OVER 50 SHOPS BURNT TO ASHES AFTER A FIRE OUTBREAK AT THE POPULAR ABUBAKAR RIMI MARKET IN SABON GARI, KANO

Gimme a break. Fire outbreak, This is nothing but a reply from the northerners to the Igbos for burning 4 Dangote trucks and a mosque in Onitsha yest. Isn't the timing just perfect? Whoever is pushing this BIAFRA agitation doesn't realize that it's the Igbos who have more to loose. An average Hausa man hardly invests in other parts of the country except his state or outside Nigeria. Those hard earned businesses just went down the drain and please for what? Over 50 shops burnt, over 50 families investments. Please was it worth it? This people who have invested their lives worth into their businesses will have to go back to the East empty handed. When are we going to see that this agitation is harming the common Igbo man and not those high in power. 

According to CHANNELS TV Over 50 shops perished with properties worth millions of Naira burnt to ashes after a fire outbreak hit the popular Abubakar Rimi market in Sabon Gari, Kano North West, Nigeria. Eyewitnesses told our correspondent that the fire started from the furniture section and some parts of the pharmaceutical section of the market around 7pm on Thursday evening. The fire was said to have raged for over 30 minutes before firefighters arrived at the market to control it. Although authorities were yet to react to the incident as at the time of the inferno but traders told Channels TV that there was no loss of life or injury from the fire attack. 

Obviously from the video most of the shop owners are IGBO's.

Dasuki Lists Bode George, Odili As Accomplices In Arms Deal Scandal

Chief Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the former Rivers state governor Peter Odili have been named among beneficiaries of about N100 million each from the embattled former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki.

Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki for Jonathan's Administration

According to Sahara Reporters, a source at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) revealed that the largess to the two PDP officials was diverted from funds meant for the purchase of arms in order to better equip the Nigerian military in its campaign against Islamist terror group, Boko Haram. Dasuki, who had made telling revelations in an earlier report following his arrest and interrogation by the EFCC, initially claimed he stole no funds, adding that the former president Goodluck Jonathan 
approved all his expenses related to arms deals. The confessions, however, began after he was shown the statement written by his former director of finance, Shuaibu Salisu, in which all those involved in the scam had been revealed to the investigators.

    Bode George (Very Bad Politician)

So far, twenty-one people have been arrested by law enforcement agents in relation to the arms purchase scandal. An EFCC investigator revealed that some of the detained suspects were now providing useful information after almost all of them initially exhibited resistance.
It was also gathered that Peter Odili and Bode George “may soon be invited to explain why they received N100 million ($500,000) each from funds budgeted for arms purchase.” Obviously Bode George the ex-convict will never learns because prison is calling him for the second time.

    Peter Odili (Former Very Bad Rivers Governor)

Shuaibu Salisu (who was recently arrested), Abba MT Usman, Sagir Attahiru, Evgeny Kundaev, Aminu Baba Kusa, Salisu Usman Garu, Bashir Yuguda, Attahiru Bafarawa were still in detention as of yesterday evening, while Chief Raymond Dokpesi was released last night after meeting bail conditions.
This old men are the gang of thieves killing Nigeria's economy with their greed and selfishness. Were they trying to kill the economy?

NewsFlash: Uncle Jonathan has disassociated himself from the Arms deal scandal (LOL)

Bafarawa Claims Dasuki Gave Him N4.6bn For “Spiritual Purposes”

As Dasuki continues to sing like a canary bird Names Odili, Bode George In Scandal

