A serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has passed on after several rounds of sexual bout in his girlfriend’s house in Benin City.
The news came as a rude shock to residents and family members to the late corps member who was earlier posted to Jigawa State but returned to Edo State to continue the one year mandatory service because of the killings in the North.
His girl friend who is in her mid 20s and a student of Shaka Momodu Polytechnic revealed that after hanging out with her Corper lover also in his 20s, he took alcohol and some suya and she accompanied him to a local dealer to buy an undisclosed drug before going to bed.
Around 2a.m the Corper started shouting which attracted neighbours. They tried to pray to God to revive him from exhaustion while others sprinkled olive oil on him.
The young lady, a chorister of Church of God Mission and the daughter a pastor in Warri, Delta State is currently kept at the Esigie Police Divisional Station with the landlord of the house located at Muritala Mohammed Way in the heart of the state capital.
The girl is now in a dilemma as she is on the verge of losing her fiancée who proposed to marry her and has subsequently introduced him to her father in Warri as her would be husband.
Meanwhile, the Edo State Public Relation Officer, Mr. Peter Ogboi who confirmed the incident said a post mortem will be conducted on the deceased.

LG Chairman Dies 3 Weeks After Swearing In

It was indeed devastating news last week after a long celebration in the home of Alhaji Adamu Garba Ibeto, the newly elected Chairman of Magama Local Government. The politician who is also, a cousin to the present Deputy Governor of Niger State, Alhaji Musa Ibeto, was found stone dead in his bedroom at his house in Ibeto. Alhaji Ibeto, was one of the 24 new local government chairmen recently sworn in by the Niger State Governor, Aliyu Babangida on September 13, 2011. All through the period, he was hale and hearty until two weeks ago when a story broke out that the man had died. However, series of speculation and rumors have started flying around concerning his death but one thing according to close sources is that, they met some portion of local herbs believed to have high concentration of alcohol by his bedside. Though, official statement has not been made yet but Dr. Muazu Babangida has instituted an inquiry to find out the cause of his death. The deputy chairman has since been sworn-in as the chairman of the local government.

ATTN: Nigerian Independent Musicians and Music Promoters

My name is Femi Lawal, a publicist and music business entrepreneur. The Co-founder of Mega Points International (Africa's First Independent A&R/Promotion Company).
There was a broadcast going round among the black berry users in Nigeria with accusations against Ovie of NotJustOk, the leading music download portal in Nigeria. After reading few of the comments on the publication on this blog and series of other accusations from independent artistes and music promoters on BBM, i felt i should read a release on this issue.
Thanks to Ladun for granting me this opportunity to have my say.
NotJustOk is a reputable music download portal, an open platform for independent musicians to get showcase their materials to world. The site home thousands of unknown artistes songs and they have been a source for Nigerian diaspora to access new songs. For all artistes or music promoters who may have sent their materials to NotJustOk at one time or the other. Try to consider these following facts.
Your song may not have been featured because 1. It does not meet up to their review metrics. 2. Many songs to review and they have to select the best(It doesn't mean yours is not good ok) 3. Maybe you fail to abide by their submission rules or requirement not complete. The reasons are many these are just the few.
You should remember getting your song feature on the is free but one thing you should consider also is  the more song on the site the more bytes taken from their space. They do have limit of songs to be published. If your song is good keep sending it and believe me it will get featured within a short time.
There are other sites like NotJustOk where you can continue submitting your song while you keep trying your luck with NotJustOk if you believe NotJustOk is where your break through lay.
Send your song, picture(Professionally Designed),brief profile to music@notjustok.com. If you have any problem get in touch with Mrs.Uduak on the site to ask question about your musical career. Please independent musicians make no one your enemy ok and don't divide the music industry.
If you have question or want to discuss anything with me, feel free to contact me: supportlocalhiphopng@live.com
Mega Points International will be organizing a free web meetup for all independent musicians, music managers and music promoter to discuss new means to get your materials out online like online radio,mp3 blast service etc. NotJustOk is for everyone both known and unknown.
Thanks for your time.

Nigerian music industry divided into two. Music practitioners fight Notjustok.com Boss

It has been quite a battle between some artistes, music promoters, managers and Ovie of notjustok.com. According to the above mentioned people who have teamed up as a group, are accusing the notjustok.com boss of being partial about the songs on his website. ‘He promotes the songs of his friends online and hardly welcomes any upcoming artiste who does not belong to his clique’, a music promoter said. The message which was spread across BB yesterday reads thus;
@Ovie of notjustok.com is a fucked, stupid and useless guy. He is playing politics and cliq fing. Why should we the poor then patronize him, if he can’t post the up and coming stars on his website for the whole world to see.  There wld be a change soon, if we can work hand in hand 2 tackle this issue.
Support by adding your signature.
And signatures went on and on.
Aside this and the many tweets we saw, one tweet really got our attention and it was the one of music producer and the pioneer of coded tunes who dropped a voice on this. ‘Why must people die b4 u appreciate them? Errybody standing 4 d ghetto king dagrin yet nt standing 4 wat he stood 4! D STREET!’ directed at Ovie.
Anyway I got in touch with Ovie, and he denied rejecting any upcoming artiste’s song and even asked me to login to the site and be the judge. We can only hope this fight stops now before it gets out of hand, as some artistes are already taking sides. And if care is not taken, this might leave a big crack in the music industry.
