Not less than 300 students - players, male and
female from 16 Nigerian Universities would later this
month storm the Redemption camp of Redeemed
Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Lagos to
participate in a sports fiesta which is part of the
74th birthday anniversary of Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
The games (Volley Ball and Futsal competitions), is
to run from Monday February 29 to March 5th.
Speaking at a press
conference in Lagos
yesterday to
announce the
commencement of
the Games, the
Director of Sports,
Redeemer’s Sports
Directorate, RCCG,
Paul Bankole,
explained that the
games, which would
be guided by 70
officials, would be
sponsored by the
Governors of Ondo
and Lagos States,
Olusegun Mimiko
and Akinwumi
Ambode, who are the spiritual sons of the RCCG
General Overseer.
Bankole, while defending the choice of Volleyball
and Futsal games for the celebration said it is to
underscore the the importance of the game of
volleyball to the General Overseer, who played and
coached the sport while he was at the University.
He said aside the economic and health importance
of these games, Futsal and foot volley can be easily
played by everyone, everywhere - outdoor and on the
grass.
“Our G. O played volleyball and also became
volleyball coach when he was at the University of
Lagos for his Masters. At 74 he is still active. He
still talks and demonstrates some skills even in
boxing, another sport he also featured in as a
student.”
He said he had no doubt that the games is capable
of producing future Olympians.
‘We are aware that there are thousands of potential
Olympic stars and we believe with the backing of
NOC we will produce these athletes”, he stated.
Rihanna delayed the start of a world
tour days after the R&B star missed the Grammys,
citing an illness that affected her voice.
The first scheduled show on Rihanna's "Anti" tour is
now March 12 in Jacksonville, Florida, according to her
website and notices from venues.
Rihanna had previously been due to open the tour on
February 26 in San Diego, but has postponed eight
shows.
The singer abruptly canceled a performance on Monday
at the Grammys, the music industry's top awards.
Her representative said at the time that the Barbados-
born singer had fallen ill and was under doctor's orders
to rest her vocal cords to avoid permanent damage.
A representative did not immediately respond to a
request for comment Thursday.
Rihanna is scheduled to end the tour on August 12 in
Zurich.
The Barbados-born singer toured extensively in 2013
and then briefly the following year with Eminem, but
had since kept a lower profile.
She returned to the scene last month with "Anti," her
first full-length album since 2012.

Some two decades ago, Prince re-named himself
with an unpronounceable symbol and scrawled
"SLAVE" on his cheek in a feud with Warner Bros
Records. He spent lavishly on unreleased creative
projects and he put out a video game. Then he sang
about sex, betrayal and a higher purpose on 1995's
"The Gold Experience," asking: "What's the use of
money if you ain't gonna break the mold?"
Wealth and singular pop chart success left an
eccentric, sometimes rude Midwestern musical
genius in his late 30s searching for a fresh challenge,
a new struggle.
Flash forward to Kanye West, who has poured his
creative energy and millions into an Adidas fashion
line. He made public appeals for help with an
ambitious string of non-music ventures. He wore a
full-face mask while performing for most of his
"Yeezus" concert tour. He worked on a video game.
And yes, he raps and sings on "The Life of Pablo,"
released online over the weekend, about sex, betrayal
and a higher purpose.
Like the music Prince released early in his symbol
phase, West's seventh solo album isn't as instantly
catchy or cohesive as his earlier work. But it's
consistently interesting and full of feeling, with off-
kilter hip-hop soundscapes and lyrics that pivot
suddenly from generous spirituality to crass insults.
Their tools are vastly different, of course: Where the
Purple One is famously self-contained, the Louis
Vuitton Don now creates like a Hollywood film
director, overseeing a massive team of writers,
producers and other collaborators all working to
realize his vision.
This 18-track collection feels impressively personal,
and warm, compared to the aggressively glitchy
"Yeezus," West's pre-fatherhood primal scream of an
album from three years ago. He repeatedly
references his family and reveals wryly humorous
self-awareness that's often missing in those famed
Twitter rants and TV appearances. "I guess I get
what I deserve, don't I?" he laments about an
absence of "Real Friends." On "Feedback," he
acknowledges, "I've been out of my mind a long
time." Rhyming as a fan at the album's halfway
point," West raps "I miss the old Kanye ... I hate the
new Kanye."
Among mainstream hip-hop artists, West stands out
for his commitment to continually evolving and
expanding both his own sound and the genre as a
whole. That's evident even in the weakest sections
of "Pablo." West sounds both rejuvenated and
challenged by young musicians like Chance the
Rapper and Future soundalike Desiigner, whose song
"Panda," released just months ago, is sampled
alongside a 1970s gospel recording on the dense
two-parter "Father Stretch My Hands."
