Tope Alabi is a pioneer of some sort in the contemporary Yoruba
gospel movement. Together with other gospel practitioners they have
"pushed the envelope" in redefining the boundaries of Gospel, by
blurring its ties to circular soundtracks. Make no mistake; God is
present in every song this beautiful wife and mother produce.
From the groundbreaking success of nine albums to how she manages her
male fans. The chat with EDIALE KINGSLEY is anything but boring.
WE are coming to another album launch, how has it beenso far? And the
journey to this particular album, how has it been?
I bless the name of the lord, for giving me this opportunity, for
taking me from mere clay to where I am today, I bless his holy name,
this is the 9th album, and this is not a launching, this is an
unveiling, we just want to unveil it, nobody is going to launch,
everybody is just going to pick their own, just give anything you
like, even #500 is not small, even 200naria is not too small, I just
want to bless God for taking me this far, it has been so
rough, tough and I have experienced a lot of things, turbulence,
if I can say, but yet bless the name of God, for making me stand up to
this present time.
Who writes your music?
God, He dictates for me, while write down.
How do you get inspiration?
It is God, God gives me the inspiration, and this is what I want to
tell my people this time around, like this Agbelebu, God gave me the
title. There is no way that I would write that God won't tell me the
title, I pray and do fasting; wait for God to talk, at times I would
be in the rest room, he will be talking to me, at times I would be
sleeping he would wake me up.
You look quite astonishing, you look young and beautiful, and do you
get people coming to pester you for arelationship?
There are some of them that wants to get to you by all means,whether
you want it or not, but when they get to me, they use tosee am not
that kind of person, they will now become a memberof my church. The
relationship is usually as if I have a churchand they are members, so
that's what they become. Among themare a lot of money bags, they help
my ministry now, they see meas prophetess, some of them even call me
pastor, even there are ministers of God that pester me and say they
want to get to me,but when they get to me and they see I'm not like
that, they change, you are there to change life.

Suicide bomber strikes Catholic church in north Nigeria; 2 killed, 45 injured
BAUCHI, Nigeria — A suicide car bomber attacked a Catholic church
conducting Mass in northern Nigeria on Sunday, killing two people and
wounding another 45 in a region under assault by a radical Islamist
sect, officials said.
An Associated Press journalist heard the explosion after 9 a.m. Sunday
in the city of Bauchi, which has seen a number of bombings and
shootings blamed on the sect known as Boko Haram. The blast appeared
to hit a parking lot alongside the St. John's Catholic Church in the
city.
Police and military surrounded the church and did not allow
journalists inside the cordon. Later at a nearby hospital, Bauchi
deputy police commissioner T. Stevens told journalists told that the
bomber had been stopped at the church's gate, where he detonated the
explosives packed inside his car.
Doctors cautioned more could die from their injuries.
"The situation has been brought under control," Stevens said. "We have
our men minding all areas."
Stevens said no group or individual had claimed responsibility for the
attack, though suspicion immediately fell on Boko Haram. The sect,
whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the Hausa
language of Nigeria's north, has been waging an increasingly bloody
fight against nation's weak central government. More than 680 people
have died in drive-by killings and bombings blamed on Boko Haram this
year alone, according to an AP count. The sect has demanded the
release of all its captive members and has called for strict Shariah
law to be implemented across the entire country.
The sect has used suicide car bombs against churches in the past, most
noticeably a 2011 Christmas Day attack on a Catholic church in Madalla
near Nigeria's capital. That attack and assaults elsewhere in the
country killed at least 44 people. An unclaimed car bombing on Easter
in Kaduna killed at least 38 people on a busy roadway after witnesses
say it was turned away from a church.
Attacks against churches by the sect have waned in recent weeks.
Nigeria's military claimed it killed the sect's spokesman and a
commander Sept. 17 outside the city of Kano, potentially shaking up a
sect that has continued attacks despite a tighter military presence in
northern cities.
The killing of members of the sect's senior leadership comes as the
group recently changed some of its tactics and attacked more than 30
mobile phone towers throughout northern Nigeria, disrupting
communications in a nation reliant on cellular phones.
Saturday night, the military conducted door-to-door searches in the
northern cities of Damaturu and Potiskum, areas now under a 24-hour
curfew that have been hard-hit by the sect.

