Son of late Afro legend, Seun Kuti, has said that the
Nigerian government was ill advised to put an embargo
on the use of marijuana.
According to him, “There are doctors and scientists who
believe that marijuana should be legalized. There are
also lawyers, judges, and politicians who believe that
the war on drugs is a false war. That is actually a war
on the poor people all over the world, because bothv
poor people and rich people use drugs to be sane. But
you will find that here, people are in jail more for drug
use.”
“I believe that the decision is a carryover of colonial
law,” Seun noted.
He further pointed out that, “We as Africans had no
reason to ban marijuana. It was done out of the United
State lobby, forcing our governments to ban the drug.
One of the biggest markets in the world for marijuana in
the world is Israel (which is a more religious country
than Nigeria),” he quipped.
“But they understand the benefits,” he continued,
“especially the economic benefits. So much wealth can
be generated from it, but that is another issue entirely.
“I don’t think that the Nigerian government has ever
carried out any independent research on marijuana, so
why did they ban its use?” Seun quizzically noted.
Banky W, Nigerian R and B music act, has declared he
is not in a relationship.
Speaking at the MultiChoice Content Showcase held
recently in Mauritius, the 34-year-old star said he’s not
in a hurry to get married.
He said, “I don’t know when I’ll get married, I guess it’s
when God gives me the right lady because getting
married is the most important decision a man can
make.
“I’m simply looking for a special woman that will
complement me,” he noted.
Michael Collins Ajereh, CEO, Mavin Records, popularly
known as Don Jazzy, has said he doesn’t think he’ll ever
win a Grammy award.
In a recent chat with Nigerian Entertainment Today
(NET) at the MultiChoice Content Showcase, he said his
success is not based on winning awards.
“I don’t think am moving at my speed, I’m moving at
God’s speed, so most times, the decisions that I make,
when I look back, I just smile and say that’s how God
wants it.
“I’m doing just perfect, I’m doing great. I don’t think I’ll
ever win a Grammy; I’m not abusing myself but it’s just
been realistic. I don’t think Grammy is set up that way”,
the Marvin CEO added.
“It’s not set up in a way where you’ll just wake up from
Nigeria and pick up a Grammy. If it happens, fine but
I’m not measuring my success on winning a Grammy
or any award for that matter.
“I don’t have big eyes,” Don quipped.

Controversial Actor, Jim Iyke has joined politics – unlike the others, he isn’t contesting for a political post.
The Nollywood bad boy who is now a member of newly registered Young Democratic Party as its Director General in the Diaspora explained that the vision of the party is to empower and promote Nigerian youths within and outside the shore of the country.
In an interview with Daily Independent, he said:
“We just want to say enough is enough. It is time power and our policies shift hands to fresher minds, to stronger fortes, to people that are ready to move with the momentum of time, tide and changes. But it cannot be conceivable if you are saddled in that position for over two decades? How can you grow? How can you go with the tide of time? Biologically too, time will catch up with you because you are growing old in that position.(continue)….
“Look at advanced countries of the world, and take a close look at people that have moved forward, these are people who have put things in place so that changes will be constant. Refreshment of minds, ideas, psychology, idiosyncrasies will be constant except for Nigeria.
“The same circle of people that governed us 20 years ago are the same people who are still ruling us, what are they still doing there? So many of them are in their 80s, grandfathers by all rights! Are they not tired? Suffering and smiling has become our motto, our slogan”,
“There are black men of strong background and strong voice abroad. We have them everywhere. There is a rippling effect, that whatsoever resonates here touches the whole world. This is the strongest economy, the most populous black nation in the world. You cannot say that what we are doing concerns Nigerians alone. It concerns Africa, in the weight of what we are doing, we are carrying everybody along.
“We are not saying that this is a revolution or we are here to manipulate anybody, no. It is an open and closed book. This change may not happen in this era but it is a right step in the right direction at least there is a voice which hitherto was none existence. There is a platform where you can air your grievances. It is a truthful and open platform.”

Jason Arasheben who created the bedazzled shoe spoke to Women’s Wear Daily about Cannon’s inquiry.
“Not very often do I get a request for the most expensive shoes in the world,” he explained. “When Nick approached me last year, he said he wanted to make history and be so over the top. He wanted to set a new standard in diamonds. ‘How can we make the most expensive pair of shoes in the world and make this finale special?’ he asked me.
The fancy footwear, took more than 2000 hours to make and have 14,000 full-cut round white diamonds fixed on white gold.
“The custom shoes have more than 14,000 full-cut round white diamonds set onto white gold, with a total weight of 340 carats”, Arasheben revealed.
“It took four months alone to source all of the diamonds and create them the same size to make the shoe,”
Cannon was clearly in a sparkly kind of mood last night. He also wore a customized Diamond Rolex on the show as well.
