#HNNMusic Congratulates @Iam_Davido for winning Best International Act Africa at the 2014 @BETAwards!

Like I said last month, here is a Nigerian youth whose father is wealthy and uncle is a prominent Senator but not complaining about unemployment or any other anti-government sentiments on twitter. Davido proves that anyone can be anything. He won the Best International act for Africa making him BET's KING of Africa last night at the awards in California. 

Even I am trying to subsidize my income by becoming a singer. I can sing, rap, play the piano since 3, make beats and I have 2 songs to my credit. Now I am the artist and label #IRunNigeria. Follow me @IrunNigeria on Twitter, FB, Instagram, Reverbnation and Soundcloud while still grinding as a Pharmacist, Journalist and PR Specialist.

Congratulations David Adeleke aka DAVIDO! Now I want an interview!

#HNNNigeria Angry #Ibadan Youth DESTROY EQUIPMENT after bridge collapses after rainstorm leaving 15 dead #HNNEnvironment

This is certainly how government does not work when community takes the law into their hands. At one point I had to halt tree cutting on my street during that storm and close traffic on my street until motorist and okadas get themselves together. 

No fewer than 15 people lost their lives in a flood while property worth several millions of naira were destroyed in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Ten lives were said to have been lost at Apete area of the city due to the sudden collapse of make-shift bridge which people in the area have been using since.

And following the deaths recorded at Apete bridge, angry youths yesterday attacked and vandalized the work station of the contractor handling construction of the Ijokodo-Apete road and the bridge linking the two communities, destroying equipment and property at the station.

It was gathered that a white garment church (C&S) and some buildings built few metres away from the river bank were submerged, resulting in the loss of property while five people including three children of a woman said to be under spiritual refuge in that church were taken away by the flood.

On Apete’s incident, the victims were said to be part of the huge crowd that fell over the make-shift bridge after the rain.

An eye witness who gave his name as Ariyo said he was part of the team that rescued some people who had also fallen over the bridge.

This is my PSA for National Gun Violence Awareness Month. As a global self appointed Gun Violence Activist, we are now approaching the end of this period and the awareness still needs help. At the end of May 2010 I had a press conference with Toronto rappers and there was not a single incident of gun violence in June 2010.

I warned May 22nd 2014 of a possible threat to Lagos and chatter going on. Now a female suicide bomber detonated that car bomb in Apapa. I worked in intelligence a lot in Canada and posted on Facebook on Monday about possible bombs in Abuja this week. It was ignored and Wednesday people were KILLED at a shopping plaza. Now the SSS is taking some sort of silly credit that all malls were armed INSTEAD of working with people like me. The whole thing is a joke.

#HNNMusic Is Jay-Z sick from that weight loss and Beyonce organized JOINT TOUR to watch his cheating ways?

The Internet is buzzing about rap tycoon Jay Z‘s unexplained weight loss. Photos surfaced online from the “On the Run Tour” showing the 44-year-old rapper looking gaunt and sickly onstage. I hear Jay Z is under a great deal of stress due to recent reports that Beyonce wants a divorce because she is tired of Jay Z cheating on her. According to my source, Beyonce requested this joint tour so she could keep an eye on her womanizing husband.

#HNNPersonality Meet Alexander Masson the guy in the J-Lo video. #WOW

Alexander Masson (born Jan 1, 1993) is a French Colombian male model with amazing presence. This year, Alexander made his second appearance in a Jennifer Lopez video, for her song “I Luh Ya Papi”. This further cemented his standing as one of the most recognizable and in-demand newcomers. Alexander’s immaculately maintained hairstyle of “locs”, toned physique, and easy ability to go from “adorably boyish” to “smoldering” are all factors in him being a sought after face in the industry.

Alexander was born in Arlington, VA and moved to France, where he lived for six years before returning to the United States. After graduating from high school with a high 3.7 GPA, Alexander decided not to attend college, but instead pursue his career in the modeling industry. In 2013, Alexander booked his first modeling gig in Jennifer Lopez “Adrenalina” music video where he played the role of a drummer. He left such a lasting impression that Jennifer Lopez recommended him being cast in her new music video, “I Luh Ya Papi”.

