Controversial singer cum columninst Etcetera is back this week with this new write-up. I am sure this article will get on a lot of nerves..hahaha! Read below;

And all liars shall go to hell – Rev 21:8.
Again, I’m going to go out on a limb here to talk on a subject that may not be very popular or nice to Nigerian celebs, especially the guilty ones. I have said it severally that just because someone is a celebrity doesn’t mean they are smart. They may have a talent or skill but many of them are not smart especially when it involves their finances. The old saying, “your lies will come back to haunt you” has never been more true than the recent cases of D’banj, Iyanya and Wizkid who are being kicked out of their homes after lying they owned the properties. The residents of blogosphere boulevard were stunned when the news broke that D’banj got an eviction notice from his landlord and was also said to be highly indebted.

Award winning Lupita N’yongo’s $150,000 oscar outfit that was stolen this week has been recovered, Los Angeles police have said. It was found in a trashbag in a bathroom of the same Hollywood hotel where it was taken.

The ongoing war between former president Olusegun Obasanjo and President Goodluck Jonathan took a remarkable turn yesterday during the 90th birthday celebration of ex-leader Shehu Shagari in Sokoto, as Obasanjo avoided the president.

It was reported that Obasanjo arrived when President Goodluck Jonathan was inside Shehu Shagari’s house but refused to come out of his vehicle until Goodluck Jonathan had finished and left.
Those present could not stop laughing as the former president was repeatedly poking his tongue at them from inside his vehicle.

A nine-year-old girl has done the unexpected to the All Progressives Congress.

Nicole Benson, who is said to be a student of Greensprings School, Lekki campus, has donated her lunch money and more to the All Progressives Congress (APC). She also wrote an engaging, heartfelt letter to the opposition party. Below is Nicole’s letter, which was addressed to Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola, and the APC.

We earlier brought you the news that The Nigerian Army had flushed out members of the terrorists group, Boko Haram from Gulak, in the Madagali local government area of Adamawa state and still basking in the euphoria of this, residents are doing the unexpected.
Recent reports reveal that the residents of Gulak town, burst into wild celebration in Yola on Friday, February 27, after they were informed that their homeland had been freed from the control of Boko Haram, which captured the town last year.

 
There was pandemonium in the Ajegunle area of Lagos State on Wednesday afternoon when a motorcycle passenger suddenly ran mad and started stripping himself in public.
According to Leadership report, the passenger had boarded the motorcycle at Boundary market, Ajegunle, enroute Ojo road.
On the way, he suddenly started shouting and ordered the rider of the commercial motorcycle to stop.
When the rider stopped at Babani street junction, along Bale road, the passenger got down and started screaming, “my head! my head!!”
An eyewitness simply identified as Tajudeen said: “Before anybody could bring cold water to sprinkle on his head, he began to remove his clothes very fast and also pulled off his pant. He started to run and we had to give him a hot chase so that he would not enter the market. We managed to apprehend him and he even bit one man called Andrew in the hand. He was just saying, ‘’leave me, I want to die now’’. Later, he began to say things that were not reasonable.”
Tajudeen said the people in the area were going to attack the rider of the motorcycle but stopped when he explained what happened. He told them the man was all right when he boarded the motorcycle and all of a sudden started to exhibit madness.

Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has urged Nigerian women to reject the All Progressives Congress (APC) in next month’s general elections, saying the opposition party will take the country back to analog days.
Popularly called ‘Mama Peace’ by her admirers, Mrs Jonathan, told  women at Orerokpe, Okple local government area of Delta state that any woman who votes for the APC is an enemy of herself.

Vanguard reports that the First Lady, who was speaking at the PDP Women for Change Initiative Presidential Rally in the state, praised the benevolence of the PDP administration to women in the country, citing the Youth Enterprise With Innovation in Nigeria (YouWin) and Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P), as some of the empowerment programmes that the Goodluck Jonathan administration was using to empower women and youths in the country.
She said: “The PDP is a party that talks less and does more, unlike the APC that tells new lies every week. When you catch them today, they will tell another lie tomorrow. We (PDP) do not tell you about change because we are not bus conductors that ask for change.

Editor’s note: The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) addresses the Royal Institute of International Affairs today, February 26, at Chatham House in London. His speech was titled: Prospects for Democratic Consolidation in Africa: Nigeria’s Transition.
Speech highlights:

• Nigeria is now battling with many challenges
• The growth of democracy on the continent
• Nigerians and the whole world are intensely focused on this year’s elections
• Boko Haram has sadly put Nigeria on the terrorism map
• Nigeria will return to its stabilising role in West Africa
• On corruption, there will be no confusion as to where I stand
• The work of making Nigeria great is not yet done

Buhari speaks at Chatham House, London on February 26, 2015.

(APC Press Releases) – Permit me to start by thanking Chatham House for the invitation to talk about this important topic at this crucial time. When speaking about Nigeria overseas, I normally prefer to be my country’s public relations and marketing officer, extolling her virtues and hoping to attract investments and tourists. But as we all know, Nigeria is now battling with many challenges, and if I refer to them, I do so only to impress on our friends in the United Kingdom that we are quite aware of our shortcomings and are doing our best to address them.
The 2015 general election in Nigeria is generating a lot of interests within and outside the country. This is understandable. Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country and largest economy, is at a defining moment, a moment that has great implications beyond the democratic project and beyond the borders of my dear country.
So let me say upfront that the global interest in Nigeria’s landmark election is not misplaced at all and indeed should be commended; for this is an election that has serious import for the world. I urge the international community to continue to focus on Nigeria at this very critical moment. Given increasing global linkages, it is in our collective interests that the postponed elections should hold on the rescheduled dates; that they should be free and fair; that their outcomes should be respected by all parties; and that any form of extension, under whichever guise, is unconstitutional and will not be tolerated.

However the former military head of state noted that change will not happen immediately, as Nigeria’s problems did not start overnight.

 
It’s the second time President Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari are going head to head, and this time the rivalry between them is fiercer than ever.
Both have them have gone round the country to canvas votes and convince the Nigerian people that they’re the best man for the job. They’ve each made promises and taken shots at each other. Now the president has said he’s better than Buhari and everyone else who will be on the ballot.
“I haven’t seen anybody among the 14 presidential candidates that can run the country better than me,” he said last week. “If I’m bad, give Nigerians a better alternative. Get a better material that you don’t need to intimidate people or tell lies to market.”

Jonathan admits there could be Nigerians more competent and qualified than him to run for president, but he thinks the opposition parties haven’t picked candidates with the right credentials.

Yes, P-Square have finally released the long-awaited video to arguably the biggest song off their recent album, Collabo. Nothing short of an archetypical P-Square video, the flick which also features Don Jazzy, is a classy pictorial with a brief comic storyline about it. Shot in SA on different beautiful and crisp scenes, the Clarence Peters-directed video is nothing but top notch.
