The Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has described as laughable the inclusion of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro in the ministerial nominees’ list sent to the National Assembly for consideration by President Goodluck Jonathan.
In a statement
by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Mr Joe Igbokwe, the APC wondered what value the President was expecting from a minister who recently resigned from the Federal Executive Council, FEC, to add to the nation.
The party said the PDP government could not take Nigeria and Nigerians to loftier heights with the recycling of people.
The statement reads: “Is Musiliu Obanikoro the only Lagosians qualified to serve in the Federal Executive Council? As a minister, Obanikoro recently left the Jonathan cabinet to pursue a failed governorship ambition.”
“Why is it that the President has turned the FEC to a games’ room and not for serious-minded personalities? Is the nomination Jonathan’s way of placating the former minister who lost the PDP governorship ticket in primary that returned more ballot than the number of accredited delegates?
“We, in the APC are of the view that the nomination is President Jonathan’s endorsement for lawlessness and abuse.
“Obanikoro’s screening by the National Assembly will be closely monitored and the APC believes it will not be a ‘bow and go’ affair for Obanikoro at the Upper Legislative Chamber.”

For the first time since same sex marriage was legalized in Thailand, three gay men decided to marry as one union, according to wedding photos uploaded to the Internet.
The three men, identified only as Joke, Bell, and Art, uploaded their wedding photos on the Internet, and they went viral on Facebook and Twitter.
Most social media users who saw the images congratulated them and also reshared the photos.
In one of the photos taken before the wedding, the three men announced that their traditional wedding ceremony will take place at midnight on Sunday, but they did not say where the party will be held.
They also published a photo of their traditional wedding ceremony, which shows two of them kissing the one in the middle.
Another photo shows the three men holding hands with a caption saying: “The three of us will forever hold hands and walk together.”
The Minister of Petroleum resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, Wednesday, broke her silence over allegations that she expended N10 billion on leasing of jets for her use, describing the allegation as mere fabrication.
Though the minister failed to disclose how much the corporation had actually spent on leasing planes said that although the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), had a jet that was meant for her use, she took the advice of aviation experts to sell it off since it was bought and parked abroad for some years, thereby raising safety concerns.
Alison-Madueke, who spoke at an interactive session with some journalists in Abuja, insisted that she was being framed by her accusers because of her decision to change the Nigerian oil industry for the benefit of the country.
Speaking further, the minister said it was a common practice all over the world to lease jets to run the highly technical and competitive oil industry, adding that it was more cost effective than buying.
According to her, it would have been unwise for anyone to spend N10 billion in leasing jets, an amount which can conveniently buy three new jets depending on the type.
Alison-Maduake however,
According to her, hiring of jets for official function had been in practice since the establishment of the NNPC, a practice she said was meant to enable the corporation carry out its oversight functions over players in the sector.
She said: “When I started work as minister, there was an oil aircraft but I was advised not to use it because of safety issues and we had to lease some planes for use. I was advised that it was more cost effective to lease planes for our operations.
“Based on what we were advised, and having added the figures, we felt satisfied it was better to be leasing plane for use. For the N10 billion, one can buy three planes. I don’t know how they came about that huge figure ascribed to me. It is unfortunate for some people to just sit down and accuse people without any fact or figure”.
She describe the allegation as disappointing, insisting that the NNPC, under her, had been most transparent since its inception, as she had tried to improve the system of corporate governance in accordance with global best practice.

Music superstar Jay Z has been hit with a shocking claim that could potentially rock his marriage to wife Beyonce.
According to court documents, he is currently tied up in an ugly legal battle with a man who claims he is the rapper’s son!
A document that show Shawn Corey Carter [Jay Z] was sued by 21 year-old Rymir Satterthwaite, an aspiring rapper, in 2014.
Satterthwaite told a New Jersey court that his mother, Wanda, had a steamy affair with Jay Z in the 1990s, and that HOVA has done everything in his power to cover it up.
