There was a thunderous ovation amidst anointing and miracles in the atmosphere; at St. Andrews Anglican Church, Phase two, Site one, Kubwa, Abuja; during their Drama Theatre's ministration recently.
The groundbreaking drama which was titled "King Igbudu" tells the touching story of a powerful ruler and dictator called King Igbudu (played by Elochukwu Ezeumeanya). The king was extremely powerful and had both religious, political and judicial powers. He subjected all the inhabitants of his Kingdom and beyond to worship and adore him as their god.
And if anyone goes contrary to that, he slaughters such victim or orders the person to be thrown into the lake of fire. He made his palace the supreme court where all cases are resolved; of which he was the judge and perverts justice at will. King Igbudu also had spiritual powers to appear and disappear. He conquered all nations and kingdoms that have ever engaged in battle with him. His power, fame, wealth and influence grew to the extent of making Kings and Queens of other nations, consecrating Priests and Bishops, gifting teachers professorship and more.
People commenced traveling from all the parts of the world with their problems and heavy laden to seek solution at the feet of this powerful king; such as a man with leprosy (played by Ikechukwu Ogbu) who was healed of his disease with this King's medicine administered by his right hand man and Chief of Amry (played by Greg Ogochukwu) who is the only access to the king and dispenses King's instructions.
The king also clothed a tattered lady (played Blessing Benjamin) who had no clothes with expensive dresses and money.
He declared Operation feed the world from his inexhaustible barn because of a hungry lady (played by Osunlana Oluwafemi) who came to palace in need of food.
There was also a case of an uneducated lady (played by Adaeze Odogwu) who came in search first degree, he crowned her with degrees up to Ph.D. level.
One day, a barren woman (played by Vivian Amah) came for a child. The king did all he could to give her a child, but all to no avail. He was so furious, palpitating up and down. At the verge of his brags, a loud voice of God (played by Obinna Akalazu) came with wild wind from heaven and bent him into submission.
Immediately, an angel (played by David kings) appeared and gave the barren woman a beautiful baby girl (played by baby Goodness Ibeagha) King Igbudu and his Chief of Army surrendered with rivers of tears to Almighty God who alone can really do all things indeed; Who alone can give and take life. And that was where the curtains drew.
The drama ministration indeed planted a tremendous fear and trembling before the Lord in the atmosphere as cries and applause were heard from the audience. The drama stage was managed by Ifeoluwa Oyesina, while the custumiers were Greg Ogochukwu and Osunlana Omolola. The drama "King Igbudu" was written by Vivian Amah and directed by Obinna Akalazu.
The Thanksgiving Service which had in attendance over 1000 worshippers comes up at the end of the every month as a tradition for the church; and thus the theme of the drama was "God of all Possibilities" drawn from Matthew 19:26 of the Holy Bible.
Other programmes of the Service were a soul lifting sermon by Venerable Barr. Tunde Oyesina, who is the Vicar in charge of the church and Kubwa Anglican Archdeaconry. Plus electrifying praises and worship by a guest artiste; Kelechi Nnam and the St Andrews angelic Choir.
Akon has stated that he has invested over $1 Billion in China over electricity. In his remarks, here is what he has to say;
Africa lacks electricity, water, basic infrastructure, there is a lot of progress to be made. And you see the misery, you just want to help, it's no longer a frenzy, I'm not wearing jewelry anymore.
I saw so many people in need, until I feel guilty when I visit Villages putting on earrings that cost 50,000 dollars is useless.
It's just the pat in the eye that only serves to make the beauty in front of others.That's why I decided to use my money to help others.
As court grants Naira Marley bail application while the condition is to look for N2 million for release bail, social media company Twitter has suspended the official account of the ‘Why’ crooner today, this could be linked to ongoing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission over a credit fraud case
Twitter has not issued any official statement to that regard, but everything linked to his current fraud case with the Nigerian government.
In a recent chat with the dancer, she revealed that her project for the year was to sensitize the public to the gains of giving the dance industry the same respect other industries in the entertainment sphere receive.
During a recent interview, she revealed that she had used dance to help unhappy women regain their confidence.
“I started out as a fitness trainer and I used dance to make it more enticing to both men and women because we like fun. With dancing, you would have so much fun that you would not believe the number of calories you burn in the process instead of lifting heavy weights.
"Dance takes the pain away while exercising and you would have fun as you do so."
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed an 11-count charge on credit card fraud against Naira Marley (real name Azeez Fashola).
