Labour Party Renounces EX-Oyo Gov. Alao Akala
Labour Party (LP) has renounced former Oyo State Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, Great Ogboru, and Tonye Princewill.
The party
stated reasons that they are not the governorship candidates
representing Oyo, Delta and Rivers states and are yet to field any
candidate for next year’s general elections, thereby warning those
parading themselves as the party’s flagbearer to stop.
The
National Caretaker Committee put in place by the organised labour – the
Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) – said
at a news conference at the NLC secretariat in Abuja that the three men
were not known as the party’s members. The LP is fictionalised with
organised labour, which claimed to have registered the party, setting up
a committee to conduct fresh elections after dissociating itself from
the national convention held in Akure.
The
committee’s chairman, Salisu Muhammed, said the party’s former national
chairman, Dan Nwanyanwu and his ex-scribe were only using the three men
to enrich themselves. Mohammed said those claiming to have purchased
nomination forms did that fraudulently and therefore, could not
represent the party.
He said:
“Of recent, the media has been awashed with purported entry of
Alao-Akala into our party to contest for governorship election in Oyo
State. “He is said to have been given ticket by Salam and Mr. Dan
Nwanyanwu – former National Secretary and National Chairman. “This
situation also goes to Chief Princewill Tonye of Rivers State, Chief
Great Ogboru of Delta State, as well as some followers of Governor
Elechi of Ebonyi State.
They are
now the latest victims of political buccaneers. In one word, we honestly
counsel you all: don’t jump from frying pan to fire.” Mohammed said the
party was taking legal action against Nwanyanwu to retrieve its
Certificate of Registration and other party’s property that were still
in his possession. He said Nwanyanwu was earlier given a three-day
demand notice on the issue, which had since elapsed, lamenting that he
had chosen the path of dishonour.

I Do Wear Engagement Ring In Order To Scare Men Away From Me – Actress Ronke Odusanya [Flakky Ididowo]
Top
Actress, Ronke Odusanya aka Flakky Ididowo has debunked allegations
of snatching another woman’s husband. The Ogun State-born actress, who
was once romantically linked with Fuji musician, Pasuma, has come out to
say there is no truth whatsoever in the reports that she is now married
to a US-based man, Femi Anibaba.
It would
be recalled that a couple of months back, a woman known as Folape Sokoya
cried out that Flakky, as the actress is also known, is romancing her
husband of 12 years and had destroyed her home by leading her husband
into abandoning their home and 3 children.
However,
in a recent interview with City People Magazine, the busty actress
debunked rumours that she snatched another woman’s husband. ‘I am not
married, neither am I engaged to anyone, as you can see, I am still very
much single. I hope to get someone I will get married to. I am a friend
to some guy whose wife has left 2 years ago but unfortunately she went
on the papers to say that I have snatched her husband.
I really
don’t know why and I don’t want to talk about it,’ she said. Speaking
further on the likely source of the rumours by saying: ‘I wore a ring to
an event and unfortunately a lady asked me: ‘are you engaged’ and I
responded ‘yes,’ she asked further: ‘who?’ and I replied her to whoever
and she went right to the papers to say that I am engaged and set to
marry soon.
I
don’t know where she got that from. I do wear the ring in order to
scare men away from me. I just wanted to be free but they won’t let you
be but I thought that once they see the ring, they will keep their eyes
off me.’…
Meet Actress Hyde Peace, A Middlesex University 1st Class Graduate With The Biggest Butt In Africa [Photos]
Peace Hyde
is a much-needed breath of fresh air in the entertainment scene in
Africa. It is very easy to begin the profile of a new actress/ presenter
by drawing comparisons to already established ones in the media. We
opted against doing that today.
Peace Hyde
was born August 9th 1985 in London, United Kingdom. Growing up with
Ghanaian parents meant that Peace had the unique opportunity to
experience the best of both cultures.
After
graduating from Middlesex University with a 1st class honors in
Psychology, she pursued her love for people and education by achieving a
distinction level qualification as a teacher educating pre university
students, developing her craft as a teacher Peace specialized in in the
subject areas of Chemistry and Biology.
“I have
always been passionate about education. I believe it enriches people’s
understanding of themselves. It is not only limited to lessons from
textbooks, real education is obtained by the lessons taught by life.”
After
successfully educating young minds for 6 years during which she rose to
the level of senior management, Peace Hyde finally decided to pursue two
lifelong dreams, relocating to Africa and reconnecting with her
childhood dream of acting.
