LATE  PROPHET OBADARE TO BE BURIED IN AUGUST

 

 
The late evangelist passed on in March.
The family of the late Timothy Obadare, said on Thursday in Akure, the Ondo State capital that he would be buried in August.
Abraham Obadare, one of the sons of the late cleric and a pastor, said that arrangements are still ongoing to organise a befitting burial for their father in August.
The son said that the place where their father would be buried was yet to be determined.
He, however, said that the family would not want their father to be idolised.
“There have been suggestions on where the late evangelist should be buried but we are still praying on it.
“We will definitely want him to be honoured, but not to be idolised because we do not want them to shift focus from God.
“The burial will be done in such a way that people can go to the place and pray if they wish and for the purpose of history as the case may be,” he said.
Abraham added that the burial arrangements would be communicated in due course.
Timothy Obadare, a renowned evangelist and founder of the World Soul Winning Evangelical Mission, WOSEM, died on March 21 after battling an undisclosed ailment.

Empire Mates Entertainment, EME chairman, Banky W says the recording deal that his label provides is the best in the country.

This, the R&B singer told soft sell tabloid, City People, when he was asked if the sharing formula was responsible for Wizkid’s alleged decision to leave the label.

‘EME has the fairest recording deal in the country by far. I can go pound for pound and show you the terms that EME artistes including myself even though I own the company, have versus any other recording contract name the recording company. You don’t do that but I can beat my chest to say EME has the best recording contract in the industry, it is not just true for people to say or hint that any of my artistes are receiving 25%’, Banky W stated.

Still insisting that Wizkid is still a part of the family, Banky also claimed that the EME contract favours the artiste more than the label thereby dispelling the rumour that the youngster’s decision to seek another management and establish his ‘Starboy’ label was based on a ‘sharing-formular’ that Wizkid felt was no more favourable to him.

The issue of Wizkid quitting EME has been a focus of discussion for sometime now, even though both parties are yet to officially address the many questions or convince teeming fans that all is well

 FACEBOOK HOME; ZUCKERBERG'S ANDROID TAKEOVER

 


Mark Zuckerberg wants to turn your Android phone into a simple, sharing device. And by that, he means he wants to turn it into a Facebook phone.
Facebook just announced its newest product, Facebook Home, which all but turns any Android handset into a “Facebook phone” by putting the social giant right there on the home screen and all of its products at the forefront of the UI. It isn’t a phone made by Facebook. It’s actually something better than that, and in some ways, more important: a deeply integrated application with its hooks set tightly into the Android platform.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been hinting at this route for years, all while combating Facebook phone rumors. A phone is “so clearly the wrong strategy for us,” he said in 2012. And he’s right. Facebook can’t take on Apple and Samsung, or even Microsoft and BlackBerry, for that matter. Making hardware is a lot of work, and that kind of work doesn’t make sense for Facebook right now. Instead, the social network is making sure that it can be as front-and-center as possible on all the most popular platforms today.

MEET JANET JACKSON'S HUSBAND WISSAM AL MANA

When the news broke of Janet Jackson's secret marriage to billionaire Wissam Al Mana, the first question on your mind may have been "Who is Wissam Al Mana?" For a wealthy fashion tycoon in a relationship with one of the world's biggest super stars, Wissam keeps a pretty low profile.

Running the family business with his two brothers, Wissam has built a luxury empire in the middle east. Al Mana Retail represents such high end brands as Giorgio Armani, Hermes, Balenciaga, and Roberto Cavalli. Al Mana also owns stakes in the Saks Fitfh Avenue stores in Dubai, Bahrain, and Kuwait, and is opening the flagship A/X Exchange in a Qatar shopping mall. Wissam's net worth is estimated at $1 billion.

Wissam, who at 37-years-old is nine years Janet's junior, once told Harper's Bazaar Arabia he grew up in London and got a job in retail at the age of 14. The rest was history.

In November 2011, Al Mana had this to say to VMAN magazine about his special lady: "I don't date Janet Jackson. She is my girlfriend; there is a difference. She is a very special and talented woman who never ceases to amaze me." Talk about Prince Charming.