According to a magazine, Satterthwaite, through his legal guardian – a paralegal name Lillie Colley accused Blue Ivy’s dad of lying to the court to avoid taking a paternity test.
In 2010, a judge dismissed a similar case in which Satterthwaite’s mother tried to force Jay Z to submit the paternity test after another man turned out not to be the young man’s father.

In 2010, a judge dismissed a similar case in which Satterthwaite’s mother tried to force Jay Z to submit the paternity test after another man turned out not to be the young man’s father.
After examining photos of Jay Z and the picture that The ENQUIRER took on Feb. 3 of Satterthwaite, Dr. Anthony Youn, a leading plastic surgeon, tells the magazine that the pair’s similar features could suggest that Jay Z is his biological father.
“Their facial structures appear very similar ! It could be a sign of inheritance,” says Youn.
Although a spokesperson for Jay Z did not return The ENQUIRER’s request for comment, the magazine points out that Satterthwaite “has been struggling to pay college and medical bills, as he said on his website – all while dealing with the trauma of profound rejection.”
This will be the second case in which the rapper is accused of fathering a child outside of wedlock. In 2011, Jay Z reportedly paid model Shanelle Scott $1 million in return for keeping his name off of a birth certificate of a son that she claimed he fathered 13 years prior.
The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has again insisted his Commission was set for the now postponed February 14 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Jega, who is appearing before the Senate, once again placed the reason for the shift squarely on the National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Dasuki Sambo, and the Service Chiefs.
The INEC helmsman also used his appearance before the Upper Chamber to display the workings of the Permanent Voter Cards and Card Reader Machines to the Senators.
Jega said both electoral instruments are in accordance with the Electoral Laws.
The INEC boss said the Card Reader Machines can work for 12 hours without electricity and had already been tested in 13 states.
According to him, INEC is empowered to change the Temporary Voter Cards with the PVCs.
He said the six weeks period of extension for the election will further ensure free and fair elections.
Jega tested the use of the PVC and the Card Reader Machines with the PVC of Senator Bukura Yerima.
As soon as the PVC was slotted into the Card Reader Machine, it displayed the photograph of Yerima, who is from Zamfara State.
Funny clip of an awkward moment where a TV host seized the opportunity to address some personal issues publicly, which probably has been bothering him.
During a live interview TV host Danny Clayton used the air time with Kolohe to publicly shame him for allegedly texting his girlfriend, model Zoe Cross.
Danny said: ‘I’ve got some tips for Kolohe, too, actually, stay the f*** away from my girlfriend.
‘I’ve seen the texts you’ve been sending her, and they’re making her feel uncomfortable.’
And if that wasn’t awkward enough, he went on Instagram to rub sea salt into the surfer’s wounds.
Underneath a photo of Zoe, Danny wrote ‘#sheistaken’.
Obviously, the former militant is in the Holy city of Mecca to pray.
That hasnt stop him from being active in affair of his belowed country.
Asari Dokubo took to his facebook acount where he posted this message to APC with some photos from his stay in the Holy City.
Sudan President Omar al-Bashir has alleged that the American and Israeli intelligence agencies are responsible for Boko Haram and Islamic State (ISIS) insurgency in Africa. According to him, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israel’s national intelligence institute (Mossad) are behind Boko Haram and ISIS attacks in Africa.
Speaking to Euronews in an interview, al-Bashir said no Muslim could do what the sects do, suggesting that it was the intention of US and Israel to increase enmity against Islam. “I said CIA and the Mossad stand behind these organisations; there is no Muslim who would carry out such acts,” he said. The 25-year-long ruler of Sudan advised that the battle against ISIS and Boko Haram should not be confronted with military power alone, but also with ideological conversion of the radicals. “Our policy has been largely successful; after we arrest these young people, we bring a group of young scholars to engage in dialogue with them about their thoughts, and we succeed to bring a lot of them back from their radical ideas,” he said. Earlier, Lebanon’s Hezbollah group had also claimed that CIA and Mossad were behind the terrorist sects in Nigeria, Syria and Iraq. The 71-year-old also spoke as regards the Human Rights Watch (HRW) that 200 women were raped and abused in Sudan, stating that the claims were “opposition-run and Israel funded”. Al-Bashir took over power in June 1989 and has since ruled the north-eastern African country as its seventh president.
