Celebrities at ARIFF press conference this afternoon
Some women say the darndest things, i.e Foluke Daramola
"In the first instance, did you read in the Bible that any of the people who were the apples of God’s eyes had one wife? As it is now, if Kayode goes ahead and impregnates a woman, will I leave him because of that? If I decide to leave my home because my husband is dating another woman or impregnated a woman, who will lose, my husband or me? At the end of the day, it is the woman that owns the home and you hold it the way you want to hold it. So, if my husband is misbehaving and I decide to quit, I shouldn’t blame another person for coming in”

Though the letter was read in the House of Representatives on the

diverse in their reaction to the extension.

Nigerians now producing armoured vehicles
As interest in armoured
luxury cars rises among the upper class, some Nigerian auto firms have
intensified research work on the armouring technology.
Already, an indigenous automobile manufacturer, Proforce Limited, has commenced the production of Armoured Personnel Carriers.
Proforce said it had sealed a pact with Defence Industries Corporation and some para-military organisations for the production.
The Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, is currently facing criticism for allegedly forcing the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority to buy two armoured cars for her.
Wealthy Nigerians and top public office holders import a number of armoured vehicles.
The Managing Director, Proforce, Mr. Ade Ogundeyin, said in a statement obtained on Friday that his firm was currently working with the Defence Industries on the APCs, just as he stressed it was equipped to armour other categories of vehicles.
He criticised the idea of importing armoured vehicles, saying it did not make economic sense for Nigerians to continue to import what was available locally.
“There is no need for government or anybody to import bulletproof or armoured vehicles. It is a waste of resources.
“Why import at very high cost when there is capacity to produce better vehicles at comparatively lower prices locally? This is an issue I hope the new auto policy will address.”
Ogundeyin said the armouring materials were resistant to AK-47 gunshots and assaults with improvised explosive devices, stressing that the vehicles would run on special flat tyres that could endure several kilometres of journey even when deflated.
The Proforce boss also expressed support for the recently developed auto plan, describing it as one of the best policies of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration.
He said if fully implemented, the document was capable of boosting industrial activities in the sector and contributing towards the achievement of government’s targets for the economy by 2020.
He aligned with the thrusts of the new auto policy, which were to encourage investment, enhance technological development and revive production activities in the industry.
Ogundeyin said, “This is a laudable plan which is capable of transforming the local industry. The impact will be felt in many ways, including the establishment of many small- and medium-scale support industries, job creation and increase in capacity utilisation.
“But a lot will depend on whether government has the will to fully implement the policy, especially the area that concerns their agencies or departments buying locally made vehicles. Another critical area that requires firm action on the side of government is the one that introduces stiffer tariff structure for fully built imported vehicles.”

ABBA mulls possible reunion
FRANKFURT
(AFP) – The legendary Swedish pop group ABBA is mulling a possible
reunion next year, singer Agnetha Faltskog said in a German newspaper
interview Sunday.
Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the band’s first hit “Waterloo”, which won them the Eurovision song contest and catapulted them to fame.
ABBA subsequently became one of the world’s best-selling pop bands with a string of number one hits such as “Mamma Mia”, “Dancing Queen” and “Super Trouper”.
“Of course it’s something we’re thinking about,” 63-year-old Faltskog told the weekly Welt am Sonntag.
“There seem to be plans to do something to mark this anniversary in some way. But I can’t say at this point what will come of them,” she said.
Faltskog formed ABBA in 1972 with guitarist and songwriter — and later husband — Bjorn Ulvaeus, as well as Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
The group’s Eurovision success with “Waterloo” came in Brighton, England, two years later.
The band, whose last album “The Visitors” appeared in 1982, has sold more than 380 million records worldwide, making them one of the most successful pop bands in history.

I’ve put myself in front of a mirror, off my clothes … – Lady Gaga
PARIS (AFP) – Multi-platinum selling diva Lady Gaga is fighting to
keep her ‘Queen of Pop’ crown with a hotly-anticipated third album, but
early reception in the US and Britain has been lukewarm.
“Artpop” signals a return to the limelight for Stefani Germanotta — known as Lady Gaga on stage and in video — after she was forced to tone down her usually ubiquitous media presence to undergo hip surgery.
“For ArtPop, in a symbolic way, I’ve put myself in front of a mirror, I’ve taken off my clothes, then the makeup, then the wigs, I’ve dressed myself with a black jumpsuit and I’ve told myself: ‘Now, you have to prove you can be brilliant without all that’”, Lady Gaga told the magazine Grazia.
Even before its official release next week, “Artpop” has been making the headlines.
The 27-year-old New Yorker, who established her reputation on chart-topping songs and surrounded herself with a constant media buzz, streamed the new album this week after it was leaked.
The artist also hinted at an out-of-this-world publicity splash for the album’s official launch — a concert in space.
The US Weekly magazine reported that Lady Gaga plans to undergo a month of special vocal training to perform in early 2015 aboard the Virgin Galactic, the passenger spaceplane being launched by British billionaire Richard Branson to popularise space tourism.
While the third album suggest Lady Gaga’s increasing artistic ambitions, critics in Britain and the US are not so convinced.
“The intention of the album was to put art culture into pop music, a reverse of Warhol. Instead of putting pop onto the canvas, we wanted to put the art onto the soup can,” Lady Gaga said in an interview in Britain’s Daily Mail.
Lady Gaga has collaborated with a number of world famous contemporary artists, including Jeff Koons for the album’s artwork, showing her as a post-modern Botticellian Venus.
But on a first hearing “Artpop” returns to familiar themes — desire, sex, drugs, identity, celebrity, fashion, creativity — and sounds more like Lady Gaga’s previous albums “The Fame” and “Born this way” than it does a totally new musical experiment.
“There’s certainly some decent pop on Lady Gaga’s new album — but the ‘art’ part is rather harder to discern”, said the British newspaper The Guardian.
The verdict was echoed across the Atlantic.
“Lady Gaga’s latest extravagant exploration of her own fame, fabulousness and fearlessness is undeniably relentless, but that doesn’t mean it’s consistently entertaining,” said USA Today.
“Musically, it’s as big and bold, unpredictable and diverse as Gaga herself with enough hooks and ABBA-esque choruses to keep any pop fan smiling through Christmas and beyond,” said the online Huffington Post.
“If Gaga wants to be taken seriously as an ‘artist’ (like all the arty farty posturing and avant garde styling would suggest) then she really needs to spend more than five minutes jotting down the first rhyming couplets that spring to her mind.”

Ken Saro Wiwa's 18 years Rememrance. 10th November 2013.His last words
My lord,
We all stand before history. I am a man of peace, of ideas. Appalled by the denigrating poverty of my people who live on a richly endowed land, distressed by their political marginalization and economic strangulation, angered by the devastation of their land, their ultimate heritage, anxious to preserve their right to life and to a decent living, and determined to usher to this country as a whole a fair and just democratic system which protects everyone and every ethnic group and gives us all a valid claim to human civilization, I have devoted my intellectual and material resources, my very life, to a cause in which I have total belief and from which I cannot be blackmailed or intimidated. I have no doubt at all about the ultimate success of my cause, no matter the trials and tribulations which I and those who believe with me may encounter on our journey. Neither imprisonment nor death can stop our ultimate victory.
