I Was Able To Destroy 2 Big Shrines In My Village – Saint Obi Posted: 16 Nov 2015 06:30 AM PST Veteran actor, Saint Obi in a recent interview has denied buying a G-Wagon of N48m contrary to reports few months back. The actor refuted such claims and went on to reveal what he has spent his time doing including starting a record label. Hear him; “I am not a perfect being but I am very distant from those things written or adduced to my person. An example, I never bought any G-Wagon valued at 48 million Naira [I craze?]” The real me is a very selfless person who will share my last 100 Naira with the needy; who is constantly thinking of ways to impact positively on other people and society, at large. I don’t like talking much; rather I let my works do my talking. I believe that charity, just like being a fine person must start from inward; hence if you visit my village, Umuezealaeze Alaenyi, Ogwa in Mbaitoli LGA of Imo State, I have done my little bit to help my people but more importantly inspire a new vision. Through the Grace of God Almighty, I was able to destroy 2 big shrines in my village, sunk boreholes, did road repairs, empower the young and old, etc. My actions are not limited to my village; in the cities, I am also constantly preaching against the Osu syndrome, crime, poor morals, religious and ethnic bigotry, the need to for education, amongst others… its possible to change the world and Nigeria if we only try.”

Waje To Sponsor 5 Bright Young Women To University Posted: 16 Nov 2015 05:30 AM PST Aituaje Iruobe a.k.a Waje, a United Nations/ONE and Purple ambassador has revealed plans to launch a worldwide campaign for gender equality and opportunity. Tagged AfricanWoman, Waje aims to empower and enable African women and girls to have a qualitative education through her foundation. She took to her various social media accounts to make the announcement; “The most important and often misunderstood concept in the narratives for gender equality is OPPORTUNITY. One of our key goals for this project is to create awareness about the need to guarantee the same opportunities for education and life choices for the African girl or woman. To make gender equality a reality in Africa, we must educate and empower women. I believe that the only way to do this is by being an example and a voice for our women who do not have the opportunity to speak for themselves. We must enlighten them. We must let them know that they can be the driving force of African growth. Through www.wajesafehiuse.org we will be touring the continent and kicking off a scholarship fund for 5 bright young women who are unable to fund their tertiary education.”

11 Forgotten Nigerian One Hit Wonders Posted: 16 Nov 2015 03:30 AM PST While some artistes have been able to churn out hits after hits, others have courted fame with just one hit and faded to oblivion. And although they might have released singles after their hits, it just wasn’t going to pull through and over shadow their one time banger. Everything from hip-hop, to Galala, hits by TY Bello, Olu Maintain, Konga and pop classics by Djinee and Jodi. Enjoy! 1. Bigiano – Shayo Bigiano made his debut as a solo artiste  in 2009 with the release of his monster hit, ‘Shayo’ before shayoing away. The singer in an interview explained the reason behind his absence saying he deliberately took a break in a bid to repackage his brand and be able to offer much more to his fans. According to him he couldn’t handle the fame that came with  ‘Shayo’ came and deliberately made the decision to go off the scene in 2011. 2. Olu Maintain – Yahooze Yes! He released other songs after Yahooze, but they just couldn’t compete in the stiff limelight with other music productions. Yahooze was the only hit Olu ever produced after his signing to Kenny’s music. 3. Jodi – Kuchi Kuchi Singer Jodi released her ballad Kuchi Kuchi a baby-inspired Zouk song at the tail end of 2010. The song which exudes innocence and is extremely melodic in its delivery and style was described as soulful, artsy and simply African by many music critics. After that nothing was heard of from Jodi anymore. 4. TY Bello – Greenland Photographer TY Bello also shot to limelight with her 2008 hit, Greenland played across the waves in Nigeria. She also released her album The Future four years later but Greenland still overshadowed it. 5. W4 – Kontrol When W4 released this song in 2010, virtually everybody slept on it, and it was the biggest song in the country enjoying massive airplay during that period partly because of the national fuel crisis as at that time. He has released other songs but they haven’t been as catchy as Kontrol. 6. Jazzman Olofin – Raise D Roof Everybody’s favourite song as at that time. Jazzman came and Jazzed the nation with his hit banger ‘Raise D Roof’ but his Jazz couldn’t work for him with his other songs. Raise D Roof still remains his hit song till date. 7. Kelly Handsome – Too Much Money It’s been over seven years since the “Too Much Money” was released by Kelly in his album, ‘Too Much Money’. The song enjoyed airplay nationally but it seems Kelly’s maga wasn’t enough to pay as his other songs just couldn’t make the top 15. 8. Marvelous Benji – New Dance The ‘Swoor’ king of the early 2000, Marvelous almost gave Daddy Shoki a run for his money after releasing his hit ‘New Dance’, but unfortunately that was to be the only hit to be heard from him. 9. Konga – Baby Konga Konga came and dealt us all a blow with his hit song ‘Baby Konga’ but faded to oblivion just when we thought he was about to start running the entertainment industry. 10. Mad Melon and Mountain Black – Danfo Driver Who can’t recall Danfo driver? That song is still a classical hit as far as Danfo drivers are concerned. Unfortunately, the duo who once ruled the Galala airwaves just couldn’t keep up with other fast rising singers. 11. Djinee – Ego We can’t ever forget DJinee and his hit single, “Ego’ that was played at most weddings and proposals. Although Djinee released other hits, his Ego still continued to overshadow them all.
