Davido Flaunts His Final yr Project Online.

Hehehe... He's finally graduating! I wonder if he's going to write the project himself.

Sure, he'll do pretty well.

Oba Of Lagos Is Not A Member Of The APC - Tinubu

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, is not a member of the All Progressives Congress and cannot speak on behalf of the party. (I can’t recollect if he was cautioned when he backed Akinwunmi Ambode ahead of other APC aspirants before the Primaries. It was a good thing it was recorded. The excuse would have been a Jimi Agbaje propaganda)

Tinubu said this at a rally in Iganmu, Lagos, while reacting to the controversial comments of the monarch on Tuesday.

The APC National Leader, who noted that he was the first Yoruba governor to ever appoint an Igbo commissioner, said the Peoples Democratic Party, having failed to win last week’s presidential elections, were desperately trying to pull the APC into the Akiolu controversy.

He said the Coordinator of the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, Ifeanyi Ubah, and the PDP leader, Bode George, were only making baseless accusations against the APC.

Tinubu said, “The oba is not a politician. His job is to accommodate all political parties, whether PDP, APC or SDP. So, what did he (Ubah) go and do at the palace?

“To you Igbos, don’t we pay your children’s school fees like others? Or is it the palace that pays for it? When we conducted an exam and a spelling competition, an Igbo boy, Ebuka, from Anambra, came first and he became the governor for one day.

“Those that won the competition three times in a row were Igbo. Ebuka was sent to Switzerland computer school and then Obafemi Awolowo University. We did not say he was an Igbo boy and he would not enjoy. He became an executive in Oando and he is now in Canada.

“Another boy, Felix, won and went to Switzerland and OAU. We paid his scholarship; we did not deny him because he is Igbo.”

Why Jonathan Lost To Buhari – Sanusi Lamido Sanusi

Former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi in an interview says Pres. Jonathan was defeated in the presidential election because of the level of poverty in some parts of the country especially in the North. He tells Punch;

“I think in 2011, it was very clear that Jonathan had lost many states in the North that had previously been won by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. And it was clear that there was a general sense by people of the Federal Government not investing in the areas where there is a high level of poverty.

I believe more and more of those states began to feel that sense of not feeling the federal presence and not feeling the impact of democracy in their pockets and I think it is extremely important for people to connect with the government and when you have such conditions after 16 years of democracy, it was natural that people would want to have a change and I think this is basically what has happened.

I don’t think it is something about an individual, I think it is something that has been going on for a number of years and you could see the states won by the PDP in 1999 and what they won in 2003, what they won in 2007, 2011 and you would begin to see the changes in the way Nigerians were responding so it was a matter of time.”

The deceased couple who both worked in the Bariga area of Lagos has just moved to their newly built apartment in Isokan Estate, Ibafo, before the unfortunate incident. Lawals were found dead in their house on Monday, March 30, with their generator working in one of the rooms in the building.

One of the neighbors, who spoke to Punch says;

“When we knocked on their apartment’s door, there was no response. We also called them on their phones without result. We then broke into the house, where we saw both of them dead on the bed. Immediately we discovered their lifeless bodies, we alerted the police to the incident and also called and their family members.”

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the incident.

Tinubu Featured In F/Times, Called Machiavelli That Destroyed PDP

UK international newspaper Financial Times has eulogized APC National leader Asiwaju Tinubu, for the role he played for his party APC to usurp power from PDP. The article is titled “Nigeria’s Machiavellian – How a political godfather helped bring down PDP. Read article below;

“From his redoubt on Bourdillon Road in upmarket Lagos, a man popularly known as the Jagaban cemented his reputation this week as a political Svengali with the role he played helping to orchestrate the downfall of Nigeria’s sitting president, Goodluck Jonathan.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose name comes from a chieftaincy title bestowed on him by the town of Borgu, in Nigeria’s north, was from 1999 to 2007 the provincial governor of the country’s economic engine, the coastal state and megacity of Lagos.

The political godfather of Nigeria’s south west, Mr Tinubu’s unlikely alliance with the austere former military ruler, now president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, made possible the first opposition victory in Nigeria’s electoral history.

“There needed to be an alignment for us to be able to stare down the government in power. There needed to be a catalyst for that alignment. He was the most prepared for that,” says one of Mr Tinubu’s lieutenants.

The manner in which that alignment evolves, is now among the big questions Nigerians are asking when considering the likely character of the incoming administration.

Described as “deeply Machiavellian” and a “master strategist” by one of his party peers, the Jagaban has cannily built a political empire among ethnic Yorubas in Lagos and the south west, as formidable, according to allied politicians, as that of Obafemi Awolowo, who led Nigeria’s second largest ethnic block at independence.

He did so over the past decade and a half, having survived a string of bruising turf wars with the ruling People’s Democratic Party, which was forged from political networks across Nigeria during the 1998 transition from military rule.

PDP barons had become so adept since at oiling the electoral machine, that they sometimes boasted the party would still be in power in 100 years.

It was the merger of the Action Congress last year, with the party of the president-elect, strong in the north but weak elsewhere, that made it possible for the opposition to challenge and ultimately defeat the PDP. The two parties between them controlled block support in both of Nigeria’s most populous regions; Mr Tinubu’s in the south west and Gen Buhari’s in the north west.

