NBC Denies Banning Olamide, Davido & 9ice’s Music

nbc denies banning music

In an interview with The Cable, the director of broadcast monitoring, NBC, Idachaba Armstrong, has said it is the responsibility of the TV stations to ensure offensive songs don’t air.

He said the ban notice on ‘Wo’ and ‘Wavy Level’ by Olamide, ‘Fall’ by Davido and ‘Living Things’ by 9ice did not come from the commission.

He said:

“First of all, NBC is a commission, not a corporation. Nobody at NBC issued a statement to the effect. We can’t be issuing a statement on every album released in this country. The broadcaster has the responsibility to do the needful. NBC does not ban songs, we don’t have any business with the artists. It is left for NBC to tell stations to ensure the songs and videos are fit for broadcast before putting them on air.
It is the responsibility of broadcasters to ensure they don’t come on air. They are supposed to do what is called gate-keeping and they should have editorial control over their content but broadcasters now carelessly air songs without exercising that editorial discretion. They abdicate that responsibility and then expect us to start chasing them. ‘The songs are actually offensive.”
Speaking further, Idachaba said “I have reliably gathered that some of those songs are actually offensive, regarding the lyrics. Some of these songs are for clubs. These stations that should practice self-regulation are lazy and unprofessional in their conduct.”
The NBC official said broadcast stations that air offensive songs would be fined by the commission.
“We will impose the necessary sanctions on the stations. If the stations contravene any of the broadcast code, they will be fined. Once NBC picks it up, we call the stations to order and impose the necessary fine. First, we caution you, then impose a fine afterward, which can be between 50-100k. But if they are recalcitrant, it can rise to 500k.”

The Federal Ministry of Health Nigeria has also issued a statement saying it’s not in their jurisdiction to ban songs from airing.

Olamide has also stated that he never intended to promote tobacco use and violating Tobacco Control Act 2015.

Tonto Dikeh who had on several occasions made it clear that she is for the Lord and nothing can stop her new found faith, has taken to her Instagram page to share some deep words of advice for everyone.

The beautiful mom of one who rocked a pretty orange dress that saw her kissing her image in the mirror, penned a lengthy spiritual and motivational post advising people never to give up on their dreams and goals in life.

She wrote:

When God changes the rule for your sake, IT STIRS SPECIAL MERCY/FAVOUR: Matthew 12:4 says: “How he (David) entered into the house of God, and did eat the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?” That means in the days of David, the rule was that only the priest could eat of that special bread called showbread. But David in his desperate condition and state of acute hunger when he was running away from King Saul broke this rule and yet survived. He did not only survive, those that were with him survived. Oh! The grace of God! David and his crew would have dropped dead if Jehovah God did not BULLDOZE away the rules! I decree today: the special mercy that David enjoyed shall come like a mighty flood over your life, family and ministry in Jesus name! In this second half of the year, the God who changed the rule for Daniel’s sake and whose enemies were eaten up in his place, shall cause your enemies to fall into the trap they have set for you. In this closing month of the year, the God that changed the rule for Joseph’s sake and he possessed the Double Portion that was meant for the first born Reuben, shall also cause the special favour of Double Double to overtake you. I see rules changing in your favour! I see every protocol that will stop you, being bulldozed by the Holy Ghost! I see special mercy locating your name! I see special favour locating your children, loved ones and helpers just as it was done to those who ate the showbread with David and survived. Refuse to give up now. Hold on and hold out!

Actress Foluke Daramola comes for Olamide, Davido and 9ice

Actress Foluke Daramola comes

Nollywood Actress, Foluke Daramola has reacted to the news that NBC banned top songs, “If, Fall, Wo, Wavy Level and Living Thing”.

The actress called on Davido, Olamide and 9ice and she of course, scolded them. Read what she wrote below;

As much as I love these fantastic talented artists and I don’t have anything against them but 1st we are Africans though our now has been taken care of, but what’s going to happen to our kids and the ones yet unborn, our future? !

