These efforts are now being complemented with aerial police surveillance. Lagos is Nigeria's most densely populated state that's most likely to be the epicenter of the protests regarding huge turnout and activities.

 Reports reaching Mega Mode Media says legendary Nigerian singer, the Elegant Stallion, Onyeka Onwenu, just passed on, late Tuesday night July 30.                     Onyeka Onwenu Onwenu was at the birthday ceremony of a friend Stella Okoku, MD of a pharmaceutical company, where she stood up and performed. It is unclear if she was a paid singer at the event or it was an impromptu decision to serenade her friend. After she returned to her seat, Onwenju slumped. Emergency services were summoned and she was reportedly rushed to Reddington Hospital. For a while, doctors battled to save her from the yet unspecified ailment.  Sadly, these proved abortive as she had left this world.   She was not just a singer, Onwenu was also an actor, an arts afficionado and politician.  May her soul find repose in the bosom of the Creator.

She came prepared and did not fail to deliver an energetic and scintillating performance, incorporating a funkified Afrobeats flavour to her beloved papa's classic tunes. 

From Pharrell, US singer and creative director of Louis Vuitton to Steph Curry, the US basketball star, to many athletes and among the online community, the world is buzzing about the beautiful Team Nigeria's gear at 2024 Olympics. Some are saying #TeamNigeria is the best kitted already, while done if the athletes are full of the praises for the beauty, quality and great feel of the kits.  The firm behind the brand which produced the kit is based in LA, United States and is famed for making huge donations to the black community from its profits. Essence magazine says it's donated over $500,000 to charities supporting the community.           Lanny Smith, CEO, Actively Black The success and huge impact is a full circle moment for Lanny Smith, creator of the brand.

 Kenneth Okonkwo, former Nollywood actor and outspoken Spokesperson of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 polls has dumped Obi and Labour Party.            Okonkwo “I no longer have the confidence that PO has what it takes to build a party that can win these kakistocrats and kleptocrats, and above all, he has proved that even if the people vote for him, he doesn’t have what it takes to secure the mandate,” Okonkwo said in a statement he shared on his X account. This is a huge blow to the party and Obi. Okonkwi has been the face of the party virulently attacking the ruling APC party and President Tinubu. To now denounce Obi on the premise that he " does not have what it takes to secure the mandate" is shocking. 

The original Last Supper is beneath, while the contentious, viral one at the Opening ceremony is above  The internet is ablaze with this scene purportedly depicting Jesus' Last Supper during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.m yesterday, July 26.     The Opening Ceremony was acted by tr@nsgenders Many christian are angry that the scene mocked Jesus Christ and Christianity. Some find it tasteless and shoes France, and the world, has fallen into degeneracy. This is because the scene was executed by tr@bsgenders. Apart from this, there were other scenes where tr@ns danced with children.  Already, there are those who are calling on the Pope Francis to formally lodge a complaint with the French Olympic organizing committee.

    Team Nigeria flew the green-white-gree flag high as the nation marked the register by sailing into Paris 2024 Olympics in grand style on the Seine. The team was decked in green and white, the country's colours. Instead of the usual parade on leg, the team like all the other teams, was ferried into the opening ceremony in so spectacular fashion to the announcement of each eligible nation. What's that white stuff on the women's heads though? Gele, turban, head wrap or furry dome hat?  Okay. Go, Team Nigeria!

  Many folks won't like this. But it's the bitter truth which bears saying. The nation's economy is indeed comatose. It has passed being in ICU but is currently on life support despite the high falluting statistics reeled out to portray economic  rebound, it is incongruent when shopping for basic food items at markets.  Everybody is complaining. Well, minus politicians. St least it's on record that  all the state governors got billion naira funding to ameliorate the ongoing food crisis in December 2023. With the exception of Borno's  Gov. Zulum who kept distributing food to LGs around his state with physical supervision of the distribution himself, all other states pocketed the money. So, yes, many of our office holders deserve heckling. And loudly too.. But, the last time "faceless groups" or "anonymous coalition" organised a demonstration, it was called #endsars . We know how that played out, from internal implosion over money issues among

.        Dele Momofu (in red) at a protest Dele Momodu, a publisher, has raised his objection to the planned protests against the federal government currently gaining increasing momentum round the country.  Momodu, who said he's been involved in many protests since 1978, bases his objection in the fact that even though people have the right to make peaceful protests, it should be responsibly and transparently done and not agitated for yo cause insurrection by faceless individuals.  That, the masterminds of the protests undermine its altruism and legitimacy as being undertaken with good intentions.  "I have 46 years experience in protests, since 1978 at the University of Ife,"' he said adding, "There's nothing riskier for a nation than faceless people or a mob leading protests. It is the right of everyone to protest but not the right of anyone to cause mayhem...' Therefore, the federal government has the full rights to use all options to quell such shadow

                          The scene An influencer started a protest that the above scene in a new Nollywood movie produced by Bolanle Ayo disrespected Islamic religion by disparaging female hijab/niqab apparel worn to signify respect, modesty and honour. The scene he protested of shows armed men robbing a bank, but disguised as females in the Islamic apparel. This infuriated many Nigerians who roundly berated him for trying to cause mayhem by raising such sensitive religious issue at a time when more pressing economic matters are afoot.  Some others accuse him of hypocritical double standards for not speaking up when terr0r(st groups wear such garb to b0mb  properties and people in northern Nigeria.

