She was supposed to have a concert at Muson then at the Oceanview Expo Centre but that 'didn't' happen! Why am I not surprised? They had to refund the N100k+ per tkt tickets back to the guests. She did perform at someone's wife's birthday though - can't name names sorry.
R.I.P Bernie Mac - since I never did tribute him when I heard of his death. Died at age 51. I'll never forget his popular 'Def Jam' and stand-up comedy saying: 'I ain't scared o' you, m%^&^%$£"*^s.' [Bernie's Wiki]
R.I.P Isaac Hayes - Coincidentally, he and Bernie did a movie togther recently. He was a great soul musician. Died at age 65 [Isaac Hayes Wiki]
With the death of these two, I bet Samuel L. Jackson is scared ****less! I hear he's in the movie too.
Look out for my review on the 'Things Fall Apart' drama finale in pictures!

Featuring:
AREA BOYS (The movie)
About The Film:
"LOVE, HATE, TRUST, RESENTMENT, UNITY, FAITHFULNESS, HUMILITY, SACRIFICE... WHAT IS THE TRUE VALUE OF FRIENDSHIP? Having grown up in a world where corruption and greed over-ride all else, life-long friends Bode and Obi decide to repent from their way of life when they encounter a near death experience following a botched scam. They cut their ties with megalomaniacal boss (Dele) and his domineering girlfriend (who has a soft spot for Bode) and form their own partnership with a view of leaving their corrupt world for good. Life as a 'good' citizen proves a difficult experience for the guys and they plan to do one more job, behind Dele's back, to raise the funds that would ease them into a lifestyle of Godliness. But their plans fall apart before it's began when against their better judgement, they work a scam on Dele's turf, the scam back-fires, and he finds out about it. The friends are then faced with a life or death situation as they search for an escape route whilst hiding from the clutches of Dele's henchmen. And as the sun fades on the bustling city of Lagos, Bode and Obi are put to test about the true value of their friendship with the ultimate question: How far would you go to save the life of your friend...? Set in the inner city of Lagos, AREA BOYS is a fast-paced coming of age drama about the loss of innocence, the advent of hope and the true value of friendship." ***Click herefor link to the movie and trailer***

Something Else We Missed
Summit in New York - 24th September: Nigeria Meets The World - click to see website
It is now closed but you can still go to the website to view the delegates, topics and even access the online forum.
......and speaking of which.....(Naija and Yar'Adua), here is an interesting video titled - YOU KNOW, THAT SITUATION IN NIGERIA SEEMS PRETTY COMPLEX!
A lot of fake gist and shelling and blunders lol, they were just chatting.
Disclaimer:Nigeria's population is not 14 million get your facts right mister!......and our national language is not French - we wish
After not having blogged in 6 years, even I myself am shocked and nervous about this....but hey you do as you are told. I have been led to start blogging again (on this page, strangely enough rather than on a separate 'ministry' type blog so here goes). The truth is once a blogger, always a blogger. Cheers to new directions!
