With “Sounds From The Other Side” just a few weeks away, Wizkid decided to liberate the official version of his previously leaked tune – “African Bad Gyal” featuring Chris Brown.
The impressive number was produced by Sarz.

 With Sounds From The Other Side set to drop in June, Wizkid‘s 3 year old Chris Brown collaboration makes its way to the internet. I hear a video is in the works, and the song will be officially released as Wizkid‘s follow-up single to “Come Closer“.

 Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has signed the 2017 appropriation bill into law.
Mr. Osinbajo signed the budget at about 4:40 p.m. on Monday inside his conference room in the presence of the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari; Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, Ministers and other top government officials.
The total budget figure signed is put at N 7.44 trillion.
Mr. Osinbajo said his signing of the budget was a milestone in the implementation of the economic and growth plan programme put in place by Mr. Buhari in April.
He said the processes of putting the budget in place had been smoother than that of 2016 with no allegations of errors.
“There were far few cases of acrimony unlike in the past. There is no doubt at all that our democracy is maturing very well,” he said.
The National Assembly passed the 2017 Appropriations Bill on May 10 after raising from the N7.28 trillion earlier proposed by President Muhammadu Buhari in December last year, to N7.44 trillion.
President Buhari is away in the United Kingdom for medical treatment.

It is the first time in recent years that an acting president would sign the budget into law.
Mr. Osinbajo had on May 19 received the N7.441 trillion budget passed by the National Assembly.
Initially, there were controversies over whether he or President Muhammadu Buhari, who is away in London for medical treatment, would assent to the document.
But the acting President’s spokesperson, Laolu Akande, cleared that doubt on May 18 when he said Mr. Osinbajo would sign the bill once satisfied with its content.
“Just so we are clear: when the time comes, everything is set, and he is satisfied, Ag. President Yemi Osinbajo will assent to the 2017 Budget,” Mr. Akande tweeted at the time.

The National Assembly had last passed the budget, increasing the total sum by N143 billion compared to what was sent by President Muhammadu Buhari.

JUNE 12 IN NIGERIA

June 12 Not just another day in the lifetime of our nation

June 12, 1993 is a day that will never be forgotten in Nigeria's history. 

It's been 24 years since Nigerians came out to vote for a civilian president. We had two choices, MKO Abiola the wealthy businessman on the ticket of the SDP and Bashir Tofa of the NRC.

I was a kid back then but I could sense the gravity of the elections. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida had been in power since 1985. After tricking Nigerians several times he decided to hold a democratic election.

  Abiola casting his vote

 With a two party system, MKO Abiola and Bashir Tofa emerged as the presidential candidates of the Social Democratic Party and the National Republican Convention respectively.

Bashir Tofa N

 In the South-West, MKO Abiola was the candidate. I didn't know about politics and was way too young to vote but I knew Abiola was the candidate of choice. In 1993, Lagos and most of the country was engulfed in MKO Mania. He was positioned as the generous millionaire who would revitalize Nigeria's economy. A man who would put an end to decades of on and off military rule and coups.

MKO Abiola, man of the people

We the kids of Corona Primary School Apapa knew MKO's 'On the March Again' word for word. We sang it during lunch break or any free period we had. We joined our aunties and uncles in breaking down his initials as 'money, kudi, owo'.

The D-day finally came and my parents voted for him. My teachers voted for him. Everyone I knew voted for him. I had this tingling sensation that MKO was going to win.

The results started coming in and it was clear that MKO was going to win. It was just a matter of formality until IBB aka the Evil Genius appeared on our TV screens.

IBB and MKO Abiola

"Fellow Nigerians: I address you today with a deep sense of world history and particularly of the history of our great country. In the aftermath of the recently annulled Presidential Election, I feel, as I believe you yourself feel, a profound sense of disappointment at the outcome of our last efforts at laying the foundation of a viable democratic system of government in Nigeria.

"I, therefore, wish, on behalf of myself and members of the National Defense and Security Council and indeed of my entire administration, to feel with my fellow countrymen and women for the cancellation of the election. It was a rather disappointing experience in the course of carrying through the last election of the transition to civil rule programme." 

IBB annulled what has been deemed as Nigeria's freest and fairest election. The country was thrown into confusion. Nigerians had clearly spoken but IBB decided not to listen.

Late Gen. Sani Abacha and MKO Abiola

The aftermath of June 12, 1993, led Nigeria into a crisis. There were riots and protests. I remember leaving school early on many days because there were riots in Lagos. I remember my green leaves on the windscreen of my father's car. It was a sign of solidarity. It was a sign to tell the protesters that we were down for the cause.

Two months later after much upheaval, IBB 'stepped aside' as Head of State. The events that would play out after this would throw Nigeria into darkness for the next 5 years.

IBB tarnished his legacy by denouncing the will of the people and MKO Abiola started his journey to immortality.