Former Sokoto governor, Attahiru Bafarawa has stated that he received N4.6 billion from Mr. Dasuki for “spiritual purposes.” It was gathered that security agents are still questioning the former governor to explain what was meant by “spiritual purposes.” The report further quoted the source as saying Odili and Mr. George “may soon be invited to explain why they received N100 million each from funds budgeted for arms purchase. Rivers State Governor, Peter Odili and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, received the sum of N100m each from the former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki, rtd. It was gathered that the money was paid to them so as to ensure the re-election of former President, Goodluck Jonathan, who lost the presidential election held on March 28, 2015. It will be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari recently commissioned a panel to investigate how $2bn meant for the procurement of arms deal disappeared from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN. Col Sambo Dasuki, rtd, who was arrested yesterday initially claimed that he never diverted money meant for the procurement of arms as the former President, Goodluck Jonathan approved all his expenses related to the deals. His stand on the matter later changed soon after he was confronted with the statement written by his former Director of finance, Shuaibu Salisu who revealed the names of those involved in the scam. No fewer than 21 persons have been arrested by the law enforcement agents in connection with the arms deal.

Why Dokpesi collected N2.1 bn from ex-NSA Dasuki

Raymond Dokpesi, founder of Daar Communication, owners of Ray Power radio network and Africa Independent Television, has said the money he received from the office of the National Security Adviser during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan was payment for media and political campaign for the 2015 general election. I know right, one can only begin to wonder what the budget for arms deal has to do with advertising. No wander AIT wanted to kill us with documentaries over documentaries during the election. It was so obvious he had been bought off. Media is supposed to be unbiased but AIT was more than biased, they were sycophants Jonathan owned them.

Mr. Dokpesi was questioned by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission on Tuesday over the N2.1 billion he allegedly received from the office of the NSA. The Nigerian government has made high profile arrests in connection with alleged diversion of billions of Naira meant for procurement of arms for the fight against Boko Haram. A former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, is among those arrested. Mr. Dokpesi’s lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, had earlier told PREMIUM TIMES his client had written to the EFCC informing the anti-graft body it never did business with the NSA’s office. “What I know is that the EFCC wrote to Daar Holdings asking for a list of directors and whether it has done any business or contract with the office of the NSA in the past and how much was involved,” the lawyer said in a telephone interview. “We wrote them a reply to say Daar did not do any contract with the office of the NSA and we are ready to give them all the information they need,” he said. But according to the News magazine, Mr. Dokpesi, in statement released by his company on Wednesday, explained he was invited by the chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, to “shed more light on some payments that were made to him through the office of the National Security Adviser to the former President, Malam Sambo Dasuki”. “Dokpesi explained to the EFCC officials that the N2.1 billion that he collected from the former NSA was payment for publicity and media political campaigns during the 2015 General Elections,” the paper quoted the statement as saying. Mr. Dokpesi “made his statement on the various media exposures and campaign transactions which were dutifully carried out based essentially on contractual obligations/relationship”, the statement added. The statement was however silent on why Mr. Dokpesi received payment for a political media campaign, which ordinarily should have been the prerogative of the Peoples Democratic Party (Mr Jonathan’s party), from the office of the NSA. Following an interim report released by a presidential committee investigating arms procurement in the last administration, which revealed extra-judicial spending of up to N643.8 billion ($32,190,000) and a further $2.2 billion, the EFCC set up a special panel to probe how the monies were spent.  The investigation is still on-going and more senior officials in the last administration are expected to be quizzed on the disbursement and spending of the monies.

Habits People Practise And Mistake for Being Grown-Up

Aging is inevitable, but maturity isn’t. Some people go their whole lives and never gain any of the attributes of age: a polished skill set, wisdom, perspective. But even worse than all the people tearing through their existences without learning a thing are those who believe, wrongly, they’ve found the key to being grown-ups. Rather than actually learning or growing, people feign the act of maturity with simple tricks that actually have little to do with maturity. Here are five things that people mistake for signs of maturity.

