Timaya, Empress Njamah at war again?
Once, Bayelsa State-born music artiste, Timaya and actress Empress Njamah were talk of the town on account of the love they presumably had for each other. Then, Timaya and Empress were so smitten, it was as if they could do no wrong.
*Timaya
But how wrong we were or is it, they were? Because before the love could find a place to nest time soon put it to shame as the couple not only went their separate ways, they also went for each other’s jugular.
Empress and Timaya showed us in graphic details how soon love could become hate. How one’s honey in one’s tea could be a vinegar in one’s vine. Then, they started tearing each other to pieces. The sweet words they shared became venom, with which one wanted to poison the other.

Obviously crushed, Timaya was the first to show his distaste in public, saying he regretted dating the actress. But the beautiful actress would not have any of that as she fired back that her mother would have been the saddest woman in the world if she had married Timaya.
That was then and the lovers have since buried the hatchet and moved on with their separate lives. Timaya has found a woman he made his wife and he seemed happy enough when he told me recently he married the woman of his dream. Empress on the other hand might not have found the man she is looking for but she seems happy enough, working on her acting career and running her House of Empress business venture.
However, when I ran into Timaya a couple of months ago, I sounded the singer out and found there may still be a residue of feelings for the ebony beauty actress. Okay, I was mischivious and got talking with him about himself and Empress and what it was like, the fiery moment and whether a part of him still missed a part of her.
Tell you something he told me? “I’m not missing anything about Empress. She’s my past and I have a beautiful family now. What is there to miss about her?”
I’m more concerned with charity works now-Empress Njamah
I have always loved Empress Njamah. She’s beautiful, sexy and smart. But what I love most about her is her simple, down-to-earth nature, which takes in the steam of life and find a way to make it cool for herself and everyone around her.

When I took the Timaya’s statement by her she simply replied that she isn’t interested in getting in a fight with anyone over little things. “I am beyond all these small talks. I’m more concerned with charity walks now. My interest in life is putting smiles on the faces of the deprived, the sad ones and those who need a helping hand”, she returned in a Blackberry chat.
Truly, as controversial as the actress is or the media has made her look, Empress seems to have found a quiet place in her life and living life on a different plane from the old shambolic one. All we hear about her these days is visiting one Motherless Babies Home or visiting a Hospice.
“I run a charity foundation for the less privileged and women on wheel-chairs. And I have been doing this, using my personal funds, with no support from anyone for ten years now. Most Homes in Lagos know me and miss me. Since I moved to Abuja I have been building same here. I have over 1,300 kids on my watch with 150 of those on wheel-chairs” she told me.
She said it is something God has called her to do. “My mum said she is not surprised because she saw the traits when I was growing up” she said, adding that that was all she wanted to talk about, not Timaya and ‘little talks’ as she put it

Your experience in the entertainment industry so far?
It has been quite an adventure ,because everything I have done in the industry are things I never thought I could do. And it’s quite interesting and the adventure is real. I have been working hard, doing what I know how to do best. It’s not about you getting to a particular destination but it’s along the way, so I feel satisfied with everything I have done so far

How do you cope, working with different artistes?Every field you want to get into actually has its challenges. It has issues only you can deal with. So I won t say there are issues, nothing is ever an issue. Winning a beauty pageant was not easy as well, so being in the entertainment industry has challenges and I will say it is not easy but it has been good
You have been silent for quite some time now, what actually happened?
It wasn’t too long, and nothing actually happened, I just decided to take a break. It’s not everytime you have to release songs, you have to take time out in between. If you continue doing songs all the time, before you know it, you will crash and it is happening to a lot of people right now without them even knowing it. So I had to take some time away to study people, the environment, and the music industry to know those that love and hate me. So that’s what I did. I took a step back and it wasn’t too long and I also used the time to work on my tracks and work on myself as well. So that is why I decided to keep quiet.

So now that you are back, what are you up to?
Yeah, I have been doing music; I am working on bringing out my new album, and I am shooting a lot of videos of my new track.

There is a new single by you going viral on air, can you tell us about it?
The new single I just released is titled “No tomorro:, it’s crazy and it has been banging on air and I love it. It’s for people to have fun and basically it’s just a dance song which is about going to the club and dancing like there is no tomorrow.

There has been controversies about artistes management and as one of the artistes who has been in the music industry for a while, what can you say about artistes management?
Your management has a lot of roles to play in recreating your career. If you are signed with a body that is not quite good for the image you are trying to portray, and they really don’t know who you are and how they can train you to fit in with the image they are creating of you, there may be problem. Another thing is, never make a decision when you are desperate because that is a mistake most of us make.

