FG can't meet asuu demands -okonjo iweala. Hopes of quick resolution of the present face-off between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities were dashed on Tuesday as the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said the government has no resources to meet the union demands. Foreclosing possible truce to the five-week old industrial action that has paralysed academic activities in the nation’s ivory towers, Okonjo-Iwela said the striking university lecturers were asking for #92 billion in extra allowances, maintaining that government lack means of picking the bill.Speaking in Minna at the annual National Council on Finance and Economic Development meeting, the minister said that ASUU demand was coming at a time government was making efforts at reducing the structure of public expenditures.The theme of the meeting is:“Restructuring Nigeria’s Finances.”She said, “At present ASUU wants the government to pay N92 billion in extra allowances when resources are not there and when we are working to integrate past increases in pensions.We need to make choices in this country as we are getting to the stage where recurrent expenditures take the bulk of our resources and people get paid but can do no work.”

• Actress Fathia Balogun's Involvement In My Crashed Marriage –Moji Olaiya Speaks. A lot has been said about the alleged involvement of divorced actress, Fathia Balogun, in the issues that led to the crashed of actress Moji Olaiya's marriage. Now Moji herself opened up on the issues... The popular actress, in a chat with 'Nonye Ben-Nwankwo of Punch, about her career and why she walked out of her troubled marriage. Excerpt:You are in a soon to be released soap, Glass House. How did it come about?A producer we call Jerry (Isichei) produced it. I am a major cast in the series.Most people know you as a Yoruba actress, but you are now featuring in an English series.But this is not my first job in English. Don't forget that I came to the limelight through Super Story and which of course, was in English. I am also in Nowhere to be Found, which is another popular soap.We learnt that you played the role of an illiterate woman in Glass HouseYes, and it was very challenging. I got married to a bank chairman in the series and I am also a publisher. I played 'Moji' even in the series. The character is just a very funny person. I must tell you the soap is very interesting. I am very happy I played that part.You have not produced any movie in recent timesThe last movie I produced was last year and it even won an award. It was premiered in Canada at the Toronto film festivals. The market is not really encouraging now. That is why most producers are really calming down to see the outcome of this piracy issue. That is why most people are not doing movies now.Are you saying you didn't make enough from your last movie?We didn't make what we expected because of piracy. However, the movie sold. It won the best movie award at last year's Yoruba Movies Academy Awards. It was also screened at the Africa Movies Academy Awards.But it wasn't nominated in any category.I don't know what happened. As far as I know, it was well shot. It had good picture quality.Will you say your father's name has opened a lot of doors for you?I'll say yes. Let's take for instance my state, Ekiti State. Most things they call my father to do, because he is old and cannot be travelling up and down, they call me to do them. I even remember the first time I went to the German Embassy for a visa. Getting the visa was very quick because the lady that attended to me knew who my father was. I got the visa. I am proud to be associated with him as somebody I can call my father. There are so many legends out there, yet their children are not proud of them.
GIST-the kiss of life by Rocco morabito. This 1967 award-winning photo entitled "Kiss of Life" shows two power linemen, Randall Champion and J. D. Thompson, at the top of a utility pole. They had been performing routine maintenance when Champion brushed one of the high voltage lines at the very top. These are the lines that can be heard "singing" with electricity. Over 4000 volts entered Champion's body and instantly stopped his heart (an electric chair uses about 2000 volts).His safety harness prevented a fall, and Thompson, who had been ascending below him, quickly reached him and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He was unable to perform CPR given the circumstances, but continued breathing into Champion's lungs until he felt a slight pulse, then unbuckled his harness and descended with him on his shoulder.Thompson and another worker administered CPR on the ground, and Champion was moderately revived by the time paramedics arrived.

BBA "2shotz used to beat me"-beverly osu. I know Beverly lies a lot but I know this is not a lie. This is how Beverly Osu narrated her ordeal on BBA while dating Rapper 2shotz in real life:She tells the story of how her fiance used to beat, bully, maltreat her and act as Adolf Hitler on her head.I'm a guy but this is terrible, the sad thing is that women still stay with these goats that call themselves men.She even pulled her shirt up to show a scar while he was beating her in the bathroom. According to her, she dropped out of school, her friends were graduating, her mom did not want to see her. She was going through a lot and wanted some time alone, even away from her fiance.So on this fateful day, the domineering Hitler called her to find out where she was. To cut the long story short, when he saw her, from questioning her like Jack Bauer led to beating, attempting to escape the beating she ran to bathroom and locked the door after herself, but these guy still broke the door just to continue the beating.I get that she might have added jara, but I can vouch that she was maltreated. He even forced her to have an abortion. I know this might sound like a myth, as I have always believed that having an abortion is the woman's choice. But it's just saddening that women still stay in such relationships with all the pain.All I can say is that that her fiance (which I know is 2shotz) is disgrace to Nigerian men, esp Igbo men. After he got married to someone else he was still texting her, that should go out together.I want to say a big shout out to Men that men that treat their wives well, like an angel which they are, God will make you bigger. Shout to women that don't take bullshit from domineering men. God bless you

