JIMMY JATT’S BIGGEST REGRET

0

AS the 7th edition of Jimmy Jatt’s event tagged Jimmy’s Jump Off draws to a close, the veteran DJ has spoken on why the competition this year is tagged The Festival.

In a chat with HipTV, the celebrated DJ revealed that the reason the show, which comes up today, carries the theme is because it is different from the others that have been held in the past.

He said; “this year, we will be having 21 DJs and 30 artistes. We have to make it bigger because of the theme and make sure everything goes right, thus we will be having three DJs, at every hour.”

He also revealed that one of his regrets in life as a public figure was not wearing a mask.

“I regret not wearing mask from day one. I envy Lagbaja because he can do anything and get away with it,” Jatt added.

Recall that the DJ recently celebrated his silver jubilee in a grand style, at an event attended by some of Nigeria’s big names in the entertainment industry.

0

AS Chocolate City held its first press conference under the leadership of its new CEO, Jude Abaga, better known as MI, The Chairman has reeled out some of the conditions artistes must possess if they must get signed on to the record label.

According to Abaga, any artiste with the intent of working under the label must be hard working and should have been able to record close to 100 songs. The person, he said, must have about 10,000 followers.

He also stated that the artiste must have a home base, meaning that he or she must first be a star wherever they are residing.

“This is very important. Because there will be no need for you to say, ‘give me a chance’. They love fame, spotlight, and money. But that is the secret. You have to be a fan of music first, because the people you call mentors have a large knowledge of music,” the ‘short black boy’ stated.

Currently, the label has the likes of Jesse Jagz, Pryse, VK, Koker, DJ Lambo, and Ruby under its wings.

M.I is a Nigerian hip hop recording artist and the current CEO of Chocolate City Music. He has won several awards including the MTV Africa Music Awards 2009. He was nominated in the Best International Act category at the BET Awards 2010. He rose to prominence in 2006 when his song, Crowd Mentality, became popular in his hometown of Jos. On December 11, 2008, M.I released his critically acclaimed debut album, Talk about It.

Ali Baba turns D’Banj’s business manager?

Ali Baba

Comedian Alibaba and musician D’Banj have so much in common. Both are top dogs in their respective necks of the entertainment jungle. While Ali Baba is acclaimed to be the king of all comedians in Nigeria, D’Banj is fancied as the most successful musician in Africa. So, the question why one would want to work for the other, has a bit of dead rat stink to it.

But going by Ali Baba’s Instagram’s post this morning, Friday, July 17th one may want to be tempted by the thought that D’Banj has the comedian on his payroll. Why? Because Ali Baba has been going round, marketing D’Banj’s Koko products like the Koko gari as he made clear in his tweet:

“I am a strong Supporter of Nigerian Brands. How many politicians bought this Koko Garri to give their supporters? But they gave imported rice abi? When Otunba Ghadaffi started his mobile toilets, people called him “Agbe po!!!” It wasn’t for long, others joined DMT to do what he was laughed at. I know that a few think what’s DBanj thinking to invest in Garri. Newsflash!!!! I bet you all that is a $30b market. I have told him to start promoting it in hotels and restaurants. 

Wherever beans and moi-moi is served, there should be packs of Koko Garri as options to pap, dodo and yam. Trust me, you will see how it will grow. I think there should be a Garri soaking competition sef. The hamburger competitions we see on television don’t even have as much entertainment value… Round 1, Koko Garri and groundnuts, round 2, Koko Garri and coconut, round 3 Koko and Kilishi… Powered by Eva Water and Dangote sugar… Winner gets a Koko Garri distribution vehicle and a start up store!

“I play safe. All my friends in the industry have kids. It’s safer to keep your private life private. Right now, I like to put my relationship in private,” he added.

The artiste, who revealed that he got signed to Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) record label, at the age of 15, left the label in 2014 following the expiration of his four-year recording contract, and established his own record label, OHK music in May 2014.

