Veteran record producer, Olumide Ogunade, popularly known as ID Cabasa, has said he worked with two banks before quitting the banking profession for music.
He said he took the decision because music has always been his passion.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Debbie Show TV, Cabasa said he studied medicine for two years before dropping out to study economics.
He said, “I did medicine for two years, then went to study economics. After my masters, I worked with two Nigerian banks and then I went into music.
“My parents wanted me to be a doctor. When I got admission to study medicine, I knew I was not going to do that. So I wrote another JAMB and was admitted into Lagos State University to study economics. I couldn’t study music then because it wasn’t seen as a career, unlike now. Initially, I was doing music just for the passion.
“Despite studying economics, I always knew I would do music. Not just music. If I tell people that music was not the first thing that I did in art, they won’t believe me. It was acting.”

realities, the cefa will be stronger than the Naira. Also, the Dollar to Naira
will rise to N1400 and this will shake the economy so badly; there are forces
that are hell bent at frustrating the Tinubu-led Federal government but they
will not be successful.
ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS
The spirit of God says the APC is
scheming to turn Nigeria to a One-Party State. If the PDP fails to wake up from
its slumber, I foresee that some of their prominent members will be moving to
the APC in droves. I foresee mass de-camping or cross carpeting of political
gladiators.
PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY
The spirit of God says the States
that the PDP won in the last governorship polls must be carefully and jealously
guarded so as not to be taken away from them or be frustrated by court cases or
the activities of enemies.
SAMUEL EKPA, NNAMDI KANU AND SUNDAY IGBOHO
The spirit of God says SAMUEL
EKPA and NNAMDI KANU will still fight. I foresee division within the ranks of
IPOB. The spirit of God says those clamouring for the release of Nnamdi Kanu
will not be appreciated in 2024. If they are not very careful, Nnamdi Kanu is
risking very long jail term. The spirit of God says Nnamdi Kanu must not be
jailed. He deserves no special favor but let there be justice.
I foresee that Nnamdi Kanu does
not need favor but let there be justice. Nnamdi Kalu does not need special
treatment from the government but the application of the rule of law as
applicable to him. The spirit of God says jailing him will cause chaos,
especially in the South East.
I foresee that if Sunday Igboho
should return to Nigeria, the government will clamp down on him. Nigeria needs
prayers as I foresee that Nnamdi Kanu can only be released through dialogue and
special consideration and understanding by the government and definitely not by
protests and fault findings.
BIAFRA
The spirit of God says the
Biafran movement will have so many issues to face. It will be divided into two.
Samuel Ekpa will face embarrassment and he also risks arrest. I foresee that
they will do everything for Nnamdi Kanu to drop his Biafra agitation. Those who
are negotiating for his release will tell him to drop his agitation which will
not be realistic and also they will penetrate the inner caucus of the IPOB
movement to impress on members the need for Nnamdi Kanu to accept government
conditions and be released. Also the sit-at-home erder, the government will
take every step to stop it. I foresee that the big men and seasoned politicians
from Igbo land will never support the creation of Biafra.
THE SENATE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA
The Senate President Godswill
Akpabio will have it rough with some Senators. I foresee that Senators will
look at Akpabio eye to eye and will not see Akpabio as a person who is in
control of the Senate Chambers’ activities. Godswill Akpabio will not be able
to say anything, including the policy of the government and everything the
government is doing, will be well accepted either good or bad. I foresee that
Akpabio will develop hatred for his critics in the Senate as they will be
sidelined. The Senate president must watch his health seriously in the months
of August, September and October, he must not over do things.
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER (NSA)
The spirit of God revealed to me
that there will be serious moves underground to effect the removal of the
National Security Adviser. I foresee that the current NSA will do more in
rendering quality services to the country and the President on security related
issues in sharp contrast to what the case used to be. The spirit of God says
the moves to remove him will not see the light of the day. There will be
serious moves to condemn most of his ways and actions in office. The spirit of
God says the NSA should create the Spiritual Intelligence Department to
coordinate Spiritual pronouncement and divine directives from God on security
in the country.