I don’t believe technological advancement should make us drop what we stand for. whatever we do today we should always consider our tomorrow when doing them. ..Can ur children relate with what u do now ,what values are those songs impacting to our society?

When I was of a marriage able age and I bring a man home to my mum she would ask me who he is,what he does for a living (even when it’s obvious he has money)what family he comes from and so on

But now what’s the criterion of looking for a spouse either male or female? I can mention but a few , money ,money and loads of money..???!!!!

We are fast losing our value system, We complain about our leaders and how corrupt they are but we also forget in a hurry that our leaders are a representation of what a society is and it starts with the mind, Hence my bible tells me 1ce the foundation is shaky what can the righteous do? To get TRUE change it starts with the mind, our children are too fickle minded and too vulnerable to be exposed to what we are inputting into them plssssssss

Like I said I don’t have any form of animosity toward this wonder guys I love their music from the selfish point of view but am too deep and concerned about my future (my kids) than now

And this is my take @olukayodesalako

Fiancé of lady who agreed to marry her partner without dating him speaks out

Few days back, a Nigerian Lady came out to advise her fellow ladies and urged them to date men for at least 2 days before agreeing to marry them.

The lady, apparently, shared photos from her instroduction ceremony, while revealing that her marriage to her Malaysia-based ex-future-husband crashed, as she never dated him to know him better.

Her ex-husband who has now been identified as Emeka Augustine (E-money) has broken his silence on the issue, while also revealing that she dumped her and not her dumping him, and his reasons being that she allegedly refused to stop prostituting and had their baby aborted.

He wrote;

Since the anger in my heart and poor signal did not allow me to finish up the story very well, I have decided to write some part of the story about this stupid Okibe Olivia who have been mislead by her mother and co.

I have done my possible best to take care of this prostitude, but all my effort to make her be my woman proves abortive. She is the wast thing that have ever happen to me in my entire life. I never regret anything because life is a lesson.

In addition, this girl was dumped by me because she refuse to stop her prostitution work after I came into her life. I accepted her as a prostitude even when my friends advise me not to. Her picture is number one picture in Toscana and some other hotels in Enugu although she always fool people around her; pretending to be a good girl. She knows that I have all evidence, she cannot have the courage to come to me physically.

I accepted to marry the idiot even after I confirmed that she is a prostitude, my problem with her was that she refused to stop the work. She pretend that she will not remain idle since she was the one that use to take care of her family ever since her father died.

However, she said to me that she is not yet done with her runs of a thing; which means that I have no wife yet till when she is done. However, I tried to give the idiot little chance to coordinate her way; but she still fail to balance the equation. Then i decided to let her go. She promised to abort her pregnancy, I was not worried about the abortion because I know that she is used to that already.

Due to love I have for her as of that time not now anymore; I decided to visits her again in Esut after 5 days; but when I met the idiot, she have finally aborted the child. That was the last chance for her; then I told her that she will pay for all her evil.

She is already paying for her evils.

Her mother which supposed to be my mother in-law is the wast woman that you can ever deal with in life. She was the one that spoilt her female kids. All of them have gone astray. The woman is also a slay grand mama. Her nick name is ‘mama G’.

In conclusion, the young lady is not yet ready to marry, she wanna continue playing games with men from different location; but my own case brought an end to all they games.

I advised other Malaysian men to go and try they own luck may be it might favour them; as for me , am done for a very long time. I will advise you little girl to desist from using my name in your fake stories; because of you continue, I might deal with you little rat legally.

I have tried my possible me best to help your life. I helped you because your a poor small girl; but your u grateful, you fool people around you, telling them so many lies. Most of them are wise, they know that your a fool and chip liar. Some of them fall for your chip lies; but that is never my business.

You said that I want to use you for a ritual right ? You are an ungrateful human being; continue making fool of yourself in a social network; but don’t mention my name again.