How we were paid N2,500 to bomb Yola Barracks - 4 kids arrested in Adamawa Reveal

Four kids aged between 9 and 15 were part of the perpetrators of the bomb attack that rocked the city of Yola, the capital of Adamawa State on Thursday.Punch gathered that the bomb, which occurred on Thursday close to a mechanic workshop along Numan Road, was in possession of four children. The children told the police that an unknown man gave them N2, 500 to carry out the attack.

 

According to the kids, Boko Haram insurgents instructed them to drop an explosive bag at a specific place in Bachure suburb, near the Army Barracks mainly inhabited by retired military personnel.

Two of the boys who were later arrested by the police said the bag containing the explosive was too heavy for them to carry, so they had to sell it to a dustbin scavenger, whom they ran into at the nearby mechanic workshop. The dustbin scavenger who was also arrested with the children has been helping the police with more information.

A resident, Abraham Tunoh, also confirmed the claim saying the bomb which occurred on Thursday was in possession of four children.

Cool fm presenter, Freeze drags wife, Tope to court

City People is reporting that Freeze has dragged his pretty wife of 13 years, Tope to a Lagos Court asking for the dissolution of their marriage and his wife is not objecting to it.

Their stormy marriage broke down irretrievably about a year ago when after several fights, the once happy couple who have 2 kids, have been having a rough time with their marriage, with endless stories of fights and abuses and it was after one of their fights that his wife Opeoluwa Olarinde who works with an Oil service company moved out of their matrimonial home.

They got married on February 2002, after a 3 year courtship. They started dating in their University days. Before filing for divorce many friends and family members had stopped in all to no avail. Even their church Pastor, Paul Adefarati wadded in but he could not reconcile them.

Since  the news of their separation broke  over a year ago,  there have been speculations about what might have triggered such a move by the once respectable couple.

A while back, Freeze,  addressed the issue online, mentioning possible reasons behind their decision to opt out of the union. “I am a separated father of 2 , who has been separated for a long time, seeking dissolution of my marriage citing irreconcilable differences. I have realized that silence breeds lies and confusion’.

#NigeriaDecides: Aww, read Jimi Agbaje's emotional reaction to Ambode's win

Unlike Buhari who ran four times before eventually winning, Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Jimi Agbaje has declared his intention not to contest again for the position of governor in Lagos after the losing twice.

Agbaje who lost to All Progressives Congress (APC) Party candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode with a 152,206 vote margin spoke to ChannelsTV correspondent this evening after his opponent was declared winner.
According to the PDP candidate, Lagosians have made their choice and there’s no reason whatsoever to resort to violence.
“I tried once before, this is the second one. I’m not running again,” he said. “If I can’t be of service as governor, there are other ways of serving the state. I will find other ways of serving.”
Agbaje, 58, called Ambode some minutes before 6pm on Sunday evening to concede defeat to the APC candidate.

Comedian Princess goofs at event, Helen Paul saves the day

 

Helen Paul and Princess need no introduction as they have planted smiles on the faces of Nigerians through their comedy acts.

 

But it seems Princess is losing touch in her bid to make people laugh. At a recent comedy show in Lagos, Princess was certainly not in her elements as she failed to make her audience laugh. She was on stage for about seven minutes or more but was not able to crack the ribs of the crowd. Some of her jokes bothered on her broken marriage and other problems she has faced in life and this irritated her audience. People barely smiled let alone laugh at her ‘dry’ jokes.

Satuday Beats overheard an irritated guest saying, “I cannot believe I paid to come to listen to someone else’s problems. She is not even funny. If she were selling clothes, I am sure she would do better by now.”

Another bored guest who couldn’t hide her irritation said, “If Princess should just twerk (dance) on stage instead of cracking jokes, she would do better even though it would not be a wonderful sight for the eye based on her stature,” she said.

But just as Princess left, petite comedian, Helen Paul, climbed on the stage. The difference was very clear as she turned the hall around and cracked so many ribs with laughter.

Ironically, Helen spent less than five minutes on the stage, cracked just three jokes and managed to resurrect the already bored audience.

After her performance, a lady in the audience said, “Shebi this is another female comedian that has made us laugh. She did not even stay as long as Princess. Princess needs to improve herself.”
