Falz This is Nigeria Video: Another Muslim group tackles MURIC, says even Christians are not provoked

Muslim group tackles MURIC

Shortly after the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) asked Folarin ‘Falz’ Falana to withdraw his ‘This is Nigeria’ video, a group known as Muslim Against Terror has defended the artiste.

The group says MURIC does not have an understanding of veil usage.

In the video, girls wearing hijab are seen dancing ‘shaku shaku’, hence the controversy.

While addressing the reactions that trailed the video, Falz had explained that the girls were a representation of the abducted Chibok girls still in Boko Haram captivity.

In a statement countering that of MURIC, Muslim Against Terror asked if Ishaq Akintola, director of MURIC, would “prefer watching the ladies in the video dressed in body-hugging mini skirts and shaking their bountiful parts??

It read: “In clear contradiction to what MURIC’s Professor Ishaq Akintola claimed, Islam or Muslim was NEVER mentioned in the video and the veil is not owned by Islam but worn by anyone who so feels, hopefully to the pleasure of Muslims and worn by nuns and sometimes forcibly doused by terrorists on their captors as happened in the Chibok case.

“Where did Ishaq see Islam or Muslim in this video?

“Was this subvert threat of a possible repeat of radical and meaningless, unjustified violence by misguided Islamists in the past, a means of merely defending the Buhari administration possibly negatively affected by the viral video and defending Fulani herder-related terrorism by attempting to present the video as religiously provocative? The video was not.

“If at all the video provoked any religion it was the Christian faith, by ridiculing pastors casting out demons via grabbing female breasts, and also laying direct attacks at pastors involved in the establishment of universities which their congregations cannot attend.”

Instead of threatening Falz with legal action, the group urged MURIC to focus on the issues raised in the video.

“As regards truths of value in the video, there were very many that seemed not to be digested by Professor Ishaq, including: that the people are extremely poor, medical facilities are poor, that we operate a predatory neocolonial-capitalist system fueled on fraud and exploitation, bedeviled with institutionalized corruption, that criminal cases are settled in police stations and not courts, police station closing by six, no electricity, youth work multiple jobs and yet are called lazy by the president.”

The group urged that MURIC be careful of the propagation of sensitive messages.

Photos: Biafrans storm Super Eagles friendly game against Czech Republic in Austria with their flags

The Super Eagles of Nigeria played a World Cup Friendly game against Czech Republic in Austria.. and they lost the game, 1 goal to nil.

At the stadium, several Biafra flags were spotted chanting support for the Super Eagles..

The fans could be heard chanting in Igbo, which is the official language of the rested country.

Meanwhile, Nigerians on social media have expressed shock over the appearance of the Biafran national colours at the stadium in a match involving Nigeria.

Here are some pictures from the match… Followed by some reactions:

 

“We have no plans to take down the video” — Falz

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has issued Falz a seven-day ultimatum to take down his video for “This is Nigeria” or face legal actions by the organization.

This is because the singer used Girls in Hijab to dance “secular” moves.

According to The Cable, the request was made in a press release by the group’s director, Ishaq Akintola.

The statement reads:

“MURIC rejects Falz’ explanation that the girls in hijab in his ‘Shaku Shaku’ dance symbolize the Chibok girls because nothing in the video indicates that the girls represent the Chibok girls.

At least none of the Chibok girls have been seen dancing like a drunkard. They are always in pensive mood. Do they have any cause to be dancing? Are they happy?

The video manifests ethnic bias against Fulanis while it ignored the criminal activities of ethnic militia of the Middle Belt who have also massacred Fulanis and rustled their cattle in their thousands.

It is a hate video. This video has the potential of causing religious crisis of unprecedented dimension.

It is an assault on the self-dignity of every Muslim. It is freedom of expression gone haywire.

We therefore demand its withdrawal and an apology to Nigerian Muslims within seven days or the authors and their agents will face legal action if they fail to comply.

Only the scenes portraying police brutality and the money-swallowing snake in the video are near the truth.

We call the attention of security agencies to this hate action.

We remind Nigerians of the outcome of similar provocative actions in the past and their unpalatable outcomes.

