Mr. Piano Man

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love

Do you have a request book handy I could flip through?
I do, he said "My name is Rodney, good to meet you"
"What do you wanna hear tonight?" He asked me
I said "Something I can feel inside", Ohh
"I got what you need, I know exactly
Why don't we give this a try?"

Play me a song about heartache, I promise I could sing every word (Mr. Piano Man)
Play me a song about love lost, 'cause that's another one everyone's heard
Strike up the band
We can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight
Come on, we can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love (Mr. Piano Man), man
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love

Oh, he played a song filled with sadness, I believed him
Each note was drippin' with madness, I could see it
We were lost in the music, everyone knew it
The truth was in the air tonight
I could see all the faces, they started to say it
"Won't you please"

Play me a song about heartache, I promise I can sing every word (Mr. Piano Man), every word
Play me a song about love lost (love lost), 'cause that's another one everyone's heard
Strike up the band
We can have the whole world singing tonight (we can have the whole world singing tonight)
We can have the whole world singing tonight
Come on, we can have the whole world singing tonight
We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano Man)

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love

He was going for hours, people cryin' showers
No one ever really tells how it is
I sang about the hopeless 'cause everyone knows it, knows it
And it was so honest
Finally breathin' some clean air, been through it and seen it
I've witnessed all the pain, oh
And as spotlight was fading, he just kept on playing, oh woah

Play me a song about heartache, I promise I can sing every word (Mr. Piano Man), I promise
Play me a song about love lost (song), 'cause that's another one everyone's heard
Strike up the band
We can have the whole world singing tonight (whole world singing tonight)
We can have the whole world singing tonight (whole world singing tonight)
We can have the whole world singing tonight (yeh, yeh)
We can have the whole world singing tonight (Mr. Piano Man), oh

Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man), oh
Play a song for love (Mr. Piano Man), ooh
Play a song for us (Mr. Piano Man)
Play a song for love

Pier Morgan tweets on missing girls, calls on US/Europe to assist

There are actually people who doubt that these girls were actually kidnapped despite the fact that Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping. Are you one of those who doubt? If so, why? Continue to see more tweets...

In a recent interview, Sports broadcaster, Aisha Falode said a young man named Faisal Al-Nasser and a young woman named Olivia (both pictured left) were the last two people to see her son, Tyler Falode, alive, before his body was found meters away from his apartment complex in Dubai. The 2 claimed Tyler had been sitting too close to an edge at the rooftop of the building and had accidentally fallen. But later, Faisal was overhead saying repeatedly 'I don't mind going to jail for 25 years'.

Aisha Falode, who went to Dubai to find out what happened to her son, found out that Faisal had suspected her son of having something to do with Olivia (Olivia and Tyler pictured right) and had confronted her son. Olivia and Faisal visited Tyler at his home on February 18th...and a few hours later, he was dead. Thrown from the rooftop a 17-storey building. Aisha believes Faisal is responsible for her son's death and the Dubai police is covering him up because he's from a rich home.

Earlier today, Faisal took to his Facebook page to say he's being accused wrongly..and Olivia reacted to his comment.

Charly Boy says he plans to hold a concert in memory of his late father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, who passed on yesterday Maay 4th. He said the concert, which will be put together to celebrate the life of his father, would feature artists like D'banj and Terry G.

Speaking with sympathizers at his residence in Abuja, Charly Boy said no one should weep for his late father "They should join in celebrating a life well lived.” also went down memory lane on his relationship with his father

"My father was a good and great man, though we did not start off well because in the beginning he always felt I was too rascal. I did not obey orders and I got tired of his rules, regulations and restrictions so it was important that I go my own way. I thank God I did that because at long last since the past 25 years. I won the kind of respect I deserved from the man who thought that the direction I took was a wrong move. For the past 25 years, we bonded and I am proud to have had a father like him" he said.

Police deny arresting or detaining Chibok woman protester

The Nigerian police in a statement released on their website a few hours ago said the Chibok woman protester, Mrs Naomi Nyarda, who was reportedly arrested by the police was neither arrested nor detained. The police claim she was only invited for an interactive fact-finding session after which she was allowed to go home. Read their statement below...

58 year old Alabama pastor, Tyrone Banks (pictured above) has been arrested for allegedly raping the 13year old daughter of one of his family friends.

According to police report, Tyrone, who had gained the trust of the girl, drove her to a Hueytown church last month, and once there, the man used a key to get into the building and raped the girl in the kitchen. He then drove the girl home, where she immediately told her mother what had happened.

