El-Classico: I’m not sure Messi’s human – Enyeama

Former Super Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama has revealed that he played better than Messi at the World Cup.

BRAZIL, Pôrto Alegre : Argentina’s forward Lionel Messi (R) and Nigeria’s goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama smile during a Group F football match between Nigeria and Argentina at the Beira-Rio Stadium in Porto Alegre during the 2014 FIFA World Cup on June 25, 2014. AFP PHOTO
In the last two editions of the number one football event on FIFA’S football calendar, the Super Eagles lost to Argentina, albeit narrowly, with the Lille goalkeeper in between the pipes.


Enyeama’s best performance against the South American powerhouse was at Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg on June 12, 2010, when he prevented Messi from scoring on numerous occasions and picked up the Man of the Match award in the process.

Reacting after Messi inspired Barcelona to a 3-2 win against Real Madrid on Sunday, Enyeama tweeted : ‘’I am not sure that he is human because he is so fast,precise and so good. Messi be bossing el Classico’’

A Twitter user Olukayode Layade replied Enyeama, ‘’@vinpee …and he bossed you at the World Cup too ?. Na joke oo .’’  He fired back : ‘’@rocakay I bossed him bro. I was called el phenomenon by him and el Diego. not sure that you were born’’.Enyeama has posted eight shutouts in the current season and did not feature in last weekend’s clash against Guingamp due to a knee injury.

Samsung Galaxy S8 ‘Best-Ever’ US Pre-Orders 30 Percent Higher Than Galaxy S7, Says Company

HIGHLIGHTS
Samsung Galaxy S8 pre-orders 'best ever'
After Note 7 fiasco this will be a sigh of relief for Samsung
Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ up for pre-orders in India right now
Samsung launched its Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones in March, and rammed them with a lot of features to get customers excited. Now, a fresh statement from Samsung claims that the US pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 have been the ‘best ever’.

The statement was sent out to media outlets, and it states the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ attracted 30 percent more pre-orders than last year's Galaxy S7. After the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, these numbers will be a huge sigh of relief for the company, as it indicates the customers’ goodwill for the brand and its products is intact. Galaxy S8 pre-orders in South Korea alone reached the one million mark soon after launch.

“We are delighted to see the response to the Galaxy S8 and S8+,” Samsung Electronics America president Tim Baxter said in the statement. “The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are a result of that recommitment and the market has responded — with a more than 30 percent year-over-year growth in pre-orders versus the record pre-orders we had with Galaxy S7, making it our best ever. The response is humbling, energising and points to a great launch week. We aim to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the name of a better, smarter, more exciting experience for our consumers.”

Early adopters have reported a red tinge on their display that does not go even after tweaks in settings, and Samsung has confirmed that a software fix is on the way for the problem. Samsung has launched the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in India at price of Rs. 57,900 and Rs. 64,900 respectively. Those who pre-book the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ will get a wireless charging accessory worth Rs. 4,499 free with their handset. Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ pre-bookings are now open and the smartphones will be available from May 5.

Glo locks down Owerri with Phyno, P-Square, other stars

OWERRI—THE total communications solutions provider, Globacom, recently paraded the best musicians in the country on the fascinating stage of Imo International Conference Centre, Owerri, to deliver entertainment at its zenith.


First to mount the stage for the night was the bouncy Omawumi and her band of salsa experts as she reeled out tracks from her inexhaustible music collection and dazzled the  crowd with her award-winning tracks.
Then entered the master of dancehall, Runtown,who proved that he is indeed a master of the stage.  The groovy artiste got the entire crowd on its feet throughout his nerve-sapping performance.

His performance drew the admiration of a member of the audience simply identified as Gift as she went into frenzy on sighting the fair-complexioned music  star and passed out. When she regained her consciousness, the iconic musician took selfies with her after his performance.

Then Globacom dropped Flavour Nabania on the crowd and the entry of King of the streets, Olamide increased the crescendo of the performances.

The duo of Peter and Paul Okoye, the inimitable twins of PSquare fame drew close the curtain of the show. They were the icing on the sumptuous cake.

