Etisalat-sponsored Nigerian Idol V: Evictions begin, Cliq Idol winner emerges, second group of 30 perform

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 01:23 PM PDT

Preye, Prime, and Dolu, have become the first three contestants to move to the top-12 stage of the on-going Etisalat- sponsored Nigerian Idol season 5.


"It is obvious that Preye, Prime, and Dolu, stood out and the voters and Judges confirmed it." Head, Events and Sponsorship, Etisalat Nigeria, Modupe Thani said



Overjoyed at making it to the top- 12, the three lucky contestants thanked the viewers and Judges for their votes of confidence, pledging to prove that they deserve their spots in the show.

21-year old Solo, emerged the first winner of Cliq Idol competition, the online version of the ongoing Etisalat-sponsored Nigerian Idol competition, earning him a ticket to fight for a spot in the last group of Top 30. 




Although Solo did not make it through the audition stage held earlier this year across the country, he was able to turn his dream to reality from the comfort of his home by uploading a 60-second video of himself singing, to the Nigerian Idol website, www.nigerianidol/cliqidol.

Apart from Solo, contestants from the second group of top-10 of 30 contestants also impressed Judges and studio audience with their vocal and stage performances. If you missed their performances, you can watch a recap of it on the Nigerian Idol website at www.nigerianidol.com. 


To vote, simply dial the number of your favorite contestant on an Etisalat line or send the contestant's number to 33680 via SMS.

The big question now is who will join Preye, Prime, Dolu, in the top 12 and who will be evicted? You decide!!!

Rapper Meek Mill puts car company on blast, says they sold him $200k Lambo with a 'fake' title

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 01:06 PM PDT

Rapper Meek Mill took to his instagram page to blast a car company in Florida called EuroSports claiming they sold him a Lamborghini (pictured right) and hid the fact that the car had a salvage title until after he'd paid for it. For those who don't know what a car with a 'Salvage' title means, it means a car that's been in wreck - in Nigeria we call it 'accident' cars. It's supposed to be worth less than cars with 'clean' titles but they sold it to him like it was clean.

President Jonathan warns against negative triumphalism

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 12:24 PM PDT

Read the State House press statement below...
As the nation prepares for Saturday's governorship and State Assembly elections, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan calls on all Nigerians to remain peaceful, united and law-abiding. The President condemns the very unseemly attempt by some politicians, groups and individuals to intimidate others, heat up the polity and cause public disorder and disaffection in the aftermath of the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
President Jonathan is especially concerned about the negative triumphalism that has been put on display by certain elements since March 31 which flies in the face of his personal commitment to post-election peace, unity and national stability.

The President calls on all those, who through their actions and utterances, have been promoting divisiveness, sectionalism and ethnic hatred in the country following the outcome of the March 28 elections to cease and desist from actions that detract from the true spirit and culture of democracy envisioned by patriotic men and women of goodwill in Nigeria.

President Jonathan also condemns the undue harassment of public officials serving under his administration and urges all affected persons to continue to perform their lawful duties without fear. The President cautions that this should be a time for the healing of political wounds in the overriding interest of national unity, stability and progress, not a time for ethnic jingoism and the settling of scores. The Federal Government will not condone any attempt to instigate a crisis in any part of the country in furtherance of personal political ambitions.

President Jonathan assures all Nigerians that his administration remains fully committed to national progress and the entrenchment of the best values of democracy for the good of all Nigerians. He urges Nigerians to go out en-masse once again on April 11 to vote for candidates of their choice in the Governorship and State Assembly elections with the confidence that his administration will do all within its powers to ensure that they do so in peace, without threats, intimidation or violence from any quarters.

Kanye West roped into gay scandal with Balmain boss, Olivier Rousteng

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 10:08 AM PDT

Some people keep insisting Kanye is into men when he's made it clear over and over again that he likes just women, especially Kim. Here's an interesting report I found on MediaTakeOut. Read below
Kanye West is being dragged into a bitter battle, between his extremely close friend Olivier Rousteng, who heads the Balmain Fashion Empire, and his ex-boyfriend. A man claiming to be Oliver's boyfriend appeared on a forum on the popular gay website BlackM4M.com. According to the man, he was searching through Oliver's phone and found some very "suggestive" text messages and emails between Kanye and Oliver. The man was furious and leaked nekkid pics which he claimed were of Oliver.
The man also made some UNSUBSTANTIATED claims about the nature of Kanye and Oliver's relationship, which we will not repeat here. But you can IMAGINE what was said.
Below are the EXTREME GRAPHIC pics that were leaked. We warn you, the pics are VERY graphic and VERY gay. If you are a straight man, you should NOT click on the link - unless you want to have your CONSCIOUS SHAKEN.