Tyrone was arrested on Friday and has been charged of rape by forcible compulsion and first-degree sodomy.

'I will sell them' - Boko Haram claims responsibility for kidnapping Chibok girls

"I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah. There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell. I will sell women. I sell women." alleged Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video (he spoke in Hausa) that was released today.

There were reports about a week ago that some of the girls have been sold or married off for N2,000 each. With this new declaration from Boko Haram, it means the report is close to the truth. If they haven't been sold already, then they will soon...unless the Commander-In-Chief of the Armes Forces does something and does it fast. If you want to watch the Boko Haram video, go here

Dear LIB readers: My girl is in an abusive relationship. What should I do?

From a male LIB reader

I am a 25 year old university drop out. Since I dropped out of school 2 years ago I've been without a job until I found one a year ago working in a fast food restaurant that also have a VIP bar which is my department. Eight months ago the fast-food hired a new supervisor. A smart and intelligent lady. After she settled into the company she started to come closer trying to get my attention and all. Being that am broke and really saving up to go finish my studies I paid no attention to her, focusing on my job and family. But then I fell ill and this lady showed me so much care that I fell helplessly in love with her. Four months ago we got some thing going, that was when I realized that she was going through a messy break up. But her ex won't let her be. Always harassing her. That was when I went to her friends and they told me that since they started dating, the guy always beat her up and that they've warned her to leave but any time she does he comes to beg with his sister.

I apologize if I'm wrong but that looks like acrylic nails to me...maybe it was a concept for the photo shoot? Anyway, these are pics from a recent photo-shoot D'banj did for ThisDay Style shot by famed photographer, Reze Bonna. Continue to see more photos...

Former minister Mrs Oby Ezekwesili shared the news on Twitter. Continue to see more tweets...

It's easy for us all to move from this because this dude is not related to us or even someone we know personally...but if we as youths of this country keep quiet, this will continue to happen, and next time it could be you or me, or someone close to us.

The ex student of the University of Lagos and former President of the National Association of Delta State students, UNILAG chapter, was picked on Monday April 28th in Lagos by officials of the Delta State government after he blew the lid on a systematic student bursary racketing allegedly happening in the state.

Award winning author Chimamanda Adichie writes on the kind of President she wants. Read below..

Some of my relatives lived for decades in the North, in Kano and Bornu. They spoke fluent Hausa. (One relative taught me, at the age of eight, to count in Hausa.) They made planned visits to Anambra only a few times a year, at Christmas and to attend weddings and funerals. But sometimes, in the wake of violence, they made unplanned visits. I remember the word ‘Maitatsine’ – to my young ears, it had a striking lyricism – and I remember the influx of relatives who had packed a few bags and fled the killings. What struck me about those hasty returns to the East was that my relatives always went back to the North. Until two years ago when my uncle packed up his life of thirty years in Maiduguri and moved to Awka. He was not going back. This time, he felt, was different.

Punch interviews two of the girls who jumped out of the truck they were being transported in by Boko Haram men after the men stormed their school and kidnapped over 250 girls. Interview below

What is your name?

Sawok: My name is Amina Sawok.

Walse: My name is Thabita Walse.

Can you describe the attack on your school?

Sawok: We were in the hostel. One of the men dressed in military camouflage asked us where our dining hall was. From our hostels, they took us to the dining hall and from there, we were moved into the waiting vehicles and they headed towards Damboa town. The incident happened around 11pm.

Walse: It is a long story. They came to our school and deceived us into believing they were soldiers. They were dressed in military uniform and made us believe they were about rescuing us only for us to later find out that they were insurgents. When we discovered, it was already too late and there was little we could do. Continue...

"Nigerian's don't want to accept the ugly fact that there are some key individuals, who some of them still literally worship and rever, that are the ones actually encouraging, fueling and funding Boko Haram and that are waging war against our people" Femi Fani Kayode writes in a new article titled 'The Haramites of Boko'. Quite an interesting read. Find it below...

"My worst fears have been confirmed and sadly the Haramites of Boko have struck again. Another terrible bomb blast has taken place in Abuja and many innocent people have been butchered, slaughtered and maimed. At the last count the number of those killed is no less than 39 despite attempts by the international and local media to play the number of casualties down. This damning display of primordial and pure savagery by Boko Haram comes barely two weeks after over 100 innocent people, including women and children, were killed by another bomb, on the same spot and by the same people. This is surely too much for us to bear.
