It's ok now that you have apologised. Lol. But I thought it was all a joke?

Macaulay Culkin switches from acting to music .

Former child actor Macaulay Culkin has switched from acting to music.

Culkin, who rose to fame as the clever youngster in the 1990 movie Home Alone and its sequels, is scheduled to perform with his band, The Pizza Underground, in New York on 8 February, the concert organiser said.

The performance in Manhattan's Greenwich Village will be the first in a series of Kidrockers concerts for children and their parents. Culkin, 33, and four other band members will perform. The recently formed group is a tribute to the group Velvet Undergound. Kidrockers founder Beth Lorge said the idea behind the Kidrockers concerts is to create an opportunity for kids and parents to discover artists and get to see them play live in a comfortable environment.

"The Kids and their parents will be given the unique opportunity to experience an authentic, awesome and 'of the moment' rock show," Lorge said.

Culkin went through a rocky period after becoming famous. His career was overshadowed by a bitter custody fight with his parents in which Culkin denied them any of his earnings.

Later he was prosecuted on a drugs charge. After getting past those problems, Culkin was never able to re-establish himself as an actor in Hollywood.

Our skit wasn’t to hurt Jim Iyke –Helen Paul

Jim Iyke had commented on the skit which
also featured Helen Paul, saying,

 “People cross the lines sometimes for relevance. It disappoints if it comes from people you deemed to have self respect. Classless.”

But reacting to the actor’s misgivings, Helen said the skit was just a joke and not necessarily meant to hurt Jim Iyke even as the video has gone viral.

“It is just a joke. I am an actress and a senior colleague called me for a job. I was given the script and I acted my part. We did not mean to hurt Jim Iyke. In the skit, I was portrayed as a prostitute but that is not what Helen Paul is about,” she said.

She added that the alleged ‘deliverance’ was something that was talked about a lot and that was probably why he was mentioned in the skit. She emphasised that the skit was purely for humour purpose and not malicious in any way.

However, ace comedian, AY said he would not comment on the issue as he and Iyke are friends. Saturday Beats gathered that when the video went viral and the news broke early in the week, the comedian known for his hilarious skit contemplated on a response but later said that he and the actor were friends and would settle their differences like friends do.

Online commentators who found the joke as funny were quick to lash insults at Jim Iyke as they made it known that it was just a comedy skit and nothing serious.

The video had thousands of views on YouTube and Jim Iyke’s comment came a few weeks after the comedian’s channel was ranked as the number one most watched channel in Africa.

Supreme Court orders Mohammed Abacha’s retrial for theft

The Supreme Court on Friday ordered the retrial of  Mohammed Abacha, son of the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha.
He had sought to stop the Federal Government from trying him for allegedly receiving and concealing stolen funds.The apex court ordered him to return to a Federal Capital Territory High Court, where the charges against him were filed.

The Federal Government had filed criminal charges containing 123 counts against Mohammed after stolen funds were traced to the family of the late military dictator.The charges filed against Mohammed bordered on conspiracy, receiving and concealing stolen property – in breach of provisions of the Penal Code.

However, even before taking his plea, Mohammed filed an appeal to challenge the Federal Government’s decision to try him.The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, after which he headed for the Supreme Court.

He argued that, according to the guidelines set out for the forfeiture of assets in Decree 53 of 1999, it would be unlawful to prosecute him, since the stolen money had been returned to the coffers of the Federal Government.

Section 5 of Decree 53 of 1999 prevented the prosecution of persons accused of stealing public funds, who had forfeited the said stolen funds to the government.

Decree 53 of 1999 was promulgated by the regime of General Abdulsalam Abubakar, and in compliance with the provisions of sections 2 and 3 of the law, the late Head of state and his family returned US$625,263,187.19, £75,306,886.93 and N100,000,000.00, while the accused person also returned N250,000,000.00.

The younger Abacha insisted that he had complied with Decree 53, and as a result of the compliance, he had acquired immunity from prosecution in relation to the stolen funds.He maintained that the charges filed against him before the FCT High Court breached the undertaking or promise stated in section 5 of Decree 53 – that there would be no prosecution as a result of the forfeiture.

However, in a unanimous decision, a panel of justices of the Supreme Court on Friday dismissed the appeal, thereby clearing the way for the Federal Government to try him.

Justice Olukayode Ariwoola held that Mohammed should return to the FCT High Court to take his plea.

One of the arguments advanced by Mohammed in the appeal was that his father enjoyed immunity while in office, but the court held that, if the late Abacha were to be alive today, he would be liable for prosecution, as his immunity expired when he left office.

The apex court held that, in line with Decree 53, once a property has been shown to be corruptly or illegally acquired, its forfeiture to the government was automatic and not subject to the agreement or cooperation of the persons in possession of the said property, and as a result, such forfeiture cannot earn them indemnity against trial.