GOVERNORS FORUM
The spirit of God says we need to
pray fervently so that the Governors’ Forum will not be bereaved. Let us pray
so that the governors will not be getting confused or that the governors will
not be trading words with themselves. Let us rebuke through prayers what can
cause misunderstanding in the Forum as revealed by the spirit of God. Let us
pray that no governor will be involved in an accident, be indicted before
leaving office or lose any of their aides in terrible circumstances.
THE ASO ROCK VILLA
The spirit of God says let us
pray against problems in the Aso Presidential Villa. Let us pray against fire
outbreaks, attacks or losing anybody in the Villa. Let us rebuke acts of
disorderliness. I foresee there will be a proposal for the construction of a
new Presidential Villa. There will be leakages of classified documents in the
Aso villa as revealed by the Spirit of God. The spirit of God revealed to me
that the ASO VILLA needs spiritual cleansing because of strange happenings
hovering over and around the place.
PARTY POLITICS
I foresee some political parties
will form a coalition to fight Charles Soludo of Anambra state. The spirit of
God says the APC will thwart and truncate any coalition planned to unseat the
Party at the Centre in 2027.
I foresee that except the PDP
rebrands its structure and does all that is needful, the PDP will have issues in
future political contests. The PDP needs to re-strategize as shown to me by the
spirit of God. APC will have some cracks that will need urgent attention. I
foresee that their own time of tribulation awaits them. Leadership crisis in
APC is imminent. These are the words of the Lord. I foresee a total crisis in
APC, because Tinubu will come with some decisions that will sideline some
people. I foresee too much display of dictatorial power in APC. Some key Party
members will leave PDP and APC but they will receive shocks at the end of the
day. I foresee the government will close down some schools and some hospitals
will be shut down also.
EDO STATE ELECTION
I foresee that the election in
2024 will shock the ruling party in the State. The ruling party must put their
house in order. If they depend on this way of fighting for success, the ruling
party will lose the election to the opposition. I foresee that the APC
desperately wants to win the Edo election by putting all their acts together.
I foresee there will be a lot of
attacks and killings before, during and after the governorship polls. I foresee
that the mistake of governor Godwin Obaseki will make the PDP lose the coming
election. The spirit of God says as a way out, governor Obaseki must
re-strategize quickly before it is too late.
ONDO STATE ELECTION
I foresee that if the ruling
party in Ondo State failed to put their house in order, or pick the right
person as the governorship candidate, the APC will lose the election. This is
because all the structures they want to use in Ondo State some of the ruling
party members will not abide by them. The ruling party can only win by rigging
if the opposition is not ready to take over. I foresee that in the Ondo
election, the ruling party will win if they field the right candidate.
I foresee there will be several
faults in the INEC approach to the polls which nobody will be able to query.
Let us pray against bomb attacks on any of the INEC buildings. The spirit of
God says irrespective of the kind of politics that Tinubu wants to play in the
Ondo and Rivers States’ political crises, the end result will be that it will
turn around to cause political conflict in his party. I foresee that there will
be several cases of vote buying in Edo State and Ondo State during the coming
Governorship polls. I mean serious vote buying.
RIVERS STATE
The spirit of God says Nyesom
Wike will decamp to APC. APC in Rivers State will be frustrating the
Governor-Fubara led government. I foresee that even at the federal there will
be excesses on the part of top party officials. The spirit of God revealed to
me that President Tinubu and Nyesom Wike will have political disagreements
leading to a fight. The spirit of God says the APC will later regret bringing
Wike into the party. Wike has a mission that can never be accomplished.
I foresee that the Governor of
Rivers State will be persuaded to bring the former Speaker back. The spirit of
God revealed to me that if this should happen, governor Fubara will be on his
way out as Governor of Rivers State. His impeachment will be imminent. I
foresee that the quarrel between Fubara and Wike cannot be resolved by anybody
except God. The spirit of God revealed to me that the Fubara and Wike crises in
Rivers State will result in something else that will shake Rivers State
violently. I foresee that the peace initiatives in Rivers State will not stand
the test of time. They are going to disagree later with some of the resolutions
arrived at and as arranged at the Aso Rock Villa under President Tinubu.
