Davido Is A Brilliant And Obedient Student – H.O.D

Olusegun Ojuola, the Head of Music Department,Babcock University has described Davido as a billiant and obedient student. Until his graduation yesterday,Davido was a lone student in his department and was taught by Mr Ojuola.
Speaking to the NETng at the convocation of the music star on Sunday, June 7, 2015, Ojuola said:
‘Well, the first thing I try to do is to dichotomise the artiste from the student. The Davido I know is an artiste, but the student I admitted into the department is Adedeji David Adeleke and the relationship has been like that all through.’
‘But I can tell you this much, that David is a very very brilliant and very obedient student. When I say Obedient, you can see that in terms of humility. Anytime David is in school, he knows he’s in school as a student.’…

Bukola Saraki denies disrespecting Osinbajo, releases statement

Press statement released by Senator Bukola Saraki discrediting media reports that he disrespected Vice President Osinbajo and referred to him as a mere commissioner. The press statement signed by his media aide, Bamikole Omishore below...

The attention of Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki's media office has been drawn to a publication by an online tabloid which insinuated that "Senator Saraki Boycotts APC Leadership Meeting To be Chaired by VP Osinbajo" We wish to categorically state that up to this very point 10:50pm, 8th of June 2015, senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki is yet to receive any official invitation from His Excellency Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria or through any other source for any meeting; political, social or otherwise.

Understanding the importance of last minute consultation required for the inauguration of the 8th Assembly, Senator Saraki has been attending to meetings with colleagues and friends on the program for the 8th assembly. 

Senator Saraki having being in public service in different capacity knows the importance of respecting the office and person of the Vice President. And therefore advise those spreading false news to cease and desist. Senator Saraki therefore, uses this opportunity to assure His Excellency, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President of Federal Republic of Nigeria of his highest regards.

Opinion: Do You Think Phyno is the best rapper in Nigeria?

 

Do You Think That Phyno Is The Best Rapper of the year and In Nigeria?

Listening to Man of the Year (Obago) reminds of TuPac. I think he’s the most talented rapper in Nigeria. The way he combines swagg and street cred is a beauty to behold. If you ask me, I’ll place him above the likes of MI, Olamide and Ice Prince (who can’t even freestyle) and gladly declare him the best rapper in Nigeria.
