| Posted: 07 Oct 2013 12:36 PM PDT  The Huffington post has released its own list..A lot of musicians on Forbes list like Wizkid,Donjazzy didn't make it..Strange Well, whose list is more credible..Forbes or Huffington..... 1-Youssou N'dour Youssou N'dour brings it home in the No. 1 spot. This Senegalese singer is widely considered the most famous singer alive in Senegal and much of Africa. His style of music is known as mbalax, a mix of Senegalese traditional music in the Serer language and various styles fromaround the world including Cuban rumba, hip hop, jazz, and soul. With millions around the world in his fan base, he is now the owner of the biggest media house in Senegal (complete with radio and TV stations) and was appointed tourism and culture minister in 2012. More importantly, before K'naan had "Waving Flag" in 2010, N'dour was responsible for the 1998 FIFA World Cup national anthem, "La Cour des Grands," along with Axelle Red. 2-Psquare P-Square is made up of identical twins, Peter and Paul Okoye, who began singing and dancing together back in their small Catholic high school in Jos, Nigeria. After forming the group in 2005, their music developed a devoted following, particularly in South Africa, and each album outsold the previous one. They were named Artists of the Year at the 2010 Kora Awards and now bring in more than $150,000 per show. Best of all, their shared home is worth more than $3 million and has been dubbed "Squareville." Talk about product placement! 3-DBANJ D'banj, aka the Koko Master, aka Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo, has been killing it in his native Nigeria and around the world since 2007, and was the first African artist who signed with the music label GOOD, owned by Kanye West. The recipient of countless awards, D'banj is known for his unique sound of dance music and Afro beats. He is involved in a variety of investments including a nightclub in Nigeria, brands such as Koko water, and was given his own reality show, "Koko Mansion." 4. Koffi Olomidé Along with fellow Congolese star Fally Ipupa, Koffi Olomidé formed Quartier Latin as lead singer and vocalist before launching his solo career. Dubbing his style of music as tcha tcho, he considers it a blend of soukous music (dance music that originated from African rumba music). He's notorious for taking on controversial subjects in his lyrics, which has led him to be widely praised and criticized worldwide. Raking in over 100,000 euros per show, Olomidé is extremely popular across Africa and the world. One of his albums is listed in Robert Dimery's book, "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die." 5. Salif Keita Born and raised in Mali, singer and songwriter Salif Keita has been referred to as the "Golden Voice of Africa," with his original take on Afro-pop music. Despite his royal heritage (he's directly descended from Sundiata Keita, the founder of the Mali Empire), he chose a path of music, bucking the Malian caste system. But this means that he was loaded even before his music career took off, explaining his private island and properties across Europe 6. Fally Ipupa Fally Ipupa, a former member of Quartier Latin International (along with Koffi Olomidé, to be mentioned later), went solo in 2006 and has been incredibly successful, both in his home country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as internationally. With MTV Africa Music and Kora awards under his belt, he's racked up clothing endorsement deals in Paris as well as high commissions for his shows across the world, which are almost always sold-out. 7-2face Idibia Nigerian singer-songwriter 2 Face Idibia began his career as a member of the hip hop group Plantashun Boyz, but went solo in 2004 after the group split. His most popular song, "African Queen," took off after being featured in the movie "Phat Girlz" in 2006, but all of his five albums have been very well-received around the world. His wealth comes from various real estate investments across Nigeria, as well as the $80,000 he commands per show. 8. Hugh Masekela Musical sensation Hugh Masekela is a South African artist who plays a variety of instruments, including the trumpet, flugelhorn, and cornet, along with singing and composing his own work. He has been highly praised for his work, with everything from a Grammy nomination to the Order of the Ikhamanga by President Jacob Zuma (for achievements in arts, culture, literature, music, journalism, and sports in South Africa). He has graced prestigious festivals across the world. He is perhaps best known for his acapella-style singing and collaboration with Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo on the Graceland album and 1987 Graceland tour 9-Banky W Born Olubankole Wellington in the U.S., Banky W moved back to Nigeria and grew up in Lagos, where he began singing at an early age. Finding success early in singing competitions, most of his wealth has come from endorsement deals with companies such as Estisalat mobile and Samsung in Nigeria. He also started the Mr. Capable Foundation, an education charity that provides tuition scholarships for disadvantaged children. 10. Jose Chameleone Jose (or Joe) Chameleone is a Ugandan artist who found his niche blending traditional Ugandan folk music, a bit of rumba and a heavy reggae influence. He sings in English, Swahili, and Luganda. His mansion outside of Kampala and four cars (including a Cadillac Escalade and a Benz) are evidence of his success, particularly with his hit, "Valu Valu." He's been credited with changing the face of music in Uganda, as well as making local music accessible to the rest of the world. | ||
| Nigerian acid attack victim weeps with joy as her eyebrows are restored(Photos Posted: 07 Oct 2013 08:43 AM PDT  Naomi Oni, 21, had acid hurled over her face, head and body as she made her way home to Dagenham after her shift at Westfield's Victoria's Secret store last December. The acid burned off the skin on her face and scalp and left her temporarily blinded. She lost her eyelids, eyebrows and some of her hair in the assault. Since then, surgeons have painstakingly rebuilt her features including taking skin from the back of her ear to make new eyelids for her. But her eyebrows remained permanently damaged. Now, ten months on, her skin has healed enough for her to have her eyebrows restored. Naomi had a sophisticated semi-permanent make-up treatment that tattoos on the eyebrows as individual hairs, mimicking the effect of real brows. She said: 'It has been very difficult to come to terms with.My doctors have been brilliant but it will take years of laser surgery to repair my face.There is only so much you can do at any one time – then there is long healing process before you can undergo the next stage of the treatment.It is only now that I had been able to have semi-permanent make-up on my face.'I loved having the treatment – it feels so good to have my eyebrows back.  Naomi, from London, is still at a loss to explain why she was targeted. She said: 'I asked, "why me?" I work hard, I'm a good person.I'm the same person now but stronger.I want to say to my attacker, "You can burn my skin but you can't burn my soul."' Naomi was on the phone to her boyfriend after returning from work when she was attacked in Dagenham, Essex, on December 30 last year. She said: 'I felt a splash – that's when I thought, someone's out to kill me.I just started running straight home. I knew it was acid. It feels like something is eating way at your skin. I felt it most on my scalp, more than my face.' She arrived at her home shouting and banging on the door, screaming 'acid, acid.' Her family came to the door thinking she was excited about something. Then when her mother opened the door, Naomi said everyone's faces 'just dropped.'
