'Why I'm close to D'banj and not Don Jazzy' - Rapper, Ikechukwu

Image
"I have heard a lot about my relationship with D'banj. Some people call me his houseboy, bouncer, and the rest, but let me say this, I have been close to D'banj since day one. The first time I saw him was at Obi Asika's house, when he was about signing to Storm Records...and if you're observant, you would have discovered that we have similar features; he's lepa just like me and we have same swagger. So we've created some kind of bond right from time which I was not opportuned to share with Don Jazzy. I only find people that find me, simple! Those that I am important to are those that are important to me. I am just chilling with D'banj and now that he's making a stand abroad, it's going to be stupid of me not to utilize the situation he already has. So, we are not just friends, we are also doing business" - The rapper tells Encomium magazine in an exclusive interview

Aerial view images of flooding around River Niger in Lokoja

The images were released by the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, and shows the extent of the flooding in the city caused by the overflowing River Niger, which is virtually cutting off the Northern part of the country from the South. A lot of small villages in Lokoja and Kogi will soon be wiped out if nothing is done soon. The flooding has left many dead, thousands homeless, and movement from one place to the other impossible.  The flooding started about two weeks ago after Cameroon released water from the Lagdo Dam.  The minister of works said that the level of water seen in the past two weeks has not been seen in the last 100 years.  The federal government has contracted three major construction companies to free the submerged Lokoja-Abuja highway from flooding...and NEMA is currently camping thousands of displaced flood victims.

Shield The Body From Cancer With Walnut

Image
Walnut is a hard fruit that nourishes the body. There are three main types of walnuts; the English walnut, also known as the Persian walnut, the Black walnut and the White or butternut walnut. It is loaded with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that protect the heart against all forms of heartache. This wonderful nut can also shield the body from cancerous and diabetes attacks when consumed daily. To get the best of this edible nut, try processing it as oil just like the groundnut oil. When walnut oil is mixed with vinegar, it can be used as salad dressings. Walnut can be cooked or fried and eaten as snacks. Health benefits of walnut According to healthdiaries.com, walnuts lower blood pressure due to the high omega-3 fatty acid present in the nut, especially when cooked with the shell. This fatty acid also reduces the cholesterol in the body when consumed daily. Research indicated that few walnuts per day significantly reduced the risk of prostate and breast canc...

Healthy Argument Boosts Relationships

Image
Many would say that arguing in a relationship is bad, but it also helps you to know your partner better. Blessing Ukemena writes. In any close-knit relationship, arguing, fussing and fighting are pretty natural… almost a given. When two people are closely linked, or intimately connected, arguing is a form of communication that simply comes with the territory. Whether or not you master this communication, however, is what determines if your relationship is meant to last forever…or for right now. If you care enough about your partner and want a long-term relationship, arguments shouldn’t be anything to fear or worry about – unless those arguments become abusive. In fact, some arguments can serve as healthy barometers to test the strength of your relationship. Just like what Janet, an IT professional within the FCT told LEADERSHIP Sunday. “I don’t feel right if my man and I last one month without an argument. It brings out the sweetness in the relationship. It’s after then that ...

Image

Reggae Music Is Revolutionary

Image
Since time immemorial, there have been complaints that people go into reggae because it is an avenue for one to champion his cause, but the truth is that reggae musicians have not been up in their game in Nigeria. Anthony Ada Abraham sought the views of some people about the fast decline. Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, the term reggae, more properly denotes a particular music style that originated following on the development of ska and rocksteady. Reggae is most easily recognized by the rhythmic accents on the off-beat, usually played by guitar or piano (or both), known as the skank. This pattern accents the second and fourth beat in each bar (or the “and”s of each beat depending on how the music is counted) and combines with the drums emphasis on beat  to create a unique feel and sense of phrasing in contrast to most other popular genres focus on beat o...

Image
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, on Tuesday, described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as “a very bad economist.” He added that he was surprised that the former President could oppose the proposed N5,000 note given that the high currency denominations in the country, including N1000 note, came into being during his (Obasanjo) regime.  Sanusi, while speaking at the sixth annual conference of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria in Abuja, said Obasanjo misinterpreted the impact of the proposed N5000 note on the economy when he argued that it would cause inflation. “This is an interesting country because my uncle or my father, who is our former Head of State, Gen. Obasanjo, you know he is a very successful farmer, but he is a very bad economist. He stand up and says that this higher denomination (N5000 note) will cause inflation and improve hardship,” Sanusi told the conference participants. Obasanjo had at a roundtable advocac...
