Fresh BEEF: ‘Choc’ boy Ice Prince fires shots at Brymo
About a week ago, the Aboki of Nigerian music – Ice Prince was on
Twitter talking about how artistes are ungrateful to music labels that
signed them and lots of other issues all surrounded by record label
issues.
Well, now we all know what direction he was taking his concerns to. Very reliable sources have revealed that although Ice Prince didn’t directly call out Brymo’s name; the tweets were directly aimed at him.
Apparently, Ice Prince has bloated out what he thinks about former label mate Brymo’s departure from ‘Chocolate City’ record label.
Long story short, rapper Ice Prince indirectly called Brymo an outright liar and ingrate …the Aboki rapper express himself on Twitter, read his tweets below:
“Just read an article and so many things said wrong. God is watching,” Ice Prince tweeted.
“Dear artiste, your career is pretty much in your hand, do not blame any label or individual if you end up not being happy with how sh*t it goes.”
“If you’re an artiste and you don’t want label to make money off you. Then don’t sign. Don’t accept the car and flat. Do everything by yourself.”
“Most of the hustle to get your music where you want it to be is on you my brother!! Spend your time working and not criticizing other artistes”
“For someone to want to put their hard earned money into your career even when he/she Spends more than they make is enough to say Thank You.”

Okonta still remembers that morning when a neighbour rushed to the
colonial residence of Dr. Harrison at Ikoyi, Lagos, where he worked to
announce to him that his wife Mariana had been delivered of a bouncing
baby boy. Okonta was dressed in his well- starched khaki uniform in the
colonial house when the cheery news got to him.
He made merry and entertained his friends to celebrate the birth of
his son and named him Harrison after the whiteman in whose household he
served as a servant.

The birth of his only son coincided with the celebration of Nigeria’s independence on October 1, 1960.
Today, Harrison is 52 years and lives in Lagos. He has no regular job after graduating from the university several years ago.
He had tried to sustain himself as a self-employed businessman but his business at Tincan Island suffered from excess custom duties and multiple taxations. Harrison couldn’t cope with the blows that fate had severally dealt on him. At 52, he has no house he could call his own.
He has no regular means of livelihood despite his B.SC in Business Administration and Masters Degrees in two other Disciplines. He has no home and has transversed severally between being an okada rider and a tricycle driver. On many occasions , he has served as a bus conductor and the finesse he acquired through education has given way to a crude, frustrated, middle-aged man.
But Harrison Ogbonna is not the only Nigerian whom fate has dealt with badly. Across the 36 States of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory, there are many Harrisons who have been battered by fate but only few were able to make a success story from the school of hard-knocks.
The above story sounds like the typical Nigerian story. From what they taught us in history, the pathway to Nigeria’s 52 years of independence was littered with broken promises.
Nigerians are people suffering from battered egos and damaged psyche. Ab initio, our leaders had envisaged prosperity for the country, given the country’s enormous resources but that had been mere dreams. As a nation very rich in oil resources, we have receded from oil boom to oil doom. Nigeria has become a giant with mosquito legs.
The elders of the country left good legacies. But their successors could not match the strength of the sages.
Sir Ahmadu Bello, former Premier of Northern Nigeria at our independence in 1960 said that the freedom of Nigeria from British rule is not the freedom of the jungle, where might is right.
“We are not free to molest others less strong than ourselves or to trample on their rights simply because we are in a position of authority over them. Independence brings with it heavier and new responsibilities.
The eyes of the world are on Nigeria now and there are many friends who hope that we shall be the leading nation in Africa. Let us say with all emphasis at my command that we shall never attain this goal if there is suspicion and mistrust among the peoples of Nigeria.
Such an attitude cannot benefit anyone and can easily lead to strife as has been the painful experience of other independent nations in Africa and elsewhere.”

TO SNEEZE IS A BLESSING
Have you ever wondered why someone says ‘bless you’ when you sneeze?
And no one says anything when you belch or cough or even fart. I’m sure you have wondered it as I have. My curiosity drove me to find out the relationship between these two seemingly unrelated phenomenon.
According to findings, wishing someone well after a sneeze originated from time immemorial.During the Early Roman Empire, people would say ‘Jupiter preserve you or salve which meant good health to you and theGreek would wish each other ‘long life’ when someone sneezes.
However, the coinage of bless youafter a sneeze is directly attributed to Pope Gregory the Great in AD 590 who it is believed to have uttered it during a bubonic plague as sneezing was believed to be one of the symptoms of the plague.
Funny yet true, almost all countries have a way of saying a greeting after a sneeze, in china to start with when a child sneezeshe or she would hear ‘bai sui’ meaning ‘may you live up to 100 years (might explain why they livelong?). Arabs would say ‘Alhamdulillah’ meaning ‘praise to God’ while Hindus would say ‘live’ or ‘Live well’ among others
Even more superstitious is the belief in some quarter that sneezing releases a bit of a person’s soul through the nose ( Iguess I have just a quarter of my soul left at this stage), however a ‘bless you’ would stop the devil from claiming the freed bits.
In however form it may come, science has proven that a sneeze is a reflex action commonly caused by cold, strong odour or an allergy and has no founded spiritual connotation.
Albeit, whether out of courtesy or custom, when next there’s a sneeze around you be sure to say a bless you – Etttcchhhheeemmm !!!! Did I hear a bless me?........K-UDZ

