Drama, as Majek Fashek storms COSON awards night
A MILD drama ensued at the Oriental hotel, Lekki, Lagos, venue of the just concluded Song Award organised by the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) last Saturday night when Nigeria’s reggae legend and guitarist, Majek Fashek stormed the place to thrill his fans once again after years of being missing on stage.
Clad in rugged jersey and jacket with a brown cap, Majek who has been incapacitated for a long time now arrived the venue some minutes to the end of the event and hell was let loose. Shouts of ‘the Rainmaker’ rented the air as he moved from one end of the expansive hall to another, greeting and hugging some of his contemporaries whom he has not seen for years. Interestingly, Majek’s song, “Send Down the Rain” won the best song of the 1980s at the event.
Even though, his sight evoked sympathy, some of the guests who were familiar with Majek’s ordeal could not believe their eyes as the Rainmaker was virtually in high spirit. Still looking shabby and frail, Majek bubbled with life while the event lasted.

Upon spotting highlife maestro, Victor Uwaifo who was one of the dignitaries that graced the awards night, Majek immediately prostrated before him and later, requested to perform on stage. But the audience would not allow him to do so as they wanted him to close the event.
After Iyanya’s ‘erotic performance’, Majek mounted the stage and took the audience in a musical voyage. He reeled out some of his evergreen songs to the delight of the audience. When he sang ‘ Send Down the Rain’, everyone in the hall took to the floor as they sang along with him. His performance that night reaffirmed his place as a reggae legend.
Despite missing the stage for a long time, Majek who waltzed his way into the hearts of music fans in the late 80s and early 90s with his debut album “Prisoner of Conscience” containing the hit track ‘Send Down The Rain’ released in 1987, still retains his stagecraft, vocal dexterity and followership. Standing ovation however greeted his ‘unexpected’ performance even as he hinted that his latest album is due to be released soon.
Meanwhile, the event was organised to honour musicians, songwriters and composers who had written and sung great songs from 1960s till date. Victor Uwaifo’s “Joromi,” was chosen as the best song of the 1960s while Prince Nico Mbarga’s “Sweet Mother” won the 1970s category.
While Femi Kuti’s “Wonder Wonder” emerged the best song of the 1990s, for the new millennium (2000), Kehinde Akinbode’s “Olorioko” was awarded the best contemporary Afro song. The contemporary pop song was awarded to Tu Face Idibia with “African Queen.”
Sunny Nneji won contemporary highlife category with “Oruka.” Idibia won contemporary afro with “Iheneme,” while Psquare were honoured for their hit song “Chop My Money” and the best song for contemporary highlife of the new era was awarded to Jude Okoye for “Baby Oku.”The award ceremony was part of activities marking the COSON week.

