My US$3000 Challenge

I am in urgent need of US$3000 (three thousand dollars) within 24 hours to pay for house rent for one year.

Presently, due to critical economic crunch and delayed incomes, I don't have any money to pay for house rent and the welfare of my poor dependants of underprivileged children in Nigeria.

Delays in my incomes have been caused by lack of sales of my books on Amazon and other booksellers and delays in the acquisition of the film and TV rights to the movies and series I am marketing for producers and distributors.

I will be grateful for every amount of support I receive within 24 hours before I become homeless tomorrow.

CONTRIBUTION in USD can be sent to my bank account:

Guaranty Trust Bank Plc
365 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos State, Nigeria.
Beneficiary name- EKENYERENGOZI MICHAEL CHIMA
Account number- 0016426307
Bank identifier/SWIFT CODE- GTBINGLA
SORT Code - 058152353

CONTRIBUTION in Naira should be sent to my Guaranty Trust Bank current account 0016426297

PS:

If I receive more than the US$3000 I need urgently, the remaining money will be used for my charity for the education of underprivileged girls out of school in Nigeria which I have been supporting since 2013 by advocacy for girl education and the celebration of the annual United Nations' International Day of the Girl Child on every October 11.

Coolio Passes On To Paradise of the Universe

Coolio, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr., came up on the L.A. rap scene in the late 80s, but blew up nationally in 1995 when he released "Gangsta's Paradise" for the soundtrack of the Michelle Pfeiffer film, "Dangerous Minds."

The song reached #1 and stayed there for 3 weeks.

While 'Paradise' became his signature hit, Coolio had several others ... including 1994's "Fantastic Voyage" -- which hit #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 -- as well as "1,2,3,4 (Sumpin' New)" and "It's All the Way Live (Now)."

Coolio was 59.
