A graduate at last, Heath is dead plus, Amy back in rehab

Wassup people, wutz happening? There was some celebration in my life yesterday that I hardly had the time to sit for 5minutes not to talk of writing. I officially became a graduate of the University of Lagos yesterday. Actually, I had thought I would scribble something but, as usual with everything in Nigeria, my connectivity messed up at the very last moment and I did not have the time to get it fixed before I left to sort out some convocation issues. The ceremonies were hitch-free but very stressful, there was severe traffic hold-up around the Yaba-Akoka axis so much that parents and well wishers had to park their cars and make use of Okadas to get to the campus. It however went well and as a pal would say, “that is the end of a chapter” in our lives. The next chapter has already started and believe me, it looks a lot harder than the just concluded one. But God pass them...abi?
While i was AWOL, a lot has happened around the world.

But let me start by saying we will all miss Heath Ledger who died 22nd of January, he was a Hollywood actor. It’s really sad the way young actors are dying these days. He was rumoured to have died as result of drug overdose, very sad indeed.
According to reports, Ledger was found dead Tuesday afternoon in a Manhattan apartment. Pills were found near the body, and reports speculated he was disconsolate and had been battling a heroin addiction. Ledger was found dead Tuesday afternoon in a Manhattan apartment. Pills were found near the body, and reports speculated he was disconsolate and had been battling a heroin addiction. Ledger's publicist said the death was an accident. Police said that a rolled up bill found in Ledger's apartment was being sent to the police crime lab for testing.They noted that such bills sometimes indicate drug use but said that no illegal drugs were found in the apartment. However, a mix of both prescription and over-the-counter pills, including sleeping aids and anti-anxiety medication, were found in his bedroom and bathroom. The initial autopsy Wednesday to determine how Ledger died was inconclusive, and additional tests were required to determine the cause of death."The autopsy was inconclusive. We have to do further testing including toxicology and tissue testing. Neither cause of death or manner of death has been concluded. We expect additional results in 10 days to two weeks," New York City medical examiner spokeswoman Ellen Borakove told People Magazine.” Heath, rest in peace.


Amy is in the news again, this time; the gist is that she is back in the rehab again. “Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her family, record label management and doctors,” Universal Music group said in a statement. Winehouse who is nominated for six grammies for her acclaimed ‘Back to Back’ album, seems to be as famous as her drug problems. "Amy is the most talented and important musical artist of her generation and has made huge strides on her road to recovery," the statement said.

Let’s hope this would finally solve her problem cos she stands the risk of being a wino for life.