Naomi is on leave from her job at Victoria's Secret lingerie store at Westfield shopping centre in Stratford, East London, while she recovers. She eventually plans to return to work and pursue her dream of becoming a make-up artist.Naomi was last night honoured for her bravery with a prize at the Inspiration for Women Awards at Cadogan Hall in Chelsea. Naomi's attacker, Mary Konye, a Nigerian also 21, from Canning Town, East London who is currently facing trial has been charged over the attack and will stand trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court in January.

| Lessons learnt from ALUU4 killings(Must Read) Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:37 AM PDT  The deed has been done, but are we sure that would be the last, would there not be a repeat??? Are we just going to talk about it till it becomes stale? There are lessons to be learnt. I have some to offer: A FAILED POLICE FORCE 1) We have lost faith in our Police Force, if we still believe in them, the boys would have been taken to the Police Station, and everyone would be rest assured that the case would be handled well. Can you imagine, the Policemen on ground complained that they didn't have enough bullets to scare the mob away? The Police has failed us, Aluu is not a remote village, and this barbaric act lasted for about four hours. - We need a total overhaul of our Police Force, an a re-introduction of it should carefully mapped out. LACK OF VALUE FOR LIFE 2) Life has little or no value in Nigeria. It is a normal thing to hear about deaths in different parts of Nigeria on daily basis. Yet the stinking aroma of unconcern is everywhere. We have become so used to the news of death, that it no longer in any way, affects us. As far as none of our relatives were killed, its none of our business. We have become lovers of that part of the bible which says 'a thousand shall fall by my right hand and ten thousand by my left, but none shall come near me'. We have become silent, beaten into intimidation by recurring death news. - Its time we use our mouths and shout at the top of our voices, then we would be heard. Use every platform available, facebook, twitter, bbm, let them know that, in our own little way, we are noisemakers…and can make a lot of noise. SOCIAL MEDIA – A DEADLY TOOL 3) Many have complained that the killing should not have been videotaped. I totally disagree. Whoever taped it and uploaded it online did the whole world a favour. The video brought a different side to the killing. Many watched it and vomited, others recoiled in horror, others cried. The video was the main evidence in the hands of the Police. It motivated people to join the cause and take a stand. Many top govt officials actually watched, and were not just told the story. - Now we can see the power of social media. The video immediately became popular with so many hits on youtube. Those people who someone called the idle and idling, twittering, collective children of anger the distracted crowd of facebook addicts, the BBM-pinging soap opera gossips of Nigeria are the ones actually pushing for justice…(I think we need a new name). LEADERSHIP 4) If this had happened in 'Oyimbo' land. John Maxwell, popular author on issues about leadership would have written a book on how to handle crisis as a leader. It is sad and painful, that there was actually a man, who could have done the right thing. The Community Leader or Community Killer, Chief Hassan Walewa, refused to be a leader at such critical moment and became the lowest follower…what a shame. He stood back and allowed such a thing on his turf. - People who are in leadership are supposed to be calm, and think straight when everything and everyone around them is burning up. LEAVE JUDGEMENT TO GOD 5) I agree that our judicial system also has a part to play in this brouhaha. The mob must have felt that the court process of convicting the boys would be slow and corrupt, and so decided to pronounce judgement. Even if the boys were guilty, What gave them the right, are they, themselves pure and holy. Remember, 'let not the kettle call the pot black'. No wonder God decided to take full control of the jurisdiction of judgement. - I believe in the law and state. I believe in the judgement of the court. Though, mistakes are inevitable and sometimes, the innocent cry and the guilty laugh, but it is still a better bargain when compared to jungle justice. Even animals are not treated that way. MISGUIDED ANGER 6) It is very obvious that the people who committed the beastly act were frustrated. They were fuelled by poverty, a failed system, unemployment, insecurity, and so they pounded the boys with their frustrations. Listening carefully to the sound from the video clip, you would hear the villagers talking about how rich the boys were. A hint of jealousy is very much obvious. To them, what they were doing was justified. They were killing the rich and corrupt people…(The Robin Hood Idea). They were ridding the country of the bad eggs..very funny. - If only they had known…if only they had known. The real corrupt people do not send their children to schools in Nigeria. They wear white agbada and white cap to match. They are heads of conglomerates, and are always awarded National Honours. Their anger was misplaced, misguided and directed at the wrong people. We complain about our failed state, let's talk to the government, let's demand for our rights, let's tell them that we don't have jobs, we don't feel safe, let's shout it out with one voice and not keep shut and wallow in painful silence, then pour out our pain on helpless individuals. Yet we kill ourselves and feel good about it. Our future is bleeding. Written by Akan Imoh @Ovasabii on twitter. |
