EPILEPTIC POWER SUPPLY: FG gives marching orders to Discos on metres

 
 
ENUGU—The Federal Government has given marching orders to
Electricity Distribution Companies, DISCOs, in the country to supply pre-
paid metres to electric consumers without further delay.
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, SAN,
made this known at the end of his third monthly meeting with operators
in the power sector at the Ugwuaji Transmission Station, Enugu,
yesterday.
Fashola said that the meeting discussed the issue of availability of gas,
volatility of the foreign exchange market, financial capability of Discos as
well as difficulties of prising gas in dollars instead of the local currency
among others, adding that Discos must live up to their responsibilities of
meeting the demands of their customers to supply them with pre-paid
meters to avoid estimated billings.
Earlier before the meeting, the Minister had asked the Discos to always
engage their customers by informing them promptly about any power
outage and reasons for such problems.
According to Fashola, it was not the business of the government to
explain to Nigerians why certain Discos were not meeting up with their
responsibilities, having sold the various companies to them.
Fashola said government was playing the same role which the Nigerian
Communications Commission, NCC, was playing as regulator for the
telecommunications companies adding that each of them must step out
to play their roles effectively.
“If you are not getting power from the transmission company, you must
tell your customers so. The issue of review of tariff was arrived at after
consultations. You (discos) did the consultations. Why don’t you step
out and explain the issue to your customers. All of us must explain to
our different customers where we operate,” he said.
The communique issued after the meeting read: “The Honourable
Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN,
chaired the third monthly meeting of operators in the electricity industry
in furtherance of identifying, discussing and finding practical solutions to
issues facing the Nigerian electricity supply industry.

DOLLAR SCARCITY:manufacturers turn to local raw materials

 
  
The scarcity of foreign exchange has forced some manufacturers to look inwards for raw materials, investigation has shown.

Manufacturers who spoke to our correspondent said they had embarked on urgent search for raw materials and substitutes that could be sourced locally because access to forex through the official route was near impossible while getting it through the black market was very expensive.

The fall in global oil prices has weakened the naira against the dollar while the Central Bank of Nigeria maintains an official exchange rate of N197 to a dollar.

The CBN later announced the closure of its official forex window, the Retail Dutch Auction System and Wholesale Dutch Auction System and followed the action by banning importers of 41 items from accessing forex at the official market, an action, which further caused the naira to plummet.

The bank had also in August 2015 barred banks from accepting cash deposits into domiciliary accounts as a measure aimed at preventing fraud and round tripping.

But in January 2016, the apex bank lifted the ban on lodgements into domiciliary accounts while announcing that it had stopped the sale of forex to over 2000 bureau de change operators nationwide.

The action by the CBN fuelled speculation, which caused one dollar to exchange for as high as N391 at the parallel market as of Thursday, February 18.

The dollar had further increased to N400 before the naira firmed up against it on Monday and Tuesday, February 21 and 22 to exchange for N371 and N310 respectively.

A master brewer of wines, Mr. Linus Kotey, said that his company had started doing everything to find local substitutes instead of waiting for foreign exchange.

According to Kotey, who is a biochemist and the Chief Executive Officer, PEL Extracts Limited, although the raw materials for wine are locally sourced, some of the packaging materials are imported.

“We are working hard to see if we can find locally sourced packaging materials or substitutes for the current packaging that we have,” he explained.

Also, Diageo, the parent company of Guinness, is targeting 70 per cent local raw materials by 2017, the Corporate Communications Manager, Guinness, Olayinka Edmond, told our correspondent.

According to her, the raw materials for one of the firm’s brands, Orijin Bitters, are 100 per cent locally sourced.

Similarly, an agro investor and exporter, Mr. Abiodun Oladapo, told our correspondent that the firm had in the past one month been substituting soya beans for its imported feed mill.

In the same vein, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Chemstar Paints Industries, Mr. Emmanuel Awode, said the firm was scouting around for local substitutes for its paint materials.

He said, “The dollar scarcity is particularly hard on the paint industry because over 70 per cent of our raw materials are imported, but we are looking around for local substitutes.”

The Chairman, BUA Group, Abdulsamad Rabiu, in a statement made available to our correspondent, said that in the last three years, the firm had gradually divested from business areas that were largely dependent on foreign exchange in favour of businesses whose raw materials could be sourced at least 90 per cent locally

He said, “We are fully concentrating on our core business including agriculture, mining and manufacturing that are less forex-dependent.”

