http://dft.ba/-3zjn

Don Jazzy granted an interview recently where he talked about why he is not in a hurry to get married and the physical attributes of his kind of woman.

“I’m single because I’ve not found the woman that my spirit agrees with. I was once married in the United Kingdom, but it was short lived. The union produced a son named after me. I don’t want to experience a collapsed marriage again. That is why I am taking my time, working and praying for a soul mate,” he says.

On what he finds attractive in a woman?
“The way she looks, talks and how she carries herself. With due respect to slim ladies, there is no way any lady shaped like a broom can attract my full attention. I’m sorry but that’s the truth.
“My ideal woman must be God-fearing. She must have all the basic curves in the right places. The rounder and bigger her chest and backside, the better,” he says.

HOW THEY QUALIFIED
Nigeria qualified for this tournament by defeating Liberia 8-3 on aggregate in October. The Super Eagles missed out on qualifying for the 2012 tournament in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea for the first time in 26 years. They returned to the continental competition with an emphatic victory over the Lone Stars after a shaky two-legged encounter against Rwanda. Former captain and present coach Stephen Keshi is hoping to rebuild a side that would emulate his 1994 championship-winning team.

THE COACH | STEPHEN KESHI


Stephen Keshi took over the reins as coach of the Super Eagles in November 2011 after the team failed to qualify for the 2012 Afcon, the first time in 26 years. He took over the job at a time when the side was low in confidence and started by getting players from the local league to play a greater part in the national team.

A year on, Keshi has been able to merge the technical skills of the Europe-based players with the enthusiasm of the local players. They have combined well to form a new Super Eagles that the country is beginning to place its hopes in again. Leading his third team to the Afcon – following stints with Togo and Mali – Keshi will be hoping to finally win his first Afcon game. His experience garnered as a player where he led the Eagles to victory in 1994 will be needed to inspire this Nigerian side to great things in South Africa.

THE CAPTAIN | JOSEPH YOBO


Defender Joseph Yobo took over the skipper’s armband from Nwankwo Kanu after the shambolic 2010 World Cup where Nigeria bowed out in the group stage. Yobo has brought a calmness to the backline, even though he has been dogged by persistent injuries in recent times.

The Fenerbahce defender, who became the most capped player in his country’s history, has already won three bronze medals at the Afcon. In South Africa, Yobo will be hoping to finally win the coveted trophy in order to justify the length of time spent in the country’s service.

THE STAR PLAYER | JOHN OBI MIKEL


Mikel has had a chequered history in the service of his nation but the midfielder returned to the national team with a goal in their last qualifier against Liberia. If there’s any player that Nigeria will be looking to for inspiration at the Afcon, Mikel will surely be on the top of the list.

The Chelsea man has won almost every title in club football. Mikel can be the catalyst to a new era of domination for the Nigerians if he gives to the men in Green and White as much as he gives to the Blues in English Premier League action.

THE EMERGING TALENT | VICTOR MOSES


Victor Moses could have been lost to the Three Lions and many of his country men are happy that he finally came back home after representing England’s youth teams. The 22 year-old played a key role in the Super Eagles’ qualification series and chipped in a brace in the final 6-1 demolition of Liberia in Calabar.

His move to Chelsea in the summer of 2012 has made him more visible on the international scene and he will be looking to confirm his billing at the 2013 Afcon. His pace and dribbling skills are his assets. Joined by compatriot Ahmed Musa on the wings, the starlet will hope to emerge as one of the stars in South Africa.

You remember the lyrical beef between these Iceberg Slim and M.I? It was pretty intense and was the talk on the streets for a while, but they have now finally put whatever they had in the past behind them and decided to do a track together.

Quite a number of perks come with being a movie star in this part of the world. They include designer clothes, luxury cars and posh apartments. Apart from their penchant for such status symbols, today’s Nollywood actors and actresses are also seen as role models, especially to the young and impressionable who dream of becoming stars some day.

