You might not need another chart to tell you that Drake and Rihanna owned the last 12 months, but just in case, Pandora essentially announced as much with its Top Thumb Hundred list for 2016 -- listing the service's "most thumbed-up" tracks of the year -- revealed on Wednesday morning (Nov. 30). Drake appears on a staggering 14 of the list's 100 entries, while Rihanna appears on five -- with two of the list's top three coming from her ANTI album. Given the two superstars' ubiquity on the Pandora rankings, you can probably guess the No. 1 song: "Work," the pair's Billboard Hot 100-conquering collaboration from January. Other artists faring well among the Thumb Hundred include Justin Bieber (four songs, led by "Love Yourself" at No. 4), Future (eight songs, including Drake collab "Jumpman" at No. 10) and Beyoncé (three songs in the top 40, and a key namecheck on Lil Durk and Dej Loaf's "My Beyonce," No. 96).

Fayose "We are still studying the situation . We have to play the game left, right and centre and whoever we are going to use and the platform, you will all be part of the process because party politics is about the people". Fayose also said the victory of Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in the Saturday's governorship poll in Ondo State does not in any way threaten the popularity and general acceptability of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Ekiti. The governor, who described Akeredolu's victory at the poll as a contrivance of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in cahoot with APC, added that the victory the did not confer legitimacy on the poll or lent credence to the fact that Ondo electorate had voted rightly. "You all saw how people sold their votes in Ondo state, I am confident that that will not happen in Ekiti. I am close to the people you are the source of my strength . Even if it requires ju...

Ngozi Akobi opened scoring with a well take shot from inside the box in the early part of the game, while Faith Ikidi doubled the scores just before the break.

Democracy on trial in Ondo State, INEC has merged with APC At the early hours of today, information came in that the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE), Prof Kayode Soremekun, who was the INEC Returning Officer in the recently concluded Edo State governorship election that is still a subject of litigation, will also serve as the Returning Officer for the Ondo State election. The questions that came to my mind were; is Prof Kayode Soremekun the only Vice Chancellor in Nigeria? Is FUOYE the only federal university in Nigeria? Is Ekiti the only State where INEC can find Returning Officers? Definitely, INEC is up to a sinister game on the Ondo State election and it is obvious that the electoral commission is working with the All Progressives Congress (APC). This belief was further made manifest by the response of Prof Soremekun to a SMS and a call, saying that he was only being used as decoy by INEC. This was further corroborated by the INEC Resident Electoral C...

Acclaimed Africa's biggest blogger, Linda Ikeji, has turned down the sum of two million dollars ($2m) partnership investment into her recently launched social networking site, Linda Ikeji Social (LIS). According to a reliable source inside the Linda Ikeji Media brand, Linda, 36, turned down the deal after owning up to her team that she is oblivious of the value of $2million in her new business since it is a new brand.

Victor Moses remembers with difficulties his infancy and the tragic death of his parents. The now Chelsea player, wanted by Barcelona, indicated that his escape to England "was a long journey, really tough. What I wanted was to arrive, to work hard and to become a professional footballer." He adds that "now I can thank God for everything that has happened. My dream has become a reality and if I continue in the same way I think I can achieve my dream one day of playing for Barcelona." They were quotes recorded a few years ago which now take on more significance.Moses says that "when I was a kid I didn't have shoes, but that didn't stop us playing football." The winger, who Barça see as a right-back, who sought asylum in England has since returned to Nigeria to represent his country. "When I was there, everyone was supporting Chelsea," he explained. "It was good to meet fans dressed in Chelsea shirts with my name on the back....

Seun Egbegbe, who is an ex of Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu has addressed the news that took over the internet yesterday, alleging, he stole some iPhones from Computer village in Ikeja. Read his statement below: "My attention has been drawn to an online publication of the aforementioned. The story is pretty laughable and better left in the court of public opinion. Ordinarily, 1 do not want to join issues with the writer of the publication but I have a responsibility to set the records straight for my fans, friends and foes , in the defence of the truth. To say the least, the news did not only grossly misinform unsuspecting public; it also portrays traces of campaign of calumny by some mercenary hirelings hell bent in destroying my name, for reasons best known to them. Having read with keen interest the completely self-serving spirited attempt to destroy my person, it has become imperative and timely that a rejoinder is written to state the fact clearly. I want to state here c...

The Lagos State Government on Wednesday terminated the monthly environmental sanitation exercise which hitherto held for three hours on the last Saturday of every month. The State Government, in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, said the decision to cancel the monthly exercise followed a resolution arrived at Wednesday's Executive Council meeting which approved the need for a robust review of the environmental laws and procedures in the state in order to meet the present day challenges and to promote a clean and healthy environment. The Government noted that considering the present economic situation in the country, it was no longer appropriate to restrict movement of people for three hours in a mega city like Lagos at a time they should be pursuing commercial and entrepreneurial activities. According to government, in the last two decades, Lagos has grown exponentially into a mega city with the attendant huge environmental problems...