West's calling card is smartly utilizing such
unexpected samples, from Arthur Russell's soulful
murmurs on the sublime "30 Hours" to the album-
opening snippet of a 4-year-old girl's boisterous
prayer, pulled from an Instagram post. A bassline
then gurgles abruptly under a soaring gospel choir
and praise-filled contributions from Chance, Kelly
Price and Kirk Franklin, while West declares "this is a
God dream."
That song, "Ultralight Beam," sets a high bar that the
rest of the album doesn't quite reach. Chris Brown
sings strongly over layers of ethereal vocals on
"Waves," but the tune doesn't go anywhere. West's
auto-tuned humming make the otherwise haunting
"Wolves" feel incomplete.
Compared to West's 2010 masterpiece "My Beautiful
Dark Twisted Fantasy," there's too much lyrical
sloppiness on "Pablo," possibly stemming from a
falling-out with longtime ghostwriter Rhymefest.
While West still delivers laugh-and-cringe one-liners
(that Taylor Swift dig on "Famous") and aspirational
exhortation ("Highlights"), he seems overly proud of
many run-of-the-mill couplets, repeating them for
emphasis but to no effect.
Still, "Pablo" finds our most provocative modern hip-
hop star evolving yet again, flexing his nerdy crate-
digging bona fides alongside tabloid-ready call-outs
and relentless ambition. He refuses to sell what's
already been sold.

his brother/ manager , Jude Okoye has escalated.
He responded to his brother who said that he
needs prayers.
Pop star Peter Okoye repled his brother , and told
Jude that he needs God.
Peter had earlier said that he is tired of Psquare
being managed by their senior brother Jude Okoye.
He took to Twitter and stated that he wants his
older brother Jude Okoye fired from managing
Psquare.
In a series of tweets from the 34-year-old he ranted
against his older brother and manager Jude Okoye
while remaining loyal to his brother and singing
partner Paul Okoye.
You said I need Prayers! Bro you need GOD!

The 38-year-old rapper - who last weekend claimed he
owes $53 million in bills - has taken to Twitter to
demand education be made cheaper in America after
revealing one of his pals earns $370 a day but has to
fork out $400 for one school text book for her child.
West - who has two children, daughter North, two, and
two-month-old son Saint with wife Kim Kardashian
West - wrote in a Twitter rant: ''I have a friend who
works really hard and makes $370 dollars a day... ''Her
son just got in a really good school and his textbooks
are like $400 dollars each ... ''I mean, his mom has to
work 2 days just to afford 1 book for her son ... ''she's
giving everything she has to make sure her son has a
better future...
''Steve Jobs wanted to lower the cost of textbooks...
''Education puts Americans into debt before they even
get a chance to get started... ''We have to lower the
price of textbooks... ''I'd rather teachers got paid more
and books cost less ... #2020 (sic)''
West's 2020 hashtag appears to be a reference to his
previously announced plans to run for President of the
United States in four years. West made the
announcement at the MTV Video Music Awards last
year, and shortly afterwards current President Barack
Obama gave him a few words of advice.
Appearing to refer to West's reality TV star wife Kim,
he said: ''In case Kanye's serious about this whole
POTUS thing, or as he calls it, Peezy, I do have advice
for him; ''You've got to deal with strange characters
who behave as if they are on a reality TV show. So
you've got to be cool with that.''
Brother and manager of Peter Okoye, Jude
Okoye, has responded to his brother's tweets that
called for his sack as P-square manager.
Jude Okoye responded to his brother's tweets by
saying that P-square fans should pray for Peter
Okoye, because he has gone through a lot lately.
Jude Okoye didn't reveal what Peter Okoye had
recently gone through, although he might be referring
to Peter Okoye's health issues that plagued him a
few weeks ago.
Jude Okoye went for treatment in England, and also
used it to promote his sports management company.

Yesterday night (February 16) pop star Peter
Okoye took to Twitter and stated that he wants
his older brother Jude Okoye fired from
managing Psquare.
In a series of tweets from the 34-year-old he
ranted against his older brother and manager
Jude Okoye while remaining loyal to his brother
and singing partner Paul Okoye.
