Terry G attacked on stage while performing in Makurdi. Omg

At the Benue fiesta, which attracted hundreds of youth, including men and women was organized by the member representing Guma/Makurdi federal constituency, Barrister Emmanuel Jime, who is known to be nursing gubernatorial ambition in 2015.

The venue of the event was jam-packed as all fun seekers in the agrarian state attended to unwind.

Prominent Nigerian artistes including J. Martins, I Go Dye, Ice Prince and Pastor Nicodemus Mbatsavtampu performed at the event and it was such a lively occasion before it was rudely interrupted. Trouble started as Terry G was on stage performing when some youth suspected to be hoodlums began to throw sachet water on the musician and later broke bottles and charged towards him, while making loud noise. There was confusion as people ran helter skelter for their lives.

Terry G hails from that state.too. What then was the beef for?

Baba Fryo speaks about his absence from the music scene.

Friday Igweh, aka Baba Fryo, struggled for about five years to find his feet on the music scene. Fortunately he got the much desired break in 1996 when his debut album titled, Denge Pose, hit the scene with a loud bang.

At the time, it was reported that the album sold over a million copies nationwide.
After Denge Pose he released two other albums, including Notice Me.

But a few years later, the ghetto singer, who once described his kind of music as Afro Reggae Beat, suddenly faded off the scene.

Baba Fryo looked different without the trade-mark star patch on one eye. He had started nursing a pot belly, evidence that he was no longer performing regularly on stage.

The ghetto singer admitted that he had been off the music scene for a while. “I haven’t recorded an album in the last four years. But then, it is not as if I have left music entirely. I just want to cool off and re-organise myself. I will come back to music very soon and revive my career,” he told a punch correspondent.

He said piracy was one of the factors that frustrated him out of music.

“You probably have heard that I made a lot of money from my first album, Denge Pose. I can tell you that it was not true. The success of the album only brought me fame, not riches. I didn’t make even enough money to pay my bills from the sale of the album. To make ends meet, what I did was go on playing tours and perform at music shows. Pirates were the ones that benefitted from my sweat,” he said.

Fryo also blamed his former records labels for his woes.

“I was informed by reliable sources that royalties valued at $10,000 had been paid to me from London. But the collecting society that should have remitted the money to me connived with the records company and they shared it among themselves. I did my own investigation and found out that it was true I had been cheated out of the fruits of my labour.

“I felt so bad that I had to quit my relationship with the company. As I talk to you, I don’t belong to any collecting society and I am not interested in joining any. What they did to me shows how much corruption has eaten into the Nigerian society and the music industry. Everybody wants to get rich quickly at the expense of their neighbour. So they indulge in all kinds of criminal activity,” Fryo said.

Nowadays, Fryo manages to survive by doing business. Although he did not say exactly what he does for a living.

To those who imagined that he would not be able to cope with the competition from younger music artistes, he says, “I am not afraid of competition. Why should I be? I am going to come back in a different way. What I need to do is make a little adjustment and hope that my music will be accepted by the public.”

A Senior Magistrate, Aliyu Shafa, ordered the police to cane the convict in public after he pleaded guilty to stealing 17 pieces of scaffold clips valued at N150,000.

Shafa directed that the police should hand him over to the traditional ruler of Abaji, where he came from because he was still a minor.

OMG! Santa's helper shot.

A Santa's helper delivering toys in the US city of Washington has been shot in the back with a pellet gun.
As a TV crew videoed him in the street, he said "Merry..." before staggering in pain as the pellet hit.

The man, who has not been named and is recovering in hospital, initially said he wanted to carry on with the giveaway but paramedics stepped in and took him away in an ambulance.
A Grinch character then saved Christmas by stepping in to deliver the gifts.

On the video posted on the website of WJLA-TV, the man waves as he walks down the street.
He says: "This is awesome, Merry..." but then recoils in pain.
"Someone's shooting. Someone just shot me."

He recovers to say, "I'm glad I got hit and nobody else go hurt", before being taken to hospital. A man dressed as the green-clothed Dr Seuss character then took over.

Tuface: Born Innocent Idibia, the former member of the band, Plantashun Boyz, is among the richest artists in the industry. With two platinum records already behind him, Tuface (2Face) is speculated to be worth about 550 million naira ($3.47 million). He has had endorsement deals from companies such as Guinness, which earned him 20 million naira ($125,000) and Airtel, which earned him 22 million naira ($139,000). He was also rumoured to have collected 30 million naira ($189,000) from the producers of the Phat Girls movie. Tuface has invested heavily in real estate and stocks, and made bug money from it. He once said his goal was to recover all the wealth taken from Africa.

D'banj: Apart from his music interests, D'banj has moved into other sectors. His interests include Koko Mansion, a TV reality show, Koko Lounge, an upscale hangout in Lagos and the UK, Koko Foundation, a charity, and Koko Mobile.

He has a multi-million naira endorsement with energy drink Power Fist, a deal with the makers of the Virgin Colour soft drink and another huge deal with a popular jeweller. Another endorsement which runs into millions is with Chris Aire, with D'banj acting as the face of his watches. He collects between 5 million naira ($31,500) and 7 million naira ($44,200) as performance fee for local gigs, and even bigger fees across the rest of Africa and in the US and the UK. Like his old boss, Don Jazzy, D'banj also bagged a recording deal with Kanye West's G.O.O.D Music. D'banj once said, "I work hard so that money, awards, endorsements, bookings and kokolets chase me."

Don Jazzy: Real name Michael Enebeli, Don Jazzy, is the founder of now defunct Mo'Hits and now runs Mavin Records. He is one of the most sought after producers in Nigeria. As a child he was a member of Good Morning Kids, a group created by his father.

Banky W: Banky W has become one of the richest entertainers in the industry, making the bulk of his wealth from gigs, where he charges between 2.5 million naira ($15,800) and 3 million naira ($19,000) per show and performs three to four times each week.

Nigerian Presidency to spend N14.5m on two wild Animals for the state House.

The Nigerian Presidency will next year spend the sum of N14.5m on two wild animals for the state House Zoo. The names of the two animals names were not given.


These are contained in the details of the Appropriation bill presented by President Goodluck Jonathan through the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to the National Assembly last week.


Apart from the amount earmarked for the animals, N8m  is budgeted for the upgrading and maintenance of the  State House  zoo. The renovation of the horses’ stables/paddock for the zoo will gulp N15m.

See matter.