The National Film And Video Censors Board (NFVCB), a regulatory agency set up by Act No. 85 of 1993 to regulate films and the video industry has a case to answer. ‘Shaku Shaku’ video was shot and released under its watch.

Instead of going violent, Nigerian Muslims should take those behind the ‘Shaku Shaku’ video to court in order to serve as a deterrent to others.

We, therefore, give notice of impending legal action against the artist behind the ‘Shaku Shaku’ video unless the latter is withdrawn and an apology is widely published within seven days”.

Pulse immediately reached out to Falz’s manager, Femisoro Ajayi, who confirmed that he was aware of the statement by the Muslim group, but they have no plans to take down the video.

‘Yes, I have seen the statement online, but we have no official response yet, the video is out there and we have no plans to take it down, we will only respond when we get an official letter directly sent to us”, he says.

Released barely over a week ago, the video which has gathered over 3.9 Million YouTube views generated a frenzy online and continues to attract reactions, both from home and abroad.

Critics have strongly pointed to various scenes in the video that they felt failed to properly capture the magnitude of the regions or situations they were supposed to represent.

His representations of the Fulani herdsmen killings and the dancing Chibok girls, a group of students kidnapped from their schools by the dreaded Boko Haram group have earned him his some critcisms.

FG scraps award of HND certificates by Polytechnics in Nigeria

FG scraps HND

The Nigerian Government has scrapped award of HND certificates by Polytechnics.

The decision was reached at the Federal Executive Council, FEC today where the approval of a comprehensive reform of Nigeria’s tertiary education system was made.

In effect, the award of HND will be limited to only the students currently admitted for the programmes.

Also, all the programmes currently being run by polytechnics, which are not technology-based, and which are about 70 per cent, will be scrapped.

Under the new rule, the polytechnics will now become campuses of the proximate universities with the Vice Chancellors of those universities appointing provosts for the polytechnics, subject to the ratification of the Universities Councils.

The polytechnics will now be limited to award of the National Diploma (ND) while those desirous of further education will be awarded the Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) by the proximate university.

To kick-start the new policy, the nation’s two most prominent polytechnics Yaba College of Technology and Kaduna Polytechnic will henceforth be known as City University of Technology, Yaba and City University of Technology, Kaduna.

And to give legal teeth to these approvals, the FEC approved the submission of two Executive bills to the National Assembly for enactment.

The first bill will concretise the setting up of the two city universities while the second will approve the preparation and consolidation of all federal polytechnics and colleges of education as campuses of proximate universities.

The Ministry of Justice will do the preparation and submission of the two bills to the National Assembly.

Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, told journalists after the weekly meeting of the council that under the reform measures, his ministry would, however, continue to license private polytechnics and colleges of education for the award of qualification at ND and National Certificate in Education (NCE) levels.

He said, “There will be no more award of HND. After we have exhausted the current students under the programme, there will be no more award of HND.

“This means that there will be no fresh admission for HND programmes.

“And in addition, any programme that is not technical will be out of the polytechnics.

“About 70 per cent of polytechnic graduates are in the non-technical courses. It is going to be a rigorous implementation programme.”

A ministerial committee to ensure the smooth implementation of all that is required for the take-off of the reform initiatives is to begin work immediately. Adamu said,

“The HND certificate will remain a legal tender in Nigeria and holders of such certificate will continue to be recognised as the equivalent of first degree holders without discriminatory remunerations and limit to progression in the work place.

“The NCE certificate will be retained as the minimum teaching qualification at the basic level of education.

“Any higher qualifications by these private or state-owned polytechnics will be only affiliation with a university.

“So, HND is no longer in existence, but existing HND will be respected and considered legal tender.”

Nigeria ranked 16th least peaceful Country in the world

Nigeria ranked

The report, released on Wednesday, ranked Nigeria 148 out of the total 163 countries surveyed.

Iceland is the most peaceful country, closely followed by New Zealand and Austria while Syria is ranked least peaceful, coming after Afghanistan and South Sudan respectively.

In Sub-Sahara Africa, Nigeria is ranked 40 out of 44 countries, with Mauritius topping the list, while South Sudan is ranked least.

