It was down to me, Quincy (Combs) & Yazz actually & then Quincy dropped out and it was down to me & Yazz. At the time they were telling me, “I got it. it’s yours, you’re the guy”. So I start looking for places in Chicago. I was signing on my lease and everything & I was having meetings with networks.

Television, in Abeokuta, did not mention the ‘corrupt’ Yar’Adua rivals.
Among the prominent presidential hopefuls in the Peoples Democratic Party in 2007 were Obasanjo’s deputy, Abubakar Atiku; and ex-Governor of Rivers State, Peter Odili.
Atiku later abandoned the PDP to contest the presidential election on the platform of the defunct Action Congress while Odili’s ambition fizzled out with the nomination of Yar’Adua.
The AC later metamorphosed into the Action Congress of Nigeria, which later merged with the Congress for Progressive Change and the All Nigeria Peoples Party to form the now ruling All Progressives Congress.
Obasanjo’s choice of successor died on May 5, 2010 from heart-related ailments. Many condemned Obasanjo for choosing a man who was manifestly sick to lead the country.
But in the Channels interview, PUNCH reports that Obasanjo said he only acted based on the information made available to him. He said:

50-Year Old Jailed 9 Years For Defiling Girl, 11
A 50-year old man, Nosa Edebiri, has been sentenced to nine years imprisonment by an Oredo Magistrates’ Court in Benin, Edo state, for defiling an 11-year old girl. The Magistrate, Mrs Caroliine Oghuma, sentenced Edebiri today after he pleaded guilty to a one-count charge of defilement.
The Prosecutor, Sergeant Kehinde Adebiyi, had told the court that on 2 June, 2015, the minor and her parents came to police station to lodge a complain of defilement of the minor against the convict at his home close to the minor’s house at Aghimen street, off Saint Saviour, Benin.
The court heard that on that fateful day, the convict went to buy fish worth N250 at No 4, Aghimen street, off Saint Saviour, Benin, where the minor was assisting her mother to sell fish.
The convict was said to have asked the minor to follow him home to collect the money of the fish, where he locked her up in his room and forcefully had unlawful carnal knowledge of her and threatened to kill her and her parents if she disclosed what transpired between them.
The parents of the girl however noticed that the girl was not comfortable as she complained of pains in her abdomen and narrated what happened to her to her parents.
The Prosecutor told the court that following complaint by parents of the victim, she was taken to the Central Hospital in Benin for examination where doctors confirmed that the minor had lost her virginity, adding that the convict confessed to the crime.
Delivering her judgment, Magistrate Oghuma told the convict, “You do not deserve any mercy even though it is the first time you are appearing in court. I consider the offence condemnable since you took advantage of the vulnerable minor. I hereby sentence you to nine years imprisonment without option of fine, to serve as deterrent to others.”

Nigeria Must Legalize Gay Marriage Vows United States?
The
US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Linda
Thomas-Greenfield (pictured above) has stated that they would continue
to pressurize Nigeria until it legalizes same sex marriage. She made
this known on Monday July 13 during a live-web chat with journalists in
Washington.
"As a government, it is one of the highest priorities and strongest values that discrimination against anyone based on their sexual orientation and gender identity is wrong. We believe human rights should be available to everybody. As a policy, we will continue to press the government of Nigeria, as well as other governments which have provided legislation that discriminate against the LGBT community. This is very much a work in progress, but I think you will agree with me that the law in Nigeria really went far in discriminating against this community but also people who associate with them. So, we will continue to press the government, to press the legislature to change these laws and provide human rights for all Nigerian people regardless of their sexual orientation. With what is happening in the US, you can determine how far we are willing to go. We strongly believe human rights for all people and we are particularly opposed to legislation that actually targets the gay community for discrimination. So we are prepared to push this as a policy, not just in Africa but across the world.”
Buhari Is Here To Save Nollywood & The Entertainment Industry, Clamps Down On Piracy
Former president Goodluck Jonathan was a major life line for
the Nollywood movie industry. His departure worried a lot of
practitioners who feared that the Buhari presidency would see a decline
in the Federal government’s support for Nollywood & the
entertainment industry, but he seems to have proved them wrong.
Yesterday PMB directed law enforcement agencies to step up their efforts to curb the menace of pirates in Nigeria’s entertainment industry so that artistes can enjoy the fruits of their labour. He gave the order after a briefing from the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan in Abuja, yesterday Tuesday.

