Ini Edo begins UN work in earnest 
April 23 will always be ever green in the mind of actress and UN Habitat Youth Envoy, Ini Edo and those who accompany her to Dustbin Estate in Ajegunle Area of Lagos.


Her visit to LOTS Foundation at Dustbin Estate coincided with her birthday hence the gifts packs, t-shirts, food and gift items to the community leaders.  But according to her publicist, Platform PR, theessence of the visit is not just birthday. ‘Ini was appointed alongside two others (one Nollywood actor and one Bollywood actor) as ambassadors of the United Nation.
Her responsibilities according to www.unhabitat.org are to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all in Nigeria and Africa as awhole.

 Speaking on this new role Ini said ‘being named a Special Youth Envoy for UN is one of the most interesting moments of my life, I know this ambassadorial role is not going to be an easy task, but it is a call to responsibility. Beyond acting and making people happy on the screen

we need to learn to stretch our hands and touch people’s lives.

Did you make the Royal Wedding Guest list? Perhaps not

Buckingham Palace released on Saturday an edited guest list for Prince William's marriage to Kate Middleton. Ok... perhaps you did not make this list.  Many like the fact that this royal wedding is no Oscars red carpet although there will be a few famous names ... and that many ordinary people we do not recognise will be there. Still, perhaps you should not hold your breath for an invitation if you do not have one now.

For example Nigerians had never heard of Seyi Obakin, the only Nigerian on the Prince William’s Royal Wedding official guest list released at the weekend by St James’s Palace. Obakin, a chartered accountant and Chief Executive, Centrepoint, a charity organisation in London was listed alongside David Bekham, Sir Elton John, among others on the merit section of the guest list. He is one of the three Africans invited for the wedding and the only non African monarch after the Crown Prince of Morocco and King of Swazi in the list. The royal wedding cake will also be donated to Obakin’s Centrepoint.
I am however more concerned about another Royal Wedding and this post is a third part in a series on lessons for the Church as we observe preparations of royalty for marriages. You may want to read  Part I; Royal Weddings in the Bible. The Good, almost Bad and the Ugly and Part II; Royal Wedding Gifts, Charities and about sending Donations to Rob Bell.

LAGOS — Seyi Obakin  the only Nigerian on the Prince William’s Royal Wedding official guest list released at the weekend by St James’s Palace will receive the Royal Wedding Cake on behalf of Centrepoint.

Obakin, a chartered accountant and Chief Executive, Centrepoint, a charity organisation in London was listed alongside David Bekham, Sir Elton John, among others on the merit section of the guest list. He is one of the three Africans invited for the wedding and the only non African monarch after the Crown Prince of Morocco and King of Swazi in the list.
Prince William is a patron of Obakin’s Centrepoint and has met many of the young people supported by Centrepoint over the years
Obakin joined Centrepoint as Finance Director in 2003 and was promoted to Chief Operating Officer in 2006. He became Acting Chief Executive in May 2008 and was appointed to that role permanently in January 2009. The royal wedding cake will be donated to Obakin’s Centrepoint

A MUSLIM actress has caused a storm by posing naked for Playboy.

Sila Sahin has been branded a "whore" and a "western slut" after appearing
topless on the cover of the German edition of the men's magazine.

Soap beauty ... Sila Sahin

And Islamic fanatics have posted threatening internet messages.

Sila, raised in Germany by conservative Turkish parents, says she fears being
"spat at" and "shamed".

Her parents are said to have reacted with "horror" at the 12-page coverage,
and her mother has apparently cut off all contact.

Sila, 25 - star of German soap Good Times, Bad Times - claimed the shoot was a
reaction to the "slavery" of her youth.

She added: "What I want to say with these photos is, 'Girls, we don't have to
live according to the rules imposed upon us'.

"For years I subordinated myself to various societal constraints. The Playboy
photo shoot was a total act of liberation."

Threats

But Islamic internet sites are being monitored by the BND - the German
intelligence agency - after threats were posted about her "shaming Muslim
womanhood" and "prostituting herself for money".

One poster on the Jihad Watch website wrote: "She needs to be very careful..."
Another simply said: "She must pay."

A kebab shop owner, asked on German TV what he would do if Sila were his
daughter, replied: "I would kill her. I really mean that. That doesn't fit
with my culture."

The Islamic Community of Germany has called for a boycott of Sila.

About three million Muslim immigrants live in Germany, which has seen numerous
honour killings in recent years by fanatical husbands, fathers and brothers.

In 2009, an asylum seeker was sentenced to life after killing his "too
independent" German wife.

One police intelligence officer said of Sila: "I think what she did was either
very brave, or very stupid.She will be double-locking her door at night for
a long time to come."

