Rapper Busta Rhymes Looses Passport in Nigeria

Rapper Busta Rhymes nearly cancelled the Abuja leg of his Star Megajam performance last weekend, after he discovered his international passport was missing.

The hip hop veteran was visibly upset and troubled, and threatened not to go ahead with his performance, after he searched for his American passport, and told his aides it appeared the passport was missing. His mood changed and his temper rose. No one knew what drama would follow.

It was early afternoon on Saturday December 12.
”I’m going to have somebody shot tonight”, an upset Busta screamed, before calling his people and telling them he wasnt going ahead with the show if he couldn’t find his missing passport.

”He remembered the last time he saw it was in the car that took them to the hotel, so he told everyone he suspected the driver”, a source who was present said.

Busta, Ludacris and the rest of the Star Megajam crew arrived Abuja shortly after noon, aboard a Chartered Arik Air flight, last Saturday. A Range Rover vogue took Busta and Luda to Transcorp Hilton hotel where they stayed with their crew. And it was while disembarking at the hotel, that the rapper’s passport fell from his lap, according to an eye witness.

”A member of his entourage picked it up, hoping to give it to him later”, our source told us.
”The guy came back and saw Busta going wild. Then he told him. ‘I got your passport; it fell in the car”.
Relieved, but embarrassed, Busta reportedly tried to find the driver to offer apologies, but promoter Sheila Okonji promised to apologise on his behalf.

”It wasn’t funny you know”, said one of the organisers who didn’t want her name mentioned. ”Busta losing his passport in Nigeria” A day before, at the Polo grounds in Lagos, Busta Rhymes gave a good account of himself.

Thankfully, his ‘lost-and-found’ passport drama didn’t diminish his Abuja performance. The veteran showed he’s still the master of the game, as he treated fans to hit after hit; dipping his hands into a repertoire of hits from the eighties through the nineties and 2000s. Together with his hypesman Spliff Star, the rapper worked the crowd, engaged in call-and-response, and gave the crowd-and the organisers- thumbs up.

Busta Rhymes showed the fans love. And they threw it right back at him. Even Nigerian stars Djinee, MI, Jesse Jagz, Baba Dee and Wande Coal rocked his set – fixing their gaze on his stage, looking like they were taking performance lessons from one of the world’s greatest.

Busta Rhymes left Nigeria early Sunday while Ludacris departed the country around 10PM local time.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Fast Food Comes to Lagos

The Louisville Kentucky based fast food Kentucky Fried Chicken, inventors of the original dipped in batter, southern deep fried chicken are now here in Lagos. While their choice of location at City Mall, Onikan Lagos may be less than ideal – It’s relatively central and couldn’t have possibly been at a better location.

The traditional list of menu items sold at KFC is the chicken – fried, grilled, berbecued and served in various forms, hamburger, sandwiches, sides and as the franchise operator is from India, it  is not exactly what one would get in US or UK and while the crunchy, slightly spicy batter isn’t the “original – 11 secret herbs and spices – recipe” it is still great. The Colonel’s secret flavor recipe of 11 herbs and spices that creates the famous “finger lickin’ good” chicken remains the KFC’s trade secret.

Are Facebook bosses trying to trick us?

If you've logged into Facebook in the last 24 hours you will have noticed that the social networking site has changed its privacy settings. The move, which could dramatically increase the amount of personal information people display online, has outraged digital rights groups and civil liberties campaigners. 

The changes make more information, photos and videos visible to everybody on the web unless you specifically edit the settings yourself - status updates can now also be picked up by search engines.

The pop-up message that greets members asking them to change their privacy settings appears to be different depending on how engaged that person was with Facebook. We would urge all members to log on and double-check their privacy settings now, if they haven't already done so.
Facebook said the changes, which were introduced on 9th December, help members manage updates they want to share, not to trick them into revealing more information than they are comfortable with.

So why then are status updates now automatically made public unless specified otherwise by the user?