1. REFUSING TO ARGUE

When people think of indulged children, the image of a bad tempered, disagreeable kid arguing about everything comes to mind. Maybe that’s why some people come to see any form of debate as immature. When conflicts or argument arise, silence is not the behavior of a grown-up. If a person is silent in the face of a disagreement or a potential disagreement, there may be several reasons for that: they are frightened and incapable of dealing with conflict; they have absolutely no respect for the person they disagree with and feel the person’s opinion is unworthy of debate; or they lack the ability to articulate the superiority of their own opinion. Those are the reasons for silence: fear, arrogance, or stupidity. “I don’t like argument,” people say, I get it. No one but the worst people in the world enjoys conflict and arguments, but if we’re talking about growing emotionally, becoming better people, then we have to try. A lot of people also get hung up on the word “argument,” because they feel it is always over petty or trivia things. Sure it can mean that, but it can also refer to theoretical or logical arguments/debate. And the truth about argument is you get to learn what you don’t know, might be the hard way though but you learn and I do not see learning as a form of immaturity.

2. PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE ALL THE TIME

Playing devil’s advocate is not about articulating your feelings; it’s about expressing any contrary opinion. It’s reveling in your ability to simply provide the other side of the argument. Too many times people play devil’s advocate simply because they can, not for the proper reason of helping another see a problem more completely.A person who is actually mature can arrive at the truth of a matter without reflexively gainsaying everything put before them. You don’t get points just for understanding the other side of the argument; you prove yourself a grown-up by knowing whether or not there is validity to discussing alternative points of view.

3. SHUTTING DOWN A CONVERSATION INSTEAD OF ADDING TO IT

There are times when your perspective on the world will be invaluable – because only you have it in the exact way that you do, and it most certainly has the power to change the world, for better or for worse, in some regard. But that’s not always. And when your opinion – or what you think is a fascinating new lens through which to see the world – reinforces the status quo, disrespects the person with whom you’re engaging, and takes up unnecessary space, you’re actually not adding to the conversation. You’re shutting it down. And whether you realize it or not – whether you mean to or not – that’s oppressive.

4. SUPPRESSING EMOTIONS

At some point, people tell you growing up is about being quiet. About keeping an even temper. About going through life at a steady pace. Anyway, I’m here to tell you that is a lie. Being calm and quiet makes you boring, not mature. You get your thumb caught in a drawer, you scream, You see your co-worker slip on an actual banana peel and throw his feet into the air, going full parallel to the ground before falling on his head, you say sorry and laugh it off. That is not immaturity; that’s being alive. There are extreme wonderful and terrible things in life, and absolutely nothing about being a grown-up requires you to take those events and mute your response. There is no award for absorbing all the energy of the day’s events and compressing it into a tiny smile or grimace.

5. GIVING UP YOUR CHILDHOOD HAPPINESS

This is a very big mistake which is easy to understand. If the simplest definition of being a grown-up is that it’s the opposite of being a child, then the simplest shortcut to maturity is to do everything differently from when you were a child. This wrong-headed notion has made people suddenly refusing to do all sorts of things, like seeing cartoons, kids movies, skipping, singing out loud, or drinking through a Straw. The truth is when you are grown up, you develop the fears you never had. You have obligations and responsibilities you never wanted. When you are grown up, there is little or no time to do all the stupid things you loved doing as a child. But how much needlessly sadder is adulthood if you willingly deprive yourself of all the things you used to enjoy? Whom are you trying to impress? Who told you grown-ups couldn’t have action figures? That’s not the symbol of maturity.

BIAFRA: MY POINT OF VIEW

My opinion to the ongoing Biafra shinanigan.

Yes Nnamdi has been freed he just needs to pay his Bond, but in my opinion he should't be freed because he has successfully bred hate among'st some class of people using his radio Biafra as a channel and if freed today he will do more damage. By the way why can't his so called supporters in high places or activists raise the 2 Million Naira bail? There is a video going round social media of him asking Igbos to get guns and also a picture of him with gun fighters. This is enough evidence to charge him with terrorism. Although am against the use of bullets on protesters but honestly this protesters are just risking their lives. Every army has the duty to protect its sovereign if it senses threat and Protesting for the igbo's break away from Nigeria, mounting blocking roads and generally causing unrest is Treason and a Threat to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Protesting to get Biafra only means one thing and that is "WAR". This is exactly what they will do to Boko Harram members because Boko Harram is also a threat to the peace and stability of Nigeria. If you want to break away their are rules and guidelines, one of which is for the said Biafra leaders to submit their ply to the world court and proove beyond reasonable doubt why they want the Break. If you cant justify the Break then sorry, your request wont be granted. If it was that easy to break every state in the world would be breaking everyday na. Abeg next story. 
Anyone clamoring and instigating WAR hasn't seen the effects of WAR. 

