9ICE AT MANDELA BIRTHDAY

When 9NICE said he intends to be the first Nigerian artist to ever win a Grammy, critics wrote him off as someone making noise because of his monster hit GONGO ASO. But today he gets even closer to his dream when he performed at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert (London) to a crowd of 50,000? This is the biggest exposure ever for a Nigeria artist. I am so proud of him, he has done really well. Wishing him the very best congo aso

London stands still as 9ice, Papa Wemba, others sing birthday song for Mandela @ 90
Wave-making Nigerian artiste, 9ice, his manager and an official of Celtel Nigeria, will depart Nigeria today aboard a Virgin Atlantic flight to the United Kingdom, to join a galaxy of international artists to commence the rehearsal for the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Music Concert in London.Wave-making musician, 9ice yesterday joined more than a dozen of Africa’s most respected artistes like Johnny Clegg, Soweto Gospel Choir and Papa Wemba and many international artistes including the multi-million selling classical pop singer Josh Groban, legendary folk rock singer Joan Baez, singer Amy Winehouse and Jerry Dammers, one of the organisers of Artists Against Apartheid and Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday concert and whose song ‘Free Nelson Mandela’ became a banner for the 80’s anti-apartheid movement in UK, to thrill almost fifty thousand people who thronged the London’s Hyde Park for the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Concert.9ice had the privilege of being the only Nigerian musician that performed at the epoch-making concert in honour of the Nobel Laureate and former South African President, Dr. Nelson Mandela, a show watched by over a billion people across the globe, and sponsored by telecommunication giant, Zain Group, owners of Celtel Internatiional, which operates in several African countries such as Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, Burkina Faso, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Madagascar, Niger, and a soon to be launched operations in Ghana.The roll call of artistes that also featured at the London concert included Queen + Paul Rodgers, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey and Razorlight, and virtually many big names in the industry who account for multi millions of record sales in recent years.9ice, who rendered his hit song, “Gongo Aso” to the teeming crowd also joined other renowned artistes like Papa Wemba, to render a birthday song for the African icon for freedom and democracy. Many of the world’s most powerful and instantly recognisable figures joined the crowd in paying tributes to one of the world’s most loved leaders, Nelson ‘Madiba’ Mandela, as he turned 90. http://www.naijarules.com/vb/newthre...newthread&f=24

OLU MAINTAIN
Olumide Edwards Adegbolu aka Olu Maintain is a Nigerian Afro hip-hop musician. His father (medical doctor with the Nigerian army) plays the guitar and his parents also encouraged him to take up music. He liked to mimic the songs of Bobby Brown and M.C. Hammer.
His first demo was done in 1992. He was a member of the hip-hop trio called Maintain (Olu, Tolu and Bamo) which had hits like I Catch Cold and Ni Bo La Wa Gbe Lo. After six albums between 1998 and 2004, he split from the group in 2005. His debut solo album, Maintain reloaded, has been very successful on the back of Yahooze, a song and dance combination which has been received very well by the Nigerian public. Some people think the song is about internet fraudsters (yahoo yahoo boys) or 419, while others think it is about the lifestyle of pomp and pageantry lived by most Nigerians. However, Maintain maintains that it is about pleasure after pain, working from Monday to Friday and enjoying from Friday to Sunday.
Olu Maintain studied Accounting at The Polytechnic, Ibadan and has his label, Reloaded Records.