The controversial N4.5 billion Sunborn Yacht Hotel, brought from England and moored on the Lagos waters for over four years, has finally disappeared from the state after the controversies surrounding its ownership.
It will be recalled that the custom built yacht, with 102 elegant suites, arrived the Lagos waters in November 2008 and instantly became a cynosure of all eyes.
The yacht, expected to serve as a four star hotel, was, however , bedeviled by controversies since its arrival which led to it abandonment and subsequent rusting away on the water-ways.
When Vanguard visited the quay, by the Army Officers’ Mess at Marina, Lagos Island Local Government Area, there was no sign that such expensive and eye catching structure ever berthed there.
Enquiries from the state government and even residents of the state yielded no result as no one could say specifically what happened to the multi_purpose built yacht that moored on the state water for over four years.Commissioner for Tourism, Mr. Oladisun Holloway, when asked to comment on the development denied the state government’s knowledge of the where about of the supposed ‘first African luxury hotel on water’.
According to Holloway; “As citizens of the state can’t find it, so is the state government also. The government can’t say precisely where the Yacht is berthed at present.”
The commissioner reiterated that “the state government doesn’t have any commitment in the yacht. And I don’t know why the residents of the state should be interested in whereabouts of the Sunborn yacht.
Even though the war of words between Khloe Kardashian and Amber Rose has stopped for now, a Keeping up with the Kardashians family insider reveals that the feud is far from over!
“Khloe would not stop and it took a sister intervention yesterday to put an end to the back and forth between her and Amber,” the source tells RadarOnline exclusively. “She was so riled up about this that she really wants to have some face-to-face words with Amber.”
The Twitter battle started Monday when the 31-year-old outspoken model slammed Kardashian’s 17-year-old sister, Kylie Jenner, calling her a “baby” in reference to her alleged relationship with bad-boy rapper, Tyga.
Kardashian quickly struck back at Rose in a tweet that read, “I was a stripper since I was 15 years old,” Amber Rose told Foxx. Please don’t worry about my sister who has a career & her shit (1).”
As Radar previously reported, following Kardashian’s stripper comment, things got nasty between the two dueling divas. Rose even created a meme featuring Kanye West that said, “When ur sister in law calls out ur ex for being a stripper. But ur wife has a sex tape.”
The model, 37, who was engaged to West before he married Khloe’s sister Kim Kardashian, 34, was, of course, speaking about Kim’s infamous sex tape in 2007.
Rose then directly addressed Kardashian on Twitter and said, “I’ll be that lil wh*re to support my family like ur older sister is a wh*re 2 support hers,” she said. “We’re even.”
According to the source, “Khloe could not believe that she called out Kim’s video because that is the lowest of lows and it is the one thing that no one ever says to any of them. The fact that she called her a wh*re infuriated her.”
“Kim’s sex video has almost been the pink elephant in the room for years, so when Amber threw that out, Khloe just went off.”
A shocking video has emerged online showing Chelsea fans refusing to let a black man board a train on the Paris underground.
Blues fans were in the French capital for their club’s Champions League clash with PSG, and it’s believed this footage was filmed before the kick-off.
It shows a number of Chelsea supporters refusing to allow a black man to board a train, whilst chanting ‘We’re racist, we’re racist and that’s the way we like it’.
The man is pushed forcefully back on to the platform as he tries to board the packaged carriage, and then appears to be threatened when he tried again.
Chelsea have refused to comment on the video.
So this still happens, thought we grown pass that age..
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has vowed to disrupt Nigeria’s general election in a new video released Tuesday, after two suicide attacks in the northeast blamed on the Islamists killed 38 people.
