He says it's a possibility, so long you know the formular, which he explained in one of his books. Kolawole Oyeyemi is the Pastor of Chapel of uncommon Grace in Ikeja, Lagos. He has over 22 years of work experience under his belt with extensive educational background from within and outside the country. We shall have reviews of some of these books subsequently. But for now, make your 2014 count. Go get yourself any of these books for a healthy and wealthy tomorrow.
Everyone is now writing open letters. Have a problem with anyone, write an open letter. This one is addressed to the Organizers of the Headies Awards. Read and see if it makes sense or not..
Dear Headies 2013 Organizers;
Let me start by saying I am not just disappointed in you but u have just proved to us that Nigeria is not getting better any time soon. You have been manipulated by a greedy and hopeless telecommunications company (MTN) because they sponsored your event and you forgot the ultimate rule that awards are meant to be impartial and should be decided by the general public especially when u told us to vote. You distributed the awards among four MTN ambassadors (Iyanya, Davido, Praiz, and KCee) and just one Glo ambassador won (Waje). Is that not politics or is it coincidence? Now let us analyse.
The Headies 2013 was a flop, your stage was shaped like a models runway, the choreographers lacked ideas and didn’t interpret the music, I have seen a better performance from Nigeria’s Got Talent.
What was the Gulder Ultimate Search theme song that was being played throughout the event?
Who on earth uses the Mavin slaves -Dr Shit popularly called Dr Sid and Tiwa Gabbage knows as Tiwa Savage as anchors of an event? Oh I forgot, the awards lacked credibility and substance.
Why did majority of the winners come from backstage, instead of coming from the crowd like it should be? I watched Nickelodeon Kids choice awards this year and it is far better than the over hyped Headieswhich was not properly planned and hurriedly done #shame.
Can you explain to us how Olamide won Best Rap Album? Olamide has commercialised rap, we cannot tell if he is a rapper or a singer. As far as I am concerned, he is just an entertainer like D’Banj. So where does Vector, Phyno, Reminisce and Illbliss who represent real hip hop/rap stand? Don’t forget that there is a big difference between commercial rap and real rap, all he sings about is remind us that he is from the street but to be sincere Terry G is more street than Olamide and Terry G is not even a rapper #justsaying.
How can Harrysong win most MTN most downloaded caller tune song for RIP Mandela? when did Mandela die and do u want to compare that dead song with other club bangers in the same category?
Simple, it is because Harrysong is a label mate to your MTN ambassadors (KCee). In my opinion Jawon, Waje, 2 Face, Clarence Peters, Blackmagic and Davido deserved their awards. How can Wizkid not win any award? Someone who has been the most consistent and sought after this year. I am sure Wizkid declined an interview from you that’s why he didn’t win, in fact Wizzy should be the artiste of the year. Why did D’Banj, Burnaboy, Wandecoal, PSquare, Flavour not win anything? oh I know why, it is because they are Glo ambassadors.
Now explain to me why Sean Tizzle won the next rated award and he was in the same category as Burna Boy who is obviously more relevant and talented. We all know Sean Tizzle has the same old boring style and we can always predict his next song. Phyno too deserved the next rated award and how on planet earth did D’Tunes win producer of the year? Someone who recycled 1 beat 5 times (Kukere, Your Waist, Mama Eh, Lenu by Spicy, Kilogbe). So where does ace producer Del’B that produced the national anthem Limpopo stand? You are all insane!!!!!!
Infact, Headies, MTN and PDP should merge and start a new political party for the upcoming election in 2015. It should be named MHDP(Mtn Headies Democratic Party). We all know exactly what happened, MTN agreed to sponsor your event and they gave you the list of who should win. Our votes did not count; do you think we are blind and foolish like yourself? Instead of your greedy MTN sponsors to improve their network, reduce tariffs and contribute to the growth of the nation, they will be sending me SMS on how they gave free ipad and mp3 to those who sent an SMS to a code.
They spend all their time looking for how to extort customers and scam us with their ridiculous offers (free airplane and a trip to the moon). I am sorry to say sir but if u continue this way your company will fold up and collapse because you are not an epitome of integrity. I am speaking on behalf of majority of Nigerians who know the truth and are not afraid to say it.
Those who feel this letter is nonsense should not forget to curse, insult and threaten me on @baddestdjtimmy. after my last two open letters, I have been insulted, chewed up, spit out, as being very jobless, hopeless and a broke laptop DJ.
You guys don’t know how much I love the insults so it means I am doing a good job and it makes me stronger. So in conclusion, if u have the opportunity to host another award show, learn from your mistakes and let our votes count this time. Let those who deserve it win, is that too much to ask?

