Kanawat Entertainment CEO, Olomson is set to reply critics who are doubting the originality in his sounds with his new single titled "Gbamilori" which is scheduled for release next week. The record label boss who is set to carve a niche for himself intends to sell the song online rather than the usual free download.

Armed with Gbamilori, Olomson who describes his sounds as influenced by original artistes, is set to ignite the mainstream music industry with the groovy tune which will be released under his Kanawat Entertainment label. Speaking on his choice to put the song for sale, Olomson who is optimistic of the turnout believes his tune will prove to be money well spent, "with my considerable insight into the entertainment industry, I know I have what it takes to make good for myself through my music and I intend to maximize every opportunity available. Via this platform, I can reach out to a wider audience, build a different fan base while still making something for myself. My music insight is so innate, you can say music is in my DNA. Also for those asking, Kanawat means so many things as long as it's positive, interesting, considerate, patience, basically it is an embodiment of virtues, so as a Kanawatee, I am positive and productive in all I do. I promise Gbamilori will be inexpensive and groovy so please download, listen and feel the originality".

With several tracks recorded and others in the works, Olomson is determined to make himself a success story in the entertainment industry.

Rising producer and record label boss, Saidi Olomo Olawumi, popularly known as Olomson, is commending the activities of Nigerian entertainers for their energy and spirit which has been guiding them on their path to global conquest. The indigene of Ikare Akoko in Ondo state, who has a degree in English from the Adekunle Ajasin University, is the CEO of Kanawat Entertainment, a fresh out record label with a state of the art music studio.

Fifth born in a family of six boys and a girl, Olomson whose music origins can be traced back to his childhood only joined mainstream music in 2017 after completing a one year training in music production. Determined to make his imprint on the entertainment scene, Olomson, who describes his sounds as a confluence of all genres, applauded the progress the entertainment industry has witnessed over the years, citing entertainment as one field Nigerians have always excelled. "I can't say I have a particular role model but generally I love entertainers who put a lot of effort into their art, we have a lot of them across all genres including pop and even indigenous sounds like juju, all doing well. They have all contributed their quota to my sounds because I like to be original and every original artiste and original entertainer inspires me, regardless of status."

Reminiscing stories from his childhood till university days, Olomson who has been working towards dishing out acceptable tunes this year also discussed establishing an institute "music is in my DNA, I was told that, it began as a toddler when I fell very ill and was hospitalized for nearly 3 days. Then a man drove into the general hospital blaring Kollington's Lakukulala and instantly I sprang from the bed and began dancing, i got discharged that day. Moving onto my undergraduate years when pretty girls would sing along to my songs and big men commend them, i want that to happen now that I'm mainstream. I also want to establish a channel probably an institute that will assemble talents who will undergo special training. It could be free. Also a ministry of happiness won't be a bad idea." He added.

Having recorded several tracks including African woman and love me, Olomson is expected to release his latest jam titled "Gbamilori", which is projected to be a clubs favorite.

"I really want the JP brand to move on to the next level as fast as possible.

So right now, we need valuable hands on deck to make the project a successful one" were the words of the amiable CEO before opening the floor for suggestions and criticisms which prompted the comments of all in attendance, most prominent being events manager and entrepreneur, Honorable Adebayo, who shared stories of MC JP's humble beginnings before finally commending his success "I can remember shows we have hosted in the past, in churches and all kinds of structures, even with low turnout but now we are all proud of this elevation and I am proud to be associated with the Great JP brand"

Although no news has been officially released from Great JP's camp, there are insinuations of openness to partnering with industry bigwigs and sponsors to make the event a successful one. Already the likes of MC Ojemba, Honorable Adebayo and news reporter, Glory Johnson have already shown solidarity for the Delta state born Okorode.

Nigerian teen presenter, Ashley, is without doubt, in the leagues of Africa's youngest and brilliant minds. With an impressionable character and a lot of intelligent things to say, the pretty light skinned indigene of Imo state is gearing up to carve a niche for herself in the entertainment industry.

Born Ebiere Saint Jude, the 15 year old fresh undergraduate who was recently unveiled alongside few others by Great JP Entertainment as faces of their growing brand, has been in high spirits since her new found status.

I look forward to assisting people work towards their dreams because success comes from overcoming your fears"

Ashley, whose job description entails being an events host amidst other interesting roles also has high aspirations of becoming an international lawyer/ human rights activist.

