“At the end of the elections, sensitive materials will be retrieved from the same locations. The same process will be repeated for each of the two phases of the 2019 General Elections, namely the Presidential and National Assembly elections holding on 16thFebruary and the Governorship, State Assembly and Area Council election in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on 2ndMarch.
“For the 2019 General Elections, the Electoral Logistics Committee will be responsible for coordinating logistics support as well as the clearance and transportation of election materials to various locations nationwide.

A Nigerian man has taken to his social media page, do dare God in the presence of mortal men, to take his life in less than an hour if truly He exists.
Dauntlessly taking to his page, the gentleman asked that God takes his life in 30minutes and if He doesn’t then He doesn’t exist.

I dare God to take his [sic] life in 30 minutes, If He can’t then that means He doesn’t exist
A septuagenarian, Mrs Cecilia Attah, has been killed by her son at Nru, Nsukka, Enugu State, a new report by Vanguard says.
It was discovered that Mrs Attah was killed, on Wednesday, by her son who used a plank to hit her on the head.
Shortly after killing his mother, the suspect ran to the nearby Nsukka Police Station to report that his brother wanted to kill him.
The deceased is said to be the mother of a priest, Rev Fr. Nobert, who is currently on sabbatical in the U.S, with Athanasius Igwenagum Attah, 54, as the eldest.
Athanasius, a panelbeater, was seen at Nsukka Police Station, yesterday, making a statement over the issue.
A senior police officer said that the death was accidental, as Mrs Attah was trying to separate two of her sons, who were quarrelling, when one of them killed her.
It’s official, Nigerian Afro-pop singer, Burna Boy is the first to serve a dish of controversy this year following his recent brouhaha over a mere font of his name in an international musical flyer.
The “Ye” crooner continued with his rant against Coachella following his earlier protest about how small they wrote his name in the flyers.
Burna Boy described himself as an African Giant fighting for the vision and future of the continent, but this morning he went a step further, but many Nigerians feel he took a step too far.
In his own words,
‘It is a fact that my own country ‘Nigeria’ is home to the largest number of Backward Unprogressive Fools. I will still fight for them because they are not mentally advanced enough to fight for themselves’.
This has caused a serious stir among Nigerians and they certainly aren’t finding it funny. Most are rather outraged that the singer comes to such despicable conclusion and justifies his stance all because of a mere font.
See some reactions below,
Man this can't be true, @burnaboy referered to Nigeria as a home of 'Backward unprogressive fools'? if this is true, then something has gone terribly wrong. To say this is shocking is an understatement ? https://t.co/a11QqwmWfD
Burna Boy Just Called Nigerians ''BACKWARD UNPROGRESSIVE FOOLS'' it all started from a FONT
You all have given too much power and Attention to the wrong person this time,Man is now intoxicated cause he makes Songs that sounds good when you are HIGH pic.twitter.com/mfUqBvgKgu
Okay, Now it’s beginning to seem like Burna boy just wants to trend. Because saying “Nigeria is the home to the largest number of backward unprogressive fools” was a really unnecessary thing for him to have said.
Burna Boy just called some Nigerians backward unprogressive fools & some people are angry, in a country where many people are doing everything for Buhari to be president for another 4 yrs, if that's not a country with many backward unprogressive fools, I don't know what it is.
This advanced Daddy showkey a.k.a Burna Boy just called Nigerians "Backward Unprogressive FOOLS" for calling him out over allowing Font size to define him as African Giant.
He is right but the reason behind the branding of Nigerians is extremely wrong and displays his STUPIDITY pic.twitter.com/bMMJXvtRwj
How dare you call Nigerians “backward unprogressive fools”?@burnaboy Nigerians are the ones pushing your career to the top son. You need to publicly apologize.
They put your name in a small font because you’re not as big as the artistes in bigger fonts, but you’re calling your fans backward unprogressive fools
Buhari called you people "Lazy Youths" you people were angry…. Your McM called you people backward Unprogressive fools and some of you are cool with it?

In another episode of domestic violence, the first case to be reported on social media this year, a lady with the name, Timi Miebi has taken to her page to call out her husband, Timi Yanky after beating her mercilessly because of his side chic.
