This is coming two months after the octogenarian told PUNCH newspapers about her struggle for survival.

“I have been managing. It has not been easy at all. Since he died, I have not had substantial support. I have been surviving on the rent I collect from the house Rashidi built for me as well as the proceeds from my petty trade.  As you can see here, I sell bread, biscuits and some other household cooking materials. I use the rent to do some little repairs on the house and also to find at least a meal a day or more depending on what the day brings.” She revealed.

Prior to his conferment, 2Baba on the 11th of August, 2016 spearheaded a ‘VOTE NOT FIGHT’ campaign session which held at the Youth Centre in Benin, Edo State. He spent the day sensitizing the youth on the need to remain peaceful during and after the forthcoming electoral process. 

2Baba spoke at length to the youth, on the need to refuse being lured into violence by power hungry politicians and enjoined the gubernatorial elections candidates who were present at the session, to not adopt a do-or- die mentality towards the forthcoming elections. He further urged candidates to maintain the peace despite the result of the elections. The speech was met with a rousing applause from his audience after which he made both candidates and youth sign the VNF pledge form and make public statements to show their commitment to the VNF campaign.

The award winning songster also embarked on a media tour to propagate the message of non-violence during elections. This  followed  the very successful first phase of the ‘VOTE NOTFIGHT’ campaign.
His first stop was at the ITV studios where  he discussed the ideals of the ‘VOTE NOT FIGHT’ campaign with TV host, Emmanuel Akpolohor. He proceeded to Raypower 105.5fm studios also in Benin city, where he shed more light on the workshop and rally held on the 11th of August, 2016.

Adekunle Gold: The 'Golden King' releases new promo pictures

The Golden King by his own admission, rave of the moment artiste, Adekunle Gold has released new promotional pictures as one of his many strategies of branding with the keynote revolved around expressing all facets of his life.
As the pictures well represent, Adekunle Gold displays an unmistakable Afrocentric, cultural vibe From his beautifully patterned and colourful shirts to his golden coloured robe, there are discernible elements of his African identity. From his signature Adire to the map of Africa accessory on his neck, the identity of the singer is definitely unquestionable.
Most striking is the image where he appears donning a golden robe with musical instruments surrounding him. The contrast between the keyboard and the local drums make another emphatic statement.  
The artiste does not make any attempt to hide that there is foreign influence in his music but by the number of drums and other African musical instruments evident in the picture, there is no mistaking the fact that his Yoruba culture and African identity bears heavily upon his foreign influence.
Finally, one cannot but marvel at how he expresses the passion for his gift through the colourful images of him performing  and clutching his microphone . Adekunle Gold is one artiste that is determined to keep music and art lovers alike spellbound for a very long time!

NHVMAS launches Leaving No Nigerian Behind (LeNNiB) campaign

The new HIV Vaccine and Microbicide Advocacy Society (NHVMAS) has launched the Leaving No Nigerian Behind (LeNNiB) campaign. 

According to the Group, “As you are aware, there is a global sense of urgency to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. Leading to this is the need to reach the 90-90-90 target by 2020.
One of the slogans is ensure that no one is left behind in the HIV response. However we community advocates are deeply concerned that Nigeria may be left behind the drive to end the global HIV epidemic. We as community members therefore, out of a deep sense of responsibility to ourselves, identify the strong need to push for all stakeholders to be accountability for the progress we make toward the 2020 and 2030 global targets.

Currently, we have about 3.4 million people living with HIV infection, 210,000 new infections annually, less than 10 million people taking a HIV test annually, only 30% PMTCT coverage, and less than 30% treatment coverage. There is also a decline in condom use, an increase in the number of adolescents with HIV infections including those newly infected with HIV as adolescents due to high sexual risk behaviour for HIV infection, and a whole lot more.

Yet Nigeria is one of the largest recipient of donor funds for its HIV response programmes. 

The new HIV Vaccine and Microbicide Advocacy Society (NHVMAS) shall be leading the Leaving No Nigerian Behind (LeNNiB) campaign leading up to 2020 and 2030. We shall work with partners nationally, regionally and internationally to demand that all respective actors in the HIV field, including we community actors as well, become more accountable to the HIV response. As a community, we shall develop an advocacy campaign making it very clear what our demands. These will clearly focus on targets jointly defined by stakeholders on what we want to do and how we plan to reach the 2020 and 2030 goals. We shall be holding stakeholders accountable for impacts in the both the HIV prevention and treatment landscape.
We are grateful for the little steps but we demand more.