Abuja – The Ali Modu Sheriff-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Ondo State, Jimoh Ibrahim has reacted to the Court of Appeal judgment ordering his removal from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) list for Saturday's gubernatorial election. Mr. Ibrahim in a statement released shortly after the judgement said he is certain of getting justice at the Supreme Court saying the incumbent governor, Olusegun Mimiko paid for the judgment with the state treasury. He said. "I have read the decision of the Court of Appeal delivered today. We have nothing to lose as the Supreme Court seat on the same case tomorrow. We shall get justice at the Supreme Court and if PDP wins Saturday election we shall have our four years mandate to rule Ondo State. "Let me advise you not to abuse anyone or fight over this one day ruling, which was paid for from the state treasury. Mimiko will not succeed himself with Jegede this is too sure. "We continue ...

NEC should postpone Ondo election in the spirit of fairness -Fayose Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) to postpone the Ondo State gubernatorial election slated for Saturday 26th November, 2016 in the spirit of fairness. The governor said this at the Ekiti State Government House while reacting to Justice Salauwa's Wednesday ruling which ordered INEC to return Eyitayo Jegede's name as the PDP candidate for the Ondo election. "My opinion, in the spirit of fairness because this fault is from INEC, there were two judgments, the only one INEC was part of was that of Jegede, in a similar situation like the Edo election, there was no basis for INEC's action, for me, it was INEC's deliberate action to undermine this party and the people of Nigeria. So, if INEC will be fair, if Nigerians want the leader that the people of Ondo State wants, they should create this level playing ground and allow a postpo...

FORMER Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has hailed the Appeal Court ruling on the Ondo Peoples Democratic Party flag bearer for Saturday's election.

ABUJA – The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has declared Mr. Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, as the rightful candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the Ondo governorship election billed for Saturday. In an unanimous judgment, the Justice Ibrahim Saulawa led three-man Special Panel of the appellate court, vacated the June 29 judgement of Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which directed the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to recognise Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim as PDP gubernatorial candidate for the poll. Jegede had approached the appellate court to challenge the high court verdict which ordered INEC to only relate with the Ali Modu-Sheriff faction of the PDP. Justice Abang had on October 14, also re-affirmed his decision, even as he warned the electoral body against accepting any candidate nominated by the Senator Ahmed Markafi-led National Caretaker Committee of the PDP. Acting on the strength of the order, INEC, promptly removed Jegede's name from...

I've heard plenty of stories about women who don't want to have sex, but what if it's your husband who has little interest? Mine has no physical problems, no extramarital affairs that I know of – he's just never in the mood. How should I deal with this? Nkechi, by e-mail. Dear Nkechi, Sexual mismatch is one of the most common conflict in couples. It's pretty rare that both partners want the same amount of sex at the same time. As you pointed out, people assume it's usually the wife saying "not tonight" and the husband getting hurt and angry, but many couples suffer from his loss of libido and her pain at being turned down. Men, like women, can lose interest when they're stressed, depressed, or having trouble with a partner. Ask whether something is bothering him and be open to the answer. Tell him how much his sexual attention matters to you. Then suggest something out of the ordinary – a position, activity, or place you're never tried before...

Research published last week in Science suggested that the makeup of the Earth's lower mantle, which makes up the largest part of the Earth by volume, is significantly different than previously thought. The work, performed at the Advanced Photon Source at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, will have a significant impact on our understanding of the lower mantle, scientists said. Understanding the composition of the mantle is essential to seismology, the study of earthquakes and movement below the Earth's surface, and should shed light on unexplained seismic phenomena observed there. Though humans haven't yet managed to drill further than seven and a half miles into the Earth, we've built a comprehensive picture of what's beneath our feet through calculations and limited observation. We all live atop the crust, the thin outer layer; just beneath is the mantle, outer core and finally inner core. The lower portion of the mantle is the lar...

As the December 7 presidential election in Ghana draws near, Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has counselled the people of Ghana to be mindful of making the same mistake made by Nigerians in the 2015 presidential election by voting for change, which has brought hunger, sufferings and economic recession to the country, such that even the entire West African sub-region is being affected. He said "by buying into the All Progressives Congress (APC) message of change, Nigerians are now facing a kind of hunger and suffering never experienced in the country in the last 30 years and Ghanaians must not fall into that kind of trap." Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday that Governor Ayodele Fayose made this call while playing host to some men of God from Ghana on Saturday. The governor said; "Ghanaians should not succumb to the deceit of the opposition party that are call...

THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ondo State has said that the intervention of the Supreme Court in the party's governorship ticket dispute would hasten the process of Mr. Eyitayo Jegede reclaiming the ticket from Mr.Jimoh Ibrahim. Publicity Secretary of the party, Banji Okunomo, said the intervention of the apex court would hasten the administration of justice. "The PDP believes strongly in the ability of the judiciary to give the matter involving Mr. Eyitayo Jegede, PDP, INEC, Biyi Poroye and eight others, appropriate legal interpretation and adjudication. The PDP is already aware of the totality of tactics deployed by self-imposed candidate – Mr Jimoh Ibrahim to stall justice and frustrate the efforts of the Court of Appeal to hear and decide the appeals before it,'' he said. Okunomo continued: "It has become glaring that the intention of Jimoh is to frustrate Jegede in order to provide a soft landing for the All Progressives Congress, APC in the electio...

