Lyrics/ Bio Are you presently in a bad place ? Low spirited ? Almost giving up ? Download Never Give Up by LEESAH (Lisa Yelkopba) Produced by Victor BaLa Itse http://www.bennycapricorn.com/download-never-give-up-by-leesah/ NEVER GIVE UP (Lyrics) When everything goes wrong, when you can’t even smile. When nothing works out right no matter how hard you try. When you reach your end, and find you have to go another mile…. Don’t you give up on yourself Keep believing in the Lord And everything will be alright… CHORUS Never give up, never give in Keep holding on, always believing 2× That God’s not a man, that he will lie Whatever he says, he’s gonna do it.. 2× No matter how many times you fall, You can always rise. Doesn’t matter how dark it gets, the sun will always shine. When you’re feeling so sad, just know that, Joy comes in the morning… When you feel like giving up, just hold on to your dreams.. And everything will be alright. Trust him, believe him Hold on, your dreams will come true

# Venturing back to my days at the Federal Government College in Ibillo, Edo state, nostalgia is intertwined with spine-chilling memories of what we termed the "Mystery of Madam Koi Koi." Dorm life was a conglomerate of eerie incidents that left an indelible mark on our young minds. In a hostel housing up to 70 students, both juniors and seniors, the nights were often draped in an unsettling cloak of fear and uncertainty. Strange occurrences became a norm. Noises reverberated during the night, akin to someone stealthily pacing between our beds, persisting till the early hours. Such an unsettling ambiance was exacerbated by an incident where unknown individuals infiltrated our sanctuary, perpetrating hair-cutting acts that targeted both the head and private parts of unsuspecting students. The school's response was to seek the intervention of the traditional ruler, prompting the invocation of local deities to curse the perpetrators. The absence of in-hostel toilets meant no

*** In a recent press release, Professor Pandam Yamsat, the Chairman of the Plateau State Inter-Faith Council, has raised a red flag concerning the emergence of individuals masquerading as leaders of the council. These imposters have falsely claimed authority, tarnishing the revered name and principles of the council. The statement emphasized the council's complete disassociation from a supposed World Press Conference organized by these fraudulent individuals. Professor Yamsat clarified that at no point did the council convene to address or denounce the decisions made by the Court of Appeal nullifying the election of the People's Democratic Candidates during the 2023 general elections in the state. Professor Yamsat urged the general public to disregard any statements purportedly coming from the council, as these misrepresented communications serve only the personal agendas of these individuals and do not reflect the genuine stance or actions of the Plateau State Int

PMAN's Ban on "Plateau Got Talent": An Abuse of Authority The Performing Musicians Employers’ Association of Nigeria (PMAN) was founded in 1984 by Christy Essien-Igbokwe and Sunny Okosun with a clear mission to safeguard and promote the interests of musicians in Nigeria. Recognized under the Trade Unions Act by the Nigerian government, PMAN is widely perceived as an organization that advocates for its members' welfare. However, a recent decision by PMAN to ban the staging of "Plateau Got Talent" after a lackluster second season has raised questions about the association's authority to restrict non-member show promoters. Section 5 of the Trade Union Act 2005 (Amended) emphasizes that joining a trade union is not obligatory. PMAN's constitution explicitly outlines its objectives, primarily focused on the well-being of its members. It defines PMAN as an association of musicians who engage the services of musical instrumentalists, producers,