Nollywood is making progress. We should work with them. Unless they are backed, they will be ruined by pirates who want to reap where they have not sowed. They have built an industry with their own sweat. It is therefore incumbent on us to give them the necessary support.

Nigerians Expectations From Buhari Is like Raising Lazarus From The Dead-Dele Momodu
Ovation International CEO and former Presidential candidate,Dele Momodu has opened up to Vanguard
on President Buhari and why Nigerians are impatient for change..The
staunch supporter of Buhari also opened up on the National Assembly
crises ad the alleged rifty between Tinubu and Bukola Saraki..
On his thoughts about president Buhari changing..
On his thoughts about president Buhari changing..
I am surprised at your comment because I have never changed. I am the biggest supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari today. All I have done is to tell the president what people are saying outside, that is my job. We don’t tell our leaders the truth. I told former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, the truth throughout his tenure. This is detailed in my forthcoming book, titled, ‘’Pendulum, a book of prophesy’’. Everything I told President Jonathan happened. I owe that to our president too today.
Once you become the president in Nigeria, people stop telling you the truth. They only tell you what you want to hear. I am a stakeholder in this government. I wonder what would have happened to me if the PDP had returned to power. I was already under constant threat. I received threat messages. I had to name all the numbers anonymous because they were all attacking me for supporting Buhari. I didn’t support the president because I wanted anything from him. I supported him because I believed at this time of our lives, we need a father-figure, what I called the Mandela- option in Nigeria. And I thought Buhari, as a man of integrity, of impeccable character, fits that bill.
But, three months after the election, Nigerians are getting impatient because most of them cannot wait for even one second. I was the first to write an article titled, ‘’In Search Of Patience’’, telling the people to exercise patience with the man. But being patient does not mean we should fold our arms indefinitely. There are things that can still be done. I found a proverb some where which says ‘’the meat of antelope tastes very good, but while it is cooking, we can still make do with groundnut’’. While we are waiting for that big action, some things must keep us going, whether pop corn, ice cream or something. If the National Assembly, within some minutes, approved about 15 Special Advisers; so, what is stopping us from picking our National Security Adviser, if we have to change the one there now.
How about the Chief of Staff, the Principal Secretary, the Secretary to the Federal Government. The longer it takes, the longer the tension, and also the longer the pressure on Mr President. I want the president to know that if they begin to put pressure on him, things may begin to fall apart. Had it been some things are already in place, I am sure the tension would have reduced.But things have rotten so much so that many people support the president taking his time before making any appointments.
No. I was once a presidential candidate. Before a man says he wants to be president, he must have his plans and blue print of things that he saw not working properly. As such, he thought he had solution to them. Yes, you might not have 100% solution to the problems, but you have a fair idea of what needed to be done urgently. And you said you have the answer to them before you offered yourself to serve. And there is nobody more experienced than President Muhammadu Buhari. He was there over 30 years ago. He also acted in other capacities before now.
So, I expect him to be able to know what he wants to do. Your principal staff, you will know who they are, and you will appoint them. Even the ministers, by now, there is no law that says all the ministers must be ready at the same time. The problems we have in Nigeria are so big that one second is like eternity. I pleaded with people few weeks back to be patient, but I am telling you that the public outcry is no longer favourable to our cause. And I don’t want us to lose that moment to the concerns of the people. It is like a plane that is about to take off..The outcry, some have said, is genuine but that people are not well informed about the enormity of the problems at hand?
