Emeka Ike Still At War With Landlord

Emeka Ike has had his fair share of controversies but the latest is the story concerning the closure of his school, St. Nicholas College, Magodo, Lagos, over alleged unpaid rent.

Last Tuesday,  the school under the guise of enrolling a student but a member of staff, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed the school was shut down.

He said that there was a court order that sealed the school and no one was allowed inside. According to the source, the school had been shut for about two weeks over an unsettled issue between the landlord and Ike. He, however, added that the case was already in court.

When asked about the students and if they were aware of the development, he said he was not sure but he doubted if the students and their parents knew what was happening before it became a court case.

Another source, who worked around the vicinity and identified himself as Shina, claimed he was there when a task force team came to the school and seized Ike’s property.

“The landlord is actually an old man so his children advised him not to worry himself as they would take up the matter. They called on task force agents and they carried all Emeka Ike’s property, including his cars. He has not even come to check the place out. It was God that saved his Prado Jeep. That Prado is the only vehicle he has now. They packed everything, it is a big problem,” Shina said.

Meanwhile, when Saturday Beats called Ike on the telephone, the actor who was obviously vexed, claimed his school was back in operation.

“You can go back there and check. We are back. Everybody is working. We have got most of our students back. I am in possession of my property.”

Ike said the landlord and bloggers were trying to “spoil” his name, describing the court judgement as a “kangaroo judgement.”

“I am already contesting that judgement. We would need to find out how he got that judgement and what gave him the right to do what he did,” he added.

While insisting the issue wasn’t supposed to be a public knowledge, Ike claimed he had invested so much in the property and wasn’t ready to allow “somebody to rubbish” him just because of his celebrity status.

“The place was just a carcass when we leased it five years ago. It was terrible. We sweated and made it what it is today. Now, after seeing that the place has turned around, the man wants to come and reclaim it just like that.

“We were trying to settle amicably. We had gone for arbitration but before we knew what was happening, the man went and got a kangaroo judgement. I am not going to let the matter die like that. This is a sweat of my youth. I have invested so much in the property. Most of the students are even on scholarship. All my efforts can’t go for nothing,” the actor said.

Singer Flavour Gives Back To Alma Mater

Nigeria’s hottest music sensation and  highlife fusion musician, Flavour Nabania has remembered his Alma Mater, College of Immaculate Conception,CIC, Enugu, as he donated musical equipment to the school in appreciation of the role it played in his musical career.
Flavour was at the school during the week where he was received at the  assembly ground alongside his band members, management team and close associates to a rousing applause by a massive presence of students numbering about 4000 and the school authorities.
In a brief speech, Flavour  shared a memorable moving story of his life while at CIC Enugu with the students;
“I’m using this opportunity to announce the annual Mr. Flavour Nabania excellence in music star prize of $1,000. This prize will be given to the best graduating student of music every year. Music knowledge is key to be a successful musician like me.
Remember to be yourself, stay original and don’t ever forget the son or daughter of whom you are and where you’re coming from. By God’s grace I see many Flavours amongst you here today and pray God will guide your path and bless you too with success.”

Controversial Pastor Takes Money To Check Name in Book Of Life

The controversial Kenyan pastor,  Bishop Thomas Wahome collects money to check if your name is in the ‘book of life’.

It is said that Wahome owns the Helicopter of Christ ministries and the Kenyan media describe the “Man of God” and his church as “just out of this world” as he is “known to craft very bizarre ways of conning his flocks”.
Two years ago the cleric was charging KSh 1,200 (N 2,300) to anyone who wanted to touch his garment referring to the woman who touched Jesus’ clothes in the book of Mark. He claimed that people who touched his clothes were immediately cured from any disease.
Fresh reports indicate that pastor Wahome can “Check whether your name is the book of life”.
He is believed to check it for KSh 1,500 (N2,900) and actually ask God whether you are among those people who will go to heaven. 

