Senator representing Ondo Southern Senatorial District, Dr. Jimoh Ibrahim has been invited by University of Oxford to the 2024 Oxford Major Programme Management Conference to talk on mega projects.

According to the invitation letter signed by Daniel Armanios, BT Professor and Chair of Major Programme Management, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, the billionaire business mogul and the Australian Prime minister, Julia Gilland were invited to talk on the same subject matter.

It would be recalled that Senator Ibrahim’s PhD programme in the United Kingdom University was based on abandoned mega projects.

The letter sent by the Conference Technical Chair to the senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria reads in parts: “We are tremendously humbled and honoured to invite you to speak at the 2024 Oxford Major Programme Conference that will be held on December 7, 2024 at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School.

“This conference will bring together practitioners, academics, and global leaders striving to get major programmes, large-scale initiatives, done.

“This conference will cover a wide range of sectors from infrastructure, defence, and transportation to health and non-profits, and therefore offer a unique opportunity for partnership, learning, and growth.

“The conference will provide a platform to showcase the global benefits brought by major programmes as well as to identify the leading thought leaders and practitioners in the field.

“The purpose of the conference is to recognize challenges, celebrate successes, and provoke thought in the unique surroundings of the University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world.

“Lastly and why we thought of you, the conference will play host to important conversations about the development of major programmes in different regions, including sub-Saharan Africa.

“We would especially welcome you to speak about your experiences in Nigeria including the establishment of the University of Fortune – itself a major programme.”

Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.

Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.

In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.

The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.

“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.

“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”

In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.

He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.

“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.

Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.

In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.

The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.

They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.

Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.

Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.

He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.
