Why I forgave Kemi Olunloyo –Seyi Law

Seyi Law Kemi Olunloyo

Popular comedian and father of one, Seyi Law, who, last month, was involved in a messy internet spat with controversial blogger, Kemi Olunloyo, when the latter went on the Internet to claim that Seyi’s daughter is obese.

However, the duo have finally reached a truce as they both took to their social media pages to declare a ceasefire.

In a chat with Sunday Scoop, the ace comedian explained why he decided to bury the hatchet.

He said

“I didn’t have anything personal against Kemi Olunloyo; I only responded as a father because I would do anything to protect my daughter. Kemi recorded a video in which she begged my daughter to forgive her and that’s okay by me. It means she understands that she did something wrong and she is trying to make amends,” .

 

Meanwhile he also revealed his reason why he would not be staging his comedy show, Fast and Funny, this year,

Seyi Law said,

“I have been very busy lately and as a result of that, I haven’t been able to work on organising the show. Though I have a team that works together with me in planning, my schedule hasn’t made it convenient for me.”

Moment Mayweather Won As He Knocked Out Mcgregor In The 10th Round

Undefeated champion, Floyd Mayweather has extended his unbeaten run to 50-0 as he trounced his opponent Conor McGregor in the 10th round.

Floyd Mayweather extended his perfect career record to 50 fights unbeaten by stopping Conor McGregor in the 10th round of one of the richest fights in boxing history.

At a packed-out T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the former five-weight world champion faced flurries of early punches from UFC’s most iconic figure, who was making his debut in professional boxing.

Mayweather Won

McGregor delivered a crisp uppercut in round one and, though he edged close to breaking rules with several punches to the back of the head, he imposed himself admirably without ever looking as though he would knock out Mayweather.

The American, who came out of retirement for a potential $300m (£230m) pay day, executed a gameplan which pounced on McGregor’s lack of conditioning for the late rounds which prove so key on big fight nights.

As the Irishman tired, Mayweather upped his ferocity and by round nine the 40-year-old began to stalk his opponent, whose legs were weakening under more successful shots.

Mayweather Won

And in the 10th, with McGregor again near the ropes and offering little, the fight – which followed weeks of manic build-up, spiteful words and chaos – was over.

Referee Robert Byrd’s stoppage may have arrived too early for some, as McGregor’s early effort meant he was in the contest on the scorecards.

But the 29-year-old was wilting. His effort and display should be commended, but Mayweather’s poise and invincibility remains constant into retirement.

IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Reacts To Plans By FG To Revoke His Bail.

Nnamdi Kanu Claims

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has reacted to the Federal Government’s plan to revoke his bail.

The Attorney General of the Federation and Chief Justice of Nigeria, Abubakar Malami, filed an application at the Federal High Court Abuja yesterday, asking the court to revoke Kanu’s application because he has disobeyed his bail conditions. Kanu was granted bail on April 25th and was released from Kuje prison on April 28th.

Reacting to the news of the planned revocation of his bail, Kanu who spoke through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said the application by the Federal government is misconceived. Ejiofor who had an interview with Premiumtimes, said,

“Though we intend to file a formal response to their most misconceived motion, it is my position that it does not lie in the power of the AG to ask for the revocation of the bail granted to my client. The prosecution can’t be seen at the same time as the persecutors. We have successfully challenged the bail terms we considered offensive to our clients constitutionally guaranteed rights. So their recent application is belated. Section 169 of the ACJA being relied upon by the AG can’t avail the Attorney General absolute power to ask for the revocation of bail. Parties must be heard on the merit by the court” he said

According to Ejiofor, Kanu did not go against the Constitution in the creation of IPOB’s “security outfit” known as the Biafra Secret Service BSS. According to Ejiofor, BSS is a “mere group” formed in the exercise of Kanu’s constitutional right.

“Let the federal government open their case if they have any genuine charge against my client. They are beating about the bush because they have no case against my client,” Mr. Ejiofor said.

Speaking further, Kanu’s lawyer said,

“Let me remind the public that the main essence of bail is to ensure that the person affected stands his trial and nothing more. Our client is ready to stand his trial but the federal government is not willing to open their case, they are rather interested in keeping my client behind bars which can’t happen again.”

