Make Me Nigeria’s President – Davido

Image
Young Nigeria’s multi-award-winning musician and businessman, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has said he is good enough be Nigeria’s President. The 22-year-old said this in a 45 second speech for MTV Base’s Choose or Lose Vox Pop programme. He also used the medium to do what some consider as arbitrary campaigning. Davido said: “Yes I’m voting, I want my voice to be heard, there’s no point in complaining if you are not going to vote. I think I’m good enough to be president, because it’s me, I want to be the president. I’ll fix all the bad roads, I’ll fix up the currency of course, and different other things, as much as I can do in a day I’ll do.”

Kwaw Kese refuses invitation to "roll a joint" to celebrate Stars' victory

Image
Controversial Ghanaian rapper, Kwaw Kese has refused invitations from some of his twitter fans to step out into the full glare of the public and smoke ‘wee’ in honour of the Ghana Black Stars who have qualified for the quarter-finals stage in the Afcon. The Black Stars yesterday outplayed South Africa in a thrilling game at the Estadio de Mongomo Tuesday, but it was the Bafana Bafana who drew the first blood in the 17th minute’s courtesy a Mandla Masango strike from the edge of the box. The score line in the tough game remained 1-0 in favour of the Rainbow Nation until the recess. The win got every Ghanaian excited spontaneously sparking a twitter blitz. But amidst the excitement, 'Abodam’ who is facing charges for publicly smoking weed was sure not to give himself away to the temptation of implicating himself in an act that has already got him in trouble with the law. He was asked in a tweet that: "Shall we roll a joint? In public??", He answered: "I beg". An...

LOOKING AT THE POSITIVE SIDE-..LETS ENJOY FROM DUMSO DUMSO

Image
In light (apologies for the ironic use of the word in this context) of the current power shortage, and due to the great impact this is having on our economical and domestic levels, I have humbly submitted the following succinct guide to surviving, making it through, and even thriving under the current load shedding. Talk to friends. No, not chat, talk to friends. Hopefully the power stays off long enough that all batteries go flat and we are actually forced to talk to each other. Start by looking in a person’s eyes. They will look back. Talk. Try and engage in authentic communication. It’s cathartic. It will solve most of our political deadlocks. It’s cheaper than a doctor Read. Not phone texts — read books. Go to the library. You don’t need electricity to open the pages of a book. To fill the long stretches, when ECG decides to punctuate the ruthless bustle of everyday life with a 12-hour blackout, challenge yourself by making it your mission to read all the major long educati...

On The Party Scene: TI. Birdman, and Young Thug Party It Up At IVY In Miami

Image
Young Thug Hosts IVY with Birdman, TI Young Thug hosted Varsity Lifestyle Group’s Friday Night Party at IVY Nightclub on Miami Beach. At about 1:30 am the Young Thug, closely accompanied by Birdman and the rest of the Rich Gang (an entourage of over 20) arrived at IVY. The crew popped over 15 bottles in their private “pent-house” section overlooking the crowd before making their way over to the DJ booth. About 15 minutes later, TI himself stole the show from Young Thug — arriving very quietly and requesting his bottles to be sent without sparklers or commotion. After enjoying a few drinks, TI took to the stage, performing his hit “About the Money” — originally featuring Young Thug — all by himself. Naturally, the crowd went wild. He ended the performance shouting “IT’s THE KING!” into the mic and jumps off booth. But for some reason the Rich Gang entourage had vacated the club by this time… It was definitely a night meant to be about YOUNG THUG and of course Bi...

Milan drop Muntari for Italian Cup match

Image
Ac Milan boss Filippo Inzaghi has left Sulley Muntari out of the team that faced Sassuolo on Tuesday in the Italian Cup match. Reason’s for Muntari’s exclusion has been directly linked to his violent reaction to his substitution in the draw with Torino over the weekend. Milan did not report of an injury to the 30-year-old despite his conspicuous absence in the past two training sessions. His absence is thus being interpreted as punishment for his violent reaction to being subbed in the Serie-A game against Torino. The former Inter Milan man furiously threw away a Milan shirt as he sat on the bench having been replaced by Andrea Poli. Several football fans – especially staunch supporters of the Rossoneri – have called for stiff punishment for the Ghanaian who has a tall record of unruly behaviour in his professional career. There are hints the club is preparing a hefty fine as punishment for the feisty midfielder.

How im living 2015 –kweku Flaeva

Image
Ever since the year 2015 begun, I’ve always had this feeling that has hardly been there. I just feel like the year 2015 has a lot to offer. A lot more to offer than I can possibly think of. I have already started seeing a whole lot of signs of improvements towards my life. I’ve gained more confidence in myself, I must say. I don’t delay in trying to get what I want. This year has so far been objective. At least that’s the best word I can use to describe it, and I think what really helps is that I stopped procrastinating. These days every morning after a prayer, I pick up my fone and add events to my to do list. If you’re reading this and you also want to achieve a lot, then I urge you to try this for a whole week, then after the week passes by, sit down and compare the just ended week to others, and you’ll be shocked by your level of achievement. That week would feel like a month. Add every tiny or less important event to your to do list. Also, one thing you should do away wi...