Nigerian youths were recently urged to leverage on opportunities available for them and make something of themselves as solution providers early in life. This forms the thrust of the third Trek Africa Entrepreneurship Conference (TAEC) 2018, themed “Spirit of Enterprise” which held at the Expo Centre of Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) complex. The Chairman of the occasion and elder statesman, Chief Lanre Rasak, an astute business mogul, harped on the need for youths to grow in self reliance. According to Razak, government in other states of the country should provide take off grants to the tune of N5m to youths, like what is obtained in Lagos State through the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF) to aid entrepreneurial spirit. He noted that the chain reaction of this available funds will multiply and increase, giving room for others to benefit and grow economically able individuals in the society. “I admire the activities of young Nigerian entrepreneurs who have been revolutionizing their trade, their success inspires me to advocate for inclusion of vocation into the education system in the country. “I advise that government initiate an entrepreneurship course into the University curriculum to help integrate them into society so as to groom them ahead graduation, so employment won’t be an issue.” He charged unemployed youths to embrace entrepreneurship as the best option in the diversification of the economy.
The Guest Speaker, Mr. Adeniyi Adams, Managing Director, KnightStone Properties Limited, who delivered a lecture at the conference noted that poor employability status of the youth remain the problem, not unemployment. “The youths should take advantage of the situation, the challenge in Nigerian economy should rather be a drive for creativity not an obstruction. “There is no future for Nigeria except we introduce entrepreneurial education from our secondary school level; employability is the main problem with our youths, not unemployment.
The convener of the (TAEC) initiative, Mr. Oki Samson stated unequivocally that though various socio-economic indices points the negative, youths should maintain their stance of being self reliant while leveraging on big players information made available. “It is a fact that various economic indices like rate of inflation, unemployment rate, are pointing negative, but we cannot fold our arms and let situation be. “Yet, it is unrealistic to expect the government to provide jobs for every single youth in the country, thus, youths should priorities and learn skills that can take them out of poverty. “TAEC 2018 brings key players in the private sector, policy makers in government circles and experts in finance and economy together to spur enterprising youths and fashion out strategies that will enable the country extend the frontiers of enterprise development,” Samson said.
Winners of the Trek Africa Entrepreneurship Conference special recognition awards includes, Knightstone Properties limited as the Real Estate company of the year received by the MD/Ceo, Mr. Adeniyi Adams, Dr. Chima Anyaso, CEO Ceecon Energy Oil and Gas Ltd as the Male Entrepreneur personality of the year received by Mr. Victor Imeh, MD Eleganza Industrial City, Chief (Dr.) Sade Okoya as the Female Entrepreneur personality of the year, CEO of Image Booster, Debbie Larry-Izamoje, Founder/ CEO Lashed by Ojurire, Princess Toyin Ogunwusi as the Next Rated Entrepreneur and Balogun of Epe Land, Chief Lanre Rasak honoured with Lifetime good leadership achievement award.

Tosin Sanusi, Special Adviser of ECOWAS Youth Council on Education, Mr. Alaba Ayinuola (Ceo Sterling Bank Plc), Ifunaya Mitchell (USA) and Chichi all form team of panelists spurring participants creative and entrepreneurial competence.

The name Justice Okorode may not yet ring a bell to junkies on the Nigerian entertainment scene, but it is fast becoming a brand name to reckon with when it comes to events and talent promotion. An indigene of Delta state, the amiable Business and Marketing Administration graduate is the CEO of Great JP Entertainment, a fast rising media/ entertainment outfit, which over time has shown commitment to youth development and empowerment, especially via entertainment.

With roots and an unrivaled presence in Ifako/ Ijaiye local government area of Lagos, where the outfit has helped discover and promote over fifty youths since inception over five years ago, Great JP Entertainment now has major interests in Awards, Music, Dance, Comedy and Acting. Also with the fifth edition of Exploits with MC JP and Friends coming up soon, Great JP Entertainment's activities towards youth empowerment and development continues to enjoy positive reviews and commendations.

Justice, an HND holder and staunch advocate of entrepreneurship, especially among youths, intends working on the same platform with industry bigwigs including Alibaba, AY, Kenny Blaq and ChuksDGeneral soonest. He describes the activities of his outfit as "helping the youth showcase their God given talents through our various platforms for the world to see. Our goal is to help them become self reliant and also imbibe the culture of entrepreneurship in their daily life, most especially during this time of economic challenge". "Great JP Entertainment is all about youth, talent and showcasing. With the positive reviews we have been receiving from the general public and commendations from colleagues, we are now aware of our impact on the society and have begun process of joining the online community so this way, everyone can be a part of our projects. Although we are still in the early stages of going online, our social media handles are in place already" He added.

The highly anticipated third edition of "Generally Speaking" concert, which held on Sunday, 11th of March at the Transcorp Hilton hotel in Abuja was a delight to those in attendance. The event which quickly switched to a roll call of notable personalities in both the society and on the entertainment scene, proved to be worthy of its hype, from the beautifully decorated hall to the vibrant crowd, which primarily consisted of Elites.

Hosted by TV favorite, Richard Mofe Damijo and Instagram sensation, Lasisi Elenu, this edition of the high profile event which has been running for three years featured several prominent figures including Elefizzy, Funny Bone, Falz the bahd guy and popular comedian AY, to mention a few. The event was held partly in commemoration of the widely celebrated Mothers Day.