I am done with you 100%. Go and look for other Malaysian men; they will finally find out what you are then they will still ran away. You can never change nah, neither will your mother change.

I will not open up any of your dirty shit here; so don’t be scared. I am a wise man; not stupid like you.
I am sorry for any pain I might have caused anyone due to my anger. May the gentle soul of your father rest in peace. He is a good man, I know that if he a life, all those things will not be happening to his children.

I wish you good luck to your future clients all over the world. Electronic Money reporting.

Barcelona sues Neymar for £8m over alleged breach of contract

Barcelona sues Neymar

Spanish club, Barcelona are suing Neymar for €8.5million (£7.8m) over an alleged ‘breach of contract’ caused by his world-record £198m transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in France.

The club is demanding Brazilian striker return a loyalty bonus paid after he renewed his Barcelona contract last October, less than a year before he signed for PSG.

The Spanish club also wants an additional 10 per cent of that €8.5m as ‘interest’ they claim is owed due to a delay in repaying them the sum.

According to the club, a lawsuit was first served to the player on August 11 and if Neymar is unable to pay up the sum, PSG should.

A club statement read: ‘FC Barcelona has sent the labour claim it made at a Barcelona labour court on August 11 to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) so that they can pass it on to the French Football Federation and FIFA, for legal purposes.

‘In this claim, the club demands the player pay back a renewal bonus for a failure to honour his contract; €8.5m in damages and an additional 10 per cent in arrears.

‘The club also demands that Paris Saint-Germain subsidise the payment of these amounts in the event that the player can not take responsibility for them.

‘FC Barcelona has promoted these actions in defence of its interests, after the unilateral rescission of the contract initiated by Neymar Jnr a few months after the signing of its renewal until 2021.’

The legal battle was made known after Neymar who scored twice on his home debut for PSG on Sunday slammed his former club directors in an interview.

‘When I arrived, everything started well, but at Barcelona, there are directors that shouldn’t be there. I’m very sad with them.’

Bayelsa Constituents Threaten To Recall Senator Murray-Bruce.

bayelsa constituents threaten senator murray bruce

Angry constituents of Bayelsa East Senatorial District of Bayelsa State, comprising mainly students, have threatened to begin a process of recalling Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, representing the constituency in the Senate.

Murray-Bruce’s constituency which comprises Nembe, Brass and Ogbia local government areas of the state, accused the ‘common sense’ Senator of neglecting them as well as having no plans for his constituency.

Leaders of student bodies which was signed by Samuel Tari (Nembe), Ambrose Joseph (Brass) and Mark John (Ogbia) for the three LGAs dropped their recall threat in a statement on Tuesday.

They lamented that the Senator was not in good relationship with his people and had allegedly continued to shy away from his constitutional responsibilities.

They cried out that the senator was donating relief materials to people in other states whereas his own constituents were wallowing in abject poverty with many students from the constituency unable to pay their school fees.

Besides, they (constituents) claimed that since Senator Murray-Bruce was elected as their representative in the National Assembly, he had yet to visit his people.

They said:

“Since Murray-Bruce became a senator, he has failed to look into the basic needs and challenges currently bedeviling the Bayelsa East Senatorial District, such as issues of education, as most of our students cannot access good quality education.

“He has failed to attract a single project to the district in terms of infrastructures, roads, and others. He has continuously and deliberately ignored efforts by the people to create a working relationship that will bring out purposeful leadership for our people.

“He has yet to fulfill any of his campaign promises; painfully, he is an Abuja-based Senator. He refuses to visit his constituents, except only once when he visited his hometown and couldn’t even stay for up to four hours.

“Sincerely, we are tired, other places are enjoying the benefits that come from having a national representative. Our case has been a curse rather than a blessing. We are just like a district without a senator. This why we have decided to change that narrative”.

The student leaders have, therefore, given the Senator a 10-day ultimatum, to change his ways or face consistent protest and the recall process.

They asked the senator to organize a town hall meeting with his constituents and take out time to tour his constituency in order to know their basic challenges.