NIGERIAN HUSBANDS/WIVES WHO KILLED THEIR SPOUSES

Why do people kill? The thought of killing another human being is down right absurd. Many spouses feel Ego, Deceit, Jealousy and betrayal breeds spouse killers. Letting anger get the best of you without properly thinking it through will put a stop to your life. Whats the point of killing your spouse, when you will still endup in jail. What becomes of your children you suffered raise? If your marriage is not working out to the point where domestic/psychological violence starts, LEAVE that marriage before its too late.

NIGERIAN ARTISTS WHO WENT FROM FAMOUS TO NOT BEING SO FAMOUS

1.  IDRIS ABDULKAREEM

Abdulkareem's solo debut album, P.A.S.S. ("Pains And Stress = Success") was released in 2002 on Kennis Music, and it was received well by Hip-Hop fans he was known for his controversial lyrics and taking shots at other celebrities. Released the same year (and also on Kennis Music Imprint ) was the album titled Mr. Lecturer and this featured Abdulkareem's first video hit, the album's title track, which addressed the problem of students using money and sex to solicit higher grades in Nigerian colleges and universities, as well as Male lecturers exploiting female students and requesting sex and money in exchange for good grades. In 2004, Abdulkareem's third album, Jaga Jaga, appeared on Kennis. Its title track, which laments the corruption and suffering in Nigeria, was banned from radio airplay by Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo in a televised address, although it continued to be played in nightclubs. Abdulkareem came to international attention as a result of a scuffle with American rapper 50 Cent on board an airplane at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos. By all accounts, Abdulkareem had tried to occupy 50 Cent's seat, resulting in a fight between Abdulkareem, his friends, and 50 Cent's bodyguards. This started his downfall as many Nigerians thought he gave us a bad image in the international world. He has tried staging several comebacks but it seems everyone had moved on.

2.  X-PROJECT

The fresh and hot group artistes came with a one hit wonder which quickly became the hottest rave of the moment. "L'Orile" featuring Konga.

Little did we know the group was going to struggle to get another hit like that again. They fizzled out when they couldn't offer any more trending music.

3.  KAZ

Am sure we all remeeber that song "Fimile Baby Fimile.. Mi o se mo baby Fimile". Mr Kazz came with that yankee swagger from diaspora and dropped the hit song that got everyone going gaaga in a fresh manner. His quick fame got a first class performance on several shows in Lagos and everyone loved his style of music. But almost 4 years after he dropping the single, we are yet to hear another Hit song from KAZ. We do hope he does another hit very soon.

4.  WIERD MC

The controversial artist with that tomboy swag, dropped the popular song called "Ijoya" from her 2003 Album. Wierd MC had the hearts of NIgerians because she had this "I Dont Care" attitude to her and her fans were loving it. The popular musician featured in several songs with several artists especially collaboration with PSquare on Bizzy Body, she also got several shows. But now all we get from her is appearance in entertainment shows. Wierd isn't it?

He is one of the co founders of iROKO Partners offers a range of online media products including its movie streaming website named iROKOtv focused on Nollywood Film productions, and 'iROKING', a Nigerian music streaming platform. iROKO Partners was founded in 2010 in London, England by Jason Njoku and Bastian Gotter. The Idea was born out of the high and rapidly growing demand for Nollywood films. iROKO partners initially set out to rid both the internet and the industry from the vast amount of piracy which was crippling the industry; once established, the organization birthed Nollywoodlove and Yorubalove, which obtained a dominant share of local YouTube views in 2011. Just four months in to his business, Njoku had bought the online rights to 500 movies from 100 different one-man production houses. The company is globally the largest licensor and the leading distributor of Nollywood movies (both English and Yoruba) online.
