History has it that “Money can’t buy life” were the last words late music legend, Robert Nesta “Bob” Marley uttered to his son, Ziggy as the 36 year-old Jamaican passed away on May 11, 1981 at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami, USA surrounded by members of his family including his weeping mother, Cedelar Booker after his long battle with cancer and brain tumor.Today mark 37 years after his death and it’s safe to say that his legend, music and impactful message still lives on!At the time of his death, the world was shook with the news but comforted by the illustrious legacy the iconic figure left where he used his music as a tool to fight societal ills as well making it an avenue to unite the human race.The late Bob Marley had a humble beginning. He was born in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica on February 6, 1945. His father was Norman Marley, a British Naval Captain posted to the West Indies during the Second World War.Late Marley had little Western education as he dropped out of school at 14 to become an apprentice welder. He soon quit welding to team up with Peter Tosh whom he had met recently and both released a single, Simmer Down which enjoyed a considerable airplay on the local radio.In 1964, Marley and Tosh formed the Wailing Wailers together with Bunny Livingstone Wailer, Junior Braithwaite, Beverly Kelso, Rita Anderson (who later became Rita Marley in 1966), Judy Mowatt, and Marcia Griffith (the 1-Three). The group was popular in Jamaica as it performed in many shows.In 1972, the Wailers was signed on by Chris Blackwell’s Island Records and the following year, 1973 came out with their debut album, Catch A Fire an album that launched the Wailers into superstardom.The group toured Britain, but as successful as the tour was, it turned out to be the turning point for the group. Back in Jamaica, the group split with Peter Tosh and Bonny Walter opting out after alleging Bob Marley’s domineering role while on tour.Bob Marley married Alpharita Constantia “Rita” Anderson in Kingston, Jamaica, on 10 February 1966. Marley had many children: three with his wife Rita, two adopted from Rita’s previous relationships, and several others with different women. The Bob Marley official website acknowledges eleven children.With 42 official releases, plus countless photos and videos of him captured both on and off the stage, the story of Bob Marley is one of the most chronicled in all of music historyThirty Six years after, Bob Marley’s work still lives on, he would constantly be remembered as the apostle of reggae music, a thorn in the flesh of the oppressors and the wailing voice of the oppressed.He was the cultural ambassador of the Carribean Island and his indelible mark in the world and influence on music even on generations yet unborn cannot and will never be rivaled.Below is a video of Bob Marley performing on of his most Iconic songs ‘No Woman No Cry’.Continue to Rest In Peace Bob.

Every first day in the month of May represents an otherwise escape route for workers to take a deserved rest from the hectic schedule of work they have to deal with all year round. It is interesting to celebrate this day because it usually falls on weekdays when an average worker is supposed to be deep with work. As we join millions of people across the country to celebrate this special day, we look at some of the most pressing demands of workers in Nigeria. 1. Payment of Arrears As we know it, so many states in the country still owe their civil servants for several months, forgetting they have family and needs to cater for. In this case, May Day may not be tagged as a celebration for these ones, especially as they head into the holidays empty handed. We implore the relevant authorities to use this day as a great opportunity to pay up arrears and stabilize salary payments for these ones. When salaries are paid as at when due, workers are encouraged to put in their best at work which will in turn affect positively the growth of the organization. This is a clarion call. 2. Good healthcare It is a pitiable sight these days when we see workers go through untold hardship just to get access to good Medicare. As matter of fact, their health is put on the line whenever they’re working. Working conditions these days are not friendly as every individual is expected to give 200% of his time and energy before it is said that you’ve done well. These sometimes affect workers with fragile health and could also trigger certain life threatening ailments in workers due to excess stress. Companies and ministries must ensure they key into the contemporary initiative of HMO (Health Management Organization) and ensure that their workers are well registered to this plan so as to guarantee proper Medicare for themselves and their families. 3. Enabling working environment It is no News that one of the hazards that is plaguing work environments these days is bad working environment; These includes so many and not limited to provision of basic working tools to ease workflow, good working conditions among others. With all these put in place, a worker is excited to work well with less stress and creativity is enhanced as such. Creative input in work enhances results and every organization craves for positive result in the scheme of things; a conscious effort to put this in place will be positive for the growth of the said company. 4. Job Security This is one aspect every worker needs as guarantee. Considering the situation in the country, people need to be reassured that their Jobs are intact so that they can fend for their needs. In Nigeria today, people lose their jobs on a daily basis and head home without a clear picture of what happens next. As we celebrate this year’s workers day, Nigerian workers need to be reassured that their jobs are safe and they won’t be victim to the mass retrenchment plaguing the nation at the moment. 5. Food and steady transportation Food is the basic necessity of life after water. At least the energy that the body requires to function properly is gotten from the intake of good food. Apparently, one of the most expensive commodities to purchase in today’s Nigeria is food. The cost of food items is astronomical and just a few people can afford good food. May Day should serve as a great opportunity for companies to ensure that their workers don’t lack access to good food. They can design frameworks that would give these workers access to good food items at affordable prices so that their energy is sustained for proper work. Transportation is also very necessary. Staff buses can work the magic and ease workers commute to work without too much hassle and transport fare. This will also encourage good work flow. As workers across the country take this timeout to relax and celebrate efforts, we must not forget to rest properly and relax our nerves. We must not get carried away with work and the excessive thirst for more money at the expense of our health. We must maximize the day and have good time with our family, friends and acquaintances. Happy workers day!

Of course,” she screamed, “Hell to the yeah! James Bond is one of those franchises where it’s never not cool“You could literally make the naffest James Bond in the world and it would still be cool.”But fans won’t be seeing Emilia as 007 anytime soon as the next film., No Time To Die, starring Craig is set for an April 2020 release.There have also been rumours that British actress Lashana Lynch could be set to put her spy boots on to take over from CraigLashana would not only be the first-ever female to take on the role but also the first-ever black person to star as James Bond.However, 007 are torn on whether the next Bond should be a woman, with it causing a divide in the fanbase.Ab Fab’s Joanna Lumley recently spoke out, declaring it should not be given to a woman.She told Metro: “[Author Ian Fleming] took very special pains to describe James Bond, who was a man, and this was written in the early 50s, who was a British man of a certain height and build and a rather cruel face, a lean build.“It seems odd to me that you’d make that a woman.”She added: “By all means write another character who works for MI6, write a new one, but don’t tag on to this lazy business of pretending it’s James Bond.“Make a different one. It would have to be 008 or somebody else and make it a woman if you have to.“Remember James Bond is a character written by a real writer. You wouldn’t make Mr Pickwick into a 23-year-old girl.”

But while at Barcelona, Eto’o won three La Liga titles and two Champions League trophies and also helped his country to win Olympic gold at the 2000 Games in Australia, the Africa Cup of Nations in 2000 and 2002.“I don’t need to lay claim to anything, it’s just a fact. Whether you accept it or not, it’s a fact,” Eto who retired in September told AFP.“When I look at where I came from and how far I got, I tell myself that I am entitled to be proud. That doesn’t mean I am big-headed, far from it. It is just that, in this world, people like puppets and I don’t accept being one.”