Singer and songwriter Harrison Tare Okiri has dumped record label Five Star music. The 35-year-old Reggae Blues star says he is setting up his own music label, Alter Plate HarrySong disclosed this during an interview with Planetradio TV. He said he was not appreciated at Five Star music, staing that his contract with the label had expired a long time ago. He said, "What bothers me is not the work, it's the appreciation….. You're helping someone that knows nothing and the person is feeling like he is helping you. You write a song for someone and the person is telling you, 'it's when I sing your song, you blow'. It's childishness."

There is about to be another artist/label drama/fight in the Nigerian entertainment industry. And this time, it's between Raggae Blues singer Harrysong and his Five Star Music label. This evening, Harrysong shared the poster on the left on his IG page, he didn't say what it was about but when LIB went digging, we found out it was his own music label. Thing is, Harrysong still has a 2-year contract with Five Star Music and we hear Five Star Music will be coming for him… We don't have all the details but according to someone in the know, Harrysong was unhappy with his contract and wanted out. Without informing Five Star, he started his own label. A source close to the music label said he believes that the music label will take it up with Harrysong as they paid a lot of money to break his contract with his former music label, Kevin Luciano's Question Mark Records before they could even sign him and they have spent a lot of money on him and he still has contractual agreem...

The fact that Kogi State thrives in controversies and rumours of negative reports about its leaders came to the fore once again with speculations trailing the recent unannounced trip of Governor Yahaya Bello, outside the country. With the trip shrouded in mystery, the rumour mill, which for some time has been inactive, came alive with speculations that the governor had died in a German hospital. He was said to have collapsed in Abuja and rushed abroad with some of his cabinet members including his personal physician. The rumour, mostly peddled by scaremongers, did not come as a surprise judging from the fact that a similar one was also peddled during a foreign trip embarked upon by his predecessor, Idris Wada, towards the last year of his tenure. For a state noted for elevating strange events to a level of public consciousness, the rumour refused to die even after attempts were made to clarify the situation from the governor's media team. In the previous case of Wada, his deputy,...

A former Governor of Abia, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, on Wednesday, defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), with prayer that God would use him to add value to the party. Kalu was received at the APC National Headquarters, Abuja, by the party's National Chairman, Chief John Odige-Oyegun and members of the National Working Committee (NWC). He said that his defection to the APC was made possible by the persistence of some of the party's chieftains who had been wooing him for some times. According to him, I was invited to dinner over 20 times by some of the party`s chieftains, including the national chairman, while the wooing lasted. "They had been on by neck, asking that I must come over to APC and the national chairman always buys me red wine. "My red wine is still packed in his house and I visit his place regularly to chat because we attend the same church''. Kalu, however, said that it was a privilege to be accepted into the party, addi...

The former Chelsea player gave the nod to the Black Stars at the expense of in-form Super Eagles while praising his former teammate Former Ghana international Michael Essien has chosen his country as the better side ahead of Nigeria, regardless of their present form. The former Chelsea midfielder who severally lined up for the Black Stars against the Super Eagles in his playing days made the choice despite Gernot Rohr's side head-turning performances. While Avram Grant's men failed to stamp their authority in the 2018 World Cup qualifying series, the 58-time international capped player revealed his choice in an interview with BBC. The 33-year-old also named his former Chelsea teammate John Obi Mikel as a contender for the outfit's top prize.

Peter Dedevbo's men came from a goal down to earn their first win at the Fifa U20 Women's World Cup Nigeria defeated Canada 3-1 at the ongoing 2016 Fifa U20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea. Goals from Chinaza Uchendu, Joy Bokiri and Chinwendu Ihezuo were all the Africans needed to nick past the Canucks despite going down in the opening minutes of the game. The Falconets were shocked by a 6-0 loss to Japan in their opening Group B fixture last Sunday, but they bounced back at Bava Park on this occasion. Gabrielle Carl made the breakthrough for Canada 15 minutes into the first half before Uchendu's penalty in the closing stages of the first half when Bianca St Georges was penalised for handling the ball inside the area. Bokiri put the Falconets ahead immediately after the restart of the second half before Ihezuo sealed the win after capitalising on a mistake by goalkeeper Foster to slot into an empty goal. Nigeria face leaders Spain in their last Group...

KADUNA – Governor Nasir El-Rufai yesterday charged at Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President, saying he was "haunted by his corruption demons." and that he is already running for 2019, and he thinks that he can make people like him collateral damage in his attempt to rejuvenate his image. In a Statement personally signed by El-Rufai and made available to newsmen in Kaduna yesterday El-Rufai said Atiku was a liar. His Statement: "This statement is issued in response to the latest falsehoods to emerge from Alhaji Atiku Abubukar. He has a record of spewing outright lies and innuendo against my person. As we struggle to build a law-abiding society and secure progressive outcomes for our people, we cannot allow the triumph on these shores of those who will have us move to a post-factual world. Not even from a man as practiced as Alhaji Atiku is in the dark arts of damaging other people through a campaign of lies from him and his media machine. ...