But, judging by the results of a recent investigation conducted by Saturday Beats, it appears all that glitters is not gold, after all.

Contrary to popular opinion, the life of the average Yoruba movie star is that of constant ‘suffering and smiling’.

In spite of the fabulous profiles and immense goodwill enjoyed by some of these celebrated screen gods and goddesses, the contents of their bank accounts are really nothing to be cheerful about.

Even the ‘alarming’ increase in the volume of home video films produced in Yoruba language ought to be sufficient to improve the bank balances of such celebrities. To make matters worse, many of them suffer from a financial disease known as ‘Withdrawal Symptom.’ In fact, it is no longer news that a good number are regular visitors to ATMs.

“As soon as money is paid into their bank accounts, you will see them rushing to the nearest ATM to withdraw almost all the cash,” an amused banker told Saturday Beats recently.

Certainly it is difficult to believe that no reasonably successful Yoruba actor or actress has ever been paid up to N500, 000 for a lead role in any movie. Half a million seems a fantastic sum by all indications. Instead, the maximum fee payable to the best actor or actress has remained between N150k and N250k. Even many of the ‘veterans’ receive as low as N10k to appear in a film feature.

While those that are constantly in demand or have won awards in the industry, such as the likes of Funke Akindele and Odunlade Adekola, earn a maximum of N250k per feature film, the rest are left with peanuts. Interestingly, an exception to this ‘golden rule’ is Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde. s investigation shows that she earns between N250k and N400k.

Another ‘big earning’ actor is Adebayo Salami, aka Oga Bello. It is said that he hardly receives part payment from any producer. Usually on location, he would demand his fee of not more that N150,000 before going into action.

The same is said about Omotola who does not budge until she or her manager has confirmed that a certain amount of money has been deposited in her bank account.

However, the so-called big budget film productions have never exceeded the N3m mark despite the fact that a lot of money goes into paying the crew and cast. Money is also spent on production equipment, lights, costumes, makeups, transport, food, accommodation, generating plant sets, and other logistics/incidental expenses. That is also why most of the cast and crew are grateful when the filmmaker or marketer, who bankrolls the production, is able to hand them paltry sums of money.

“You can count on your fingers the number of individuals involved in the production who respectively got paid less than N50,000,” a production hand says.

Also included in the budget are the editing suite staff, copies of empty VCDs to be dubbed, posters and film jackets to be printed, marketing and distribution.

Now we know why most of the highly paid or underpaid actors/ actresses are writing their own movie scripts and directing or producing their own movie projects, as well as saturating the market with volumes of half-baked home videos every week.

Bukky Wright was the highest paid actress in the Yoruba language genre before Funke Akindele broke her N150,000 per featured film record with Jenifa.

Omilade Babatunde, aka Baba Suwe, used to be the highest paid aactor until the much younger Odunlade Adekola, aka Cause Trouble, began to earn up to N250k per feature film. The other notable figures? Well, they are trying hard to catch up with Omotola, Funke and Odunlade.

Omotola, Adebayo Salami, Funke Akindele, Bukky Wright and Odunlade Adekola were unavailable for comment.

But prolific film producer, Kunle Afolayan, said, “I really don’t know how much they earn now because I’ve since moved on to other major things.”

Top actress, Lizzy Anjorin, found it hard to answer the question.

“Ha! That’s a tough question that I don’t have a ready answer for. Fees vary from one filmmaker to another. As for me, I bill per script and I don’t appear in just about any film.”

Saturday Beats sought the view of scriptwriter/actor/filmmaker, Femi Davies.\

Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola is a well known face in the industry with many projects under her belt. In this interview, the beautiful actress reveals intimate things about her journey through life and what direction her career is likely to take in future.



