Top Nigerian Gospel Singer Kenny Saint Best, has lashed out at Mavin  Record Boss, Don Jazzy and his artiste, Wande Coal over the nudity contained in his new video, 'Go Low'. She told them to stop bringing nudity back into Nigerian mucic videos as this is leading to the  increase in rape cases in the country or be stopped by God.

KSB said, "Naked girl in Wande Coal's new video is a thumb down from me. We have kids watching. You are bringing nudity back to Nigerian [music] videos to increase cases of rape in our society. It has stopped. Please stop it.
"We don't want rape cases to increase. Please Wande Coal and Don Jazzy, stop this nudity in your music videos before God stops you. My dear brother (Wande Coal), the mercy and the favour of God were the elements that brought you this far, not nude girls in your music video. I say NO to NUDITY."

I think nudity in videos should be banned. We have kids watching this videos and that it's ok to get naked in front of a camera is not the kind of message we want to pass to them. Just saying.

The insurance companies that insured the Dana Aircraft that crashed in Lagos on June 3, is expected to pay N2.48bn in compensation to relatives of the 153 passengers who died in the accident. Each passenger of the ill-fated plane was insured for $100,000, while each of the four cabin crew members and two pilots were insured for $150,000 and $250,000 respectively.

This means the family of each of the passengers will get $100,000 or about N15.7m, for the four crew members, their families will get N23.55m each, while the respective families of the pilot and the co-pilot will be given N39.25m each, totaling about N2.48b

The compensation will be paid upon verification of the rightful beneficiaries.

I really hope this gets done on time 'cos knowing Nigeria, they will drag  the process for so long until the beneficiaries give up.

Cosmilla Hotel, Amuwo Odofin, has sacked some of its employees following the murder of Cynthia Osokogu in the hotel.

The hotel employees were also sacked for not verifying the true identity of her assailants, who used a fake name  to lodge at the hotel.

She was in the morgue for two weeks before her body was identified.