Sharing several beautifully captioned photos from the star studded event on his Instagram page, the brains behind the project, Chuks, who just clocked 30 last month, was apparently thankful to God for a blessed life. With a successful third edition of his comedy show, D' General has proven to be a force to reckon with and is expected to take the 'Generally Speaking" experience places. A brief roll call of special guests include, MI Abaga, Seyi Law, Ali Baba, Gordons, Acapella and a host of celebrity friends.

Here are pictures from the occasion.

Yesterday, cntroversial fast rising afropop star, Wutah Nelson took to social media to share details of his encounter with officers of the Nigeria police force, attached to the Agege axis.

Wutah, who had just left the Jumia office in Agege was unlucky to have been the victim of plainclothes policemen who swerved his direction in a Napep tricycle. "They showed me their ID card and I showed mine and they refused to accept I am an artiste, next thing you know they point out my dreads, tattoos and insisted I follow them to their station, which I did. At their station, they played my video and een downloaded my songs online but still, two hours later, I had to part with money for fuel. May God save the citizens, especially the youths from the Police who are supposed to protect us"

Wutah, who has been in a locked war with Kiss Daniel since last year over the alleged theft of the Fly Boi concept also revealed his experience with the "men in black" might probably inspire a new song.

In a bid to encourage wealth distribution and creating sustainable jobs for Africans, especially among Nigerian youths, the third edition of Trek Africa Entrepreneurship Conference and Exhibition has been scheduled to hold in Lagos tomorrow, Wednesday, the 7th of March, at the Lagos Chambers of Commerce & Industry Expo Center LCCI, Alausa,Ikeja, Lagos.

The SME conference which is tagged
"The spirit of Enterprise" will feature several prominent wave makers and emerging entrepreneurs, who will be gracing the occasion. Guest speakers for this year's edition of the conference include, Chief Mrs. Sade Okoya, MD Eleganza Industrial city; Dr. Chima Anyaso, the CEO of CeeCon energy gas and oil limited; Mr. Adeniyi Adams, CEO Knightstone Properties among others, all under the chairmanship of  Chief Lanre Rasak, the Balogun of Epe Kingdom

As part of the Trek mission to celebrating African icons, the Organisers of the conference plan to specially honour  Nollywood diva, Grace Ama with a befitting Cake during the event, a gesture to celebrate her birthday.

The Project Director of Trek Africa Entrepreneurship Conference and Exhibition, Mr. Oki Samson, who discussed briefly on the programme said "the event is aimed at creating sustainable jobs and wealth distribution while highlighting the role of entrepreneurs in National economy development.
A report from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) indicates that unemployment rose from 16.2 percent in the second quarter to 18.8 percent in the third quarter of 2017, then it goes beyond doubt that Nigeria is in a desperate situation which requires drastic action. Nigerians can no longer depend on the government or blue-chip companies to provide jobs for her teeming population of youths, she has to embrace investment in skills, entrepreneurship; SMEs, agriculture, innovation and ICT. Also inculcate the same into the youths of the nation which is a better option if we must diversify the national economy"

The project which is fast gaining traction among youths in Africa, has over seven hundred and twenty five registered guests. “Participants will be given Certificate of participation for the One-day enterprise conference and exhibition”, Oki added.

Saturday proved to be a glorious day for both organizers and participants of the 1 day Jamb Orientation/ seminar hosted by Versatile Academy, a new institution dedicated to academic excellence.

Enjoy the exciting excerpt.

Nairaland: Would you briefly discuss your background.
Oki: My Dad is from Ondo while my mum is from Sierra Leone, Third of four boys, all through my nursery years, I was homeschooled before attending Victoria island Primary School and Kuramo College in Victoria island, Lagos. It was there I discovered I had a flair for literary arts but didn't pursue a career because I felt the pay would be low but that didn't stop me from representing my schools excellently during debates and competitions. I eventually went on to study Accounting at the Lagos State University where I discovered my passion for politics.

Nairaland: Can you describe how your journey into media began?
Oki: Asides my flair for arts, I also took keen interest in photography, especially in my university days, i was always taking pictures, as time passed, I underwent several programmes and trainings in Photography and Video editing, some were even sponsored by outsiders who admired my interest. I launched Mckinggs media productions back in 2011 at my church, it was broadcast on national TV. Beginning as a team of 3, We were initially into visual production, photography, talent development, events and magazine but when every aspect except TV production flourished, basically because we couldn't meet the demands of 13 episodes, we continued with our Trek Magazine and skills acquisition training projects; like the Creative Entrepreneurship Opportunities (CEOs) which began with 30 participants. I must also add that Like minded hands helped in building the Mckinggs' brand and willing clients still engage us and give us referrals from time to time. I was also, a Freelance writer for New Telegraph Newspaper.

