"The most disappointing one for me is D'banj because he passed through my hands, he was trained under my tutelage. That is offensive. I don't care if you're with Kanye West, you can't forget your root. I won't call anybody else's name but I will call his because it hurts. His own hurts very deep. And he never tried to reach out to me. It's not like we parted on fighting terms. He told me he had to go to London and he went. And when he came back it was Don Jazzy, and I said OK, that's fine. And what he did worked and I'm very proud of him, the love, that's why it hurts more. He should have come out to say no, I don't know why you people are saying all this, I didn't give OJB N7million, maybe a part of him felt embarrassed because at the end of the day, really, are you not supposed to do something?" OJB says during the interviewHe also talked about how people used his fund raiser as competition and once again addresses the bounced cheques. Continue....

Members of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, (MASSOB) on Friday clashed with the Police in Onitsha, leaving one of their members dead, while eleven others sustained various degrees of injuries.
Police, MASSOB Clash in Onitsha Leaves One Person Dead, Several Injured
An eye witness told our correspondent that trouble started when a police team on surveillance flagged down a motorist along the ever busy Onitsha/Owerri road and started maltreating him, probably for allegedly refusing to give them money an action, which drew the attention of MASSOB members that were controlling the traffic in the area since the yuletide, as they confronted the security men.
However, the intervention of the MASS0B members in the matter angered the police men, resulting to a heated argument which later led to assault between the MASSOB members and the police.
while the argument was raging, one of the policemen, according to the source, pulled out his rifle and shot at a MASSOB member who died instantly, just as the police men disappeared from the scene immediately for fear of uncertainty.
Watching one of their members lying in the pool of his blood, the MASSOB members in anger barricaded the -busy Onitsha / Owerri road for over two hours, just as they made bonfire with fairly used tyres, a situation that compelled traffic flow to divert to the Obosi by-pass.
However, the corpse of the late MASS0B member was said to have been taken to the Awada Police Station.
When contacted, the Onitsha Police Area commander, Mr. Benjamin Wordu, confirmed the incident but said trouble stated when MASSOB and a rival group had a bloody clash, a statement, the militia group swiftly dismissed.
Wordu, said immediately he got information about, the incident, he dispatched a team of policemen to the troubled area, adding that normalcy has since returned to the commercial city.
“It is always good to talk on what you know, not on what you do not know. The problem we have today is that a lot of people put their mouth in what does not concern them because they want people to know that they too are there; that they can be reckoned with.
“I don’t think that is the way to do things, no. I think the best thing is to always put your mouth where God puts it, if you don’t want to be disgraced.” Okojie said.
"People will always say what they want to say. I am not perturbed in any way. I don’t care. If I had married a top politician’s daughter, I am sure you will not be talking to me. My wife’s family is not rich let alone my wife. I got married to somebody I wanted to get married to and not because of her wealth. I don’t know why people say all they say."
“I wonder how anybody would say my marriage was secret. Some people went ahead to say that my brother (Kunle) was not at the wedding but he was there. Anyway, I am not ready for them. When I am ready, I will let you know,” he said.