My Wife Is Not My Type, Says Popular Actor

He made this comment while interviewed by Rolling Out magazine and asked to advise other men looking to settle down.
This is what he replied:

"While, I don’t consider myself a person that should write a book, or give advice on relationships, what I will share is my personal perspective. What helped me along the way was I had two personal friends of mine whose fiancés died. And I went through a personal struggle where my father got really sick, and I spent a week with him and it just dawned on me that we don’t have as much time as we think. And when you’re done playing games, and you find someone who has qualities that are much more practical as opposed to romanticized ideals, then you've got to hold on to them. People think that you’re supposed to marry your type … well, I didn’t marry my type. It’s much more practical, and based in a day-to-day existence. So when you have that, and you’re happy, and you love her, don’t waste time. Because time — and I’ve learned that at this point in my life — time is my most precious commodity. Nothing is more precious than time. Because when it runs out … that’s it."
It would be interesting to know how his wife reacted to this statements... Anyway, do you agree with the actor?

Voluntary Slavery: Lagos Youths Apply For N93 Per Hour Chinese Job!

N93 per hour work

Between 7am and 12pm of any week day, at least 60 youths, both male and female, besiege the entrance of Solpia Nigeria Limited, a company that manufactures artificial hair on Iju Road, Agege, Lagos.

The young men and women appear to be relentless because they are there everyday and remain at the gate of the Chinese company for hours before dispersing in twos and threes late in the evening.

One of the young men, Ayotunde Akinyo, who has become a regular “customer” among those who visit the company every morning, explained the reason why he had been parading the place with the hope of getting employed in the last six months.

 “Sometimes, the Chinese owners employ 50 people at a go out of the crowd of job seekers standing outside. Sometimes, they take just five. Before now, I used to come here irregularly, but it seemed that they usually employed on those days that I did not come. That is why I have been coming here regularly for the past six months,” he said.

Akinyo said he was 27 years old and had a Higher Diploma in Mechanical Engineering.

When he was asked by our correspondent whether he was aware of how much he could be paid if he was lucky to get employed, he said he knew.

The young polytechnic graduate said he knew that he would be paid N15,000, which translates to about N93 per hour for eight hours in five days a week. A worker had earlier hinted that the salary of a fresher in the company used to be N20,000 until it was recently slashed to N15,000.

“What other choice have I got? I did not just graduate and decided to come here. I had searched for jobs and was tired before I decided to come here,” Akinyo explained.

Akinyo found no reason to be ashamed as he was aware that there were many other graduates like him in the crowd.

SHAMEFUL! Female Corp Member Almost Stripped Naked For Wearing Trouser In Anambra Community

S-H-A-M-E-F-U-L!!!
Corp Members Almost Stripped Naked By Villagers
It is disheartening that Akwaihedi community in Nnewi South
Local Government Area of Anambra State passed a law
against the wearing of trousers by women in the year, 2014,
not even 1920s.
The irresponsible law which took immediate effect, had one
of its first casualties, a female members of the National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posted to the community, Ms
Grace Uduak, who was almost stripped by some sex perverts
and backward-looking villagers.
It took the intervention of some youths to prevent things from
getting out of hand.
The dehumanized corps member, Grace Uduak, said she was
shocked when the ruler slammed her for wearing the NYSC
uniform and the attack by the villagers.
According to some Youths of the Village that spoke with
Hope For Nigeria, the community leaders did not allow
policemen into their village, as their Out-of-touch, monarch
said the traditional court would handle domestic issues.
Hope For Nigeria is appealing to the Igwe of Akwaihedi
community in Nnewi South LGA of Anambra State and the
president-general of the town union, to repel this obnoxious
law with immediate effect.
These foolishness against poor Nigerians must stop! - Hope
For Nigeria .

Nigerian Hollywood Actor, Hakeem Kae Kazim Laments Nollywood Script Standard And Black Actors Discrimination In Hollywood

Can you remember cornel ike Dubaku in 24hrs?

Actor reveals why he rejects some Nollywood scripts
Hollywood actor, Hakeem Kae Kazim, has revealed that he turned down several Nollywood scripts as such scripts did not match his standard.
In an interview with HipHopWorld, the British-Nigerian, who played George Rutaganda in the Academy Award-nominated movie, Hotel Rwanda, also disclosed how director, Obi Emelonye, wooed him over to Nollywood with the script of Last Flight To Abuja.
“I did the TV series called 24, up in Los Angeles, United States, then one Nigerian director I had met at some film festivals said to me, ‘Nobody knows you are Nigerian in Nigeria’.
“I was shocked and he said, ‘You have to come home and do something’. Then a year and a half later, he presented a script, Inale. It was my first experience coming back into Nigeria and working in Nollywood. And then he said will I come and do his movie; it was Last Flight To Abuja. Again, the reason why I did it was because he was the director and one that is trying to move the Nollywood film experience to a higher level so I wanted to help him do that and so I came back and did Last Flight To Abuja, which was an interesting filming experience,” Mr. Kae-Kazim said.

