I will never look for D’banj’s successor — Don Jazzy
Don Jazzy. Remember him? He worked with D’banj and they ran the Mo’Hits Records together. Suddenly, there was a rupture. In this interview, he captures life after Mo’Hits.
Did you envisage the break-up?
Obviously, I would not have seen it coming seven years ago when we started the company. But a year to the breakup, I saw it coming. We tried as much as possible to make it work. A lot of things happened even when we had shows like Koko Concert in Lagos, London and New York. We already had problems then but we still had to go for the shows and generally put up a front that all was well when in actual fact, it was not. It is not like it just happened; it took time because we knew that we had something very important to save.
What efforts did you make to ensure the partnership didn’t crumble?
Everybody tried to stop the break-up. If I did not want the company to move on, why did I travel from here to New York for a D’banj concert? It was a beautiful thing for Nigeria, Africa and us.
Are you still feeling hurt?

Pandemonium over threat to bomb Senate President’s home
Culled From Vanguard online
The home of the Senate President, David Mark and headquarters of Idoma land in Benue State was at the weekend plunged into deep fear following alleged text messages being circulated of plans to bomb the town by a militant Islamic sect.
The development forced security operatives to mount intensive security patrols around the town to forestall any security breach. Vanguard gathered that the Islamic sect last week sent text messages to security agents alerting them of plans to bomb the police station in the town, the Otukpo Main Market and St Mary’s Church, among others.
However, security agents in the area, not cowed by the threat went round the town with security vehicles including armoured personnel carriers, APCs in company of vigilante members, Okada riders and other well meaning members of the town to denounce the threat.

BREAKING NEWS!!!: 4 Crushed To Death In Ibadan
THE entire workers of Ibadan South-West Local Government Area of Oyo State were left mourning, on Friday, after a tipper truck crushed their colleague a few metres away from the office headquarters, located off Moshood Abiola Way, Ibadan.
The victim, identified simply as Banji, was said to have met his fate around 12.00 p.m. about two minutes after leaving the premises on his motorcycle, marked: OF 355 AAB, to attend to an unspecified business at Dugbe.
Witnesses said the victim had attempted to avoid two commercial motorcycles, which occupants were just getting up from the ground by the side of the road after an accident, only to be caught in front of the speeding lorry, with registration number: XB 495 AKN, which immediately ran him over.
By the time Saturday Tribune got to the scene, the body, which was said to have been mangled, had been evacuated to the General Hospital, Adeoyo mortuary.
Asked for details about the status of the victim in the local council, all one of his colleagues could volunteer was: “He was in “Property.”
At the scene of the accident, a crowd comprising Banji’s colleagues and other sympathisers fumed over the alleged escape of the driver of the lorry and confronted policemen who attempted to evacuate the vehicle to Iyaganku Police Station.
However, some people among the crowd claimed that the driver of the lorry decided to escape from the scene to avoid lynching and report himself to the police, but the information could not be substantiated as of the time of filing this report.
There was traffic jam while the confrontation between the council workers and the policemen lasted, with the lorry occupying a considerable space on the road.
A vehicle belonging to the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) carrying some officials was seen for a brief moment at the scene.
The local council staffers, who claimed they had misgivings about the plan of the policemen to take custody of the lorry, later took it to the council’s premises and “impounded” it.
At the council’s premises, some workers, especially the women, wailed, while others discussed the next line of action after they learned that the authorities of Adeoyo hospital refused to admit Banji’s body, demanding for police report.
People also gathered round trying frantically to pacify some relatives of Banji, who had rushed to the council to confirm the news of their kin’s death.
“We just cracked jokes together before he told me he was going to Dugbe. I can’t believe Banji is dead. This is too cruel,” one of the victim’s colleagues lamented.
Another said: “I was not comfortable with the hurried manner in which he tried to leave the premises. It was like I could feel an omen. I even tried to get him to calm down by taking the keys he was holding from him, but he took them back from me and left.”
Meanwhile, No fewer than four persons lost their lives in auto crashes in Ibadan, Oyo State on Friday.
Saturday Tribune learnt that two people while on motorcycle ran into a moving trailer and they were crushed to death in Musfala area, Muslim, in Oluyole Local government Area of the state.

The Federal Road Safety Corps Oluyole Unit Commander, Sanya Adeoye who confirmed the two incidents said though he could not confirm the number of those killed at Musfala, he said that motorcyclist was killed at Ring Road.
He said that the wreckages had been removed at the time officials of the FRSC got to the scene of the incidents.
Also, tragedy struck at Owode Estate area of Apata-Ganga, in Ido Local Government Area of the state when a 35-year-old man, identified as Fatai (a.k.a Happy Day), was crushed to death by a truck while rushing to meet his boss.

I SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE- 50 CENT
50 just had colon surgery, but that didn’t stop him from joining the plethora of celebs that are voicing their support for gay and lesbian marriage; including President Obama, who started a media frenzy when he said he openly supports marriage rights for the G&L community.
Check what Fiddy had to say:
“Technically, I don’t see where it fits into any religion. The Bible that they would read to marry you, it doesn’t have anything in it that says same-sex. If it does, then I would like someone to point out that interpretation.”
Adding, “I stand behind President Obama [and] support gay marriage. I’m an American citizen [and] I believe people should live their life the way they want.”
GAY IN ACTION: Man, 60,Arraigned for Raping 20-yr old Male School Leaver
A businessman, Alhaji Olusegun Adesina, 60, was yesterday arraigned at an Abeokuta Magistrate Court sitting in Isabo for allegedly raping a 20-year-old secondary school leaver (name withheld).
The accused was arraigned before Magistrate O.A. Ayobolu on a count of having unlawful sexual intercourse with the 20 year old on Tuesday at his private residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The Police Prosecutor, Paul Etusi, stated that Adesina allegedly lured the victim by promising to help him secure a job pending his admission into a tertiary institution.
Etusi, an assistant superintendent of police, argued that the Adesina inflicted physical injury on the 20 year old when he forcefully had sexual intercourse with him through the anus.
He stated that Adesina’s offence was punishable under Section 214 of Criminal Code Vol. 1, Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria 2006.
After the accused was arraigned, his counsel, B.H. Yusuf, however, appealed to the court to grant his client bail.
The prosecutor opposed the bail application and urged the magistrate to remand the accused in prison.
In her ruling, the magistrate granted Adesina bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties. The sureties, she added, must own landed property within the jurisdiction of the court and must have paid tax in the last three years.
