ICE PRINCE TURNS DOWN GLOBACOM DEAL EXCEPT HE'S PAID $1M

Ice Prince has reportedly turned down an endorsement deal from major telecoms company Globacom. The rapper was approached with a mouth-watering deal to become the brand’s latest ambassador due to his recent success. Heard he is demanding for $1m (N157million) or nothing. Most GLO ambassadors are paid within N10-N20m except for Dbanj and Psquare. Psquare got N240m for a 4-year deal in 2010.

I like that he seems to know his worth, but is he worth it?

PRESIDENT JONATHAN WAAAYYYY BACK!

He is proof that nobody indeed knows tomorrow.

21 NIGERIANS ON DEATH ROW IN INDONESIA

Over 21 Nigerians are facing death sentence in Jarkata, the capital of Indonesia w for various offences such as drug peddling and two of them, Samuel Iwuchukwu Okoye and Hassan Anthony Nwaolisa, were executed on June 28, 2008, while one Augustine Ogbonna died under mysterious circumstance in prison custody in September, 2008. 10 would be executed this week if the Nigerian government don't put efforts and pressure on the Indonesian authorities.

During the visit of the Indonesian president, Susilo Yudhoyono, on Saturday, President Jonathan asked for a stay of execution of those on death row while the two countries explore ways for the exchange of prisoners and mutual legal assistance.

Yeah, I know nobody sent them to go into drugs knowing what the consequences are, still, a lesser sentence than death is more desirable. I don't support the capital punishment.

SHOULD ABSENTEE GOVERNORS BE IMPEACHED?

Gov. Sullivan Chime

"We have the case of three governors who left the country and gave no indication of how long they have been away or whether they are even away so that the constitutional requirements can be met. That way, the deputy governors can act for them. The way their cases are being handled is worrisome. And it started with the late President Umaru Yar’Adua’s illness. What is wrong with saying: ‘I’m indisposed. I am going for medical treatment. My deputy will act until I come back?’ Why are they so insecure? I don’t understand it. My view is that it shows that they are not fit to operate in a modern system It’s a more moderate approach to allow the deputy to act until he comes back. But I think him (Gov. Chime) leaving Enugu without a head of government is an impeachable offense." - Itse Sagay

I totally agree with him. Governor Chime has been away for over four months and there has been no explanation as to his whereabouts. Shouldn't absentee governors be impeached?

CEASE FIRE: BOKO HARAM DEMANDS N26BN FROM FG AND BORNO GOVT.

Boko Haram has asked the federal and Borno State governments for N26billion. You won't believe this -they claim they will use it to compensate themselves, their members for all their losses, especially their houses, cars and businesses that have been destroyed by government and to take care of the families of their members that had been killed by soldiers. Like seriously?!!!

This, they say, is a major condition to sustain the one-week-old ceasefire it announced last Monday. Wait for the next shocker; the demand has already been accepted by the Borno State government. Yep, you heard right. Apparently, this demand was also made 6 months ago when Boko Haram first declared the cease fire and apparently continued their evil deeds when the FG refused to pay.

So, is the federal government negotiating with terrorists? And if they are considering using our money to pay these killers, it's as good as saying the FG paid for thousands of Nigerians to be killed. A country where killers have the audacity to demand to be paid for ending the lives of thousands of innocent citizens, including children and women, in the most gruesome manner. Everything is wrong with this country. SMH!

SUBSIDY SCAM: FAROUK LAWAN TO SPEND ONE WEEK IN KUJE PRISONS

Emenalo and Farouk,to spend one week at Kuje prison

Member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Lawan and Boniface Emenalo were on Friday remanded in prison custody following his arraignment by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission at a Federal Capital Territory High Court on seven counts of criminal dealing.

The lawmakers, among other things, were accused of demanding and collecting bribe in the aggregate sum of $3million from the Chairman of Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd, Femi Otedola, to ensure that Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd escaped prosecution even though the committee had ab-initio found it culpable in the fuel subsidy fraud.

They will remain in Kuje prisons pending the determination of their bail application on February 8. Good. I hope this will serve as a warning to politicians that no one is above the law; or are they?

2 STUDENTS COMMIT SUICIDE IN UNILAG IN 1 MONTH

Two undergraduate students of UNILAG have commited suicide within a month. A young man of about 27 years simply identified as Seun committed suicide on January 19. His action has left his family and friends in shock.

Seun, who lived with his aunt at 9, Alhaja Adijat Lawal, Beesam, Mafoluku, Lagos, where the incident occurred, went out to buy a substance and locked himself inside his room before ingesting the unidentified substance.

It seemed those in the house when he went to buy the substance suspected he was going to do something drastic because they later forced the door open, but he had already ingested the substance he went to buy. They quickly took him to the hospital but he died later that evening in the hospital. Neighbors say he was a brilliant student.

There have been rumours for months now that Wizkid is planning to leave his music label, Banky W -led Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) music label, a rumour both parties have denied it. But judging from , Wizkid's tweet above, seems the rumours were true after all and he's leaving the music label. He has also up-dated his profile on twitter by removing EME/Konvict music. See it after the cut...

Two things; either it's a video shoot or they were actually about to (or finished) do 'it'. Either way, it's not something we want to see. Right?
