13 Celebrities Who Have Been Unmasked Besides Daft Punk

Image
This is Daft Punk without their helmets on giving a rare interview back in 1995. Someone in their promotion and marketing team must have bitch slapped them for messing with their masked mystique because that hasn’t happened since. However, cell phones being what they were some attention-seeking wannabe  tweeted a picture of them not wearing their masks during a Sony party . It was taken down, but it’s the internet so the damage was done. The pic didn’t affect their careers though. They won album and record of the year at The 2014 Grammys and had one of the most entertaining performances during the show. Daft Punk aren’t the only ones owing a major part of their success to masks. They aren’t the only ones to be caught without them either.

Crisis looms in OAU over NUGA

Image
A crisis is in the offing at the Obafemi Awolowo Unversity, Ile-Ife, Osun State. At the centre of the looming crisis is  the planned Nigeria Universities Games. The event scheduled to hold at the institution between February 12 and 22 has witnessed two postponements due to inadequate facilities, improper logistics and the five-month strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, among other factors . Our correspondent, however, gathered on Monday that  the bone of contention is the provision of accommodation for the participants in the competition. The OAU management, it was gathered, has reportedly directed students to vacate their hostels on or before February 7 to enable the NUGA participants to use the facility. But the directive appears not to have gone down well with the students who have condemned the decision. Some of the students, who spoke to our correspondent, said the directive would disrupt the peace of the university. A student, who simply gave his

See Why US Bullies Nigeria, But Avoids China and Saudi Arabia

Image
The Igbo have a saying – popularised by the acclaimed novelist, Chinua Achebe – that he who brings home ant-infested faggots should not complain if he is visited by lizards. That proverb is apt in describing the type of treatment Nigeria receives from the Western world, led by the United States of America. Last year, President Barack Obama made his second “ward round” to Africa. Again, he excluded Nigeria from his “patients’ list.”  The official excuse was that Nigeria’s democracy was not commendable . Also, since President Goodluck Jonathan signed the anti-gay bill into law e a rly this year, the Western world, led by the US, has not allowed us to drink water and drop the cup, as the saying goes. Presidential visits have been allegedly cancelled; threats of cancellation of aids have been issued; patronising and condescending comments have been directed at us.