MUST READ-see the big change that is coming to facebook. Facebook is about to take its most intrusive advertising to a new medium – video – and it could be the most annoying yet.Un-skippable Facebook video ads might seem like the greatest innovation in decades for major marketers, who have been coping with diminishing and fragmented television audiences for decades. Facebook says 88 million to 100 million people are on the service during primetime TV hours, almost as many people who watched this year's Super Bowl.But users might revolt; it's happened before, many times before. After all, people are flocking to social networks to see cute pictures and silly posts from friends and family, not to sit through ads for pickup trucks, allergy pills and fast food.Angry users could revive the "Quit Facebook Day" protest from 2011, when a change in privacy settings sparked criticism. But the organizers' website ended up with only 40,620 "committed Facebook quitters," a drop in the bucket for the huge social network.
NEWS-Tuface speaks on his collabo with Dr.victor Olaiya and why he married annie. Innocent Ujah Idibia, aka 2Face, is unarguably the most successful and celebrated new generation Nigerian musician. Humility personified and forever churning out hits after hits, the superstar singer and father of five shared some of his success secrets with YES International! Magazine on sale this week.Your song with Dr. Victor Olaiya turned out a big hit. How did you feel when you were contracted for that collaboration? Whaao! I was excited. Dr. Olaiya is a legend of our time, somebody I respect musically for a long time. So, once the opportunity came up, I was excited and I think that's the word to describe how I felt. I was honoured; and it's a privilege to be in the remix of one of the greatest songs in Nigeria.What's the thing about you that people do not know?I don't think there is a part of me that is hidden from the public. But if I'm to describe myself, I will just say I'm a peaceful guy. Yes. Very peaceful, I no dey like quarrel.What led you into doing music?I think the reason for me is because it's my calling. Music is what I've always dreamt of doing. I never thought of doing anything else other than music. Music for me is a calling. It's a gift that God has given to me. It wasn't like I sat down one day and said I no wan do engineering again, make I do music. It's been music all the way.Tell us about your growing up days.My growing up was peaceful with my brothers in my father's house. In fact, I had a peaceful growing up.As one of the most celebrated artistes in Africa, what do you think is the reason why most musicians cannot cope with stardom?The biggest mistake is to believe your own hype. To believe that you are above everybody. To believe that you are too much.What are some of the mistakes you have made at one time and regret and wish you never made them? You know, one thing with me is, I think it is necessary to make mistake at times.Now that you are married, what has changed about you?Hmmm! Marriage don make me I no dey crazy like before againWhat exactly do you mean?What I mean is, I don't go out so much anymore. I spend more time with my family.Of all your baby mamas, why did you choose to settle down with Annie?Well, it's a matter of the heart. You know, she's the one I know.How many more children do you want to have with your wife?We are still on the matter.What more heights do you want to attain musically?Musically, I just want to go all out. I want people in every corner of the world to know about me.Don't you think that you have achieved that already?I never reach yet, I still need to do some more.What's your relationship with your former label mates, Black Face and Faze?We dey o! We see once in a while, but it's not as if we communicate regularly, but we are still good.Blackface seems to be saying that you abandoned him?Me, abandon him? Did he tell you that himself?But it was reported in the media?Well, Black didn't tell me anything like that at all. We meet sometimes, but he has never told me anything like that at all. You know each time I hear this, then I wonder why he hasn't met with me to say anything like that. I'm not owing him any money and we don't quarrel. So, I don't know what this is all about.Is it possible for Plantashun boyz to reunite again?I don't think so.What if you are called for a collaboration with the group again?Very well. I will definitely go.Are there any more musical collaborations you would want to do with top artists from any part of the world?Yes! But I'll like to do it first before talking about it. You know Nigerians, if I should say anything and it doesn't happen, they will keep harassing me about it.Your latest video, Rainbow is well loved and applauded. Why the choice