I foresee that the Rivers State
House of Assembly will still be divided even as the State itself will be
polarized along ethnic lines. The spirit of God says there is still tension
ahead no matter the present intervention of the President. I foresee that there
will only be peace if the needful things are done.
Naira Marley confirms reports of Zinoleesky welcoming first child
Controversial rapper and CEO of Marlian Music, Naira Marley
has confirmed that his signee, singer Zinoleesky, 23, has welcomed his first
child.
There have been reports of the ‘Feeling Disorder’ crooner
welcoming a baby girl with his partner.
Naira Marley has now confirmed the reports.
He shared a photo of Zinoleesky carrying his baby via
Instagram story.
He also revealed the name of the baby.
Sharing the photo, Naira Marley wrote: “Baba Zendaya.”
Zinoleesky is, however, yet to announce the birth of his
child personally.
Skit maker docked for lying against Gov Otti, Aba-Ngwa people
A man, simply identified as MC Sweet, who made a fake online
post claiming that Aba Ngwa indigenes tried to stop Julius Berger from
constructing the Port-Harcourt Road in Aba, has been arraigned at a Magistrate
Court in Aba, Abia State.
In the fake post, the online skit maker also claimed that
Governor Alex Otti invited some elders and youths of Aba Ngwa to Umuahia for a
peace meeting where he (Governor Otti) allegedly ordered that the indigenes be
locked up.
The false and controversial post which created a sensation
across the State last week, was swiftly denied by the Abia State government
through Mr Dodoh Okafor, the Special Assistant on Special Communication to the
Governor.
Also, the Aba Ngwa Peoples Forum, led by Chimezie Nwagba
(President) and Chinedu Ahuruonye (Secretary) issued a communique disowning the
report and also calling for the exposure of those behind the fake post.
They further said that they would never sabotage the Port
Harcourt road contract or any other project in the State.
But the person behind the post was later nabbed by the
Police and arraigned at Aba Magisterial District for trying to defame the
characters of Aba Ngwa Peoples Forum members.
The charge sheet read by the Prosecutor, Mary N. Udorji said
MC made the defamatory post within Aba Magisterial District, pointing out that
the offence he committed was punishable under Section 375 of Criminal Code, Cap
80, Vol. 111 of Laws of Abia State Nigeria, 2005.
The charge accused MC Sweet of trying to injure the
reputation of Aba Ngwa people, ridiculing and exposing them to hatred.
The accused who apologized to the Aba Ngwa Peoples Forum for
the injurious social media post, begged that he be given bail so that he could
do another post debunking the earlier one he made.
He was granted bail by Chief Magistrate , Erinma Enyeribe
and the matter adjourned to February 29, 2024.
But it was not confirmed if MC Sweet was able to meet up
with his bail conditions on Friday.
An elder of Ngwa land, Azubuike Osondu Ochieze, in his
reaction, said the post tried to rubish the good name of Ngwa people.
Also, a Labour Party Chieftain, Mike Evans said Governor
Alex Otti has further been vindicated and advised youths against abusing the
social media space.
INEC to conduct re-runs, by-elections Feb 2024
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has announced that it will conduct re-runs and by-elections simultaneously in nine states of the federation affected on Saturday, February 3, 2024.
It said these vacancies were declared by the presiding officers of the National Assembly—the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives—and speakers of state houses of assembly.
INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, said in a statement issued on Friday that the commission has approved the timetable and schedule of activities for conducting by-elections resulting from the resignation or demise of members of the National Assembly and state houses of assembly.
Olumekun noted that the vacancies occurred across two senatorial districts, four federal constituencies, and three state constituencies, spanning nine states of the federation.
He added: “Furthermore, the Commission is conducting re-run elections stemming from the 2023 general election as directed by various election petition appeal tribunals.
“Currently, 35 constituencies are affected by these court-ordered elections. While three cover entire constituencies, others involve only a few polling units. Both categories of elections are scheduled to take place simultaneously in all affected constituencies on Saturday, February 3, 2024.”
According to Olumekun, the timetable for the elections, along with detailed delimitation data—registration areas, polling unit names, the number of registered voters, and PVCs collected—have been uploaded on the commission’s website and social media platforms as a guide to political parties and candidates and for public information.