" I don't have a problem with Paul but the management "
tweeted Peter Okoye » . " My loyalty for psquare and
the fans still remains 100% " he stated before adding " A
manager is been employed by the artiste not the other
way round. #truthBeTold. "
The relationship between the brothers Peter Okoye and
Jude Okoye has broken down to the extent that the
singer tweeted a disclaimer stating that whoever does
business with North Side Entertainment on behalf of
Psquare is at his or her own risk.
" Pls who so ever makes any transaction with Northside
Entertainment or Jude Okoye on Psquare's behalf does
so at their on risk. #warning. " If you are still doubting
that Peter Okoye is fed up of Jude Okoye the pop star
also tweeted this about the family run business " Family
business can be pain in the a$$. "
Read Peter Okoye's tweets below;
Jude Okoye and Paul Okoye have not reacted or
responded to Peter Okoye's rant last night.
Jude Okoye has been the manager of Psquare since
the group came into existence. On his Instagram page
Jude Okoye's bio reads " President/C.E.O Northside Inc.
Managers of Psquare & Cynthia Morgan . "
This is the second time in two years that the Psquare
brand has been involved in a public rift of sorts. In
April, 2014 there were strong rumours that Peter
Okoye and Paul Okoye had split » .
It was reported that Peter Okoye refused to do
anything with Psquare because he reportedly felt his
input and contributions were not being seriously
considered. Some reports went as far as saying that a
lawyer had been summoned to split the Psquare
fortune into two so that Peter Okoye could walk away.
Cooler heads prevailed and the twins were persuaded
be one again. They released their sixth studio album
'Double Trouble' after the split fiasco.
A Japanese play rehearsal took a tragic turn
Monday, when an actor was stabbed in the stomach
with a samurai sword.
33-year old Daigo Kashino was rushed to hospital
where he later died.
The actor was in a rehearsal session at a studio in
Koto, Tokyo, when he was pierced in the abdomen
"with a sword-like object" during an action scene.
The other actors reportedly heard him groan and
turned to discover him hunched over but no one saw
exactly what happened.
Police are now investigating whether his death was an
accident or a criminal act.
Rapper 50 Cent has attacked Australian boxer Billy
Dib, labelling the boxer ‘ungrateful’ and claiming TV
network HBO deemed him ‘unwatchable’ after Dib
publicly accused the rapper of owing him $1m.
According to Dailymail, Dib was one of 50 Cent’s first
clients when he launched a boxing promotions
company in July 2012, however their
relationship turned sour when the business went
bankrupt and the Australian claimed he was owed
more than $1m.
Dib, whose wife Sara died from cancer last September,
will make his return to the ring against Thailand’s
Sukkasem Kietyongyuth in a super-featherweight bout
on February 26 at Sydney’s Emporium Function Centre.
In the lead-up to his return to fighting later this month,
the former IBF world champion labelled the venture
with the rapper his ‘worst career move’, prompting 50
Cent – born Curtis James Jackson III – to hit back via
Instagram.
A heart carved into red rock is
drawing the attention of authorities in Arizona who are
investigating to see if actress Vanessa Hudgens is the
culprit.
Hudgens posted a photo of the carving, bearing the
names Vanessa and Austin, on her Instagram page
Sunday but later removed it. Other photos with the
hash tag "sedonadreams" still appeared on the site
Tuesday.
The media brought the photo to the attention of the
Coconino National Forest, which manages land around
Sedona renowned for the towering red rocks,
spokesman Brady Smith said. Authorities are
investigating the incident, he said Tuesday.
A representative for Hudgens, 27, did not immediately
respond to messages left by The Associated Press.
Hudgens recently appeared on Fox's live production of
"Grease." She's best known for her role as Gabriella
Montez in the "High School Musical" television show
and movie
Smith said he isn't sure whether law enforcement has
located a heart that matches the one posted by
Hudgens within the forest's 250 square-mile Red Rock
Ranger District. Authorities will be researching social
media posts and trying to contact any witnesses, he
said.
Damaging a natural feature on U.S. Forest Service land
is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail
and a maximum $5,000 fine. Smith said he's unaware
of any signs in the district to inform people of the law.
Forest officials try to maintain the natural beauty of
the area, he said.
"People make mistakes whether knowingly or
unknowingly," Smith said.
Nollywood star actress, Omotola Jalade-
Ekeinde has officially launched a new event center
in Lagos, reports Nigerian Entertainment Today( NET)
She also used the occasion to mark her birthday in
Nigeria and celebrate with few friends and family.
The unveiling was attended by top Nigerian celebs
including Denrele Edun, Bimbo Akintola, Freeze
amongst others.
The event centre, named ‘Double Doors’ is situated,
at Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way in Ikeja and is already
opened for business.
