Here’s the Official Video and Audio to Timaya’s Banging New Collaboration with Mavins Boss – Don Jazzy. They title this one – I concur.
Apparently, the audio we initially posted was a leaked version of the song. Find below the Official Mixed/Mastered Version.
I Concur is what you call a proper Indigenous banger!
Check on it.
When I saw this news, I laughed hysterically… I don’t think the people who banned this couple have been to Nigeria before and have met my Igbo brethren… I won’t say more than that… I hope you catch my drift though… When Igbos give names like “(Surname) Success (Name)Bright”, why would Prince Williams be a problem? Lol.
A French couple have reportedly been banned from naming their son, “Prince Williams”.
The parents said they thought the connection with British royalty would be useful, but a court ruled that using ‘Prince William’ as an extended first name could lead to a ‘lifetime of mockery’.
The couple, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, then asked to use the name ‘Mini Cooper’, after the classic British car, but that too was overruled.
The court cited an article of France’s civil code, which ‘allows judges to protect a child from a potential lifetime of mockery by overruling the parents’,
In the last year, a court in Valenciennes, northern France, banned one couple from naming their daughter Nutella, after the hazelnut spread, and another from calling their baby girl, Strawberry, because both youngsters would face being mocked.
But why would you name your child “Strawberry” and not expect him to be mocked? Okay, I apologize to my Igbo brethren, they won’t name their children such… at least, not that I know of!
Some soldiers in Lagos have been reported to have allegedly pummel an Official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, a Peter Owolabi, for stopping their van at the Obanikoro Bus Stop along Ikorodu Road in Lagos.
The soldiers, who were in a black Honda Accord car with number plate, CP 839 YAB, drove through the Bus Rapid Transit lane, when they were stopped by Owolabi at the Obanikoro bus stop.
It was gathered that when the official queried them for flouting the state traffic laws, the soldiers got down from the car, and surrounded him.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the commotion, which occurred at about 6pm, drew crowd to the scene. A resident, who asked not to be named, said that when the officers, who did not have any explanation for driving on the BRT lane, were given a fine ticket meant for violators, they became infuriated, and descended on Owolabi.
She added that a LASTMA cameraman, suspected to be recording the scene, had his camera smashed by the soldiers.
She said:
“There were four soldiers in the car, including a colonel. The soldiers were with the colonel, who did not come down from the car during the fracas. The soldiers were stopped at Obanikoro for driving violating traffic law.
“They were then given a fine ticket on the spot. But the officers refused to collect the ticket and blocked the road, preventing other vehicles from entering the service lane. They dealt blows on the officer and kicked anyone with a recording device, or coming close to intervene. It lasted for about 30 minutes.
“One of the LASTMA’s cameramen was also beaten and his gadget was shattered.”
It was gathered by the publication that Owolabi, whose eyes were reportedly swollen from the beating, had been taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Bashir Braimah, confirmed the attack. He added that it was regrettable that the soldiers broke the traffic law with impunity.
He said:
“Our officials were out in a joint enforcement of the BRT lane violation. We were there with the police. It is regrettable that the soldiers violated the traffic law with impunity. They should be the custodians of law and not be working against the law.
“The law is no respecter of person, and the road traffic law must be obeyed in order to ensure the safety of lives and property. Over 15 vehicles belonging to the military violated the traffic law on Monday. Among them was a silver Toyota Matrix 103 AT fully loaded with top military personnel.
“There was also a bus belonging to the Nigeria Army College of Nursing with number plate, NA 830 BOA, an army green Peugeot with number plate, NA 284 B0/1, a silver Nissan, KTU 820 AY, a silver colour Toyota Camry, KJA 233 TB, a green Hilux truck, DHQ 232, among others.”
Braimah said the vehicles on the BRT corridors were either driven by soldiers or with military paraphernalia hanging in the vehicles.

Okay People! Here’s an Article I found interestingly Interesting.
Here are some commonly held misconceptions about fair skinned women, especially here in Nigeria:
1. Bleaching: This tops the list because light-skinned ladies are mostly tagged with the word ”Bleaching” I know some of our ladies aren’t naturally fair, and there are ways one could identify them.
The knuckles and knee are good examples. In as much as we have high rate of bleachers, there are still the ones with the natural fair complexion.
Every complexion is beautiful be it light, dark or chocolate. Maintenance is all that matters.
2. Mermaid: This sounds funny, but true. Some people have the belief that light-skinned females are from the marine world.
Maybe this belief is derived from our Nollywood movies, whereby a light-skinned lady is allowed to play the character of a mermaid, while the dark-skinned one is given the role of a witch.
If you’re light-skinned and no one ever accused you of being a mermaid, then you’ve never been to Nigeria.

Quite Controversial Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim in a Recent Chat with Pulse TV talked about how much she enjoys being an actress, a director and a producer.
The actress who recently caused quite a stir when she revealed she sees nothing wrong in Lesbianism stated that she is a very creative person and that helps her while directing.
“I have plans of directing a movie, and even many more movies. Directing is where I find myself now, and I’m very very creative, she started.
“I found myself on set years ago when I started acting, trying to tell the director I was working with, how to shoot a particular scene. So, that’s how I knew my calling. I knew that I was very creative, and that I might as well put it into work, she said.
“I derive joy in acting and being behind the camera. As an actor, you bring out a side of you that people don’t get to see, and then you use your talent to be able to make someone at home to be touched by whatever that character is going through”
She continued; As a director, you are the one who is going to put that story of that character into character. Without you the director, the actor cannot give what you want the audience to feel. As a producer, without you going out there to look for funds to produce a movie, there’s not going to be a movie. So, everything works together.
