I am grateful to Six foot Plus for sharing all he had with me – Basket Mouth

Once again Basket Mouth gives props to another artist who helped him in time of need; he tells the story of how Six foot Plus helped to defray his transport fare when he had no money on him.

Here’s part two of 'Before I Write a Book' – inspiring story of little beginnings.

As I pay respect to those great men that changed my life, the seemingly little gestures that shaped me and have made me who I am… I recall another long evening…

Year 2000, Fame pre-award concert. Dele Olukoju and Wale Oluwaleimu were the stage/project managers. Wale had suggested I come perform in my bid to build a name.

I went there with a friend of mine, we had spent the last kobo on us transporting ourselves and getting food to eat as the event didn’t start early enough.

My performance was done at about midnight. It was a great outing for me. As it was time to leave, I met with the show organisers hoping I’d be paid for my service or get a little change for transport.

Unfortunately, communication had gone wrong somehow as they thought I was doing the performance for free. It dawned on me at that moment that I was in trouble.

Kelly Rowland Covers Essence Magazine, September Issue [PHOTO]

Kelly Rowland is all smiles on the September 2013 cover of Essence Magazine – in the interview; she opens up about being on top of her game, being in the industry, her beau and coming into her own as a singer.

On being judged:

“I didn’t want anybody to judge me. But now I don’t care,” she says. “Judge me if you want to. And as a matter of fact, it won’t even count, ‘cause the only person who can judge is God.”

On Dirty Laundry and Beyonce:

“For a long time I wasn’t happy, but that had nothing to do with Beyoncé,” Rowland says. “That had to do with me trying to get my life in order and make better decisions for myself. I’m seeing all these wonderful things happen for her and I am happy for her. But I want a path. I want things to pop off for me, too. Not on her level but whatever my level is supposed to be.”

On her fitness pastime: 

“I see the beauty in boxing,” she says. “It teaches me strength, physically but mostly mentally. I had to learn my strength, because for so long I could have been tougher than I was.”

My Problem with the First Lady – Gov. Rotimi Amaechi

Rivers State Governor Chibuike Amaechi has said that he desires peace with President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience, irrespective of their perceived misunderstanding.       

Amaechi said his misunderstanding with the First Lady arose out of his desire to provide a conducive learning environment for the children of Okrika, her hometown.  

The governor stated this when clergymen of the Niger Delta Bishops’ Forum visited him in Government House, Port Harcourt Friday as part of their efforts to mediate the political crisis in the state.

Amaechi said: “My lords, I don’t know what to say. Believe me, the only thing I want to say to you is that, and I want to be put on record, the wife of the President said when my wife came to beg me, I pushed her away. 

“I have never quarrelled with my wife publicly, and I will never quarrel with my wife publicly. So, there is no time I pushed my wife away, and there is no time I will push my wife away. 

“I just want to correct that so that nobody goes away with the impression that somebody told my wife, ‘go and talk to your husband,’ and she came and I pushed her away. 

Ghanaian Pastor Infects Boy, 14, with HIV, Says his libido gets high when he drinks alcohol [PHOTO]

A Tema-based man of God, Pastor Marvin Brown alias Prince Mark, has been arrested by the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Tema Regional Police Command for having carnal knowledge of a 14-year-old member of his church, resulting in the boy acquiring HIV.

Pastor Brown, the Spiritual Head of the New Jerusalem Religion at Tema Community 4, allegedly sodomised the boy on five occasions and warned him not to disclose the act to anyone or he would die.

The Tema Regional Police PRO, ASP Olivia Turkson confirmed the arrest of the suspect to Daily Guide yesterday.

She said the pastor was arrested after the parents of the Class 4 pupil of a Tema basic school reported the incident to the police.

Sources close to the family told the paper that they suspected the pastor might have infected the boy with HIV after the boy tested positive for the deadly disease.

The pastor, during interrogation by the police, admitted sodomizing the boy but denied that he had sex with the teenager five times.

He said it occurred only once under the influence of alcohol after an outing with the victim who was living with him in his house.

Lawmakers Or Lawbreakers: Watch Taiwanese lawmakers exchanged punches [VIDEO]

Taiwanese lawmakers exchanged punches and threw water at each other today ahead of an expected vote that would authorise a referendum on whether to finish a fourth nuclear power plant on the densely populated island of 23 million people.

Nuclear power has long been a contentious issue in Taiwan and became more so following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011.

Fighting in the hallowed, nay hollow chambers is a bug that is spreading like wild fire.

Our so-called lawmakers have turned themselves into pugilist, fighting at any slight provocation. Like they say, “when the rain falls on the leopard, it does not wash off its spot”

Why I don’t have mercy for policemen – Notorious Armed Robber

A wanted robbery suspect, Abiodun Ogunjobi, aka Abbey Godogodo, who was said to have been terrorising the South-West for some time, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command.

According to police authorities, the suspect led the gang that killed seven people, including the owner of 04 Hotel, Ajah, Lagos, Olanrewaju Subair, on July 7, 2013.

They also killed two other security guards at a popular hotel along Apapa Road, Ebute Meta area of the state on the same day.

The suspect, who was paraded on Thursday, said he has killed many policemen, adding that he had been into robbery for over 10 years and had built houses.

Ogunjobi said, “I started robbery in 1996 but in 1999, I was charged for fighting. I spent about seven years in prison. My prolonged stay in prison for minor crime of fighting hardened me and I vowed to pay back the police for that injustice. After I was released, I went to Katangowa in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos to meet my friend, Odun.

“Odun was an armed robber, so, we started operating together. We worked with several gangs and I invested lots of my money in arms buying. I also built five houses in Ifo, Ilaro, Ikorodu and Ibadan. I usually kill policemen and take their rifles because policemen have killed several of my boys and taken most of my rifles from them.
