn took it to a Bureau De Change (BDC) operator for the Naira equivalent.

But the operator was said to have told policemen he received only about $5,000 from Amos. Instead of giving them N360/USD, the BDC operator gave the suspects at N86 per dollar, thereby shortchanging the alleged thieves of more than N2m.

According to the command’s spokesman, Olarinde Famous-Cole, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), the woman they stole from was one Mrs. Tokunbo.