Alexander’s advice to aspiring models: “If it’s your passion, don’t give up. Take the necessary steps to ensure your success.”

#HNNMusic "Rising Star" debuts with my friends Ke$ha, Ludacris and other stars. You are the JUDGE! #HNNShowbiz

Ke$ha spoke to me in Toronto

There's a new singing competition show in the works called Rising Star and it features Kesha, Ludacris, Brad Paisley, and Josh Groban. As much as we've definitely tired of shows likeAmerican Idol and The Voice, the concept behind the series surprisingly has us intrigued. 

Ludacris spoke to me in Atlanta

Here's how the show works: Performers will sing in front of a wall and watch as viewers vote "yes" or "no" from their phones. If the singer gets enough votes, the wall in front of them will rise and reveal them to the audience. If they don't get enough votes, they'll be sent home. Other things about the show that makes it so "groundbreaking" and different from other shows:

-There are no judges meaning Kesha and Co. will have no hand in deciding who gets eliminated.
-The show is entirely live.
-There is no results show. Contestants advance to the next round immediately.

For those of you with short attention spans, that last point will probably have you hooked. Who wants to sit through hours of commercials and filler performances when all we want to know is the nitty-gritty details: who gets sent home and who advances. As un-original as singing competitions like Rising Star are in this day in age, kudos to ABC for capitalizing on our need for instant gratification. Seriously, it was only a matter of time.

#HNNShowbiz Rihanna Covers Hapers Bazaar Arabia in vintage wear. #HHNAfrica

Singer Rihanna goes MODEST for the cover of “Harper’s Bazaar Arabia“. I love this vintage look. Rihanna is proving that she is sexy with or without clothes. She showed her beauty and the art of modesty by keeping her clothes on for “Harper’s Bazaar Arabia” fashion photo shoot. The sexy singer goes in a completely different direction for her new cover of “Harper’s Bazaar Arabia,” sold  in the Middle East.

#HNNTerror SHAME!! Another BOMB I warned of Wednesday was AVERTED says #Nigerian authorities TODAY.

A suspected member of Boko Haram attempted to detonate another Improvised Explosive Device, IED, at EMEB Plaza in Abuja shortly after the explosion that killed 21 persons on Wednesday, 26 June, 2014, according to the coordinator of the National Information Centre, NIC, Mr. Mike Omeri.

Omeri made this disclosure in Abuja Friday afternoon when he led other members of the NIC in a media briefing on government’s efforts to curb insurgency in the country.

Omeri says the timely response of security agents at the scene of the attack prevented the terrorists from detonating the second explosives. I already warned them of that attack on Monday and also warned of more bombs that night. Ain't it a shame on Nigeria when you tell us to report terror chatter and you ignore us?

#HNNNigeria OPINION President Jonathan's Article in the @WashingtonPost #BringBackOurGirls #HNNMedia

Our Presidential Journalist writes an opinion article in the Post about the missing girls:  

I have had to remain quiet about the continuing efforts by Nigeria’s military, police and investigators to find the girls kidnapped in April from the town of Chibok by the terrorist group Boko Haram. I am deeply concerned, however, that my silence as we work to accomplish the task at hand is being misused by partisan critics to suggest inaction or even weakness.

My silence has been necessary to avoid compromising the details of our investigation. But let me state this unequivocally: My government and our security and intelligence services have spared no resources, have not stopped and will not stop until the girls are returned home and the thugs who took them are brought to justice. On my orders, our forces have aggressively sought these killers in the forests of northern Borno state, where they are based. They are fully committed to defending the integrity of their country.

#HNNImpact Remembering the #Toronto #Canada G20 Mayhem 4 years later (I was there!!) #HNNPolitics

Sgt Jeff Pearson had his car TRASHED below!