The quite exasperated lady took to her Facebook page to share photos of herself of the aftermath of the assault of her husband on her over his mistress.
A really pissed Miebi declared that her husband who paid her dowry will regret his wicked doings, further stating that if he doesn’t have the capability of handling two women, then he shouldn’t come near her.
Alongside photos, she wrote,
Good morning Timi Yanky U beat me up because ur so call girlfriend,if u are going out with any girl does dat mean u Will kill me because of The girl,I will never forget this because it’s very painful…….how can u just beat up ur wife u payed her dairy u Will definitely regret it and if u don’t have d mind to control two women don’t bother to do it me and yowere who fit woman pass wey u wan kill me because of her.
Senior Pastor of Worksword of God Church, Pastor Gabriel O. Adegboye has released his prophecies for the New Year and it’s quite controversial.
Adegboye – the Convener of Save Nigeria 2019 Movement and a former presidential aspirant – stated that there isn’t hope for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, winning the 2019 election.
In a list of prophecies, he stated that President Buhari will not hand over power easily if he loses.
These are his 2019 prophecies,
1. NIGERIA AND POLITICS
The PDP Presidential Candidate has to seek for God’s help now because there is no headway for his presidential ambition.
It does not matter who wins the presidential election, President Buhari will not hand over willingly.
The coming general elections and the outcome is not peaceful at all.
I see President Buhari being forced out of Aso Rock Villa by a superior power for his refusal to do the needful. Violence erupts and things go out of hands, so be careful.
God has ordained a particular man of God to be appointed to pilot the affairs of this great nation with supernatural wisdom to restore normalcy in the land.
The next president of Nigeria is not among the candidates seeking elections into the office of the President, which makes it difficult for the presidential elections results to be widely acceptable.
2. BOKO HARAM AND GENERAL INSECURITY
God gave me secrets to stop the operations of Boko Haram with the support of Nigeria Armed Forces.
For years I have been saying the same thing. I have answer to the insurgents.
God said to me there is no way Boko Haram can be conquered without Him.
All my yearly declarations since 2011 are the same on security. Imagine how many lives and property Nigeria has lost to insurgents.
Military personnel and sophisticated war equipment got lost and wasted over the years. It is the Lord’s battle and nobody not even foreign military support can eliminate Boko Haram without God’s involvement.
This year is a year determined by God to take over Nigeria and very shortly
power will change hands in this country.
The claim of Nnamdi Kanu that President Buhari died on the 17th of January 2017 was not true. President Buhari did not die. God did not say so. On the 20th February 2017, God told me that on the 8th of May 2017, President Buhari would travel and probably may not return again, but with the prayer of all lovers of the President, God tampered justice with mercy. I can authoritatively declare that there is President Buhari in Aso Rock Villa.
“God does not run by propaganda and He does not support secession in this country. I encourage Nnamdi Kanu to
stop dividing what God has joined together. I declare indivisibility of Nigeria now and always.
Nigeria is not a zoological garden and Nigerians are not Gorillas (animals) as
Nnamdi Kanu portrayed it. Nigeria is God’s own country and this will be proved this year. It does not matter who support Nnamdi Kanu, his agenda is anti-God and cannot see the light of the day.
I appeal to President Buhari, not to do what will provoke Nigerians and the
military into staging revolution in this country.
Finally, all I see is that Nigerians have failed themselves, especially the political
elites, so God is taking a very drastic decision this year to save this nation from revolution and unending crises.
MY APPEAL
1. To all advisers of President Buhari; Allow him to take unilateral decision in the interest of this nation, so that he can end well.
2. I appeal to His Excellency, President Buhari to bow to the wish of the people
honourably and not allow certain people mislead Him.
3. Mr. President has built enough trust and confidence of all Nigerians over the
years, nobody should come and destroy this legacy of his Excellency through
selfish counsels.
Most of the people that will not let President Buhari do the right thing were not with him in 2003, 2007, and 2011 when he went through thin and tank to become who God has made him today.
So, nobody should make him offend the God that has been faithful to him throughout all his numerous challenges, God bless Nigeria

To the few proud Young AFRICAN intellectuals who will not conform to whatever bullshit they are given, you are the only hope of AFRICA.
