If you don’t live under a rock, you’d know Kim Kardashian was a guest at Darey‘s much talked about ‘Love Like a Movie‘ concert back in February.
The reality show star got to review the red carpet with Darey and had some very interesting things to say, one being that she was surprised to see Nigerians dress to the nines wearing suits and gowns to what was supposed to be a concert.
‘Next time I travel when they say concert, I will find out what the typical dress code of that country is. ’cause if you came to a concert in the states, it’d be T-shirt and jeans‘, Kim K told Darey.

The 'Ada Ada' Crooner, we gather, has moved into his property in the area to join the likes of Iyanya, Don Jazzy, Dr. Sid, Cossy Orjiakor, Mercy Johnson, Genevieve Nnaji and a host of other stars CLICK HERE FOR MORE GIST
Below is what a fan who seems to be an avid Don Jazzy follower thinks about his split with Wande Coal, It will be recalled that this same Dj wrote a similar letter to Dr Sid which was massive and had people talking for weeks. Read below;
My Dear Don jazzy,
How are you and the left over Mavin squad?? I hope u are not in good health and sound mind. The last time u read my letter to one of your Mavin slaves (Dr Sid), you blocked me on twitter so it meant I spoke the truth – mission accomplished!!!!! I am sure your die hard fanbase #teamdonjazzy do not know why you did not sign hit maker producer Terry G and Port-Harcourt’s finest, Duncan mighty to Mo-Hits, it was because they both tweeted your intention to sign them before you composed a tweet to announce it yourself and that was even after signing agreement papers with them and their lawyers.
My dear, you are such an egocentric and proud homosegxwal. Just as you turned #teamdonjazzy against D’Banj, you want to try it with Wande Coal because u have a senseless #teamdonjazzy crazed fan base who will just do as you say and take u as their omnipotent and omniscience ultimate ruler. Well done!!! Your dumb fans don’t even know you ordered your thugs to beat Mr Princewill Ojukwu in pop night club (Saka Tinubu Victoria Island) on Friday December 21, 2012 and he almost lost his precious eyes and nose while you stood pressing your phone, that is attempted murder, You are a cold blooded killer!!
I am sure D’Banj is just smiling and sipping his hot tea knowing it will get to this. I now understand why Banga Lee sang “if u know what i know, u go like me ooo”- oyato (2013). Don Jazzy made everyone believe D’Banj was the bad egg, #teamdonjazzy too don’t know you were too scared to produce for the American market (Goodmuzik) because you thought you will flop . Everyone is asking how many hitz D’Banj have with Kanye and Co, I am now asking you how many hit tracks you produced for Good Musik because we all know you were signed on too as a producer, I thought you were Africa’s #1 producer. Everyone now knows that you did not produce Go Low, Shizzi produced the original sample but you took the credit, why did he not rant on twitter like your big headed self? My annoyance is based on the fact that u have Wande’s private phone numbers, E-mail, house address, blackberry pin and full access to him, what will it cost u to contact him privately instead of trying to turn everyone against Wande with your hurtful tweets. I compare you to the devil, u can give any artiste instant fame with sick hit tracks but u want their life in return. May you and your walking stick burn in hell
I am not surprised Dr Sid took after you, Mr and Mrs oppressor, both of you should just get married, I am sure you will be the bride and Dr foolish will be your groom and since we both like attention, tell #teamdonjazzy to curse me on @baddestdjtimmy because I need it, maybe that will raise my already dead djing career. #teamdonjazzy say all I want is attention, YES!! that is what I want and so do you because you love controversies and you look for any slightest opportunity to trend !!
The only reason I wrote this is to let you know irrespective of your blind and hungry #teamdonjazzy fan base, you have someone who hates your guts. I fight against oppression and that’s what nbm stands for

Mr Solomon Awoniyi, father of Golden Eaglets’ striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, said he used to beat his son to discourage him from playing football. Awoniyi on Sunday at his Gbagba residence, Ilorin, said that he never knew Taiwo would play football to global level. He said the football career of his son started during his elementary school days, noting that he (Taiwo) would always disappear from the house to play football and the whole family would be looking for him.
Awoniyi praised the efforts of Taiwo’s coach, Rasaq Olojo, whom he said discovered and nurtured him.
He said the striker was part of the team that participated in a Coca Cola competition in Ibadan, which later earned him a trip to London in 2010, where former Nigerian football stars Nduka Ugbade and Seyi Olofinjana, spotted him.
He disclosed that Taiwo Awoniyi was voted the most valuable player and came home with the award from London in 2010.
Wife of the Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime, Clara, has cried out that the report of the National Human Rights Commission on her incarceration by her husband, Governor Sullivan Chime is not the whole truth as it should be told to the Nigerian public.
