Ahead of 2019 general elections, popular Nigerian Musician, David Adeleke, otherwise known as Davido, has raised the alarm over plans to arrest Nigerian youths.

He further warned Nigerians to be careful as election draws closer.

The ‘Assurance’ crooner further urged his colleagues to speak up and participate in voting and politics in the country.

Davido wrote: “Aren’t we entertainers tired of people telling us to stay out of politics because it’s dangerous? Are we still gonna be listening to them for years to come ?

“We are powerful and they know me I full found! It’s our country and it’s our business about how ‘OUR’ country is being run?

“We have the power not them !! They know this but they don’t want ‘US’ to know! All that killing , threatening and kidnapping shit because some one is speaking the truth ends now! Defend your vote.

“They are planning to start arresting youths as from next week for no reason, be careful my people, they know they are going to lose and they have a plan. Let’s stick together and let’s all be careful on these streets!”

Drake's Old Rhyme Book To Be Sold For N11 Million ($32,500)

Canadian rapper, Drake is no doubt one of the hottest and most successful rappers of this generation.

The “In My Feelings” hitmaker’s old rhyme book from when he was still an upcoming music act and relatively unknown to the world is up for sale at N11 million.

The notebook is owned by the Grammy award-winning singer and he had it between 2002 and 2005. It is to be sold through the memorabilia company “Moments in Time” and they are hawking this prized treasure for a hefty price tag of $32,500.

The notebook was found in a dumpster near Drake’s grandpa’s old furniture factory in Toronto, where Drake used to work. It also features his signature, so potential buyers can be assured it is legit.

According to the celebrity gossip site, TMZ, this particular notebook features 20-25 pages of verses, full songs, and random musings by the music star during his “Degrassi” days.

In fact, there are tons of insights into how a young Drake viewed and dealt with women in those days. See a short preview below;


“Girls lie and you make it evident you affected

Up north / Drake is the president I’m respected

But I’m a liar due to the evidence you collected

From chicks in my crew / to chicks beside you

Cashiers at the drive through / them hoes lie too”
It would be recalled that we reported that Drake is the second highest contender at the 2019 Grammy awards with seven nominations. He follows closely behind Kendrick Lamar who has eight nominations. The prestigious award is set to hold at the Staples Centre on February 10.

Federal University of Technology, Minna Graduate, Obinna Udoji bags one year Jail term for $9,654 fraud


EFCC has secured the conviction of Obinna Udoji, a graduate of the Department of Building Technology, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, for a $9,654 fraud.

He was arrested by operatives of the EFCC on January 7, 2019 following intelligence report that he fraudulently obtained money from one Alina Ruso, which he claimed was to be invested in a company, Zenith Margin, which turned out to be false. He was subsequently arraigned before Justice A.O. Onovo of an Enugu State High Court, for the offence of obtaining money by false pretence, to which he pleaded “guilty”.

The trial judge, however, asked the prosecution led by Innocent Mbachie, to present its witness, “in order for the court to hear the facts of the case”. Thereafter, a prosecution witness was called, who narrated how an intelligence report was received by the EFCC, which led to the investigation and arrest of Udoji.

Tendered as evidence, were the intelligence report, statements, bank statements, scanned emails from Udoji’s computer and emails from the EFCC to the victim to establish the case, including Udoji’s application for plea bargain.

Mbachie, further told the court that Udoji had returned the money to his victim, and urged the court to “convict him in accordance to Section 367 subsection 8, 9 and 10 of the Administration of criminal Justice Act”.



Defence counsel, T.U. Nweke, pleaded with the judge to “temper justice with mercy” as his client was a first-time offender and an orphan. Justice Onovo, on February 7, 2019 sentenced him to one year in prison, noting that, “I took cognizance of his plea and his restituting of the total sum to the victim”.

It’s been a good few years for American entertainers, with Kylie Jennersoon to take the crown as the youngest self-made billionaire, and Michael Jordan having safely crossed the billion mark some time ago. In line with these entrepreneurs, power couple Beyoncé & JAY-Z continue to growth their coffers, with Forbes placing the pair at a combined net worth of $1.25 billion USD. Though Beyoncé weighs in at a respectable $355 million USD, JAY-Z brings in the majority of the wealth, with $900 million to his name.
