Stars parade live bands for Glo Slide‘n’ Bounce

Flavour with two fans at the event
Music freaks in Port Harcourt had a taste of real live action last
weekend, when Globacom let loose some of its ambassadors in
the Rivers State capital.
Top on the list were Ayo Balogun, popularly called Wizkid, and
Chinedu Okoli, also known as Flavour, who went beyond miming
as they headlined the Glo Slide ‘n’ Bounce concert.
Apart from the fact that both artistes showed that they are still
very much in form, they stormed the Garden City with their
bands, a trait that has become a rarity at many events in
Nigeria.
The two, along with Bez and Burna Boy, thus gave the residents’
who gathered at the Aztech Arcum Event Centre, venue of the
show, a memorable experience.
According to the organisers, Wizkid performed his popular tunes
that include Ojuelegba ,   which sent his fans wild excitement.
“Flavour also put up a command performance, dishing out his
very popular beats such as Ada Ada and Baby Oku and wriggling
his waist to the delight of his fans. Quite significantly, Wizkid
and Flavour came with their live bands which boosted their
performances and excited the audience even more,” they added
in a statement.
Soul singer and guitarist, Bez, was said to have performed his
popular track, That Stupid Song, and others while Burna Boy also
excited the audience with Checks and Balances, and Run my
Race. Complementing the artistes’ performance was popular
disc jockey, DJ Xgee, who played popular dancehall tunes from
his turntable.
While Okey Bakassi, the compere, made jokes, newly-signed Glo
ambassadors, Chiwetalu Agu and Patience Ozokwor — Mama G
— were special guests at the event.
“Agu and Ozokwor described Globacom as a world-class brand,
which has demonstrated commitment to the empowerment of
Nigerians, with its products and services. The trio of Nemibo
Alababa, Kelvin Orere and Joyce Akinrinmade emerged winners
of the dance competitions and carted home several Glo branded
prizes.

Nigeria gets Africa's first football pitch lit by players

Lagos (AFP) - Africa's first football pitch lit solely by the players' movements has been inaugurated in Lagos, the economic hub of power-starved Nigeria, at a ceremony attended by US-Senegalese rapper Akon. The technology, invented by a young British engineer, consists of placing electronic tiles under the artificial turf, which is converted into power by kinetic energy. Also read: 78 persons regain freedom from prisons in Nasarawa State. Each time a player steps on a tile, seven watts of electricity are generated and sent to a battery. The stored power helps to feed six powerful but low consumption LED floodlights that shine on the pitch. Solar panels around the pitch complement the technology, stocking electricity throughout the day. The system has already been installed at a football pitch in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, in football-mad Brazil, which hosted the 2014 World Cup. "It's brilliant," said Kusagba Oluwadamilola, an 18-year-old spor

I work for Lagos policeman, says suspected robber April 11, 2016

 Afeez Hanafi A 21-year-old suspected robber, Akeem Popoola, says a police inspector attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, uses him to swindle unsuspecting victims. He said he had worked for the policeman, identified as Inspector Festus, aka Ijaya, for about four months before he was arrested. The carpenter, who is currently in custody at the Agbado divison, Ogun State, was arrested for robbery and burglary. A mattress and speakers of a sound system were reportedly recovered from him in the Giwa area of Agbado on April 6. He told PUNCH Metro that apart from burglary, he used to collect phones from the inspector and he would later sell them. He added that Ijaya and two others – Abbey and Aluko – would get the buyers arrested minutes later for buying stolen items. Akeem said their victims paid Ijaya between N120,000 and N150,000 before they were released, adding that he got N5,000 as his share on each ‘deal’. “In November 20