This is coming after the singer’s team released a statement saying he was arrested with an item that wasn’t his at his apartment in the early hours of last Friday, his birthday.
Punch reports that the charges were were filed before a Lagos State High Court and the singer is facing in hail if found guilty.
He is said to be arraigned on Monday, May 20th.
The charges read in part:
That you, Azeez Adeshina Fashola, aka Naira Marley, and Raze (still at large), on or about the 11th day of December 2018, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, conspired amongst yourselves to use Access card 42658840359191132 issued to persons other than you in a bid to obtain gain and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 27(1)(b) of the Cyber Crimes (Prohibition, Prevention etc) Act 2015 and punishable under Section 33(2) of the Same Act.
That you, Azeez Adeshina Fashola, aka Naira Marley, and Raze (still at large), on or about the 10th day of May 2019, within the jurisdiction of this honorable court, with intent to defraud possessed, counterfeit card 4921819410257431 issued to Timea Fedorne Tatar and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 33(9) of Cyber Crimes (Prohibition, Prevention etc) Act 2015.
According to the EFCC, some of the credit cards bore the names: Nicole Louise Malyon and Timea Fedorne Tatar.
See the charge sheet below:
Square Record duo Peter and Paul were arguably the biggest music duo Naija and even Africa at large has ever produced. These talented identical twins cop the stage names Mr P and Rudeboy. They were extremely exceptional and had international collaborations with Rick Ross and Akon to mention a few.
Aside being awesome at dropping good music, they put in more vibes in official visuals with several dancing steps, especially their MJ-like break-dance. They were managed by their elder brother Jude Okoye.
For several years, things went along pretty well for the record label until 2017. The team had management issues which led to their separation that same year.
Mr P and Rudeboy went solo and have dropped solo singles which has fallen below expectation.
Who is better? Taking into account the individual singles released in 2018: Rudeboy – Reason With Me is the best song he let out so far this year. After listening to this wonderful emotional tune, you would quickly draw out that he is the voice of P-Square. Now, kindly rewind back to Ifunnaya or any songs on P-Square’s projects, you could create a case for him as the mastermind behind the songs sang by P-Square though we can not be certain about who gives the most input when it comes to lyrics.
On the other hand, check out Mr P – One More Night Ft. Niniola; with awesome dancing steps and chorography. Owning to this attribute, Mr P can be said to be the better dancer and thus the mastermind behind the dancing move in most of the awesome musical videos released by P-square.
From these, we can say that Rudeboy is arguably the better singer and could be the song content maker while Mr P is the better dancer and spices up all the music videos with good vibes. Now, if P-Square was a cake, then Rudeboy is the cake-mix while Mr P is the icing.
They have been struggling ever since their disintegrationbecause they complement each other. In fact, on a solo platform they are both like upcoming artistes struggling to blow. With all these taking into consideration, it would be a smart move for them to re-unite and clear their differences.

African music streaming service which has attracted well over 800 registered users in just 8 days of its release appoints Purity Nganga as its Head of Operations, Kenya in a move to enter the Kenya music streaming market.
Playfre will be competing with already know players in East Africa which include Mdundo.
"Playfre has an added advantage over already existing players in the music streaming industry here in East Africa as it already comes with over 45 million songs, something every other music streaming service here can't boast of," says Purity Nganga, the new Playfre's Head of Operations Kenya
"It is great having Purity on board. I have always wanted to make a debut in both Nigeria and Kenya, and subsequently expand to Ghana and South Africa. This is just the first step towards that direction" says Chika NWaogu, CEO of Playfre Music.
Playfre's android app just hit the Google Playstore a few days ago and is now available for free download. The app enables you to listen to any music on playfre even while you are not on the app as opposed to the web player.
"Now you can take playfre wherever you go and in all your devices and listen to music whenever, however," says Chika Nwaogu
Purity Nganga will oversee all things Playfre in Kenya and East Africa.
With a portofolio of over 45 million songs, Playfre is Africa’s largest music streaming service. Playfre currently has over 800 registered users in 8 days from its launch.
Nigerian computer programmer; Chika Nwaogu has successfully created the first Indigenous music streaming platform with over 45 millions songs that can really compete with the likes of Spotify and Deezer.
"Spotify and many other big music streaming platforms have not yet opened their doors to most African countries because of the weak intellectual property laws in these parts of the world, thus making these awesome apps unavailable to the African demographic.
Those who have opened their doors to us, still charge monthly to stream unlimited music"
Chika said while speaking on why he embarked on creating Playfre.