God bless you all.
Azman Air plane’s engine reportedly caught fire mid-air yesterday. A passenger onboard the flight has shared an amazing story about how it all happened after the plane landed safely.
The Azman Air flight was operated by a Boeing B737 with the registration number 5N-NAS. It had departed the Murtala Muhammed Airport domestic terminal (MMA 2), Lagos to Port Harcourt International Airport (PHIA), Port Harcourt, with 114 passengers on-board.
Read Kachi’s experience as she shared on twitter :
So I almost died today. But apparently God isn’t done with me yet. I know I’ll check out one day but it will be in my 90s when I am old, bent over and lost all my teeth.
I boarded @AzmanAir 9:30 am 3/1/2019, Lagos to Port Harcourt. I settled in between a man in his mid 50s
And a girl of about 9yrs, some of her missing teeth reminded me of my daughter Kamsi. I looked out of the window and noticed I was seated close to the engine. I sighed and muttered “my ear go hear am today”. I also noticed there where seemly more kids than adults too.
This is going to be one very noisy flight. We took off smoothly and I closed my eyes and dozed off. I woke up to a tap by a flight attendant. She made to give me a pack of snacks, I declined. Not ready to spoil my coffee and crossaint breakfast.
( this would have been my last breakfast). Was about to close my ears again when I heard it, the engine hit something… Must be a bird, the plane vibrated slightly. I would have waved it aside if the flight attendant didn’t come peeping out the window. I follwed his gaze
and saw the smoke. WHAT!!!! Is this for real??? And that was the beginning of our nightmare. The plane started vibrating. The pilot annouced we would land by 10:55 We neared the runway,oya tyre come out, for where!!!We went back up amidst vibrating plane and cries of scared kids
The pilot tried 3 other times to land the plane and it didn’t work. Na then I know say water don pass garri. Fire was coming out of the engine. I bent down and prayed for my kids. I confessed my sins and asked God for forgiveness. Sent my sis Luu and my closest friend a text.
Didn’t go into details because i didn’t want them to panick. A certain peace envloped me. I was ready to die. I told myself Jeff knows where all my important documents are. He will answer any questions as I am about to die without leaving a will.
. I closed my eyes and waited for the inevitable to happen.
Then the plane turned a fifth time and faced the run way. An elderly man got up and implored all of us to start thanking God for the miracle he was about to perform in our lives. We all started screaming and shouting
“thank you Jesus”. I looked out the window and we were nearing the runway again. I shut my eyes and prayed vehemently that this will be it. God please do it for my kids sake. God heard us. The thud of the plane landing was the best feeling ever. I wept.
Tears of gratitude. Everyone was crying. People hugged each other. At that moment we were one. Not Hausa or Igbo or Yoruba. Just a group of people united in our fears and prayers. We survived. We didn’t die. We alighted to the jubilation of the Airport workers. They witnessed it.
They were down there praying for us. Fire service already poured water on the runway to minimise the impact incase we crash landed.
God and the pilot’s expertise saved us.
God, who am i that you are mindful of me?
Please let me go and hug my children one more time.
So I almost died today. But apparently God isn’t done with me yet. I know I’ll check out one day but it will be in my 90s when I am old, bent over and lost all my teeth.
I boarded @AzmanAir 9:30 am 3/1/2019, Lagos to Portharcourt. I settled in between a man in his mid 50s
Apostle Chris Omatsola, the popular Lekki Pastor who was embroiled in a sex tape scandal last year, disclosed that they made over 10 sex videos as he recounted how he met his ex-girlfriend, Princess Tamaratokoni Okpewho.
Apostle Chris Omatsola who spoke publicly for the first time on the issue, said he met PRINCESS TAMARATOKONI OKPEWHO (aka Toks David) sometime in September 2017 just before the Lekki Toll Gate after Quilox night club around 4:40am, while returning from a vigil in Adetokunbo Ademola, Victoria Island.
Here is the lengthy piece he shared online on Thursday, January 3rd 2019.
