Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Today was so dramatic and confusing for me because I am between life and death as I speak.
After the work period today, already in the parking lot and I realised I forgot my wallet on my working desk, I went back to the office, as I open the department door what I saw was unimaginable; my Boss pant down with my Supervisor's wife.
They were shocked as I caught them.
I just turned back to go and my boss said something that has refused to leave my head for long now.
He said "If another person know what you discover today you will either be dead or alive".
Am really scared as I type this because I need candid help please.
Save a brother. .

Being Broke Is No Big Deal -Azadus
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Singer, Azadus, is definitely one of the pioneers of what we all call hip-hop and ragga in todays's music industry. He hit the limelight with his hit song, You is the One, in the late 1990s, did many shows, gigs and all, many believed he had come to the industry to stay. Shortly after, nothing was heard from the singer again.
Azadus in an interview with punch saturday beats explained the reason for the discontinuity in his music career. In his words during the interview, he said,
"It is obvious I left Kennis because my contract with them expired and my career dwindled. When I was with Kennis Music, all hands were on deck to push my music out but now that I am on my own, everything is left to me. But the major reason I was out of the limelight was because I was attacked by armed robbers. I was shot in my neigbhourhood at FESTAC. I was away from music for over a year because I was hospitalised. That was what affected me. I could not move freely because I lost faith in the security around where I was staying. I hardly went out because I was afraid of another attack. I went through a lot of trauma."
He also went further to address the news going around that he us broke and can hardly fend for himself and his family. He claimed being broke is not a crime.
"If people think I am broke, they should come and give me money. At least I thank God that I am taking care of my family. Being broke is not a crime; it is not an offence. I don't know when being broke became an offence in the country. I am broke and people that think they have money should come and give me money. Even Greece and some other countries were broke at a time. They went through recession. That is no news. News is talking about my music; if it is better than it was or worse. It is not about my personal life but what connects me and the world; how people feel my music. People should talk about my music and not my personal life," he said.
He also told Saturday Beats that his career has not failed until he is dead.
"A failed career belongs to a dead person. When someone is dead, there is no hope but as long as the person is not dead, there is still opportunity for the person to get back on top. There is no such thing, my career is very much alive. My career cannot fail till I am dead," Azadus said.

Busted! Source Of Banky W's Enormous Wealth
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Self proclaimed King of the Lagos party, Banky W is known to be a good musician, who has many mouth-watering endorsement deals going for him but it would appear these are not the main sources through which the E.M.E boss builds his wealth which seems to be on the upward curve steadily.
The top music star on Smart Money with Arese, a personal finance platform on Instagram took time out to share his personal finance tips and gives an insight to other businesses he is into. "The wealthiest people in urban music aren't there because they have the hottest singles out. The Dr Dres, Puff Daddys and Jayzes are not super rich mainly because of their hits.
They only used music as a platform to do other things. Those are the people I study. At the moment, I am into advertising, events production, marketing consulting, promotions and getting more into fashion and real estate. Business interests behind the scene that no one knows about. Diversifying my income is key. My long term well-being cannot be dependent on the last hit song I put out" he declares.

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Like his father, Fela Kuti, Seun Kuti isn't the type to mince words when it comes to airing his opinion on nation issues. Recently on Wazobia Tv the Afrobeat star unequivocally declared that he would not vote in the coming elections because he does not believe in the process and the creation called Nigeria.
" Right from 1960 people in government have never been pro-people. I don't believe the government we have in view have the interest of the people at heart. Count me out of the election, I will not vote" he said.
"Nigeria is not an African creation. It's not an African that created Nigeria. It wasn't out forefathers that came together to create Nigeria. It's an European who sat down in his house to create this country. This country was not designed to work. Europeans understand that for a country to work ,it has to share a common language, common culture and a common identity" he added.
He enjoined the youth to take their destiny in their own hands and rise to participate in politics enmass, adding that they make up the largest demography of the population." I can participate in politics only when the young people have created their own platform. We need a young person that can connect directly with the youths" he quipped.

