Nigerian
rapper, Olamide and Lil Kesh, are currently under fire for their new
song which most people believe is promoting ritual killings and illegal
means to make money. The song titled 'Logo Benz' has lyrics like “If
money no enter i go do blood money” and Nigerians aren't finding it
funny at all.Why is the new Lil Kesh and Olamide song
promoting/glorifying ritual killings/blood money?? Why must you use
terrible lyrics like this??“If money no enter i go do blood money”There
needs to be a line that you can’t cross when it comes to lyrics in
music. This is one of them.— DaddyMO ♠ (@officialdaddymo) December 20,

generalThis new song with lil kesh is just rubbishWhat kinda lyrics is
this ?“If money no enter i go do blood money”Are you freaking kidding me
? ? ?Super wow !Nah! Olamide is canceled!— Terry (@Terrybrainz)
December 20, 2018This Olamide and Lil Kesh song is painful to listen to.
A song that glorifies rituals, internet fraud and blood money. What
does "If money no enter, I go do blood money" mean? That song will get
across to millions of youth, that's the worst part. There is no excuse
for this.— Isima Odeh (@IsimaOdeh) December 20, 2018~ Reason why likes
of Reminisce, Jhybo & Seriki will come first for me before any
rapper that claims to be king of street.Being street doesn’t make you
insensitive via lyrics -“If money no enter, I go do blood money” -

Trouble Maker (G.O) (@ObongRoviel) December 20, 2018“If money no enter I
go do blood money”LOL I have been shouting for years but people seem
unbothered. Can we all come together and tell Olamide and Lil Kesh that
"enough is enough"???If they want to perish, they should perish alone
and not drag other youths along.— Bhadmus Hakeem (@Bhadoosky) December
20, 2018At this moment, Olamide and Lil kesh are toxic to the music
industry.— Alhaji ROYZ (@royzkingin) December 20, 2018Suddenly,
Nigerians are woke. Falz spoke against Yahoo boys & praising illegal
acts sometimes ago & majority came for him and labeled him a
privileged child. Lil kesh & Olamide just remixed what 9ice said
sometimes ago which was glorifying blood money. It’s now a norm.— IG:
Omope Abdul Azeez (@Iam_Abdulaxis) December 20, 2018Music is usually a
reflection of the society from which it originates at the time it is
produced.So, Olamide and Lil Kesh are just producing music that reflect
our society at this point in time just as Fela's music in Fela's time.—

December 20, 2018This "Pata ni logo benz" song is a totally insensitive
song.. Infact, if you find it funny, you're stupid.. Olamide and lil
kesh should be banned.. Their desperation to stay relevant has gotten
out of hand— BREZZIDENT (@OlaTheOG) December 20, 2018Olamide will soon
come and tell us that the aim behind the Logo Benz song with Lil kesh is
to dissuade young boys from involving in rituals, same thing after
being bashed by the media for releasing a song like science student that
promotes drug use!— Tutu of Port Harcourt (@tutuofPH) December 20,
2018I don't know how somebody will sit down and write song, and the next
thing the song is promoting is rituals and killings in the society.
Olamide and Lil Kesh should be fined for that song release.— Durodola

A
pregnant woman reportedly slumped and died at a BRT terminal in Lagos
today while she was trying to catch a bus at the Mile 12 BRT
terminal. According to eyewitnesses, she died before she could get
medical help in a situation similar to an incident that occurred a few
years ago. It was reported that a young girl slumped and died at the BRT
terminus in Obalende just as she was about to pay for ticket to board a
bus to Ajah. Her body has since been evacuated by an emergency response
team.
The
organised labour has given the Federal Government up to December 31 to
send the tripartite committee report on N30,000 minimum wage to the
National Assembly following a decision that was taken in Lagos on
Thursday at a joint meeting of three labour centres—the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the United Labour
Congress (ULC). Labour said the ultimatum followed President Buhari’s
statement that a “high powered technical committee” would be set up to
device ways of ensuring that the implementation of the new wage did not
lead to an increase in the level of borrowing. NLC President, Ayuba
Wabba, who addressed newsmen after the meeting, said that setting up a
technical committee could not be a condition for passing the minimum
wage report to the National Assembly. According to Wabba, the organised
labour cannot guarantee industrial peace and harmony in the country if
the wage report was not passed for implementation on or before
December 31. “We reject in its entirety the plan to set up another
`high powered technical committee’ on the minimum wage. It is
diversionary and a delay tactics.The national minimum wage committee was
both technical and all-encompassing in its compositions and plan to set
up a technical committee is alien to the tripartite process. It is also
alien to the International Labour Organisations’ conventions on
national minimum wage setting mechanism,’’ he said. The labour leader
said that issues on payment of minimum wage was a law that was
universal, citing that other African countries like, Kenya, Ghana and
South Africa had increased their minimum wage this year

