Chelsea defeated Fulham 2-0.

Super Eagles midfielder, John Obi Mikel, on Saturday, September 21, 2013, scored his first ever English Premier League goal for his London club, Chelsea, after 185 games and seven years for the Blues.

Mikel justified the faith reposed in him by Coach Jose Mourinho as he doubled Chelsea’s lead in the 84th minute in the game against Fulham at the Stamford Bridge.

Oscar had previously put the home side ahead with his 52nd minute goal. The past week has been tumultuous for Jose Mourinho’s side as they suffered a shock League defeat away to Everton and in the midweek a more surprising home loss against Swiss side, FC Basel, in the UEFA Champions League.

The three points earned from Saturday’s London derby has now shot Chelsea to the top of the League as they overtake Liverpool who suffered a shock home loss earlier in the day.

Controversies and scandals aside, Afro Hip Hop artiste, Eedris Abdulkareem, is happy that he chose the path of music. Anytime his name is mentioned in a gathering, many incidents readily come to mind. For some people it is his scuffle with American rapper, 50 Cents, during his visit to Nigeria, in 2004. Others m­ay choose to remember his numerous swipes at colleagues in his songs.

When asked to comment on the high point of his career, his face lights up in a smile:
“The best to ever happen to me was former President Olusegun Obasanjo talking back at me, calling me a mere street boy whose father is not known. The president took me to the next level, I became a super star, and now people know me, because Obasanjo put me in his level.”
As if these achievements are not enough, the rapper, who has been running an independent label, La Kreem Records, since 2004, is happy because he has succeeded in keeping the home front intact in spite of controversies.

“I love my family and wife so much that I don’t joke with them. I have been married for 13 years, though they thought it would last three months. I proved to them that it is possible to be a family man and artiste at the same time. I am an inspiration to other married celebrities,” he boasts.

Things can only get better, as far as Eedris is concerned. With a sixth album due in November, the Osun State native, who says he has a few friends in the industry, tries to clear a few issues off his chest.

“I don’t need endorsements, but I am cool with the shows that Mike Adenuga has been giving me. Shows are enough for me. I will endorse my own product which I am putting together. I need more shows because they pay my bills. If I tell you I want endorsements you may think that most of the things I sing about are for endorsement. I don’t want it, but I do it for other Nigerian artistes so they can live big. But if you must endorse, choose people that will add value to your life.

Endorsement is the best thing that has ever happened to Nigeria. My only grouse is that abroad, endorsed artistes add value to other people’s lives. Here in Nigeria, it is the opposite,” he says.

Pat Storey was appointed the first woman Bishop in Britain and Ireland, the Anglican Church of Ireland announced on Friday.

The married 53-year-old is to become the bishop of Meath and Kildare, in the Irish Midlands.

She said she was “both excited and daunted by this new adventure”. The Church of Ireland encompasses both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom.

The Church in Wales and Scotland have passed legislation allowing women bishops but have not yet appointed any, while the Church of England is expected to approve legislation soon in spite of strong opposition from traditionalists.

Storey, who has two children, grew up in Belfast, studied in Dublin and was until now a Rector in Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

Richard Clarke, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland said: “Having known Pat Storey since she was an undergraduate and I was Chaplain at Trinity College, Dublin, I very much welcome her as a new bishop.

“She is a person of great warmth, intelligence and spiritual depth.

The 56yrs old Pastor, who was said to have been seriously embarrassed sometime ago by a man who caught him with his wife, has refused to change his ways. He picked a runs girl around midnight for a good time and took her to a joint where she satisfied him.

However, at the end of the show, the lady decided to reveal her identity to the pastor:
She said he picked her up on Friday night along Club Road in the Nakuru area of Kenya. "For sex. I mean that’s why he picked me. That’s what I do, I’m a prostitute," she confirmed.

She said after the pastor enjoyed himself, she confronted him and revealed to him that she is a members of his church in city. According to her, he was shaken and pleaded with her not to expose him to any other member of the church. He gave her Sh20,000 instead of the usual Sh500 she collects for short time.

Somehow the story got out as the lady later told one of her friend who leaked the "secret". The matter is said to be causing serious disquiet in the church, as many are wondering if the man is really a pastor.

Ayo Makun a.k. a AY is clamouring for Entertainment Ministry and wants the Ministry of Art, Culture and Tourism to exempt itself from handling entertainment, music, movie and comedy matters.
The rich entertainer is said to be pleading with the Federal Government to set up a ministry to oversee the booming entertainment industry in the country.

"The CEO of AY Show feels that the entertainment industry is too big to be put under the Ministry of Arts, Culture and Tourism," said one of his aides.

The humourist, however, is of the opinion that if the government decides to set up an entertainment ministry, it should put people who have paid their dues in the same industry.

Though, some are murmuring that AY is trying to get attention in the presidency as he's one of the few ones that has not got federal or state appointment.

Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, Stella Adaeze Oduah, has been accused of allocating funds for multiple sham contracts ostensibly for the rehabilitation and upgrade of eleven airports across the country.

