| Read The Shocking side of the Story Obesere's alleged R*pe victim's Friend Revealed!! Posted: 08 Mar 2014 08:43 AM PST  Bola Okoro, a friend of the lady of claimed she was raped by Obesere has come out to tell her own side of the story. She told newsmen during a press conference in Oyo that the lady was lying and she introduced her to the musician and the accuser whose real name is Morenike Kikelomo and not Olanike Olaiya that she's widely been referred to told her she was going to blackmail the musician "I warned her not to try such a thing and I thought she had taken to my advice. Obesere is my business partner and I introduced Olanike to him in order for him to help her with her business without knowing that she had another plan to malign him. She was with Obesere on Tuesday and called me that she would be coming to Ibadan to check on her child on Wednesday, but I told her to wait; that I was also coming to Lagos for a meeting, and she came to meet me at that meeting.I was not aware that anything was wrong with her until we got to Ibadan, but I was surprised when Obesere called me that Olanike said she was bleeding that I should take her to the hospital..... When I inquired about what was wrong, she told me that if I needed money, I should support her plan to collect N10 million from Obesere, but I refused. "I told her that I would never be part of that plan before she proceeded to Lagos and reported the alleged abuse at Okota Police Station. She had been abandoned by her parents because of her waywardness before I took up her responsibility. "I have known Alhaji Obesere for over 12 years and he is a responsible, kind-hearted individual who cannot hurt a fly. I wonder why he would stoop so low as to rape or use a girl for ritual when so many girls are out there who want to have him," TOP STORIES |
| SEE Why My Wife (Ibadiaran) Is Very Romantic – Popular Yoruba Actor Reveals! [SEE PHOTO] Posted: 08 Mar 2014 07:43 AM PST  Deji Adenuga is presently the producer of the popular Nigeria Carnival in Dublin, Ireland, and a veteran of Nigeria's theater industry. Arguably one of the 'early birds' of Nollywood, he has traversed the major platforms of stage, television and movie production with impressive feats and accolades. In 2006, and owing to family obligations, he relocated to Ireland, United Kingdom where he has equally been able to continue to blaze the trail albeit on a broader platform. Adedeji Idowu Adenuga is a renowned actor/producer and the Managing Director of D-Dymensions Communication Limited; a leading international group of companies based in the Republic of Ireland. It is the holding company for four subsidiaries through which they offer a wide range of creative, strategic, high-quality and effective services. Presently, he is the Producer of the Nigeria Carnival Ireland and other business interests. A native of Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, and graduate of Physical and Health Education from the then Ogun State University, now Olabisi Onabanjo University, he regards himself as a relationship consultant/marriage counselor. In this revealing chat with Daily Newswatch, Deji talked about his journey so far in acting, his new venture in Dublin, Ireland, return to acting and of course his wife whom he describes as 'Energy in Motion'. Excerpts: Attraction to wife First, it was her innocent look, then her wits and intelligence. She is such a vibrant lady; we call her "Energy in Motion"! Our genesis I actually met her at the central choir meeting of The Apostolic Church, which we were both part of then. We hold a Convention every year and it is still on till date. During the preparations for one of these conventions, I think this was 1986, I spotted this beautiful girl and I thought I liked her. She just came to the combined singing practice for the first time and she looked so different! But of course, I wasn't thinking anything near love or girl friend, no. During one of our breaks, I went to her and out of cheer courtesy; she was very warm in her response. That was all for then. I wasn't particularly looking out for her throughout the rest of the meetings and the year's convention. But by the following year, we got friendlier. We started exchanging letters as friends and she was very good at discussion, I mean really intelligent! For a secondary school girl, she was just too intelligent. My toasting Apart from conventions, there were other meetings that would bring us together as youth in the church, so we were seeing each-other more frequently and the exchange of letters still didn't stop! I went to NUGA games in Port Harcourt in 1988 and as soon as I got there, I had to send her a letter as she would be expecting to see me at the meeting that week-end. In the letter, I enclosed a very beautiful Easter greeting card that I thought would bring a special message to her. When I got back home form NUGA games, I went to the post office to check letters only to find out that she also sent an Easter card to me the same day I sent mine from Port Harcourt… the same card!! I knew in my mind it was not a coincidence. We talked about this after and she just smiled. I then noticed that my heart started beating faster than normal every time I thought of her. I had a small get together that year for my birthday at the convention; I found that she was the only one who gave me a present. I thought about many things that happened in quick succession. We have been told a long time ago before then in the church that you should pray ahead of time