“I am
incredibly blessed to be given the opportunity to now embark on a new
journey in my life. I am thankful to God for the gift of life and the
possibility to make my wildest dreams come true.” She says.
It is very
clear that this new face is definitely more than just a pretty face.
Her unflinching determination to succeed coupled with her intelligence
makes her a force to be reckoned with.
In just a
few months, the talented, classy and sophisticated actress is making
waves across the continent in both Nigeria and Ghana and we know the sky
is definitely just the limit for this amazing talent.

Top Ten Best Footballing Partnerships In Football
Which are the best Footballing Partnerships In Football? Have you ever Wondered who were the best Footballing Partnerships in Football? Football is no doubt a team game, However, there are some players that stand out above the rest, But when one star player develops an understanding with another star player, the opposition then has some work to do. over the years there has been some unstoppable duos in the World of Football, so many in fact we had to pick the best of the best.
List Best Footballing Partnerships In Football
So we collected the sets of players from the most recent two decades who connected up splendidly and had a very nearly clairvoyant understanding between, and put them in our top ten list of Best Footballing Partnerships In Football
10. Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge
The SAS dynamic duo would have been much
higher in this list. However, had they played together for a period any
longer than one and a half seasons, before Suarez decided to move to Barcelona this late spring. they surely would be a massive threat in the Premier League right now.
The strikers did however, threatened Premier League
defences with their splendid connection up front and Liverpool’s
second-place standing last season was generally ascribed to the 52
goals scored by the couple (31 by Suarez and 21 by Sturridge).
9. Andy Cole and Peter Beardsley
In spite of their impressive scoring run last season, Suarez and Sturridge
were not able to beat the record for the most number of goals scored by
a strike duo in an EPL season. Also this record still stays with Cole and Beardsley for Newcastle United in the 1993-94 season with 55 goals between them (34 by Cole and 21 by Beardsley). The two worked with one another very well, Especially with Beardsley‘s imaginative ball skills connecting admirably with Cole‘s clinical finishing ability. The two dominated in the season of 1994-95
8. Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton
The first and original SAS, Shearer and Sutton built a solid strike organization at Blackburn Rovers in the 1994-95 season which won the Premier League title for the club. The late spring of 1994 saw a youthful Sutton joining Rovers from Norwich for a record £5 million. This choice by administrator Kenny Dalglish paid rich profits as the SAS pair scored 49 goals (34 by Shearer, 15 by Sutton) between them to seal Rovers‘ first association title since 1914
7. Mateja Kezman and Arjen Robben
This dynamic duo was nicknamed “Batman and Robben” as Arjen Robben created the most of the 81 goals that Kezman scored over the three seasons while at PSV. Their outstanding performances meant that big-money moguls Chelsea came knocking at the door, with the hopes that the duo would recreate the same magic in EPL as well.
6. Raul and Fernando Morientes
These two boys scored an astonishing 277 goals between them while at Real Madrid, all in inbetween 1997 and 2003, during which the club won three Champions League titles and two La Liga titles. The duo played up front for the Spain International Squad in the 2002 World Cup Competition and impressed everyone with their amazing performances before the side was knocked out by the hosts South Korea.
5. Michael Laudrup and Hristo Stoichkov
Laudrup’s dribbling
skills and amazing goal-scoring chances led to the well known phrase
“Made in Laudrup” being coined, and Stoichkov developed a brilliant
understanding with Michael Laudrup and was very good at getting onto the end of chances that Laudrup created and finishing nicely with a goal.
4. Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp
The deadly duo of Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry played together for over six years and scored over a massive 200 goals between them as Arsenal went onto win two Premier League titles, not to mention the famous unbeaten Invincibles run in 2003-04.
3. Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres
These two became a force in the season in which Liverpool finished second in the Premier league, and enjoyed an impressive run in the Champions League. With then Boss Rafa Benitez adapting a 4-2-3-1 formation, Steven Gerrard played in the CAM position right behind Torres, The deadly duo could read each other like a book becoming a dominate force in the league.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney
With Sir Alex Ferguson giving these two free reign, the deadly duo took the premier league by storm, The 07-08 Premier League season saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney score 60 goals across all competitions between them, with Ronaldo scoring a staggering 42 goals.
1. Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta
The large amount of trophies that Barcelona won in the last decade can easily be thanks to Xavi and Iniesta, their ability to control the games from the midfield, and with their co-ordination with each other, the two by far will go down as the deadliest duo in world football.