This bitch of a life
By Carlos Moore
343PP; 
Cassava Republic Press

The year 2010, the 13th anniversary of the death of ‘Abami Eda’, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, was undoubtedly an epiphany. It was a year like no other since his demise. Broadway, the home of theatre in the United States, staged a musical that took the world by storm in a manner the Abami Eda himself did. In the same year, as part of ‘Felabration’--the annual event set aside by his scions to mark his anniversary--the book ‘Fela: This Bitch of a Life’ by Carlos Moore was published in Nigeria, 28 years after it was published to world acclaim abroad.

A rebellious heritage

The release of this book, which marked the first time it was published in Africa, has added more value to the discourse of Fela the man, his music, life and philosophy. Written primarily in the first-person narrative, Fela tells his story candidly, starting from his long-awaited birth and the kind of child his parents expected. In his words, his parents expected “the meek, quiet type ... [a] well-mannered” child but gave birth to him instead. In Yoruba cosmology, it is believed that if a troublesome child is not allowed to breathe life, it will disturb its mother throughout hers. In other words, Fela was a child that had to be born in order for his parents, and especially his mother, to have peace.

The biography traces Fela’s lineage in a way that demonstrates he inherited his rebellious streak from the Kuti family. His father, a priest, once refused to remove his cap while passing by a military barracks where the colonial British flag was flying. He refused to back down when challenged by a military guard and the forceful removal of his cap with a bayonet led to serious uproar in the city. This eventually led to the relocation of the army barracks from within the city of Abeokuta to its outskirts. The book also captures the essence of the mother who was instrumental to the women’s protest against the Alake of Abeokuta for imposing a tax on women.

In writing ‘This Bitch of a Life’, Moore was able to have unrestricted access to Fela. This is perhaps what others who have written books about the legend never had. Fela was at once a man of the people and at the same time a very hard man to get in the kind of close interaction that would have resulted in writing a book as intimate as the one Moore eventually wrote.

Another strong point that Moore had over all other authorised biographers of the Abami Eda was that he was able to give voices to all 27 band girls whom he (the late Fela) affectionately referred to as queens. He married them in one day. In justifying this rather bizarre marriage to 27 girls all at once, he was trying to let the world know that the band girls, who were being rejected or scorned, were all worthy to be married.

The queens

For the first time readers are able to get a firsthand peep into the minds of the wives and what they think of their man. Leading the pack is the numero uno, Remi, mother of the clan. It must have been a tough task for Moore to get her to talk about the man she loved. Many journalists would attest to the fact that she was a most reserved woman, who hardly ever spoke to the press. She was content with living her life in the background. She was also a no-nonsense woman who was not bothered by her husband’s ways with women.

She says, “The only thing that bothered me was if any woman should come and try to act big over me. I wouldn’t take that. It really didn’t bother me because he had, you know, girlfriends outside. He never brought any woman to my house.” (p183) Answering a question about why she stuck to him for over two decades despite the tumult she says, “Most likely because I know he’s honest and he’s really doing what he believes.” (p185) Remi confesses that Fela taught her humanity and how to forgive. This is something very positive and revealing as many perhaps would have thought of him as a man who loves trouble. About the things that irked or rubbed her wrong way about her man she admits, “His generosity is the first. This was in the past and sometimes now. And I think sometimes his humanity is misguided. I can be pretty hard with people. You hurt me; I can’t accept anything else from you. He’s made me change a bit and I don’t like that change, ‘cause if somebody does something to me I don’t want to talk to them again. But through Fela I’ve learnt to subdue that feeling.” (p185)

Many great and hard men are known to calm down where their loved one is concerned. Could Fela, with his public persona, be afraid of anyone? A man who took on systems and one brutal military government after another? The woman who should know him more than us all reveals, “I sometimes feel Fela’s a little bit afraid of me. I really do. He may never show it or admit it, but I feel it.” (p187) But that demonstrates that he was human after all.

There are so many more revelations about the lives of the women in Kalakuta Republic and many reasons as to why they married him. One of such was Kikelemo, who was asked what her ambition in life was, to which she replied, “I don’t know.” When asked, “What do you want to do in life?” she said, “I just like to be Fela’s wife.” (p228) He was such a captivating phenomenon.

Treasure trove

‘This Bitch of a Life’ is no doubt a well-written and researched documentation of the life of Fela. The long wait for its publication in Nigeria and Africa has been well worth it. The publishers, Cassava Republic, have really done well. If marketed well, this book will be one of their bestsellers. The publishers have turned out to be an outfit to look out for, as Cassava has become home to great books, such as Lola Shoneyin’s ‘The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives’, long listed for the prestigious Orange Prize, and Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani’s ‘I Do Not Come to You By Chance’, which won the Commonwealth regional prize.

