TRIGGER HAPPY POLICEMAN RECKLESSLY FIRES SHOTS INTO UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN


A police corporal, Ajisafe Amos, escaped being lynched yesterday by angry students of the University of Ibadan when he gave a 400-level student of the institution, Adewale Adegboyega, a hot chase and allegedly shot his car at the main entrance of the university.

Adegboyega, who is a student in the Department of Guidance and Counselling of the institution said he ran into the campus because he was not sure of his safety in the hands of the policemen he encountered.

The police corporal reportedly shot twice with one bullet hitting the rear tyre of the student’s car. As the students heard the gunshots, they reportedly scampered for safety for fear of stray bullets.


In protest of the action of the police team, the students led by the Student Union Government President, Babatunde Badmus, demanded the dismissal of the trigger-happy policeman.

He added that it was dangerous for a policeman to shoot in densely-populated institutions like the University of Ibadan. They seized the identity card of the police man to prevent possible denial that the the person that pulled the trigger was not a policeman.


According to the student leader; “This man Ajisafe Amos must face the wrath of the law. The IGP should see to this case and ensure that the man is dismissed from the force.

” We will not allow anybody to play with our lives. We shall resist any attempt to sweep the case under the carpet. We want justice.”

It was the timely intervention of the Divisional Police Officer of Sango, Syblle Akinfenwa that prevented the policeman from being lynched.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Yvonne Nelson to Iyanya: "he needs to be more honest and be a man of his words"


“Yvonne Nelson, I like your medicine…”
We love the way her name rhymes, we love watching her act on our screens, we love to hear the interesting tales about her life and career. It won’t be too far-fetched to say that Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson is one of the most talked about celebrities in Nigeria.

Born in Accra, Ghana she participated in the Miss Ghana beauty pageant at the age of 19 which opened the doors to her acting career. The graduate of Human Resource Management from the Central University College, Ghana is also a movie producer and has starred in various movies including ‘Single & Married’, ‘Heart Of Men’ and ‘House Of Gold’.

Last year, her relationship with Nigerian music star Iyanya brewed a lot of media attention when it ended. Since then, both parties have refused to talk about it until when she gave BellaNaija an exclusive during her last visit to Lagos. At her hotel room at Raddison Blu, Victoria Island, Yvonne was a warm host as she opened up on her past relationship, her life, career and more.

Read excerpts of the BellaNaija interview By Adeola Adeyemo below:



Sometime last year, you were quite emotional on Twitter when you supposedly broke up with a Nigerian music star. That incident has been shrouded with lots of cover-ups. Could you tell me what really happened?
I think it’s time my fans get to know the whole truth so I’m going to let it all out. I dated one person here, he’s in the industry. There were too many lies in the relationship. I found out a whole lot of things and I just felt like he took advantage of me.

Why did you go on Twitter to express your emotions?
I’m human; I’m not like a robot or anything. I just wanted the whole world to know what I was going through and I just wanted them to know that I was done with the relationship.

Did you actually break up with him on Twitter?
I didn’t break up on Twitter. I just tweeted how I was feeling that very moment.

I had an interview with Iyanya shortly after that Twitter rant and his words were “She didn’t mention my name so I don’t know anything about it. I’ve never told anyone that I was dating anybody.” Aren’t we talking about the same person here?
He would say that because he was wrong. His team is also trying to protect his fan base and I don’t blame him for denying anything. It’s him and his career, that’s OK.

How long did the two of you date and how would you describe the relationship?
We dated for 7 to 8 months. We had something and I thought it was special, like he was a wonderful guy but it was all lies. He had other girls and other things he was doing. Aside the actress that was in the picture, there were a lot more. That is how bad it is. We were in a relationship and he lied throughout and he was able to do all those things because I wasn’t living in Nigeria. But aside from the distance, I feel if you’re a genuine person and you’re loyal, you would still not do that.


Is this actress you’re talking about actually Tonto Dikeh?
I feel it’s disrespectful to start mentioning other people’s names. I am talking about Iyanya because we had a thing, I don’t want to bring in a third person. There were a lot of names that people know. There was a girl from South Africa, I’m not going to mention names but she was part of Big Brother Africa last year.

Most people only got to know that you and Iyanya were dating after you broke up. Were you deliberately being secretive about it?
I also don’t believe in putting my relationships in the faces of people. We both had our careers and were trying to protect our fan base and that’s cool. But if you go through my Instagram page, you’d see a couple of pictures of us together. I wasn’t shy about anything but he could not say he’s dating Yvonne Nelson because he had different people he was seeing so it was very hard for him to bring it out.

What did the experience teach you?
There are some things that you don’t get to learn in school; people can’t advice you, you won’t even listen. You just have to experience it to learn. I have no regrets that I went through it, it would have happened anyway. We are all human beings. We fall in love once in a while but if it doesn’t work out, that’s OK.


Have you moved on since then?
I have! It happened last year but I’ve moved on. I’ve been working hard, been producing movies. I still listen to his music, I love his album. I love the Track 1 with MI and I love, ‘I Got It’. He is a very talented guy, I always have goose bumps on my body when he sings.

Aside from the music, what else was the attraction?
You can’t really explain when you love somebody. It’s everything. It was just something that I felt and I can’t explain. It was love, I really really loved him and he knows that.

How do you feel about him now and what message would you like to pass on to him if you had the chance?
Iyanya is such an amazing person but I just feel he needs to be more honest and be a man of his words. It’s not good if he takes advantage of women. My Mum always says any man who takes advantage of women won’t end up well. It’s Karma, it’s going to come back to you. He should treat women fairly and he should be an honest person. It’s been a while though, I haven’t seen him. He is doing amazing things in his career and I wish him luck.


