Veteran Actor, Jibola Dabo Denies Quitting Acting, Says Am Only Taking A break.

Popularly known Nollywood actor, Jibola Dabo has been the latest actor to indulge into politics; and denies quitting acting. Jibola, who is currently strategising on how to grab the ticket to represent his people of Owo Federal Constituency, Ondo State at the House of Reps hasn't retired from the Nollywood industry; but just taking a break. According to Dabo, politics has never been his intention nor a decision, but a call from people who needed him more to represent them. He told Vanguard.

“ I can still do one or two movies, because nothing in the constitution says I can’t do movies, but I know there won’t be time to do much movies. I’m not quitting, I’m just taking a break to give back to the people, because I’ve realized that the industry has taken me to a particular peak. Giving back is not going to be easy from that industry, but if I’m part of a voice, I can better develop the industry and give back to the community.
 So, I’m not really quitting, I’m only taking a break” he confided in me. He also told me he doesn’t have to be a career politician to know what his people need. His focus, if elected, “ Would be rural development. I’m quite experienced in the cultural activities in my constituency and I know how we can use the basic things we have in the land to enrich the youths in particular.  I’m going to concentrate on putting my constituency in the international brochure on tourism because we are very rich culturally and also use arts and crafts to create jobs for the youths which is part of the youth empowerment project I have been talking about with the current government. These are self created wealth that can happen from the land, because most of these youths have left the land seeking greener pastures where there are none. I believe that I can help redirect heir attention to the land”.

Singer Banky- W Shares His Thought On Arik-Air Flight Ignominious Failure

The singer Banky-W was one of the passengers on Arik-Air plane in Lagos; Banky who was in Lagos on March 31st to a flight to New York witness the ignominious failure that occur while the whole passengers where on their seats; and shares his thought base-on the defect of Arik-Air Aircraft. His words:

Recently, footage from a camera phone has surfaced online about the dire circumstances that passengers suffered prior to take-off, on board an Arik Air flight from Lagos to New York; I was one of the passengers. For anyone who has not seen the footage, it’s available on Youtube and various News Websites and Blogs. However, for purposes of this write-up, I will recount what happened.

The flight was scheduled to take off at about 1150pm on March 31^st, 2014. Boarding was completed on time, and all the passengers settled in their seats and prepared for the flight to begin. However, there seemed to be a delay in operations because although the ground crew had exited the aircraft and the cabin doors were shut, we weren’t moving. The pilot announced that there was a small delay in the ground crew operations on the plane, and that we should be patient as the flight would depart “in a few minutes”.

The problem was, the air conditioning was not turned on. Midnight soon passed, and there was still no A/C, neither did it feel like we were going anywhere, anytime soon. Passengers were vigorously fanning themselves, asking for water and ice from the Crew, and doing whatever they could to stay cool and hydrated. The reality was that the heat in the plane was quite frankly unbearable.  It’s hot enough in Nigeria these days, and then you couple that with a cabin whose doors have been shut, and a bunch of people locked inside that enclosed space… suffice it to say it escalated from bad to worse very quickly.  The Captain made another announcement about how he’s “sorry for the delay, but it was due to the ground operations”, and that there was only one engine on and that was why the A/C could not be turned on yet. By now it was well past 12:30 and people were becoming extremely frustrated. Parents had begun taking the clothes off their children, children were crying, one lady looked like she would faint. Still, there was no further update on when we would take off and when the A/C would come on.

Olamide Narrates, "I Don't Have Any Beef With Wande Coal, Tony Nwakolo

Famous rapstar, Olamide Adedeji, denied the reports of him having beef with Wande Coal, and Tony Nwakolo his erstwhile manager. According to a chat with Premium Times, Olamide said, he was surprise to read the news on blogs, that 3 days back he spoke with Wande Coal on phone. So this reports he knows nothing of, and can't really tell where is coming from.. He also stated that, in one of his song where he said "they want to Davido me, they want to Wande Coal me was to create awareness, to attach controversy to his carrier and life.

"I didn’t mention picture in my song, and Wande Coal and I don’t have any beef. We were on the phone together like three days ago, so when I saw that report online, I was like – really? Where is this kind of report coming from?
“Wande na my guy and na street boy and he understands wetin I dey try talk. People just want to bring you down; people want to make a scapegoat out of you, that’s what I meant with that line. I did not sub him,” he said.

He also cleared the air on his separation from his manager, Nwakolo.
“Tony Nwakolo no suppose be my manager. If Tony Nwakolo dey manage any artiste, na artiste wey him just wan help. I needed help so badly when Tony Nwakolo came in. I had no manager and Tony Nwakolo came and told I.D Cabasa that he should pick me up and help me.
“No be say Tony na manager, na business man and I’m grateful that he came into my career at that point,” he explained, insisting that the two never fell out at any point.