The President, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, Dr. Frank Jacobs, had earlier called on members of the association to focus on local sourcing of raw materials in view of the forex control and its challenges for the sector.

Medical students to spend 11 years in varsity

 
The National Universities Commission has declared that any student who wants to study medicine will henceforth spend a minimum of 10 years in the university.

The Executive Secretary of the Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie made the declaration in a lecture delivered at the maiden matriculation and inauguration of the University of Medical Science, Ondo, Ondo State.

In a lecture titled ‘Development of Medical Education : Prospects and Challenges‘, Okojie, who was represented by the Deputy Executive Secretary of the commission, Prof. Chiedu Mafiana, said the development was imperative in order to enable the students mature psychologically for the profession.

He said the 2015 document for the training of medical students made provision for students to spend the first four years in studying basic sciences in university after which they would proceed to the medical school to spend another seven years.

Stressing the need for adequate funding of medical training and practice, the NUC Executive Secretary admonished the management of the institution to ensure that the money earmarked for the development of the institution was used for the purpose it was meant.

The Visitor of the school and Ondo a State governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, in his speech said the university was expected to leverage on the benefits of the medical complex around the institution to advance efforts in medical research and training.

He expressed optimism that the institution would be a leading internationally-recognised platform for raising crops of professionally-competent individuals in the various disciplines of the health care industry.

“It is our hope and belief that it will provide sound scientific, technological and professional training to address identified health needs and problems, solve them within the context of community and national needs and sustainable development,” Mimiko said.

In his address, the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Friday Okonofua, said the that the university would achieve the objectives for which it was established, appealing to all well-meaning Nigerians to render assistance to the varsity by contributing to the ‘Friends of UNIMED Funds’ initiatives which was targeted at raising N1billion for the school .

He lauded the initiative of the Ondo State government for the establishment of the university describing it as the most creative and innovative idea that has taken place in the development of tertiary education in the country

Pregnant Woman Rejected By Cameronian Hospital,Operated By Her Niece In Open Air

 
Pregnant Woman Denied Hospital, Operated By Her Niece In Open Air (vid)

Disclaimer: The video and the pics below may be very graphic and crude to some

Mrs Koumate Monique was a cameroonian woman pregnant of twins. On the day of delivery she went to the hospital, but was denied medical attention, since she had no money.

She died at the gates of one of the main public hospitals of the city Douala (Hopital la Quintinie). However the babies in her womb were still alive. The niece of the deceased demanded that at least the lives of the babies be saved by immediate medical intervention, and she would pay for the intervention later on, but all to no avail.

This poor niece, alone with the deceased aunt and the babies moving in the womb, felt she was obliged to operate her aunt herself. She bought a blade in a shop close by, and in the midst of an amazed crowd cut the womb of the dead woman, in an attempt to save the babies.

One of the twins came out dead. The other was still breathing but some minutes later on died.
t the gates of cameroonian public hospitals, because they did not have the money to be taken care of.

Suffer From Snoring? This New Doctor Trusted Solution Stops Snoring and Lets You Sleep

 

If you constantly feel exhausted, experience headaches for no obvious reason or have high blood pressure, it could be the result of snoring.

More than a simple annoyance, snoring is also the most common symptom of a potentially serious health problem—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Over 18 million Americans snore, and it’s related to OSA. People who suffer from OSA repeatedly and unknowingly stop breathing during the night due to a complete or partial obstruction of their airway.  It occurs when the jaw, throat, and tongue muscles relax, blocking the airway used to breathe.  The resulting lack of oxygen can last for a minute or longer, and occur hundreds of times each night.

OSA has been linked to:

  • Acid reflux
  • Frequent nighttime urination
  • Memory loss
  • Stroke
  • Depression
  • Diabetes
  • Heart attack
People over 35 are at higher risk.
OSA can be expensive to diagnosis and treat — up to $5,000 — and those treatments can sometimes be quite painful. Plus, they're not always covered by insurance.
However, a recent study published by Eastern Virginia Medical School's Division of Sleep Medicine concluded that wearing a simple chinstrap while sleeping can be an effective treatment for OSA.

Incredible Military Issued Flashlight Now Available to Public

 


Incredible Military Issued Flashlight Now Available to Public

Do you suffer from "Dim Flashlight" disorder?