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Tongues wagged, fingers snapped and social media user blasted singer, Seyi Shay over her choice of dress to #Meet the President# event last weekend.
The picture where the singer, wearing an incredibly short dress, while sitting beside the president, went viral and so many fans and foes have expressed their feelings concerning Seyi's outfit..
However, the perturbed singer has reacted and explained why she had to wear such a dress to sit and chat with the President.
She told Punch that she is a respectable lady and was not planning to seduce the president in any way.
"I am a very respectable young lady and I was not in any way trying to seduce the President with the outfit I wore. I had two outfits for the event, one was for my performance and the other was worn after I performed. The dress I was pictured in with the President was what I wore during my performance.
"I came on stage and greeted everyone according to their culture and I did the same for Mr. President. He was impressed and he asked where and how I knew how to greet in his native dialect and I said I learnt it. That was what brought about the giggling and smiles in the picture. I'm a performer and what I do on stage doesn't reflect my everyday life. I had two outfits on that day and it was a youth event. Who wouldn't feel overwhelmed meeting the President? Well, I did and I felt honoured because it is not every day you get to meet the president of your country," she said.
The pretty talented Singer also urged her teeming fans to expect her much anticipated album at the last quarter of the year.
"I am busy working on my album and it would be out by the last quarter of the year. I promise not to disappoint my fans. I would deliver because I love you all," she said.

Going by what we recently gathered from a Ghanaian source, the father of Nadia Buhari's twins may not be anywhere close to African continent as we've just been hinted that the man who put her in family way is based in Atlanta, USA.
The source says he proposed to her in January 2014. This is triggering another set of name calling. Some of her fans called her unprintable names for accepting marriage proposals from two different men at the same time, Jim Iyke and this Atlanta based twins' father.
This will be the second attempt of the Ghollywood actress making babies out of wedlock. Hope all is well with her with this decision of hers!

Lobatan! Court Dissolves Marriage Over Wife's Constant Beating Of Husband
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
An Igando Customary Court in Lagos on Friday dissolved a 20-year-old marriage between Olayiwola Ajayi and his wife, Isiwa, over battery by wife.
The President of the court, Mr Rasak Adeyeri, held that both parties were no longer husband and wife and they were free to go their separate ways.
Ajayi, 72, a retired civil servant, had alleged that his wife always threatened his life through beating, among other things.
"My wife is fond of beating me, she beats me on any slight provocation, I am tired of being brutalised.
"A day cannot pass without her laying her hands on me, I am afraid she may kill me one day if I still continue in the marriage", Ajayi said.
He described his wife as an unfaithful woman who left the house without permission and hardly slept at home.
"My wife can leave the house for a week without telling me. When she returns and I query her about her disappearance from home, she always tell me that she went for vigil.
"I believe that she is seeing another man, she did not go to any vigil", he said.
He claimed that his wife always stole his money and it was only the two of them that stay in the house.
Olayiwola alleged that his wife did not cook for him nor wash his clothes that he cooked and washed his clothes himself despite his blindness.
The petitioner begged the court to dissolve his 20-year-old marriage, saying he was no longer interested in the union as he did not want to die now.
However, Isiwa, 40, a cleaner, denied all the allegations, but alleged that her husband always denied her s*x.
"My husband is starving me of s*x, he refused to make love to me, he will be giving me one excuse or the other", she said.
Isiwa described Olayiwola as a drunk who drank a lot and misbehaved thereafter.
She said that she had never beaten him, adding that she used to cook and wash his clothes.
The respondent said that she was not dating any man, and accused her husband of being unfaithful.
She said that there was a day she saw him coming out of one of his tenant's room with towel on round his waist.
The mother of two begged the court not to grant her husband's wish because she still loves him. (NAN)

He told the court that he got healed from the affliction when he left the house.
"I am free from affliction, I do not want to have anything to do with Ganiyat again, I want a dissolution,'' the father of two, ages 16 and 19 years, said.
The wife, Ganiyat, 47, a fashion designer who lives at 6, Ogabi Square, Agege, told the court that she was not responsible for her husband's affliction.
"When I met him, he had nothing, now he can boost of something. I am surprised at what he said because when his affliction started, I followed him to all the places he went to seek for solution.
"He parked out of the house since 2011 but I still love him.
"If he insisted on the dissolution, it is acceptable to me but he must refund the money I used to take care of his children during his exit", she said.

