Happy Birthday Innocent Idibia jnr!

(POEM) THERE WAS AN ACHEBE- Adesina Nathaniel Tosin

Like a comet
You came from no where
You grew like a jellyfish
Spreading your tentacles to the whole world
From the north to the south, east & west
Your glory was sang to high heavens


With your pen
You fought oppression
You fought injustice
You brought smile on us
From when things started falling apart
To the arrows of God that separated them


And a man of the people
That was no longer at ease
You remain courageous
Truthfulness was your watchword
You never compromise till the end
Just like a baby is dear to her mother


The Igbo nation was dear to you
You were loyal to Nigeria till the end
You fly her flag all over the world
You saw what others never saw
You roar through your pen like a lion
And the forests shook & tremble


You were great from cradle to grave
Those that saw you as an enemy
Bow to your greatness in death
Though you're gone, you exist among us
Those that try to silence you
Never succeeded in silencing your works


You were never tired till the last day
The ink from your pen never drops
There was a country was your last message to us
You saw it coming, but we never envisaged it
Though you're sleeping, we will always remember that
There was an Achebe.

"JAGBAJANTIS": Taribo West responds to age-cheating allegation

The former president of Partizan Belgrade said that "he joined us
saying he was 28. We only later found out he was 40, but he was still
playing well so I don't regret having him on the team."


West, who is now a devoted pastor, moved to Partizan in 2002 from
Derby County. He told reporters on Wednesday that: "I don't really
know what they are talking about and that's why I don't really have
anything much to say.


"But it is curious that they are raising such matter about 10 years
after I left the place. Why was the matter not raised while I was
there? Why talk about it long after I retired from the game.


"I think he is out of his mind. If I were 40 in 2002/2003 (season) as
he claimed,how old would be now? He is not a serious man," Taribo
countered in an interview with Complete Sports.


"After I left the club, I still played for seven or so more years at
the top level. I don't know how that is possible if I was indeed 40
then as he claimed.


"I am just going to ignore him because his allegation is standing
logic on its head."

though it didn't happen, he kept trying and recently, a friend
introduced us and we hit it off.


"He's a very quiet and private person, and someone who loves and
understands what Ido. He loves entertainment too, I won't say more
than that for now…"

Jonathan may grant Amnesty to Boko Haram

Indications emerged on Thursday that President Goodluck Jonathan had
reached adeal with northern leaders to grant amnesty to members of the
Boko Haram sect, as a means of ending the spate of raging violence
across the region.


As a prelude to granting the pardon to the group, Jonathan met for
several hours on Wednesday night with members of the powerful Northern
Elders' Forum, NEF at the Presidential Villa to secure their support
and cooperation towards ending the malevolent onslaught.


Specifically, the President wanted an undertaking from the elders that
they would impress upon the sect leaders and their followers to lay
down their arms and embrace the peace, as a condition for offering the
olive branch.


Under the plan, the Federal Government is to set up an Amnesty
Commission, which would serve as a quasi-judicial body, to register
and cater for repentant members of the sect and protect them from
being harassed or intimidated by security agents.


"The AC will then set up modalities for any member of Boko Haram, who
wants amnesty.Once a person signs up for amnesty, he is to be
protected by the commission.


"It is our strong belief that the arrangement would give the
government the leeway to find a lasting solution to the security
crisis in the North, a source at the meeting said.

Wizkid is still signed to E.M.E.- BankyW

While partying with 2face in Dubai, Banky W in an exclusive interview
had this to say:


"It's all bad belle people, they think there may be bad news and when
you don't give them that news they start to create it because bad news
sells more than good news.


First of all (go down low…lol), there was notwitter fight, people go
online and use photoshop to create my profile and then they go and
create Wizkid's profile and say he said this and that – even when it
never happened. What happened is that we have been working on Wizzy's
project to make it work internationally and when you are getting to
that level, things change.


He has his own idea of what he wants to do and we are in 100% support
of that andthese were the things we dreamed of back in 2009 when I
signed him….Wizkid is still signed to the E.M.E!!!


On Wizkid's starboy entertainment, he said "well you know that is
something else he wants to do, he wants to start his record label just
like I started mine then and see where I am today. You have a lot of
people fabricating stuff and trying to make it feel like there is a
battle and you know we don'tbelieve in that…we are all mature and
grown up people…he is absolutely and still part of the family…"


When asked "how does it work for him to have star boy entertainment
and still be part of E.M.E" he said, "I would give you a fantastic
example, Kanye West has GOOD MUSIC and he is still with Rock Nation,
ROCKAFELLA…I rest my case"