for life partner, not only when you are desperate for a relationship or a partner that you should begin to pray for one and be asking for signs! So when I considered the prayers I have prayed in those days when I was not even ripe for a relationship, and I observed what was happening, then I asked her to be my girlfriend! She was so scared but very real. There's nothing fake in that girl, I must say. Very beautiful and so innocent, very brave! Playing hard to get No! Like I said earlier, she is so real. She always knows what she wants and her sense of judgment is absolutely fantastic. We dated for some years after that and at some point, I proposed to her to marry me. What else does a man want in a woman that she doesn't have? Even more than you can imagine. My children laughed when I told them how I proposed to her with a cake instead of a ring or flower. My wife is romantic Ibadiaran mi is very romantic. As a matter of fact, I have actually learnt a lot from her in that department. My fashion sense I am as fashionable as a village boy can be. I am a completely local bred Can't do without My pair of glasses. Diet routine My three square meal must be complete, and that's just because of my medication. Nothing complicated, but no whole sugar. Favourites For food, eba, colour is blue, while for designer, my wife. As regards drink, water, any nice ride is ok by me for car; a sea side is my favourite for holiday spot while I am always at home in native attires Growing up I was born and thoroughly bred in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State where I had my primary, secondary and tertiary education. For primary, I attended Imososi Wesley School, and then went to Methodist Commercial Secondary Modern School. In those days, it was not a common thing to go to colleges, high schools; as such, schools were so few in the kind of locality where I grew up. My parents were illiterates and they considered the only full status Secondary School in Ago Iwoye then, (Ago Iwoye Secondary School) a haven for thugs. And this was simply because of the acts they saw as rascally then; such as, please don't laugh… when students come out in rags and they start begging for money (student union week/rag days). You see what I mean? Even though I regretted not attending Ago Iwoye Secondary school, I enjoyed every moment of my time in "Legumo", the fondest name my modern school was known for. The school later became Methodist Comprehensive High School. Of course, my parents later got to understand that there was nothing mischievous about full status secondary schools or the students in them, as all modern schools were upgraded. My parents were so strict but I still found a way into rascality of my own bit, which I got the beatings of my life for anyway. I attended Muslim Teacher Training College, Oru where I met my good friend, Dele Odule, a frontline Nigerian actor who later influenced my decision to make a career out of acting as we did so much acting together in our school days. I had a very memorable childhood as a village boy. I remember in those days how I was always looking forward to our holidays so that I could get a chance to go to Lagos, which was a rare privilege then. When I came back from Lagos, it was always pleasing to write about Lagos and add some lies in my English Composition then in class when we were asked to write "How I spent my last holidays". Simply me DejiAdenuga is a very amiable gentle man. With me, what you see is what you get, nothing complicated. A good father, from the point of view of my children, a loving husband; according to my wife, and from my own point of view, a very humble and dignified man of integrity. |

| ‘Why I always Play Bad Roles' – Veteran Actress, Patience Ozokwor Reveals! Posted: 08 Mar 2014 06:06 AM PST  Movie lovers call her Margaret Thatcher of Nollywood, but she is so tender and kind-hearted when she is not on set. Patience Ozokwor, aka Mama G, in a new interview with Yes magazine, explained why she usually plays wicked, evil woman roles. Why do you always take up the role of a bad woman in movies?People should admit that I have something to play! People are known for stunts, romance, bad boys and girls, gigolo and so on, but I have that as my strong point. It was when I was coming up that I thought I might get hurt or be hated for playing those roles but I never knew it was going to even make me popular and loved. The roles I play most times are very vibrant and make people want to watch all my movies; even if I play the role of a good woman now my fans will start complaining, you understand? And if your fans start complaining that they don't want you in a particular role, it makes the producers want to give me those bad woman roles the more. I don't ask for it, they just give it to me and if the script I get has something new and my fans are anxious of what the role is going to be like, I can make it different from what I used to do. It is not easy to play bad roles at all times. Ask any artiste around you and they will tell you it's not easy to cry and shout on set at the same time when it isn't your normal self. It is not an easy task at all. TOP STORIES |