Since the libelous allegations against me by my former lover, Princess Tamaratokoni Okpewho, went viral late last year, I have been inundated with calls and messages from Nigerians all and sundry both at home and abroad. I have got threats to my life and ministry. Initially, I thought I should let it slide, but after sharing my thoughts with some close friends and family members, I was advised to go public with my side of the story to set the records straight, because I am aware she will also come out with more lies and blackmail. I have since realized that it is important I state it so people will not continue to misconstrue my silence for guilt. Journalists and bloggers should note that I will make no further comment on this matter from henceforth. This is not in anyway to justify my wrong act of fornication. What you are about to read is the truth from my heart for which I will give account to God and God alone.
“This Day, I make bold to say with all honesty of heart and sincerity of purpose that it is true that i committed sexual fornication with Ms. Princess Tamaratokoni Okpewho of which I have since repented and God has forgiven me. But I did not post our Sex-tapes on the internet or assaulted her physically as she maliciously and fallaciously claimed and want us all to believe. Why would I post my Sex-tapes on the internet, for popularity, for money or for what? I am Chris Omatsola, I have followers and partners from around the world, that believes in the Grace of God in my life, My Kingdom Authority devotional is read across the length and breath of this world, I own one of the most successful real estate company in Nigeria (Krystal Properties, Lekki) and other companies. So how will I post my Sex-tapes on the internet?” – Chris Omatsola.
I met PRINCESS TAMARATOKONI OKPEWHO (aka Toks David) sometime in September 2017 just before the Lekki Toll Gate after Quilox night club around 4:40am. I was returning from a vigil in Adetokunbo Ademola, Victoria Island, that fateful day. She flagged down my car on the lonely road. She appeared drunk. Because it was dark and I thought it could be dangerous, I stopped and picked her.
When we got to my house that night, she slept on the couch in the sitting room, while I slept in the bedroom. The following morning after she was sober, I asked what she was doing by that time of the night alone and drunk on the Lekki-Epe Expressway. She started sobbing and shared the sad story of her life, how family financial pressure and bad friends pushed her into this funny lifestyle. I believed every word that came out of her mouth.
She told me that she was a graduate of Computer Science from Landmark University. She said she left Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for Lagos in search of greener pastures because of the hardship back at home. She told me her dad (Mr. Nobert Okpewho) is an indigene of Abraka, Delta State, and her mom (Mrs. Sarah Okpewho) was from Bayelsa.
She said her dad was once a Shell Nigeria staff, he got into trouble with the company because he duped some fellow, he was defrauded as well, and he was sacked from Shell because of the financial scandal that trailed him with loads of police cases, police arrests, court cases and his debtors everywhere after him. That her both parents are old and jobless in Port Harcourt and that they’re even owing 3 years accommodation rent.
She lamented how her mom who had 2 kids from 2 different fathers out of wedlock before marrying to her dad whom she had the three of them for has serious health challenges and since she’s the first daughter of the family and because things are bad for them she felt obligated to help out as much as she can even though her dad never supported her coming to Lagos but he had no choice since she foot the bills.
She told me of how her immediately older brother (Efe Okpewho) of the same father, whom their father spent millions of Naira on when things were rosy to study in the UKs never graduated or came back to Nigeria with any result, degree or whatsoever and still ask her for money regularly for upkeep. This was the same Efe Okpewho threatening to shot me dead with his gun when we meet in the police station which I have also reported to police (I fear for my life because the guy is a known and notorious tout in Port Harcourt). I have also been receiving loads of death threats from her numerous boyfriends and lovers since then. She said her mom two eldest son’s whom she had from other men don’t even care about her for reasons best known to them and that she’s more of their all in all as she’s in Lagos.
She said when she got to Lagos, she could not get a job and the one she got with DSTV in Spar, Lekki, she was paid N18,000 per month, depending on sales. She said all family financial pressures were on her shoulders because her older siblings were not living up to their responsibilities. She said some other deep family secrets that I believe I should keep from the public despite our differences. She said she was fed up with life. I actually shed tears while listening to her during the seven hours conversation. Any man with a heart will do. I felt sad a young woman would go through those troubles alone. I wished I was Aliko Dangote so I could make her feel free and happy (I did my bit anyway).
