AFRICA WORLD CUP PALAVER....smile or tears

 

  The Brazil World Cup ended on the 13th of July 2014, there has been lots of economic issues during the world cup. Even the host nation protested against the world cup base on the economic standard of the country. About 60percent of the countries that participated in world cup are facing crisis in their country. But will limit myself to Ghana and Nigeria.
  Workers on strike, demonstrating, protesting, boko-haram and so on. The economy of the country is deteriorating drastically, but the money these countries spent during the world cup could have at least solve 1/4th of the crisis eating them up.  In Ghana there have been several issues of government workers going on strike, POTAG is even on strike but $3million was sent to the black star players in Brazil, that amount of money could help solve at least POTAG's strike....

Giant Nigerian snails seized and destroyed at Los Angeles Airport

 

Officials of the Los Angeles International Airport have seized and destroyed a consignment of 67 African snails sent from Nigeria to a resident in the US, saying the snails are poisonous and highly destructive. The snail consignment arrived in the States from Nigeria on July 1st in a blue basket pictured above.

The snails according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture are prohibited because they can carry parasites that are harmful to humans, including one that can lead to meningitis. They also say it can destroy local crops. Continue...






Maveeda Mirza, the U.S Customs and Border Protection  program manager say they are investigating why an individual would want to consume such an amount of deadly snails.

"We're investigating what happened, but it doesn't seem like there was smuggling involved. When someone doesn't know a commodity is prohibited under USDA regulations there is usually no punishment," she said.

HKN Is Not Only About Davido— B-Red Cries Out

                   Nigerian pop singer, Bayo Adeleke, better known as B-Red, has denied claims that artistes under HKN Records are only working for the success of Davido.
                       According to B-Red, the label is happy that Davido is making waves and stated further that all members of gang, as the label is fondly called, get credits because they all work as a team.

“We are a team. Davido is very big in Africa today. We all get the credit together as one family. I mean, I was practically very popular already in the industry before I dropped one single. We are HKN and we are happy to produce the biggest artiste in Africa right now.

“I have dropped three singles and have been climbing the ladder of fame on a steady rate! ‘Iwaju’ is big in Nigeria right now; everybody attests to that. Watch out for me as well as Sina Rambo, Danagog and Deekay,” he boasted.

B-Red further explained his relationship with De’Ark Entertainment which he described as a subsidiary brand to his career.

“De’Ark Entertainment came in as a subsidiary brand to my career. We shot a video for ‘Insane Girl’ and HKN Music was duly represented in it. I really don’t know where you guys get your news from but I have always been signed to HKN Music. De Ark came in as an affiliate; just the same way P-Square is signed to Square Records as well as Konvict Music – though the deal is off now. HKN Music is what I represent solely now,” he explained to Premium Times.