The
African African Congress (AAC) has filed a lawsuit against the Nigeria
Elections Debate Group (NEDG) and the Broadcasting Organisations of
Nigeria (BON) over the exclusion of its presidential candidate, Omoyele
Sowore, from the presidential debate. A statement by Malcolm Fabiyi,
Director General of the TakeItBack Movement and Sowore 2019 Campaign,
noted that the lawsuit was filed on Wednesday. The suit, filed by
Barrister Inibehe Effiong, the AAC Legal Adviser, asked the court to
prevent the debate from going ahead without AAC. It also asked the court
to compel the NEDG/BON to explain why the party was excluded from the
debate. Speaking on why the party instituted a case against NEDG and
BON, Fabiyi said: "The Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG), in
association with the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria and Channels
TV, has been resolute in its discrimination against Omoyele Sowore,
presidential candidate for the African Action Congress. Despite being
one of the top three parties in polls and surveys, the NEDG fraudulently
excluded the AAC and selected other parties for the debate. The NEDG
has cited multiple excuses for its discriminatory refusal to include the
AAC. None of those excuses hold water."The nation is aware by now that
the AAC party and the Take it Back Movement will not take injustice,
discrimination or oppression lightly. We do not accept it when meted out
to innocent Nigerians as we have shown in various protests, and we
certainly will not accept it against ourselves or our efforts."This
lawsuit should not only help ensure that the right of all Nigerians to
have an authentic, unfiltered debate about the Nigeria’s future is
assured, it would also serve notice to all those who hide behind
legitimate institutions and organizations to perpetuate the oppression
and the drowning out of legitimate voices from national discourse, that
their days of impunity are over."We hope that the Nigerian judicial
system will show itself to be strong, virile and independent as this
case makes it way through the courts. Nigeria MUST progress."

EFCC,
Gombe Zonal Office, on December 20, 2018, secured the conviction of
Muhammed Haladu of Dengi, Kanam Local Government, Plateau State, on a
one-count charge bordering on cheating, contrary to Section 320 (a) of
the Penal Code. Haladu was brought before Justice Abubakar Jauro of the
Gombe State High Court, for posing as an EFCC operative, to defraud a
businessman, Ayuba Pyokdom of N100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) in
the guise that it will be used to help “bury” an investigation into a
petition against him. It however turned out to be false. When the charge
was read to him, he did not waste the time of the Court as he pleaded
“guilty”. Justice Jauro, thereafter, convicted and sentenced him to one
year in prison with an option of N20, 000 fine. In a related
development, the EFCC secured the conviction of Abubakar Umar and Nafiu
Ibrahim for offences bordering on conspiracy and cheating. Umar and
Ibrahim were arraigned before Justice Jauro on a two-count charge. They
allegedly defrauded Hadiza Bajoga and Rakiya Yakubu of about N4
million. The EFCC had received a petition from his victims.
Subsequently, an investigation was launched into the alleged crime,
which led to their arrest in Kano State. One of the counts reads: “That
you Abubakar Ahmed Umar and Nafiu Ibrahim sometime in December 2017 or
thereabout at Gombe, Gombe State within the jurisdiction of this
Honourable Court, did fraudulently induce one Hadiza Yakubu to deliver
to you monies totalling the sum of N4,000,000 (Four Million Naira Only)
on WhatsApp group chat, under the name "Success Oil & Gas" and that
the said sum was to be used for investing in Oil and Gas business which
you knew same to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to
Section 320 and Punishable under Section 322 of the Penal Code
Law”. They pleaded “guilty” to the charges when they were read to them.
Based on their pleas, prosecuting counsel, Zarami Muhammad, asked the
court to convict them accordingly

United Kingdom's second-biggest airport has been closed for more than
19 hours in an unprecedented disruption caused by drone sightings, which
police have described as a "deliberate act." London's Gatwick Airport
has been closed since 9 p.m. on Wednesday Dec 19th after drones were
spotted near the airfield and as at Thursday afternoon, police were
still on the hunt for the drone operators who have brought the airport
to a standstill, causing travel chaos for hundreds of thousands of
passengers just days before Christmas. "Each time we believe we get
close to the operator, the drone disappears; when we look to reopen the
airfield, the drone reappears," Sussex Police Superintendent Justin
Burtenshaw told the UK's Press Association. The Ministry of Defence said
on Thursday evening that it had deployed specialist equipment to assist
Sussex Police in their efforts. It is illegal to fly drones within 1
kilometer (0.6 miles) of a UK airfield boundary, with perpetrators
facing up to five years in prison. There is no indication the incident
at Gatwick is terror-related, local Sussex Police said adding that 20
police units from two forces were searching for the drone operators.