"We have been developing what will become Africa’s first real answer to Spotify. We at Playfre are trying to bring the over 45 million songs on Spotify to you at no charge, with the same Spotify experience and guess what? We did it!" Chika added.
Launched on May 1, 2019, Playfre lets its listeners play over 45 million songs for free while still keeping that awesome Spotify experience everybody loves. Playfre (pronounced playfree) is the first African music streaming platform that has over 40 million songs.
Playfre is a Nigerian based audio streaming platform that lets users listen to millions of music for free. With over 45 million songs in its database, Playfre is Africa's largest music streaming platform.
Before Playfre, Chika Nwaogu have created, grown and sold two successful internet startups which include LAGbook; the African social network that hit a million registered users in 2013.
Playfre will be releasing it's android and iOS apps later in the month and will also be rolling out services like "Playfre for Artists" which will let musicians get their songs on Playfre at no cost.

Marketing with videos is definitely trending in the business world. In fact, more and more companies are choosing to incorporate it into their marketing strategies in 2019. Regardless, if you are an upstart, small business or a large corporation, video marketing will be a great addition to your existing plan. However, you must be creative when it comes to developing marketing videos. If you combine engaging marketing videos with an effective plan, the results will be astonishing. Below, you will discover three great video marketing strategies that should put you on a competitive edge with your biggest competitors.
Tell Your Story
Most consumers are really interested in how businesses get started. Look at Amazon for instance, which begin as a small business operating out of a garage. These are stories that people want to hear. With that said, it is crucial to utilize your marketing videos to tell your story. Make it where your audience feels the need to support your company through purchases.
Marketing videos that tell stories are on a more personal level than those that do not have a story tell. If you really want to draw more traffic to your website, you will need to incorporate this effective marketing strategy into your existing plan. To avoid any backlash, it is crucial to not make the story all about you. Instead, tell a story that demonstrates all the hard work that you put into building your business. Also, be sure to include your successes and future goals. Keep it short because most people will not spend more than a few minutes watching a marketing video.
Let Your Customers Tell Their Stories
Businesses how now become aware of how important customer reviews are for their brand. Most consumers will not even consider making an online purchase without reading customer reviews first. Another thing that consumers are looking for is interactions between customers and companies. Since you are planning to produce videos to draw brand awareness, it would not be a big deal to include one or more of your existing customers' stories in the videos. If you make this habit, you will notice an increase in traffic to your website and improvement in your conversion rate.
Include Tips And How-To Guides
Like customer reviews, how-to guides and tips can be effective marketing tools. When consumers want to learn more about a product they will instantly start conducting online research for the best available guides and strategies, such as these marketing guides from video app maker Swish. These videos will give them a better understanding of how your products work and if they work as guaranteed. Including tips is also a sure way to encourage consumers to buy from you.
The idea is to show consumers that you are an expert in your field. Besides that, it will show them that you know your products from top to bottom. In the meantime, you are also providing your existing customers with important information that are guaranteed to make their experiences better, if not great.
Afterword
Once your videos are posted to social media, it is a good idea to monitor their progress. Answer viewers' questions and comments in a timely to show them that you are still involved.
A Lagos High Court, Igbosere yesterday ordered the arrest of a Nollywood actress and producer, Monalisa Chinda-Coker, over alleged tax evasion. The presiding judge, Justice Adedayo Akintoye renewed the bench warrant following the failure of the actress to appear in court for trial.
Lagos State government had charged her with failure to file annual tax returns and failure to pay income tax in respect of her company, Monalisa Code Productions. When the matter came up today, April 1, the defendant and her lawyer were not in court.
Hence, the Lagos State counsel, Mr Babatunde Sumonu, told the court that the bench warrant it earlier issued is yet to be effected. The judge, Justice Akintoye consequently held that the bench warrant should subsist. She adjourned the case until June 5 for further hearing.
The court had, on January 21, 2019, given the order for the actress arrest following an application made by the State Ministry of Justice.
The state submitted that the defendant repeatedly failed to honour court summons since 2017 when the charge was filed. According to the prosecution counsel, the defendant failed to file annual tax returns and pay income tax in respect of her company, to the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) for six years, stressing that Monalisa Code Productions carries out its business from Lekki in Lagos State.
The alleged offences, the prosecution said contravenes Section 94(1) of the Personal Income Tax Act 2004 (as amended) and Section 56 of the Lagos State Revenue Administrative Law of 2006.