Woman Stabbed, Robbed By Hoodlums Invited By Her Security Guard While Husband Was Away
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Lagos State Police Command is currently investigating a case of how a man simply identified as Tunde, the security guard of Nurse Ukamaka Onyeka,( pictured above) invited armed robbers to attack her home in the Ago area of Lagos state.
Narrating her ordeal, Onyeka said;
"On the fateful day, my husband traveled out of Lagos, leaving me, my children, house-help and our security guard. I went to work and returned late at night. When I drove into our compound, I did not expect that armed robbers were at our security post. We have a dog but it did not bark. Immediately, I alighted from my car and entered my room, two men armed with knife and cutlass pounced on me and warned that I must co-operate with them as two others armed with guns were keeping watch at our gate. They pushed me down, tied my hands and legs with rope.
They also forced clothes inside my mouth. After covering my mouth with clothes, they now ordered me to show them where I kept money in the house. One of them placed a knife on my throat, threatening to slash it if I failed to co-operate. When I saw that they meant business, I now showed them where I kept a N100,000 which they collected. The money was for my school fees. After collecting the money, I thought they would go. They also collected laptops, jewellery, wristwatch and mobile phones. They commanded me to take them to my husband's room. In the room, out of fear, I still pointed to them the wardrobe where my husband kept money, they opened it and collected the money in his box. The hoodlums, after collecting the money, still stabbed me on the neck. They locked me in the room in the pool of my own blood. I bled for about 20 minutes. Why I strongly suspect my guard was that while the robbery was going on, the hoodlums were calling his names. He was also busy patrolling from one room to the other without the robbers hurting him or even cautioning him. At a point, he came inside the room where I was tied and told the armed men not to kill me. After the attack, my guard left in company with the robbers, but later resurfaced. I now accused him of inviting the robbers. Moreso, during and after the attack, our dog did not bark and I later discovered that Tunde had locked it inside the cage. As I went to report at the Ago police station, Tunde fled from the premises. When the police came, I discovered that the knife that used on me was my kitchen knife which Tunde collected from me to peel oranges. The rope they used in tying me is also the one he was using to hang his clothes. The pillow case they stuffed in my mouth also belonged to him," she said.
Tunde is said to have confessed to committing the crime.

The three Nigerians are Silvester Obiekwe Nwolise (39), Okwudili Oyatanze (40), and Spanish born Nigerian, Raheem Agbaje Salami (45). They are facing execution alongside six other foreign nationals for drug-related offences by the Indonesian authorities.
Indonesian president, Joko Widodo, rejected pleas for clemency, saying the country is suffering a drug emergency and already, Indonesia's attorney-general, Muhammad Prasetyo, says preparations have been concluded at the execution site were they are to face a firing squad.
It is unclear when the execution will take place, but yesterday, Australian Andrew Chan (31), his country man, Myuran Sukumaran (33), Agbaje Salami, and Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso (30) from the Philippines were moved to Nusakambangan, a high security prison island where executions are conducted.
Other countries with nationals to be executed are Brazil, France and Ghana.
At the meeting in the presidential villa where Indonesian ambassador Purwanto submitted his letter of credence, President Jonathan pleaded with the Indonesians for clemency for the Nigerians who were nabbed running drugs, while in prison.
According to a source at the presidential villa who spoke anonymously because he is not authorised to speak on the matter: "The president met with the Indonesian delegation and was quite persuasive in making the case that a moratorium be placed on the execution of the Nigerians on death row."
The source however said that the government is not coming out to make statements or make a show about its efforts in trying to ensure that the lives of the Nigerian citizens are spared because "in this political season, if anything goes wrong during the negotiations, opponents of the president would not consider the efforts put in and will simply make a meal out of the issue."
Other countries, and even Amnesty International, have been pleading with the Indonesian government to not go ahead with the planned execution. Brazil postponed accepting the credentials of Indonesia's newly designated envoy in protest, while Australia called for a 'reciprocation' of the $1 billion 2004 tsunami aid package by sparing the lives of its citizens.
