At this point in time, it has become necessary to ask the question of why celebrated music personalities, D’Banj, and Don Jazzy, are still single and childless. In the world we live in nowadays, many people are single parents and many more are married parents. In a nutshell, it’s very difficult nowadays to see people who have come of age, especially those of D’Banj’s and Jazzy’s affluent status, who are single and childless at the same time. In Nigeria particularly, of which the duo are proud indigenes, marriage, and children (which are even held in more esteem than money) come with the success these two have attained. And all around them, their colleagues and family members who are not as successful as them are getting married and having children. D’Banj’s younger brother, Kayswitch, whom is also a music artist like him, already has a child. Wande Coal, the popular singer that found fame and fortune courtesy of the duo in question, has at least one child. Tiwa Savage, who is signed t...

Following the unexpected negative reactions that have trailed her traditional introduction ceremony to Oladunni Obasanjo Churchill, fiery actress, Tonto Dike, has reacted with a message that is her usual self: blunt and bold. According to her post: “Always be careful of what you hear about a woman. Rumours either come from a man that can’t have her or a woman who can’t compete with her.” But she didn’t rest her pen with that. She continued thus: “Watch who you are talking to. Be mindful of who you are letting into your life. If you ever sit down with someone to talk and they are belittling and bitching about people they used to be close to or never close to … chatting sh*t or telling truths that you don’t need to know … generally hating and gossip talking about whoever … don’t tell these people anything about you. “Recognize that they will do same to you when you aren’t flavour of the month anymore. Some people will try to use you. When you can’t be used/used anymore, the selfish and d...

Last Saturday, it was time for the 14 contestants of Project Fame West Africa 8 to showcase the result of their weeklong tutelage in the Project Fame Academy, and they did impress the judges with their performances. Three wild card finalists, Ruby Awa-Agwu (Pearl’s twin sister), Oluchi Odii, and Nkechi Ilo, kicked off the show with their performances that they hoped would earn them entry into the Academy to compete for the millions of naira and automobiles that will be given to the final top three PF winners. And after their performances, Nkechi's performance could not earn her a stay in the Academy, but Ruby and Oluchi so much wowed the judges that both were given a chance to compete with those already in the Academy. Then, the judges and the audience enjoyed the initial fourteen contestants’ performances without finding faults with or exposing their loopholes because it was their first performance each and no one would be placed on probation. But on Sunday, the game changed from...

This is not a good time for high flying music artist, Davido. The singer, who has been trailed by criticism all of his career with some quarters still insisting that his success is a fluke, has given his critics reason to flay him again. That reason is that he has postponed his sophomore album’s release again, and his critics are now saying that he’s scared of releasing the album because he’s not sure if it will do well. The album, titled BADDEST, was supposed to be released earlier this year in June, but Davido claimed he had to postpone it because of the fuel crisis the country was going through then. Then this week that it was supposed to be released on August 10th, it’s been postponed again and Davido is now being seen in many quarters as being unserious. Speaking on why he had to postpone BADDEST’s release for the second time, Davido said, ‘The official release date for the much-anticipated album from the renowned award-winning afro-beat superstar, Davido, will now be in Septembe...

For a long time now, there’s been a debate over whom the first black man to ever act the role of the iconic British spy character, James Bond, will be. Respected names like the Americans Idris Elba and Sean Combs have been mooted as likely first black James Bonds. And even as that debate rages on, Nigeria’s very own David Oyelowo, an actor who is rising steadily and is based in Los Angeles, has landed the role. But before you get too carried away, Oyelowo won’t be playing Bond on the silver screen. His voice will just be used as Bond’s own in an audio book, and he’ll be the second black man’s whose voice will be so used, Hugh Quarshie being the first.. But it’s still a worthy feather to his cap as anything to do with Bond is a major achievement worldwide. Congrats, Dave.