                              Nelly  US singer and couple, Cornell Haynes Jnr. a.k.a. Nelly and Ashanti Douglas, more renowned as Ashanti, also a famous singer, welcomed a bundle of joy recently.  The couple dated met at a Grammy press conference in 2003 and started dating.

The two found themselves back with each other, thanks to Fat Joe, Jarule and her DJ in 2023. They also went on tour together. By late 2023, Ashanti was pregnant, and Nelly had proposed.  The two privately wedded away from the klieg ights, December 27, 2023, the world did not know

      Peter Obi Following the recent brickbats between Peter Obi, the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, and the ruling APC, Mega Mode Media learns that there are insinuations that Peter Obi is poised for arrest by the Nigerian authorities.  Sources told this newspaper that this follows Obi's latest statement against the economy, where he also reportedly urged Nigerians to action.  Presidency sources, Mega Mode Media learns, interprete this statement as a call for civil disobedience or mass uprising against the federal government.  The timing of the statement around when there are increased agitations by seemingly faceless groups calling for protests across the country, is deemed deliberately provocative and laced with malicious intent by the government.  This is because Obi has a huge cult following in Nigeria, and his large supporters dubbed #Obidients, have relentlessly hounded the government online from the campaigns till date, and ate believed by government as th

The exchange of words between Peter Obi, Labour Party's Presidential candidate in last year's elections, and the ruling APC is not abating soon  Obi lampooned APC for leading the country into ruin and suffering since 2015.  APC came out last night to counter that the ruin actually started hugely under the erstwhile Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) years of emptying the treasury despite getting high crude oil revenue. This gbas gbos seems unrelenting. Expecting pdp's response anytime from now...

It's a pathetic play on a person who never played with his pay mastersfor that long.  An employee worked at a Burger King religiously or 27 years, without missing a day off. Not one single day. Through storm and tempest, blizzard and bad roads, bitter winter and buying cold, he always showed up for work.  At this retirement, guess what he got? Burger King gave him a nice, cute goody bag. That's all. It was his daughter who then opened a GoFundMe account on her dad's behalf. This raised $400,00.  What the organization couldn't laud, the people appreciate more. 

 Can Vice President Kamala Harris become the first ever female US president?            Vice president Kamala Harris Even in the business world, very few women becomes presidents and CEO of corporations. Amo g the very few who did, were enabled by the fact that they were heiresses who inherited family businesses not mainly through the boardroom. In politics, it is a tighter situation. The  closest any woman came close, twice, to occupying the Oval Office, was when Hillary Clinton squared off with first Barack Obama in 2008 and afterwards, against Donald Trump in 2016. She lost the Democratic Party's nomination to Obama, and lost the general election to Trump.   Hillary Clinton Why? Hillary, like do many others then, under-estimated Obama in 2008. This is understandable, she is a original political staple having been First Lady and Senator. Obama was just a fresh Senator from Illinois. Besides, she focused on securing votes from the bigger, dominant swing states like California and

                  President Joe Biden Democrats raised more than $46.7 million and still counting on what's now called " the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 presidential race" after incumbent President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsing Kamala Harris, his female vice president for the slot.  This was a jolt to many observers. It's thought he could have dropped out of the race much earlier if he was disinclined. After passing the threshold of reasonable declining period from standing for election, many thought he would now go all the way. But now, days to the Democratic National Convention, he announced his withdrawal in a one-page letter. It was least expected.  Notwithstanding, the huge amount raised within hours of his step down indicates a show of support for the president's discontinuation from the race and his endorcement of Harris. Biden has been self-isolating while recuperating from an illness in Nebraska, surrounding himself

     Donald Trump Jnr. The two presidential candidates that will spar in the US November presidential election are already known: incumbent Joe Biden for the Democrats and his predecessor, former President Donald Trump for the Republicans.  The odds are favouring Trump. Rich elites are favouring him more because they will pay lesser taxes. The ultra conservatives favour him for his religious views and  anti immigration laws. His stronger economic improvement results compared against an underwhelming Biden run in the last four years is another plus.     President Trump, being rushed off stage by the Secret Service after shots rang out and grazed his right ear And now, with the July 13 assassination attempt on his life at the Pennsylvania rally, many sympathy votes are sure to make more eople punch the red skits for the Republican party in the forthcoming elections.
