Fan goes crazy at CokoBar concert, shows crowd her goodies while dancing

The CokoBar Music Festival took place last night Sunday 6th October 2013 at London's o2 Indigo and one of the most memorable incident of the night was when a fan (pictured above) was picked from the crowd to come on stage to flex her dancing skills to Flavour's music. The lady got on stage and started out pretty okay, she bounced and shook her bum bum to a delighted crowd...the cheering must have gotten to her because she then went totally crazy, and gave concert goers a peek of her 'selling point' lol. Check out the photos after the cut...*warning* Booty on display :-)

PLANE CRASH: Why Agagu’s Casket Remained Intact (Photo of the late Agagu intact In His Casket–Don’t Look If You Can’t Handle It)

he ill-fated plane crash which happened on Thursday has left many tongues wagging as lives were lost and yet, the casket carrying Agagu’s corpse remained intact.

According to sources who were present when the casket was opened, the body of the neatly dressed Agagu was not ruffled.

“The cap on his head stayed intact even after impact”, a source told a National newspaper.

In a traditional society like Nigeria, these shocking discoveries have left left many insinuating there is more to it than meets the eye.

But the simple reason is this:

According to report, the coffin cargo was latched to the hooks in the cargo compartment of the plane.

It was also gathered that the coffin was in the rear end of the plane and, like those who survived the crash, it enjoyed the benefit of positioning.

However, aviation experts are of the view that sitting at the rear end of the plane is not a definite guarantee against fatality during an air crash.

Meanwhile during his burial on Friday, his widow Funke Agagu insisted on seeing the body before he is buried. She was photographed praying for the body before he was lowered into his grave.

How Policemen Tried To Rape Me In Their Station

Mr. Abdullahi Araga, a lawyer has narrated how he was illegally detained and almost raped by police officers at Rigasa police station in Kaduna State.

Araga told a reporter that trouble started on September 16, 2013, at 8pm when he noticed someone was flashing a torch light at his living room. He said he later discovered that it was his neighbour whom he identified as Ibrahim Ahmadu.

“I told him that he was interfering in my private life because the torch light was exposing my parlour. More so, my wife was half-naked and breast-feeding our five-month old baby. Instead, he spat on my face and invited a mob to beat me up and tore my clothes to shreds,” Araga alleged.

Araga said he reported the incident at police station in Rigasa, but rather than intervening, the police who on recognising him as a legal practitioner who had engaged them previously on other cases promised to deal with him.

Continuing, he said, “Without hearing my statement, I was asked to be illegally detained by DSP Abdullahi Muhammed Isah without any signed detention order by any police officer. When I tendered my torn clothes as exhibit, it was rejected by the policemen at the counter. My plea to allow me have medical treatment at Rigasa General Hospital which was a stone throw from the police station was rejected.

Araga alleged that while at the police station, he was almost raped by policemen on duty.

In his words: “At midnight, I was taken to the counter where I was beaten to a pulp and stripped naked. The policemen whose names I do not know but can identify, attempted penetrating my anus with their genitals which I resisted vehemently.”

TOTAL PARALYSIS: ASUP Shuts Polytechnics, Joins ASUU Strike

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, has commenced an indefinite strike, starting from Friday, October 4.

This was confirmed by the ASUP president, Chibuzor Asumogba.

“Yes, of course, the strike has begun today (Friday). It’s still going on and no turning back till the Federal Government listens to us and attend to our needs; none has been satisfactorily met,” he said.

ASUP is asking for the removal of the dichotomy between HND/University graduates in placement and career progression; constitution of an effective and functional governing council for polytechnics; a white paper on visitation panels to polytechnics and a much-needed assessment of polytechnics.

The strike is expected to commence fully in polytechnics across Nigeria from next week Monday.

The polytechnic lecturers had earlier in the year embarked on a strike, for the same reasons. The strike lasted almost three months and was suspended on July 16 after the intervention of federal lawmakers. The lecturers say the government has not made concrete efforts since then to address their demands.

A similar nationwide strike by university lecturers is in its fourth month as the lecturers, ASUU, demand a full implementation of the 2009 agreement they had with the federal government.

King Sunny Ade – I Lied To My Mum For 3 Years That I Was A Student Of UNILAG

In a recent interview with Punch NG, legendary Nigerian artiste King Sunny Ade talked about his music, growing up as a child, the industry and much more.

Excerpts from the interview below.

A lot of people might find it very difficult to believe that you are 67 with your looks; what is the magic?

There is no magic; I just find myself like this. It’s true people tell me that I don’t look my age and whenever they say so, I get back home and look at myself in the mirror. But within myself, I know I am old. Truth is, I don’t have any magic than to give God the glory for a good health.

Before some artistes go on stage, they either drink some stuff or smoke to be able to perform very well. What do you depend on that makes you do what you do on stage?