According to the report produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), global level of peace has deteriorated by 0.27 percent in the last year, marking the fourth successive year of deterioration.

It also said the world is “less peaceful today than at any time in the last decade”.

It added that 92 countries deteriorated, while only 71 improved. Nigeria is one such countries, up one place from its 2017 ranking of 149.

In 2016, Nigeria was pegged at 149, while the figure was 151 for both 2015 and 2014.

The report said the global economic impact of violence was $14.76 trillion PPP in 2017, equivalent to 12.4 percent of global GDP, or $1,988 per person.

The report covers 99.7 percent of the world’s population and uses 23 qualitative and quantitative indicators from “highly respected sources” to compile the index. These indicators are grouped into three key domains: ‘ongoing conflict’, ‘safety and security’, and ‘militarisation’.

All three domains deteriorated over the last year.

“There’s been a gradual decline in peacefulness over the last decade,” said Steve Killelea, head of IEP.

“The reason for this slow, gradual decline in peacefulness really comes back to the conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, and the spillover effects into other areas.”

Mavin boss Don Jazzy dishes out crucial advice to all cheerful givers

The Mavin boss took to his social media to dish out a solid advice that even as it is okay to be kind to be people, there are still some people everyone needs to be wary of.

He wrote;

Popular Ghana actress send tongues wagging with raunchy birthday photos

Ghanaian actress Ella Mensah has sent eyes popping on social media with raunchy new photos of herself to celebrate her birthday.

The actress who is well known in the Nigerian movie industry is renowned to be daring with her looks and even her acting, thus these photos were somehow expected.

Photos below:

Ella Mensah in an interview with vanguard earlier this year revealed what her career has cost her;

My baby-daddy broke up with me because I’m an actress. He asked me to chose between him and acting. When I told him I wanted to act, he was like “No, no… You’ll be exposed. Every man would want to be with you because you’re famous. I can’t stand that kind of competition and pressure”. We broke up even before I started acting. My immediate ex also had problems with me because of some of the comments some men leave on social media. I was so open with my ex that he could log into my Instagram page because he has my email details and so on, so he goes through my DM.

He sees all the messages and nude pictures men sent to me here and there. Acting has broken two relationships of mine. That word ‘actress’ scares most African men, I don’t know why. Acting has cost me two break ups. It takes a man with balls to want to date an actress. I don’t blame them though, feeling insecure that every man wants to be with you, but they forget that it doesn’t matter how many men want to be with you, you want to be with just one man.

They are like “the temptation is huge and you might not be able to say ‘No’ to all the men who want you.” It’s really frustrating. Being an actress, you always have to prove to your man that you are faithful.

How I test my true friends – Actress Damilola Adegbite

Actress Damilola Adegbite

Damilola Adegbite is a beautiful Nollywood star who triples as a model and Television presenter.

Damilola rose to stardom when she played Thelema Duke in the soap opera Tinsel, and Kemi Williams in the movie Flower Girl, and since then, the only way has been up for her.

She shared a beautiful photo on her gram and gave insights on how she decides who are real friends are …

She wrote:

“Sometimes I do this little thing, I ask certain people in my life for some help, monetary or otherwise. Just to see how eager they will be to assist. We all need to be sure who to call in times of need, those who genuinely care for us, and lately, I’d rather not wait till the last minute. The older one gets, the more important it is to know who your TRUE friends are.”

“So if I ever, randomly, I mean from nowhere asked you for help, and you thought, “Hmmm, that’s really strange coming from Dami”, maybe, just maybe…it was a test ?”

Nigerian man give reason why some girls are so demanding

Nigerian man give reason

A Nigerian man has taken to his twitter account to share his thoughts on a ‘much talked about topic’..

The man, with the handle @jajaphd tweeted some reasons why girls were so dependent on their boyfriends for finances.

He tweeted:

There’s chronic poverty in the land and many families (subtly) encourage their daughters to get into relationships so that the financial responsibilities for her (and maybe the family) can be shifted to her partner.

That’s one of the reasons why some girls are so demanding.

Then there’s also greed.