NEWS-I WOULD HAVE PROPOSED TO OMOTOLA-ALI NUHU. Ali Nuhu is one of the most popular actors in the Hausa movie industry. A producer and brand ambassador, he talks about his job, his 10-year-old marriage and other sundry issuesHow challenging is the job of producing Hausa movies?Most times, challenges come up when you don't do your homework the way it should be done. I don't produce more than one or two movies a year and I do a lot of pre-production planning before going on set. That removes all the challenges. It seems just a handful of producers are from the northYes. There are just a couple of us. The reason could be cultural barriers; people seem to be just contented with what they do and they don't want to branch out into wider areas.How did you break into the English movie sector?When I first started appearing in the English movies, the challenge I had was the perception of my people. Most people misunderstood what I was trying to do. But with time, when the movies started coming out, they became acquainted with what I was trying to do.At 39 you have already been married for 10 years, why did you have to marry so early?I was fortunate to meet a wonderful lady when I was 29. I did not want to let the opportunity slip by; it would not have been easy to find another like her at any other time.Which means as a Moslem, you are not contemplating polygamy?I am not contemplating polygamy. I know that my religion permits it but then, you don't just jump into it because you see others doing it, it has set conditions and none of the conditions affect me, so there is no reason for me to practise it.Is your wife comfortable with some of the roles you play?A couple of times she told me she was not very comfortable with some actresses that I was paired with and I had to turn down the job. The peace and comfort of my home is more important than any movie role.In the soap 'Wetin Dey' you played Ibrahim, an AIDS carrier who deliberately infected his cousin with the virus, how were you able to relate with the character?I had to go through counselling before I could take on that role but after the programme, I stopped being afraid of AIDS victims. I now sympathise with them and I understand their situation.You spent almost two years on that project, was the price worth it?It was worth it.How much were you paid?In movies we don't discuss our fees.You were quoted as saying Omotola is your most favourite colleague, if circumstances were different, would you have married her?I was pretty young when I first saw Omotola in 'Thorns of Roses' and liked her performance. After that, when I saw her in 'Mortal Inheritance,' I fell in love with her as a person because she gave a perfect interpretation to the character. Of course, if we were both single, I would have proposed to her.How many phone calls do you receive from fans in one day?I cannot count them.Are they up to 1000?They could even be more than 1000, sometimes. The phone keeps ringing and I don't want to change my number because it is my contact point. But if I leave it open all the time, the calls could be very distracting. For instance, someone calls and says, 'I just want to say hello to you.' Then another person calls and says, 'I just want to say hello to you.' Sometimes, I need to work and also spend time with my family. I cannot concentrate and I had no choice than to install a blocker on my phone.How does it feel to be an ambassador to two huge brands?They are very caring brands and they deliver when it comes to paying the model.What determines the way you dress?I don't have a particular mood or pattern of dressing but I have designers that make clothes for me. One is based in Lagos and he provides clothes for me when I am in the South. The one based in the North also styles me when I am in the North.What is your favourite fashion accessory?I love shoes a lot as well as wrist watches. I love silver wristwatches but I don't have a particular designer.What is your favourite food?It is my local language dish—Tuwo shinkafaWhat was your childhood like?I grew up in Kano—in no man's land. It is a society that consists of people from the South and North. We have a lot of Yoruba, Igbos, the Igalas, Idomas etc. I am sure this is responsible for my perception and the fact that I feel very free in whatever part of Nigeria I find myself. When I go to Asaba, I eat pounded yam and when I come to Lagos, I eat amala and ewedu.By next year you would be 40, what are going to do before then?There is the saying that you may make plans but at the end of the day, it is God who determines the outcome and the course that your life is supposed to follow. I am leaving everything in His hands for the momen

