20 Injured As Rival Youths Clash In Edo

No fewer than 20 persons were on
Friday wounded in a clash between
rival youths at Ikpeshi community in Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo.
The clash cropped up following a
disagreement over who should collect levies from vehicle loaders in the community on behalf of the local government council.
Several residents fled from the
community because of the clash, while properties worth millions of naira were destroyed during the conflict.
An eyewitness, Mr Abbe Oboh, said that the crisis started when one faction wanted to take over the collection of levies from the other group.
"The other faction refused and this led to a shootout among the youths,'' he said. Oboh said that the deployment of personnel from the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad (SARS) the state police command, however, aided efforts to bring the situation under control.
Mr Joseph Akerejola, the Chairman of Akoko Edo Local Government Council, said that normalcy had been restored to the area.
"The police are on top of the situation and everything is under control. "The perpetrators of the crisis would, however, be brought to book,'' he vowed.

I'm Single & I Never Proposed To Beverly - Flavour N'abania

Nigerian high life musician, Flavour

There were claims that the high life
maestro was actually dating one Beverly Heels and it was reported that she even confirmed her engagement to him.
He was even said to have dedicated a song to his fiancee.

See what he said to Encomium magazine when asked if he's engaged to Beverly Heels:

"It is not true. I never proposed to
anybody. I am still single. Marriage

career.

'My Obituary' - By Charly Boy

A new article as written by Charles
Oputa; "My Obituary."
Right about now, some of the readers will question the sense in capturing and casting this type of crazy captions for my
articles. I only write for those who are patient enough to understand the creative beauty of my mind. I write for those who have depth enough to see beyond what they see, those who have a
discerning mind.
However, if your curiosity has gotten the better of you, then read on.
I am about to take up a subject no one really wants any part of, but that's alright, this is where our imagination runs apart. For a brief second, imagine this: if your life were to end today, what
would your obituary read? Come on; don't get frightened, thinking about your obituary will not kill you. Nothing escapes the Creator's cycle; not plants,
not animals, nor human beings. All living things emerge, gather, spark new life, fall apart and die.
The purpose of all of this is not to scare you about death which is inevitable, but to expose you to a new information or rather, share a certain mindset with you
that may help you live with humility and aliveness that only an acceptance of death can release.
'My Obituary' is meant to prick your
mind to start being fully conscious of the moments you are alive.

Every moment of our lives, we are
knowingly or unknowingly writing a line for our obituary. Every action or inaction provides memories of us to those we eventually leave behind; they are the memories that the people we love and leave behind will want to include in the
telling of our life's story.

Within the first quarter of this year, I lost a good friend and cousin, Mr. Emeka Aseme to kidnappers; he was butchered and killed in cold blood. My whole village
was not only scandalized by the
senseless killing but till today, the 'Blue Lake City' of Oguta has lost the shine it had as a city of bubbling happy go lucky people.
Emeka was a good man who provided employment for hundreds of Oguta people, he was sociable, liked by all and
sundry (or so we thought). Even though Oguta had a lot of industrious sons and daughters, Emeka's legacies stand out.
He cared about his people, he gave a helping hand, and he was sensitive to people's conditions.
Now that he's no more, all we have to say of him (his obituary) are his good deeds, what he contributed to the betterment of his fellow man, especially his kinsmen.

What would yours read like, now that all you know is 'Me, Myself & I'? What legacy are you living today, is it different from the one you will want to leave behind?
Some people live as if they will be here forever, not giving a hoot about what happens to the next person. If it's not their immediate personal/family gratification, it does not concern them.
Mind you, I'm not saying you should not care about your welfare and that of your family o (if you know the AreaFada well
you will know that my family remains my ROCK).

However, I still make an ample
proportion of my time to fighting the course of our youth and being the Voice of the Voiceless. And this gives me joy and fulfillment. For me, it is what keeps
blood flowing in my veins, puts the
sparkle in my eyes and springs in my steps...despite the unfavourable state of the terrain. Wetin man go do?
You are the author of your own Obituary, so tell me. Are you writing a history of misery, or a tale of tenacity? Were youbinclusive and supportive? Or were you exclusively out for yourself alone, you selfish bloke. Did you lift others up, or did you allow them to knock you down?
Did you stay down long enough to
recover, or did you stay down
complaining and winning. What will your Obituary say about the way you treated people and how you made them feel about themselves. Most importantly what will your Obituary say about how you treated yourself? What will be said about your attitude, how you handled yourself in crisis. Perhaps now is the time to consider how you are living and what you want to be said about you when you are not. Your life provides the content of your Obituary, so my guy, check yourself and park well.

For me, I came, I saw, I did it my way, had fun and boned everyone who thought it wasn't possible. That's my Obituary. I'm still here though, for the longer haul!

Has Funke Akindele Found Love Again?

Nollywood Star Actress Funke
Akindele, a.k.a Jenifa, after a
tumultuous first marriage which
recently crashed , has found love
again and this is according to MJ
Celebrity Magazine.
Jenifer's secret love is allegedly for an aide to former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.
Jenifer is said to be deeply in love with the new foundman.

According to the magazine:

Funke Akindele went the extra mile
recently by procuring a Honda car for the lucky Bode, who was though an aide to former governor, but not as rich to have
procured a car for himself. The love for Bode has totally overwhelmed Funke as
she is so in fun and proud of the new found love.
If Funke is richer than Bode as reported by our source, definitely, the star actress must have learnt how to love and love indeed having suffered a setback in his first marriage to a ready-made rich polygamous man.
