Kcee has waded into the Ongoing drama between Malaysian-Based Nigerian Big Boy, Hushpuppi and Indigenous Rapper, phyno. In an Instagram Post, The Five star Music general penned an open letter to Hushpuppi, tagging the latter as someone with no credibility and no source of income. Kcee questioned his source of income, since he spends lavishly. Read Below; Dear Hushpuppi, We are musicians not paupers. Who exactly do you think you are to open your mouth and insult a musician that sweats day and night in the studio? You have no credibility, no known source of income and yet you come on social media to attack hard working Nigerian musicians with traceable wealth. Let’s face ...

Residents of the popular Games Village Estate in Abuja have cried out over the blocking of their estate by Lebanese community in Abuja over development of a disputed land within the estate. Secretary of the Games Village Residents Association, Jude Uze, confirmed the development to newsmen on Thursday. His words: “Lebanese community said they have approval from the authorities to build a church inside the estate and we said no.” “We don’t have Lebanese community in the estate, who are those that will be attending the church, we don’t know. “This morning they just came in and they brought in a container claiming that development control have given them the authority to start work. “They said they have been given the order that if they were not allowed access into the estate that they should block the access road to estate. That’s the container you are seeing, blocking the estate. “The fact that we can’t access our estate is a big affront. Can we do this in Lebanon? Can ...

Prof. Ango Abdullahi, OUR attention has been drawn to your statements in Vanguard of Saturday, June 10, 2017. You are alleged to be in support of the call on the Igbo to quit. It is unfortunate, grossly unfortunate, that a scholar of your calibre will be so partisan as to be unable to see the wisdom in retaining Nigeria as a corporate entity. I know you have, in the past, been anti-Igbo. One would have thought that our education exposes us to a level where we can live even with our enemies. You said in the alleged publication that, “each year up to the time Nigeria gained its independence, none of the two regions East and West was able to produce for its self. I mean none of the Western and Eastern Regions had the money to effectively run the affairs of the region until they got financial support from the Northern Region.” It is this assumption of yours that I want to address. First of all it is not true that the North had bailed out Eastern Region or the Western Region. But you ...

My associates and I come daily through several candidates’ CVs (we have a repository of 15000+ Nigerian CVs). Over the years, I have also read several -unfortunately- bad books on CV writing and a lot of outdated online advice. And while there is plenty of advise on what to write and the how-to, there is also good to know what to avoid in a CV… those CV mistakes known as ‘CV-Killers’. So, kindly allow me to offer some brief but absolute ‘no-no’- tips coming from experience. List of CV ‘No-No’s 1. Don’t put on top ‘Curriculum Vitae’ or ‘Resume’! Is there really a chance that someone will think that it is something different? Thus, assume that you are addressing intelligent people, please. 2. No unnecessary obvious words. So, don’t use words like “address, phone, email” in front of the actual information 3. Absolutely no unprofessional email address. Avoid using things like SexyGirl4uNow@gmail.com or Bestbeerdrinker67@yahoo.co.uk , or azonto-man2017@gmail.com, etc. 4. No ...

A South Africa’s Church has barred blacks from attending service as the church on Sunday disallowed two black journalists from entering. The Afrikaanse Protestante Kerk church in Orania, told the journalists “the church is only for whites”. Orania is an Afrikaans-only South African town located along the banks of the Orange River, in the arid Karoo region of the Northern Cape Province. The journalists were on an assignment and decided to attend a Sunday service before returning to Pretoria but they were intercepted by a church leader, identified as Mr. Theunis Oukamp, at the door. According to Africa Review, Oukamp said allowing black people into an all-white church would be violating the “rights of Afrikaans people”. “I am now in a difficult situation. You know that Orania, is only for white people, this is why we are here. “You must understand I know you want to serve God and everything but I have to protect the rights of Afrikaans people. So I cannot let you in, you g...