No one is crying foul. Don’t let us misuse language. They are only asking for action. They have the right to that. Their expectation was that of a magician. That was what I wrote in my article. What the Nigerians expect of you is like that of Jesus Christ turning water into wine, raising Lazarus from the dead. I wrote another article, ‘’Buhari and the burden of expectations’’. To whom is given, much is expected. Nigerians saw him as magician. They believe he has talismanic powers to transform Nigeria from penury to prosperity. You can’t blame them. Nobody is blaming Buhari, we are just saying ‘please sir, time is not on your side’. I am not one of those who will rush him.Talking about sudden change, you were known to be a friend and admirer of the APC National Leader, Ashiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, but suddenly you started supporting the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, against his party?
Then or till now?
There is nothing sudden in that. From day one, I supported Saraki for various reasons. I will say that, boldly, any where. And I stand by it. I supported him based on empirical facts of what I know. One of it…..
Saraki was one of the first people who declared total and unflinching support for Buhari. Amaechi adores Kwankwaso. I know that for a fact. Ameachi loves Kwankwaso to death. But because of Buhari, Amaechi refused to support Kwankwaso. I don’t know if Kwankwaso will forgive him for that. But, he was honest enough to tell Kwankwaso that ‘’I have given my word to Buhari, I cannot turn back’’. Same thing with Saraki. I know for a fact that Saraki worships Tinubu. Quote me. Maybe our Oga (Tinubu)does not know it. You know, sometimes, you don’t know those who love you if you have a lot of crowd around you. But I am saying it to you that Saraki, the Senate President, worships Tinubu.
I am sure till today. Saraki was one of Tinubu disciples. In fact, when some people were saying Tinubu wanted to hijack the party by installing his men, Saraki and Amaechi were among those who said ‘no, we must give our leader whatever he wants; we must not humiliate our leader’, because they(new PDP) had the power at that time to install their own candidate and they would have won, because the new PDP that joined APC at that time was formidable enough. But, they insisted they must defer to Tinubu. It is what I know, not that they told me.
There are people who may go behind and tell the leaders lies, but I love Tinubu to the extent that I will never tell him a lie. I will tell him only what I know. So, among those who worked so hard day and night, gathered those who could support the campaign, Saraki was one of them. Amaeachi risked his entire life for that campaign. In an association of five or more political parties, I expected that immediately after victory, all of you would have come together to decide which of the parties in the association takes what. That was not the case.
My advice to those of us who are close to Ashiwaju Tinubu is that people should prevail on him not to oppose Saraki because he is one of his men. If you have children and you show one that he is the preferred child above other ones, they will be angry. I think Saraki felt betrayed. If I were Ashiwaju, I would have done what the president did. I can almost bet my life that the President Buhari had a preferred candidate even though we didn’t know who the person was, but he said he would not interfere.
It will get to a stage in life where two of your children are fighting for something, you stand back and let them go to the field and whoever wins, you support him, not that you tie the arms of one against the other. You have not even told us why you are supporting one against the other. I have not read it anywhere. The only thing I have so far read was that Senator Lawan is a ranking member, beyond that, what else? Beyond that, nobody sold Lawan to us.

Man Leaves The Bulk Of His Estate Worth £300,000 To Amateur Football team
A devoted football fan has left a famous semi-professional club more than £300,000 in his will. Colin Rowell was an avid supporter of Bishop Auckland FC for more than 70 years. When he died, he left the bulk of his estate, worth more than £300,000, to his favourite team.
Now his ashes are to be scattered on the pitch and a stand may be named after him so he is remembered forever at his beloved club.
Stunned officials told how the massive bequest would help secure the future of the world's most successful amateur side, and said it was like 'Man Utd being given £3 billion'. "His generosity is unprecedented. It is a stunning amount of money and one that will make a huge difference," the club said. Mr Colin was 79 and we are not told if he has any family at all.