The constituents added:

“We are, hereby, giving him an ultimatum of 10 days, starting from August 21, 2017. If he fails to meet with us, we shall take our protest to the National Assembly.

“We will mobilize all the students, our mothers, and our fathers. We will initiate his recall process. Our people deserve a better treatment from him. We request to have a town hall meeting.”

However, the Personal Assistant to the Senator, Mr. William Bruce, said the allegation was untrue, stressing that Senator Murray-Bruce is a man of the people.

William said Murray-Bruce had been offering assistance to many people including his constituents as much as he could.

The Senator’s PA stated:

”We do for people as much as we can all the times. They (those complaining) have not come to approach us for any help or anything. We try as much as possible to help everybody in everywhere in whichever way we can.

”We have been offering assistance to people who call us for help every day. If they want to have a meeting with the Senator, they can have a meeting. What are they complaining about the Senator? Have they approached the Senator? If they say he is not having plans for his constituency, is that possible?

”With all the things we have done is that possible? We have done a lot of things and put them on the radio for everybody to hear.

”That (allegation) is far from it. However, we would like to see them. They will have a meeting with the Senator. The Senator loves people generally. What we will like to do is to meet the people who have complained and take it from there.”

Barcelona Set To Sue Neymar For €8.5million For Breach Of Contract.

The Brazilian completed a £199m move to PSG earlier this summer but Barcelona are ready to take legal action.

barcelona sue neymar

Futbol Club Barcelona have announced they will sue former star and Brazilian superstar, Neymar, who completed a world-record £199million switch to PSG earlier this summer, for failing to fulfil his contract.

The La Liga giants are claiming the sum of €8.5m (£7.8m) from last year’s loyalty bonus, plus a further 10 percent in arrears.

Barca have filed their official complaint to the Spanish Federation. The amount corresponds to the bonus included in Neymar’s contract when it was extended last October.

The Club statement reads:

‘FC Barcelona has sent the labour claim it made at a Barcelona labour court on August 11 to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) so that they can pass it on to the French Football Federation and FIFA, for legal purposes.

‘In this claim, the club demands the player pay back a renewal bonus for a failure to honour his contract; €8.5m in damages and an additional 10 per cent in arrears.

‘The club also demands that Paris Saint-Germain subsidise the payment of these amounts in the event that the player can not take responsibility for them.

‘FC Barcelona has promoted these actions in defence of its interests, after the unilateral rescission of the contract initiated by Neymar Jnr a few months after the signing of its renewal until 2021.’

The legal battle was made known after Neymar who scored twice on his home debut for PSG on Sunday slammed his former club directors in an interview.

‘When I arrived, everything started well, but at Barcelona, there are directors that shouldn’t be there. I’m very sad with them.’

PSG are likely to intervene, rather than the player himself pay the sum.

Nigeria Ranks 3rd In Global Cyber Crimes Behind UK, U.S

nigeria ranks 3rd global cyber crimes

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has revealed that Nigeria currently ranks third globally in cyber crimes behind the UK and the U.S.

This was disclosed by the NCC’s Chief Executive Officer, Prof. Umar Danbatta, on Tuesday at the ongoing 2017 Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association in Lagos.

Danbatta, at a breakout session with the sub-theme: “The Business of Cyber Law, Internet Policy and Privacy Rights”, moderated by a former NBA President, Mr. Augustine Alegeh (SAN), said the number of internet users in Nigeria has hit 91.6 million.

He said:

“About N127 billion was the estimated loss to cyber crime in Nigeria in 2015; Nigeria ranks third in global internet crimes behind the UK and U.S.

“A critical factor militating against Africa’s economic resurgence is the weakness of its institutions.

“Nigeria ranks 169 out of 199 on the World Bank’s ease of doing business rankings; we are in a middle of a revolution and the rise of what we call the networked society.