“This election will not be held even if we are dead. Even if we are not alive Allah will never allow you to do it,” Shekau said in the Hausa language, presumably referring to the polls scheduled for March 28.
The video appeared to be the first message released by the group on Twitter, a sign of its changing media tactics after previous messages were distributed to journalists on DVD.
Shekau was shown in unusual clarity in front of a solid blue background, dressed in black and with an automatic weapon resting to his right.
He also claimed a weekend attack in the northeast Nigerian city of Gombe, which the military says was repelled.
The Islamist leader, declared a global terrorist by the United States and sanctioned by the United Nations, disputed the military’s account of the Gombe clashes, claiming that his fighters overran troops and freed insurgents from prison.
Nigeria’s general election had been scheduled for February 14 but was postponed by six weeks, with the security services saying they needed more time to contain the violence in the northeast, Boko Haram’s stronghold.
Despite Shekau’s threat, experts doubt that the Islamist rebels have the capacity to disrupt voting nationwide, although election officials have conceded that voting could prove impossible in parts of the northeast.
World boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather has just got an extravagant ride not for himself, but for his 14 year old daughter
It was reported, Mayweather called up Fusion Luxury Motors around 2am a few days ago to order a white 2015 Rolls Royce Wraith, telling the luxury dealer that the ride would be for his ex, so that his daughter could “ride in style.” They immediately starting working on the ride and shipped it to Vegas later that day.
“When his daughter and [the mother of his child] saw the car, they went nuts,” says Obi Okeke of Fusion Luxury Motors. “They were so appreciative and thankful.
Floyd has always been known for giving exotic things so we not suprise!! Remember he got a bently the other time for....
Rotimi Amaechi, governor of Rivers state, has accused Patience Jonathan, wife of Nigeria’s president and Nyesom Wike, the PDP gubernatorial candidate in the state, of instigating the attack on supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Okrika on Tuesday.
Speaking with journalists at the Shehu Yar’Adua centre in Abuja after a meeting with APC leaders still on Tuesday, Amaechi expressed disappointment with the inability of law enforcement agents to ensure a hitch-free campaign for his party. “Clearly, the wife of the president does not want APC to campaign in Okrika, her local government area,” he said. “The wife of the president and the governorship candidate of Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers again organised thugs to disrupt APC rally. As usual, the police couldn’t protect us, over 200 police men. “I asked the commissioner of police and he said they had over 200 policemen there. Yet, three explosions and then they opened fire on members of APC.
The Channels TV reporter I hear, is injured, stabbed, and members of APC injured. “We had meetings with DSS (Directorate of State Security) and police and they confirmed we could go ahead. There were 200 policemen and there were over 20 to 30 DSS men who came there and they did nothing.” When asked if election could take place in the state as a result of the frequent rate of violence, Amaechi said only President Goodluck Jonathan could respond to that. “You should ask the president, it’s not me you should be asking,” he said. “If he is in Sambisa, if he is in Borno fighting the 14 local government areas. Like I said, there were crises in the Niger Delta in 2007 and there were elections. So if the 14 local governments of Borno and Adamawa and Yobe, he can’t go ahead with election, then where is he going ahead with election when the whole of Rivers state is being invaded by PDP and PDP thugs and security men are watching and doing nothing?”
Madam Oluwole is the mother of 30-year-old Taiwo Oluwole who has been arrested by eagle-eyed anti-robbery detectives in Lagos State.
The mother of four on seeing her first son being paraded as a suspected armed robber, she broke down and started crying out loud, telling everybody that cared to listen that her son could not have done any bad thing ordinarily.
‘’He went into robbery after having spiritual attack. As a mother, I have done all I could to make sure that Taiwo becomes useful to himself. After his father died, I tried my best with the little I had to ensure that he completed his secondary school education, - She lamented
After that, I enrolled him in a printing outfit as an apprentice. He was attached to his boss for about a year and six months when he stopped. That was when I began to notice these despicable behaviours of his.
