You Should Be A Leader In Nollywood - Tinubu Blasts Jonathan
President Goodluck Jonathan commissioned his attack lion Doyin Okupe to
attack APC leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, rather than address the issues
he raised. As we had expected, Tinubu has fired back:
“The reaction of Goodluck Jonathan’s Presidential Cry Babies to Tinubu’s extensive comments on the proposed national conference was predictable. As usual, rather than deal with the salient and substantial issues surrounding the proposed National Conference raised by Former Governor Tinubu, the reaction from the presidency skirted around them.
In typical fashion, it resorted to abusive language and name calling. Okupe, like a punch drunk pugilist, threw several empty jabs and went on a flight of fancy praising his boss and flaunting fictional achievements of the administration in the face of Nigerians.
We leave it to Nigerians to judge. They are the ones who feel the pains and millions will not be able to relate to all the fictional transformational achievements reeled out by the Presidency.
Nigerians are saddled with a President who believes fiction is more important than fact and imagination is more genuine than reality. While we would not mind such a person to be a leading figure in our Nollywood film industry, I am frightened that he is the Chief Resident of Aso Villa and surrounded by a cast of like minds.
Tinubu’s searching questions about the Jonathan Conference remain fundamental. We urge Jonathan and his cry babies to take time to read through the statement and address the cloud of doubts surrounding the proposed conference. This is a flip-flopping Presidency and on this issue it must provide answers.
Tinubu is satisfied that he has raised the provocative questions that need be asked and no amount of shadow boxing and presidential foul language can change that.”

Kano State bans "Indecent dressing", prohibits tricycles from carrying male & female passengers
Sharia Law has taken a new dimension in Kano State.According to Yahoo news...Police also have orders to arrest any cabbie carrying men and women together in the confined space of the three-wheeled taxis
Yola told The Associated Press on Monday that 10,000 officers will be deployed to ensure the laws are enforced, including “a law in the state which prohibits gender mix in commercial vehicles.”He said officers have orders to stop and search to make sure everyone obeys — including Christians.
In Kano on Monday, taxi driver Jamilu mai Babur, a Muslim, was rebellious:
“The way and manner some of the commercial tricycle operators engage in indecent dressing and carry men and women together is disturbing,” said Yusuf Yola, spokesman for the Hisbah board that is responsible for ensuring compliance with Shariah laws in Kano.He said such dress, with pants cut off just below the knee like Bermuda shorts, also was “un-Hausa,” referring to the biggest tribe in Nigeria’s north.Usually it’s women who are the target of the Islamic police checking that they have properly covered their heads and limbs.

In Kano on Monday, taxi driver Jamilu mai Babur, a Muslim, was rebellious:
“I will not comply with this useless order because Shariah is not about violating human rights.”Jamilu Hisba, another Muslim driver, agreed but said he would have to obey.
“It’s against Islam, this forceful order, but they have power over us so I must comply because this is my means of survival.”
Actor Kalu Ikeagwu Speaks On Why He Is Still Single
Here is what he told Daily Sun;
“Do I want to get married? Yes. But that would be when I find the right person; I mean that person I love so much and want to spend the rest of my life with; that’s when I’ll settle down.
The reason why I am not married now is that marriage is very important to me. I have come to terms with the fact that marriage is the most important institution from God. And I take that very seriously. Ultimately I would like my relationship with my wife to be like that between God and the church; that’s why it is important to me. I wouldn’t say it’s been challenging though. I have gone through a lot of experiences that made me wise. When I get married, my experiences would make me a wise, good and a loving father.
I like a woman with a great sense of humor; that’s very important to me. And of course, she has to be very attractive and intelligent. Above everything else she should have a close relationship with God because that’s very important to me as well. That’s exactly why I am yet to get married. I want to be successful in my marriage just as I am in my career.”

My Husband Once Told Me I Didn't Kiss A Man Well In A Movie- Mercy Aigbe
An interviewer asked the actress about how her husband feels whenever she is being kissed or fondled in the movies she acts in, and here is what she said;
"I don’t think he cares, because he knows it’s a make-believe sort of thing. There was even a film that I’m supposed to kiss somebody, and when he watched the film he told me that I did not do it well. He said it was not done professionally. The only thing I cannot do is to act nude''.