Since then, there have been other reports and speculations of you in new relationships, the latest one being Dammy Krane. How true is this?
Honestly, I don’t know where these stories come from. If I take a picture with somebody or I do a Keek with the person, the next minute I’m dating the person. Come on, it’s not fair! I am very single, as a matter of fact, I have trust issues. I don’t trust men easily and I am not psychologically ready for any relationship now. The last one was so bad that I just want to chill.

You shared a cover on Complete Fashion magazine shortly after the break up where both of you spoke about love. Was this just a coincidence?

I did my shoot in Ghana and that was before I met Iyanya but my cover didn’t come out until the whole controversy thing. If you look at the pictures, I was a little bigger than this, slightly chubby.

Houston's Best Weekend Concerts: Industry Nite in Houston


Even with Houston's considerable African immigrant population, concerts by African artists remain rare outside iFest and the odd SPA event. That alone makes Saturday's show sponsored by Spinlet, a San Francisco-based company that offers digital distribution to emerging West African talent - mostly Nigerians here - worth checking out.


Heading up this tour is Tuface Idibia (better known as 2Face), a former member of the Plantashun Boyz who has become a popular hip-hop/R&B singer in his own right. Joining him is Ice Prince, who was recently called "Nigeria's hottest rapper" for his dancehall-ish style; D'Prince, younger brother of producer/songwriter/music-biz mogul Don Jazzy; and Seyi Shey, now on her own after a tenure in UK soul-pop group From Above.

Drogba convinces Chelsea star to leave Stamford Bridge


Nigerian Super Eagles Ace Midfielder John Obi Mikel is close to leaving Chelsea for Galatasaray after revealing Didier Drogba convinced him to join the Turkish champions, according to the Daily Mail.

Mikel and Drogba were teammates at Chelsea until the Ivorian international left Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2012.



And Mikel admitted he asked his old colleague for advice about moving to Galatasaray after it emerged that the club were interested in signing him.

"I'm very pleased with Galatasaray's offer," Mikel told Sabah, a Turkish newspaper.

"I asked Drogba for advice and he told me that Istanbul is a fantastic city, that Galatasaray is a huge club and that I have to make the move.
"I have played at Chelsea for a long time and it's now time for me to leave.
"I'm still only 26 and it's great to receive an offer from a club (Galatasaray) playing Champions League football and doing well in the competition."

Mikel was signed by Mourinho in 2006 after a long drawn out transfer saga involving Manchester United, but the 'Special One's' return doesn't look like preventing his exit.

Mikel continued: "Talks have reached an advanced level between Chelsea and Galatasaray. Chelsea won't make the move difficult and regarding my salary there won't be a problem.
"All that is left is for the clubs to reach an agreement."

Mikel has been an important part of the Chelsea first-team squad in recent seasons, but talk of a reshuffle under new boss Mourinho could pave the way for him to leave the club.

Mourinho has been linked with several big-money moves, and the Chelsea boss would be expected to at least recoup some money before spending Roman Abramovich's cash.


That could explain Mikel's potential departure, with Chelsea capable of replacing the Nigerian international with David Luiz in a deep lying midfield role or Frank Lampard or even the returning Oriol Romeu.

Lionel Messi given court date over tax fraud charges


Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has been summoned to court by a Spanish judge over tax fraud allegations.

Messi and his father were last week accused of defrauding the Spanish authorities of £3.4million and have now been summoned to face the charges on September 17.

The 25-year-old has claimed he is innocent of three separate accusations of using companies in Belize and Uruguay to trade on his image and defrauding the Spanish state of taxes from income relating to this.

“We have just known through the media about the claim filed by the Spanish tax authorities.

“We are surprised about those news, because we have never committed any infringement.

“We have always fulfilled all our tax obligations, following the advices of our Tax Consultants who will take care of clarifying this situation,” he said in a statement on his Facebook page.

Messi is widely regarded as the best footballer in the world and has won the FIFA Ballon d’Or Player of the Year award for the past four years.

His salary at Barcelona estimated to be €16million a year and he has a number of high-profile sponsorship deals, most notably with sportswear giant Adidas.


Messi could face up to six years in jail and a substantial fine if found guilty, according to the BBC.

WIZKID BLASTS BACK AT ARREST RUMOURS



Contrary to the news over the the internet yesterday that popular multiple award winning musician Ayo Balogun popularly known as Wizkid was arrested over an issue involving himself and students of University of Lagos (UNILAG) wherein he was allegedly named in an issue of having collected money for an event organized by the students of the institution and not showing up, the amiable star who is the C.E.O of Star Boy Records has cleared the air.


He went on social network twitter and tweeted from his official personal twitter handle that he does not collect such cheap fees as stated by the news floating around.


It is noteworthy that the patriotic youngster and his able manager Mr Godwin Tom truly answered an invitation by the Nigerian Police to clear his name but the over bloated scenario of being arrested is totally untrue.The issue of being arrested is somewhat blown out of proportion and his team would certainly make an official statement to clear his good name and keep clean his unblemished image/musical career.

It is also pertinent that members of the public be aware to verify whomever they deal with in relation to celebrated personalities from the entertainment industry and beyond. The public is advised to be clear before getting into any contractual agreement involving money on behalf of the named celebrity.


Wizkid's next album is expected to drop soon as the clamor for the talented musician to release another album is heating up...Jaiye Jaiye!!!
