He sat quietly next to a priest dressed in black who appeared to be unperturbed by the colourful character in the next seat.

The man behind the mask turned out to be Mattia Villardita, 27, from northern Italy. He was given a place in the VIP section because of his work dressing up in superhero costumes and visiting sick children in hospitals.

At the end of the audience, he was introduced to the pope and gave the pontiff a Spider-Man mask.

Zambian TV newscaster goes off script, demands payment of owed salary during live news report (Video)

June 23, 2021 No Comments

A news anchor with a Zambian TV station has shocked viewers after demanding for the payment of his salary and that of his colleagues while giving a live news report.

Kabinda Kalimina, the TV news presenter who works with KBN TV, veered off the script and urged the management to pay their owed salaries.

He made the disclosure shortly after giving a roundup of the top stories during a live broadcast.

Kabinda said; “Away from the news, ladies and gentlemen, we are human beings. We have to get paid. Unfortunately, on KBN we haven’t been paid. People are getting instruments on KBN…Sharon and everyone else haven’t been paid, including myself . We have to get paid.”

However, he was cut off almost immediately.

Reacting to the incident, management of the TV station accused him of exhibiting a “drunken behavior”, adding that his antics has brought the station to disrepute.

In the statement released by Kennedy Mambwe, owner and chief executive officer of KBN TV, it was gathered that the management is investigating how Kalimina found himself on air on Saturday night. Mambwe also said that anyone who had assisted Kalimina in his “outrageous stunt” would face disciplinary action.

The statement read; “As KBN TV, we are appalled with the drunken behaviour exhibited through a video clip that has gone viral on social media and staged by one of our part-time presenters during what should have been the main news bulletin last night.

As a young television station, we work with a very highly talented and professional team, with a noble character and we owe the success of unbroken broadcasting for the last two years to such gallant men and women. Members of the public may wish to know that KBN TV like any other institution, has very well-established grievance procedures for all members of staff through which they can channel their complaints.

“Therefore, last night’s behaviour by Kabinda Kalimina is out of character and does not represent who we are as a station. We strongly condemn that despicable behaviour and urge members of the public to treat that ‘One-Night stunt of Fame’ with the contempt it deserves.

As management, we are carrying out investigations to determine how a drunken part-time presenter found himself on air unabated and disciplinary action will be taken against anyone who may have been party to the scheme.”

June 21, 2021 No Comments

Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Bella Shmurda has apologized to comedian, Seyi Law for missing his show in Ekiti on Sunday.

The musician cited a misunderstanding as the main reason behind this.

Seyi Law had booked Bella perform at his show in Ekiti on Sunday, the 20th of June 2021.

However, the singer claimed not to be aware of the arrangement, and his label issued a disclaimer. Seyi Law responded to the disclaimer by posting the photo of the person who was paid for the appearance.

He wrote; ”Prior to the disclaimer released by Bella Shmurda, I had paid Yemi-Oyedele Tobi whose picture appears here part-payment for Bella Shmurda to perform at my show on the 20th of June at Ado-Ekiti and now, Bella’s management has refused to recognize the payment made before their disclaimer and even rejected plea to accept a new negotiation.

I am officially putting this out here before I involve the necessary authority. Thanks. The show is loaded, we just wanted a bit extra excitement, notwithstanding the show goes on. SEYI LAW.”

Bella, in response, shared this apology via his Twitter fan page on Monday, the 21st of June 2021.

He stated that he respected Seyi Law as a veteran in the industry and would never disrespect his hard work or work ethic.

He also went on the explain that the comedian’s team booked him through someone who no longer works for him, The singer also appreciated Ali Baba and ID Cabasa for trying to settle the issue.

He wrote; ”Before I proceed to setting facts straight, I want to sincerely apologize to my Egbon Seyilaw. I greatly respect him, his work and his brand and will not intentionally disregard him.

I hope we can settle this amicably and go back to doing amazing work as Entertainers together. On the 13th of June, 2021 (last week), my booking manager informed me that Egbon Seyilaw called to state that he made payment to Tobi Oyedele pka Jiggy, a former member of my team for a show at Ekiti for 20th June 2021. On the 13th of June, 2021 (last week), my booking manager informed me that Egbon Seyilaw called to state that he made payment to Tobi Oyedele pka Jiggy, a former member of my team for a show at Ekiti for 20th June 2021.

It is popular knowledge that I am currently working on a project and stopped taking show bookings for mid-June till the release date of my project as I already had some commitments for these dates and needed to focus the remaining time on my project. As these plans were already made for these dates long before now, and Egbon’s show was only brought to my attention a week ago, there was little within my power that I could do to honor his commitment, despite the efforts of my team and I.

I also want to restate- like I did some time back in March- that Seun Orekoya pka Pumping Sneh (@pumpingsneh) should be contacted for any bookings. I never at any time held Jiggy out as the person to receive payment or take bookings on my behalf and this continues to be so. Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to egbon Seyilaw. I also want to thank my Egbons @ALIBABAGCFR and @Real_Idcabasa for trying to help resolve this issue.

Thank you, Sirs.

Love always,

Bella Shmurda.”

Customs to start impounding unverified private jets by July

June 21, 2021 No Comments

The Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, has warned that private jet owners will have their airplanes impounded if they fail to verify their documents before July 6, 2021, when a month grace period would have expired.

NCS Public Relations Officer, Joseph Attah, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja at a media briefing to update the public on the ongoing audit of privately-owned aircraft operating in Nigeria.

Last month, Customs directed all private aircraft owners in the country to present relevant importation clearance documents to the agency for verification.

Issuing the notice, Attah said; “Within two weeks into the 30 days verification period, only six owners of private aircraft have responded to the invitation, necessitating this update and reminder to those who have not responded, to do so in order to avoid possible detention of their aircraft.

We learnt some are coming today or tomorrow for verification. We also know that some brought their private jets under a temporary import certificate, which has expired and not renewed. These are infractions,” he said.

“At the end of the verification, some of the things we want to expose will come to light. We will make our findings known on July 6 after the expiration of the 30-day grace window.

“Those in default risk detention of their aircraft as nobody is above the law,” he added.

Attah added that the management of the NCS believes that owners of private aircraft are highly placed individuals who would be willing to comply with extant laws governing the importation of the aircraft they own; including payments of all appropriate duties and taxes.

As an agency of government responsible for enforcement of laws governing imports and exports in Nigeria, NCS will not hesitate to invoke appropriate sanctions on any defaulting private aircraft owner immediately after the expiration of the verification period on Tuesday 6th July 2021.

“For the avoidance of doubt, private aircrafts owners or their representatives are to report to Room 305, Tariff and Trade Departments, Nigeria Customs Service headquarters, Abuja, from 10 am to 5 pm between Monday, June 7 and Tuesday, July 6, 2021”, Attah explained.

Okorocha said: “It is only an Igbo man that goes to a place and remains put in that place, buys a land and builds a house for his family without feeling insecure. The Igbos will lose more if Nigeria divides.