'Pilot error caused Associated Airlines plane crash' - AIB reveals
The Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) has revealed that the October
3rd Associated Airlines crash that killed 14 people was caused by pilot
error. The agency explained that the preliminary readout and analysis of
the
flight recorder indicated that the right engine of the aircraft was
faulty.
The agency also said that preliminary
investigation indicated that the captain-in-command of the ill-fated
aircraft, Abdulrahman Yakubu, ignored the warning from the onboard
computer voice.
This was disclosed to journalists by the
Commissioner for AIB, Capt. Usman Muktar, while reading out the
preliminary readout and analysis of flight 361’s flight recorders in
Abuja yesterday.
He said the investigation was done in
AIB laboratory in Abuja in conjunction with international flight
recorder experts from Canada, who designed the laboratory.
Capt. Mukthar said the Flight Data
Recorder (FDR) contained approximately 47 hours in solid state memory,
while the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) contained thirty-two and a half
minutes of audio, which included internal conversation of two pilots,
radio calls, and the overall environment in the cockpit.
Muktar said that Associated Airlines
flight 361 was cleared for take-off by the Air Traffic Controller on
runway 18 left of the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA) Lagos, adding that
at that time, the wind was calm and weather was not considered a factor
in the accident.
He added that four seconds after the
engine power was advanced to commence take off roll, the crew received
an automated warning from the onboard computer voice which consisted of
three chimes followed by “Take off Flap, Take off Flap, Take off flap.”
He stated that this configuration
warning suggested that the flaps were not in the correct position for
take-off and there was evidence that the crew might have chosen not to
use flaps for the take-off.
According to him, “This warning did not
appear to come as any surprise to the crew, and they continued normally
with the take-off. This warning continues throughout the take-off roll.“
Capt. Mukhtar added that AIB was in the
process of verifying the accuracy of the flight data, adding that the
agency had not been able to confirm the actual flap setting and that AIB
was expected to determine this in the fullness of time.
The AIB commissioner added that the ‘set
power’ call was made by the captain and the ‘power is set’ was
confirmed by the First Officer as expected in the normal operations,
adding that approximately three seconds after the ‘power is set’ call,
the First Officer noted that the aircraft was moving slowly.
Approximately seven seconds after the
‘power is set‘ call, the internal aircraft voice warning system could be
heard stating ‘Take off Flap, Auto Feather’.
He explained that auto feather refers to
the pitch of the propeller blades, adding that in the feather position,
the propeller does not produce any thrust.
The Flight Data Recorder, he said, contains several engine related parameters, which the AIB was studying.
“At this time, we can state that the
right engine appears to be producing considerably less thrust than the
left engine. The left engine appeared to be working normally. The
aircraft automated voice continued to repeat, Take off Flap, Auto
Feather.’ “
According to an aircraft engineer, Sheri
Kyari, the flap on an aircraft is located at the trailing edge of the
wing. It is at the rear end of the wings.
Kyari, a former president of Pilots and
Aircraft Engineers in the defunct Nigeria Airways Limited, the function
of the flap when operational increases the surface area of the wing,
thereby generating enough lift at low aircraft speeds. This is when the
aircraft is taking off or landing.
Kyari, is convener and executive director, Centre of Aviation Safety and Research.
“When the flap is not set to the
required degree for take off, the aircraft will have to do a long
take-off run before gaining enough lift to lift-off the ground,” he
said.
Reading out the preliminary report, AIB
said “the standard ‘eighty knots’ call was made by the First Officer.
The first evidence that the crew indicated that there was a problem with
the take-off roll was immediately following the ‘eighty knots’ call.
“The First Officer asked if the take-off should be aborted approximately 12 seconds after the ‘eighty knots’ callout”
AIB added that the captain, in response
to the Flight Officer’s question to abort the take off, said that they
should continue, adding that the crew did not make V1 call, which is the
speed at which the decision to abort or continue a take-off is made, or
the Vr call, which indicates the speed at which it is planned to rotate
the aircraft.
The Commissioner added that normally, the non-flying pilot pulls back both the V1 and the Vr speeds,
He said that when the Vr was called, the
flying pilot pulled back the control column. The First Officer asked
the Captain ‘gently’, a word that indicated that the aircraft was not
performing normally.
He added that the aircraft did not
produce enough overall thrust and that it was difficult or impossible to
climb without risk of an aerodynamics stall.
An aviation expert, Mallam Muhammadu
Dodo, described aerodynamics as the streamline of air flow around the
aircraft due to its design. It enables it to attain a stable and safe
flight.
Immediately after lift-off, the aircraft
slowly veered off the runway, heading to the right and was not
climbing, and that the aircraft behaviour made ATC to ask the pilot if
Flight 361 operation was normal but that they did not respond, and that
31 seconds after the warning, the aircraft crashed.

