In what appears to be a chaotic rollercoaster of a year, Seyi Vibez’s 2023 seems more like a smoke-and-mirrors act than a genuine rise to fame. After rounding off 2022 with the deluxe version of ‘Billion Dollar Baby,’ Seyi Vibez entered the new year with the ‘Memory Card’ EP, attempting to channel gritty street vibes.

But the surprise factor doesn’t end there. In an oddly speedy display of productivity, Seyi Vibez unleashed not one but two albums within a mere 20 days, coupled with impactful guest appearances. Now, as he attempts to conclude the year with a bang, Seyi Vibez drops yet another bombshell – the EP titled ‘NAHAMciaga,’ a self-indulgent celebration of a supposedly remarkable year.

Pulled from the memorable line in ‘Hushpuppi,’ Seyi Vibez claims to showcase a unique fusion of Yoruba roots with street vibes in this 5-track EP. However, as the EP unravels, it becomes a subject of undeniable scrutiny, facing stark criticism for occasional poor execution, especially in production and arrangement.

A recurring criticism of Seyi Vibez’s music centers on its alleged lack of musicality. Rooted in Yoruba indigenous music, White Garment Christian tunes, and his Islamic background, Seyi Vibez’s distinctive style often leans toward a form of recitation or chant, accompanied by Amapiano log drums. This prompts serious doubts about the longevity of his music, questioning if it’s just a momentary satisfaction for listeners.



The EP seemingly attempts to address these concerns, notably in the opening track ‘Different Pattern,’ where Seyi Vibez samples melodies from Yoruba Highlife legend Orlando Owoh. While this Highlife venture radiates sonic richness, it also reveals Seyi Vibez’s struggle to craft a melody suitable for an ‘Owambe’ party starter.

Although ‘NAHAMciaga’ supposedly showcases Seyi Vibez’s evolution and versatility, it doesn’t escape a barrage of flaws. The ‘Apala Interlude’ and ‘Shazam’ both suffer from execution mishaps, signaling a desperate need for fine-tuning in arrangement and attention to detail. Despite these glaring hiccups, the EP is portrayed as a reflection of Seyi Vibez’s artistic growth, attempting to offer listeners new music to savor.

In a year where street music took the helm in Nigeria’s music scene, Seyi Vibez emerges as a central figure. As Afrobeats continues to morph in 2024, Seyi Vibez’s talent and mainstream success are provocatively positioned as either a key player in the future of Street music or a fleeting spark within the genre. Controversies and flaws notwithstanding, Seyi Vibez continues to wield influence, leaving the audience to question the authenticity of his supposed ascent in the vibrant landscape of Afrobeats.”

Hi Opezi i just got an admission into Memorial University in Canada as well, can you please check your mail

opezi:
Good day everyone

My sister applied for a student visa in may 2021 as a high school student but she lost the admission because the visa was not granted by the schools resumption time so we all didnt stress over the application but kept checking for any updates since she was already in ss3 and doing her waec. After waec results were released in December we immediately applied into memorial university in Canada which she has gotten an admission into now but because she already had a previous visa application in progress we wanted to confirm the status of that application so that we'll know if we are to send an updated letter of acceptance or withdraw the old application and restart a new one as it has been almost a year with no response.

So we request for a GCMS note which was received today just for it to show that she has been granted visa since October first 2021 with no mail received. We are confused on the next step to take now. All advice given will be appreciated.

NB: No agent was used throughout this application process... it was all done ourselves.

Cash Nation Entertainment record label act, Barry Jhay has introduced a groovy single entitled, “Ayewada“.

The new song was lifted after moving on from his last tribute song “Rest on Kashy” to late Boss.

In Nigeria, football betting has a long history that can be traced to colonial times, when pool betting was popular, especially among older adults. Since then, more younger people have taken up betting on the results of football matches, including European league football.



The country has many betting outlets where people can place a bet manually. They can also open an account online with a betting company, using a debit card, and place bets on the website or app.

