Did you hear what the Bauchi State Governor said?

Isa Yuguda

In an interview with journalists (Punch, Next Newspaper) after casting his vote in Thursday's rescheduled elections in Bauchi state, Bauchi State governor, Isa Yuguda had this to say about the Corps Members that were killed in his state,

"As far as I am concerned, these corps members were destined to experience what they experienced during the course of their service to their fatherland because every new day is a new experience to each and every one of us as human beings. You cannot hold Yuguda or Bauchi State (responsible) for what happened to those corps members, because it was the responsibility of INEC to take care of them."

What a mindless statement to make.

$1000 is what MNET pays on the average for the films we see on African Magic?

That's according to a reliable industry source. $1000 is like N150grand. Is this remotely true? If so, is that how cheap our movie industry is?

"I am very strong and I still have sex with women" - 84 year old Fatai Rolling Dollar

The veteran musician has sixteen children, the youngest, a two months old.
"At 84 years old, I am still sexually active and I am still having kids at my age. I don't have the feelings of an old man. I am still very strong when it comes to making babies. I still want to marry more wives and make more babies."

I think they should arrest any young woman who sleeps with any man above eighty years old. You wan kill am...? There should be a name for such women...oldmanphile or something...lol

"Fela is not on broadway" - Foly Asiko

Folly Asiko

"After a very long silence, I have decided to react to the sudden and extensive commercialization of the image of my hero - Fela by writing a song to express my feelings." - Musician Foly Asiko

In the song, Asiko takes aim, particularly, at what he sees as the capitalistic exploitation of Fela's image on Broadway where the show Fela has distorted and simplified the hard work and ideology of Abami Eda. Foly explains that the Fela being presented on Broadway is not the Fela he knew and grew up with. The Fela on Broadway is not the image or representation of the fearless leader he so much admired, and learned a lot from.

According to him, his song takes listeners from the daily comfort of illusion back to the real world of Afrobeat, where truth is the code of existence and honesty is the modus operandi.

The party has proof that money was given to people by the ACN during the polls. We will present the evidence in court.

Anslem Nwazema, another Youth Corps Member who was butchered

Anslem Nwazema working during the election. He was killed the next day

These corpers didn't agree to do this because they were being paid millions. They did it because they wanted to serve their country...and this is how we pay them back? By killing them the way an animal shouldn't even be killed?

My younger sis did her youth service in Bauchi in 2008. Was just thinking, if she had been serving in '11 instead of '08, that could easily have been her. These corpers can't die in vain. I heard another one was killed in Akwa Ibom State yesterday. Youth groups, please do something. There should be some sort of peaceful demonstration to INEC and NYSC office and I want to be first in line...