Let me just put it this way that I am just lucky. I don’t drink and I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs and I don’t like people who do drugs. Even within my band, ordinary cigarette smoking irritates me; I don’t like it. I believe that music on its own is enough to make me high because I love doing it with passion. I don’t need any drug to make me high on stage. I am addicted to music without necessarily taking anything to make me high.

What was your dream as a young boy?

When I was young, I wanted to be an engineer and at the same time, I wanted to be a lawyer. At another time, I wanted to be a doctor. In fact, there was no time I wanted to be a musician because being born into royalty, it was unthinkable to think that way. But I loved music; I loved dancing and people who danced. I loved to dance to any kind of music.

Then as a young boy of seven or eight, I used to pray for branded vans promoting new products like Michelin, to come to my community where I could listen to music and watch people dance. At times, I would just join to dance and people would be clapping for me. I would forget myself so much until one relative came along to pull my ears or beat me for dancing around.

So, when I realised that nobody in the family wanted me to dance or watch those who danced or played music, it did not occur to me to wish to become a musician. I thought I would be a good lawyer because nobody won me over in any argument. At the same time too, I thought I would be an engineer because then, you would find me at any refuse dump where I would be looking for used wire and batteries which I coupled together to produce light.

Then I would like to know what was doing the talking in the radio and people thought I would end up as an engineer. I learnt carpentry and painting.

How? What of school?

I was going to school but anytime I closed, I went to the carpentry workshop to learn. During holidays too, I was always at the workshop working. Again, I had a brother who repaired motorcycles and his shop was beside where I was learning carpentry. I more or less was learning so many things at the same time.

But why did your parents take you to the carpentry workshop to learn even when you were schooling?

No, it was on my own. I was very bright at school because the little I could read was enough for me to pass. Once I did my homework, I would dash across to the workshop and learn. Despite this, I never failed in school except once when my teacher intentionally failed me. I reported him to the headmaster and the teacher was sacked. We were 39 in class and the teacher said I came 14th instead of being in the first three.

Even at that, how could I be said to have failed in the 14th position out of 39? It looked very strange to me and I walked into the headmaster’s office and reported the teacher. After reporting the man, the headmaster told me not to tell anybody and that he knew what to do. I just discovered that I didn’t see the teacher again; it was later that I learnt that the teacher had been sacked.

But as a bright boy, why didn’t you proceed to the university?

That was my dream and intention. You know, I lost my father when I was young and I loved my mum so much that I thought it would be a burden for her to continue to fund my education alone with that of my siblings. So, out of pity for her, I decided to be doing something to help rather than depending on her to cater for me. When I was still very young in school, my mother who used to weave aso oke always gave me new cloth for my school uniform every term with different designs.

I joined the Boys Brigade and during the holidays, we used to go to the white people’s home like the DO (District Officer) for any job and sometimes, they would dash us some money. I used to go to the farm to look for bamboo to make cages for the birds that I caught. I would then give out the birds together with the cage and asked to be given anything in exchange.

I wanted to go to the university; in fact when I ran to Lagos from Abeokuta, my people back home thought I was in the University of Lagos. When I was leaving Abeokuta for Lagos, I actually told some colleagues that I was going to Lagos to try my luck but that if my family asked of me, they should tell them that I gained admission to University of Lagos.

For almost three years, my family thought I was in the university in Lagos. It was not until I formed my own group that an uncle came and asked me whether I was actually Sunny Ade. I said yes and he said how come; what happened to your university education? I said well, I had to take to music when I could no longer pay myself through school.

He almost slapped me, accusing me of lying to the family that I was in school. Then I now made him to sit down and explained to him and he understood and promised to tell the family what I was actually doing. My family didn’t approve of what I was doing for almost 15 years until I really made the name. They found it difficult to know that I was actually Sunny Ade instead of Sunday Adeniyi.

Again in those days, they could only hear you on the radio; the television then, WNTV was very competitive for everyone to be featured. My mother insisted that I must go to school instead of playing music. She asked me how I wanted my father to feel in the grave that his son was only good enough to sing instead of being a lawyer or an engineer as the case may be.

Why are you so close to almost all Yoruba obas? Is it because of being from a royal family?

I believe God gave me that and till now, I still don’t know why they all love me. I am the son of all the obas and I respect them because obas are born. As a Yoruba boy and being a royal blood, one must know how to behave in their presence. Whenever I go to the Oba of Benin, he is always the one that beckons to me to come closer to him. He would say but I knew him as a permanent secretary, so why keeping a distance and I would say that was when he was just a prince.

When you and Onyeka Onwenu did a song, Wait for me, there was a rumour that you two had an affair…

That was the gimmick we used for that particular record to be widely accepted. Because the collaboration was very unusual, people were thinking we were dating but we were not. People were thinking we were getting married until the record came out. Onyeka is a very good friend and an energetic musician. The song was sponsored by Hopkins University in Maryland, USA and we even went there to collect the award together.