From that moment, I saw her not only as a friend, but as a younger sister. I loved her. I saw in her an innocent lady who was ready to risk her life and do all she could to put a smile on the faces of her siblings and parents. I advised her to stop that kind of life because Lagos is a very dangerous place and it is not right in the sight of God.
Honestly, our sexual relationship started from there as I became emotionally attached to her. That you may say, was the beginning of the downfall of Apostle Chris Omatsola.
Fast forward to February 2018. I was so busy trying to get her a good job with my links. She moved in with me, got a better paying Job. Before moving to my house, Princess lived with a friend named Amaka, who stayed in Ikota Ghetto. Amaka stayed with her hemp-smoking boyfriend (Turna) and about five others in one room inside a beer parlour and semi brothel.
Prior to this time, Princess only visited my house. So, she pleaded I allowed her to stay with me since I already promised to marry her. She said she was not comfortable in Amaka’s house since she now had a new life. I was scared initially. But because of what I thought was my love for her, and how she was so in love with me, I accepted and we started staying together in my three bedroomed apartment on Harmony Estate, Lekki.
Amaka was aware; Ese Okpewho her younger sister and Tosin her former course mate were also aware, even though she always lied to her parents and friends that she was not staying with me because she wanted us to get married by all means. She was such a jealous lover, so over protective, she frowns at the sight of any woman around me, even female calls on my phone irritates her. She checked on my WhatsApp chat regularly.
Did I promise her marriage? To be honest, YES. I promised to marry her, but on the condition that she changed her ways and accept God genuinely. She actually did change because she stopped night clubbing and smoking, but hid to take alcohol. She started going to church with me as she became my prayer point. We prayed and did fasting together regularly, and I taught her the word of God. At a point, she became almost more fervent as she would wake me up for midnight prayers and morning devotions. I bought her Christian books and we went out for weekend evangelism together. She waxed fervent and prayed in tongues, while in my house. She dissociated herself completely from bad friends and started posting Scriptural verses online. She became serious in the things of God.
I was happy and felt fulfilled that God had used me to change someone. She introduced me to her parents and I introduced her to mine. Though my mum was skeptical about her, but she accepted Princess and treated her as her daughter; they spoke regularly on the telephone, although I never told her how I met Princess because I did not want anyone to discourage me. Princess was so in love with me and there’s nothing she doesn’t share with me. She always said to me, ‘Kevwe, you’re the angel God sent to me; I don’t know what my life would have turned into if not for you. God used you to salvage my life.’ Her mum always call me on the telephone to ask when I would see their family formally.
I later accepted to formalize our relationship and her mother said we should come to Port Harcourt to see her when we are ready. We both planned to go see her parents for formal introduction in September 2018.
Princess and I had more than 10 sex tapes of ourselves on our phones as she enjoy filming sex. I trusted her so much that I kept money in her account. At a time, I kept over N900,000 with her because I thought I was a reckless spender and she was frugal.
However, Princess’ attitude started changing when Davido’s gifted his Chioma with a 45 million Naira Porsche SUV car on her birthday during the assurance era. In August 2018 after one of her former Landmark course mates, Mary who is also a runs babe, held a birthday party in Eko Hotel and Suite sponsored by her Yahoo boyfriend, who also flew her to Dubai and spent extravagantly for the celebration princess attitude got worsened. She know I loved her so much and will never leave her, so she can misbehave and take undue advantages of my undying love for her.
Prior to her birthday in April, she said she wanted a pre-birthday photo shoot. I told her that when she was ready, I would drive her to a studio24 in Lekki phase 1 and we would get it done. She insisted she must go to Iyana Ipaja to her ex-boyfriend (Timothy) photo studio for the shoot and she was not coming back till Monday morning. I was angry and thought the arrangement was bad. I did everything to stop her from traveling from Lekki to Iyana Ipaja, but she refused, even though my #750,000 was in her Zenith bank account and my money would be spent. She left on Friday and returned to the house on Monday night. I kept quiet because I loved her.
On another occasion, one of her ex- boyfriends, Benjamin, aka Benji, was in town and she told me it was his birthday party or something like that and she wanted to just attend it. I insisted that she should not, but as usual, she left that Friday and did not come home until four days later. I also kept quiet because I loved her.
