Don Jazzy Should Be Killed and Forgotten!

Michael Collins aka Don Jazzy

Who wants Don Jazzy dead??? 

Kill Don Jazzy - written by ex-Mo' Hits Publicist, Bayo Omisore So to start with, I am not a hater. I do not wish any evil on Don Jazzy or Michael Collins. If anything, I can be categorized as an interested onlooker when I want to be passive or an invested businessman active in the Nigerian music industry for the past 18 years. In addition, I am a writer. I have been told I am a very decent writer. Or maybe I’m living on past glory. Either way, I had another title I was working with. But I decided this one would attract the eyeballs I desperately need to get the attention I so desperately crave. Finally, I understand the workings of PR. Hell, I handled the PR of Mo’ Hits in 2006 when the only talent was D’banj. Back then, Wande was a dancer, Dr. Sid (I plead the Fifth) and D’Prince was a model. I do not wish death on Michael Collins. I however think the Don Jazzy brand is dead. Or should be rested. I’ll tell you why... Bayo Omisore Do you remember Don Jazzy? Remember that Soundcity advert. I remember the first day I met D’banj and Don Jazzy. This must have been either late 2004 or

SLG / Supervisors Appointees: Council Chairmen Ignore Ambode's List, Swear in Their Candidates

Council Chairmen in Alimosho Local Government have ignored Governor Ambode's list and proceeded to swear in their own list of SLGs and Supervisors on Monday 6th November, 2017 in a ceremony most of them held in their offices, privately with only the party leaders in attendance in most cases.

Alimosho Standard reliably gathered that what was done in nearly all the Councils was that a list was presented to the legislative arm by the Chairmen for screening. This list contained the names of those on the list of the governor and those of the leaders. While in some LCDAs, the people on the list were screened successfully, in others, those on the governor's list were screened out and the list of leaders, sworn in. All these happened on Monday, 6th November, 2017 at every Local Council in Alimosho.

Someone Kills Her Child, Drops The Corpse in A Drainage in Alaguntan, Alimosho

See what a Facebook user (Alaguntan Youths) posted yesterday.

We woke up this morning to see the disheartening and inhumane sight of a baby corpse dumped into a gutter (filled with dirty water and debris) just beside Diamond Bank (Iyana-Ipaja Mini Branch, at Alaguntan) on Iperu Akesan Street.

For us, we’ve concerned issues begging for prompt answers.

1. Why on earth would a mother (caring and God fearing) dumped the corpse of his/her dead child in such inhumane state.

2. What’s the response rate of emergency (health, security and environment) in Lagos State even when the state government has provided ‘Toll Free Lines’ for such?

3. Does corporate businesses holistically perform their CSR to the host communities? A case study of Diamond Bank Iyana-Ipaja Mini Branch, at Alaguntan bus stop and Alaguntan Community