Some girls are demanding simply because they are not satisfied with what they earn, own or are given by their family.

There’s also entitlement.

Some women are socialised to believe that they deserve to be taken care of by their (male) partners just because they are women. Some go farther to believe that they are entitled to stuff because they have sex with their man.

In addition, some men woo ladies by ostentatious display of wealth.

When you buy your way into the heart of a woman, you have to be ready to keep paying rent.

 

Wizkid’s Ex, Tania Omotayo, thrilled as she makes Forbes Africa’s under 30 list (Photos)

Year after year, Forbes features some of the brightest young leaders, entrepreneurs and billionaires under the 30 Under 30 list across various continents.

This year, over 90 people made the Forbes Africa 2018 list spanning across Business, Technology and Creatives.

As such, 13 Nigerians made the list including Wizkid, his ex-girlfriend Tania, Davido, Bidemi Zakariyau, Beverly Naya and Adebayo Oke-Lawal.

She took to her Instagram Page to make an emotional post in celebration.

Read below:

“I made Forbes guys Small Girl with a very big God! I still can’t believe it. For years I would talk about how I wanted to be on Forbes before I was 30, at the beginning of this year especially when I set my goals for the year, being on Forbes was one of them. And less than 6 months later, Boom Tania is on the 30 under 30 list. To think Ziva is only a year and 5 months old is actually insane.

I’ve worked sooooo hard building my business and to be recognized by Forbes is such a blessing. I quit my 9-5 job with confidence 2 months after I started Ziva because I knew I had Ziva to fall back on but never in a million years did I think we would have come this far by now. I started Ziva with a pop up, after which I continued to sell the clothes from my house. I would pack all he clothes in my boot just in case anyone ordered anything so I could deliver it from wherever i was.

I literally did everything myself for the first few months, I didn’t hire any staff until about 5 months into the business. I remember when I wanted to start so many people discouraged me, they said things like : “So many people are into fashion”,

“You studied advertising at university what do you know about fashion” ,

“This is a bad idea, you cannot be Africa’s Zara or H&M” amongst so many other things. But God sent me an angel in my friend Kiki who held my hand and taught me everything I needed to know to start a business in fashion and a year and a half later here we are. I can confidently say I am living my dreams and my best life! I love being Iya Ziva it’s one of my biggest blessings and Definitely my biggest accomplishment so far.

Thank you to everyone that has supported my business and I. I will forever be grateful .

P.S please do not ever give up on your dreams!!!! Do not ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something!”

U.S Rapper Snoop Dogg shades Ghana for failing to qualify for World Cup

U.S Rapper Snoop Dogg

Rapper, Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to shade Ghana for not qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

He shared photo collage of Nigerians in their world cup gear and an unknown man wearing a funny outfit.

The rapper captioned the post: ‘Ghanaian World Cup Gear vs Nigerian World Cup Gear.

See Photo below:

While it is all fun and games (nothing too serious), it is worthy of note that Snoop Dogg’s country i.e USA, failed to qualify for the World Cup as well (LOL).

For the first time in more than three decades, the U.S. men’s national team will not compete in the World Cup.

The stunning and surreal nature of the America’s absence is now a reality for U.S. soccer fans as the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Russia this summer, draws near.

Months after the U.S. failed to qualify, Americans perhaps have now come to terms with the fact that there will be no shot at a come-from-behind win or another extraordinary rally from U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard, who was fittingly referred to as the “Secretary of Defense” by fans at the 2014 tournament after his record-breaking game.

Yvonne Nelson and her baby daddy, Jamie Roberts split, unfollow each other on Instagram and delete photos of themselves

Yvonne Nelson & baby daddy split

It looks like Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson and her babydaddy Jamie Roberts are having some serious trouble in their relationship.

The pair who welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Ryn in October 2017 have unfollowed each other on Instagram as well as wiping all traces of themselves by deleting their photos.

Details are still sketchy as regards what exactly might have happened but there are unconfirmed reports Yvonne and Jamie who have been inseparable in the past few months have gone their separate ways.

It is also worthy of note that three days ago, Jamie who’s a British photographer, posted a pic of his kids with his former Nigerian wife, obviously to spite Yvonne .

