HOW DAVIDO & HIS DRIVER BROKE MC GALAXY'S HEAD WITH A BOTTLE.

Many terrible things happen in the Music Industry that are kept out of reach of the media.  Sekem crooner MC Galaxy was attacked and badly injured on Wednesday night April 15th at producer Shizzi's studio in Lekki. LIB reported that according to a reliable industry source, MC Galaxy, Davido (they have collaborated before) B-Red, Shizzi, Davido's driver, a guy named Lati and other HKN members were at Shizzi's studio working and laughing when suddenly things turned ugly.

According to someone who witnessed the beat down, trouble started after MC Galaxy told B-Red that he (Galaxy) was more popular than him (B-Red). B-Red didn't agree and they went back and forth. Then an HKN Gang member, who is a Ghanaian artist, told MC Galaxy that he was not funny as a comedian. MC Galaxy replied, telling him that he was an unknown artist, and they went back and forth yabbing each other. They said all of a sudden Davido came out from the studio and asked MC Galaxy to leave. 

(PICTURES) THE SHAME OF A NATION - SOUTH AFRICANS KEEP STEALING FROM STORES OWNED BY FOREIGNERS.

Despite the media outrage targeted at South Africa's Xenophobic attacks, the shameful act has not stopped. This is extremely disheartening considering the fact that many African countries rallied around the nation during the Apartheid period. This tragic payback will be regretted sooner or later.

HOW EX-PRESIDENT OBASANJO DESTROYED PDP. (@PDPNIGERIA, @APCNIGERIA)

Former President Obasanjo, as we can see, used the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to rule Nigeria for eight years. As soon as he assumed office in 1999, he made up his mind to reduce Nigeria to a one-party state, his pet party system which he canvassed vigorously while Nigeria conducted its transition to civil rule programmes. 

The first part of this serial chronicled how he shrivelled the opposition parties and made the PDP into a colossus that dominated the political landscape. Eventually, most leading lights in the opposition parties decamped to the PDP.

By 2007 when Obasanjo was constitutionally forced out of power, PDP was at the zenith of its power and glory. It had 26 out of the 36 governors, 260 out of the 369 members of the House of Representatives, 85 out of the 109 senators and an emphatic command of the majority in the state legislatures and the 774 local councils. It was at this point that the party started priding itself as “the largest party in in Africa”, and some of its chieftains boasted that the PDP would rule Nigeria for “sixty years”.

NIGERIA'S 2015 HISTORIC PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND THE TASKS AHEAD.

Nigeria’s 28th March, 2015, Presidential election was, perhaps, one of the most bitterly fought in the annals of the country’s electoral history. The election occurred after a controversial six-week postponement following insistence by security agencies that it should be pushed forward for them to accelerate the battle against the insurgency in the North East.

It was possibly the most divisive election, drawing Nigerians into a devious web of mudslinging as well as ethnic and religious chauvinism. Eventually the election turned out to be largely a referendum on key national issues pertaining to the state of the country’s economy and security. This historic election was fought-and-won by Nigerians who appeared to have crucially determined to assert their position as the real employers of those in power, and on whose behalf and on whose benefits power should only be exercised.

READ HOW AMBODE WON IN LAGOS.

The gubernatorial election in Lagos was unarguably the toughest governorship poll ever held in the state since the return to democratic rule and proved the sagacity and strength of the political leader of the state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Indications that the 2015 governorship election would be tough emerged early. It became very obvious after the March 28 Presidential and National Assembly elections where the PDP gained a lot of electoral mileage in the state.

Though General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), the presidential candidate of the APC won in Lagos, his margin of victory was not very significant.

CHIBOK GIRLS STILL IN CAPTIVITY AFTER OVER 365 DAYS.

It is now one year since Islamist terrorists of the Boko Haram sect stormed the premises of the Government Secondary School in the serene town of Chibok in Borno State and made away, unchallenged, with close to 300 schoolgirls. The girls, who were preparing for their final examinations when that cruel fate befell them, have remained in captivity ever since, with any hope of their eventually breathing the air of freedom ebbing away by the day. Their fate since that forced journey into the unknown has become a matter of conjecture.

When the news of the incident of that fateful night – April 14, 2014 – broke the following day, there were many who probably reasoned that, with a responsible and responsive government in place, the girls would soon be reunited with their loved ones. Even the girls must have harboured in the inner recesses of their minds the thought that their rescue would come as a matter of course. The escape of 57 of their colleagues, who took advantage of a breakdown of the truck that was conveying them to mount a successful bid for freedom, could only serve to strengthen that thought.

NIGERIAN OAP ADAEZE RAPED IN GHANA. #SAYNOTORAPE.