“The NCC stipulates the laws of engagement that will make the cyberspace safe and ensure the confidence as well as the safety of the cyberspace,”

“There are benefits and risks of the use of cyberspace and both have to be properly managed.”

“During the course of his interview, Mr. Donald Amamgbo told us that he registered the 18 companies to assist Mrs. Diezani Alison Madueke in holding titles of the properties.”

Mayana averred that a principal manager and head, business development of FBN Mortgages Ltd, Mrs. Bolanle Onotu, confirmed that the properties were sold by her organisation to Diezani’s alleged four proxy firms for N937m, N928m and N650m and received payment through First Bank account numbers 2004483850 and 2008133531 between September 23, 2011, and June 16, 2015.

“First Bank of Nigeria Plc stated that the source of the money was from Mrs. Diezani Alison Madueke and that the bank picked up United States dollars from her house at 10, Frederick Chiluba Close off Jose Marti Street, Asokoro, Abuja,” Mayana added.

He said a total of $16,041,906 was picked up by the bank at Diezani’s house between September 29, 2011, and April 4, 2013, and converted to Naira.

THE NIGERIAN CRIMINALS, WHO GIVE NIGERIA THE BAD NAME: THE CASE OF UDE UCHE UDE

Last night, a Nigerian lady, by name, Comfort, contacted me and DPA to request help against her husband who had duped her in a big marriage fraud.

The man’s name is Ude Uche Ude. The gist of it is that Ude traveled to America and contracted fraudulent marriage in America for green card purpose. For his scheme to work, two women were duped. He duped Comfort in Nigeria and duped the American woman he used for his fraudulent green card.

In her lamentation, Comfort said:

“I need an advice from you Sir please help me. I married legally to a man by name Ude Uche Ude. He went to USA for in search of a greener pasture. On reaching to USA one thing led to another. He picked a lady there as a wife and he divorce me without my knowledge or consent.

“After the incident he told me to go a head and remarry that he has divorced our marriage. Okay, give me the divorce paper, never, help me to stand own my own no way. He is doing well as a Pharmacist in USA.”

I decided to investigate the complaint of Comfort. (Remember you always urge me to hear the other side, against my better judgment that the other side is usually too rooguish to be heard yet). I called Ude Uche Ude. I was as polite as I could be. He attacked me.

You don’t have to be a lawyer to understand that if Comfort is right, Ude has committed a serious crime in the United States. Is it not surprising that Ude would be threatening me?

The underscore the criminal conduct of Ude, Comfort queried:

“He came to USA as a married man. What happened to the married?”

This is a very legutimate question. Without properly divorcing Comfort, he remains married to her and his marriage to the American lady will be void. And every immigration benefit obtained based on false marriage will be ultimately invalid.

I have provided the pictures of Ude Uche Ude for our members who may recognize him. I also provided screenshots of my sms exchange with him.

I’m fully interested in this case and apparently, this is the type man I enjoy dealing with.

“People Want To Take Photos With You, But Won’t Go To The Cinema To See Your Movie” – Omoni Oboli

omoni oboli movie

Nigerian Actress and Producer, Omoni Oboli, has taken to social media to share her thoughts on those who want to take photos with her but would not go to the cinema to see her movies.

The 39-year-old trained digital filmmaker who has reportedly grossed about N161m from Okafor’s Law and Wives On Strike, revealed that there are some movies made for Nigerian cinema and there are home video movies.

She wrote:

Some people really don’t know how to talk or they just feel like they don’t care. Sometimes, people say stuff like ‘I don’t watch Nollywood films.’ ‘Why should I pay to see your film?’ ‘How can I come to the cinema to watch home video?’
I’m like ‘it’s not home video, there’s a difference.’ There are some made for cinema Nigerian movies and there are home video movies. So, if you’re watching it in the cinema, it’s a made for cinema Nigerian film.
It’s quite difficult convincing some people. Some people have their minds made up, there’s nothing you’re going to say to them. They won’t watch your movie. Some of those people, after not watching your film, will want to take a picture with you.