‘’I started with prayers, no result. I took him to various native doctors and prayer homes for deliverance yet, nothing changed. Rather, he got worse by the day. He has not always been like this, which is why I strongly believe this is the work of the enemy to render my son useless in life. I have never collected anything from him because I know the source of anything that comes through him is not clean. Even when he buys a gift for me, I reject it because I am strongly against his way of life. ‘’
The suspect and one Segun Ogunlodo aka Sangbere, 26, and Akeem Raji were alleged to be members of a five-man armed robbery gang said to be terrorizing Ebute-Meta, Oko-Baba, Oyingbo and its environs.
The arrest of Taiwo Oluwole at the scene of a robbery operation at about 2a.m. reportedly led to the arrest of the other two suspects while efforts are in top gear to apprehend other members of the gang.
Confessing to the crime, Taiwo Oluwole said: ‘’ I am an armed robber and I have participated in several robbery operations. I started out as a pick-pocket, later I started breaking into people’s houses and stealing their valuables. Thereafter I graduated into full-fledged armed robbery two years ago. I bought the gun from Segun Ogunlodo. He sold the gun to me for N18, 000.
‘’I really can’t explain why or how I went into robbery, because after my secondary education, I went to learn printing for a year and six months but I didn’t complete my apprenticeship.
As 10 African nations plan to contribute $100m to combat deadly sect, the Boko Haram Monday threatened neighbouring countries Niger and Chad, warning the fighters were prepared to carry out suicide bombings in the countries sending troops to help fight the militants.
The warning came as leaders from Niger and other countries in the region gathered in Cameroon’s capital to finalize plans for a joint offensive against the militants who have stepped up their attacks in recent weeks.
In a translation published by the SITE Intelligence Group, Boko Haram sharply criticized Niger for joining the effort and said the country was being dragged into a “swamp of darkness.” Over the last 10 days, Boko Haram fighters have repeatedly struck the town of Diffa but not the capital.
“If you insist on continuing the aggression and the coalition with the government of Chad, then we give you glad tidings that the land of Niger is easier than the land of Nigeria and moving the war to the depth of your cities will be the first reaction toward any aggression that occurs after this statement,” it said, according to SITE’s transcript.
A multinational force to fight Boko Haram is expected to be formally launched in coming weeks. Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin initially pledged to help Nigeria. On Monday, Burundi and Central African Republic also agreed to contribute troops to fight the militant group.
The Islamic extremist group has fought a five-year insurgency against Nigeria’s government, leaving 10,000 people dead last year alone. The violence has forced some 157,000 people to seek refuge in Niger, while 40,000 others have gone to Cameroon and 17,000 are in Chad, the U.N. said. Almost 1 million Nigerians are internally displaced, according to the country’s own statistics.
On Monday, leaders in Central Africa said that 10 member states had agreed to contribute most of the $100 million needed to combat Boko Haram. They did not state how much had been raised nor how much is remaining despite calling for the creation of an emergency fund to bridge the difference.
Egyptians, both Christians and Muslims, are mourning the deaths of their countrymen after ISIS released a graphic video appearing to show the execution of 21 Coptic Christians.
Retaliation was swift, as Egyptian warplanes bombed ISIS training camps and arms depots in Libya overnight. Alex Ortiz reports from Cairo.
A spokesman for the Armed Forces General Command announced the strikes on state radio Monday, marking the first time Cairo has publicly acknowledged taking military action in neighboring Libya, which has been beset by militia violence for months.
The statement said the warplanes targeted weapons caches and training camps before returning safely. It said the strikes were “to avenge the bloodshed and to seek retribution from the killers.”
“Let those far and near know that Egyptians have a shield that protects them,” it said.
State television showed footage of Egyptian fighter jets it said were taking off to conduct the strikes.
“The air strikes hit their targets precisely, and the falcons of our air forces returned safely to their bases,” the military’s statement said.