The electoral body, therefore, urged political parties and candidates to strictly adhere to the specified timelines for the seamless conduct of these elections.

Naira scarcity hits Osun as bank ATMs fail to dispense cash
Over the weekend, customers of some commercial banks in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, expressed dissatisfaction with the poor services provided by Automated Teller Machines (ATMs).
Findings by newsmen indicate that many ATMs of commercial banks were not dispensing cash, causing inconvenience for customers.
Several banks visited were observed to be empty from Saturday through Sunday, with their ATMs devoid of customers.
Some customers who shared their experiences with newsmen also recalled that the situation was no different from what occurred in the first quarter of 2023.
Dele Ajayi lamented having an emergency issue to deal with, which he could not easily solve because no ATM machine dispensed cash.
He stated, “I had an emergency on Saturday, so I rushed to the nearest bank to use their ATM. To my surprise, none of the ATMs was dispensing.
“I am aware that the banks have capped daily withdrawal again, but my problem is, why are the ATMs not dispensing? I find it hard to understand why I have to carry about an ATM card and yet I can’t use it when I want to.”
The issue was replicated in several banks visited, located at Gbongan-Ibadan road, Oke-Fia, Station Road, and Igbona axis of Osogbo, the state capital.
Another customer, David Olayinka, said he had no other option than to resort to Point Of Sale (POS) agents.
“I was charged N150 for each N5000 I collected from the POS agent. I could not collect more than N5000 from a POS agent.
“I needed N50000, so I had to collect that sum from ten different POS agents because they too could not give me more than that amount. I also had to cough out N1500 as POS charges.
“It was not funny, and I don’t know if this is the way we will start the new year.”
POS agents have also decried the capping of withdrawals by commercial banks. Some agents revealed that these banks have slashed daily withdrawals and sought out alternative sources of cash from petrol attendants, commercial motorcyclists, and traders.
“Most of the banks have slashed their daily withdrawals. Some only allow N20,000, while some go as low as N5,000. This is the yuletide period, and it is now that business is supposed to boom, but imagine what we are experiencing.
“The banks said they don’t have cash, and that the Central Bank of Nigeria is mopping up cash. What for?” Adedayo Azeez, a POS agent queried.

I won’t benefit from FG’s reinstatement of Intels’ contract — Atiku
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, said he is not a beneficiary of the Federal Government’s reinstatement of Integrated Logistic Services Nigeria Limited boat pilotage monitoring business.
Nigerian Ports Authority, in a letter by Port Manager Charles Okaga dated November 30 addressed to all shipping companies, announced the reinstatement of Intels as the Authority’s service boat operation monitoring provider in the pilotage districts.
The letter read in part, “This is to kindly inform you that sequel to the Presidential Directives dated 18th August 2023 and the consent Judgment of the Federal High Court, Lagos dated 21st of September 2023, the Authority has extended the Service Boat Operation Contract between it and Intels Nigeria Limited.
“Further to the above and to support the Authority’s and Federal Government’s drive to increase revenue generation from the Service Boat Operations, Messrs. Intels Nigeria Limited has been directed to resume services immediately. This is in line with the terms of the extended contract contained in the Managing Agency Agreement conveying the scope of Services, in addition to the obligations of the Agent.”
A few Nigerians alleged that President Bola Tinubu had reinstated the Former Vice President’s business in Intel.
Atiku, who debunked this in a statement via his official Facebook page on Sunday, explained that he sold his shares in Intel in January 2021 to Orlean Investment Group, the parent company of Intels.
The former vice president added, “The phased sale of those shares that commenced in 2018 peaked in December 2020. Intels also made public my exit from the oil and gas logistics company, meaning that a different entity now owns those shares I sold.
He revealed, “My divestment from the company that I co-founded has not been reversed. Consequently, I cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be a beneficiary of the reinstatement of the boat pilotage monitoring business that was taken away from Intels by the Federal Government.
Atiku described the insinuation that his a beneficiary of the decision to rescind the cancellation of the contract between Intels and the Federal Government as untrue and mischievous.