Today makes 4 years of some real shit I witnessed in my life time. The G20 Summit in Toronto, Canada. While I did a campaign with local rappers against gun violence for the month of June 2010, we rolled into the end  of the month with no single gunshot but serious violence in the city with arnachist of all kinds.

The 2010 G-20 Toronto summit was the fourth meeting of the G-20 heads of government, in discussion of the global financial system and the world economy, which took place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, during June 26–27, 2010. Read the entire security part on Wikipedia and how the summit personally affected me.

KJ was supposed to meed PRESIDENT OBAMA who was a new President and had been arranged by the Consulate for his blog thekidreporter.net. Our fave cop and head of TAVIS (Toronto Antiviolence Initiative Strategy) Jeff Pearson was attacked by arnachists and his car was trashed. OMG! I can tell you stories all day. 

Google the 2010 G20 anniversary in Toronto and I'm sure you will see so much today. Officer Bubbles, Chief Blair accused of bad arrests, the city had mad people in town. Thank God none of the cope got killed. I could not be a riot officer. I once interviewed the Toronto Police tactical unit after this mess. Thank GOD I passed thru Canada in my lifetime. It was the Toronto Police that supported my work giving commending statements after my controversial deportation.

#BREAKING #HNNMUSIC Remembering #MichaelJackson 5 years later #RIPMichaelJackson #HNNMemorial

On June 25^th 2009, we had nothing thrilling to hear mid afternoon when twitter still in its early stages CRASHED for the first time. I was working in a Pharmacy in Canada and the Producers on AC360 Anderson Cooper's show called me to tell me that MJ died and they wanted to know about Demerol which was the suspect drug at the time. Later Propofol was the drug that ultimately caused the lethal combo that killed Jackson. 

Michael Jackson DIED!  The King of pop who had battled so many obstacles with his health and drug abuse issues had now died of a lethal overdose combination. How could it happen? What went down to lead up to this? We learned later that a doctor who had been treating Jackson had been under pressure by the singer to make sure he was in tip top shape for the upcoming comeback tour that will never be.

Jackson who was the King of several music awards passed away. In as much as I have been a Pharmacist for 26 years, I was stunned at the combination of drugs Jackson was given. The doctor did not use professional and ethical discretion. He was convicted and went to jail. Meanwhile Jackson’s children and family as a whole had to move on. 

Paris the oldest child had her own emotional times and is watched closely on twitter by media around the world. There have been many memorials and specials on TV, radio etc. We can never forget this multiaward King of pop. Rest in Peace Michael. I am glad I got to see his historical Budapest concert. Thank you for the memories Michael. 5 years!!

#HNNParenting Baby Carrier company called RACIST for portraying #BLACK Moms Single mothers?

Is Baby-Sling Photo a Slight to Black Women?

Nothing gets past the eyes of those on social media, even if it’s not that easy to recognize at first. For example, take a look at the photo above of two baby slings made by Baby K’Tan. Notice anything odd, or different?

Baby K’Tan’s marketing department seems to be OK with portraying the white woman with a man, as part of a couple, but having the black woman shot as a single parent.

At the end of the day, here in Africa we care less as we carry the babies on the back and don't even have time to pose with it in a bag. Even men put babies on the backs here. 

#HNNParenting Family who claimed KFC booted them out of restaurant for child's graphic dog bites MADE IT UP to collect $135,000 donations

Remember the girl whose family says was kicked out of a KFC because of her facial scars? A report out of Mississippi tonight says the family made it all up and has since collected $135,000 in donations.

When this story broke, I supported the KFC saying that the family themselves should have just left the restaurant as other patrons were the ones asking that the girl's face was too graphic to look at when they were eating. There are no laws guiding discrimination in restaurants when someone's appearance is graphic. I had men bleeding holding prescriptions at the Pharmacy counter when I lived and worked in East Baltimore, Maryland USA. Many were shot and were coming out of the emergency room. Should I deny them service?

