Toke Makinwa advocates against Tribalism, recounts a personal experience
What the media personality shared on instagram this morning concerning tribal differences...
'There is so much to say on this topic, it is heartbreaking but real. Tribalism has been and is still been practiced today. Lagos is home for everyone, our generation knows better too. Let's not let this come in between us, the OBA's statement was ignorant but do we really blame him? We all at some point in our lives have been on the receiving end of acts of tribalism. Let's take out the tension and be real with each-other. Our parents generation practiced tribalism openly and they were not corrected. In some homes befriending people from other tribes was frowned on, marrying from another tribe is still being frowned on today, tribalism even from people of the same tribe is real too. What we need is to educate and not instigate. I had Igbo friends growing up, I was the only Yoruba girl in the midst of Igbo girls. Did they make fun of me? Sometimes but it wasn't out of malice. We lived, we loved and we are still very close. I have had a friend's mum tell me "haaa omo ondo ni e? Mi o mo ooo, a kin ba ondo sore" meaning - I'm from Ondo? She didn't know.... If she had, she won't let her daughter befriend me cos they don't like Ondo people, Ondo and Ijebu don't mix... I was shocked. She went ahead and said "You Ondo people are wicked".
My friend is from Ijebu ooooo, we are both Yoruba girls and that statement was made by her mum. We are still friends today and her mum got over it. Please educate people around you. Vote who you want, vote your conscience but please stop with the tribalism comments. Our beauty is in our diversity. It is a distraction, don't fall for it. Let's all live as one.'
Nollywood director Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi responds to Kunle Afolayan's tweets about the Igbos
"I almost ignored Kunle Afolayan's useless tweets about Igbos being the only Pirates in Nigeria because to me, Kunle is just an over rated Nollywood film maker. He's not better than Izu Ojukwu, Teco Benson, Obi Emelonye, Chineze Anyaene to mention but a few.
The secret of Kunle is his DOP Yinka Davies who does everything for him and at the end of the day Kunle will just come and announce 'action'... Give him another local DOP and see if Kunle is worth all the praises his kinsmen showers on him. Kunle should thank Peace Anyiam Osigwe for giving him the platform of AMAA as a pedestal to limelight. Trust me, if Kunle walks the street of Onitsha, Aba, Enugu or any where outside yoruba land, not even one person will recognise him as a celebrity. I will rather worry myself with the Oba's threat to Ndi igbo than spend one second of my time thinking about Kunle's senseless tweets about the Igbos.

Kaffy releases new pics as she presents Ijoda9JA Dance Burn-Out DVD
Like Oprah
Winfrey, I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that is as
unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what
you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service,
working hard...”
This is to introduce what a
woman can attain through dedication, hardwork, perseverance and innovativeness.
Kaffy D Dance Queen has epitomised these values through the obvious niche she
has created for herself in the danceand entertainment industry. She is a
dutiful wife, wonderful mother of 2; whilst combining these multiple and
challenging roles, dared to become a successful business entrepreneur.
Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the
body and of course, everyone has at least one workout
that they love to do. For me, my customised complimentary copy of KAFFY's "Ijoda 9ja Dance Burnout DVD”
gives me an unbeatable experience of dancing and it’s also partly responsible
for my fitness (LOL) even with my very tight schedule.Kaffy is taking the dance
industry in Nigeriato higher notcheswith her rebranding efforts.

high and low impact, dance cardio workout to your favourite Naija& African
Tunes like Eminado by Tiwa Savage,Skelewu by Davidoand many more.It also

Things are that bad? Rapper DMX accused of armed robbery
The man claimed he recognized DMX at a filling station on Highway 21, walked up to him and struck up a conversation with him about music. He said while talking with the rapper, a person in his entourage pulled a gun on him and demanded money. The man claims he pulled a wad of cash out of his pocket - about $3,200, which DMX snatched before escaping in a caravan of Caddilac Escalades.
The man said he followed the vehicles for a while and was able to provide a license plate tag number for one of the vehicles to the police. The case is under investigation. Hopefully, he mistook the thief for DMX