On yet another occasion, she said she was going to spend the weekend with a friend, Gloria in her older sister’s house, in Ikeja and that she would not be coming home until Monday. I later discovered from her chat that she was with another of her boyfriend named Obinna, in his house in Maryland all through the weekend. I kept quiet because I loved her. Princess is such a complicated, deceptive and manipulative person and she will stand with her lies until you catch her redhanded which I have countless number of times. That Saturday she even lied to Gloria and her mum about her where about.
At another time, she left the house for days and gave me another lie. But after going through her chat, I discovered that she spent nights in another of her so-called ex boyfriend’s house by name BEKS, who, according to her, bought her a Samsung Galaxy phone as a birthday gift in 2017 before I met her. Also at yet another occasion she left Lagos to Benin, I even drove to the GIG Motors pack as she took off for a friends wedding but I discovered from her chat and she later confessed to me that she spent nights in the hotel room with one of her photographer boyfriend by name Omorogbe Eseosa who also covered the event in Benin. I also kept quiet because I loved her.
Seven days later, I will never forget that day (1st November, 2018), a friend in America drew my attention to a libelous publication against my name again trending on social media. Lo and behold, it was Princess Okpewho again. I was so devastated. This time, she accused me of assault and called me all sorts of names – liar, psychopath, a woman beater, a womanizer. At this point, my heart bled. It became obvious that she seriously wanted me down by all means. This was a woman I have never raised my hands on.
Initially, news had it that Princess Okpewho was my church member’s wife and that I was a married pastor. I did a video immediately saying she’s not a married woman and am not married, I am single and has never been married, those were my words in that clip, I never said that the sextape was recorded when I was not yet a Pastor or when I was still in the world. I never said that, journalist made that up. I never made any such statement with my mouth in that video, check it well. Honestly, the Sex-tapes were recorded sometimes in October 2017. She was holding the camera in some and I heard the camera in the other. We were both aware, and we never knew it will go viral around the world.
I regret my actions of having premarital sex that was filmed with her; I just can’t imagine how carnality and stupidity got such a strong hold of me. I sinned against God and my body. I have made my way right with God and I believe He has forgiven me. I am happy with myself and my life. Even though Princess Okpewho has proven time and time again that she would stop at nothing to see me down and dead. I still love her.
I still stand to say that the Princess Tamaratokoni Okpewho I know is a good person inside; she has a good heart and she is a good girl that loves her parents and family so much that she is ready to sacrifice anything for their happiness (She loves her little sister, Ese Okpewho, so much that i did not sleep all through the night she learnt the little girl was sent out of school over fees as she was just crying).
I pray that God will not overlook those days of prayers and fasting we did together. I would be the happiest person on Earth to see you in future burning with the fire of God in your life as I’ve always told you. I pray that she will find a better life ahead and a better man who will love her genuinely for who she is. I wish her long life, more money in good health. wish her the very best of life.
I pray things turn good for her family as well. I forgive all the evil and calumny she published against me and those who lent their platforms for such. I pray that she will shine from Glory to Glory. I also want her to know that it’s unfortunate that things turned out this way between us, but I will always love, cherish and respect the good times we spent together.
I also think ministers of God should learn from my fall. Watch your steps because the devil is on your tail. Be careful with women. Prayerfully help people. If you have fallen, don’t cover up. Seek God’s face with penitence and repentance. And don’t gloat over my mistake; let him that thinketh he standeth take heed, lest he falls.
God Bless Apostle Chris Omatsola
God Bless Princess Tamaratokoni Okpewho and God Bless You.

Meanwhile, Annie Idibia has stirred the internet after a new video surfaced in which she declared that she is not a feminist.
“Nah, not really. I believe in women power. I believe men are still kings and women are queen,” said the actress, adding, “personally, I’m sorry I’m not trying to [insult?] anybody here but I don’t believe a woman is a king. I believe she is a queen.”
The video has riled the internet, with many critics noting that the actress obviously has no idea what feminism is about.
See some of sample reaction below:
There's nothing remotely "feminist" about Annie Idibia, if anything she's the perfect model of "African woman & wife". Seems strange that you'd ask her if she's one.