He also noted the discrimination of black actors in Hollywood.

“Yes, there is discrimination in one sort of sense but the major fact is that in Hollywood, whites are the majority there. They are doing their own work and are just telling their own stories from their perspective and most times they just have a person of colour they want to put in as they deem fit. And I think it’s up to us to be able to tell our own stories. The most important thing is for the African race both in Hollywood and Nollywood to put together their resources to provide infrastructure and to start a process of telling their own stories so that the stories come from them and by them,” he said.
Mr. Kae-Kazim described his experience with Nollywood superstars, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Genevieve Nnaji, as good. He talked about how great it was for him to have come and experienced some of Nigerian talents and hopefully influence the talent and help raise everybody’s game.

REVEALED: Wande Coal And Olamide At War

Wande Coal and rap rave of the moment Olamide are  reportedly not on speaking terms. The brouhaha is believed to have started back in late 2012 when Olamide released his YBNL album.

On the track titled ‘Picture’, Olamide rapped about not letting his guard down when it comes to interacting with obsessed female fans.‘Oloso (prostitutes) thinking of how to ruin me, but I know what I’m doing/they want to Wande Coal me, they want to Davido me,’ he rapped. Both Wande Coal and Davido have been involved in controversies over n**e/half n**e photos purportedly leaked by women.

Wande Coal, we are told, was not impressed by Olamide’s reference to the incident.Months later, when Ice Prince was recording songs for his Fire of Zamani album, he called on Wande Coal, Yung L and Olamide to feature on a track called ‘Gimme dat’. Wande Coal had wrapped up his verse when he found out Olamide would also be featured on the song.

Sources say Wande wasn’t pleased with that and asked that he should not be featured on the same track with Olamide. Ice Prince, we are told, was forced to take Wande Coal’s verse off the song and replace it with a verse fromBurna Boy.

The song, produced by Chopstix, was released for digital download on April 24, 2013. Interestingly, a previous version of the song, which featured Wande Coal’s verse, leaked on the internet four months later, August 23, 2013.

You Need To Read This! Drama As Ogun APC Member, Tajudeen Diamonds Declares Presidential Ambition

he potential presidential aspirant presented a 19-point
agenda.
A mild drama occurred on Monday at a stakeholders
meeting of the Ogun All Progressives Congress, APC, when
a member of the audience announced his intention to
contest for the presidency in 2015 and sought for the
party’s support.
The meeting, which took place at the June 12 Cultural
Centre, Abeokuta, was presided over by the Ogun State
Governor, Ibikunle Amosun. In attendance were leaders of
the party as well as members across all the 20 local
government areas.
The presidential aspirant, Tajudeen Diamonds ( photo below), declared his
ambition during the question and answer session. The
moderator had asked participants who had questions to ask
to raise their hands. Mr. Diamonds did, and he was called
to speak.
Handed the microphone, Mr. Diamonds stated that he had
come all the way from Kano State to attend the
stakeholders’ meeting in Abeokuta and to seek for the
party’s support ahead of the 2015 elections.
“I am from Kano. I love APC. I love Amosun and I want to
say this publicly that I want to contest the presidential
election under the banner of APC, our party. How do I go
about this because I need your support?” he asked.
His frank declaration was greeted with laughter by the
baffled gathering. At this point, the Master of Ceremony,
perhaps presuming that all was not right with the potential
presidential aspirant, discreetly took the microphone from
Mr. Diamonds.
In an interview with PREMIUM TIMES after the event, Mr.
Diamonds rolled out his 19-point agenda which included 18
hours of power supply nationwide, the establishment of 36
Federal Universities of Agriculture, the creation of 300,000
jobs for each state, camera on every street across Nigeria,
more barracks, several National Film Institutes, N16,000
monthly salary for youth between the ages of 18 and 25 as
well as the construction of six refineries, among others.
Mr. Diamonds also made a case for a tenure of five years
for political office holders and stated that he would fix
minimum wage at N25,000.
He also disclosed that he had already printed over one
million posters, which would be distributed across Nigeria
in due course.