We affirm that avenging Egyptian blood and retaliating against criminals and killers is a duty we must carry out.” The air strikes came hours after the jihadists posted gruesome footage of the beheadings on the Internet, sparking outrage in Egypt and demands for revenge.
A visibly angry President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Egypt “reserves the right to respond in a suitable way and time” in a televised speech, and declared seven days of mourning.
United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan said the killings underlined the need for greater support for Libya’s beleaguered internationally recognised government, which was ousted from the capital Tripoli last August.
The UAE “supports, with all its capabilities, Egypt’s efforts in eradicating terrorism and violence directed at its nationals and affirms its position in standing alongside and its complete solidarity with it,” Sheikh Abdullah said.
“The criminals must strongly and decisively receive the punishment they deserve without any hesitancy,” he added.
The graphic video showing 21 Egyptian Christians being beheaded in Libya as a “message signed with blood to the nations of the cross”.
“We will conquer Rome,” one of the executioners warns after committing the bloody act.
“The sea you have hidden Osama bin Laden’s body in, we will mix it with your blood”.
Unlike previous videos from Syria and Iraq, this video — released early this morning Australian time — reveals the brutal moment the hostages were killed.
“All crusaders: safety for you will be only wishes, especially if you are fighting us all together. Therefore we will fight you all together,” he said.
The footage released online shows handcuffed hostages wearing orange Guantanamo-Bay style jumpsuits, each accompanied by a masked militant.
The men are made to kneel and one militant addresses the camera in English before the men are simultaneously beheaded on the seashore near the Libyan capital of Tripoli.
The water is then shown stained red with their blood.
The makers of the video identify themselves as the Tripoli Province of the Islamic State group — the Islamic militant group that controls about a third of Syria and Iraq.
The video, titled “A message signed with blood to the nation of the cross”, has a scrolling caption in the first few seconds saying it is directed at “People of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian Church”.
The All Progressives Congress, APC in Ekiti State, has said it will proceed to Supreme Court to challenge the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Abuja that upheld Governor Ayodele Fayose’s election
The Court of Appeal held that Governor Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was the duly elected governor of Ekiti State.
But the APC in its reaction, stressed that there were other salient but fundamental issues that ought to have been addressed by the judgment.
The party in a statement in Ado Ekiti, yesterday, by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said that though the court ruled in Fayose’s favour, it was gratifying that judicial declaration was given to APC’s complaint on illegal deployment of troops to harass and intimidate the opposition during the election.
He added that the party also succeeded in proving that Fayose was legally impeached in 2006 as resolved by the Appeal Court in its judgment.
He stressed, however, that the party would appeal the judgment to the Supreme Court, as there were other issues that should have been addressed by the judgment.
“The judgment has vindicated us on our complaint that it was illegal for the ruling party to deploy troops to intimidate the opponents during election to influence victory for its candidate because this is a clear infringement on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the use of the military.
“The recent audio leak about how the election was rigged by PDP chieftains, including the present beneficiary who used the army to terrorise innocent Ekiti citizens, has further lent credence to our petition that the election was neither free nor fair.
“We are also vindicated that Fayose was legally impeached in 2006. As observed in the judgment, it is now left for the National Assembly to look into the nation’s law whether it is right and lawful to allow a man that was impeached over gross misconduct , public funds embezzlement and violation of the constitution to re-contest the position he had earlier lost over such constitutional breaches,” Olatubosun said.
Aisha Buhari, the wife of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) is under seriously criticism as regards the source of the N135 million she allegedly donated to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in parts of Adamawa State on Wednesday.
The said donation raise eyebrows in the light of Buhari’s persistent claims that he is not a rich man
Reacting to the donation a politician resident in Lagos State, wondered where Mrs. Buhari got the money when a few months ago, her husband claimed that he had to borrow N20 million to enable him purchase the Expression of Interest form for the APC presidential primaries.
He added: “Where did this woman get the money? As far as we know, Madam Buhari is not a business woman.