A petition by members of the National Union of Air Transport accuses Mrs. Oduah of touting the rehab projects as “quick-win” strategies to burnish President Goodluck Jonathan’s “transformation agenda.”


In a letter to the leadership of the Nigerian Senate in July, the petitioners detailed a series of scams at various levels in the allocation process of the contracts.

Incidentally, the minister has drawn praise from the Nigerian media for the ongoing airport remodeling projects. But the petitioners portray the exercise as an elaborate scam and daylight robbery of public funds. In the words of the petition, the projects are “calculated to dupe the unsuspecting Nigerian public.”

The petition discloses that the two-phase projects have become a four-level scam.

The first part was the ministry’s allocation of funds for “consultancy” service, which called for select firms to draw up designs and plans for the upgrade and rehabilitation of the airports. The second part was the allocation of the actual contracts to predetermined companies through a rigged tenders’ process that ignored advertising the jobs to attract qualified companies. The third and fourth segments of the alleged scam involved the repetition of the first two steps under a spurious tag called “Phase II.”

The petitioners alleged that, prior to the award of the main contracts to “upgrade and rehabilitate” the airports, Mrs. Oduah had handed out consultancy jobs estimated at N255 million. The contracts reportedly went to three crony firms without being advertised in order to attract bids from qualified companies.

The petition also alleged that the consultancy jobs were awarded without first obtaining certificates of “No Objection” from the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), thereby breaching the due process set out to guide the award of contracts.

According to the petitioners, Mrs. Oduah “contracted three consultant firms to carry out consultancy services for ‘urgent upgrade’ and rehabilitation of terminal buildings in the eleven airports in the country. This, she labeled Phase 1 of the airport remodeling exercise.” The unionists added that, before informing the Tenders Board about the allocation of contracts, the minister had predetermined and given out consultancy jobs to the three firms in a selective tender mode.

“Messrs Ngonyama Okpanum and Associates; Messrs Design Union Consulting Ltd and Messrs Triad Associates Ltd were awarded contracts for consultancy works on the upgrade of the airports at the sums of N99, 179,507.17; N60, 986,730.46 and N95, 520,011.93 respectively without advertisement, certificate of No Objection from the BPP or approval by the tender’s board,” the union stated.

Archbishop of Niger Delta Province of the Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Ignatius Kattey, has accused the Nigeria Police of lying over their claim that they secured his release from the dare-devil kidnappers who had abducted him penultimate Friday.
Briefing newsmen to share his 9 days experience in the den of kidnappers, Rev. Kattey thanked the Police for their efforts, but said that they were not the ones who rescued him.
“The Police did not rescue me, neither were they the ones who rescued my wife, Beatrice. I saw the Police for the first time two days ago, after the incident. I heard the statements made by the Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO. The police are telling lies. If you cannot trust the Police, then who can you trust? I told the Commissioner of Police and he has apologised.
“I know that they made efforts but they did not rescue us. A helicopter flew over the area more than 500 times, but the boys (kidnappers) were smarter. They held me in a thick forest and no one could see me there.

“On the day of my release (September 14), the kidnappers moved me and we trekked a number of kilometres till we got to a road. Then they gave me N200 and ordered me to walk towards a direction where I would get a bike. We thank God for His mercies because I wouldn’t even wish my enemy to go through that experience,” he said

Kattey, who is Dean of the Nigerian Anglican Communion, also said that he was not aware if any ransom was collected over his release, explaining that he was not tortured by his abductors.

He added that: “From my experience, the abductors are hungry and in dire need of means of livelihood. Some are adequately educated but lack the enabling environment to positively express themselves. If government will give the people potable water, light and good roads, they will change.”

There were reports a few weeks back that ex House of Rep member Dino Melaye took some family members and friends to the home of his alleged baby mama, actress Bisi Ibidapo Obe, to apologize and claim paternity of the baby he had earlier rejected. Bisi says this is not true, that Dino never made such moves. She tells Encomium mag

“I heard the rumours and I was particularly disappointed to hear it. A lot of people had called me on it but I wonder where those behind this got the information from. Absolutely there is nothing like that. He never came to see the child. Please ignore the stories, let them continue posting rubbish. I am busier than attending to such issues. I am okay, my daughter is also okay. I am more concerned with the proper upbringing and welfare of my daughter and I will appreciate it if the media will support my career, rather than publishing false stories about me. I wish to be left out of any controversy so as to build my career and take good care of my daughter”.

Recently the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation came out with a list of NTBB songs (Not To Be Broadcast). Though such songs have been on the airwaves for months but I guess it’s better late than never. The songs are Wizkid’s ‘The Matter’ and Phyno’s ‘Man of the year’.



Phyno is one interesting rap artiste I have been studying. He joins the league of rappers who rap in native lingo, following the footsteps of his artistic heralders, 2Shotz and Dat NIGGA Raw. Phyno understands the essence of showmanship and personal branding, what with his unique Mohawk hairstyle and his style of dressing.