However, there are some few typos that they need to correct in subsequent reprints. These include Calabaris instead of Kalabari (38), Buckner for Bucknor (p65), Zill Oniya for Zeal Onyia (p82), Urobho for Urhobo (p221), Ejor for Ijaw (p229), Beni for Bini (p234), and Shosanyu for Shosanyan (p237). Despite these little glitches, the book is a wonderful treasure trove that must be explored. Time spent reading through it is amply rewarded with a wealth of information and insights on one of Africa’s greatest exports and gifts to the world.

Producers of the Broadway musical, ‘Fela!’, donated N407,000 to Yeni Kuti after the last show of ‘Fela! In Lagos’, which took place on April 26, 2011. A representative of the producers announced, after the cast of the musical came out to take a bow, that the donation to Yeni Kuti was made “to show appreciation for her support and motherly role all through their stay in Nigeria.” An obviously emotional YK Power, as Kuti is fondly called, was on stage to receive the donation but couldn’t go through with her acceptance speech as she broke down in tears. As she was led away from the stage, her half-brother, Seun Kuti, held her in a warm embrace, wiping tears off her cheeks.

The final show of ‘Fela! In Lagos’ was attended by the Ghanaian vice president, John Dramani Mahama. He revealed that he grew up listening to the afrobeat legend, Fela, and hopes the producers of the Broadway musical will take it to Accra, too.

Cowell wants Paula Abdul, Cheryl Cole for ‘X Factor’

Simon Cowell wants his former ‘American Idol’ sparring partner Paula Abdul and British singer Cheryl Cole join him on the U.S. version of his TV talent contest ‘The X Factor’. But, the music impresario told entertainment industry website Deadline Hollywood, no deals have yet been signed to complete the lineup for the show, which is due to start airing on Fox television in September.

So far only the acid-tongued Briton himself and record executive Antonio “L.A.” Reid have been confirmed as judges on ‘X Factor’, which is offering a $5 million prize to the winner and a recording contract.

“I’ve always wanted Paula,” Cowell told Deadline Hollywood in an interview released on Sunday.

“I’ve never found anyone better than her. I think there’s a good chance it will be her. We’ve agreed we would meet with as many people as possible, and now [that] we’re reaching the deadline we’ve got to make the decision soon. But I think she’s got a really good shot,” he said.

eLDee denies plans to start new music association

Ace music producer and performing artist eLDee has denied any intention of forming a new musical association to rival the Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria (PMAN). Speaking in an exclusive conversation with X2, the former Trybesmen member revealed that, contrary to speculations that younger musicians want to form a new union — since their visit to a PMAN meeting in Osogbo earlier this year was perceived as an intrusion — they will only act as a pressure group.

“We have no intention of forming a new musicians’ association,” the Trybes Records boss said. “We went to Osogbo asking to be involved in PMAN’s activities, but they said we were being used by Tony Okoroji to come and collect the money the federal government promised to pump into the entertainment industry. Can you see the type of mentality they have?” eLDee said disappointedly.

“Since they don’t want us involved, we will continue to act as a pressure group and continue to pursue our right to copyright protection and payment of royalties as a pressure group.” eLDee, who made 2009 hit song ‘Big Boy’, also denies the accusation that the trip to Oshogbo was sponsored by Tony Okoroji for personal gains. “Am I a kid that someone will be using?” eLDee asked dismissingly.

Earlier this year, mainstream acts including eLDee, Chocolate City rapper M.I, and Empire Mate Entertainment boss Banky W, visited the venue of a PMAN convention in Oshogbo and it was reported that the current executives of the association did not welcome their presence. Earlier this month, eLDee launched the ‘Top Talent’ initiative to help develop young music hopefuls.

These are the results so far from the governorship elections. We will update as soon as more results are confirmed.

While waxing eloquent about the necessity of preserving our nation's "natural heritage," he had not a word for the millions of Christians celebrating Easter in America and around the world.

The American Family Association believes this was an intentional act of disrespect.

This is consistent with other egregious examples of disregard for our Christian heritage on the president's part, such as omitting "Creator" from the Declaration of Independence, which he has done on at least three occasions.

The president has shown far more interest in promoting Islam than his own self-proclaimed Christian faith, the faith of our Founding Fathers.

The president has been devoted to issuing statements marking all major Muslim holidays, which are of no historical significance to the United States whatsoever. He has released statements in honor of Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha, holidays which most Americans cannot pronounce and certainly do not celebrate.

