Why Joe Odumakin is not happy She is a human right activist who has fought tooth and nail to ensure justice prevails for the average Nigerian. She has been part of several movements within the country, fighting for the right of citizens and to make sure injustice is permanently stamped out. At the moment, the agile activist is not happy. In an interview with Life & Times, Joe noted that the unrest going on within the country has not only been barbaric but also causing sleepless nights for many, especially those who live up North. “I’m very very unhappy seeing our people killing each other, seeing our people being burnt to death and seeing people hoarding fuel when we’re the sixth largest oil producer in the world. We have to sort out this issue of our refineries. Our refineries must work and we won’t allow anyone remove the oil subsidy without putting the necessary structures in place. The masses cannot continue to suffer for the greed of a few people. We must find out what

Former video vixen turned fashion entrepreneur, Lolar Shon, turns 31 Make-up artiste and CEO of Lolar Shon fashion stores, Lola Shon, is one prominent showbiz personality who has served in virtually all the sectors of the Nigerian entertainment industry. She was part and parcel of the Desmond Tourism Development (DTD) show, a talent hunt show handled by Desmond Majekodunmi. In fact, most top artistes in Nigeria today got their first break on the stage of DTD. Not too many people know that Lola was also one of the most sought after video vixens in the music industry before she took up the job of managing the defunct Lachache bar which later metamorphosed into Rumours night club. She later quit to face and grow her fashion business which is doing remarkably well. A few days ago, she wrote on her facebook wall “How time flies. Can’t believe I will be 31 soon! Ageless beauty!

Prince Buruju Kashamu’s albatross While other Senators-elect are busy celebrating their victories with their families and friends, Prince Kashamu has been battling with sleepless nights over the international related drug case trailing him.

So bad has their hatred for each other sunk that the crown Prince of Ijebu got a court order to prevent the former President from launching his latest book, My Watch, knowing that, some excerpts of the book will be about him. They avoid each other like a plague at public functions, with one leaving the venue of any public function before the arrival of the other or one not going anywhere near the venue of a function, knowing that the other would be there. It is no longer news that Buruju was part of the reasons the former president fell out with President Goodluck Jonathan and his purported exit from PDP prior to the elections.