What's even more likable about this guy? His late father is his role model.  "My father was a very humble and down to earth man, and was known for being very honest and trustworthy," Wissam told Bazaar Arabia. "He taught us many great values such as to treat our employees with dignity and respect."

He also shared with the mag about his dream woman, who just so happens to be Jackson. "I think a man's dream woman changes as he goes through different stages in his life. I'm fortunate to be dating my dream woman now," says Al Mana
 Janet Jackson will relocate to the middle east with her husband and join her husbands religion

BASKET MOUTH ADDS  CUSTOM MADE INSIGNIA RIDE TO HIS GARRAGE

One of the biggest comedians to come out of Africa, Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth has just taken delivery of the 2013 Opel Insignia car. I heard from a close source to the comedian that it's a bespoke car, meaning that everything was built to Basketmouth's specification. The car is actually not sold at any showroom in the world...you can only order it. And Basketmouth's car I hear, is the only one that has been ordered in Africa. That means no one else has this car in Africa. The car sells for about 42 thousand pounds about  (10.5 million naira). Now that's big! Wow! Congrats basket mouth

TONTO DIKEH DEBUNKS RUMOUR ABOUT HER KIDNAP

Several blog sites,this morning posted a joke that Tonto Dike was kidnapped. Although it takes someone with a good sense of humor to know it was a joke.Below is the news some bloggers shared this morning:

The fast rising actress and singer was kidnapped today in her  home. The strange incident happened in the front of her gate. Eye witnesses said a black van drove and stopped right in front of Tonto Dikeh and three gun men emerged and whisked her away.
A Police near by that saw the kidnap go down stood, watched and took no actions but laughed.
After the kidnappers drove off, they left a note on the road and the police picked it up and it read:
“Dear Nigerians, we are doing you a huge favor, we have taken this drastic action to save the little we have in this country. we got information that Mrs Tonto is about to release a new song by march and we cant look and fold our arms. Mrs Tonto would be released for five thousand Naira after march 1st”
So far no one is willing to pay N5,000 to set Mrs Tonto Dikeh free

Lol!

However,the controversial actress did not find it funny. She took to twitter to debunk the rumor.

Brazil’s leader arrives Nigeria  

Published on February 23, 2013Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff met with Nigeria’s leader Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja on Saturday for talks that were expected to focus on boosting trade, notably in the energy sector.
Nigeria is Brazil’s main commercial partner in Africa, with bilateral trade soaring 500 percent from $1.5 billion in 2002 to $9 billion last year.
Brazil’s state-owned oil company Petrobras has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Nigeria’s coal, oil, natural gas and alternative energy sectors.
Brazil is looking to expand energy ties with Nigeria, Africa’s top oil producer, to fuel its growing economy.
At a major industry conference in Abuja last month, Nigeria’s Oil Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke said that growing oil and gas production in the United States had begun affecting Nigerian exports and that the west African nation would have to look to different markets.
The fall is US exports was due in part to a rise in American shale oil production, including through new technologies like fracking, Alison-Madueke said.
Rousseff arrived in Nigeria after attending the Africa-South America summit in Equatorial Guinea, also a significant west African oil producer.

WAZOBIA FM Kano closed down 

The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has suspended the Operating Licence of Globe Broadcasting and Communications Limited, owners of Wazobia FM, in Kano.
The suspension is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the commission’s Head of Public Affairs, Awwalu Salihu. He explained in the statement that the suspension is in continuation of the steps taken by the commission following the broadcast of an episode of the programme – Sandar Girma.
It said the programme was found to have breached Section 3.9.1 of the Nigerian Broadcasting Code which prohibits the use of language encouraging crime or disorder. “Section 3.9.1, stipulates that:
language or scene likely to encourage or incite crime, or lead to disorder, shall not be broadcast.”
Salihu said the commission is of the opinion that the station used its broadcast rights in a manner that was detrimental to national interest and ordered the station to go off air with `immediate’ effect until further notice.

Pope Stepped Down Over Corruption, Gay S*x Scandals – Report

Pope Benedict XVI resigned after an internal investigation informed him about a web of blackmail, corruption and gay s*x in the Vatican, Italian media reports say.