Drop your crown & pursue politics - Afenifere reacts to Oba of Lagos anti-Igbo comments

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 08:53 AM PDT

Pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere has called on the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu to drop his crown and pursue politics following his recent anti-igbo remarks. Spokesperson of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin spoke to Vanguard about the position of the group;
"We say with all sense of responsibility that if these were truly the words of Kabiyesi, he has clearly crossed the line of royal decency, desecrated the royal stool and violated the electoral laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and engaged in promotion of hate speech capable of fueling ethnic tension and clashes which are against the spirit of peaceful co-existence which we have achieved in recent years.
We respect the right of Oba Akiolu to drop the crown at Iga and become Director of Mobilisation for the leader of his party if he so desires, but we detest his hiding behind the throne to fan the embers of disunity which could put Yoruba people in harm's way wherever they are living as settlers. Yoruba people are too civilized to support the primitive intimidation of fellow Nigerians just as we will not accept such action being visited on our people in any part of Nigeria." he said

Pics: Arsonists set Baptist Church ablaze, Pastor's daughter killed

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 08:43 AM PDT

Barely one week after an attack on a branch of Living Faith Church popularly called Winners Chapel in Giwa, Headquarters of Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State by two unidentified arsonists, the Baptist Church at Gidan Maso village in Rogo Local Government Area of Kano State has been set ablaze and the residence of the Pastor, Rev Habila Garba, burnt by irate youths.

During the incident which happened on April 1 at about 7:30 pm, one of the Pastor's daughters died of suffocation and most parts of the house destroyed as a result of the fire.

The President of "Tarayyar Masihiyawan Nijeria" (Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri Christians), General Ishaku Ahmed Dikko (retd), told journalists on Tuesday in Abuja that the intention was to kill one youth, Yahaya Joshua, who converted to Islam but later on reverted back to Christianity.




Full statement of General Dikko entitled: "Another church torched Again"...

The Baptist Church at GIDAN MASO village of Rogo LGA in Kano State was set on fire by youths of the Village on 01 April, 2015 at about 7:30 pm. The Church and all the properties were burnt down in the presence of the Christian Community despite all pleadings for them to stop the destruction. The arsonists gathered cornstalks and put inside the Church in order to cause greater damage. This made the action to seem deliberate and for ulterior motives.

The Christians present exhibited great Christian qualities by not taking the law into their hands by trying to stop them by force. Rather than the arsonist to see reason, they were infuriated which led to setting the house of the Pastor, Rev Habila Garba, ablaze as well. As a result of the fire, one of the Pastor's daughters died of suffocation and most of the house destroyed.

They also attacked and wounded Bawa Adamu and Aminu Dauda, who received machete cuts leading to broken arms. Others received similar wounds but of lesser degrees.


The cause of the barbaric act was to kill one youth, Yahaya Joshua, who converted to Islam but later on reverted back to Christianity. The youth had escaped on learning of the plan to kill him. They therefore set the Church and Pastor's house on fire and went about maiming and wounding any Christian they saw. The incidence was immediately reported to the Police and the District Head at Rogo. At the time of filing this report on 3rd April, 2015, no information was received about the action taken or if any arrests were made. However, all the wounded know and can identify their attackers by name since they all belong to the same village.

​The Tarayyar Masihiyawan Nigeriya is calling on the authorities to take the necessary steps to stem or stop all these harassments and molestations of innocent Christians for whatever reasons. We have the right to belong to any religion of our choice and live anywhere in this country. We call on the authorities at all levels to rise up to their responsibilities to protect lives and properties of every citizen in this country.

Caucasian boyfriend turns out to be Nigerian conman, gives woman fake currency

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 06:52 AM PDT


A 46yr old woman in Malaysia was shocked when her Caucasian boyfriend, who she fell in love with on the Internet, turned out to be a Nigerian. On Saturday, the teacher met the 36-year-old Nigerian at a hotel in Jalan Tun Perak, Malaysia for the first time because he wanted to repay the RM130,000 that she'd lent him. The man handed her a black briefcase containing US$22,100 (RM81,770) 'cash'.
"When she checked the notes, she knew that something was wrong so she called us," said Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Zainol Samah in a press conference.
ACP Zainol said the woman met the Nigerian two months ago on the Internet and they began 'dating' after telling the woman he was white. (police pictured above showing the media the fake money)


"The man pretended to be a Caucasian when they met on Facebook. After a while, he told the victim that he was financially constrained and that he needed her to help him," he said.
The woman wired RM130,000 into a local account as the man promised to pay double the amount and in American currency. Five minutes after receiving the woman's call, police rushed to the scene and the victim informed them that she had received a briefcase containing cash, which she believed was fake.

When asked how she got the briefcase, she pointed at the man.
"So we checked and found that the 'cash' was fake. He was immediately arrested and brought to the district headquarters," ACP Zainol said.
Police then detained the Nigerian, who entered the country a week ago, at about 2.05pm. The suspect is being remanded until tomorrow. The case is being investigated under Section 489C of the Penal Code for possession of fake money.

Fashola is a conspirator in the threat to life of Igbos - Lagos PDP says, demands Oba's suspension

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 05:54 AM PDT

PDP in Lagos state says that the 48-hour silence of Governor Fashola since the Oba of Lagos made death threats to Igbos indicates that not only is Fashola in agreement with what the Oba said, but that the Oba spoke on behalf of the state government.

In a statement released today, the party demanded for the suspension of the Oba until after the elections. The statement reads in part;
"The governor is thus a conspirator in this threat to life and must also be held accountable for any violence in this elections. We have at this point been vindicated about the desperation of the APC to retain Lagos state at all cost including the All Progressives Congress' plan not to concede the imminent defeat on April 11. The positions of the PDP are coming on the heels of the now viral threat issued by the Oba of Lagos to Igbos that they must vote for the APC Governorship Candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, or be drowned in Lagos water."
