JIMOH IBRAHIM BUYS NEWSWATCH

Nigeria billionaire, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim has bought Newswatch magazine company. The oil magnate who is well connected within and outside the ruling Peoples Democratic Party recently held a meeting with members of staff of the company and he told them that he wont tamper with their editorial contents, rather his dream is to ensure that money is pumped into the company so that the publication can run smoothly.Gistmaster gathered that under the new arrangement, Mr. Ibrahim will among other things pay off the 7 months salaries being owed staff.
 Newswatch was founded in the 80s by late Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu and others. The magazine used to parade notable Nigerians such as Chief Tony Momoh, Otunba Mike Adenuga and Chief Alex Akinyele as directors.Newswatch was used as a platform to fight the tyranny and oppressive government of the  military at that time. 
  Newswatch magazine Editor in Chief in 1986, Mr. Dele Giwa was killed in a letter bomb attack, which many considered to date as one of the most brutal  murder against any journalist in Africa
 It would be recalled that the Jimoh Ibrahim also bought National Mirror Newspaper  from the erstwhile owner, Mr. Emeka Obasi. The former Virgin Nigeria airline was also acquired by Jimoh Ibrahim,a lawyer.It is now called Nigeria Eagle.

SHUGA BAND STILL INTACT

[caption id="attachment_4858" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Akin Tofowomo and members of The Shuga Band"][/caption]

Big Sam media recently issued a statement on behalf of their client, Shuga Band stating that there was noting like fight or splitting in Shuga Band.

The statement reads "It has come to our attention that some faceless individuals have been going about media house planting false stories that the highly respected and nationally-acclaimed band in Nigeria, Shuga Band has broken up with members moving out to start a new band.
We would not have bothered to dignify this with a response but for two reasons: reputable newspapers and journalists are beginning to take this as gospel truth without confirmation from us. Two, so that lie will not become the truth and the truth taken as lie.
For clarification purposes, the esteemed clients of Shuga Band and the public should note that no notable members of the band has left in the last three years or recently as reported.
Secondly, the supposedly 'notable' member of Shuga Band said to have left to start his own band has never been a member less being 'notable'. He was just a fringe session man who gets to play with the band to keep body and soul together.

How he became a 'top member' on whose shoulder the good fortune of the band rests as reported and planted by his publicist is now a wonder. And this person in question has not played with Shuga Band in the last three years. Within, these three years, Shuga Band has performed for President of the Federal Republic, Governors, at Mike Adenuga's daughter wedding and many notable events.
We know the game being played, these people are trying to sell their brand with the name of established and highly respected band, Shuga but we would like them  note that it is totally out of character to push their brand by trying to pull Shuga Band down. Especially when they know that the CEO of Shuga Band would have gladly given his blessings and support has he has always done if such had been requested of him. It is a known fact in the industry that Shuga Band supports other bands especially those established by past members of the band. This is a dirty game of trying to pull established brand down or drag it to a media/dirty fight to give publicity to the said new band. We enjoin members of the press to do thorough investigations and make necessary enquiries and not be tool of propaganda in the hands of people with 'pull him down syndrome.'
We have detailed our lawyer to exploit every available legal means and appropriate channels to address these issues. He'll be getting in touch with the affected newspapers.
Please, don’t hesitate to contact us for any enquiries. Our lines are opened to members of the press as always.