More glaringly, President Obama made no mention of Good Friday or Easter in his weekly address to the nation on Saturday.

Even the secular media noted this inexcusable slighting of the Christian faith. When asked about it, the president's spokesman, Jay Carney, answered mockingly by saying, "I'm glad you're asking me these important questions, guys." (See video of Mr. Carney's comments here.)

TAKE ACTION

Please let the White House know that these are in fact "important questions" because they go directly to the heart of our fundamental values as a people and to the issue of whether our president shares those values.

Enter your zip code and click "GO" to email the White House to express your outrage that President Obama showed such blatant disrespect for the most sacred day on the Christian calendar.

 The Real Benefits of Detox

So what are the benefits of detox? What does detox actually means? Detox is a bodily process that transforms health threatening toxic substances from our environment, diets, as well as our own bodies into something harmless or excreted.

One of the most complex detoxification functions is against heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadminum, nickel, arsenic, and aluminum.

Our body’s main detoxification organs and systems are liver, colon, kidneys, gallbladder, lungs, skin, lymph, and blood. They help rid your body of wastes and toxins. However, our bodily functions were designed when the world were less polluted.

But now with a world with much more toxins and pollution, our body organs and systems have to work a lot harder to rid the exponentially increased waste and toxins.

Yet we are helping in anyway to our organs and systems to do their job more effectively. Imagine overworked workers who are also not provided with enough food for every meal.

This will definitely tire them out and their efficient and effective work performance will naturally drop. This leads to work not fully accomplished or even worse undone.

We are treating our body in the same manner. We are not providing the body organs and systems with proper nutrition to function and perform their best even though they are working much harder than before.

This simple concept of detox is to achieve these aspects: 

• 
  
• Reduce the amount of toxins and pollution into our body to lessen the burden against the detoxification organs
• Promote healthy eating, nutrition and supplementation to help our body effectively clear the toxins
• 
  

Great Benefits of Detox:

• Improve our Immune Function
• Scavenge free radicals and eliminate toxins
• Strengthen body’s fight against cancer cells and generate healthy cells in our body
• Cleanse mucous, congestion, fermentation, inflammation in our digestive tract
• Purify our blood
• Reform our lifestyle addictions for sugar, salt, high glycemic carbohydrates, alcohol, junk foods, nicotine, etc

From the 2 objectives and various benefits provide a strong healing process for our body. They strengthen our body to further cleanse out waste we have accumulated since childhood that has resulted in our body being congested, inflamed, and damaged.

Once our body are not kept busy dealing with all these cleansing process, it can its focus on doing the more important things like fighting back cancer and chronic degenerative diseases, restoring our health, and repairing the damage in our body.

Borno, Nigeria (CNN) -- Nigeria will proceed with national gubernatorial elections Tuesday, despite continuing violence that has raised fears that an Islamist group will step up attacks against voters.

Bomb blasts Monday in Nigeria's northeastern state of Borno killed three people and wounded dozens, police said.

In one of three blasts, a bomb thrown from a motorcycle on which two young men were riding detonated, resulting in the three fatalities, said Michael Zukoma, police commissioner for Borno state.

Nigerian police told CNN that Boko Haram, an Islamist sect that has challenged Nigeria's government, is responsible for the attacks, which they described as an attempt to intimidate voters who this month re-elected President Goodluck Jonathan, an Ijaw Christian from the south.

The explosions occurred a day after the Nigerian Red Cross reported that rural villages had held mass burials in northern Nigeria. Witnesses say that violence in the wake of Jonathan's election has resulted in hundreds of deaths, though there is no official death toll. The government has provided few details.

This month's election of Jonathan, who is from the majority-Christian southern part of the country, sparked violence in the Muslim-dominated north last week.

Concerns about ongoing violence led Nigerian election officials last week to delay the planned gubernatorial elections in two of Nigeria's 36 states. Voters in Kaduna and Bauchi states will go to the polls Thursday.

Northern Muslims in some areas charged that the presidential election was rigged. Armed protesters in the region took to the streets chanting the name of former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari, the main opposition front-runner.

The last election, four years ago, was widely condemned for rampant vote rigging, violence, theft of ballot boxes and intimidation.

While this month's presidential election was marred by violence, reports of underage voting and logistical problems, observers said they considered it an improvement.

After he was declared the victor, Jonathan warned that persistent post-election violence could threaten the stability of the country.

"These acts of mayhem are sad reminders of the events which plunged our country into 30 months of an unfortunate civil war," Jonathan said last week.

Jonathan was referring to a period of unrest in the 1960s that spawned a civil war in Nigeria.

Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer and its most populous nation, with 150 million people.
