Researcher Discovers New Date System For Event Planning
A Port Harcourt
based researcher, Chief J. Gibson Oyibo has discovered a new date system called ‘GIBJENO’ date system through arithmetic calculations based on the old date system which he said is a catalyst to enhance the effective use of date and time in events planning and delivery.
The Asari Toru-born social researcher who spoke with The Tide Entertainment recently, noted that the new date system gives the planner the idea for effective calculation of date and the time to plan social events such as weddings, birthdays, burials, holiday, naming ceremonies among others.
The law student of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) Port Harcourt, Rivers State, stated that with the old date system, people take date and time for granted, but with this new system, they will realize that time waits for no one.
He said that the divine inspiration for the new date system came during the answering of questions for Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA). He noted that this positive idea should not only be encouraged, but practiced as efforts are being made to give the new date system national and international recognitions through seminars to enlighten and sensitize the masses on the benefits of the new date system. He appealed for financial support from government and private sectors.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