A report revealed that about 60 million Nigerians between the ages of 18 and 40 are involved in active sport betting. They spend almost ₦2 billion on sports betting daily. This translates to about ₦730 billion annually. In an economy where the 2020 national budget is almost ₦11 trillion, this is huge.

Two factors are responsible for increasing football betting among youth in Nigeria. One is the increase in poverty and unemployment. Among Nigeria’s estimated population of around 200 million, around 87 million are said to be extremely poor. The youth unemployment rate in 2018 was put at 36.5%.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 29.7% of youths between the ages of 15 and 34 were unemployed at the third quarter of 2018. Betting may appear to be a way to make quick money, either as a betting operator or as a gambler.

The second factor driving and enabling football betting in Nigeria is the growing use of the internet and smart mobile phones. In 2017, 84% of Nigerians had mobile phones. The number of internet users in Nigeria is 122 million based on figures from the Nigerian Communication Commission. This is more than half of Nigeria’s estimated population. The increase in internet users in Nigeria can be attributed to affordability of internet access; with less than ₦100 (less than US$1), internet connectivity is assured. It is easy and convenient for people to place bets online using their phones.

I was interested in the potential consequences of this situation for Nigerian society and particularly for young people. I wanted to know whether the ease of online betting for economically hard-pressed young Nigerians was creating any social problems such as conflict, crime and addictive behaviour.

For my study, I collected data from in-depth interviews with fans of European football clubs, betters, parents and guardians of fans and betters, security personnel, owners and operators of betting outlets as well as football viewing centres in Lagos, Ibadan, Oyo State, south west Nigeria and Yola, Adamawa State, north east Nigeria. In addition, I observed betting activities and collected data from recent online news reports and other published works.

From the various interviews conducted and my observation, I found there was a link between football betting by young Nigerians and a perceived increase in violence and criminal activities. But in my view the answer is not to ban such betting but to address the unemployment and poverty which propel people into it.

Behaviour around betting

My interviews and observations in the field show that there is a concern about teenagers stealing to fund their football betting. I was in a security meeting in Adamawa State where parents complained to the police that they had noticed unprecedented theft of their money by their teenage children/wards to fund football betting. A parent interviewed in Adamawa State explained that:

I noticed that money was getting lost in our house on daily basis. At first I thought it was mere misplacement. Later I started to hear from my neighbours also complaining of loss of money within their homes. We later got to know that our sons were the ones stealing the money to play football betting because we always see them with receipts of bet and we know that they do not have business from where they can get money for betting.

Interactions with these teenage betters show that they spend between ₦1,000 (about $2) and ₦3,000 (about $7) on betting daily. But the jackpot rarely comes. At football viewing centres, customers are routinely warned about fighting. One operator of a viewing centre in Yola told me:

In recent times, we have witnessed outbreaks of violence among our viewers. Some of these fights are over unresolved longstanding issues. Sometimes, it is as a result of anger sustained from major loss in football betting.

Football betting may also sometimes promote ritualism, especially the use of “good luck charms”. I spoke to one gambler who said:

You cannot just go and put a huge amount of money into betting without any form of spiritual enhancement that will guarantee and insure you. If you do that without spiritual enhancement, you will just continually give your money to bet companies with their managers and staff to feed fat on while you continue to stay broke. Even bet company operators use spiritual power to ensure that their clients do not win…

There have been calls from moralists, especially in religious circles, for the government to criminalise betting, especially football betting. I witnessed two such discussions during an Islamic preaching in Yola, Adamawa State. In fact, one state has been urged to take the first step. I believe this is unlikely to be effective. It would only push betting into the background and make it more difficult for the government to regulate and control it. Government should instead pay more attention to widespread poverty and unemployment.

The commissioner said one of the suspects is a Nigerian who travelled to France eight days ago and arrived Nigeria fours days later, adding that the suspect was subjected to medical check after developing a headache and respiratory problems. Abayomi gave the case of other two suspects as travellers from England and China who were quarantined after arriving in Nigeria as a measure towards curbing the spread of the disease.

Ijebuloaded.com notes that since its outbreak in China, coronavirus has been responsible for thousands of death with over 90,000 people across over 71 countries already put on the red line of the infection.