How we can accomplish Nigeria’s mission, by Wole Soyinka(1)
Do we need to point out that as a nation we are covered with shame that it took an external court of justice, of the former colonial masters, to finally put an end to the costly shenanigans of another of your former brother governors, one who held the forces of anti-corruption at bay, led them a merry dance all the way to Dubai until he was plucked out of his imagined sanctuary?
And what of that judge, the judge who freed him of over a hundred and fifty criminal charges here, in this very nation, pronounced him innocent of blasting the very future of the generations under his watch by a career of systematic, unconscionable robbery? Why are we surprised therefore to find ourselves faced with a future where all sense of community has all but evaporated and only predators roam the streets, making their own laws of survival as they proceed.
Yes, they make their own laws, for even these know that without law, written or unwritten, there is no community, and without community, all talk of nation is vain. Nations are built on the palpable operations of community, otherwise they are empty, artificial and hollow. They collapse with the tiniest pinpricksof unrest, they drift into oblivion with the slightest winds of external pressure.
So, that learned judge held the strings of community in his hands, the judge who pronounced our elusive governor free of all blemish, that custodian and administrator of justice, our question today is – ishe still passing judgment in this nation, or has he proceeded on retirement leave to Dubai?
Permit me to recall an exercise ina minor key in one’s seeming obsession with the future which,of course, I continue to see as the immutable responsibility of the present, otherwise, what is the present all about? In the early years of the return of the nation to civilian rule, I was invited to take part in a rather imaginative form of mentoring, initiated by a Japanese Televisionstation, loaded with the grandiose name – Super Teachers. It involved having a selected group of teachers – not necessarily teachers by profession – take a group of school pupils under their wing for a number of weeks.
Those teachers were selected on the basis of having attained some prominence in their disciplines. They were free to decide on a school, and from thatschool extract a class, or a group of pupils across classes, then expose them to aspects of their own calling. Science, technology, architecture, the performing arts etc – virtually all disciplines were represented, and the entire mentoring interaction was filmed.
What I privately relished in that project – this is just by the way – was that it enables me till today to boast that, for a few weeks at least, I was on the same payroll and salary as Bill Gates. I know that he would not have touched his honorarium – if at all they dared offer him such pittance.
However, as a man whose field isvirtual reality, he would be the first to concede to me when I claim that, virtually speaking, we were earning the same salary from a shared project! So much for vicarious living. The programme, I was about to elaborate, allowed for the pupils to be taken anywhere that related to, or could enhance the imparting of knowledge – withinthe station’s budget of course.
Thus, in the process of selecting a school, that school understood that it was obliged to release the pupils to accompany the mentor wherever – I recall that the American pupils were flown to some part of North Africa where the archeologist in the Super Teachers team was working on an excavation site.
In my own case, the producers agreed that I would travel with my students to other parts of thecountry – it was an opportunity to expose the pupils to the nation’s diversity – religion, culture, history, the arts – whatever came under the rubric of Humanities. Now, as It happened at the time, I had also received invitations from two or three legislative houses to address them, and so I seized theopportunity to induct my pupils into the work of law makers.
We began with Lagos where I off-loaded them on the public gallery of the House of Assembly. Afterwards, they were free to askquestions, make observations, and we would exchange views on their experience. I want you to listen carefully to the followingextract from my address to the Lagos House of assembly: “I invite you, honourable members, to look up at that gallery. You willobserve that you have some rather unusual visitors.

EASTER DAY BOMBING AT KADUNA
KADUNA (AFP) - A car bomb attack outside a church in Kaduna on Easter Sunday left at least 20 dead and scores wounded, a rescue source said.
The explosion, a stark reminder of Christmas Day attacks that left dozens dead in the country, occurred where motorcycle taxi drivers and passersby caught much of the blast.

