IDRIS BEATS TAYO TO CLINCH THE $300,000 BBA PRIZE MONEY #BBAHOTSHOT

Tanzanian 21-year old Big Brother Hotshots representative Idris has been declared the winner of the ninth season of the reality TV show after 63 days in Biggie's space with Nigeria's Tayo as Runner up . Nigeria is four times the population of Tanzania and Nigerians didn't support their representative well ,as we can see from Idris's Conquest by beating Tayo to clinch the $300,000 BBA prize Money

The youthful comic and aspiring actor managed to beat off stiff competition from Tayo, another Hotshot who had made the final two list but as it turns out, Idris' lucky star shone brighter than his thus coming out on tops this evening.

His win was proceded by evictions of Butterphly, Ma'm Bea, Sipe, JJ, Nhlanhla and Macky2. After Idris together with Tayo were declared the final two, Biggie called them to the Diary room where they'd their very last Diary as Hotshots final two during which Biggie wished them the very best of luck and urged them to continue playing their game even on the outside.

Shortly after leaving the Diary room, they were Chauffeur driven in a Limo to the Live Show stage and had a red carpet walk greeting fans and invited guests.

Host IK had a chat with the duo before going on to call out Idris' name as the winner of Big Brother Hotshots! He jumped up in excitement and went on the floor before being congratulated by Tayo, the 6 first evictees of the day and then the rest of the ex-Hotshots joined in the celebrations thereafter.

Huge congratulations to Idris, one lucky lad there!

FORBES : BEYONCE NAMED RICHEST FEMALE MUSIC ICON 2014

According to Forbes, Beyoncé is the highest paid woman in music in 2014. She made over $115million this year, more than double what she pulled in last year,

The huge sum, most of which was from her world tour, propelled Beyoncé, 33, from fourth place last year and put her firmly ahead of pop star Taylor Swift, 24, who came in 2nd with $64 million. Pop singer Pink, 35, climbed up from No. 8 in 2013 to third with $52 million.

'Beyonce played 95 shows during our scoring period, bringing in an average of $2.4 million per city,'
said Forbes, citing data from the Pollstar trade magazine. The R&B singer's self-titled album released last December and endorsement deals pushed her earnings up further assuring her the top spot.

Barbados-born Rihanna, 26, came in 4th with $48 million and Katy Perry, 30, who earned an estimated $40 million, ranked 5th. Madonna, 56, who ranked No. 1 last year, failed to make the top 10 in 2014. Lady Gaga, 28, slumped from No. 2 in 2013 to ninth place this year with estimated earnings of $33 million.

Forbes compiled the list after estimating pre-tax income calculated for the 12 months from June 2013 to 2014 based on record sales, concert tickets, touring information merchandise sales and interviews with concert promoters, lawyers and managers. It also looked at data from the Pollstar, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan.

In 2009, Beyonce told Forbes of her work ethic:

'Like everyone else, you work really hard and you want it to be great; you want your friends to like it, What makes me feel comfortable is practice and knowing I'm prepared.

STEPHEN KESHI TESTIFIES HOW LUCRATIVE COACHING JOB CAN BE

HOW lucrative can coaching Job be? COACH Stephen Keshi pocketed a total of $300,000 when he led Nigeria to the last 16 of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

'Big Boss' Keshi is on double the win bonus of the players and on that account, he received a total of $260,000 as appearance fee for the World Cup after the team agreed to pay each player $10,000 per game, covering both the qualifiers and the World Cup itself.

A total of 13 matches were considered and it was on that basis that the likes of Vincent Enyeama, Austin Ejide and Godfrey Oboabona each netted $130,000 as appearance fee.Therefore, the least a player received was $10,000 for playing a qualifier.

Keshi's World Cup jackpot also included an additional $40,000 being match bonus for the win over Bosnia, the draw with Iran and the loss to Argentina.

Keshi's assistant Daniel Amokachi therefore earned a staggering $195,000 as appearance fee as he earns 50% more than the players.

The federal government shipped $3.6 million through the sports minister on a Presidential jet on the eve of the round of 16 match against France.

Arguments and counter arguments about how the cash was to be shared meant that the entire squad stayed up till 2 a.m. local time and eight hours later they were on their way to the stadium for the match they eventually lost 2-0 to crash out of Brazil 2014.

OUR PAST LEADERS ARE THE FUTURE LEADERS

1985, IBB was the president of Nigeria and our teachers told us that Buhari was the former Head of state. Our teacher also called us "the leaders of tomorrow" 27 years later, IBB and Buhari are still contesting for Presidency. Its either our teacher lied to us about being the leaders of tomorrow. Or tomorrow is yet to come. Who's fooling who? In 1983, Bamanga Tukur was the Governor of the defunct Gongola State (now Adamawa & Taraba) and 30 years later, he is today the Chairman of the ruling Party, The PDP; Dr. Bello Halliru was commissioner in the Old Sokoto State (now Sokoto, Kebbi & Zamfara) and 33 years after he is today Minister of Defence; Major General David Mark(rtd) was the military governor of Niger State in 1984 and 28years later he is today the Senate President; Gov. Murtala Nyako was the governor of Niger State in 1976 and 36years later he is today the Governor of Adamawa State; Ogbonnaya Onu was governor of Abia State in 1992 and 20years after he is today the National Chairman of ANPP; Gov. David Jonah Jang was the governor of Benue State in 1985 and 27years after he is today the governor of plateau state; and Martins Elechi the Ebonyi State Governor is over 80 years old! Only in Nigeria is this possible, where the youth of today have no hope into the future! From strike in health sector, to the labour, to judiciary, to Education and today our students are home lavishing! Let Nigerian youth come to an alliance and fight for the unborn.