The first case of the epidemic was recorded in Nigeria after in Italian arrived Lagos with the virus.

In a statement released by the Ministry of Health on Thursday, February 27, the Italian national, who worked as a consultant at Lafarge Africa PLC, returned from Milan to Lagos and was confirmed to be a carrier of the deadly disease.

People who had contact with the Italian were afterwards quarantined as part of measures to put the spread under control. As at now, only one case of coronavirus has been detected in Nigeria and there is no death causality as a result of the life-threatening disease.

Meanwhile, Ijebuloaded.com had reported that Lauretta Onochie, an aide to President Muhammadu Buhari on social media, says the government refused to disclose the identity Italian man who tested positive to coronavirus in Nigeria due to privacy reason.

Onochie stated this through a post on her account on a micro-blogging platform Twitter on Saturday, March 7, in response to an early inquiry made by for minister of aviation and top Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Fani Kayode.

Akin Abayomi, the Commissioner for Health, who said this on Thursday, noted that the suspected patients are under isolation at the containment facility in Yaba, Lagos.

"Their samples have been taken and results are being expected," he said. "The suspected patients came to Nigeria from France, England and China."

The first case of coronavirus index was confirmed in Nigeria last week, when an Italian national tested positive to the infection.

Since its outbreak, the Nigerian government has been making efforts to curtail the possible spread of the virus as most people that had contact with the affected patient were identified and quarantined.

The Lagos government completed an isolation facility in readiness for the treatment of the virus, in case more cases were recorded.

On reported how three foreign nationals, who were suspected to have COVID-19, tested negative between three days in Lagos. More people tested in Abuja have also tested negative to the disease.

Meanwhile, the commissioner said one of the suspected patients is a Nigerian who visited France for seven days and returned to Lagos days ago.

Mr Abayomi said the patient had headache and respiratory symptoms.

"So, because he had been to a country where there is an active person to person transmission, it could be a common cold, but there is a possibly that it could be coronavirus.

"We are not taking chances, there is active transmission going on in France and we have isolated him," the commissioner said.

He said the patients are being tested and test results awaited.

You would have been under a stone not to perceive or realize Mavin Records new endorser "Rema" and YBNL Mafia act "Fireboy" as the potential next big thing to hit Nigerian music industry.



Rema who got found on instagram and got signed by Don Jazzy/D'Prince into Mavin records was authoritatively divulged with an EP which included tunes, for example, Iron Man, Dumebi, Why and Corny



Generally known by the tune Dumebi – Rema became talk of the industry – with many considering him to be an ideal swap for Wizkid – Whatt

Just before Rema there was the arrival of YBNL Mafia Family record which included DJ Enimoney, Limerick, Temmie Ovwasa, Picazo, FireBoy, Yomi Blaze as the primary demonstrations of the collection – Magically, Fireboy discovered away to rule the collection with a few dope melodies.

Fireboy's Most outstandingly melody was his performance jam Jealous that has to some degree become a song of devotion which won the hearts of numerous who has tipped him to be the next big thing.

For his debut album “Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps”, Fireboy DML delivers a mixture of emotions – a lover boy capable of getting you in your feelings and as well as bringing the heat.



Fireboy has been winning hearts and charts ever since breaking onto the music scene with his hit single “Jealous”.

Not relenting from the success of “Jealous”, the 23-year old YBNL signee is a proven songwriter with releases of good music such as “What If I Say” and “King”. This is not surprising considering that the youngster is being mentored by Olamide one of the best and most prolific in the industry.



For a first studio album, Fireboy is daring as “Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps” comes with no guest features. This is a break from the norm that sees new artists tending to overkill their first major projects with guest appearances.

These two guys are hot, it’s a remarkable thing when youngsters are already recording smash hits at their very first entry into the industry.

But then, we’ve got to choose one�

We earlier reported that Nigerian singer, Augustine Kelechi, better known by his stage name, Tekno issued an apology for a viral video of him conveying some exotic dancers while shooting a music video in a transparent truck.