Fuji House of Commotion Star, Sola Onayiga Joins Politics, To Contest Lagos Assembly Under SDP
As the 2015 elections inch close, another entertainer, Sola Onayiga, aka
Ireti in the popular Fuji House of Commotion sitcom, has joined other
entertainers who are aspiring for political offices.
A source told us that the actress, who is seeking to represent Ikorodu 1
Constituency in the Lagos State House of Assembly, submitted her INEC
nomination last Friday, and will be running under the Social Democratic
Party (SDP).
Onayiga was said to have submitted the form personally to the chairman of SDP, Lagos State chapter, Engineer Rufus Osula.
Popular for her character as ‘show off cook’ in the now rested drama,
the thespian is also noted forCheckmate, another rested soap by the
producer of Fuji House of Commotion, the late Amaka Igwe and as Madam
Philo in BBC’s Story, Story - Voices From The Market Place.
Speaking to The Nation on telephone, Onayiga said, “I can’t say because I
am not a politician, then things should be left undone. We need people
to come out. If you are interested in correcting wrongs, you just have
to come out. I want to contribute my little quota.”
According to the thespian, there is need for government to take
entertainers more seriously by putting enough funds in the sector. “They
see entertainers as unserious set of people. Government is not putting
money into the arts in this country, all they do is invite us for their
programmes to come and dance,” she said.
She noted that although it will be her first time in politics, she has
affected her society positively, and will do better as a public office
holder. “I have done alot for the youths in Ikorodu. I have also been
resourceful to the women folks; I encourage women, especially widows on
how best to move on with their lives.
On why it took her long to seek an elective post, she said, “I had to take my time to study the grounds very well.”
Onayiga said she chose the SDP platform because it is the late M.K.O
Abiola’s party, and that she considered it the best way to launch her
political ambition.How Obasanjo, Tinubu, Fashola Influenced Actor Desmond Elliot Emergence To Win Lagos Assembly Seat
The
emergence of Nollywood star, Desmond Elliot as All Progressives
Congress (APC) candidate for the coming 2015 state assembly election
where he’ll be representing his people of Surulere Constituency, Lagos
if he wins, unknown to many, involved a heated disagreement among the
stakeholders before the day the primaries were held.
The
power-play that engulfed the air was a big one and it took decisions at
the highest level before the popular actor got the nod of the leadership
of the party for him to be able to unseat the perceived ally of
Governor Babatunde Fashola who held the seat till date.
According
to information at our disposal, the trio of Governor Babatunde Fashola,
APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former president,
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who incidentally is on sabbatical from PDP
influenced the decision to vote in the actor.
A close
source to Asiwaju disclosed that, the seat which is held by Hon. Kabiru
Lawal, a very close ally of Governor Fashola would have remained if not
for the power play by the leadership. We gathered that the actor had
informed Governor Fashola of his intention to vie for the post but he
only told him to continue working without any concrete assurance. He
then took advantage of his relationship with former President Chief
Obasanjo whom he informed of his ambition at the Hilltop house in
Abeokuta.
It was at
this instance that ‘Baba’ who has already been romancing APC for long
directly called Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to appeal to Governor Fashola to
give the slot to him by allowing the actor to win. This was how Governor
Fashola had a lengthy discussion with Asiwaju since the slot initially
belonged to the governor.
At
the end, it was agreed that, a political position would be given to
Kabiru Lawal while Desmond was voted in by delegates in the area.

“I’M NOT READY FOR MARRIAGE” – TIMAYA
Reggae dance singer, eberi papa1 of Bayelsa Timaya has opened up in a recent interview stating he’s not ready for a woman yet.
The 37 year old singer who said he would not be getting married to his baby mama anytime soon said the reason why he’s not interested in marriage is because he’s not ready to sacrifice for a woman.
“I am not yet ready to get married and anyone who is looking for that is only being deceived because I am too young to get married. Marriage is not all about money and nobody knows what I have in the bank because they are not my accountant. Musicians lie a lot, so don’t believe most of what they tell you. They are only trying to ‘package’ themselves. I am not prepared for marriage because I am not yet ready to sacrifice for any woman, I am sorry. My daughter is my life and I love her so much but marriage is not on my mind. I don’t want a situation whereby I will tell a woman I want to travel somewhere and she would be complaining.”