You know, that exasperating feeling when you turn on an old flashlight, only to discover it's foggy bulb can barely light the way to the bathroom, let alone down a dark hallway or country road in an emergency.
The truth is, most people underestimate the importance of owning a great flashlight for their home, car or boat.
Ask any fireman, police officer, military man, survivalist or hunter and they'll tell you how critical it is for them to have a flashlight at their disposal at all times. And for them, not just any flashlight will do. Those clunky plastic halogen flashlights that require C or D batteries are practically worthless -- they're just too heavy, too dim, and too easily broken.
Thankfully, recent advancements in lighting technology have taken flashlights to the next level. Compact LEDs have led to smaller flashlights that put out more light while using a fraction of the energy their old-fashioned counterparts use. But before you run out to Home Depot to buy any old LED flashlight, you need to know about a new tactical flashlight called the G700, which uses recently released military technology now available to the public.
Made out of nearly indestructible Machined Aircraft Aluminim, the G700 runs on 3 AAA batteries and is able to light the way to safety with 700 blinding lumens of light. It also houses a super cool ZOOM feature (demonstrated in the photo above), an "SOS mode" to signal for help, as well as a "strobe mode" that produces a pulsating frequency to disorient a threat within milliseconds!
One well known Navy Seal says it's the #1 Tool everyone should own as it could be a lifesaver during a natural disaster --literally!
Massive orders are coming in from Police Departments, Fire Departments, and Armed Forces, and the National Gun Owners Association just announced a whopping 75% discount on G700's for new customers (including the general public) while supplies last.
Don't miss out on this rare opportunity!

Prevent the Oversharing Craze with a Spy WhatsApp Software

 

Kids and adults alike have fared poorly from oversharing on the Internet. When your personal information is available to all on a public platform.

Kids don’t have a filter. And that can be dangerous, especially when they’re talking to strangers on the Internet. Because they could give too much away — personal information like mobile number, or pictures of themselves, or a house address.
In this case, it becomes imperative for you as the parent to very closely monitor their internet communication.
Today, I’m going to be talking to you about their favorite communication platform, WhatsApp. And let me tell you this: if you want to decide to spy WhatsApp chats, your life might just become a lot easier.

Why is Oversharing Dangerous

Kids and adults alike have fared poorly from over-sharing on the Internet. When your personal information is available to all on a public platform, this puts you at a risk of:-
  • Identity theft.
  • Financial theft.
  • Being cyberstalked.
  • Being stalked in real life.
  • Being scammed.
Adults might have a better instinct for internet safety, but kids don’t. But parents can help kids be cautious by using XNSPY. Let me explain.

XNSPY is a Monitoring Tool

Prevent the Oversharing Craze with a Spy WhatsApp SoftwareWhat XNSPY essentially does is become a WhatsApp monitor. It lets you remotely observe on a separate control panel how your child uses WhatsApp. This means you can:-
  • See who he talks to.
  • Read through all the chats.
  • See what pictures/videos/audios files he is sharing with others.
  • Go through the contact list.
In this way, you can check if your child is talking to friend or a stranger on their phone. You can go through the content of their chats to see if they’re not giving too much away.
Prevent the Oversharing Craze with a Spy WhatsApp SoftwareKids can’t tell if they’re talking to a predator who might use their photo or credit card information for the absolute wrong reasons. But you can help them surf safely.

Parenting Made Easier

Ever since these smartphones have become so commonplace, parenting has been taken to a whole new level. Because apart from bringing them up and providing for them in the real world, you’ve got to protect them in the digital world as well.
The advantage of using XNSPY is that it is a lot more than just your spy WhatsApp tool. It monitors every aspect of their smartphone usage. And that’s what you need to make digital parenting easier for yourself.

Six Simple Tips to Make your Passwords Unbreakable

 

Useful tips to secure passwords; will help you choose a strong password to secure your data and protect yourself from identity theft on the internet.

Being that every online account needs a password, it’s imperative that you know how to create a secure one. Passwords are the simplest form of online security; they are not commonly optional, and they protect every single one of your accounts.

Here are a few dos and don’ts when creating your passwords.

1. Length

Perhaps one of the most basic tenants of a good password is its length. The shorter a password is, the easier it is for other users to guess. But outside of that, shorter passwords are also much easier to “crack” by malicious users trying to brute force your password. The best way to avoid these problems is to use the maximum number of characters allowed by a website or service.
To that note, you can also learn just how secure a service is by the maximum length allowed. If a website simply wants you to use a 4 digit pin versus a 13 character password, the second is obviously much less likely to be compromised. Be careful: services with poor password requirements may be more subjected to attacks.