North
Korea has said it will not relinquish its nuclear weapons until the US
eliminates its own "nuclear threat," according to a commentary published
by state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). "The proper
definition of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is completely
eliminating the American nuclear threat to North Korea before
eliminating our nuclear capability," the commentary says. The US and
North Korea are deadlocked in negotiations over how North Korea will
denuclearize in return for the easing of sanctions. On June 12 in
Singapore, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump
signed a vaguely worded pledge to "work toward complete
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." However, in the six months
since, talks have stalled and North Korean criticism of the US has
sharpened, though Pyongyang has continued to heap praise on Trump. The
commentary published Thursday suggests one obstacle in the negotiations
could be US military assets based in South Korea and the protection of
South Korea under the US nuclear umbrella."When talking about the Korean
peninsula, it encompasses not only our republic's territory but also
South Korea where the American nuclear weapons and armed forces for
invasion are spread out. When talking about denuclearization of the
Korean peninsula, [the US] needs to know that it means eliminating all
nuclear threat factors," the commentary says.The statement also says the
US push toward the total denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
should include the removal of nuclear threats from "not only the North
and the South, but from all neighboring areas."

The
police in Lagos state have arrested one Ben Peters, a househelp that
carted away his employers valuables eleven days after employment. Ben
was employed by seventy-three-year-old retiree, Alexander Okoye, and his
wife, Njideka Okoye, on October 12th.However on October 24th 2018, the
suspect stole the couples valuables including their Toyota Camry saloon
car 2008 model, five thousand United States Dollars, six packet shirts
and a Motorola Android phone. The distraught couple filed a petition to
the Commissioner of Police in Lagos state, CP Edgal Imohimi. Based on
their complaint, the CP directed CSP Kemi Adedeji and team attached to
the Command's Human rights section to launch a manhunt for the fleeing
househelp.On Tuesday December 12th, the said Ben Peters was arrested at
his hideout in Agege, Lagos and some of the stolen items recovered from
him. Police investigation revealed that the suspects real name is Usang
Bassey Effiong and not Ben Peters as he made his employers to
believe. Confessing to the crime, the suspect narrated that he noted
where Mr. Okoye usually hid his bedroom key and to gain access to it, he
needed to duplicate the living room key; so he went ahead and made a
copy of the living room key. He said on October 23rd, he made up his
mind to break into the couple's bedroom. And to do so undetected, he
disconnected the CCTV camera that would have recorded his activities,
picked up the bedroom key and constructively broke into the couple's
room, stole their valuables and thereafter, drove off with their car.The
suspect added that robbing the couple was easy for him because the
househelp they dismissed before employing him, one Matthew Johnson
Abam, was a member of his thieving syndicate and he had furnished him
with relevant information about the couple even before he came to live
with them.Both suspects are currently undergoing interrogation with a
view to helping the Police, arrest their partners in crime and recover
the stolen items.
The
Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says 25,000 personnel have
been deployed across the country in preparation for Christmas. Corps
Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem made this known to journalists in
Abuja where he said the effort was part of activities to commence its
‘Operation Zero Tolerance for Road Traffic Crashes’ which began on
Wednesday, 19 and would last till January 15, 2019. “FRSC has defined
an operational order; we have the operation zero tolerance to road
traffic crashes to combat the menace of road traffic crashes around this
period.We have made deployment of both regular and special marshals
close to 25,000. We have also deployed patrol vehicles, advanced life
support ambulances, heavy duty trucks, patrol motorbikes, reflective
jackets, and breathalyzers among others,” he said.He explained that the
measures were all in a bid to make sure that the roads were
accident-free. Kazeem further said the corps’ objectives during the
festive period included ensuring free flow of traffic, reduction of
crashes to the barest minimum and quick response to distress. “We want a
situation where people will be moving freely without any hitch and in a
situation where we have any crash; there should be quick response to
distress situation.There will also be enforcement of road traffic laws
and regulations because education and enlightenment without enforcement
is just like entertainment. So many people will not heed our call and we
have to enforce the law and make sure they heed our call by all means,”
he said. He further said no fewer than 201 mobile courts had been set
up nationwide meaning that some people might eventually spend their
Christmas behind bars. The public education officer said the corps had
employed patrol strategies including having 24 hours visibility along 52
critical corridors and conduct of mobile courts. “We also have 13
traffic control camps at traffic prone areas for ease of operation and
quick response to traffic issues,” said Kazeem, and that the camps were
located in Lagos, Mowe, Lokoja, Gwagwalada, Ore, Okene among others.