The combination of these Jos-born music talents on stage was spectacular. For close to one hour, PSquare displayed why they remain relevant even after 19 years of magic in the nation’s entertainment sphere. The pair kept the massive crowd on their feet with  Busybody, Personally, E No easy ee and the recent Bank Alert ­hit tracks. They ended their performance a few minutes before 2am on Sunday.

An Instagram bug has been preventing users from disabling their accounts for months

A number of Instagram users have found they’re no longer able to temporarily disable their accounts – a feature, similar to Facebook’s, that allows you to take a break from the social network for a period of time, but stops short of a full account deletion. The bug has been spotted in the wild since at least February, and is the subject of a number of complaints across social media, including Reddit, Quora, and Twitter since that time.

As Instagram’s own Help documentation explains, the account disabling feature will temporarily hide your profile, photos, comments and likes until you choose to reactivate your account by logging back in. The option to disable is only available when you log in via a mobile browser or computer – it’s not a setting you can reach through Instagram’s native mobile app, to be clear.

Many people use features like this when taking short social media breaks, as a disabled account can help you avoid the temptation of launching the app or wasting time browsing the feed.

In some cases, it’s a first step for those considering a full account deletion – an experiment to see if it’s worth giving up the app entirely. People also disable their accounts when they need to focus on something important – like a big project at work or exams at school, for example. Plus, the feature can aid when there are privacy concerns of some kind, such as when someone is a victim of cyberbullying or cyberstalking and needs to get off the service for a while.

There are a number of other personal reasons why people take breaks, too.

In Instagram’s case, you’re able to disable your account once a week, but the problems being reported are not from people who are trying to switch off their account more often than that – the feature just isn’t working at all, they’re saying.

In addition, according to many complaints, Instagram’s feature has been broken for some time and they’re not able to get any help through technical support channels.

After attempting to click the feature from their “Edit Profile” section, users say they’re directed to their feed on Instagram’s homepage, but their account remained active. People said they’ve tried this in different web browser, as well, to see if it was a bug associated with just one platform. However, the problem remained.

  

Users said that Instagram’s support email wasn’t working and they were told to report the problem in the app through an email auto-responder. But flagging bugs in the app is only a one-way street – you’re not sent any response or offered help. Others tried reaching out to Instagram through social media channels like Facebook messages and tweets, but the company hadn’t responded those complaints, either.

This speaks to a broader problem with Instagram support – users are struggling to get help when their accounts are hacked, spammed, or shut down for violations. (Just read the barrage of comments on its Facebook page, for instance.) And Instagram’s Help Center is not much help on these matters, either.

For instance, a link on its homepage that you can click to “learn more” about what to do when you’re experiencing an issue just goes to a dead page – a “5xx Server Error” page is all that displays when clicked.

We reached out to Instagram this morning for a comment on the bug, and to find out if there is a plan to address the problem.

Following our initial inquiry, clicking the option to disable your account now takes you to a broken web page. “Sorry, something went wrong,” the page now reads. “We’re working on it and we’ll get it fixed as soon as we can,” it says.

It’s unclear if this is related to the stability issues that briefly took the site an app down worldwide earlier today.

Hopefully, that means engineers are working on a fix. But Instagram doesn’t have a comment on the situation at this time. A rep for the company said Instagram is looking into the problem, and will let us know when more information becomes available.

I have been thinking about marriage lately - DJ Nana

Nigerian female Disc Jockey, Nanayate Abedoh, popularly known as ‘DJ Nana’, may soon be tying the knot with her secret lover. In January 2015, the popular female DJ who went through the hard knocks of life to gain recognition and acceptance in the Nigerian entertainment industry because she is a female, said she was not thinking of settling down in marriage yet because she was still busy chasing money and
finding a place in the industry.

Two years down the line, the Kogi State-born DJ has finally come to terms with a divine union. She revealed to Potpourri in an exclusive interview that she is now ready to settle down.
“Well, I’m not of the same opinion, a lot has changed and as a woman I feel I need more or something new. I have been thinking about marriage, and yes, I’m ready to welcome that development”, she said. DJ Nana, who was seen partying hard at Skales’ birthday recently, insinuated that she is patiently waiting for the day she would say “I do”.