More details soon ….

Messi is richer than Ronaldo in Latest Forbes List of Top 100 athletes

Latest Forbes List

Messi has edged out Ronaldo in this year’s latest list of top 100 earning athletes in the world.

According to the list released by Forbes Magazine, US boxer Floyd Mayweather has regained his title in the Forbes rankings of the world’s top 100 earning athletes.

He earned a $275m (£205m) for his boxing match in August against UFC star Conor McGregor, who is number four on the US business magazine’s list.

Cristiano Ronaldo – top for the past two years – drops to third, with Lionel Messi edging him out of second place.

There are no women on the list, after the previous sole entrant, Serena Williams, dropped out of the chart.

The top 100 athletes earned a total of $3.8bn, up 23% from last year, Forbes said.

F1 driver Lewis Hamilton is the top Briton at number 12 with $51m.

Mayweather – one of whose nicknames is Money – saw his sports earnings added to by $10m from endorsements.

“Boxing’s biggest night of 2017 helped Mayweather and McGregor earn nearly $400m combined,” said Kurt Badenhausen, senior editor at Forbes Media.

“But basketball players dominate the top 100 overall thanks to a soaring salary cap triggered by the NBA’s $24bn TV contract.”

He added: “Forbes’ lists of top-earning athletes have long been testosterone heavy. But there has always been at least one female athlete, and as many as three, who qualified since the list was expanded to at least 50 names in 2010. Not this year.”

The top 10

1. Floyd Mayweather – boxing ($285m)

2. Lionel Messi – football ($111m)

3. Cristiano Ronaldo – football ($108m)

4. Conor McGregor – mixed martial arts ($99m)

5. Neymar – football ($90m)

6. LeBron James – basketball ($85,5m)

7. Roger Federer – tennis ($77.2m)

8. Stephen Curry – basketball ($76.9m)

9. Matt Ryan – American football ($67.3m)

10. Matthew Stafford – American football ($59.5m)

Nigeria safe and secure — Buhari

Nigeria safe

Receiving Zurab Pololikashvili, Secretary-General of United Nations World Tourism Organisation, UNWTO, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the President said it would have been inconceivable to host an international tourism conference in Abuja four years ago because of security concerns.

He said: “I am pleased that the country is now sufficiently safe and secure, and the message should go out to the world for all tourists and business travellers. The first thing tourists look out for is security and I am happy we have it now.

“Minister, Lai Mohammed, has been trying to convince the world that Nigeria is safe and has great potentials for tourism and investment. I am glad that you and your team have come here to see things for yourself.”

The UN tourism chief is in Abuja for the 61st UNWTO Commission for Africa (CAF) conference. In his remarks, Pololikashvili commended Nigeria for the successful hosting of the conference which brings together African Ministers of Tourism, principal executives of the global tourism body and other stakeholders in the tourism sector.

He said Nigeria had huge potentialities to develop the tourism sector, considering its large economy.

He said: “We can do it in Nigeria, we can create, convert Nigeria to the main tourist destination in Africa.

“There is a huge potential here. Culture, nature, food, you have everything here.

“Also speaking, the Information and Culture Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said 166 delegates, including 26 tourism ministers from Africa, were attending the conference which ends in Abuja tomorrow.”

Police arrest birthday girl

A woman, Zainab Olatunji, has been arrested by the police for alleged conspiracy and malicious damage of two vehicles.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Olatunji on June 3, 2018, celebrated her birthday in the Papa Ashafa, Agege area of Lagos State.

Some hoodlums, who were allegedly invited by the 21-year-old, were said to have smoked hemp freely, as they wielded different kinds of weapons during the celebration.

Police arrest birthday girl for inviting hoodlums to party

The party was midway when there was a disagreement among the guests, which reportedly degenerated into a fight.

The affray was said to have led to the damage of the windscreen of a Toyota Sienna, with number plate, LSR 260 CK, and a Toyota Rav 4 with number plate, KJA229HQ, owned by residents in the area.

One of the affected car owners, Sulaiman Fajumobi, said the party was attended by over 50 guests, adding that most of them drank to stupor.

