Popular radio program, ‘Akwa Ibom Today’ banned on AKBC

Popular political and issue based broadcast program, ‘Akwa Ibom Today’ formerly ‘Politics Today’ has been yanked off air on AKBC Radio 90.5 FM. The program, I learnt, has been blocked from airing for two consecutive weeks now because the producer, Samson Akpan allowed Aloysius Etok, the senator representing Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District in the National Assembly to go on air and say things that are perceived to have been uncomplimentary against Gov. Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State. I heard this gist the following day after the senator went on air but I didn’t believe because this is the same thing that happened to Bush House when it allowed Mr. Nsima Umoh of former ACN to go on air in the build up to the 2011 general elections. You see why I said Akwa Ibom needs more private stations? Below is what Senator Aloysius Etok said about the yanking off air of ‘Akwa Ibom Today’.

Planet FM 101.1Mhz begins test transmission in Akwa Ibom

Planet 101.1 FM, Uyo has begun test transmission. With Atlantic FM and AKBC Radio hitherto holding sway, Planet FM which is the first private radio station in Akwa Ibom State have joined the fray. They have been playing good tunes ever since they begun test transmission. I think independent producers should go to Planet FM if they want to do their jobs without interference, in order to avoid what has been happening to them in government stations. I however have an authoritative scoop on who owns the station but that is a gist for another day. Welcome on board Planet FM. Leggoo #InTimaya’sVoice.

Project Fame star, Eyo turns born again?

Eyo Okon Eminue popularly known as Eyo or Heyo or Akwa Ibom Fine Boy was voted 2^nd Runner up at the Project Fame West Africa in the same season Chidinma Ekile won the reality TV show. Of recent, he seems to be missing out in sit outs or neither seen clubbing as was the case some months ago. He now offers what he calls ‘Celebrity Free Ride’ to members of the church he worships in, Power City International. Instead of embarking on ‘Project Fame’ he is currently working on ‘Project World’ where he seeks to draw people to God. Eyo who is known to be circular/contemporary music star this morning surprised many the more when he wrote on his facebook timeline that he is set to release two new gospel singles. Here is what he wrote: #Anticipate 2 New Gospel Singles... Yes☺ I said Gospel Singles.... DOUBLE DELIGHT #Ayaya|&|#GiveMeBread. *Cooking* produced by @patanybeat #GETREADY!

Those days, Annie will sit under the tree, crying and asking me if 2face really loved her - Faze

Below is what Faze had to say about Annie Macaulay and her relationship with 2face back in the days during his recent interview:

“It’s all about choice when he decided to marry Annie. I’ve known Annie for years and I think she’s perfect for him. There were times she would sit under the tree, crying and asking me if 2face really loved her. Even when 2face was dating Annie, Black Face and I were equally dating two of Annie’s friends. But we didn’t marry those girls but 2face and Annie eventually got married. That’s life for you.”