The 3-year-old girl who was reportedly kicked out of a KFC in Jackson, Mississippi, because the scarring on her face — remnants of a pit bull attack — were disturbing customers, was nothing more than an elaborate hoax, reports Laurel Leader-Call.

The family of Victoria Wilcher claimed that she and her grandmother were asked to leave a KFC restaurant because her dog-attack scars were scaring patients, prompting the fast food chain to donate $30,000 to cover the girl’s medical bills.

However, sources told the Laurel Leader-Call that the story didn’t quite add up, so the restaurant hired a private investigator to look into the issue. The findings revealed that there was no security footage of Victoria or her grandmother in the restaurant on the day they claimed they were asked to leave, and there was no record of their order.

“We continue to take this report seriously, and of course have great sympathy for Victoria and her family. Since we have so far not been able to verify the incident in our internal investigation, we have also hired a third-party consultant to conduct an independent investigation to help us resolve this matter,” franchise owner Kirk Hannon said in a televised statement Friday.

In addition to the donation from KFC, Victoria’s family had been raising money online via crowdfunding platform GoFundMe to pay for the girl’s medical bills. Prior to the reported KFC incident, her fundraising page, created April 28, had raised just over $578 from seven donors, reported the Clarion-Ledger. After June 13, the number swelled to $135,000.

Though Victoria’s family reportedly has not decided if they will accept the $30,000 from KFC, the company said it will follow through with their pledge to help the girl even if the story proves false.

“When the allegation was first made, KFC pledged $30,000 to go to medical expenses and started an investigation to find the truth. They have pledged the money even if it is proven that the incident never happened. At this point their story is full of holes. Any thinking person who follows their timeline can see it. The event at KFC never happened,” wrote Dick West, the president of West Quality Food and a KFC franchisee, on a new station’s webpage, reported the Clarion Ledger.

#HNNTerror #Baghdad BOMB blitz feared next in #ISIS Offensive

A senior U.S. counterterrorism official said that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a Sunni terrorist group, has a significant cadre of suicide bombers willing to carry out attacks.

ISIS forces nearing Baghdad's city limits, U.S. officials don't believe the relatively small, ill-equipped army of Islamic militants will be able to take the city by a frontal assault. Instead, they fear that ISIS will terrorize Baghdad by launching a wave of suicide bombings and possibly cutting off water and electricity to the city of 7.5 million.

The strategy, according to the officials, appears aimed at demoralizing residents of the city and inciting a new wave of sectarian violence that could further undermine the ruling Shia-led Iraqi government.

Asked if the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a Sunni terrorist group, has a significant cadre of suicide bombers willing to carry out such attacks, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official said that recruitment is not a problem for the group.

#BREAKING #LIVE Look what happened to me when a WASP BIT me at the Generator switch #HNNHealth #HNNEnvironment

#BREAKING at 8am this morning I was bitten by a mother #WASP nesting near the generator switch. I had turned the gen on and was going to switch power on. Not only could I had been accidentally electrocuted and even FALL down from the chair, the wasp stuck on my eyelid while I was SCREAMING trying to get it off and ten I dove into the pool. I told the housekeeper that an allergic reaction will ensue and I had to take Benadryl, an American drug not marketed in Nigeria. Diphenhydramine stops the delayed reaction that could produce swelling all over my body and also prevent me from BREATHING in an anaphylactic reaction. I already have asthma. I immediately took the Benadryl (Diphenyhydramine) and Ventolin tablets and a heavy dose of Prednisolone. It is now 1pm. This is where the swelling showed up. At the site of the bite and not my whole body and face. Does the ordinary man know that? Here in Nigeria, the drug is Puritin, Prednisone and possibly epinephrine if there is breathing shortage. This is why I have bought you #HealthReports by #DrKOO.

This is the sad way we live in Nigeria. What you are looking at is the Generator switch box on top, the meter box below it, wiring, the chair we climb and the gasoline powered generator set. We are the highest producer of OIL in Nigeria and we cannot generate power!