A team of three cardinals were asked by Benedict to verify allegations of financial impropriety, cronyism and corruption exposed in the so-called VatiLeaks affair.
In December, they handed the pontiff a large portfolio of papers which was “an exact map of the mischief and the bad fish” inside the Holy See, La Repubblica said.
“It was on that day, with those papers on his desk, that Benedict XVI took the decision he had mulled over for so long,” said the centre-left newspaper.

It said its article was the first of a series, Daily Telegraph reports.
Panorama, a conservative weekly, did not speculate about the motives behind Benedict’s resignation, but its story about the contents of the confidential report was broadly similar.

Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi refused to “run after fantasies and opinions” and warned reporters: “Don’t expect comments or reb*ttals of what is being said on this issue.”
Lombardi said that the three cardinals had submitted their report privately to Pope Benedict, and it would be passed on to his successor, CatholicCulture.org reported.
The three prelates who investigated the “Vatileaks” scandal and prepared a thorough report – Cardinals Julian Herranz, Jozef Tomko, and Salvatore De Giorgi – will not be giving interviews or divulging details regarding the contents of the report, he said.
Cardinal Herranz, who chaired the commission, confirmed, “The Pope is the only person we have reported to on this question.”
La Repubblica claimed that in a lengthy report on the leaks, the cardinals had alerted the Pontiff to the existence of factions within the Roman Curia, including a powerful faction “united by s*xual orientation.”
Some members of that bloc, the cardinals reportedly said, may be vulnerable to “external influence” because of their activities. The Italian newspaper said that the report shocked Pope Benedict and contributed to his decision to resign.

        Singer Paul Play Slams N500m Suit On MTN

cool lifes gist http//lifestylescosmos.blogspot.com

In what may very well be the first major copyright infringement lawsuit in modern time in Nigeria, pop singer Paul play Dairo has gone to court for redress over the unlawful use of hit song “Angel of My Life” on MTN sponsored Project Fame.
P.M.NEWS gathered that Paul, through his lawyer, Festus Keyamo, is slamming a N500 million suit on telecoms giant MTN and Ultima Studios, the producer of the music talent hunt show, Project Fame.
According to the singer, he was out of the country and in the United States last year when the song was used without proper licensing. His Intellectual Property manager, Ayo Rotimi was also said not to have been contacted by the show producers before the song was used and broadcast.
Paul’s management, P.M.NEWS learnt contacted the two organisations and their responses were “cold and uncooperative”. This makes them to contact Festus Keyamo Chambers who has filed a lawsuit against both organisations, and they are said to be determined to see the case to its logical conclusion.
The representatives of both MTN and Ultima Studios could not be contacted as at press time.
“It is very sad to notice that even international companies in the calibre of MTN who have benefited enormously in the Nigerian economy is found wanting in unlawful exploitation of intellectual property. This is inappropriate and should be addressed,” a concerned industry analyst said

A 26-YEAR OLD BOY SPENDS $70,000 IN SURGERY TO LOOK LIKE BRITNEY SPEARS

Plastic surgery today can make you look like whoever you like, man or woman.

A young man was a great fan of Britney Spears and went under the knife to prove it. Kara Nicole Hays spent approximately $70,000 to get the look of Britney Spears the news media reported.

The 26-year-old believes that the surgery cost about $30,000, the remainder went to therapy, hormones, clothing, cosmetics and everything else he needed to make the transition.

Hays said that his face is all natural and any resemblance to Spears is a lucky coincidence. "I never had facial reconstruction to look like a celebrity," he said.

Hays, who went by the name of Kody while growing up in a staunchly conservative area of Southeastern Ohio, said Spears's music brought him comfort in difficult times.
"Britney was a person who helped me through depression," he said. "Dancing to Britney's videos also helped me lose weight and feel better about myself."

Hays told the news media that he faced a lot of toxic attitudes in his small town. He said his family had trouble accepting initially that he wanted to live his life as a girl.

They feared a backlash from narrow-minded neighbors. "It was not until we brought in doctors and psychiatrists when they finally grasped the situation," he said.