2. Varied Characters

Assuming your password is a good length, you’ll also want to use varied character types. This means (and is sometimes required) using capital letters as well as lower case letters. If a service allows the use of numbers or symbols (such as $ or #), they can also make it more difficult for someone to guess your password.

3. Avoid Common Passwords

As much as it might sound like common sense, many users are guilty of picking passwords that are extremely easy to guess. That’s because those passwords are based on very simple rules, usually designed to make it easier for the user to remember. For instance, someone might choose their last name and birth year as a password (john73?).
Never use “password” in any form of password; that includes with caps, numbers, or other variants. Birthdays, social security numbers, pin numbers, and home addresses are also out, as many of those things may be accessed publicly (another reason to be careful what info you share on social media). Supposing you do put together a good password, you should avoid.

4. Re-using Passwords

So now you’ve got 8 different accounts to access; it gets a bit daunting to remember all those passwords, right? The most common answer to that: use the same password for everything. And no, adding a capital letter or number to your usual password doesn’t count as “changing” the password: Beefcake, beefcake, and Beefcake1 are all going to be similar guesses for someone that’s stolen or figured out your original password (or one variation).
To combat this, keep track of what passwords go to what. This may involve keeping a small booklet, using a service, or coming up with a pneumonic device for remembering the passwords. Just make sure you don’t pop a sticky note on your monitor with all your passwords, as that too can lead to some serious consequences.

5. Use a Passphrase

When all else fails, it may be a good idea to use a passphrase instead of a password. Not only are passphrases more secure (they tend to be longer), but they’re also easier to remember. Remembering a single word, such as billabong, may be harder to remember than 12donutsinadozen.
The main limitation of a passphrase is the restriction on length some services have; however, that also makes it more likely you’ll have to invent a different passphrase for different services (making them that much more secure).

6. Security is Up to You

There are many options for creating a good password, but ultimately security is up to you. Creating a long, complicated password is great: unless you share it. Keyloggers (a form of malware) also exist to track what you are typing (thus allowing someone to steal your password).
If you want to be extra secure, use a VPN service to mask your presence on the internet. A VPN acts as a medium between you and the rest of the internet, submitting requests to websites for you and transmitting the results through an encrypted service. They’re great for maintaining security over open Wi-Fi networks, so consider that an extra layer of security.
Above all, treat your passwords like anything else important. Safeguard them and keep up with any accounts you may have open to ensure they haven’t been breached by hackers (hello Target). If you do feel your password has been compromised, change it! Remember, no one is more responsible for your security than you.

How the Future of TV Looks Like

 

The way that we watch television is changing thanks to the growth in the tv on demand industry. Find out where television could be headed in the future.

The growth in on-demand television is changing the ways we view it. There are even companies, HBO to name one, that insist you will only need one channel in the near future. Here is a look at the possible roads TV could be headed.
A very good argument could be made that the future is happening right now, it’s just that the pieces are scattered, but are slowly coming together. Recently, Dish Network got the rights to include several network TV stations, and stations owned by Disney for a TV service delivered over the Internet.
The DirecTV channel lineup will almost certainly have a similar deal in the very near future. What does this all mean?
How the Future of TV Looks Like

Cheaper TV For All

Internet TV service is going mainstream, and it will likely be a big success. With prices projected to be in the $20 – $30 dollar range, the target market will be young adults who do not care to pay large cable and satellite subscription fees.
This should trigger more competition in the market. Many cable companies have enjoyed a monopoly in certain markets for a long period of time. The Internet has no such constraints of a local market, and this could have the effect of ramping up competition, while driving prices down.

Will Channels Fall By The Wayside?

Channels are forecast to become an outdated way of organizing television content. New web-based interfaces are coming, some of them are already here as a matter of fact, that people actually enjoy using. They can allow users to search for just movies, or sports, with no need to memorize a channel.
If it is organized, it could very well be the wave of the future.

Your Own Personal Subscription

Cable and satellite subscriptions are sold to households. At least one provider has come out on record with a personal subscription service to be sold to individuals. It could very well be like a cell phone service plan, and will almost certainly allow for greater personalization of the service, and flexible pricing plans.