OMOTOLA’S HUBBY, CAPT. MATTHEW SACKED FROM AIR NIGERIA
Omotola Jalade- Ekehinde husband, Captain Matthew Ekehinde was said to
have been relieved of his job alongside others.
It was reported that Captain Matthew was among the 800 staffers
relieved of their duties by the CEO of Air Nigeria, Barrister Jimoh
Ibrahim few weeks ago over what he called disloyal and lack of
commitment to the company.
It was said that he is presently hunting for a new placement now.
A little quizzical is what is expected of where the father of four
will be heading to, but an insider squealed that he is working so hard
to get a new job at the troubled Arik Airline or better still, a very
reliable foreign carrier that is ready to agree to his terms and
conditions.
A call and text message put through to his wife over his husband's
current state is yet to be replied.
Captain Matthew, according to some of his friends is very diligent and
committed to his work, but has been very unlucky with most of the
airlines he had worked with.
It would be recalled the pilot had worked with the defunct airlines;
Skyline and Sosoliso before joining Air Nigeria few years ago.

Ugo Ozuah allegedly shot dead by police just 5days after his wedding
Ugo Ozuah was allegedly shot by men of the Nigerian police force in
front of the UPS office on the Gbagada Express way on Thursday
September 20th. He died early this morning at a
hospital in Lagos. Ugo just got married last Saturday September 15th, 2012.
Details as to what really happened that Thursday night are sketchy but
according to friends of the late businessman, he was at the
expressway with another friend trying to flag down a taxi around 9 at
night, when policemen pulled up and shot him twice in the chest at
close range.
They said he was not resisting arrest, he wasn't arguing with the
police, he was not asked to identify himself, he was just standing
there with a friend and got killed for no reason. Sounds crazy to me!
The IG of police has said the men that killed the newly married man
were not policemen...but they were wearing police uniform, so who were
they?
This is truly sad, and quite unfortunate! I can't even imagine what
his wife would be going through now. Hopefully, Ugo's family will get
justice for this senseless killing!

$1M FOR KANYE WEST SEX TAPE
American online journal, Radaronline.com says it has a sex tape
involving rapper, Kanye West and an unidentified lady described as a
Kim Kardashian look-a-like.
According to the website, the 20 minutes tape looked like it was shot
in a hotel room with Kanye and the lady as actors.
The lady at the begining of the video disclosed her age to be 18 and
added that although she is married, she would like to have sex with
the rapper because she and her husband no longer do, 'My husband and I
don't have sex anymore… that's why I'm here!', she reportedly said.
Kanye was also reported to have set the camera up himself.
After the camera was set, Radar alleges Kanye then procedded to have a
steamy sex romp with the lady in different positions, wearing a condom
though.
'The sex tape is being shopped right now and there's a lot of
interest, but Kanye is freaking out!" the insider revealed. He doesn't
want this tape out and will do anything to make sure it stays private.
If this were to hit the market it would be worth a fortune… there
would definitely be a lot of people wanting to see this!. In my expert
opinion Kanye's performance far outweighs Kim's!" said a sex industry
insider, according to Radar
Not long ago, Kanye tweeted about how he used Kim's sex tape as
'viagra' long before he began dating her.
Like Huffintgon Post puts it – at least Kim will know exactly how to
comfort her boyfriend when/if the tape gets to go public?
Meanwhile, sex.com says they're offering to pay $1m – or more -for the
video. 'Kanye West is an artist, one of the world's biggest stars, and
ultimately a sex symbol which is why the curiosity of the public
cannot go on. By making a Kanye West sex-tape public, Sex.com feels
that he and current girlfriend Kim Kardashian will become the first
celebrity sex-tape power couple. They will be the epitome of Western
tabloid culture. The public already craves any details released about
their relationship and this tape, filmed pre-relationship, will
provide a frank view of the relationship's inception and confirm
Kanye's rumoured obsession with the reality TV star', a statement from
the 'Pinterest for Porn' site reads.

PHOTOS : MOREE THAN TENS OF THOUSANDS PROTEST ANTI-ISLAM FILM IN KANO
Tens of thousands of people on Saturday protested on the streets of
Kano against an anti-Islam film made in the US that has stirred
outrage across the Muslim world.
The crowd of demonstrators stretched several kilometres through the
city, with protesters shouting "Death to America, death to Israel and
death to the enemies of Islam".
The rally was being organised by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, a
pro-Iranian group that adheres to the Shiite branch of Islam, which
has operated in Africa's most populous country since the late 1970s.
"We are out today to express our rage and disapproval over this
blasphemous film," said Muhammed Turi, a member of the Islamic
Movement and one of the protest leaders.
"This protest is also aimed at calling on the US government to put a
halt to further blasphemy against Islam," he added.
Demonstrators carried pictures of US President Barack Obama, as well
as American and Israeli flags as they marched towards a palace owned
the Emir of Kano, the top religious figure in the city of roughly 4.5
million people. Others were waving Iranian flags.
The low-budget film "Innocence of Muslims" has incited a wave of
bloody anti-American violence in cities across the Muslim world, with
protests occurring in more than 20 countries.
