The don has spoken, who are we not to listen/read? Meanwhile, have you all put your iron jackets on? The Chief of Staff, Edo State Government House, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon has reacted to Nigerian/Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi's CAF award loss, he considers it……….well, whatever you make of his speech.

"I am maniacally bewildered, overgassted and flabberwhelmed at the paraplegic crinkum crankum that characterised the Glo CAF awards culminating in an od oriferous saga cum gargantuan gaga! The jiggery pokery of CAF in crowning Yaya Toure instead of our very own prodigy John Obi Mikel is a veritable bugaboo that must be pooh-poohed by all compos mentis homo sapiens! The perfidy and Mendacity of all the apparatchic of sports suzerainty is not only repugnant but also insalubrious!

I said to my self: What an anathematous disdain of the citizenry! What a deprecable descent from the sublime to the ridiculous! Who will curb the odoriferous excesses of this machavellian and mephistophelean cabal in the Confederation? With this state of affairs, i dare say that African football is swimming in a pestilential aqua with a disastrious terminus ad quem inherently laden with avoidable cataracts, ice bergs and oxbow Lakes. It is sardonic and lugubrious!!!"

Ace Nigerian comedian, Bright 'Basketmouth' Okpocha was recently on Vox Africa London. During the course of the interview, he addressed the rape joke issue that made headlines few days back. Excerpts…
Definitely I am sorry about what happened. The people that it offended…I won't say the people that misunderstood but the people that it offended. It's not like I left Nigeria because of that, I already booked my ticket since three months ago. It limits me though. Now it limits the type of jokes I'm going to be cracking right now. Sadly, every joke hits people the wrong way. If I crack jokes about food, there are people in third world countries saying, 'Why is he cracking jokes about food? Have I chop na?' They will just go on twitter and say 'This guy should stop cracking jokes about food, I haven't eaten'."
On off limit topics.
No. If you're a comedian, you have the power to crack jokes because the truth is humour has no limits. You can crack jokes about death, living, anything you want to crack jokes about. Humour has its own education that sends a message. Everything is funny. Everything in life is funny, there is humour in everything that we do. Society actually structures one. For me, the only thing that limits me is if I go for a church event I won't crack any joke that has any X in it. Then if I go for an event where everyone is drinking and drunk with their wives, I'm not going to be cracking jokes about Noah and Solomon, I have to crack a joke that suits them. I crack my jokes according to the audience. So that's my limit. I limit myself according to the audience, but when it comes to jokes there shouldn't be any limit. But because of the culture and everything, you have to respect the fact that people might find it offensive and just hold back."On Finding jokes offensive 
The truth about jokes is no matter what type of joke you crack there are people in the audience that won't find it funny. People get offended for different reasons.  Wale Gates was telling me about a joke he cracked about his wife and how someone was upset and said, 'Why would you crack a joke about your wife.' And he said 'Look, she's my wife. If anyone is going to be upset, can you let her be upset?' And she heard the joke before and she wasn't upset. People take jokes in different ways, unfortunately everybody made it look like it's the first joke that I'm cracking. I cracked a joke about "Two things involved" and it ended up being a positive angle and nobody talked about it. The only joke that people like that I've cracked right now is about me dying. I cracked a joke about my funeral and they loved it."Source: Bella Naija!

The floodgates of endorsement deals have been opened again. Fair-skinned Nollywood Actor, Mike Ezuruonye who used to be an ambassador for ace telecommunication company, Globacom has joined their rival company; Airtel.

The actor signed the deal on the 6th of January, 2014 but made the announcement a day ago.

I know footballers venture in a lot of businesses; hotels, property, education and the likes, but Gold business is quite rare. Ivory Coast international, Didier Drogba has sealed a deal with Ity Mines Cooperation; an Ivory Coast-based Gold mine. Although he acquired 5% shares last year, the ex Chelsea star made the deal official few days ago.

The 35-year-old Galatarasay striker launched his Didier Drogba Group (DDG) business venture last year. His company was set up to participate in local investments and providing job opportunities for youths in Ivory Coast.