“I’m Honoured To Be Compared With The Likes Of Olamide” – MI Abaga

MI Abaga

Chocolate City Boss, MI Abaga, has in a new interview with Saturday Beats, shared why it took him so long to drop a new album and how he sees being compared to some big-weights in the Nigerian music industry, as a compliment.

In his own words:

“The truth about it is that the CEO work has been harder than I thought and it has taken a lot of time from me. Also, when you become a brand, you have brand commitments as well. My contract with Glo expired this year even though I have been working with them for seven years and I had been their ambassador for five years. We had to go for interviews, tours, shoot commercials, then you come back and you do the same thing for Martel. Then, I have friends that would want you to feature in their concerts. So, as a brand, it became tougher. Once an artiste gets to the point where he becomes a brand, it becomes tougher for him.
“I have about five projects in my heart that I want to do because I am getting older and once I am done with that I would probably leave,” he said.

Speaking on effortlessly remaining relevant in the industry and being compared to the successful younger acts in the industry, M.I says,

“I am ten years in the industry since my first song came out in Lagos in 2007 because that’s when Crowd Mentality was released. It is an ultimate compliment for me to be compared with the likes of Olamide, Phyno, Ice Prince and others that came out after me. If you think about my first five years, I was really hot but as you get older, you get tired of saying some things. It is very hard for me to write a song about being in the club. If you hear some certain artistes sing about being in the club, you would say that you’d prefer a younger artiste to sing about that,” he said.

Ex-husband of a 72-yr-old British Grandmum who married a 27 year old Nigerian cries out.

The ex husband of Angela Nwachukwu – the 72-year-old British gran who spent £20,000 trying to get a visa for her 27-year-old Nigerian husband – expressed concerns that she was “being scammed”.

Donald Neate, 71, described the grandmother-of-six as “gullible” as she continues to fight for her husband – who is 45 years her junior – to be allowed into the country.

Angela, from Dorset, had been single for six months before her now-husband CJ added her on Facebook and messaged her to compliment her on her profile picture. A month after they started messaging, CJ proposed to Angela over Skype.

Donald, who separated from Angela 18 years ago, told the Daily Mail: “The first time I knew about it was when I read the papers. She has been scammed by a man who just wants to get into the country.”

He also expressed concern that she would have to deal with the consequences of her actions. Angela insists CJ is her soulmate, and since they married has spent £20,000 visiting him and trying to get him into the UK.

The gran of six was ­devastated when CJ was denied a visa – but says their marriage is solid despite the 4,000 miles between them. Angela, a retired taxi driver, told The Sun: “CJ is the most caring man any woman could want to be with.

Angela said there is ‘amazing chemistry’ between her and CJ “He makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. I know in my heart we belong together and we won’t stop fighting until we can be together as husband and wife.

We won’t let this break us. After the wedding, I found it hard leaving CJ. I knew I’d see him again soon but my family visa application was rejected. I was so determined to get him a visa I hired lawyers to fight for us. I’ve since visited him twice.”

American Man Accused Of Fraud Begs To Leave Kirikiri Prison

American Man Accused

An American national, Marco Ramirez, who allegedly defrauded 3 Nigerians of $565,000 on the false pretense of obtaining a green card for them, has approached the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja to beg for variation of his bail conditions in order for him to leave Kirikiri prison where he had been remanded.

Ramirez, on Friday, August 25, 2017, told Justice Ganiyu Safari, the presiding vacation judge, that his health condition was deteriorating in the Kirikiri prison hence the need for a condition he could easily meet.

His counsel, Ademola Adefolaju, prayed the court for an order to allow him to bring a directorate cadre in the Lagos State Civil Service as a substitute for an earlier order that a director in a reputable company in Nigeria should stand surety for him.

However, Justice Safari was of the view that since the anti-graft was not aware of today’s proceedings, the matter is better adjourned and a new date of hearing served on the prosecutor. He adjourned the hearing of the application till Monday, 28th of August, 2017.

Federal Government Asks Court To Revoke IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s Bail.

Nnamdi Kanu Claims

Nnamdi Kanu's Bail

The Federal Government has filed an application at the Federal High Court Abuja seeking the revocation of the bail granted to leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu on the 25th of April this year.

In the application which was filed by the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, the Federal government cited disobedience of the bail conditions granted to Kanu as part of the reasons for its request.

In a Motion on Notice, the government is seeking an order of the court “directing the arrest and committing the 1st defendant to custody pending trial”.

