Exclusive Interview Of Linda Ikeji With Yesterday&Today
Culled from Yesterday & Today
Much
has been written in the formal and informal media about Nigerian’s most
popular blogger Linda Ikeji, this last Monday was a memorable
opportunity for a personal conversation with the famous blogger, I
took a deliberate swipe on her on personal issues. I am most happy and
comfortable, I could not be more so until I forced every word out from
her in a clandestine type of interview. it was for me the most revealing
conversation recorded, we had a long chat as my midget captured every
dots of the J and every tittle of the T leaving no stone unturned.
A lot of your fans and readers were quite disappointed by your Mark Zuckerberg article last week. It made you sound very materialistic and shallow. What happened?
Linda: I was trying to be funny but people didn't get the joke (laughs). I didn't know people would take me literally and that seriously. I clown a lot. Sometimes I write things just to get reaction or just to make people laugh. Mark Zuckerberg is someone I really respect. I've always said there are 3 people I'd like to meet before I die. President Obama, Mark Zuckerberg and Jackie Chan. In that particular order. So Mark is someone I'm in awe of and I sincerely admire his simplicity. But for a minute I asked myself; is Mark being simple or doesn't he just like to spend money? I was looking to get people's opinion on the issue. What I should have asked was; where do you cross the line from 'simple' to 'cheap'? Remember Mr Scrooge in A Christmas Carol? He had so much money but was a miser. And that was why I put up that post. But I guess I didn't put my point across very well, so I came out sounding shallow and materialistic. I was just trying to be funny and sarcastic at the same time considering how much money Mark has. There are other billionaires who have mansions, private jets and million dollar yachts, it's how they chose to spend their money. Mark obviously is not concerned about such things and its admirable.

ASUU Vows To Resist UNILAG Change Of Name
The
chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU),
University of Lagos branch, Dr Karo Ogbinaka, has said that the union
will resist the recent change of the university's name.
Dr Ogbinaka was quoted as saying;
We
are resisting it, all the unions and the students will resist it, the
Alunmus will resist it. The truth about the whole thing is that it
shows the level of intelligence of those people in government. Nobody
will change Harvard's name, nobody will change Cambridge's name to
Winston Churchill University. University of Lagos is a brand, for 50
years. The first university established by Act of Parliament and one man
trying to score cheap political point. When people go outside and you
ask them what university are you from? What name will you pronounce?
They'll ask is it a new university? Is it the name of a toothpaste?
It's a senseless thing and are going to resist it.

Why We Bought A Private Jet – P Square
Jude Okoye has stated the reason why his brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye, P Square, recently acquired a private jet : It is to travel around in style and to meet up with our busy schedules.
In a brief phone chat with R from Johannesburg, Jude said the duo had been busy shooting commercials and working hard on their next album.
“We shall be here till next month. As already tweeted, we thank our fans for being there for us.”
One of their tweets recently gave the duo out about their new acquisition. “Jetting privately….thanks to God and the fans. You all made it possible. Baba God done settle us…I no go lie. Just included on our list…that very list……shhhhhh,” Peter tweeted few hours ago.
According to information, the award winning twins recently paid an Arabian several millions of dollars to pick this private airbus.
P-Square top the list of privileged few of Nigeria’s new generation of musicians who are making money from music. With landed properties in Jos, Port Harcourt and their newly built Lagos mansion, it’s no doubt that the dynamic duo are living large.