| [MUST READ] How Nigeria’s Poor Make the Rich Richer!! Posted: 08 Mar 2014 05:06 AM PST  As early as 7am on any day, Abdullahi Shuwa, pushes out the cart he uses to supply water around a neighbourhood in Ikeja, Lagos. The 24-year-old man pushes the cart with 10 empty 25-litre kegs to a borehole where the landlord of the house allows him to fill them at N10 each. Shuwa is a native of Niger State but speaks Yoruba fluently. "I came to Lagos a long time ago. I got married here," he told Saturday PUNCH. If one is to consider the enthusiasm with which Shuwa carries out his daily routine of pushing his heavily-laden cart around the neighbourhood in search of customers, one may conclude that he makes a lot of money from the business. But it is not so. "The problem with this area is that most people have boreholes in their houses and don't need our services. But the houses that patronise us are too few for all of us who supply water in this area to make much money," the cart pusher said. Shuwa said there were eight other water suppliers patronising the same streets as he did. He buys the water at N100 (10 kegs at N10 each) and sells each load for N200 (each keg at N20). When asked where he lived and if he could afford accommodation with what he makes every day, Shuwa told Saturday PUNCH, "I live with some of my colleagues (also Northerners) in a room in Ogba. We try to contribute money at the end of every week, which we save for our rent. "We are five in the room and we contribute N200 every week so that we will be able to save enough money for the rent at the end of the year." Asked how he accommodates his family as a married man, Shuwa said for the sake of convenience, he had relocated his wife, whom is yet to have a child, to Abeokuta, Ogun State. The most surprising thing about Shuwa is that even though he is a struggling young man who makes little from doing a very strenuous business, he is an ardent fan of Chelsea FC and never misses the club's matches. "They call me Aboki Chelsea on my street and I love the name. Many of my friends (Northerners) don't watch football but I will rather not eat than not watch Chelsea play. I pay to watch club matches like two or three times a week," he said. He added that he paid about N100 per match at viewing centres, which is a sizeable fraction of the profit he gets from his water supply business everyday. But he pays as much as N200 on days when major matches are shown. It will be difficult to explain to Shuwa that part of the money he pays out of his meager income invariably finds its way into the pocket of the millionaire footballers he watches all the time. How can he understand that though he remains poor and cannot afford a decent apartment, his 'Widow's Mite' and that of many other people like him, make it possible for Chelsea to pay Mikel Obi, a fellow Nigerian, $440,000 (about N68m) a month. Shuwa said he could not afford to go to a hospital when he was ill but tried to buy drugs when he could. The only leisure he can afford is a pack of cigarette he occasionally smokes and the club football he ardently follows. The life of Shuwa is a world apart from that of his fellow Nigerian, Obi, whom he is unknowingly making richer. This cart pusher is not the only one on this pedestal. Samson Oyeleke, 25, has never considered staying home on weekends when European league matches are played, particularly, the English Premier League. At such times, Oyeleke's home tentatively shifts to his favourite football viewing centre at Agege. Depending on the fixtures, up to five matches can be shown live at the centre and Oyeleke never likes to miss any live match. So he pays N70 for each game, which is often jerked up to N100 when two big teams face each other. According to Oyeleke, the atmosphere of viewing football matches at the centre he often calls 'stadium' is great. Although Oyeleke's habit has been difficult to sustain, considering his income, yet he has remained stuck with it. Oyeleke, a Chelsea FC fan, has no fixed job; his small income comes from assisting his parents, both of whom are vendors. On days when business is good, Oyeleke can make up to N500. On other days, however, particularly when there is rainfall, he hardly makes any money. Oyeleke said that on such days, his parents don't require his service since business was usually 'slow'. Still, Oyeleke insisted that he had managed to sustain his habit of not missing important premier league matches in spite of the economic challenges. He said, "There are some people who don't even have any work, but they pay to watch the foreign leagues. Sometimes, I watch up to five matches on a Saturday, but the cost doesn't really matter because it helps me too. "There is no money, no work due to the unemployment situation in the country. So football gives me something to look forward to and a reason to leave home. When I'm hungry and I'm watching football, I won't feel the hunger until after the match. When I'm at home, I tend to quarrel with my parents, but by going out to watch football, it saves all of us the troubles. If not for football, maybe a lot of youths will be depressed today, but somehow, football keeps us sane." But that's not the only attraction, these days, many football lovers have also taken to organised betting on the outcomes of European league fixtures. An unemployed youth, Segun Olawale, said he watched football to keep up with the performances of club sides in order to make informed predictions. Olawale is trained as a carpenter, but he has yet to set up due to financial challenges. So far, Olawale has been living on dole-outs from friends and relatives. But in addition, Olawale said he recently started betting on the outcome of matches at a registered betting company. He said, "Sometimes, I'm so broke that I can't even afford to watch matches, but the moment someone gives me some money, I don't hesitate to spend