What is Good Health

What is Good Health

There are many ideas, and opinions, on what constitutes good health, or what a meaningfully healthy lifestyle feels like or looks like. It could be said that health should be a natural condition, or at least a consistent state of well being. But what is this natural condition? There are some people who accept pain and discomfort in the body as a necessary part of living. This pain is considered to be a motivator, something for the body to fight against. They accept this condition because they observe that there are so many people with health complaints and so few people free of problems. It is even taken for granted today that dying of a degenerative disease is acceptable if the person had led a 'good life'.
My parents both died of cancerous type diseases. I seem to be the only one who is not saying, but they 'lived a full life'. Keep in mind that I am the one nobody can understand. I am not quite the black sheep. I am the different one who stopped eating sugar thirty years ago. No one could understand why I would go to so much trouble to read food product labels trying to find something that did not contain sugar. Today it is many times worse because of all the sugar substitutes in our food products. If I were reading labels today I would choose sugar before the sugar substitutes if I had no other choice. My choice today is to not buy any processed food products. I believe that my continuing good health depends on me making my own food from simple organic ingredients. I seldom read food labels these days because I buy very little with a label on it.
Is good health some sort of perfection? In homeopathy good health is said to manifest when a person's "vital force" is being expressed by perfect functioning of all parts of the body and by a sense of general well being. This holistic approach to health states that nature, of which we are an important part, has a constant tendency toward what is best for it. This vital force of nature reaches its masterpiece in the human body and the human consciousness. Harvey Diamond in his part of the book Fit for Life II: Living Health states that humans are "constructed for health and happiness." Life on earth lived in its ultimate achievement is a constant and unshakeable zest for well being and enthusiasm, says Diamond. I have a lot of respect for the diet that the Diamonds recommended. It still is an excellent diet for cleansing out toxins. I am not a great fan of being all that you can be, going for it all or pursuing excellence as a lifestyle. To me this is a short road to burn out and premature grey hair. I was unconsciously going for it all in my younger years. I worked very hard. I cannot say that I experienced good health or happiness back then.
If we wanted this 'ultimate achievement' of good health our goal would be to reach old age and maturity without aches and pains, to be well-balanced and spared emotional traumas and stress-related illnesses. To have zest for life we would wish to be like the beaming, healthy-looking 90-year-olds featured in vegetarian magazine articles. Working out at the fitness club at 91 years of age could demonstrate the principle that the best condition for the body is resilience and flexibility. To take up piano lessons at 83 years might demonstrate an absence of constricting contractions in body and mind. The problem is that we tend to extrapolate these stories into believing that this example of 'good health' is the best way to go. Pushing yourself into the gym when you are exhausted and should be resting is not good health.
It seems apparent to me that for millions of years people lived in some sort of harmony with the natural forces of nature. Good health was some sort of consistent state of being. Otherwise, how would we be here? If we were always in poor health for millions of years I cannot see how we would have survived. A long time ago the dinosaurs disappeared suddenly. Today species of plants and animals are becoming extinct at an accelerating rate. Throughout history at least some of us must have maintained an instinctive natural knowledge about how to live healthily enough to allow our species to continue. How we are doing today is a mute question. Are we going to continue to survive or is our current acceptance of sub-marginal health a sign of something?
Perhaps it is time to take a look at what this instinctive natural knowledge of good health might look like in our modern culture. I feel that it is not that much different than it has been for millions of years. This 'knowledge' probably includes simple things like sunshine, pure water, sleeping when the sun sets, relying on wholesome foods from nature, having daily alone time in the outdoors and living physically active lives in communities of loving supportive people.

First Aid Tips
When someone is injured or suddenly becomes ill, there is usually a critical period before you can get medical treatment and it is this period that is of the utmost importance to the victim. What you do, or what you don't do, in that interval can mean the difference between life and death. You owe it to yourself, your family and your neighbors to know and to understand procedures that you can apply quickly and intelligently in an emergency.
Every household should have some type of first aid kit, and if you do not already have one, assemble your supplies now. Tailor the contents to fit your family's particular needs. Don't add first aid supplies to the jumble of toothpaste and cosmetics in the medicine cabinet. Instead, assenble them in a suitable, labeled box (such as a fishing tackle box or small tool chest with hinged cover), so that everything will be handy when needed. Label everything in the kit clearly, and indicate what it is used for.
Be sure not to lock the box - otherwise you may be hunting for the key when that emergency occurs. Place the box on a shelf beyond the reach of small children, and check it periodically and always restock items as soon as they are used up.
Keep all medications, including non-prescription drugs such as aspirin, out of reach of children. When discarding drugs, be sure to dispose of them where they cannot be retrieved by children or pets.
When an emergency occurs, make sure the injured victim's airway is not blocked by the tongue and that the mouth is free of any secretions and foreign objects. It is extremely important that the person is breathing freely. And if not, you need to administer artificial respiration promptly.
See that the victim has a pulse and good blood circulation as you check for signs of bleeding. Act fast if the victim is bleeding severely or if he/she has swallowed poison or if his/her heart or breathing has stopped. Remember every second counts.
Although most injured persons can be safely moved, it is vitally important not to move a person with serious neck or back injuries unless you have to save him/her from further danger. Keep the patient lying down and quiet. If he/she has vomited and there is no danger that his/her neck is broken, turn him/her on his/her side to prevent choking and keep him/her warn by covering him/her with blankets or coats.
Have someone call for medical assistance while you apply first aid. The person who summons help should explain the nature of the emergency and ask what should be done pending the arrival of the ambulance. Reassure the victim, and try to remain calm yourself. Your calmness can allay the fear and panic of the patient.
Don't give fluids to an unconscious or semi conscious person; fluids may enter his/her windpipe and cause suffocation. Don't try to arouse an unconscious person by slapping or shaking.
Look for an emergency medical identification card or an emblematic device that the victim may be wearing to alert you to any health problems, allergies or diseases that may require special care.