Clara said in fact the report was set to damage her reputation... This was contained in a letter of complaint she wrote to her lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN. The NHRC had on Friday released a preliminary report on its investigations into Clara’s complaints of rights abuse.
Speaking on the report, the Executive Secretary of the NHRC, Prof. Bem Angwe, said the bone of contention between Chime and his wife was a disagreement over the procedure for the treatment of her occasional hallucinations and depression.
But Clara said she never told them about any "hallucinations". In her letter, she said, “I am very disappointed to read what has been narrated by the National Human Rights Commission. Apart from the fact that the information was largely false, it showed lack of sensitivity in publishing sensitive medical detail.
“This has the effect of tarnishing and damaging my reputation. It is as though the commission set out to ridicule me. I made it clear to them that I had a nervous breakdown and found it inexplicable as to how hallucinations featured as part of my symptoms.
“It is important to make this clear, so that the public should be made aware of this and that the Commission should recognise part of her ethos in protecting human dignity. It has been suggested by some quarters that the Commission appears biased already because of the profile of the person whose reputation is at stake.
“I want to believe that the Commission would approach my case with open mind and in particular recognise me as a victim of crime. I hope that common sense would prevail and that the Commission should now retract the damaging publication and stop stigmatising me.”
I thought Governor Chime had said a neuro-psychiatric doctor, Dr Aham Agumoh was around to take care of his wife? What is really going? Is this be a case of cover up and counter cover up? Too many questions.
……..Aero Contractors turned us into prisoners of war
Passengers aboard an Aero Contractor Boeing 737 plane scheduled for a trip to from Abuja to Lagos were left stranded inside the aircraft for several hours, with airline officials nowhere in sight to offer any explanation, SaharaReporters has learnt from a source who was one of the abandoned passengers.
“It was as if the Aero Contractors turned us into prisoners of war,” said the passenger, adding that many passengers were terrified as the plane sat on the tarmac of Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja for several hours, with passengers locked up inside.
Our source disclosed that Flight AJ132 from Abuja to Lagos was supposed to take off at 8 p.m., but was delayed until midnight. Then, once passengers boarded, they were left inside the aircraft until 3 a.m. on Saturday. He added that the pilots and the crew left the aircraft with the passengers without giving any explanation. A source at the airline said it was a case of “Aircraft On Ground”, a term used to depict seriousness of engine trouble that causes an aircraft to be grounded.
“I think this kind of thing can only happen in Nigeria where customers are treated by an airline as if they were just rats trapped inside a plane, and the pilots and crew members disappear just like that.”
SaharaReporters could not reach a line for Aero Contractors to obtain an official response to the incident. Several passengers booked on other Aero’s flights suffered similar delays at airports around Nigeria.
There are strong indications that the over 4 months old strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may be called off next week. That ordinarily should be an all round good news but it’s good news with so many bad and worrisome contents in it. What informed this conclusion? While I agree that the strike has dragged on for too long, it is important to also note that until recently when the president of the country personally engaged the union in talks, talks between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) had broken and of course talks broke down over the non-implementation of an agreement its willingly entered into with ASUU in 2009, after 3 years of negotiations.
However, the Nigerian government failed to implement the agreement, instead of doing the needful, top government officials employed threats, blackmail and street-gutter propaganda. Perhaps nothing better demonstrates the contempt that government has for public education than the way it has handled this particular strike, the time it took the president to personally meet with the striking union, the meeting amounts to dousing a roaring fire with spittle.
Recently, Minister of information, Mr. Labaran Maku, in an attempt to give the false impression that the 2009 ASUU/FGN agreement is not implementable declared that government activities could shut down if all demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) were to be met, how come the same government that spends over N3 trillion between 2009 and now to bail out failed banks did not shut down? If the same government could spend over $1billion to buy over warlords and militants from Niger Delta under a fraudulent amnesty program and yet did not go bankrupt why would funding universities shut it down? If this government could spend sum of N1.3 trillion annually on members of the National Assembly and the economy is not leaking why would ASUU demands for quality education bankrupt Nigeria? If the unconstitutional office of the “First Lady” could draw funds from public purse to finance profligacies and yet government has not shutdown, why will a simple agreement shut Nigeria down? and also if a small clique of politicians and oil marketers could steal over $7billion from the oil subsidy funds and the economy is still intact, how is N500 billion spent on the future of young Nigerians shut us down? If a minister could buy two armored vehicle for herself at N255 million and the economy did not collapse, then where is the wisdom in Mr. Labaran Maku and federal governments claim that spending just N500 billion annually on University education is what would sink the ship of the Nigerian government?