Read the interview below:

 

Why I am more into movie production than acting

I am a person that is very restless in nature. I have been acting for over 18 years. I feel that it is becoming monotonous for me; doing the same old thing over and over again, despite the fact that creativity is dropping by the day. I still do a bit of acting; it is just that I am more of a production person. I am even derailing a bit back into doing English soap operas which was what I started out from. I started with soap opera and English movies before I delved into Yoruba movies.

Competition from upcoming actors

The only thing that is constant in life is change. If you do not look beyond and think outside of the box, you are going to box yourself in the corner. What I mean by that is that there is no how you would not grow. There is this proverb that says you have to take a bow when the ovation is loudest. Taking a bow doesn’t mean leaving the scene; it means you should go and re-strategise and find ways to work around things that would make you relevant. There is no way I would say my younger colleagues should not grow. I started out when I was a teenager and I have had my fair share of the industry. I’m still having it. I’m still staying relevant. The only thing you can do is just to make yourself relevant. A threat from the younger generation is not one that relates with me. I am not one that would sit in a corner. A lot of my colleagues ask why I read so much. I just had my masters degree, I am going for my Ph.D. I believe in dynamism and upgrading myself at every point in time so nobody is a threat to me.

Journey so far

When I started I was very young. I was about 16 years and I had not entered the university for my first degree. At that time, I was a young girl who wanted to have fun and I did not see myself as anything. One thing about me is that I have had it in my sub-conscious that stardom would not change me or take anything away from me. I have had my challenges, times when I wanted to party with my friends, go to clubs, parties, go out to have fun. People see me and begin to talk. At each point in time, because I was a teenager, I might have made one or two mistakes. At the end of the day, I learnt while growing up in the industry that you do not do things like this, you just walk around them. It is just part of learning in life. I am not one person that regrets anything. I just learn from my past. Anything I have done in life, I do not wish they never happened.

My dream of becoming a lecturer

I have always wanted to be a diplomat. I have always loved to be a lecturer; that is why I’m still upgrading my education. I had a scholarship in Canada but I had to postpone my admission to take another course. It is an ongoing process.

My parents’ reaction to my career

My dad is late; I lost him when I was very young. My mum was strongly against my movie career. She felt that I would be too exposed. Later, my mentors called her, spoke to her and gave her the assurance that I would still go to school. They told her that I would still be educated and do the normal things people do. She grudgingly agreed but I’m sure she has not regretted it so far. I sneaked to location several times after she said I should not go. There was a time she had to shave my head because I sneaked to location. I thought I would be back home that day but I did not get to our house until 2am. She was really worried; immediately she saw me, she picked a pair of scissors and shaved my head. I had to put relaxer on my hair to make it look like rough curls. Later, when she saw that I was determined and dogged about it, she allowed me. She just made me to sign an undertaking that I was going to go to school. She is an educationist so I had to sign and give her the assurance that I was going to go to school.

My first crush

I would say that my first crush was my first relationship. I was about 17 years old then. Unfortunately, he was not the first person I had sex with. I share it with the younger generation because it is something that has been talked about but I have got over it. The first time I had sex, I was molestd. I had my first relationship with the first person I had a crush on, Seun Olomofe. He is one of the most caring and considerate persons I have ever met in my life. He was my mother’s close friend’s son. He was one person that showed me so much love. He was always there for me; he was the first person to ever make me a special card. I had a huge crush on him. When sex was not coming to play in the relationship, he said he was tired and I was so heart-broken. I was supposed to go to University of Lagos; it was because of him I changed my admission to Obafemi Awolowo University. I saw him as an epitome of the kind of person I would like to spend the rest of my life with. That was the first major crush that I had.




My first segxwal encounter

My first introduction to sex was molest. It was with one of our tenants. I got so close to him and saw him as an elder brother. He looked at me as someone that had been exposed because I was busty and he thought I had had a segxwal experience before. So he had his way with me. Then it was not something you tell the whole world. People said we should keep quiet about it. Then they tried to make trouble with him but subsequently people said we should keep quiet about it. We had to try and manage it in our own way even though it affected me for a long time psychologically. I had to gradually get over it. I believed so much in the principle of keeping your virginity till you are married. I started showbiz from Teen TV on DBN with Chichi Okaro. Then I used to be so vocal and when we spoke about pre-marital sex and virginity, I was always so passionate about it. It was such a disadvantage and a pity for me.