“When they had their disagreement, they started threatening passersby with machetes as they burst out into the street to continue their fight. We all stayed indoors to keep safe.

“After they left and the dust settled, I came out of my house only to discover that the windscreen of my car had been shattered by the hoodlums,” he said.

Olatunji, who was arrested for the damage after the hoodlums fled, was arraigned on Monday before an Ogba Magistrate’s Court.

She was charged with conspiracy and malicious damage.

Rapper Future slammed by Instagram model he left stranded after she refused to have sex with him

Rapper Future slammed

A Miami woman has accused Rapper Future Hendrix of leaving her stranded in Los Angeles after she refused to have sex with him.

The woman, an aspiring singer named Shamartess, claims Future asked her to take a flight to Los Angeles and he will reimburse her.

He also booked a hotel for her. She claims she has hung out with him in the studio before and he was cool, so she thought he was inviting her to LA so they could go to the studio together.

However, once she got to LA and settled in her hotel, he said he was coming over to have sex with her. When she refused to have sex with him, he had her locked out of her hotel room and never paid her back the money spent on her flight ticket.

Shamartess shared her story on Facebook and added screenshots of their chats as proof.

See Screenshot below:

Either Future booked the room for one day, and would have put her out, or he cancelled the rest of the days after learning she wasn’t trying to consummate their “relationship.” She also really thought Future was going to come up off $5500? Okay.

REVEALED: The everyday mistakes that are making your breasts sag

everyday mistakes

While some women are naturally born with saggy breasts,others are caused by a number of bad habits you could be guilty of.

Leading surgeon,Dr Dirk Kremer of Harley Street Aesthetics, told Glamour that a number of habits that you might not immediately recognise as risk factors, such as failing to apply sunscreen and sleeping on your stomach can all contribute to sagging.

Read on to find out how many mistakes you’re guilty of, and what you should do to correct them.

DON’T: Sleep on your stomach

Pressing your breasts against the mattress for hours on end won’t do them any favours, while lying on your side will cause the ligaments to stretch over time.

If you want to maintain uplift in your cleavage, then sleeping on your back is the best position.

DON’T: Rely solely on high impact exercise

According to Dr Kremer the research is not conclusive, but some experts believe that ‘back-and-forth repetitive motions that happen when you run or do a similar workout can lead to a breakdown of breast collagen.’

If you want to be on the safe side, alternate between sports such as running and lower impact exercise like swimming and yoga.

DON’T: Wear a bra all the time

A study by French researchers found that constant support can weaken chest muscles and make the breasts sag.

However, going braless all the time is likely to have the exact same effect.

The best approach is to give your breasts a break now and again and ditch your bra.

DON’T: Skip sunscreen

UV rays will stretch out collagen and damage the skin, leading to the dreaded sag.

DON’T: Crash diet

Every time you gain and lose weight, the breast tissue will become more slack.

DON’T: Smoke

Even if it’s just a few cigarettes, any smoking decreases blood supply to the surface of the skin, which will weaken and age it.

Stella Damasus replies “those killing themselves” over her Husband’s and Doris Simeon’s reunion

Stella Damasus replies

On Monday, June 4th, 2018, Stella Damasus’ husband Daniel Ademinokan got most people talking after releasing photos of a reunion meet with ex-wife Doris Simeon and son, David.

Some online users queried him for restraining Doris from her son and queried his new wife, Stella for destroying his marriage to Stella.

Well, actress and mum of two who is now in her third marriage has responded by posting a quote from Oprah Winfrey ;

If a man wants you nothing can keep him away. If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.

Then she wrote;

“You don’t need permission to love. You don’t need permission to have peace. You don’t need permission to be kind. You don’t need permission to be filled with joy. You don’t need permission to smile. These are some of the best things in life and guess what? They are FREE.

So why aren’t we grabbing as much as we can? Why choose hate instead of Love? Why choose evil instead of kindness? Why choose fights instead of peace? Why do we spend almost half our lives on the negative stuff when the positive stuff are right in front of us and they are free. I made my choice and I am loving it. What about you?”