A Variety of Ways To Watch

With personal subscriptions, you can also count on the content being able to be viewed on more than just a TV screen.  Television no longer means the big screen in your living room, it can mean watching on your smartphone, or tablet, or your Mac or PC.
There are already some TV services you can use to watch on mobile devices within your home. Look for this service to expand, relying on fast Internet connections when you are not directly connected to your Wi-Fi system. DVR in the cloud is something that is also coming, so you can schedule and view recordings from almost anywhere.
Cable TV apps are available right now for viewing programs on your smartphone and tablet.

Better Remotes

Your smartphone and tablet computer can be used for more than just viewing, they can be used to control a video feed as well.  Mobile remotes are coming, and you can rest assured they will be better than the remote you are always losing in the cushions of your sofa.
These are only a few of the many changes that are certainly going to happen in television. But you can be sure Internet TV is going to grow in popularity. That much seems certain.

Four Latest Developments in LCD Technology

 

Four latest developments in the world of LCD technology for enhancing your TV viewing experience by making it lifelike.
Technology in television world continues to evolve. Bulky televisions are a thing of past as we move to more flat and sleek televisions. Ultra HD resolution has replaced your regular 1080p HD. While changes in picture resolution and television styles have been made, there have also been moderation in television display panels.
A few years ago, viewers got to choose between a Plasma and LCD screen. Today, thanks to constant developments in technology, LCD screens are the new thing. Not only are LCDs used for television sets; they are also used for computer monitors, cell phones, clocks and much more.
Four Latest Developments in LCD Technology

LCD screens and developments

LCD, which stands for Liquid Crystal Display, has seen rapid and constant innovations. It is a display panel used to display pictures and images for television sets.
While Plasma and LCD screens appear similar with their flat screen and thin outline, they are quite different with regards to the picture quality they offer. Even though Plasmas used to have an edge over LCDs a few years ago as they were price competitive and offered better picture quality, LCDs have introduced various developments and better package options which have made them to be as good as the Plasmas, or even better as some may say.
Here are some of the latest developments in LCD screens, in no particular order.

1. LED backlit technology

A few years back, people preferred Plasma over LCD because it offered blur-free image while LCDs tend to blur the image, particularly a fast motion picture. However, there have been improvements in backlit technology over the years.
Strong backlit technology is introduced in LCDs now. The improved fluorescent backlights allows for greater illumination which is synched with the display content. This has greatly improved the overall picture quality as well as enhanced motion sharpness. Apart from the much better picture, LED backlighting also consumes less power and has a longer life compared to traditional LCDs which used cold-cathode fluorescent lamps.

2. Improved display resolution

LCD manufacturers have improved the display resolution of the screens. Transitioning from a High definition (HD) to Ultra HD resolution, which provides greater density of pixels, has increased the popularity of LCD panels. The image quality is better than ever.

3. Reflective LCD

Manufacturers have also introduced reflective displays to their LCD screens. The backlit technology is not sufficient when viewing in sunlight. The reflective liquid crystal uses the natural light instead of backlit technology in the LCDs which has made it possible to see the picture or color in sunlight.

4. Wider viewing angle

The TFT technology which is short for thin-film-transistor is a technology used in LCDs to overcome some of its limitations. These limitations include limited viewing angle as well as low color quality. The implementation of this technology has allowed for a wider viewing angle by adjusting the contrast ratios. This is done by the relocation of liquid crystal molecules. As a result you can now view the picture clearly, without having to adjust your viewing angle.
Due to the developments in LCD technology, it is no surprise that they enjoy a primary position in the display market and are continuously growing to occupy a larger market share. LEDs are bound to be a part of the future. Since OLEDs are quite expensive, LCDs have only Plasmas to compete with.

How Don Jazzy denied Ben Bruce birthday request

 

of popular music like colossus, D'banj and Don Jazzy have not been

the best of friends.