Between BBA host Ik Osakioduwa and his wife, awwww see love...
Haha. Awwwww...sweet! It's nice to see a young couple joke around like this...
"If Yvonne Nelson's account was really hacked she should apologize-Karen Igho is still on the matter
You must have heard of the crazy tweets sent from Yvonne Nelson's
twitter account where she dissed many Nigerian celebs.Also said Karen's
boobs were fake that's why she doesn't have a boyfriend...She claimed
her account was hacked but Karen Igho thinks she lied and blasted her on
twitter calling her unprintable names
Today Karen still not backing down continued by saying Yvonne should have apologized if the hack was true..
But should Yvonne really apologize for what she didn't tweet?

"“I’d love to marry Genevieve, my story is not complete without her” – Dbanj admits
Wow..this is some love story!
Dbanj is obviously still in love with Genevieve and the best part
is that he is planning to produce a movie called Banga Lee staring
Genevieve.
In a recent interview with PUNCH, D’banj disclosed how much he loves the Nollywood actress.
See excerpts below:
“Apart from the fact that she is my friend, she has been
a part of my success. There is no way you are going to tell my story
that Genevieve’s name will not come up because she featured in my
biggest song of all time, Fall in Love. So if E True Story comes to
Nigeria to interview me, she will definitely be called upon to tell my
story.I would love to have Genevieve as my wife. We never can tell what
God plans for us in the future. I have studied her and I realised that
anyone that has her as his woman has found himself a treasure. Just like
the Bible says, any man who finds a wife, finds a good thing.”
“If I say I don’t miss Don Jazzy, I am lying. I have spent the
better part of my career with him. I was married to him in a way
(laughs). So I miss everything about Mo’Hits: the family, the movement,
and the vibe of being in the studio with him. I miss the jokes and the
arguments, but I have since keyed into the notion that nothing can stop a
moving train.
“Nevertheless we can always do music together. The track, ‘Top of
the World’ was produced by a Grammy Award Winner. The songs ‘Finally’
and ‘Don’t Tell Me Nonsense’ was produced by my producer while ‘Oliver
Twist’ was produced by Don Jazzy. So, why won’t I have him on my 10
years anniversary album?
On his success
“I have never said I am a musician; I am an entertainer. Some people say I can pick up a microphone and become a comedian. Therefore nobody should come and ask if I want to go into acting because they should know I am already an actor. It depends on when the right script and concept lands in my hands.
“For now, I am concerned about achieving new things and breaking new grounds. By the time I enter Hollywood, I believe that I’ll become as successful as I have been as a singer. The movie titled ‘I am Banga Lee’, starring Genevieve, to be released in 2014, won’t be a bad idea,”
Olatunji Okusanya's 91 year old mum is inconsolable as M.I.C shuts down to mourn boss&staff (PHOTOS)
The aged mother of the late MIC Caskets and Undertakers boss,
Olatunji Okusanya who died in the ill-fated Associated Aviation plane
crash, Mrs. Juliana Olayemi Okusanya is still in shock, says a family
source.
When journalists visited the Bariga, Lagos home of the Okusanya matriarch, the 91-year-old bereaved mother looked pale, fragile and speechless.
By her side were rolls of tissue paper, which indicated that she had been crying herself to stupor.
A family member told journalists that: “Grandma has been taking it as a Christian, since the Holy Book says that we should not mourn as the unbelievers because we will see our dead on the resurrection morning. But I can tell you that it is not easy at all. Mama keeps shouting ‘two generations at once.’ We are taking solace in God. Grandma is still greatly in shock and disbelief."
Meanwhile, the management of Magbamawo Industrial Company (M.I.C) Funeral Services has suspended business activities in order to mourn the passing away of six staff members including their boss, Olatunji Okunsanya and his son, Olatunji Okunsanya Jr.
The workers who died on the ill-fated Associated Airline plane crash of Thursday, October 3, 2013 are Chijioke Duru, Kings Amaechi, Samson Hassan and Abdul-Hakeem Akintunde (who was buried on Tuesday morning according to the Islamic rites).
May their souls rest in peace!
