he members of the G.O.O.D. Music Record label recently covered Complex magazine. Unfortunately, Nigeria’s own D’Banj was not included on that cover. EverywhereNigeria had the following to say about this act done to our very own celeb: ‘Many may use this as an opportunity to laugh at D’Banj, but I think that we should all take this as a lesson. With the way that D’Banj is being treated as second rate in America, one must really ask, was it all worth it? He was a respected king in Nigeria. He had a beautiful family with Mo’Hits, why did he throw it all away? All in the name of Americanizing. Nigerians, be proud of who you are, be proud of where you come from, and remember to never hold anyone above you. Americanizing yourself does not necessarily mean that you are BETTERING yourself. Instead you are only making alterations. Alterations that you find out are not needed. Hopefully many of us can learn from D’Banj instead of learning the hard way. Be a king in your own jungle’. But looking at this case critically, informationnigeria gathered that the Koko master was not left out in the inside cover, and this is one area where one gets very logical about how Nigerians tend to take half information and neglect the other part. Even though our own celeb didn’t make the cover, as not everyone would have been able to make it, he was not left out in the list of those that made the inside cover, stamping his membership in the house of GOOD MUSIC. The Koko master is at the left bottom.

over thosands of people rendered homeless in jos nigeria

Over 3000 people have been rendered homeless, and over 200 houses destroyed, in a torrential rainfall in Jos, capital of Plateau State. This compounds the misery in the area, which has lately been the scene of intense communal and religious violence. The areas mostly affected by the rain and floods are Rikkos, Ungwan Rogo, Gangare, and Ali Kazaure. Abdulsalam Mohammed, an official of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), which is giving some relief materials to those affected, said his agency was liaising with traditional rulers about the distribution alongside continuing with the search for the many people that are still missing. According to some of the affected refugees that SaharaReporters talked to, many families are still looking for their loved ones.

Ghana President John Atta Mills died suddenly Tuesday hours after being taken ill and months before he was to seek re-election in the country seen as a bastion of democracy in west Africa.

The 68-year-old Mills, who oversaw the start of large-scale oil production in Ghana in December 2010, had recently traveled to the United States for a medical check-up. His cause of death was not given.

In accordance with Ghana's constitution, Vice President John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as president before an emergency session of parliament following the death, pledging to maintain stability as he serves out the remainder of Mills' term.

"I wish Ghanaians to be assured that all is well," he said. "We are going to maintain the peace, unity and stability that Ghana is noted for."

He declared a week of national mourning, with flags to be flown at half-mast.

Mills died in a hospital in the capital Accra while receiving treatment, his office said. While the cause was not specified, he had recently shown signs of illness, including recently losing his voice and a gradual loss of weight.

The late president had recently travelled to the United States for what had been described as a routine medical checkup.

There were unconfirmed reports in local media that he had throat cancer, while false rumours of his death had also previously spread.

Presidential elections are set for December in a country seen as a rare example of stable democracy in west Africa and which recently joined the ranks of the world's large-scale oil producers.

Mills was to be the ruling party's candidate after fending off an unprecedented challenge for the nomination.

Condolences began pouring in for the late leader, including from US President Barack Obama, who chose Ghana for his first visit to sub-Saharan Africa as president in 2009.

"President Mills tirelessly worked to improve the lives of the Ghanaian people," Obama said in a statement.

"He helped promote economic growth in Ghana in the midst of challenging global circumstances and strengthened Ghana's strong tradition of democracy."

West African leaders, including in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Togo, paid tribute to Mills.

The capital Accra was sombre, with activity slowing and residents gathering in the streets to discuss the news.

Emmanuel Bombande, executive director of the the Accra-based West Africa Network for Peacebuilding, said "people have a lot of faith in the Ghananian constitution", adding that he trusted the transition would be an orderly one.

"It was a total surprise, although ordinary people knew that the president had not been 100-percent well," he said, mentioning his recent trip to the United States. Bombande called Mills "a man of integrity".

Pindana Mohammed, a market trader in the capital, said he was shocked by the news when he heard it on the radio.

"I am not a supporter of the ruling government, but I respect so much the president because of the way he carried himself," he said.

Mills took over as Ghana's president in January 2009.

He narrowly won the vote in 2008 with a less than one percent margin against a candidate from the party of incumbent John Kufuor, widely respected for having bowed out following his two terms in office.

In July last year, Mills was nominated to be the ruling National Democratic Congress party's presidential candidate for December 2012 elections.

The primary represented the first time in the country's history that a sitting president competed for his own party's nomination.

Mills beat his only rival in the party primary, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, the wife of ex-military leader Jerry Rawlings.

He rose to prominence in 1997 when Rawlings named him vice president -- a position he held until the former coup leader-turned-elected president made way for Kufuor after the 2000 elections.

After finishing his law studies in Britain, Mills came home to teach law for 25 years at a Ghana university.

Ghana, a country of some 25 million people, recently joined the ranks of the world's large-scale oil producers.

The country has begun producing oil from its offshore Jubilee field, one of the largest discoveries in West Africa in recent years. The field's operator Tullow has estimated that the field's recoverable resources amount to up to one billion barrels.

The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has debunked the insinuation going around that it has released the result of the 2012 May/June West African Senior secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

In a statement made available to journalists in Lagos by Deputy Director (Public Affairs), Yusuf Ari, the examination body says it has only concluded the marking of the examinations papers and has not release the result.

The examination body further warned candidates and other stakeholders to be wary of falling victim to the schemes of fraudsters.

erps knocks jonathan over budgets implementation

Lawmakers in the House of Representatives yesterday threatened to commence impeachment moves against President Goodluck Jonathan over refusal of the Federal Government to implement the 2012 Appropriation Act.

Trouble started when Rep. Albert Sam-Tsokwa (PDP, Taraba) and 20 others moved a motion on “Non-Implementation of the 2012 Budget’, arguing that the “2012 National Budget was passed with an aggregate expenditure figure of N4.887 trillion, including the N180 billion for Subsidy Re-Investment(SURE) Programme”.

Tsokwa expressed regret that despite huge earnings from agencies of government in the 1st and 2nd quota, the Federal Ministry of Finance  under Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was yet to release monies allocated to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

Chairman of the House committee on Appropriations Rep. John Enoh (PDP, Cross Rivers) lamented that the government has consistently refused to implement the budget.

For his part, Chairman House Committee on Defence Rep. Bashir Adamu Kazaure (PDP, Jigawa) said “there are other governments within the government who appropriate funds with impunity without recourse to the National Assembly.”

Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin (PDP, Kano), who chairs the committee on Finance reeled out figures from the various revenue generating agencies.

The House unanimously passed a single resolution urging the President to direct  Finance Minister to “stop forthwith continued violation of the 2012 Appropriation Act by releasing all outstanding funds to MDAs.”