Kanu and some members of his group are standing trial for conspiracy to commit acts of treasonable felony, treasonable felony and other related offences at the court, offences that the government said are not ordinarily bailable.

Also in the application, the Federal government said the IPOB leader had violated the terms of his bail conditions, which include that he should not be seen in a crowd exceeding 10 people; he should not grant any interviews, hold or attend any rallies; and that he should file in court medical updates of his health status every month.

Other grounds for the government’s application are that “rather than observing all of the conditions listed above, the 1st defendant in flagrant disobedience to the court order flouted all conditions of the bail; the first defendant has in furtherance to the offence (for which) he was charged, inaugurated Biafra Security Service; and that such an act is a grave threat to national security and unity of the country”.

Joined in the application with Kanu are: Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Bright Chimezie.

Kanu was granted bail on April 25th and was released from Kuje prison on April 28th.

Mr Ugolee was phenomenal with his contribution to the growth of the Nigerian music industry. Many wish him a speedy recovery.

“Secular Gospel Songs Should Be Used For Praises & Worship In Various Churches” – Rapper, Obrafour

rapper obrafour

Ghanaian Rapper, Michael Elliot Kwabena Okyere aka Obrafour, has admitted he doesn’t see why Christians should label or judge some artistes and their songs as profane or secular that cannot be used to glorify God in the various churches.

Speaking in an inspiring conversation with DJ Roar, the host of Kumasi based Kessben FM’s Entertainment Cirkle via telephone, the rapper claims that so long as the lyrical content portrays the Holiness of God, it should qualify to be used during Church service.

According to him, the Bible nowhere condemns any particular style of music. Thus, there is no biblical basis to declare any particular style of music to be secular or outside of God’s will.

He, therefore, dares Christians to stop judging and leave everything to our maker.

He said:

“The reality is that, so long as the lyrical content portrays the Holiness of God, it should qualify to be used during Church service. I don’t know why Christians brings in the various divisions. What does secular means? Meanwhile, the so called ‘gospel musicians’ and the secular ones all dwells on planet earth. See, the lifestyle of some secular musicians are more pleasing to God than the so called gospel artistes”.

“Everything depends on the heart. Christians have no right to categorize songs as gospel and secular. Per Biblical evidence, David was supposed to be killed after seducing Bathsheba but God saved him. This means, only God has the right to judge. The same Christians are present at clubs, so what they’re doing is a mere hypocrisy at the zenith level”.

This assertion by Obrafour presupposes that his current inspiring song titled “Aseda” should be used by Christians during Church service.

“Don’t borrow to celebrate Eid El-Kabir” – Professor of Islamic Studies

islamic studies professor

A professor of Islamic Studies, Badmas Lanre Yusuf, has warned Muslims against obtaining loans to buy animals for the Eid-el Kabir festivity.

In a sermon during a congregational prayer at Hilal Crescent Mosque, Ilorin, Kwara State, Professor Yusuf stated that Allah has not imposed on the believers tasks that are beyond their capacities.

The don, who is the immediate past Dean of Postgraduate School, University of Ilorin, said God has not commanded His servants to kill animals during the festivity except those among them who have the resources to do so.

The scholar, who told the history of the celebration of the Eid-el Kabir Festival and the imperativeness of sacrificing animals, said Allah has nothing to do with the blood of slaughtered animals but the intentions of those making the offerings.

He said:

“Islam makes things simple for its adherents. There is no condition attached to what we are doing in our religion. Ileya (Eid festival) is around the corner. It is a common knowledge that Muslims are preparing to buy animals for sacrifice during the festival.

“We have been given prescription on how to go about it. Almighty Allah has not conditioned us to sacrifice animals during the festival if we are not capable of doing it.
“What matters most is the intention behind whatever we do. There are instances that some people, all in the name of killing animals during the festival, will go as far as obtaining loans through the cooperative or bank. This is not acceptable. We should act within our own confines.

“We need to make it clear that Allah does not give us a responsibility or a task that we cannot accomplish. Therefore, we need to be cognizant of this in whatever we do in life.

“On the sacrifice of animals during the festival, some people used to misconstrue the intention as if we are performing ritual like other religions. We don’t do that in Islam. What we are doing is in line with the deed of our spiritual leader, Prophet Ibrahim. We must also make it clear that Almighty Allah has nothing to do with the blood of the animals we sacrifice”