My experience as a busty lady

At the initial stage, I used to be so ashamed of myself. At that time, I would wear clothes that would not let my bust be noticeable. I was trying everything I could so that it would not be obvious. Subsequently, when I started acting and reading books, I read a book that said the best admirer you have is yourself and the way you carry yourself is how people would take you. I had to psyche myself to love it. After I did so, I noticed that I was getting advances even from people I didn’t expect, like some of my late father’s friends. Being a deep thinker, I always look at the advantage of everything, I saw that it was something I could not change so I had to make the best out of it. I got it into my sub-conscious that it was a plus than minus. I have had reasons to talk to a lot of people that are busty and who do not appreciate themselves. They now see it as an asset than a liability.

He started out as a music producer. But when it was time to kick off his career as a rapper, Abudulrasheed Bello chose to be called Johnny Just Come (JJC).

From his days as the founder of the group, JJC and the 419 Squad, which had D’banj and Don Jazzy as members, till now when he is a solo artiste, this musician who is also known as Skillz has remained relevant in the scheme of things.

While most artistes who started out in 1999 like he did are panting for breath, JJC just scored another hit with African Skank. His earlier single, We Are Africans still draws music lovers to the dance floor. In this interview with TS Weekend, the KORA award winning rapper talks about almost everything from his love life, religion, career and to why it makes sense trying catching up with those he once taught how to play music.

TODAY IS SUNDAY, DID YOU GO TO CHURCH?

No, I didn’t. I went clubbing yesterday. So I slept late. I couldn’t go to church and this question kind of makes me feel guilty.

DOES THIS MEAN YOU ARE THE CHURCH GOING TYPE?

I actually have a colourful background. We are 13 in my family. I am in the middle. I am a born-again in the sense that I was born a Muslim but I do go to church. I believe in God and I pray in the Muslim way. But I haven’t made up my mind (which religion to adhere to).

SO, IT WON’T BE WRONG TO SAY YOU AREN’T STRICT WHEN IT COMES TO RELIGION?

I am not strict about religion. My mum is Christian while my father is Muslim. Every Sunday, I learn about both Christianity and Islam. My brothers and sisters argue back and forth about both religions. The atheists in the family do chip in on the arguments. So you could say that we are a family of free thinkers. We were raised not being extreme about religion.

THE LAST 13 YEARS HAVE BEEN GREAT FOR NIGERIAN MUSIC. AS ONE OF THE EARLY STARTERS, DID YOU ENVISAGE THAT THE INDUSTRY WOULD GET THIS BIG?

I started doing music for Nigeria in 1998/1999. But I had my breakthrough in 2000 with the winning of the MOBO award. At that time when I started, I felt that the Nigerian music industry was amateurish. I did the best I could to contribute to the growth of the industry from London. And I also came home to promote the industry through different ways, including training artistes. But I knew that the music industry would grow. There is nothing that you work on diligently that doesn’t get better with time. I guess that’s why I did songs to inspire people, songs like Nigeria Is The Best Land. I remember people looking at me like I was crazy singing a song like that. They used to tell me that I could sing a song like that because I lived in England. But I used to tell them that if they could only look into the future, they would see that Nigeria is indeed the best land especially when it comes to the music industry. Fortunately for us, we own the industry, unlike in England where big international companies are in control.

YOU AND SOME OTHER GUYS ARE FORERUNNERS OF HIP HOP IN NIGERIA. BUT MOST OF YOU AREN’T IN THE FRONT NOW. HOW DOES THIS MAKE YOU FEEL AND DO YOU THINK YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE APPRECIATED?

