Braving through hallucinations after four days of no sleep, Nigerian Dj Obi earned himself the title for having played the longest set ever. Beating the previous record by Polish Dj Norbert Selmaj who held the record for 200 hours, the Nigerian native did an astonishing 240 hours at a café in Lagos. Yet to be rectified by the Guinness World records, the recorded set met all standards required. The rules stipulate that only five minute breaks are allowed hourly, someone had to be dancing at all times and no song could be repeated after four hours of being played. The Dj did the 10 day marathon taking disco naps for five seconds as sleeping would lead to disqualification. ‘’The moment we surpassed the current world record of 200 hours; it’s been an amazing journey - 9 days in; Thank you everyone! You all have been so supportive! WE DID IT TOGETHER!!’’ Dj Obi posted a day before he broke the record.

Strong Gbana Pekin | July 15, 2016 | 7:30am  My first visit outside Philadelphia, my original city of residence in the USA, was Virginia. Meeting Debbie Caroline Watson, a young Liberian woman, gave me an adverse impression of what we have been hearing back home. A single mother of a beautiful 10 year old kid, with two elderly parents in her care, had me wondering. Many things started to run through my mind. Is she really taking care of her parents or do they have some kind of assistance from the Government? How can she manage to cater to herself, while catering to her parents and her kids? Is she even employed? If so, how is she managing her situation? How much money does she make to pay bills, while at the same time catering to all this? Debbie is just one of thousands of Liberian women in the United States who work earnestly and hard to survive and provide for their families. Contrary to news back home about most of our young women in US not being serious and mo...

Tunes Liberia authority has issued a public apology to fans and artists for the delay in publishing the weekly top five downloaded songs, saying the delay resulted from an administrative decision to expand the song selection process. In a press release, the company said after the first edition of the top five downloaded songs was published in the Daily Observer newspaper, they received lot of emails questioning the selection process. The release explained that the content of each email received forced the Tunes Liberia authority to abruptly stop the process “until clarity is made public.” “On the selection process, we monitor the website on a daily basis to keep track of all the songs’ daily downloads for the week beginning on Monday and ending on Sunday . “To get the monitoring statistics correct in order to avoid cheating, we also use our Zippyshare download statistics to do the final tracking, and it always corresponded with ours. “Zippyshare, a file-sharing website, which we u...

Jeffereson Kru.  Credit: Heidi Shin Jeffereson Krua, CEO of Bush Chicken, has returned to Liberia as a Liberian citizen.  The entrepreneur who lived in the United States since 1990, recently renounced his United States citizenship and moved back to his native land Liberia, where he launched a digital news outlet called  Bush Chicken, which trains journalists to report with accuracy. He’s also working on a start-up to bring a bike share program to Monrovia, where it can take hours for kids to get to school.  During an interview with PRI's The World, he told the reporter, “All my dreams, everything, all my goals in life they’re focused on Liberia.  I have these nightmares where, I wake up and I’d just be sweating, and it’s basically Liberia got into another war again.  And that’s a fear for me, because I don’t know what I would do.”  Wow, what a bold and inspiring step.  We wish him success.