Things were not easy in school either. Hays said that although he was allowed to enter school as a girl, there was no great storybook ending.

"I was nominated to the court of honor probably as a joke, but my name had to be removed," he said. "The school officials had to personally come to my house to ask my mom and I about me being removed in the fear of controversy in the small town."
He said he played "low profile" in high school because of "death threats."

QUACK DOCTOR  ARRESTED AFTER PERFORMING A FAILED BUTTOCKS, HIPS AND BREAST ENLARGEMENT

All a woman wanted was a nicer butt, but she died.

A South Florida woman posing as a doctor was arrested and charged in the death of a woman who died after authorities said her butt was pumped with unknown toxic substances during surgery to enlarge her butt.

Shatarka Nuby, a 31-year-old mom, gave a woman known as "Dutchess" hundreds of dollars to come to her home and inject her buttocks, hips, thighs and breasts with an unknown substance. The Dutchess, whose real name is Oneal Morris, sometimes wore scrubs and a stethoscope. She supposedly sealed her with with glue, and cotton balls, according to sheriff's deputies in Broward County.

Nuby told friends that the injections became hard and hot and her skin turned black. She wrote a letter to the Department of Health investigators before her death in Tallahassee. An assistant medical examiner said she suffered "a massive migration of systemic silicone", according to
a sheriff's office.

Authorities said Nuby was one of several victims who were looking towards 32 year old, Morris for cosmetic procedures. Some victims had complications and infections after the injections, including bathroom caulk, cement, Super Glue, Fix-a-Flat and mineral oil into the bodies of her victims, officials said.

Morris was arrested in her mother’s home in South Florida and charged with murder. Her lawyer, Michael Mirer, declined to comment.

Joseph Benjamin’s Stolen Car Recovered

Joseph Benjamin

Nollywood actor Joseph Benjamin who lost his car to armed robbers last Sunday evening has applauded his insurance company for helping to recover the car.
The actor was in Aberdeen, Scotland, for the screening of his breakthrough movie, “Tango With Me” when his 2007 Toyota Camry driven by a friend was snatched around Magodo, Lagos.
According to Benjamin, the incident happened around 7pm. “I had just returned to London from Aberdeen for a photo shoot when my friend called and was hysterical on the phone. She said my car had been snatched around Magodo area. She was crying her heart out so I had to calm her down and assured her that there was no problem.

“Immediately, I called my insurance company, and informed them of the theft. They told me not to panic that the car would be recovered in no time. Though, I did not doubt them, I was tempted to broadcast the news on Blackberry just in case anybody had a clue. I also put my London phone numbers if anybody had information that could lead to the recovery of the car.”
“I was shocked when about 15minutes later, a staff of my insurance company called me to say the car had been found in Ipaja area of Lagos, adding that it has been demobilised. I didn’t believe it until my friend went to confirm that it was indeed true.”
Social media networks have proven to be a tool for dispersing information quickly, a tool which was believed to have helped in the quick recovery of the star actor’s car.

UNILAG remains MAULAG – Ministry

February 23, 2013 

UNILAG main entrance

The Federal Ministry of Education has refuted reports that President Goodluck Jonathan had made a U-turn on the change of name of the University of Lagos.

It said on Friday that it had yet to receive any categorical statement from the Federal Government on such a decision.

Reports   had quoted the new Chairman of the Governing Council, University of Lagos, Prof. Jerry Gana, as saying President Goodluck Jonathan had changed his mind about renaming the institution after the late Chief Moshood Abiola.

But the Director of Press, Federal Ministry of Education, Mr. Olu Lipede, told our correspondent in Abuja on Friday that the President had yet to issue any statement on the matter, noting that the position of the government about the name change remains.

He said, “The reports that the government has made a U-turn on the renaming of UNILAG are untrue and misleading; what Prof. Jerry Gana said was that the President was observing the rule of law by not forcing his decision to change the name of the university on the people, but followed the due process by allowing the court to decide the matter.

“The President has not issued any categorical statement on the matter and the ministry of education has not received any directive either; so, the directive of the President on the school remains the same.”