One I thing I know is that one has to work hard and leave the rest to God. He is the one that determines what happens. Like you said, there are some of us who led the way and are still in the game with the rave acts. Judging by what you said, I shouldn’t complain. If someone like you could mention my name and other pioneers like Eldee, Kennis Music and DJ Jimmy Jatt as the guys who laid the foundation, then, I cannot complain. Even if you look at the hip-hop scene in America, it is not the forefathers of the genre that are reaping from it today. I am like those guys in America. Just like me, that they aren’t the rave act doesn’t mean that they have resigned to fate. They still re-organise themselves to be relevant in the industry that they helped to build. The music industry is all about rejuvenating oneself.

DO YOU EVER GET TIRED OF REPACKAGING YOURSELF TO FIT WITH NEW TRENDS?

I actually had a similar conversation with some younger colleagues recently. They expressed surprise over how I still have vigour for the industry. They told me I promote my music like an upcoming artiste. They asked if I didn’t know I was JJC. I don’t see things that way. Rather, I am grateful that I am still around kicking things with the younger artistes. I am happy that I can still do all I need to do to be relevant. It is really not hard to understand because I am doing the same things all artistes need to do. I perform at shows. I go on radio; I am in the print media and social media to talk about my music.

Just like in the beginning, I want to create a fan-base that will support me in the next 20 years. I want to be like the Rolling Stones and The Beatles who have fans cutting across four generations. It is only in Nigeria that people will expect that after releasing certain number of albums, you retire or start doing something else. I am not for that ideology because music is all I know. I loved doing music, I love doing music and I will continue to love doing music.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU LOVE THE MUSIC BUSINESS. BUT HAS IT BEEN FINANCIALLY REWARDING?

I have been fortunate in the sense that aside from succeeding in making a career from music, I have made money. I have been able to build houses from music. I am fortunate to have been brought up in the UK. I feel for majority of Nigerian artistes, because over here it is hard to make money from music. Here, you have to spend a lot to get noticed. In Nigeria when your song is aired on radio or TV, you don’t get paid royalty. In some cases, the artiste has to pay for his/her song to be played. So, in most cases, Nigerian artistes work so hard when they should be enjoying what they do. For me, I have had my good and bad times in Nigeria. I am at the verge of going to the next stage of my career, the stage where Tuface, P-Square and D’banj are. These guys enjoy corporate branding. They have gotten to the level where powerful people are willing to collaborate with them because they know that these guys have a large fan base.

PEOPLE WOULD WONDER IF IT IS A GOOD THING FOR YOU TO ASPIRE TO BE LIKE D’BANJ, WHEN YOU GROOMED DON JAZZY, WHO IN TURN CREATED THE KOKO MASTER’S SOUND?

I don’t see anything wrong with it. Rather, it is a good story to tell that a teacher learns from his student. I was brought up with the mentality that there is nothing strange about teaching someone and he progresses so much that you can pick a few things from him. It is high time we started thinking that way in Nigeria. I applaud D’banj for what he has been able to achieve. He is a big brand. I doubt if I ask people walking on the street right now and they would say they don’t know who D’banj is. We should celebrate him and the others that have made Nigerian and African music global. Life is like a circle. I was like them years back and I helped them get into the game. Now, there are leading acts and I am studying their style to see what I can get from them so that I can get back into the lead.

LAST YEAR, YOU CAME OUT TO DEFEND YOURSELF WHEN D’BANJ SAID THAT HE WOULDN’T CHEAT DON JAZZY LIKE YOU DID. HERE YOU ARE COMMENDING HIM. HAVE YOU GUYS SETTLED AFTER THAT EPISODE?

I haven’t seen D’banj after what happened. But the air has been cleared between both camps. I have gotten several emails from common friends and I can tell you there is no bad blood between us. I guess it is just the way people like to do things in Nigeria. They want to know who is fighting who. For me, we are all brothers who should work together to promote the Nigerian brand.