Media celebrity Denrele Edun, 32, visited
Goldie's graveside three years after her untimely
death.
Denrele Edun who was Goldie's best friend before
she died shared images of him at her graveside
paying his respects.
Goldie (Susan Harvey) passed away on February 14,
2013 after coming back from The Grammys in Los
Angeles.
She visited Denrele Edun after she landed in Nigerian
and started complaining of a serious headache.
Denrele Edun rushed her to the hospital where she
passed away. After her autopsy it was discovered
she died as a result of intra-cerebellar hemorrhage
caused by hypertensive heart disease.
The Instagram user wrote “ This is the ugliest woman on
earth so pitifully pitiful for her. What a shame to
womanhood ."
Kate Henshaw did not waste any time in clapping back
the abusive Instagram user by calling him a
‘chimpanzee’.
“ Chimpanzee escaped from the zoo!! That’s what you
are…will inform the zoo keeper that one of its animals
escaped” fired back Kate Henshaw.
Kate Henshaw also said that there will be ‘no chill’
this year for abusive Instagram users.
In December Kate Henshaw appointed as the Special
Adviser to the Governor of Cross Rivers State,
Governor Benedict Ayade.
With her political appointment do you think it was right
for Kate Henshaw to lash out at the abusive Instagram
user.
Posting too many "selfies" on social media might
lead to serious problems with your romantic partner,
according to a new study.
Researchers conducted an online survey of 420 users
of the social media site Instagram. The users were
aged 18 to 62. The investigators found that those
who believed they were good-looking were more likely
to post selfies, which are photographic self-portraits.
But the more selfies someone posted, the more likely
the behaviour was tied to jealousy and arguments in
their romantic relationship, along with emotional or
physical infidelity, breakups and divorces, the
findings showed.
"Although we cannot directly assume cause-and-
effect due to the [study's design], the results here
show that body-image satisfaction can be detrimental
to Instagram users' romantic relationships, especially
when users' body-image satisfaction is promoted in
the form of Instagram selfie posts," study co-author
Russell Clayton, an assistant professor at Florida
State University in Tallahassee, said in a school news
release.
The study was published recently in the journal
Cyberpsychology, Behaviour, and Social Networking .
According study author Jessica Ridgway, "the results
from this study provide an avenue for future body-
image research". Ridgway is a visiting professor of
retail merchandising and product development at
Florida State.
"For instance," she said in the news release, "future
research could examine whether social media users
post images of their actual selves or their virtual
ideal selves, and whether such online behaviours are
associated with similar negative outcomes found in
our study."
Taylor Swift's official switch from
country to pop with her multi-hit, best-selling "1989"
album brought the singer her second Grammy Award
win for album of the year.
Swift was shocked when she won the night's top
prize, beating out Kendrick Lamar, Chris Stapleton,
Alabama Shakes and the Weeknd. Swift used her
speech to encourage young women who feel
defeated at times or discouraged by others.
"There will be people along the way that will try to
undercut your success or take credit for your
accomplishments or your fame. You just focus on the
work and don't let those people sidetrack you," she
said.
Her speech could be directed partly to Kanye West,
who recently said in a new song that he made Swift
famous after he stole her microphone at the 2009
MTV Video Music Awards.
Beyonce also seemed to make a statement when she
presented the final award for the night, record of the
year.
"Art is the unapologetic celebration of culture
through self-expression. It can impact people in a
variety of ways for different reasons at different
times. Some will react. Some will respond. And some
will be moved," she said, seeming to speak to those
who were critical of her Super Bowl performance of
the anthem, "Formation."
Swift, who won the album of the year Grammy for
"Fearless" in 2009, walked away Monday with three
awards, including best pop vocal album and music
video for "Bad Blood," at the Staples Center in Los
Angeles.
Alabama Shakes also won three awards, though
Lamar was the night's big winner with five.
He won best rap album for "To Pimp a Butterfly" as
well as rap performance, rap song, rap/sung
performance and music video. Along with his wins,
Lamar also had a show-stopping moment when he
took the stage.
He started as he appeared beaten, in handcuffs, with
chains around his hands and a bruise on his eyes. He
went on to fuse rap, jazz, reggae and African sounds
for a commanding performance as he rapped "The
Blacker the Berry" and the Grammy-nominated
"Alright" passionately. He ended with a map of Africa,
and the city of Compton imprinted in it.
"Hip-hop, Ice Cube, this for hip-hop, this for Snoop
Dogg ...this for Nas. We will live forever, believe
that," said Lamar onstage when he won best rap
album.