“Now we have 20 dead from the twin explosions,” the rescue official, who was not authorised to speak publicly, told AFP. Officials were still counting the number of wounded, he added.
“Bombs concealed in two cars went off just opposite this church,” he said.
A police officer at the scene said a man believed to be a suicide bomber driving a car was stopped at a checkpoint near the church and turned back, but drove to a nearby area close to a hotel and detonated the bomb.
Other cars in the area were damaged, but it was unclear if they were also carrying explosives, he said.
A spokesman for the national emergency management agency said most of the victims appeared to be motorcyle taxi drivers who were in the area at the time.
Police confirmed the explosion was a bomb, but did not officially comment further.
“We have a bomb explosion. We are trying to sort things out,” police spokesman Aminu Lawal told AFP.
Residents reported seeing dead and injured being taken away. An AFP correspondent said he saw 10 bodies, while one resident said he counted at least 10 wounded.
Another resident said that “from my balcony, I could see policemen loading the dead and the injured into waiting vans.”

Bribery allegation:ACN asks NASS to impeach Jonathan
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has asked the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan,having admitted openly that he solicited a bribe from a foreign construction company, in violation of the Constitution that he swore touphold.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said commencing the impeachment proceedings will enable the National Assembly to investigate the matter and also reach the appropriate conclusions, since the President, by his own admission and without any prompting, has thumbedhis nose at the Constitution.
”To know the gravity of the President’s self admission of soliciting the church ‘gift’ from the Managing Director of Gitto Construzioni GeneraliNigeria Limited (GCG), one needs to understand Section 6 of the Code of Conduct for Public officers embodied in the First Schedule of the 1999 Constitution and the Code of Conduct and TribunalAct (CAP C15) Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
”The Act states: ‘A public officer shall not ask for or accept any property or benefits of any kind for himself or any other person on account of anything doneor omitted to be done by himin the discharge of his duties.
“For the purposes of subsection (1) of this subsection, the receipt by a public officer of any gifts or benefits from commercial firms, business enterprises or persons who have contracts with the Government shall be presumed to have been received in contravention…unless the contrary is proved’,” it said.
ACN said by his improper andunfortunate action, the President has also undermined the country’s fight against corruption and put Nigeria’s democracy in jeopardy, hence must not be allowed to get away with such an egregious act.
”Gitto has obtained billions of contracts from the Nigerian government, amid reported allegations in the media that it has not executed such contracts well.How can the federal government hold the company to account, when it(firm) has obtained an ”insurance cover” by bribing the President? Is this not why the country’s anti-corruption efforts have not achieved anything? Can the EFCC and the ICPC honestly and boldly fight corruption when the President is knee-deep in themud of corruption?” it queried.
The party said by openly and gleefully saying, at the inauguration of the church at his Otuoke hometown, that ”the managing director of Gitto made him a promise to build and donate the church to Otuoke communityafter he (the president) had complained of the aging structure of his church,” the President has demonstrated that he is either not conversant with the Constitution he swore to uphold or
thinks very little of the laws of the land.
”Either way, he should be held accountable for his deeds,” it said.
ACN said it would amount to wishful thinking to expect the country’s anti-corruption agencies to probe President Jonathan’s admission of soliciting and receiving bribery, hence the call on the National Assembly to handle the issue.
The party warned that ongoing attempts to twist the facts and make it seem as if the President did not solicit the bribe will not work, as Nigerians are too smart to be hoodwinked.
”If the President and his supporters deny that he indeed solicited the bribe – as he admitted at the inauguration of the church – we challenge the presidency to play – on national radio and television – the uneditedaudio and video recording ofhis speech at the occasion for all Nigerians to hear and see. Experts must also be called in to verify that the tape has not been tampered with in any way,” the party said.

ABUJA – As part of efforts to stop attacks of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, European Union and Nigeria, Wednesday, agreed to engage counter-terrorism experts.
Boko Haram has, in the past months, claimed responsibility for bomb blasts and shootings that have killed over 1,000 people.
A statement by the Foreign Affairs Minister, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, and his Danish counterpart, Villy Soevndal, on behalf of the EU, at the end of the two-day third Nigeria-European Union Ministerial Meeting in Abuja, said the experts will be saddled with the responsibility of identifying action plan to tackle security challenges in the Northern part of Nigeria.
They will also ensure continuous peace in the Niger Delta; they agreed on the need for the Federal Government to fully implement its amnesty programme in the region.
Ashiru, who read the statement, said: “The parties shared the same analysis as to peace, security and development challenges in Northern Nigeria, and in particular the threat of the extremist group known as Boko Haram.
“In that regard, they agreed to engage experts with a view to identifying a possible action plan and to enhance their cooperation in the field of counter-terrorism, while strengthening efforts in addressing the root causes of the security challenges in the North.
”The parties agreed that the core values which Nigeria and the EU share are key to overcoming terrorism.
“These values include an open society, adherence to the Rule of Law and respect for fundamental freedoms and human rights.
”The EU expressed its strong support for efforts being made to address causes of the current security threat, including socio-economic, governance and security issues.”