Movie Review: Hits and Misses of Toka Mcbaror’s Lotanna

Celebrity stylist turned publisher (Fame magazine), Ifan is at it again and this time, Nollywood has taken his fancy. He wears several hats in his debut production, ‘Lotanna’ including actor, costumier, producer and even takes credit for creating the story.

‘Lotanna,’ after several years in the making with a change of cast finally premiered at the Nigerian box office this month. Directed by Toka Mcbaror, the movie stars Liz Benson Ameye, Jide  Kosoko, Chris Attoh, Chris Okagbue, Keturah King, Victor Olaotan, Meg Ontanwa, Ama K. Abebrese, Henry Adofo, Ifan and Raymond Iorkohol.
It follows the story of its titular character, Lotanna who has to offset a debt owed to Don Creflo by his late father.
The Hits
Costume. Ifan is in his element here! He nails this part to a tee. The costumes evoke the era in which the film took place – the 80s. To be honest, we did not expect any less.

                                                       Movie Review, ‘Lotanna’
Music. When you have Praiz on the soundtrack and Tee-Y Mix playing a music producer, your expectations are quite high. Thankfully, ‘Lotanna’ does not disappoint in its music selection to reflect the period.
Photography. Again, ‘Lotanna’ benefits from the lenses and trained eyes of Nigerian photography royalty such as Kelechi Amadi Obi and Yetunde Babaeko. Their experience is evident in not just the quality but the texture of the photography which beautifully captures the 80s.
The Misses
Story. The story starts off on a good note – a child witnesses the death of his father and makes it his life ambition to walk in his musical steps. Once the Don Creflo character shows up, the movie begins to lose steam going from drama to melodrama to comedy. The story is stretched and hurriedly wrapped up. Now who is to take the blame? The story creator (Ifan), the screenwriter (Kemi Adesoye) or the contributing writer who was responsible for the first screenplay (Godson Ukaegbu)? Or perhaps, a more experienced director would have done a better job.
Directing. From the acting to the pacing of the film, so many things went wrong. Toka Mcbaror would have done well not to get carried away by beautiful costumes, a star cast, great music and stellar photography. A lot more work was needed in the area of characterisation save for the veteran acts such as Liz Benson, Jide Kosoko, Victor Olaotan and Bimbo Manuel. Was Toka aiming for a drama or comedy or a romcom? We are not quite sure where the film sits.
Acting. While very easy on the eyes, Chris Okagbue was not convincing in his portrayal of Lotanna and the chemistry with Ama K. Abrebrese came off as more rehearsed than real. Their acting paled in comparison with the more experienced members of the cast.
Editing. The movie could have done with a good chop of redundant scenes that did nothing to move the story forward. While the recurrent motif of people’s hands being nailed provided some comic relief, it became tiresome and boring. Also, some of the more serious scenes such as the robbery could have done with a tighter edit to heighten the impact of the action.
Makeup/special effects. All those nailed hands (if they were so important to the story) could have been handled more competently to elicit sympathy from the viewer. A real shame and missed opportunity!

Tboss’ boobs have healing powers — Comedian, Akpororo

Tboss, Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija)  2017 finalist has been hugging the limelight for a while now over a number of reasons. During her stay in the Big Brother House, she sparked off series of controversies which went viral on social media, stemming from the exposure of her pierced boobs on camera, sexual assault  on her by fellow Housemate, Kemen, her inability to sing the Nigerian national anthem, boasting of having several boyfriends who own private jets and being able to spend N25 million in less than a week.