YOU ALWAYS DO SONGS TO PROMOTE AFRICA AND NIGERIA. IS THIS YOUR OWN WAY OF BRANDING YOUR MUSIC IN A PLACE LIKE EUROPE?

When I started out as a producer, I did all kinds of music. I did club music, s*x music and other kinds of music. But when I decided to create the foundation for my career and the character, which I would play, which is Johnny Just Come (JJC), I knew my music will standout. My story had to be about a Nigerian who hadn’t forgotten home. When I started out, it was the time that Nigerians weren’t finding it easy with the UK government. At that time, people were stopped and searched on the streets. You had to have your passport on you. People didn’t want to be identified as Nigerians but I was singing about Nigeria. But now people aren’t afraid to identify themselves as Nigerians anymore. I am happy I was a beacon of hope for Nigerians when things got tough in England.

YOU ARE A SINGER/PRODUCER AND YOU ALSO ARE A LABEL EXECUTIVE. WHICH ONE OF THESE THREE ROLES IS YOUR FAVOURITE?

I love being on stage. But my best moments are when I am teaching others. I feel great when I meet people and they tell how I taught them this or that thing in music. I meet people on the train or at shows and they tell me how big they have become from when I taught them a skill that got them where they are. Look at the D’banj story. Five to six years after we were together, he turned out to be a success story.

WHO IS THAT PROTÉGÉ THAT GOT THE BEST OF YOU?

I will say Don Jazzy because we were more like friends. We used to hang out a lot. We partied together. And he is the person who shares my ideology that we need to inspire artistes. We might not be close now but I see all the good stuff he is doing by discovering talented artistes and producers. I hope these people he has discovered will also pass down the knowledge to the next generation.

ARE YOU MARRIED?

At this point I am not married.

Seeing pictures of the college where our policemen are trained, not only reminds one of how successive governments have failed in their responsibilities, not only to these trainees but Nigerians in general as well as calls to question the psychological state of most policemen scattered across the country.

If our policemen are trained in an environment not even fit for animals, how do we expect them to begin to even relate properly with the civilian populace they are meant to protect? Who malnourishes his dog and expects it to bark when danger looms or who sows beans and expects to reap apples? It is a natural law; what you sow is what you reap! GIGO.

The pictures below tell the story of the Nigeria Police College, Ikeja, Lagos – the first police college in the country, built in 1940. Deplorable does not even begin to describe its current state.

Thanks to Channels TV, Nigerians and indeed the whole world, now knows the inhuman conditions of the dormitories at the training college where recruits spend months training to become police officers.

The college which was initially built to accomodate 700 students, unsurprisingly, now holds not less than 2,554 trainees. And since its conception about 70-years ago, there has been no major development at the college except for a few renovations. What’s more, the trainees are only entitled to a N150 daily meal allowance.

So, the next time you see a police officer discharging his duties, before you begin to blow all the grammar and boast if he knows who you are, think twice about where he is coming from and the conditions that moulded him – it might do you a whole world of good

Niyola has  brand new promo photos – and they rocks! She is hardly recognisable from when she first appeared on the Nigerian music scene.

The rising EME recording artiste exhibits star qualities and is far from the fresh-faced shy girl from a couple of years ago. Oh, and she was recently verified by Twitter, apparently the latest status symbol in the Nigerian celeb sphere.

She said that in five years she hopes to be – “one of the most successful and most sought after female musicians in Africa” and her career path if she decided not to venture into the music industry – “A journalist”.

Nollywood top actress and mother of four, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has decided to return to music, as she prepares to release a new album this year.

It would be recalled that since the release of her first album titled ‘Gba’ in 2006, the actress has not done any major work in terms of music.

Omotola who has been kept off music by her busy schedule in the movies and most recently, her reality show, ‘The Real Omosexy’, is back in the studio with plans to feature award winning, Senegalese-born star, Akon as a special guest in the new album.