[PHOTO & VIDEO] Video of Ghanaian Akwasi Asare, aka ‘Festival’ who makes money by uploading sexX videos of female partners on the internet..
The video recording, which was making the rounds in the Ashanti Regional capital, had caused consternation among parents and showed the girl and her partner dressing up after the session.A Senior High School student in Kumasi has been captured on a video recording receiving an amount of GH¢20 after a bout of sex with a 22-year-old man at a hideout in the Garden City.
The one-hour-thirty-minutes sexual encounter had Kwame Asare aka ‘Festival,’ believed to be an SHS leaver, engaged in sexual intercourse with the school girl.
Action
On the tape, Asare and the young girl, believed to be in her teens, got undressed soon after entering a room, and started what seemed to be an enjoyable sexual expedition.
Asare, whose manhood was unusually long, was seen bonking the girl at different postures until the young girl started telling him she was tired and could not continue any longer.
In Police Grips
Festival, now in police grips, was suspected to be part of a five-man gang that lured young girls into a rented room at Kokoso near Kumasi where they bonked these girls and record the sexual activity on video tape for commercial purposes on the internet.
The Police arrested Asare at the Kumasi suburb of Adum based on an investigation undertaken by William Kwame Anokye of New Mercury FM, a local radio station.
Anokye said he tracked Festival and his group of five, made up of boys below 23, for close to three months before getting hold of some of their recorded sexual bouts on tape.
He then reported their activities to the police, with the subsequent arrest of Festival, now in Prison custody in Kumasi.
Anokye told DAILY GUIDE that Festival and his group sold 30 minutes of every recorded sexual bout to their partners abroad for US $10,000. Their partners would then post the film on their website for the public to watch across the world.
Haggle over cash
He said the group had been in the illicit business for some time now until a misunderstanding over how money generated from a previous sale should be shared among them.
One of the members who thought he had been cheated in the sharing of the money eventually reported his group’s illegal activities to Anokye.
The New Mercury FM reporter eventually got hold of a recorded sexual act involving Asare and the SHS girl.
He said he visited the Assemblies of God SHS where he showed the recorded sexual act to the headmaster of the school who admitted that indeed, the girl on the tape was a final year student of the school.
Game Plan
The girl’s parents were then informed about the incident by the school’s authorities and a plan was hatched to apprehend those behind it.
Anokye said the girl on the tape was made to call Asare on phone pretending she wanted to meet him again. Asare then told the girl where he was and the Police quickly moved in to arrest him.
Website
The suspect, with his accomplices now at large, according to reports, usually sold the recorded sexual bout to a website abroad for thousands of US Dollars, unknown to the young girls.
The suspect seemed to have a connection with the Bekwai sex scandal which made the headlines two years ago.
Wife Catches Husband Red-Handed Sleeping With Their Housegirl
A wife who has been hearing stories around that her husband was enjoying himself with their house maid got the shock of her life recently as she caught them red handed after setting a trap for the two secret lovers.
The source who sent the story to TON said the wife pretend that she was going to her shop and sent the the maid in her husband’s presence to go to the market and buy foodstuff. The maid took the money and immediately her husband got up and walked out, saying he’s taking a walk…
The woman drove out of the compound with the maid and dropped her at the junction where she would take a bike to the market. She sighted her husband hiding at a corner but pretended she didn’t see him. She drove away, parked her car about 200 meters away and walked back to the house.

She entered their sitting room, nothing. Her husband’s bedroom, nothing. Their kids room, nothing. It then dawned on her that her shameless husband might be doing the “thing” at the house maid’s room. True to her suspicion, the wife caught her husband “very busy” on top the maid.
Funny enough, sources say the wife has discovered that the young girl is already pregnant for her husband and the man is now saying he will marry her as his second wife. The wife is devastated!
The incident was said to have happened in a Lagos suburb but the woman’s husband is a rich guy.
Zimbabwean Big Brother Africa Rep, Pokello,Sex Tape Leaks (SEE PHOTOS)
According to Peacefmonline.com investigations, the said sex tape was acted and recorded by Pokello and her boyfriend Desmond Chideme also known as Stunner who is popular urban grooves artiste.
Stunner is famous for his role in a leaked sex tape in which he had sex with his socialite girlfriend Pokello Nare. In the video, he is seen having sex without protection with the girl that he is not married to. The ‘Godo’ hit maker also went public as he got circumcised in a bid to promote education on HIV/AIDS and how to prevent the Aids scourge.
Apparently the sex tape was reportedly shot at his Avondale home with his girlfriend Pokello Nare. Desmond Chideme is his actual name and he’s a “Zimbabwean urban groover” – probably why we can’t find the tape because it would be hosted on a foreign site and written in another language – if popularity arises then we will seek further for the tape.
Harare-born Pokello has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media and Communications and owns a luxury shoe boutique. She enjoys pasta, spaghetti bolognaise and prawn cocktail.
She describes herself as “dynamic, captivating, intelligent, beautiful & hilarious” and says that the best thing about her is that she’s head-strong and a woman of real substance. “When I speak, I speak with depth and confidence,” she says. She admires people who are selfless and filled with humility and modesty, disliking disloyalty and betrayal.
Asked what viewers can expect from her, she says: “I am beautiful, intelligent, controlling and entertaining. I am funny and witty and I say the most humorous things.
Pokello says if she wins the USD 300 000, she’ll buy a big house for her son and herself, send him to a full-time soccer academy in London and invest in her business.