                                                                        TBoss
Even after her return to Nigeria after the conclusion  of the TV show, Nigerians have exercised no chill on the controversies surrounding her as they keep trending on social media and every other platform. At the just concluded AY Live comedy/music concert which held at the Convention Centre  of Eko Hotel and Suites on Easter Sunday, popular stand-up comedian, Akpororo, made hilarious jokes out of Tboss’ boobs. According to Akpororo, Tboss’ boobs possess therapeutic powers capable of healing any form of ailment.
Shortly after storming the stage to exhibit his comic craft, Akpororo sought Tboss’ location in the audience because he had intentions to satirize her. Finally locating where she was seated among other housemates, he made hilarious jokes out of all the controversies she generated while in the Big Brother House.
“Tboss boobs get healing powers o, imagine that kind boobs wey she show for national TV! If man no well, make them just show am Tboss’ boobs and him go receive healing immediately”, he said sarcastically.
Meanwhile, mixed reactions have continued to trail Kemen’s sexual assault on Tboss. While comedian, AY, has pleaded with Nigerians to forgive Kemen for his disgraceful act which was borne out of uncontrollable sexual urge, others, such as Rita Dominic and OAP, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi, continue to condemn Kemen’s sexual assault on Tboss. According to Rita, it is not rational to say that sexual misconduct or abuse is normal behaviour. They both advocated an outright condemnation of Kemen’s misdemeanour.

Big Brother Naija: Why I exposed my breast – T-boss

Second runner up in the just concluded Big Brother Naija reality show, Tokunbo Ajayi, also known as T-boss has disclosed why she bared her breast while on the show.

Speaking with Beat FM, Tboss revealed that it was part of her to strip naked while taking her bath.

Recall that T-boss had come under intense criticisms by followers of the programme for revealing her breast while on the show.

But clarifying the issue, T-boss said, “The Big Brother house was a place where I was myself. At home I don’t shower with my clothes on.”

She noted that stripping naked had become normal to her because, “Usually, in my house, I just walk around naked.”

T-boss said she never knew that exposing her breasts would cause a lot of drama on social media, adding that it wasn’t until she returned that her father sent her the viral screenshot that earned her so much criticism.

“He actually did a [snapshot]. He just sent me a picture of myself, and I was like, ‘Oh, Lord!”

On why she could not recite the National anthem, Tboss insisted that “I can totally recite the national anthem.

“[But] I was under pressure and tired because the whole day, we [were] in the sun, talking. It was a very emotional day and I was really drained. I had a meltdown and it was very very justified.”

The moment I found myself dancing for “Ruggedman” , “LL Cool J” and “Akon” in the Star Mega Jam 2006 in Nigeria.

                     Scooby Nero
What were some of the things you thought you would encounter in making music outside your comfort zone?
Well I never knew the difference, as I discovered my talent and love for music outside my comfort zone; that to say “I really don’t know”. As you may know I was born in Nigeria but based in South Africa almost all my life was spent there, so I really think am in my comfort zone cause South Africa is like my second home…
How did you feel when you pulled out WASHKALAKUNDA and the response you got?
I feel great, but not surprised..
Why?
I noticed people would love the song as I have, I made a 15 second video of myself vibing to it and people response’s to it was positive, so I made-up my mind it was going to be my next single. Guest that was how I knew it was going to be great & the response was massive.
Do you see yourself settling in the music industry, much longer?
Yes I do and will, it’s what I love doing and its gives me joy… An in addition to that I noticed the more I’m consistent with it the more I become a PRO at it..
So you are telling your fan’s you got them covered, right?
Yes I do and they the main reason, we keep on doing what we know best.
If you where to work with an international act, who would that be and why?
If we can include countries from around Africa as international, but if you talking other countries. Then I will say, the list is long but let me name a few. It got to be “Meek Mill”, “TY Dollar sign” and a lot more. I just got that feeling it’s gone be great collaboration with this guy’s on a track with me.
Hmm, maybe on a remix of “Nobody”?
(Scooby Nero Laughed) Kind of, that gone be mad trap for a remix.. Thanks’ to DJ Dimplez for being part of that successful track.
How has growing up in South Africa fueled your passion for music and inspired your content?
It has inspired me in so many ways, which is being able to really tell what people love from a home & aboard point of view.
What would you like to say to your fans?
Stay positive in life and watch out for “Washkalakunda (remix)” video featuring “Gigi Lamayne”, “Maraza”, “AB Crazy” & “Miz-Dee” out soon sha!, don’t know how soon; but watch out for it..
