If your child dances to any of these five songs, you must show concerns

The Nigerian music industry is growing by the day. Take it or leave it, the industry is a money spinner. According to the report in 2016, the Nigerian music industry was worth $40m (N11bn) in 2011 and $47m (N14bn) in 2015. By 2020, this figure is expected to hit $86m (N27bn). Excellent. However, there is danger. The negative influence of drug, sex and violence-preaching musics is eating deep into the morality of the industry. More artistes are rising, with the idea that they can sing about anything, even if it lacks any positive message. Some are subtle, while some are brazen. If your child happens to be in love with any of the brazen types, then you need to show urgent concerns. Here are five of such songs that are supposed to be marked +18 Adults. If your child is listening to any of them, know that there’s fire on the mountain!   1. Pa...

Image
Nigerian actress Empress Njama has also decided to voice their opinion on the issue of domestic violence. She however, seem to be the one of the few who has decided to fight for the men.

Four million people voted ‘nobody’ in France presidential election

Image
record number of French voters cast their ballots for nobody in the presidential election won by centrist Emmanuel Macron A total of 4,066,802 people — nearly early 9 percent of voters — turned in blank or spoiled ballots Sunday, according to Interior Ministry. That’s the highest number since the Fifth Republic was founded in 1958. The “ballot blank” as a protest vote dates to the French Revolution. Also, a record 12,041,313 of people registered to vote stayed away from the polls — the highest number of abstentions since 1969, when conservative candidate Georges Pompidou crushed centrist Alain Poher. In all, nearly 17 million people didn’t vote for either candidate — which is 33 percent of the eligible voters. It was 24 percent in 2012. That’s more than the 10,637,120 who voted for far-right candidate Marine Le Pen. Macron received almost double the number of votes — 20,703,694. At 39 years old, he will be France’s youngest president. The non-vote sentiment grew in...

Mystery illness in Liberia suspected to be meningitis- Minister

Image
Medical samples from four of the victims of a disease in Liberia that initially baffled scientists have tested positive for a type of meningitis, the minister of health said. So far a total of 31 cases of the so-called mystery illness has been reported, including 13 deaths in an outbreak linked to the attendance of a religious leader’s funeral. While the symptoms are different from Ebola, the sudden deaths nevertheless stirred anxiety about an outbreak of the tropical illness which was often spread through burial rituals in the West African epidemic that ended less than a year ago. Seven specimens from the deceased tested positive for Neisseria meningitis, a particularly contagious type of bacteria, Dr. Bernice Dahn told reporters. “Based on these initial results from the U.S. Centre for Disease Control, we believe that we are dealing with a probable outbreak of meningitis in Sinoe, which spread to Montserrado and Grand Bassa counties,” she added while calling for ...

Chelsea one ‘little step’ from title – Conte

Image
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said his side were “another little step” from the Premier League title after they crushed Middlesbrough 3-0 to move to within touching distance of glory. Tottenham Hotspur’s surprise defeat at West Ham United last week handed Chelsea the initiative and they can now seal a second title triumph in three years if they win at West Bromwich Albion on Friday. “We’re very close. We must be honest. But we need to do another little step and win another game,” Conte told reporters after Monday’s match, which condemned Middlesbrough to relegation. “For sure now I’m a bit relaxed. This step was big for us, a big win. “Now we need to do another step. We have the possibility to do this on Friday against West Brom. “For sure it won’t be easy, because West Brom is a really good team, a physical team, and we must pay great attention. “We are very close, but we need another step to become cham...

Travel ban not anti-Muslim, says Trump administration

Image
Did Donald Trump’s contested travel ban deliberately single out Muslims? The US administration fiercely denied it during an appeals court hearing Monday — despite the president’s campaign call for a blanket Muslim ban. The hearing came as Trump seeks to bounce back from a series of stinging judicial defeats over his controversial effort to bar travellers from half a dozen mainly Muslim countries. The question of intention is key since the US Constitution forbids religious discrimination. Trump’s detractors say it is beyond doubt that Muslims were the ban’s intended target, but the administration says it is motivated strictly by national security concerns, an area where US presidents have wide powers. Trump “never intended for that to discriminate on the basis of any particular religion,” Jeffrey Wall, the US acting solicitor general, told judges of the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond during an intensely argued afternoon heari...

Why I chose Algeria over France – Mahrez

Image
Riyad Mahrez chose to play for Algeria rather than France, where he was born, in a tribute to his late father, the African player of the year’s brother said. Propelled to global renown by Leicester City’s amazing run to Premier League glory, the 25-year-old will be one of the most watched stars at the Cup of African Nations where Algeria start against Zimbabwe on Sunday. Once considered too small for professional football, he will be one of the biggest names at the tournament in Gabon. Three years ago, Mahrez was making his debut for Leicester in England’s second tier Championship having played for Sarcelles, the French town where he was born. He only made his debut for Algeria in May 2014 a few months after declaring that he wanted to play for the African nation aroiund the same time as serious riots in Sarcelles. At just 1.78 metres (5 feet 10 inches) and a sinewy 70 kilos (154 pounds) nobody at Sarcelles imagined he could soar to such heady prodessional heigh...

Kogi youths celebrate return of MMM

Image
Youths all around the Kogi state capital city of Lokoja on Saturday were at several beer parlours to celebrate the return of the controversial Mavrodi Mondial Movement, a Ponzi scheme that froze the accounts of 3 million Nigerian members in December, causing panic and anxiety. The scam returned yesterday, a day before it’s initial comeback date of 14th January. Most of the revellers were students of the state owned polytechnic in Lokoja. They expressed surprise about the comeback of the pyramid money investment scheme, that promises players 30 per cent return, a day ahead of schedule. Segun Ademola, a student, said he had invested over N300,000 in his MMM account. He said he was glad to have the operation bounce back. He has a lot of high hopes, that he would reap his investment. He said, “I am the happiest person on earth today, God bless Mavrodi.” Fola Owobo, another student, said she used her school fees to provide help to some other person she did not...

Investors stranded as MMM reopens

Image
Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, a Ponzi scheme known simply as MMM, on Friday opened for business after one month of break, but investors in the scheme have remained stranded as they still cannot access their funds. MMM had announced the resumption on its Twitter handle, saying it was “now open” even though it had initially promised to reopen today, Saturday, January 14. In the message, the scheme’s founder, Sergey Mavrodi, said because of the likely deluge of requests from participants, payments would be gradual and have limits. He also said it would prioritise payments to participants with small amounts, which were not specified, and that big investors would have to wait longer. “Please, be prepared to wait for a couple of days. We are certain things will then calm down, and the system operation will return to normal. “We’re the ones setting limits, so it’s completely under our control, and we are not expecting any emergencies in principle. Have no fear and go on...

Maradona backs 48-team World Cup

Argentine football legend Diego Maradona on Monday backed controversial plans to expand the World Cup to 48 teams, a day before world football’s powerful governing council faces a key decision on the issue. “It sounds like a fantastic idea to me,” the 56-year-old told reporters at FIFA’s Zurich headquarters. “This will give more possibilities to countries that have never reached that level of competition,” he added. The hobbled Maradona spoke dripping with sweat after rumbling his way through a mini-tournament involving former football greats and current executives. FIFA president Gianni Infantino has organised a series of so-called “Legends Tournaments” since taking charge of the body last year, playing alongside former football stars in front of assembled media. Infantino has made expanding the World Cup the centrepiece of his young administration, but his plans have faced criticism, including from those ...