It was pandemonium this morning at obalende area of Lagos when a soldier stormed the bus park in uniform to beat up a driver who was said to have been in a serious argument with his wife over bus fare. The driver was said to have harvested series of punches from the soldier's fist leading to his death.
Sad way to end a year for the driver and the soldier who must be brought to book.
Please my people keep anger at bay! Olorun m'aje!.
The governor is highly displeased with some of the activities of Car dealers and hawkers . Here is what he said.
"We build roads to let us get to our businesses; our places of work quickly and to make movement easier.
“But some residents covert the roads to places they trade and as long as we continue to trade on them, we defeat the purpose for which they were built.
“As long as we turn our roads to shopping malls where everybody buys in traffic, we all pay the price because you all know that such causes stress and hypertension.
“Now, I see those who sell cars on Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way and other areas have turned sections of the highways into showrooms.
“I am using this opportunity to tell them to get land where they can display and sell their cars. If we want to be great people, we don’t turn our highways into car shops”.
Fashola also added that there was a lot of serious health implications if motorists have to stay too long on the road.
The death was disclosed in a statement signed by Jahman Anikulapo, an aide to Mr. Soyinka, one of the world’s foremost dramatists and winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in literature. The statement noted that the late Iyetade Soyinka was a student at the Staff School and Queens School, Ibadan before she studied Medicine at the University of Ibadan.
Mr. Anikulapo’s statement described the deceased as “affable, intelligent and sometimes capricious,” adding that she “struggled with her health in recent years.” Despite her health woes, the late Iyetade Soyinka “greeted every day with a smile and doted on her two children.”
The statement, which was issued on behalf of the deceased’s family, revealed that Ms. Soyinka “took ill quite suddenly and passed away while being treated at UCH, Ibadan.
“Iyetade leaves behind two children, both parents, numerous siblings, nieces and nephews.”
No funeral arrangements were announced in the statement. SaharaReporters was unable to reach Professor Soyinka before press time.

What are going to be the biggest news events of 2014? Below are 10 predictions for the coming year.
But before going any further, you might want to read the similar column I wrote at this time last year, then looking ahead to 2013. It provides a salutary warning not to take my powers of prediction too seriously.
You’ll see that I got many things wrong. I thought we would see a more effective Obama presidency, and the demise of President Bashar Al-Assad of Syria. We did not. At least my safer predictions - that Netanyahu and Merkel would win elections in Israel and Germany, and that the fragile Greek government would struggle on for another year - turned out to be correct. And Andy Murray did win Wimbledon!
Now, for 2014. The usual caveat applies - my predictions do not necessarily reflect my personal preferences. I am simply trying to judge/guess/estimate what the next 12 months have in store.
1. I’m doing a volte-face on Syria, and now believe that President Assad will survive at least until the end of 2014. I underestimated Russian, and Iranian commitment to keep him in power. The rebel groups will remain fractured. Western countries, dismayed at the spread of radical Islam, will feel increasingly ambivalent about the outcome. But much depends on the Geneva talks, scheduled for late January.
2. A crucial issue for global security will be the success of the interim Iranian nuclear deal, and whether it leads to a permanent deal with the US, the UK, France, Germany, Russia and China. The obstacles are huge: the distrust between the US and Iran, and the complexity of internal politics in those countries as well as in Israel. But Presidents Obama and Rouhani will put huge amounts of political capital into making a nuclear deal stick, and most of the world will be cheering them on.
3. Many countries will hold elections in 2014 but India is perhaps the most important. In India the Congress Party, which has been so disappointing in government, will be swept from power. The Hindu-nationalist BJP, led by Narendra Modi, will dominate a new coalition, to the dismay of many Muslims.
4. There is also an election in South Africa. The ANC will win, but people are increasingly frustrated with corruption and poverty. Even the emotions unleashed by Nelson Mandela’s death may not help the ANC. As people reflect on Madiba’s legacy, dissatisfaction with President Zuma will grow.
5. Politics in Nigeria is even murkier. The ruling party, the PDP, is in a state of convulsion, with many defections. Nigerian political parties are not ideologically coherent entities, but vehicles for regional and personal interests. The PDP has an inglorious record in office, although it is an effective election-winning machine. But President Goodluck Jonathan will have to show hitherto concealed political skills if is government is to survive through 2014, before the election in 2015. A safer prediction, just as I wrote last year, is that African economies will continue to grow, and African middle-classes will grow more assertive, even as the standard of political leadership on the continent lags behind.
6. Scotland will vote on Independence from the UK... and the result will be ‘No’.
7. The Eurozone will remain intact (and will even grow, as Latvia becomes the 18th country to join the single currency on January 1) but politics in Italy, Portugal and Greece will remain volatile. Expect a government to fall in at least one of those countries.