After 13 hours meeting with the president however, there is a fresh offer and a fresh agreement, if media reports are correct, the federal government is prepared to spend N220 billion on the universities each year for the next 5 years. Shortly after the meeting, ASUU president was not definite on whether the 2009 agreement has actually been met or not, he simply told newsmen that the union will consult with members on the new message from the president and come up with a position. With that statement it is right to conclude that government has made a new offer entirely different from the provisions of the 2009 agreement.
Already the federal government did not go into that meeting with ASUU with the mind of sincerely resolving the conflicts or implementing the 2009 agreement because prior to that meeting there have been widespread reports in the media that government had a plan B which is to forcefully reopen the universities with or without ASUU, from this it is clear that government is intimidating and pressurizing ASUU to accept whatever offer it puts on the table.
Unfortunately the NLC has also been used as a conduit to pressurize ASUU to call off the strike. This however, is not surprising the NLC has a reputation for betraying the masses of this country one would not forget in a hurry the removal of subsidy in 2012 and how the NLC handled it. In January 2012 during the anti-fuel price struggle, the government made similar accusations, propaganda and blackmails, which led to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) hastily calling off the general strike. Today, Nigerians are the worst for it. While it will be a great relieve to go back to school, it will also be important to put into consideration those issues that led to the over 4 months strike and the gains from it because it is 4 months of an academic life that can never be regained, to this end it will be ridiculous and sad to go back to our universities and still meet the dilapidated hostels, laboratories where stoves are still been used as bunsen burners, over crowded lecture rooms and all those infrastructural decay ASUU talked about. Already there is a directive from the President Jonathan that IGR should be increased and this is already being carried out in some universities particularly Federal University of Agriculture (FUNAAB) and the University of Ibadan (UI), already acceptance fees have been increased. This is a direct effect of not implementing the 2009 agreement and not making the funds that will be spent on the universities reflect in the annual budget of the country.
It will be interesting to see what ASUU comes up with after their NEC meeting but it must be stated that if ASUU calls off this strike it won’t be because the 2009 agreement has been met. It is obviously because the union has been pressurized, intimidated and harassed by the government and a sentimental public. Whichever way it goes, the big question is: there was an ASUU strike in 2009, 2011, and now 2013 just like I said on Channelstv Sunrise Daily show the other day, will there be another strike in 2015?

Having seen those that have made it for the top ten spot the quest continues for the final five people who will slug it out for the ultimate prize. While five more men and women are bound to drop it is pertinent to note that winners may be made of any of the top ten.
The ultimate crown is for the Sexiest Man and Woman in Nollywood, with their runners-up but other categories of prizes, which will be unveiled later, exist for contestants who have made it at least to the top ten.
Come what may, these winners shall be made known to the public before the end of the year but the battle continues for the spot for the final final. So, who makes it to the final five?
Nollywood star Jim Iyke, and Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buari, were recently photographed together at a studio, where they went to check out the final cut of The Diary of Imogen Brown (Nadia Buari's directorial debut). Their appearance together puts paid to recent speculations in the press that the two are no longer together. If this picture is any indication, the two are still going strong.

Victoria Hammah’s Leaked Tape: Ghanaian Minister Sacked Over Plan To Make $1m In Politics Share ghanaian minister sacked victoria hammah Nov 8, 2013 – Ghanaian Deputy Communication Minister, Victoria Hammah Sacked For Planning To Make One Million Dollars From Politics Victoria Hammah’s Leaked Tape: Ghanaian Minister Sacked Over Plan To Make $1m In Politics A female politician in Ghana has lost her job for her inability to bridle her tongue. Mrs Victoria Hammah, the current Ghana’s deputy minister of communication was fired by the government on Friday, 24 hours after she was heard saying she wouldn’t quit politics until she becomes very rich by making at least one million dollars. In the leaked tape, Victoria Hammah was speaking to a woman. Hear what she said: “I will not quit politics until I make one million dollars. If you have money then you can control people.” “it was useless for the deputy minister to fight Nana Lithur whose husband is friends with former President Jerry Rawlings and was President Mahama’s lawyer during the 2012 election challenge. She cannot boast of 100,000 Ghana cedis or 100,000 dollars. Victoria Hammah’s sack was made public in a statement released by the Government of Ghana on Friday however, a valid reason for her sack wasn’t mentioned in the PR. Whaoooo Ghanaian Government are very smart at rendering quick judgement unlike Nigeria where politicians will try to cover up their blunders until it’s totally abandoned. Back to Victoria Hammah, this is not the first time she will make a public blunder, hear what she said in a speech she gave few months back in the video below:
Victoria Hammah’s driver (pictured above) has been arrested for leaking her secret to the public after he allegedly recorded her conversation with his cell phone.
This is a wake up call for a quick turn around in the way politics is run in Nigeria.