it on a football match. If I decide to stay at home, what will I be doing there? I prefer to go out and watch football. It's lively, and you are able to talk to people, argue and even stand a chance to win some money if your predictions are right." Isiaka Mohammed is a cobbler who earns about N1,000 day, but he doesn't work each time his favourite team, Arsenal FC, has a game. Mohammed said he had not missed an Arsenal FC game in over two years and that his wife and child were already familiar with his schedule. Although, Mohammed knows about the huge financial worth of some of his football heroes, he said it made no difference to him that he was making them richer. He said, "My family knows where I will be every Saturday and understands it. I know that the footballers earn thousands of dollars per week, but it really doesn't matter once I get my satisfaction too. When they don't play well, I curse them, but I don't really care if I'm able to get value for my money. "When I was in Bauchi, I also used to play for a club, Black Rose. So If I had made it from football, this is how some people would also be watching me today. So it doesn't matter, that is life." According to Mohammed, if he is left with his last N50 note and has to choose between watching his favourite Arsenal FC and buying biscuits for his hungry daughter, his hungry daughter will win the contest, but barely. "Well, I will give the money to my daughter but I will be very reluctant," he said. Some football fans can barely afford three square meals per day, but will still go as far as paying N1,000 to purchase club jerseys. John Ibiloye, sits in his tiny shop on a street in Agege, nodding his head rhythmically to the music playing on a small CD player beside his work table. The watch repairer's daily routine is basically opening his shop, putting on the CD and waiting for the occasional customers who may come in to change a dead watch battery, repair a ramshackle wall clock or change the strap on a wrist watch. "I'll change one watch battery for N100 or N150 depending on the quality of battery you want. Some last longer than others, which is why the price is different," he told Saturday PUNCH. On the profitability of his business, Ibiloye said some days, he doesn't get a customer at all. He said watch repair is not the kind of business one expects customers to troop in everyday, "But how do you cope? How do you take care of the family with this kind of business," one of our correspondents asked him. Ibiloye replied, "Well, God is in control. But it is not easy at all. I have three children and two of them go to school. The third one is a tailoring apprentice. "I get up to five customers sometimes coming for services ranging from repair and changing of watch straps and battery. Sometimes I make N500, sometimes N1,000. You can imagine how much I am left with if I have to deduct the rent, the council dues and others. "The day my daughter fell sick and I took her to the General Hospital at Ifako Ijaiye was the day I told my wife she needed to start working too. She is now a petty trader. That was the day I realised that the profit of my business was not enough for us to feed, let alone take my children to the hospital when they are ill. "If I change your watch battery and you pay N200, I'll make N100 from that. It is not because I am greedy but because I need to cover the loss I incur sometimes. There are times that the batteries expire after long storage at home. If I insert the battery in your wrist watch and it doesn't work, I'll change it and that's my loss." Ibiloye said when he deducts cost of repairs, there are days he makes up to N300 in profit but some days he does not make more than N150. However, as gloomy as the picture Ibiloye paints is, one thing he cannot do without is Fuji music. Music from popular Fuji musician, Wasiu Alabi, popularly called Pasuma, was playing on his CD player. "You love Pasuma obiviously." To this, he replied, "I like K1 (Wasiu Ayinde) and Pasuma very much. I don't think there is any of their records I don't buy. Listening to Fuji music is my way of 'killing depression." But Ibiloye in comparison to Pasuma is poor whom some refer to as the richest Fuji musician in Nigeria. Even though the singer's exact net worth is not known, he is rich enough to build a N150m-mansion in 2011; a result of his large and loyal fan base made up of mostly area boys and commercial bus drivers. He also owns numerous posh cars and other houses, thanks to loyal but poor fans like Ibiloye. Interestingly, however, many of these celebrities who become millionaires today were once individuals who could barely afford a square meal per day. Through a stroke of luck, they broke the yoke of poverty and have become affluent through hardwork rewarded by patronage of those at the bottom rung of the social ladder in the society. Mikel Obi was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth and neither was Pasuma. Bus conductors are also individuals who make millionaire musicians richer in spite of their own poverty. For another struggling Nigerian, a street trader, whom Saturday PUNCH spoke with, life will not be interesting without having a chance of watching movies. The young lady, Khadijat Ojikutu, said her addiction was Nollywood movies, especially those in the Yoruba language. When this correspondent first sighted her on Tuesday around a motor park in Ogba, Lagos, where she usually vends bread and butter, she was browsing a collection of Nollywood movie DVDs displayed on the cart of a