Read)Posted: I love writing and this touched me.Basket Mouth Chronicles the beginning of his career as a comedian in a series titled"Before I write a book" This first episode proves that more often than not,great men start from really humble beginnings. He also shows how far one can go when others believe in your dreamsRead Below... ""Back stage at the Rothmans Groove tour which held @ TBS in 1998, there I was seated with the likes of The Plantashun Boiz,Dr. Fresh,Remedies and more...I was just a young boy trying to weigh his options on what direction to go with his career as drumming,rapping,producing and comedy were few of my options.That night was the 1st time I met Tony Tetuila, one of those humble guys you come by,he was warm and accommodating considering the obvious fact that I was nobody in the industry.Fast forward a few months later, Comedy had won me over and in the course of my hustle and journey to where I'm yet to get to, I bumped into Tetuila in Festac, just about the time his single 'you don hit my car' came out.We reconnected while playing catch up. We had common friends so 'bumping' into each other became a tradition. The 1st time he saw me perform @ a concert was at a gig The Plantashun Boiz used to host @ the Den in Ikeja.I must have impressed him because not long after that night, I got a call from him asking that we meet up. We did and he took me for a meeting in Lagos Island (Shell Office). A director at Shell was retiring and a send-forth party was being held in his honour. My performance fee then was N10,000, Tony pushed it up and convinced the client to pay N30,000 which they paid cash. Prior to this, they had never heard of me and only used me because Tony believed in me and stood up for me, convincing them to buy in.I was paid in full a week to the show.After picking up the cash I went straight home. Now here I was, a young comic with his 1st major pay-out of N30,000. Considering the fact that my 1st performance fee was N300 (1%) of what I had in my pocket,I couldn't help but to thank God.
Letter from an angry fan to Stella Damascus on her #ChildNotBride campaign [Must Read]Posted: 27 Jul 2013 01:07 AM PDTOkay, so after the release of that video, some fans went ahead to insult Stella Damscus through the use of social media, especially twitter.Below is a letter from a fan who wants his identity to be hidden to Stella Damascus..[Dear Stella] “I saw your VIDEO on girl child marriage, well, I don’t think you shot the video because of the purpose we are all fighting for,” the fan said.He continues, “But you shot the video because of cheap publicity, going all the way to produce a video, talking and spitting saliva on the screen.Responsible citizen like, Abudu(EbonyTV), Hon. Abike Dabiri, Wole Soyinka etc didn’t go all the way to insult the first Lady but they are wise people who let out their opinion without abusing the office of the first Lady. Must you go all the way to show your adulterous face on the screen?Other reasonable citizens tweets via (Twitter), Comments on Facebook and even send press release. If you need an interview to talk on girl child marriage, walk majestically to any media house, but not you, Stella.Remember, Reuben Abati, when he was still an Editor in one of the National Newspapers, he did the same to Dame patience Jonathan in 2010, he figured out all the mistakes First lady made. Now, he is the Special Adviser to the president on Media and Publicity.And now you Stella, you wanted to be SA to the governor of your state and recognition from Aso Rock.You are not different from Senator Yerima because you are a cheap woman that sleeps with another woman’s husband. Keeping the man in your territory. I will support women in all ramifications.You’ve lost your heart and conscience when Aboderin died. God will Judge you in anger one day,” he concluded.

I love where I am now (hiding myself) and if I love to do that, how do you expect me to introduce the lady I am dating? Back to your question, I have somebody, yesPopular Pos

News-KCEE has just bought two luxurious automobiles – a black 2013 BMW X6 and a white 2013 super charge Range Rover? Yes it is…It's all smiles for the Pop singer who is finally enjoying superstardom and wealth all off one monster hit song titled 'Limpopo'.How it started for KCEEKingsley Okonkwo started like every other upcoming act in Nigeria – the hard way. In the early 2000s, he met with former partner Presh (Precious John) in a church choir. They met up with a third member, named the group KC Presh and released their first single 'Ose baba', shot a video for it, receiving mild success.Partying ways with the third member in 2002, the duo entered the first ever edition of Nigerian Breweries STAR QUEST talent show and won beating the likes of Asa, Psquare, Klint da Drunk, Mr Raw (formerly known as Nigga Raw). As part of the spoils, KC Presh signed a deal with Kennis Music (the biggest record label in Nigeria at the time) and made a big debut.During their time at Kennis, KC Presh never attained super status, it always seemed like they were one hit away. They soon parted ways with the label and set up shop on their own with KP Records. Their first instalment was the OJB assisted 'Segemenge' off the album 'Sio Nkpo' which bagged them a Channel O nomination and more fame. But while the likes of D'banj and the Mo'Hits were flying high with chart topping singles and back-to-back hits, KC Presh struggled with their careers. They tried once again with KCEE's wealthy brother intervening – they restructured, re-launched the label as 'Blingz Record', affiliated with Grafton Records in the South and released a new album 'No Time' with the lead single 'Shokori bobo'. All this however did not result in mega success, infact the duo's careers' imploded.How KCEE got his groove backAfter several attempts to stage a comeback, the duo eventually split on good terms (friends told Nigerian Entertainment Today KCEE and Presh continued to stay in the same house for months). That separation seemed to be the break for KCEE who immediately put in work releasing his debut single 'Now I know'. He took it from there with bigger hits 'Okpekete' (with Davido), 'Give it to me' (feat Flavour) all under his new label Five Star Music. The signs were there but it was the huge hit 'Limpopo' that shattered all barriers and planted him as a bona fide hit-maker and music star.Written by R&B singer Harrysong and produced by Del B, the song has turned a once undesired KCEE into a fans' favourite, darling of promoters. That single hit has ushered him into the A list, with an MTN endorsement deal as icing.The story hear is not KCEE's new cars (thanks to his bigger brother, he's always lived a very posh lifestyle) but his struggle and eventual breakthough