But despite their lingering differences, it's the utmost desire of their
fans to behold the former label mates and joint owners of one of
Nigeria's biggest record labels, Mo'Hit (now rested) come together
someday to perform some of their old hit songs as well as record a
duet that would rekindle their relationship that is now strained
strained.
However, while everyone was looking forward to seeing that happen
last Friday, at the 60th birthday party of Senator Ben Murray-Bruce,
reverse was the case.
The birthday bash, which held at Eko hotel and Suites,Victoria Island,
Lagos, had in attendance the ‘who is who’ in Nigeria political circle as
well as the entertainment industry. D'banj and Don Jazzy were among
top Nigerian music acts that graced the glamorous event.
After several electrifying performances by other notable artistes, it was
the turn of the “Oliver Twist” crooner to thrill the large audience.
Dressed in black suite upon white shirt and bow-tie, D'banj had gone
into the crowd to fish out Ben Bruce and dragged him to the stage.
And while on stage, Bruce specifically asked for a special present, as
he started calling out Don Jazzy to join them on stage. This could not
come true as Don Jazzy had left the venue before D’banj mounted the
stage to perform. People did not know that he had left.
“I will like you and Don Jazzy to do a duet,” Ben Bruce said, calling
out Don Jazzy to join them on stage. But the the Mavin Records boss
was nowhere to be found.
At that point, D’banj opened up, "Uncle Ben, what you are asking me
to do, I have done already. As I was mounting the stage, I saw Don
Jazzy sitting over there and I told him I would call him on stage for a
joint performance, but now he has run away. If he brings the beat
today, the song will be ready tomorrow,” D'banj said, after efforts to
get Don Jazzy to join them on stage failed.
Meanwhile, defending his action, which has since gone viral online,
Don Jazzy refuted the allegation that his action was a deliberate
attempt to avoid performing alongside his former label mate.
In a series of tweets during the week, the MAVIN boss maintained that
he had left the venue before D'banj mounted the stage to perform. He
claimed that he had performed alongside D'banj about three times in
the last one year.
According to him, “I have performed alongside D'banj about three
times in the last one year. Moreover, I had left the venue way before
D'banj's performance. I already announced that I am taking a break
from being an artist. Hence, I didn’t perform “Surulere” with Dr Sid
and “Concur” with Timaya.”
In as much as it would be difficult to exonerate Don Jazzy from
blame, there were incidences in the recent past that pointed to the fact
that the former label mates were not ready to give their fans a
welcome surprise. It would be recalled that 2face among others once
urged the former business partners to bury their hatchet and come
together to do a duet to silence their critics.
Also, last year, D'banj hinted that he would be dropping a new song
with Don Jazzy as their first collaboration since they rested Mo’Hits.
But till date, that has not happened.
Beauty queens, Jeffrey Daniels, 2Baba, others pay tribute to Ben Bruce
It was also a pay back time for Ben Murray-Bruce as top Nigerian
musicians took turns to celebrate the showbiz icon, who has done a
lot for the entertainment industry at no cost.
On-Air Personality, IK Osakioduwa and comedian Bovi took the centre
stage as comperes after the book presentation session which was
anchored by former Minister of State Petroleum Resources, Odein
Ajumogobia, who claimed that he had never anchored an event before
then. The day was spiced with a medley of musical performances
from artistes spanning different generations.
It was a blend of the old and young musicians who thronged the venue
to celebrate the man who is known as the game changer in the
Nigerian entertainment industry.
Opening the floor that night was Fuji king, Adewale Ayuba, followed by
Alariwo of Africa. But it was Ras Kimono's performance that got the
audience singing along with him and dancing as he took them through
the music of the ages. The Rub-a-dub master and reggae music
legend rendered some of his evergreen numbers including,“Under
Pressure”, “What's Gwan?”, and the whole hall erupted with gyration.
Also, Ben Bruce's friend of 35 years, Jeffrey Daniels of Shalamar fame
relayed how Bruce was insistent on bringing top notch entertainment
to Nigeria when he could have easily done his ‘thing’ in the US. He
later took to the stage and gave an electrifying performance of songs
of the RnB vocal group that was active in the 1970s and early 1980s,
with singer Yinka Davies backing him up.
Displaying old school dance-steps, Jeffery Daniels thrilled, performing
the songs that made the group famous in the 80s, “ Make That Move”
and “Second Time Around.”
Other musicians that equally thrilled the audience were Ycee, 2Baba,
Vector, Timaya, Olu Maintain, Ruby, Dr Sid, Sound Sultan, WizKid, MI,
Jesse Jagz, Reekado Banks and Timi Dakolo. Others that turned up
but didn’t perform included Teemac and Darey Art Alade and a lot of
Nollywood big wigs. Reggae music legend, Majek Fashek was spotted
at the event, but he did not make any stage appearance.
An excited Bruce joined Korode Bello, to dance on stage as he
performed his wave making song, "God Win" which compere IK
Osakioduwa revealed was specially requested by the celebrant.
The event also featured a colourful line-up of beauty queens from
different countries, who presented special gifts to Bruce and wished
him well in their different languages - English, French and Portuguese.
SilverBird is noted for organising beauty pageants such as Most
Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN).