CD vendor. "I usually buy Yoruba movies when I realise that my profit for the day is enough for me to buy the CDs," she said. Asked whom her favourite Nollywood movie star was, she said, Odunlade Adekola. "I also like Jim Iyke. I watch Nigerian English movies too once in a while," Ojikutu wearing a pair of worn-out slippers, said. A pyramid-shaped load of bread and plastics of Blue Band margarine covered with transparent nylon was balanced on the head of the young woman as she explained that what she was getting from her trade was not as much as the energy she expended on it. "You are funny. How often do I go to the hospital? What happens to herbs? You think everybody can afford to walk into the hospital for treatment every time they fall sick? How much do I make from this business?" she said when our correspondent asked if she doesn't fall sick often because of her stressful street trading business. She said she made as much as N400 in profit everyday, out of which she had to save for accommodation, clothing and feeding. Ironically, people like Ojikutu live in the slums of Agege while the millionaires whom her love for movies make richer, live in highbrow places like Lekki and Ikoyi. However, many experts have argued that the insecurity in the society cannot be divorced from the widening gulf between the rich and the poor in the society. This is why one cannot underestimate the impact the socio-economic disparity between the haves and have-nots will have on the stability of the country. The harsh economic reality in Nigeria is such that the middle class is gradually vanishing, some economists have argued. The gulf between the rich and the poor in the society is widening day-by-day, lending credence to the Biblical saying that the rich will become richer while the poor will become poorer. The reality is grim for many people in Nigeria. They see affluence flashing before their eyes everyday, but do not have the wherewithal to break out of their economic condition. In a city like Lagos, this is more evident as hardly can one stay on a major road for a minute and not see a multi-million naira worth of vehicle pass by. It is no longer news that a sizeable population of Nigeria lives in poverty. According to a 2006 United Nations Human Development Index, 70.8 per cent of Nigeria's population lives on less than $1 (N150) per day, ranking Nigeria 159 out of 177 countries. The National Bureau of Statistics, in 2010, said that 60.9 per cent of Nigerians were living in "absolute poverty". Most of these people, ironically, are the ones who enrich the millionaires like footballers, musicians and movie stars. A sociologist and consumer behaviour analyst, Monday Ashibogwu, said the poor have always made the rich richer by their habits. He said, "Paying for football games, buying records, cigarettes, beer, playing draughts are some of the ways by which the poor make the rich richer. In the case of football, the players cannot even be classified as the rich, they are just the celebrities. The rich are the club owners who pay salaries to the footballers. Also for records, the record labels are the ones making all the money." Ashibogwu described claims by the poor to be deriving some sort of satisfaction from habits that affect their income as a case of "perception rather than the reality." "The question is: Is it what they really need? You can't blame the capitalist for being a capitalist, but there must be rules that guide people," he said TOP STORIES |

The Fuji Legend gave away two daughters in marriage in one week. However, His 3rd daughter, Sekinat will wed this Sunday, 9th March. We brought you photos from his first daughter's wedding (Click HERE If you Missed it.) . Amina didn't stop beaming with smiles as she married her longtime Boyfriend, Waheed Akanni who is an auto merchant. On how he's giving out all his daughters at once, Kwam 1 said "The truth is I didn't insist on the 3 of them getting married at the same time. It was one of them who wanted to do her marriage. She happened to be the junior one and in the Yoruba tradition, it's always good to have the older one take the lead while others follow. So, I asked them and they said they were ready and were only waiting. So, I asked them "what are you waiting for?" They were probably waiting for who will do it first. That was how they all decided to do it about the same time, but on different days."    TOP STORIES |

| Why I always Sing About The Story Of My Life, Olamide Finally Opens Up About his Life Posted: 08 Mar 2014 04:59 AM PST  SEGUN ADEBAYO recently caught up with Olamide where he opened up on his career and how he plans to remain relevant. WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OLAMIDE? A lot of good things have been happening to me and my crew. I have been doing what I love doing and I am getting paid for it. That ordinarily comes with a good feeling, I can't deny that. I have a lot of things that I am working on right now and we are working day and night to meet up with the demands of the industry. Which is staying on top of your game while you can, having in mind that the phase will soon pass. You have to make sure that you make your stay worth the while. IS THIS WHY YOU HAVE FEATURED IN DIFFERENT SINGLES MORE THAN ANY OTHER ARTISTE LATELY AND WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE WITH THIS? You know people are very funny. When I was not featuring in other people's albums or singles, they were the ones saying on twitter and other social media platforms that Olamide is