That's like the Pope asking James Bond what is take is on abstinence and joining the monastery.
However, some fans have taken to the platform to defend Idibia, noting how she continues to support businesswomen.
Annie Idibia organized aircare to give over a 100 women start up capital/gift donations last week but "she is not supporting women" because she said she is not a feminist?

A pair of student drug dealers have been spared from jail after a judge was impressed by their grammar.
Luke Rance, 19, and Brandon Kerrison, 21, were arrested outside a Swansea library when they were found in possession of the Class B drug.
A court heard police examined their mobile phones to find text messages relating to their drug deals composed using perfect spelling and punctuation.
Judge David Hale said the ‘grammar and punctuation’ in the messages was of a much higher standard than normally seen from dealers and indicated a higher level of education.
Swansea Crown Court heard one message from Kerrison’s phone said:
‘Mad flavours from 10 tonight – let me know for more details’.
The court heard Kerrison was studying at Llansamlet Construction College in Swansea. Rance, who takes part in theatre productions, was due to start a degree having studied at Gower College, also in Swansea.
The judge said he did not want to ‘fetter the prospects’ of either man by sending them to jail.
Instead Kerrison and Rance were handed community orders with 100 hours of unpaid work.
Had Judge Hale wanted to impose a harsher punishment, sentencing guidelines indicate the pair could have been imprisoned for up to 26 weeks.
Kerrison, of Southgate, Swansea, admitted possession of cannabis with intent to supply and being concerned in the supply of cannabis.
It is estimated that Nigeria’s media and entertainment industry will generate an estimated revenue of up to $3 billion by 2021. You should note that Nigeria is one of the fastest developing countries. According to Nigeria entertainment news today, this figure ought to be treated with a lot of caution. This is because a lot of that growth will come from revenue generated from internet access. For instance, about $450 million will be generated from web access revenue while video and TV will add about $200 million.
According to PwC report, considerable shifts are likely to affect Africa’s entertainment and media companies in the manner in which they generate revenue and compete. Also, the quality of experience they offer to the consumers is likely to become the primary factor for revenue growth and differentiation. To survive in a marketplace that is crowded and increasingly competitive; companies ought to focus on implementing effective strategies. Besides, they ought to build capabilities to engage with their customers.
South Africa
It is estimated that the revenue of entertainment and media industry in South Africa is likely to hit R177.9 billion. This will be a significant increase from R132 billion in 2016. Also, internet access will play a vital role in this growth, and it accounts for about R27 billion of the increase. Some of the sectors that are expected to enjoy a lot of growth are e-sports and virtual reality (VR) at 39.6% and 72.6% respectively. However, these segments are relatively new. Thus, they represent only a small portion of the generated revenue.
Other African Countries
Apart from South Africa and Nigeria, other African countries are worth the mention. The PwC report focused on five-year forecasts of advertising and consumer spending in Kenya, Tanzania, and Ghana. The 14 segments they considered include data consumption, internet, cinema, television, virtual reality, e-sports, magazine publishing, newspaper publishing, games, music, radio, and business-to-business publishing.
According to the report, the entertainment and media industry in Kenya had estimated revenue of $2.1 billion in 2016. This represented a 13.6% increase from 2015. It is estimated that the industry will enjoy a growth rate of 8.5% compounded over the next 5 years. Thus, by 2020 it will have reached the $3 billion mark. This growth has been attributed to increased internet access.
Although Ghana’s entertainment and media industry has enjoyed considerable growth, the total revenue collected was only just above $200 million in 2012. Since then it enjoyed a 25 percent growth rate per year that resulted in revenues hitting nearly $700 million in 2016. The revenue is estimated to double in over the next 5 years. Thus, by 2021 the revenue is estimated to hit $1.5 billion.
On the other hand, Tanzania’s entertainment and media industry generated revenue of $500 million in 2016. However, by 2021, it is estimated to reach $1 billion. The Nigeria entertainment news today concludes that companies that want to benefit from shifting consumer preferences must be ready to disrupt their business models. This is necessary to align their models to focus on user experience as their competitive advantage. Thus, they need to harness data and technology to retain and attract more customers.