In preparation for her forthcoming album, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde disclosed she has “enlisted help from the producers of Akon’s Konvict Music.”

‘I am currently working with Grammy award winning producer Kendrick Dean and Verse Simmonds from Konvict music and we are working towards featuring a special guest

We really can’t figure out the concept behind this wedding reception, but our rough guess is that the couple love the idea of Burj Arab in Dubai, and were keen on recreating something close to it here.

However, they scaled down theirs to a swimming pool, not the middle of an ocean.

G.O.O.D music boss, Kanye West and reality TV star Kim Kardashian are planning to exchange vows in a pledged ceremony.

Kim who is expecting her first child can’t have a proper wedding because her divorce from her ex-husband Kris Humphries hasn’t been finalized. The couple has decided to hold a commitment ceremony, where they will declare vows and exchange rings.

A source close to Kanye has revealed: “Kanye is very traditional. He’d have liked to marry Kim now they are having a baby. But with Kim still married to someone else, there is not much he can do. It won’t be official like a wedding because Kanye wants that to be extra special when the time comes. But they will still exchange rings – they just won’t wear them on their wedding fingers.”

The ceremony will take place at a mansion in Malibu. An insider said the event would be “a lot more low-key than a wedding”.

Kim, 32, and Kanye, 35, announced their news at the beginning of the year. The baby is thought to be due at the end of June and the couple has already started preparing by splashing out on a family home in Bel Air

Governor Sullivan Chime, who has been missing from Enugu State since September 2012 when he applied accumulated leave that ought to have lasted only one and a half months, is battling heart disease in London’s Cromwell Hospital, sources have told SaharaReporters.

Despite efforts to ferry him home to quell public restlessness in the State, the condition of the governor, whose medical sojourn started in India, has remained dire.

The prolonged absence of the Governor has left the state under the complete control of his Chief of Staff, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo.  Deputy Governor Sunday Onyebuchi, who is a neophyte, is limited to monetary spending limit of not more than N500,000k at a time.

Before becoming governor, Mr. Chime was Enugu state's Attorney General in the government of now-indicted former Governor Chimaroke Nnamani.  During Chimaroke's reign in the state and for eight years, several assassinations, including that of Victor Nwankwo, the business manager of the vocal activist Arthur Nwankwo, helped to chill public dissent.

Following the disappearance from public view of Governor Chime in 2012, several assassinations have also been experienced in the state.  Emeka Agwu, a man described as vocal and fearless, was assassinated in December 2012.  He hailed from Udi, the same local government area as the governor.

Other assassinations, including those of Ogbo Edoda and Ikeckucku Alagwu, a coordinator of MDG projects in two LGAs, have sent fear throughout the state and chilled notable voices.  So far, there are no investigations into those murders.
Enugu indigenes are fearful about what lies ahead for the State, and many prominent church leaders who hail from the same area as the governor have gone silent.  The state assembly is also in the pockets of the governor.

  but serz

t’s a long way from Okokomaiko, where he grew up. And in between being just another kid full of dreams and becoming one of Nigeria’s hottest young stars, he’s had a full life. He’s studied zoology at Lagos State University, been a serious member of a 3-man band, written and composed nearly a hundred songs, and released an album.
Then he got signed to Chocolate City.
And with the release Son Of A Kapenta, his sophomore album and first under Chocolate City, he’s cementing his stand as a voice determined to barge in, get your attention and keep you listening.
His lead single ‘Ara’ won the Recording of the year at The Headies and Most gifted Afro Pop Video at the Channel O Awards.
In this interview he talks about growing up, stardom and how it seems everything has only been leading up to now.



Your album dropped November last year. How’s it been since then?

It’s been amazing. For one we are getting good reviews, and the marketer is not complaining. *laughs* But basically, I don’t think I want to evaluate the album yet until I make more videos and see how far that goes.


How many videos are you planning to shoot?

At least another 2.



‘Ara’ won the award for Best Afro Pop Video at the Channel O Awards. What was that moment like?