proud, he's not friendly and all sorts of things that you can't imagine. But now that I have been working with a whole lot of artistes in the industry, they have come out to say I should give myself a break. I wonder what the people really want? The truth is that you can't live your life for the people. You have to do what you feel is right for you to keep your career on the right track. SO, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU ANYMORE? I didn't mean it like that. What I am trying to say is that if you continue to listen to what people say every time before making your decision, you may not make the right decision at the end of the day and you may also make the right decision. What is important is your attitude to what you do. It does not mean you won't listen to them or take to their pieces of advice, you just have to be truthful to yourself and make sure you are doing what you believe is in the best interest of your career. I just want to remain on top of my game. I know I have what it takes to run the show for as long as God permits me. But time will tell. I am growing by the day and I am enjoying every bit of my moment in the industry. YOU ONCE SAID THAT YOUR HUSTLING DAYS ARE OVER, BUT YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE SLOWING DOWN. YOU ARE ALWAYS AT EVERY MAJOR SHOW AROUND TOWN… I am an ambitious young man. I love to always push myself to the limits. We have a lot of things going on in the industry now that would really make you sit tight and buckle up. Asides that, I have gone through a lot before I could arrive at this level, to God be the glory. When I look at where I was coming from and where I am today, it only reminds me of one thing, never stop dreaming big and don't ever look down on yourself even if nobody believes in you. You have to make sure you have got what it takes to stand the test of time. Olamide didn't just arrive over night. It has been a very rough journey, but God has been good to me. The truth is that people have not seen the best of Olamide. YOU SAID ONE SHOULD NOT LOOK DOWN ON HIS OR HER SELF; IT SEEMS YOU HAVE A LOT BENEATH THAT SENTENCE. COULD YOU SHARE SOME OF THOSE ROUGH EXPERIENCES WITH US? Everybody knows my story or let me say I try to let people know my story with the way I sing so that you won't come and tell me tomorrow or the people that you did or that for me when I was this or that. When I compose my songs, I always try to bring my rough days into retrospect. I remember how I waited many years for my single to be promoted. I was always told to wait. When I couldn't wait anymore, I had to look for another way round it. A lot of people turned me down because they didn't believe in me. I have nothing against them because that's life for you. Everybody can't believe in your dream, even if it is the most beautiful one. Today, it is practically difficult for anybody to come out and say what I had already said about myself in most of my songs. WHY DID YOU SAY THAT? You know people are funny. I am sure you are aware of how some people could wake up one day and start saying what is not true about your life. So, in order not to be shocked when you hear or see something like that, you have to prepare your mind and that of your fans. I always sing about the story of my life in my songs so that if you say something about it tomorrow, the people would tell you that they heard me say it before. NOW THAT YOUR DREAM HAS BEEN FULFILLED AND YOU CAN ALSO STAND ON YOUR OWN, WHAT'S THE FEELING LIKE? I feel great. I feel honoured. I feel so happy. But above all, I thank God, to whom I give all glory. ARE YOU SURPRISED TO HAVE ARRIVED AT THIS LEVEL? To an extent, my rise came as a shock but at the same time, my only wish since I was young was to rise above my peers and make a name for myself in whatever good I find myself doing. I strived hard to come out with something everybody would appreciate, plus the recognition that has marked my career. I will say my rise to stardom has not been a fluke. I have worked tirelessly over the years trying to break into the industry and studying the rules of the game so as to become relevant. You don't want to know how I waited and prayed to taste fame. HOW HAS MUSIC CHANGED YOUR LIFE? Let me say that music took me away from wandering about the streets to doing the right thing at the right time. It has reshaped my life and taught me that hard work, talent and God's grace are very important in every man's life. I can say it boldly that those who never believed in me can now see that I carry a special grace. That is why I will remain grateful to ID Cabassa. He was one of the good people God used to turn my life around. I won't say more than that because I know you would want to probe me further. NOW THAT MUSIC HAS TAKEN YOU AWAY FROM THE STREETS, WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST ABOUT IT? I really didn't miss anything except for the life on the streets. I never wanted to remain on the streets. I have learnt a lot of lessons my brother, but one thing that readily comes to my mind each time I remember where I was coming from is the fact that the secret of success goes beyond making good music. Every right-thinking artiste must possess a good character to sustain the success that comes his way. You must have the character that could help you sustain the test of time. Trust me; rising to stardom comes with a lot of challenges, but you can only overcome them when you have a good sense of understanding about life itself. Source: tribune TOP STORIES |
