I am still the best - Obrafour declares

Obrafor

It has been more than three years since he released a song and the hiplife scene is being ruled by a new crop of artistes but Obrafour believes he is still a force to reckon with.

The Rap Sofo who wants to be known now as Obrafoforo, said his absence from the music scene is not because he had become a spent force but he had to keep a low profile due to ill health.

In an interview with Showbiz last week, Obrafoforo said “yes I have been missing for some time but I am still the best. I haven’t been very well but thank God I am fine now. I haven’t done any new songs but just listen to the choruses I have done for musicians like Sarkodie, Lousika among others and that should tell anyone that I am still good at what I do. Infact, I am still the best.”

Obrafoforo, known for hit songs like Pae Mu Ka, Asem Sebe, Tofa, Ntetee Pa and Heavy said he is currently in the studio and almost done with 25 tracks for his up- coming album due out by the end of the year. The album which will be his seventh features Lousika, Sarkodie and Edem.

Keshi wary of Ethiopia despite victory

Stephen Keshi

Nigerian coach Stephen Keshi said the Super Eagles are not overconfident after a 2-1 win in Ethiopia Sunday set up a probable fifth World Cup appearance, AFP reports.

An Emmanuel Emenike brace won the first leg of a playoff, leaving the Eagles needing just a draw at home next month to secure a place at the 2014 finals in Brazil.

“We still have to go play Ethiopia at home as if we never played them, and we’ll take it from there,”  he told reporters after the match in Addis Ababa.

Keshi commended the Walya Antelopes, who fought hard to keep up with the the Eagles in the first half only to tire down the final stretch.

“Ethiopia were awesome today – they played good,” he said amid lively celebrations from Nigerian supporters dancing and waving flags.

“We (went) with our game plan, we just wanted to see how Ethiopia play at home,”

Ethiopia came out strong in the first half with several goal attempts, including a shot deemed not to have crossed the line by the Cameroonian referee.

IRS Plane Crash-Lands in Kaduna

An IRS Airline plane narrowly escaped a crash yesterday when its landing system developed hydraulic failure as it began its descent into Kaduna airport.

The Plane crash-landed some minutes after 11am leaving about 100 passengers and crew members unhurt.

The plane which left Lagos at about 9: 45am was carrying passengers who are mostly businessmen and their families coming to Kaduna for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

Passengers said the faulty landing system forced the pilot to hover in the air for close to 40 minutes while he struggled to fix the problem.

The plane reportedly arrived in Kaduna around 9.45am, but could not land until minutes after 11am.

When the Kaduna airport was alerted, fire fighters were immediately deployed to prepare grounds for emergency landing. The runway was quickly covered with flame retardant form to prevent fire outbreak.
The pilot finally bumped the plane at the beginning of the tarmark but passengers were not allowed to disembark immediately until about 10 minutes after, and as they left the plane, they were instructed to run into nearby bush, fearing that there could be fire outbreak.