The singer in his apology had said that they had to convey the exotic dancers in the transparent truck because other vehicles were spoilt and they had to change locations for the music video shoot.

In an update, the singer has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for a breach of public decency. It is gathered that he was arrested today and he is undergoing questioning at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba.

Tekno had some time last week conveyed half-naked girls, who were dancing seductively, in a transparent glass box on a truck around the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge. In the truck, the musician was seen spraying the scantily dressed girls with money as they danced.
After some other road users filmed the act and the videos emerged on social media, there was public outcry and calls for the state government to act.
Confirming the arrest, the state Police Spokesman, Bala Elkana, a deputy superintendent of police, said he was invited for questioning. He said:

“The command has arrested Tekno and the two girls for conveying half-naked girls at the Lekki area of Lagos. He is presently undergoing questioning at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti.”

The police said such acts of public indecency is against the criminal code and if after investigation those involved are found guilty, they would be charged to court.
Already, the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency has suspended the advertising firm, Pro-Vision Media Systems Limited.

Davido might be a very controversial person, He always want to be in the news but truth be told, he’s one of the few Artistes in the Music industry who truly wants the young up-coming Artiste to grow.

Maybe he was touched by what happened to the poor boy LYTA under YBNL and how he was pushed off and decides to help him grow even more bigger.

Maybe he just wanted to help him because of his blind mum – Only God knows.

Davido initiated the move for the Remix with Lyta latest track Monalisa, he paid Millions for the video shoot and also paid for their trip to Senegal, May God continue to bless OBO

Is This A Good Move For Davido? Will This Cause Any Issue with OLAMIDE?

Davido & Olamide are close pals but sincerely speaking, beef might start brewing deep down. Olamide might start feeling some typa way, it’s a normal thing, we are all human. I know some of you would agree with me and some won’t – all join.

But Why Is Davido Doing All This?

Why is Davido befriending the people other Artistes are having issues with?

You all remember when Wizkid & Shoki Shitta was having issues? Davido made him a friend and even gave him some cash. I know he did that just to frustrate Wizkid.

Now, Lyta, is he also doing this to frustrate Olamide?

One of the most shocking NEWS you would read today is that of Oladips leaving reminisce’s record label LRR.

Oladips is one of the very few talented rappers we have in the industry. You would agree with me if I say we all him knew back then for his hot and crazy freestyles and creative rap styles.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23Uur9ThR_k

Over the weekend, he deleted all his pictures on Instagram and removed himself from everything associating him to his record label. Removes the LRR info in his bio and also on on his YouTube page.

The past few days have been a very tough one as Oladips took to the mic to talk about his whole saga with Reminisce and his controversial signing to LRR record label.

In his new single “Maybe“, he expressed his regret for signing to Reminisce’s label and how reminisce allegedly said he was not making money for the label. He claimed that his then boss made life hell for him in the label.

Well, who know if the label might be the real reason we’ve not gotten something reasonable from Oladips since his signing to the label.

Nigerian music industry is a misery yet to be unraveled. The closer you look, the lesser you see. False contracts everywhere.

However, we hope to see more positive news from Oladips as soon as possible.

Nigeria, on Monday night, lost 1-0 to hosts France in their last Group A game at the ongoing Women's World Cup.

The Super Falcons held on for 75 minutes, before conceding a penalty that Wendie Renard converted at the second time of asking.

Before the game, it was almost certain that Thomas Dennerby's ladies would finish third in the group, as Norway were going to face Korea Republic.

However, if they had gotten a point, the Falcons would have stood a bigger chance.

Nigeria's chances, which are now slim, depend on results from other groups.

But there are only three spaces left, as China has already taken one of the slots reserved for the best third-placed teams.

For the African champions to qualify for the Round of 16, Scotland need to beat Argentina. Or at least hold the South Americans to a draw.

New Zealand must also hold Cameroon or if either side wins, it must not be by more than three goals.

Thailand, who have conceded 17 times already, should not lose by more than three goals to Chile.

The Falcons might even need Jamaica to pull off a shock win over Australia in Group C.

Group games will be concluded by Thursday, June 20.
