Nollywood actor Jigan, was allegedly beaten by soldiers, at a bar in Elegushi beach at the early hours of today.

The actor and his musician friend, Jaywon, were their for the birthday celebration of their colleague, singer DannyS, when the incident occurred.

Trouble allegedly started when a member of their crew engaged in a fight and injured someone, who then reported the matter to some soldiers around.

However, Jigan and Jaywon were said to be trying to defend the attacker, with Jigan quoted as saying “don’t you know who I am?,” a statement that angered the soldiers, who then brought out their horsewhip and started flogging him.

Everything later degenerated into a state of chaos, with people fleeing and the birthday party ending abruptly.

Oyo state government begins reconstruction of Yinka Ayefele’s Demolished Music house

The Oyo State Government through its Special Adviser to Governor Abiola Ajimobi on Communication and Strategy, Mr Bolaji Tunji, has explained its role in ongoing reconstruction of the façade of the Music House, owned by the gospel musician, Mr. Yinka Ayefele, which was partially demolished in August, this year.Tunji explained that the appeal by various stakeholders to the state government, as well as the preparedness of the owner of the building to rectify the contraventions, which would involve the reduction of the frontage fence line by 1.5m, among others, informed the intervention by the Governor.

He added that the parking lots at the tail end of the building close to the entrance of Lagelu Estate had also been reduced by 10.9m to allow for visibility.

The Special Adviser said that the current frontage of the building was being remodeled to become the back of the building, while the current back of the building had been converted to the frontage.

In line with the recommendation of the joint committee of the state government and the Music House management, he said that an entrance was being reconstructed from the rear of the building to the staircase housing the ram for the exclusive use of Ayefele.

He added, “There is also the recession of the current façade on the frontage of the building by 2.9m. The new fence will be grill fence to ensure visibility, while a staircase will be built at the basement to access the studio.

“The structural elements in the building will also be strengthened, while the two projections at both ends (stair halls) of the current frontage will be retained.”

Tunji advised those seeking to rubbish the political capital built by the Governor in the past seven years through purposeful governance and unprecedented achievements to look elsewhere.

He added, “Following Mr Ayefele’s admittance of breach of procedures in the construction of the building and his subsequent apologies, as well as intervention of well-meaning members of the public, the governor agreed to temper justice with mercy.

“The governor’s approval on the reconciliation of the issue was communicated to Mr Ayefele on October 19, 2018, where His Excellency also approved the assistance on the reconciliation agreed upon on compassionate grounds, as he earlier promised publicly.

“It is necessary to put it on records that the governor or the state government was not out to witch-hunt the popular musician or anybody, but had acted to safeguard members of the public who daily ply the roads contiguous to the Music House.”

The Owner Of Instablog Unveil

The ownership of the popular Instagram blog instablog9ja, has been for a while shrouded in mystery as no one knew the owner of Instablog9ja, but after some findings, we have been able to unravel the identity of the manager of the platform.

For years, many have wondered who the mystery person behind the instagram blog was, with so many names thrown around…and none, until now, has been right. Being anonymous was obviously important to the creator of instablog but we think it’s time everyone knows the man behind the IG blog.

John is a 2002 graduate of University of Agriculture and has a Master’s Degree in New Media & Society, Communication and Media Studies from University of Leicester UK in 2014. He also holds an international Broadcast Presentation certificate and Broadcast Journalism from Radio Nigeria training school, Lagos.

His experience in news editing, his degree in new media and communication and his training in broadcast journalism is what has pushed his platform instablog9ja into the success it is today and we think it’s time for John Abayomi Aruleba to take the stage and take a bow.

Fellaini is the best substitute in world football – Steve McMahon

Former Liverpool star, Steve McMahon has said Manchester United midfielder, Marouane Fellaini is the best substitute in world football

McMahon also said that Fellaini was so important for Jose Mourinho’s side because the Belgium international changes game for United at any point in time.

Fellaini has made thirteen appearances for United in all competitions this campaign, scoring one goal.

Seven out of the midfielder’s thirteen appearances came as a substitute, including when he scored off the bench in the Carabao Cup encounter against Derby County last month.

“Mourinho likes Fellaini, he likes him in both boxes,” McMahon told Sky Sports.“He’s the best substitute in world football.

“He’s the best plan B I’ve ever seen in world football, both for country and for club.

“You can play him anywhere, anytime, bring him on whether you’re winning, bring him on whether you’re losing.

“He affects the game because he can change games when things are stale and he needs a goal.

“When he wants to tighten up, he will bring him on.”

Michelle Obama has revealed that her daughters were conceived using IVF. The former First Lady of the United States and her husband Barack Obama looked for professional help after she suffered a miscarriage 20 years ago.

Admitting she felt 'lost and alone' after the tragedy, she told Good Morning America she thought she'd "failed because I didn't know how common miscarriages were because we don't talk about them."

“We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we’re broken," she said.


"I think it's important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen.

“That's one of the reasons why I think it's important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen.”

She and her husband subsequently 'had to do IVF' to conceive Sasha, 17, and Malia, 20, and Michelle details her fertility battle in her new memoir, Becoming.

It was between the ages of 34 and 35 that Michelle says she first realised, 'the biological clock is real,' and that 'egg production is limited'.

Congrats are rolling in for rap mogul, Rick Ross, as the MMG boss recently announced the arrival of his new son, and he named him Billion.

Rick Ross and his girlfriend Brianna Camille welcomed their second child, a boy and they named him Billion Leonard Roberts.

The 42-year-old rapper who shares a daughter with his fitness model girlfriend took to his Twitter page this morning to share the good news. He wrote:

"I have arguably the biggest album and without argument,the biggest Hip Hop or even local song this year" AKA narrates why he does not believe in Award

                           
South African rapper, AKA, who seems displeased with the way awards are being handed out lately, has gone off on a rant on Twitter.

AKA who stated that he is at a point in his career where he no longer needs validations in form of awards to prove that he’s great, added that he is not interested in people saying ‘who is great and who is deserving and who isn’t anymore’. 

His tweets reads;

Megacy. Please stop attacking the SA Hip Hop Awards. I didn’t submit. For my own personal reasons I no longer submit for award shows because I no longer believe in the concept of awards. The greatest reward or award is you rocking with me and my music. I wish them all the best ??
I have arguably the biggest album and without argument … the biggest Hip Hop or even local song this year. Period. I don’t need an award to confirm that. All I need is your support. ??????
I am simply not interested in people telling us who is great and who is deserving and who isn’t anymore. Bob Marley and Tupac never won Grammies. I also don’t look down on people who DO submit or care about awards. It’s just my preference at this point in my career.
I appreciate all the amazing accolades and awards I have received over the years. All the votes from you and all the recognition from the industry and my peers. I am just not into awards right now. Good luck to all nominees!!! ??????
There is no award for still being at the peak of this industry after dropping my 1st song in 2008 … 2005 if you count Entity. Thank You for riding with me. It’s all LOVE ??