Because we want to make music so much, we want to be out there, we want to be known, and we want to be like 2face, Psquare and D’banj, you now go and sign fifteen years deal, ten years or five years, without really knowing if the management has what it takes to promote you or not. If you sign with a wrong management, you may end up ruining your career.
Before you got to where you are right now, what were the challenges?
It has been good, I thank God. But I have experienced a lot before music brought me to where I am now. I know what it takes to promote and all the same, I thank God and my fans, they have been supportive, if not for them I wouldn’t have been where I am today. I also love my team, they have been hard-working and we have been making it and I love working with people that are hungry because I am hungry as well.

Looking at the entertainment industry, we have a lot of upcoming artistes who are making it big, and we also have a lot of superstars. Now, do you see yourself as being in competition with any of these artistes?
I know there are a lot of people out there who want to be in my place, as if we are in a competition of sort. I tell you, if you want to live this life to the fullest, you really don’t have to look left and right because when you do so, you will miss your way. I don’t look left and right, I look forward .

Why did you decide to go into rap ?
Rap is something I have always wanted to do but I kept asking myself how I could make it work. So, I have to work on myself and I was able to do it well. And its been fun and amazing .

Who are hard to work with in the industry?
To me everybody is cool to work with. It’s just that women are tough to work with. I don’t know why we are like that, working with the men is easier because they know what they want but with the females, it is different. It only works well when you are friends.

If an upcoming artiste who is not popular, at all, wants to feature you in his or her song, will you accept it?
I don’t have any problem being featured on anybody’s track at all. That is, if I see that you have a good track and you want a good job done, I will do it.

Why is your record called No Koncience ?
Because if you want to make it in life, you need no conscience and if you have conscience you won’t do anything. But I don’t mean you have to be bad, I mean you have to be able to live your life. If you are too afraid to grab life, it will be hard for you and you will be nowhere to be found. So if you know what is good for you, live life to the fullest because no one knows tomorrow

Civil Defence member in custody for stabbing teacher to death
A member of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Assistant-Inspector Lasisi Kabir Iyanda, has been arrested and detained in Police custody over the brutal murder, on 27 June, 2014, of a 32-year-old Kamaldeen Muritala, an Islamic Religious Knowledge teacher attached to Titilope Islamic Comprehensive High School, Ejigbo, Osun State.
Preliminary enquiry by Police detectives from the Osun State Police Command, Osogbo reveals that the victim, Kamaldeen Muritala died at Baptist Hospital Ejigbo from complications arising from fatal stab wounds inflicted on his neck with a jack-knife by the NSCDC member during an argument close to the entrance of an examination hall where National Examination Council (NECO) examination was taking place. Continue...
Following the demise of the deceased Islamic teacher, students of the school attempted to raze down office structures belonging to the NSCDC as well as those of other government establishments in the area, but the timely intervention of the Police prevented further breakdown of law and order.
Meanwhile, the Police High Command has commended the officers and men of Osun State Police Command for their timely intervention which helped to rescue the 30-year-old suspect concerned as well as other property and whittle down what otherwise might have turned into a major catastrophe. The apex Police Authority however, enjoins citizens never to take laws into their own hands no matter the provocation, promising that justice would be served in this case.
Armed robbers attack VP Sambo wife’s car, kill 2
The attack resulted in multiple crashes.
Armed robbers attacked commuters along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway Friday, killing two and injuring several others, witnesses said.
The raid resulted in multiple crashes involving at least six cars, including one belonging to a nongovernmental organization owned the wife of Vice President Namadi Sambo.
The black vehicle belonging to Amina Sambo’s I-Care Women and Children Initiative was completely burnt and could not be salvaged by sympathizers who stopped to help put off the fire, a witness said.
John Oguche, a driver of one of the vehicles attacked by the robbers, told journalists in Kaduna that the accident occurred around 4p.m. near Doka Hospital along the inter-city road,
“They blocked the road near Doka hospital and made unsuspecting vehicles to ram into one another,” he said.
The Kaduna State Coordinator of the NGO, Abdulrahman Mikailu, who spoke to our reporter from his hospital bed at St. Gerald hospital in Kaduna on Sunday, narrated how the robbers opened fire and dispossessed travellers of their belongings.
“Two bullets shot by the bandits missed me narrowly when I tried to come out of my vehicle to put off the fire, not knowing that a robbery operation was going on,” Mr. Mikailu said. “I had to duck and fall on the ground pretending to be dead.”
“The robbers who were in military uniform thought I was dead, so they proceeded to my car and ordered my co-traveller to surrender all his money and laptops, handsets and other personal belonging of both of us.
“The fire had already raged as at the time of the attack, that is why the sympathizers could not put it off. I understand that they killed two passengers in a ‘Sharon’ commercial vehicle and robbed several vehicles.
“I am lucky to have survived with bruises and chest injury from the impact of the accident, but I lost my phones and other belongings.”
The Public Relations Officer of the Kaduna State Police Command, Aminu Lawal, said the multiple accident was caused by panicked drivers who tried to flee from the scene.
Mr. Lawal, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, however said there were no official report of casualties in the incident.
