It is no longer news that CBN plans to introduce N5,000 note by January 2013

 The crux of the matter is the implication that this will have on our individual lives and national economy. One of the indices of a GROWING INFLATION, is the creation of Higher Local Currency Bill, NO matter what CBN or the Managers of our economy say, they know too well in their minds.

Ask them in Zimbabwe! 

We will soon be buying things now sold for about N3,000 - N4,500; for N5,000.00!

It is terrible!

Why are we not emulating Ghana where they just redenominated their currency? Why can't we do same to manage our economy?

The answer is clear; if we redenominate THEY will lose the money already stolen and kept abroad. For instance if

Rumor has it that Obi Asika and Olisa Adibua Part Ways

According to reports from E247mag.com, Obi Asika and his cousin, longtime friend and ‘ partner’, Olisa Adibua is parting ways. Though no statement has been issued to that effect, E24-7 MAGAZINE’s checks revealed that the pair has decided to separate after a careful consideration of their fast waning relationship and inability to manage finances of the company together.

There are indications that the admiration and friendship they shared over two decades have waned and mistrust, misappropriation and lack of confidence have waded in in the last three, four years ago.  Since the misconceptions and lack of faith crept in, their interests as partners no longer align and they have not collectively pursued similar economic interest with vigour for the company.

As at the time of filing in this report, the company has invited their lawyers and auditors to check their books and ensure compliance. It is not clear what the erstwhile partners’ future plans are, but there are indications that Obi Asika would continue to run the business that

Women 4 Africa partners with AMREF UK

Women4Africa is pleased to announce its partnership with well known charity AMREF UK on their ‘Stand Up For African Mothers’ campaign.

Giving birth is the most dangerous thing an African woman can do. A woman in Africa has a one in 39 chance of dying in pregnancy or childbirth. For a woman in the UK, it is one in 4,600. Whilst conditions such as breech births and haemorrhaging are easily treatable in the UK, African women are likely
to die from them because so few have access to good quality health care or a trained midwife.

AMREF believes this is simply unacceptable, and what’s worse is the fact that the vast majority of these

-How did your folks react to your eventual music career?

They had always known that I would pursue a music career eventually and so they had time to come to terms with it, voice their concerns and also give good advice.

I believe I have a God given gift and it would be wrong to put aside my talent. I believe if

Prezzo

At the press conference today, Prezzo talked about the reason why he is here in Nigeria. Read the interview to find out:

You and Goldie had something together but the relationship was off and on. After she was evicted from Big Brother House, you said she used you.
Prezzo: To be honest, when I left my country for Big Brother Africa in South Africa. I went to the house as an individual. I developed feelings for Goldie and the different thing there was that you have cameras around you and you don't know if you are playing games. I have not spoken to Goldie after the show. I cam here for Goldie. 

During a press conference held for Goldie she mentioned she loved you. How can you convince your love for her?
Prezzo: In all honesty, I cared about her and she cared about me. In that house, you don't know what to