I was there sitting beside Sam, my manager. I think I was to present an award so I was waiting to go backstage. And then they just announced that I won an award. It was a great moment. To add to that I was looking extra fly. I dug out one costume like that. *laughs*

So this year…What’s the plan?

Um, aside from my videos, there’s going to be a lot of promotion. I’m hoping the album does well… I’m hoping that the work on the album is actually good enough to get me where I need to be.

Basically I’m just going to promote and promote and promote.


It’s a very good album. How long were you working on it for?

Pretty much from 2012. I remember having that conversation with MI. He asked me what I would call it and I said, “Son of a Kapenta.” He was like: “Nice one.”

That was like June, July 2010.

So I was able to build around it… The most amazing thing however was during the recording process, as soon as I recorded a song, I would immediately know if it was going to make the album. I didn’t know how many songs in all were going to be in it. But all the songs I was going to use I actually picked them out during recording.

I tried to record as much as possible during a one year period. So if I could still like a song after some months I knew it was a good one. So I would record, leave it in the studio and then go back and listen. Every time I came back to it, I’d listen and listen and listen again. I figured if I could like it still after all that time- my own song- and not get tired, people would like them too.

Ideas kept coming in. It was an amazing experience.



What’s the hardest part of making music for you?

The biggest problem artistes face is that final moment of just reconciling your music with yourself. It is designed in such a way that the musician is like a storyteller. Storytelling is a core part of music. So the most difficult part for most artistes is accepting the person that you are and sharing with the world.

When I was recording my first album, I didn’t know how to put melody to stuff that had happened to me. So I would just come up with stories. So when people listened to the song, they’d just hear the story, with no soul.

No matter how much success one is looking for, as long as you look inward, and you’re honest, people can relate.

And the bulk of the time, when you share something with people, it sort of sets you free.

So making an album was like documenting a chapter of my life. When you close it, it’s supposed to become part of your history. It just becomes a part of  who you were.



What’s the biggest blessing about stardom?

I believe stardom is quite amazing. When I was about 10, I was in trouble with my dad a lot. So he forced me to go to Arabic school. Within two years I was meant to graduate. It’s usually a very big ceremony. We were supposed to have memorized the entire Koran by then and reciting a portion was part of the ceremony. About a thousand guests were present because people’s entire families, I mean families, used to show up. When I was called upon, I was walking out and the Imam said, “Stop. Go back. Do that walk again.” So I did. And the Imam said: “See this one. He has swag.”

And everybody laughed. When it was my turn to recite, I started and I could hear everybody going still.

They practically paused the event after I was done and started saying this one is special. He’s good. It was a moment for me. For me at the time, it was just too much energy that I had to put somewhere else. Like: Okay if I do this will they let me do something else?

For me, I think that was my first exposure to what fame was like. To me it meant a lot.

Stardom, as shocking as it is, it’s a function of something else. A function of music. If I didn’t make music nobody would care.

But then on the other hand, it’s an amazing experience. All the people you admired… All the people you looked up to… you see yourself becoming them. It’s such a beautiful experience that you can actually get lost in it.

Every single thing that people work for: Respect, love… You get it for free. Men, women, children…Everybody loves you. They see you somewhere and walk up to you “Hi, I really like your song!” They forgive your mistakes.

What’s on your playlist right now?



I intentionally make sure there are Nigerian songs Tuface, Asa…some MI… Also a few Nigerian’s outside the country: Sade, Lemar. Then John Mayer and Frank Ocean. Frank Ocean. I also had a feel of local music when I was growing up. Listened to Fuji, Juju etc so that influences me too.

What’s been the moment you looked back and were like: ‘Na me  be this’?

There was a day I was performing at Eko Hotel and when Ara played the place practically shut down. One of my most effortless performances. The type where people are just screaming your lyrics from beginning to end. And you’re just on stage.

Everybody stood up and I was just wow. Wow. Wow.
