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.

Bad Boy Records closing?? Rumors are swirling all over the place that they could be on their last legs as Diddy seeks to shutter the record company. What will happen to the artists? How do they feel about it? Who will collect all those B.I.G. royalties? We’ll know all that once Diddy officially confirms what will happen one way or the other. We may be losing Bad Boy Records, but we get to keep the memories those artists gave us. Oh yeah, what happened to them anyway? 112 Like any other band, squabbles and infighting threatened to break them up. But they’ve since reconciled and are touring. No word on new music, but at least you can see them in some venues on tour with Johnny Gill and Dru Hill.

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 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.

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.