“I am in the same union as Buhari to salvage a Nigeria that is drifting and that has faced a storm of economic deterioration,” Mr Tinubu said at a celebration party at his house this week. Outside the formidable gates, a mob of hundreds of young men ecstatic at the success of their city patron, were shouting “Jagaban”.

Yet the Jagaban is a controversial figure, resented by some for the dominating machine politics he has brought to the south west, but adored by others, especially in Lagos, who see his hand behind the remarkable renaissance of the city in the past 15 years.

Once a byword for urban decay, Lagos has begun to thrive under Babatunde Fashola, who Mr Tinubu promoted as his successor as governor, and then sometimes shielded from the rough and tumble of politics as he went about reviving the city with technocratic verve.

Mr Tinubu attributes the success of the campaign, the most disciplined by an opposition group in Nigeria’s history and sophisticated in terms of the data monitoring it used to keep on top of events, to compromise.

“Our defined objective is on the plank of a progressive social welfare programme. Once we agreed to that then we consolidated the merger,” he says, of last year’s deal, which superseded a less formal alliance that came unstuck in 2011 polls.

Against expectations the party survived a tough contest for the leadership, which saw Mr Tinubu’s candidate, a Christian pastor and Lagos lawyer, Yemi Osinbajo, win the vice-presidential slot.

The future of the union could now determine how effective Nigeria’s incoming government is in office.

Some leading members of the victorious opposition worry about the compatibility of Mr Tinubu and Gen Buhari and about the influence the former might wield, without any formal position in the party, in the forthcoming battle over federal government appointments.

In the immediate future, Mr Tinubu is likely to be distracted by his battle to maintain influence in Lagos, where his preferred candidate for governor is facing a tough challenge in the polls on April 11. “There is no need for a power struggle. We are concentrating our efforts in reversing the decay,” Mr Tinubu says.

He is not a politician who is insecure. According to both detractors and fans, one of his attributes, rare among older politicians in Nigeria, has been to spot talent and nurture it. He absorbed this lesson according to one ally, when working at ExxonMobil.

“We bring talent to governance. We don’t want Lilliputians. We want people who can think and act,” he said. Among the bright, young crowd in his small, home office in attendance, were perhaps some of Nigeria’s future leaders.”

How I Met & Fell Inlove With IK Ogbonna -- Sonia Morales

Nollywood actor, IK Obonna's Colombian girlfriend, Sonia Morales has opened up on how they met and why she accepted his proposal..

The 26 year old who is pregnant told Encomium

How did you meet IK Ogbonna and what was the major attraction?

We have one mutual amazing friend, a girl called Oma. She was just too sure that me and IK would make one perfect match. She introduced him to my Instagram page, then he did the rest of the work. He asked for my BBM pin, next thing he got me on my phone 24/7.

If somebody had told me, I would not have believed. I guess life is full of surprises. Sometimes all we got to do is to follow our intuition. I got to discover a male version of me! It feels too right.

Why did you accept his proposal?

I am a very spiritual person. I just know when something is right for me. I never doubted him, not for a second. He makes me happy, he makes me better.

What do you and IK share in common?

We are too much alike. If we were from the same country, I would never doubt that he might be my long lost twin brother. He knows how I breathe! First time I met a human being that is capable of reading my mind. We share same vision and points of view when it comes to life, love, success and family. He is my pal of life.

What was your parents’ reaction about you dating him

They all adore him cause of his amazing personality, big heart and the fact that he treats me like a real man should. Every normal parents are happy with their children’s happiness.

How long have you been together and what has kept your relationship going?

I have a feeling like it’s been a whole life or two. If you want to enjoy real beauty and power of love, don’t be so busy proving each other right/wrong. There is no right or wrong when it comes to love. This game is endless, pointless and it will never lead you anywhere. The point is to learn how to put yourself in your partner’s shoes. To understand each other’s feelings and to let each other know you are speaking the same language, you are in the same team, you are the best of friends, partners in crime, not enemies.

We all battle with insecurities, frustrations, fears. We all trip from time to time, because we are all humans. But that’s why it’s so important to feel free to talk (not argue) with your partner and let him know how you really feel from the bottom of your heart . And also, to know how to listen, not for sake of replaying or arguing, but for the sake of understanding. We helped each other cure from all negative feelings we carried from the past, we got mature enough to understand that love is really drama-free and selfless and it must be based on unconditional trust. We don’t hide phones from each other, we don’t spy on each other.

Tell us about yourself and what you do?

I was born January 19, 1991, to a family of three, as only girl and the oldest child. I study at University of Belgrade in the Republic of Serbia, in the Faculty of Political Science – Department of Social Policy, to be more specific. I am on scholarship and busy with my masters at the moment. I am working with a non-profit organization for education of women and children in Third World countries and I am planning to start one myself. I also work as a translator. I fluently speak five languages (including pidgin). I am ambassador of DFNG’ fashion line from London. From time to time I do modeling jobs, but I really don’t take them too serious. Not my priority.

Are you based in Nigeria or in Colombia?

All my life I have been citizen of the world. I hardly lived in South America though. I was born and mostly based in Europe – France-Holland-Serbia because of my education. Lately, my route Europe-Nigeria became quite frequent in my schedule.