8. At the end of 2014... Julian Assange will still be in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, Edward Snowden will still be in Russia... but Yulia Tymoshenko will no longer be in custody in Ukraine.
9. There will be a surge in tourism to...Sarajevo, as visitors mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the 1st World War by seeing where the catastrophe began with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
10. The football World Cup in Brazil will be won by... Germany, who will thereby become the first European country to win the competition in South America

The two daughters of edo land were honoured by HRM Oba Erediauwa at his palace on Saturday 28th Dec with the prestigious Oba Erediauwa excellence awards. It was fun and thrills as the highly intelligent Oba engaged the recipients one after the other in a walk down memory lane. Other recipients were Chief Oyuki Obaseki, Don Pedro Obaseki, Edi Lawani, Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, and Betty Irabor.
The Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomole survived a car accident on Saturday morning. The crash occurred at Ewu village along the Benin-Auchi road.
A Peugeot J 5 bus carrying tomatoes and plantains apparently lost control and rammed into the Governor’s Flag Car from the opposite direction before swerving into a roadside ditch.
Three vehicles in the Governor’s convoy were in front of the Governor’s Flag Car and had passed the Peugeot J5 Bus before it had direct impact with the Governor’s car, which had the Governor, his Aide-De-Camp [ADC] and his Driver as occupants.
The Governor’s Car was badly affected but both occupants of the Peugeot J5 Bus and that of the Governor’s sustained no injuries.
The Peugeot J5 Bus was following a truck that was descending the Ewu Slope when it suddenly veered off into the Governor’s lane from the opposite direction and directly impacted on the Governor’s vehicle, apparently because of brake failure.
None of the passengers in both vehicles sustained injuries. The Comrade Governor is hale and hearty, his ADC and other occupants of the Peugeot J5 are also in good condition.
The incident has been reported to the Divisional Police Station at Ewu for further investigation.
It will be recalled that the Governor was involved in a ghastly accident which claimed some lives the day he flagged off the electioneering campaign for his second term in office.
The bearded prolific producer extraordinaire and showbiz mogul was one of the recipients of the 2013 Oba Erediauwa Awards for Excellence. He no doubts was quite pleased with the attention accorded him.
The ever energetic and Charismatic Don Pedro was one the recipients of the Oba Erediauwa awards for Excellence. Though a nominee for 2011 which he couldn't receive due to very tight engagements, he was obviously very elated at the honours bestowed on him by HRM, Oba Erediauwa.
The award ceremony which is done during the ugie carnival usually takes place at the palace of HRM, Oba Erediauwa, who personally bestows the honour on the recipient who are drawn from all walks of life. Though majorly sons and daughters of the land it is however not restricted to the Edos alone. Past recipients include John Momoh of Channels TV, Raymond Dokpesi of AIT, Coach Stephen Keshi, Ifueko Omoigui, Don Pedro Obaseki, Professor Omo-Osagie, Soni Irabor to mention but a few. Recipients of this year's honour include Rev(Mrs) Dele George of Little Saints Orphanage, Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, Betty Irabor and a few others. The event is coordinate by Hexentertainment, the brain child of Prince Omoregbe Erediauwa.
Indian woman 'raped by two gangs'
Ever since the fatal gang rape of a student in Delhi last December, there have been public protests and an outcry against sexual violence
Police in India say 10 men are in custody, after a 21-year-old woman was raped by two apparently unrelated groups of men on Christmas Eve.
She was visiting friends in Pondicherry when she was abducted by three men and raped by one of them, officials say.
She found her friends after that ordeal but they were all confronted by another group of men who singled her out and gang-raped her, according to police.
The last suspect was arrested on Friday and police say they have confessed.
The suspects have been remanded for 15 days, but they are yet to be formally charged in court. None of the suspects has publicly commented on the allegations made against them by the victim.
Pondicherry Senior Superintendent of Police Monika Bharadwaj told the BBC that this was a particularly bizarre and brutal sequence of events.
It comes just days before India marks the first anniversary of the death of the student whose gang-rape on a bus in Delhi sparked unprecedented public outrage, leading to changes in India's laws against sexual violence.
'Unrelated attacks'
The incident took place in Pondicherry's port city of Karaikel. When the woman was briefly left alone after her friends went into a house, she was abducted by three men.
"One among that group of three people sexually assaulted her," SSP Bharadwaj told BBC Tamil citing the victim's account of the sequence of events.
She managed to make contact with her friends who came to help her after that ordeal.
"When they were going back they were waylaid by a second group, who again picked up the victim and she was taken to a secure place. There again she was sexually assaulted six times."
According to police, the attackers were not known to the victim and these appear to be unrelated attacks.
Two police officers have also been suspended for initially refusing to register the victim's complaint.
The woman was taken to hospital where she was treated for her injuries and is said to be in a stable
