That Afrobeat maestro, Femi Kuti, is nominated for the 52nd edition of the Grammy Awards is no longer news. What is news is that as the world witnesses the largest gathering of some of the best musicians on Sunday our own local boy Femi Kuti will be flying high out green and white flag.

A group of repentant ex-militants led by a former “general”, John Togo, yesterday, said the leadership tussle that almost tore the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger-Delta (MEND) apart, last year, over the appointment of their Aaron Team has been laid to rest and that Henry Okah has now been recognized as general leader of ex-militant leaders in the Niger-Delta.

Any peace without justice is violence postponed. Since nobody was brought to justice for the crimes committed last year, the criminals were embolden to repeat their atrocities this year with more sadistic brutishness

It was the first time President Shagari would be known to have publicly visited the National Assembly in Abuja.

I want to also contribute to the world movie industry, if not, I would have just stayed here and produced a complete Nigerian movie. I want to make my mark in this industry so that people can go watch my movie in America and all over the world.

*Death came swiftly and suddenly to Otunba Dipo Dina, and it must have been a surprise even to him, as the news of his ghastly murder is to many Nigerians. That was the way it happened to Funsho Williams, and we are no wiser as to those who were responsible till this day. That kind of horror would, in fact, summon a long list today.

A man who has been in coma will sign a document of about 300 pages when he had to sign every page. Common sense tells us that is not possible.

You see when people talk, they should be mindful that we’re not fools.

I won’t be caught wearing an underwear or a G-string.

Apart from what Obasanjo described as Jonathan’s excellent achievements, he is seen as a man who does not rock the boat, never allowing his personal ambition to rock policies, doesn’t scheme out his boss and doesn’t sow seeds of discord or plant seeds of dissatisfaction But this may also be his weakness, at least many think it is. Jonathan has just about one year to show the stuff he is made of.

Thank God we made it. Wow! We crossed over. What a relief. I am sure that with all my explanations you know it is all about times and seasons.

A leading pressure groupled by Prof. Wole Soyinka has called on the National Assembly to impeach President Yar’Adua for alleged serial violation of the constitution. It also urged the judiciary to be courageous in its judgment to save Nigeria from the present constitutional crisis in the country.
