A poem written by late radio broadcaster, Tosyn Bucknor which predicted
her death has surfaced online. The 37-year-old radio personality was
reportedly found dead by her husband, Aurelien Boyer on Monday night and
her elder sister Olufunke Bucknor confirmed that she died due to
complications from sickle cell. However, the late OAP had written a poem
which had gone viral, few days before her death, urging her friends and
family not to cry when she’s gone but shed tears for themselves. Tosyn
also said that she felt no fear for death and that’s why she lived her
life the way she did. The poem reads; ‘’Prize I’ve earned since my
birth, my vow to leave a lasting voice after I was ‘’I look into the
future and see me cease, I feel no fear, my face won’t even cease ‘’My
steps on this earth, a testament to life leaving this place filled with
strife ‘’Don’t cry for me, shed tears for yourself for each date you
acquire gives you a little less. ‘’Now I know why I live the way I do
Any why my mistakes, no second look ‘’If I live my life according to
their pace what’s my price in life’s meaningless race? ‘’Too much odds
stacked against this fierce soul, so each hour, all I do is attain my
goals ‘’Spent a lot of days searching for purpose, Then I put my
thoughts into poetry and prose ‘’This is why I was put in this world,
be a voice, Put emotions in words ‘’For every tear I shed and times my
eye smiled, someone will have known every option I tried. ‘’This
cowardly heart felt fear not death Prize I’ve earned since my birth
‘’My vow to leave a lasting voice after I was Find a loyal number to
keep fighting my cause ‘’Here lies she who lived short but well No
regrets for her, but all her story tell”.

The Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) has rejected the presidential
manifestos made public by the presidential candidates of both the All
Progressive Congress, President Buhari and that of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. COSON said that after reading
both the #NextLevelNG manifesto of the APC and #TheAtikuPlan manifesto
of the PDP, it is shocked that none of the candidates appears to have a
plan to grow or develop the immense talent that exist in the Nigerian
creative industry such as music, movies, theatre, fashion, content etc
an area in which the Nigerian nation has significant comparative
advantage and the youth have tremendous flair for. COSON has said that
the lack of strong policy positions in this area is evidence of the
disconnect between the leadership and the followership in Nigeria. This
is not withstanding the significant contribution said to have been made
by the Nigerian creative industry when the Nigerian economy was rebased a
few years ago under the Jonathan administration. COSON has announced
that the organization is inviting serious politicians to the COSON Arena
to come and educate stakeholders in the creative industry on the
concrete plans that they have to deploy the assets that the country has
in this creative direction. It is the interaction of the industry with
the politicians that will determine whom the thousands of members of
COSON will endorse, support and campaign for and recommend to their fans
to vote for. Speaking on the decision, COSON Chairman, Chief Tony
Okoroji said, “we are no longer going to stand on the sidelines. This is
the era of the knowledge and creative economy and we will do whatever
is necessary to make sure that our country is not just an onlooker in
this new world but a key partaker and serious player, starting from
2019. We mean business”The post

Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has asked
Nigerians to be patient with the ruling party, saying the party indeed
promised change in 2014 when it was campaigning but that it never
promised to effect the changes within four years.Fashola said this at
the inauguration of President Buhari’s 2019 campaign in Ikeja, Lagos
State on Tuesday November 20th.“In 2014, we said we would change Nigeria
but we did not say we will do it in four years. This election therefore
is a choice between going forward to the next level or backward because
the work has already begun.Since I became a minister, the president has
never interfered in what I do. He has never lobbied me for contract and
I can assure you that it is like that with other ministers.The oil
revenue the former government took advantage of, what did they use it
for?” he askedSpeaking further, Fashola took a swipe at the main
opposition party, PDP. According to him, the opposition would not have
lost the election in 2015 if they had performed very well.“We have
watched what happened in 16 years of nothing to show. Some people are
trying to rewrite history now. You don’t sack a good employee. If they
are living in delusion and say it was good governance, why did they lose
the job? In 2017, the budget on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was cut
from N30 billion to N10 billion. You know who was presiding
(then).“Buhari has inaugurated an infrastructure development fund to
ensure that Lagos-Ibadan, Second Niger Bridge and Abuja to Kano Road
would never suffer funding problem again. Just yesterday, the two
contractors on the Lagos Ibadan Expressway got a total of N15 billion to
continue the work. The same thing is true of the Ikorodu-Sagamu Road.
That road, for 16 years, was nothing to write about.”The post

increased internet access to the poorest in the society. The
information is contained in the Next Level Campaign Guide for 2019.
According to the guide, the efforts of government in the past few years
enabled internet access and promoted local content, especially among
Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of government. It stated
that “following the Vice President’s visit to Silicon Valley, U.S.,
where he visited the headquarters of some leading global technology
companies, he met Google officials. He met with Google Chief Executive
Officer, Sundar Pichai, and its top executives in July and the global
tech company now provides free Wi-fi access in several public places in
Nigeria. This initiative will bridge societal gaps by providing free
internet access to some of the poorest in the society. It will grant
access to information, tools of education, improved business and job
opportunities and expansion for many Nigerians.” It further said that
the free internet access was in line with the administration’s plan to
improve the country’s technology sector and leverage on the gains that a
data-driven digital economy could offer. It added that Information