Life in Lagos, Nigeria:

Bar beach on Victoria Island in Lagos is currently being rebuilt (again!) Every few years it seems the sea washes away part of the road on the seafront and some lucky contractor gets the job to fix it. This year though it seems the contractors may be putting a bit more effort in by making some kind of Tetrapods or whatever they are called. Those things that look like some Giant's been playing Jacks. I guess they'll be using them to create some kind of reef or breakwater that will stop the erosion on the beach. Good Job. Now if they would tidy up some of the car wrecks that litter the Lagos roads by using them in the reef too they could fix two problems at once!

RONKE OJO(a.k.a OSHODI OKE)

As a matter of fact, Ronke’s moniker-Oshodi-Oke, was derived from her heavily fortified twin mammary. The stark reality of the propensity of her “Titanic” boobs were amplified in the home video that shot her into limelight. Ironically entitled “Oshodi-Oke,” the title however had nothing to do with the upper side of the notorious Oshodi area but rather an innuendo created by her co-actor, Baba Suwe, to draw attention to her extra large appendages.

It’ll just be painted gold. The specs are also still the same with the regular Eee PC 900. U instead of the original Intel Celeron chip.Good news for those who lived in Japan.

ELIZADE THE PIONEER OF ILARA-MOKIN

ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Born on the 14th of June 1938, Chief Michael Ade.Ojo’s early years were spent in his home town, Ilara Mokin in Ondo State, Nigeria. He attended St. Michael’s Anglican Primary School, Ilara Mokin. In 1954, he proceeded to Imade College Owo, also in Ondo State for his secondary education, after which he was offered admission to study business administration at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, where he met his wife. He was one of the pioneer students of the university and he graduated in 1965 with a second class upper. Chief Ade.Ojo has always been very enterprising, which explains why he took up a job at the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources between 1960 and 1961, shortly before he gained admission into the university. He joined CFAO Motors as Assistant Sales Manager in Jan 1965 and moved to the civil service in 1967 as an Inspector of Taxes, after which he joined British Petroleum [BP], where he worked for three years, before leaving to set up ELIZADE. The name ELIZADE evolved from an inspiration triggered by nuptial union. It started with his relationship with Elizabeth Wuraola, his wife. ELIZADE was coined from the first four letters of his wife’s first name ‘Eliz’ and his middle name ‘Ade’. Together they passionately nurtured a strong vision, and this vision has been the driver of the company’s success over the years. Today, ELIZADE has grown from a single company to a group of companies with as much as seven subsidiaries including Odua Creations Ltd, a garments creations outfit that has won several international awards at various times, run by his daughter, Mrs. Deola Sagoe. Chief Ade.Ojo’s exceptional entrepreneurial skill is clearly exhibited in his position as chairman of various companies in Nigeria, like TOYOTA Nig. Ltd, Moorhouse Sofitel Limited…the list is almost endless. He has also been on the board of many successful companies at various times. These companies include National Bank of Nigeria Plc, Owena Motels ltd, and Lexington Insurance Company Ltd, Prudent Merchant Bank Ltd, Eterna Oil and Gas Limited, AP Ltd. He is a PHILANTHROPIST and has contributed tremendously to the well being of the under privileged in the society. He constructed a N10 million gate for the University of Nigeria Nsukka. He also donated a coaster bus worth N7.5million to Archbishop Vinning Memorial Church in Nigeria. He single handedly embarked on and completed a major community development project worth 205 million Naira; the 8.5km Ilara Mokin township roads in Ondo State in Nigeria. He is also solely involved in the construction of a polytechnic; Elizade Polytechnic, Ilara Mokin which is aimed at giving the average Nigerian child quality education. According to him, a man’s success in life is measured by the number of lives he touches rather than the value of his wealth. Chief Ade.Ojo’s outstanding personality has earned him numerous awards including honorary awards from various universities.

