HAVE WOLE SOYINKA'S BOOKS BEEN BANNED FROM OLUSEGUN OBASANJO'S PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY??

An oversight or intentional decision? According to a recent investigation made by Entertainment 24/7, books by renowned writer and Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka are absent on the shelves of Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo’s Presidential library, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Whereas books of other famous Nigerian authors/writers like Chimamanda Adichie, Chinua Achebe are conspicuously displayed.
A staff of the library who pleaded anonymity said since the ex President never liked the writer as shown in his write-ups, interviews and many more his books cannot grace the shelf, another staff said, “his books were not stocked hence cannot be displayed by the Library, we do not go out to stock books here with the intention of ignoring any writer/author. It must have been an oversight”. His name is also absent in the library’s hall of fame.

'EAT' YOUR FAVOURITE CELEBRITIES AT KENNY SAINT BROWN'S RESTAURANT

No! There is nothing absolutely wrong with the headline. This is a huge turn around for Nigerian gospel musician Kenny Saint Brown.
Like Kefee who just launched her branama kitchen, KSB has also delved into culinary business but this time around added a touch of creativity.
The Kennis Music act’s latest venture, a catering business has a dramatic touch as she’s named dishes after foremost celebrities in the entertainment industry.
On her menu list are stars like Don Jazzy, Kenny Ogungbe, Dayo Adeneye, Genevieve Nnaji, JJ Okocha, Funke Akindele, Shina Peters, Tuface, Obesere, P Square, Charlie Boy, Goldie to mention a few.
In a release made available by KSB’s rep, “KSB Foodies is an eclectic collection of local cuisines that promises to excite the taste buds of the callers at the eatery”.
Let’s explore some of them.
Don Jazzy mixed grill named after prolific producer DON JAZZY (spicy fried stew deluxe) contains spicy chilli pepper, tomatoes and onions sauce with some oriental spices, garnished with locust beans, ponmo and assorted meats. The logic behind this is the menu best describes Don Jazzy’s skill in dishing out delightful beats or songs. The menu should be combined with ‘P-Square Yam-Eggs’.
Oniru Fiesta named after the famous oniru beach which of course has played host to entertainment events is a sauce made from blended tomatoes, pepper & onions together with ox-tail, Ox-tongue and Cowleg.
Genevieve Diva; inspired by one of Africa’s most glamorous actresses, Genevieve Nnaji, contains juicy onions, full flavoured tomatoes and peppers. The flavour of this special sauce will just like the ace actress hold you spell-bound
Keke’s Delight was named after top showbiz personality, Kenny Ogungbe is an African soup with green veggies, okro, and yellow/red round pepper . It is gifted with snails, bush meat, stock-fish, dryfish, dry prawns, Cray fish and ponmo.
JJ Okocha, named after Africa’s best dribbler Austin JJ Okocha (egusi soup with palatable dribbles) Egusi’soup with herbs topped with smoked fish, dried prawns, tender stock fish, and other assorted meats. This will dribble down swallows like Ogbono, Eba, Amala into your stomach.
Jenifa (cross-over gbegiri soup) is made from soft and juicy local beans garnished with smoked fish and assorted meats. Funke Akindele’s resounding success in the Nollywood industry and her recent involvemnt (cross over) in English movies stimulated this.
Others include Ali Baba Ogbono soup, Tuface (rice and beans orchestra), Shinamania okro and many more.

Hmmm!Wetin KSB go cause for this one en!

It would be recalled that Cristiano Ronaldo, achieved the feat for Manchester United in the 2007-08 season.

RVP as fondly called has already beaten last season's golden boot winner Dimitar Berbatov's 20-score records.

With RVP 's spectacular performances this new season will he surpass Alan Shearer and Andy Cole's 34 record.