“If it is true the husband could not afford N20 million to buy the APC presidential form, how come she could boast of such an amount to donate to charity?”
He said it is either Buhari had been lying to Nigerians about his wealth status or he is not a good family man, in which case he may lack the capacity to manage the whole country successfully.
Aisha Buhari, who was accompanied by five APC leaders’ wives, including former Plateau State Deputy Governor, Pauline Tallen; Judith Amaechi; Mairo Al-Makura; Toyin Saraki and former Women Affairs Minister, Hajiya Hajjo Sani, distributed drugs worth over N135 million to the displaced persons.
She had expressed deep sympathy for the IDPs, saying she was deeply touched by their plight, saying: “We cannot pretend not to see the situation you people are into.”
At the Damare NYSC Camp, which is the most populous camp in the state capital, Buhari’s wife regretted that thousands of families were displaced by Boko Haram insurgents, attributing it to “lack of good leadership in the country.”
She added that human lives should not be toyed with for political gains.
She said: “I am not here for politics nor for religion but because we’re really touched by the condition you found yourselves. We are here to share your grief.”
Mrs. Buhari urged Nigerians to embrace the opportunity of change coming to the nation as it is the only way out for the country to salvage itself from its current drift.
There have been different faction on the possible cause of the split between Don Jazzy and Dbanj and the Mo'hits Crew.
The Koko master on this revealing episode of "The TRUTH" with Olisa Adibua tells us nothing but the truth and has pointed at Dr Sid as the person responsible for his walking away from Don Jazzy and the rest of Mo’hits crew in a split that at the time reverberated across the Nigerian music industry.
He said, “Dr Sid was jealous. He felt I was overshadowing his glory.”
After Mo’Hits split in 2012, Don Jazzy moved on to float Mavin Records which initially included Wande Coal, D’Prince, Dr Sid and Tiwa Savage.
K-Switch went with his brother who created DB Records. But D’banj also said even his brother K-switch, wasn’t in his corner at the beginning of the row.
He also said, “I was heartbroken. K-Switch is my brother, but the truth is K-Switch was with them. My people were not comfortable with me again.”
The African entertainer recalled the moment he fell out with producer Don Jazzy. He noted that trouble started soon after he and Don Jazzy were signed to American rapper/producer, Kanye West’s Good Music label. Jazzy wasn’t comfortable with them moving to New York when they could stay back in Nigeria and still remain “bosses”.
“I’m like, we are almost there. (New York) is expensive but we can’t guarantee because it’s a doggy world out there. I said to him: listen, brother, this is not uncertainty. For Kanye West to see us, na God. And he said he didn’t want us to do it again.”
The Kokomaster said he did try to make things work but to no avail.
“I told Don Jazzy to give me six months to convince him again, maybe to sell my share to someone else, take the money and go try again.”
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has admitted that using a multi-button action to reboot or login to a PC, call up a Windows task manager or arrest a hang was a mistake.
Gates was speaking at Harvard University when he blamed IBM for the decision to use Crtl Alt Delete to reboot a PC.
According to the multi-billionaire philanthropist, Microsoft wanted a single button, but someone at IBM who was in charge of hardware design disagreed.
"We could have had a single button, but the guy who did the IBM keyboard design didn't want to give us our single button," he said, according to the Verge.
A single button might have been preferred by Gates and Microsoft but users could have pressed it by accident and thrown a Microsoft spanner into their work.
There is a certain satisfaction in pressing the three keys when you are faced with the infamous Blue Screen of Death, and for decades it has been a quick fix for hung Windows PC systems. The key combination is not needed on Apple computers or PCs running Linux, which are seldom rebooted, so it is not used on those.
On later versions of Windows it is used to bring up a task manager menu, and perhaps fittingly this page is coloured blue.
One way to use a single button would have been to use a large red button protected by a cover.
IBM engineer David Bradley invented the three key system, saying that the key combination was selected because it was hard to press by accident. Bradley famously thanked Gates for making his invention so popular.