d'banj - London-based Nigerian singer and songwriter

Twenty-four year old D’banj is a London-based Nigerian singer and songwriter, as well as a harmonica master and a charismatic stage performer with boundless energy. D’banj grew up listening to music by Fela Kuti (“My great mentor.”) and has performed at Femi Kuti’s New Afrika Shrine in Lagos, as well as the Shrine Synchro System’s regular London night at Cargo and the Black President (The Art & Legacy of Fela Kuti) concert series at the Barbican in London. Without ever turning into a mere carbon copy of his hero D’banj brings Afrobeat to life and into the 21st century with breathless enthusiasm, as well as a good dose of humour. He vows that all of his songs are based on true stories of his own life, often hilarious, but also with a deeper meaning which documents the struggle of a young African trying to achieve his dreams – in his case is to be a successful artist/musician (D’banj: “D’banj is music, music is D’banj”).

D’banj performs in Yoruba, English and, like his hero Fela Kuti, in Pidgin (broken) English. D’banj was born in 1980 as Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo in the Northern city of Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria, to Colonel Daniel Duro Oyebanjo, an artillery officer, and Faith Olubukolola Oyebanjo, a business woman and church dignitary, both from Ogun State. D’banj has a brother (Kehinde) and three sisters (Shola, Yinka and Taiwo). His older brother, Femi, who was in the NDA (Nigerian Defence Academy in Kaduna), tragically died at only 17 in a plane crash when D’banj was 15 years old. Due to his father’s job D’banj’s family moved numerous times. They left Zaria when D’banj was one to move to Jos, then Kaduna, and later Bombay in India where they stayed for a year and a half while D’banj’s father worked in the artillery barracks there. When D’banj was 11 years old he was sent to the Nigerian Military School in Zaira, where he stayed for four years, after which he went to Abeokuta in Ogun State for two years to finish his high school education in 1997. He then moved to Lagos, and in 1999 started studying Mechanical Engineering at UNILAG (Lagos State University). Having lived in the Northern regions of Nigeria, means he is able to speak a little Hausa, while his mother tongues are Yoruba and English - plus he is fluent in pidgin English.Growing up D’banj was to enter the military like his father, but at 14 D’banj picked up a weapon of a different kind, and altogether more peaceful: the harmonica. He was introduced to it by his late brother Femi who played it, too.

In fact, his brother’s harmonica was one of his possessions that was recovered after the tragic plane crash, and D’banj started to cherish it. D’banj’s incredible harmonica skills are self-taught; he says: “I play the harmonica like it was built for me.” D’banj also plays the piano – his father bought a piano when the family were living in India - but for him the harmonica wins hands down - on portability which is important to D’banj as he wants music around him constantly. At school D’banj also left an impression: he came third in music in his school and also performed with his school band. Later on in 1999, D’banj came third in a talent show, part of the Music Festival and held at the Muson Centre in Lagos. While all other contestants performed classical pieces D’banj opted for performing Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” as a solo harmonica piece. D’banj also used to play harmonica in church,

at Winners Chapel Living Faith in Lagos, which is one of his best childhood memory of Nigeria.D’banj became more and more involved in music and could not see himself doing anything else with the same passion. His song “All Da Way (Airbourne)” is about the struggles he has faced with his parents over his chosen career path. Dapo had now adopted the elegant, almost French-sounding, name D’banj, a combination of his first name Dapo and his surname Oyebanjo, and went on to start his professional music career in Lagos. In 2002, he collaborated with the Nigerian rap star Ruggedman on the track “Kiss Me Again” (on which D’banj sang and played harmonica). The song was included on a compilation (released by SilverTones Records in Nigeria) which also featured Harmony, Simone, Ruggedman (solo tracks) and top Nigerian producer/artist O.J.B. Jezreel who produced all the tracks. “Kiss Me Again” generated a lot of publicity and its accompanying video went to number 5 on the Groovoids charts on MBI TV, while D’banj also appeared on many radio stations, including Eko FM and 93.7 Rhythm FM. Other tracks D’banj recorded in Nigeria were “Gba-si-be” (featuring Abounce) and “One More Wish”.