Nairaland: Would you mind discussing memorable projects and Ongoing ones.
Oki: Mckinggs has handled several projects but the most memorable ones include covering the Federal government Amnesty Project under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012, being a Volunteer/ grassroots campaign mobilizer for the Buhari-Osinbajo and Ambode campaigns and also co-organizing mega concerts for churches and youths. Others are mainly celebrities, politicians, NGOs and personalities. But for some years now, we have been running our Trek Africa Entrepreneurship Conference which engages unemployed youths with skill empowerment schemes, turning them into employers of labour thereby creating wealth distribution in the economy. Also the Trek Africa Awards that bring together eminent personalities and leaders across Africa has been on for four years and currently I'm working on a book project alongside a few like minded youths.

Nairaland: Who would you describe as your major influence?
Oki: In the media world, Babajide Kolade Otitoju is an evergreen inspiration while I'm inspired by the leadership qualities of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Growing up, his presence was always felt across Lagos. I would love to engage the Jagaban in an interactive session. Both men have managed to stay relevant over the years.

Nairaland: Which events would you describe as the turning points in your career?
Oki: My happiest moment was when I got the federal government Amnesty project, I didn't even negotiate and I got a bigger cheque than expected, considering I was just starting up. My saddest was when I lost my dad, it was surreal because he was just middle aged and a very caring father, my embarrassing moment is a recurring one, because of my busy schedule and my single status, friends keep matchmaking me with blind dates.

Nairaland: What brought about your interest in youth development and advocacy, as your programmes are mostly youth oriented?
Oki: Ideas rule the world and our youth are filled with ideas and leadership traits. We all can see our youth excelling in various fields including sports, banking, ICT and entertainment, the difference between them and the millions of unemployed graduates is the exposure and the ability to maximise their potential. Which is what we are trying to do with our activities. Also I have always been an admirer of talent and I believe given the proper platform, a lot of talent can be maximised in Nigeria. The Bible teaches us to trade with our talents, now you see companies and brands using youths who have harnessed their potential as brand ambassadors. Besides let's face it, the government and blue-chip companies can't completely help us, we have to help ourselves and each other too, which is why I'm an advocate for skills acquisition and entrepreneurship which is a better option if we must diversify the National economy. The youths are in a better position to restore the economy of the nation.

Nairaland: To what would you ascribe your success story?
Oki: First and most importantly, i give all glory be to almighty God for his continuous inspiration. I would like to describe myself as a go-getter, following the footsteps of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I like rendering services and really enjoy being the man behind the scenes, thankfully It has made a positive impact on my brand. Most people find it hard to believe I'm really the man behind the projects when we finally meet following the massive success.
My mum's younger sister and Senator Oluremi Tinubu gave me the confidence when I needed it the most so they are highly placed in the Trek success story.

Nairaland: If not media, what would you have ventured into?
Oki: Considering my enthusiasm towards advocacy and accounting background, I believe I would be either a lawyer or a successful banker.

After a long hiatus from the music scene, indigenous Rapper/ Evangelist, Michael Oluwaseun, popularly known as MS Word has confirmed plans of staging a major comeback in 2018.

Ms Word who left the music scene to be an evangelist hinted on dropping a new single by month end and is expected to release his debut album this year. Currently unsigned to any record label, Omojuomolo, as he's fondly called by industry associates has over 7 tracks and has featured on several rap contests. His popular hit single, Jaiye Oloba has also featured as soundtrack to several Nigerian home videos.

Ms Word, who has been absent for so long is expected to make an official statement by Monday, via his social media handles.

Right from time, Nigeria has always been foremost in entertainment across Africa, especially when it comes to music, where despite the interesting competition in the industry, there is still enough room and love to go round. It is also remarkable that despite the nation's terrible economy which can be summed up as being comatose, the music sector has continued to flourish and the growth experienced in the industry within the past few years has been monumental to say the least. Now, In Nigeria, unlike before, when it was regarded as a lazy man's hustle, music now serves in different interesting capacities, most popularly as the quickest springboard to fame and a goldmine amongst many others.

Our music culture which recently began to gain international recognition had been evolving at a very fast pace and tragically without proper documentation. The advent of the internet and social media which revolutionised the global scene is also credited for bringing entertainers closer to their audience and is proving to be much more useful in Nigeria; as a digital library in the cause of documentation and viral marketing/promotion.

Unlike the days of CDs and USBs, when hundreds of promo copies had to be made to launch an effective promo or when you had to buy TV time to reach out, music promotion has been made easy now that the internet and social media has revolutionised the music industry, practically controlling every aspect of the media including TV.

Now, armed with an array of talents (artistes, sound engineers, writers and instrumentalists), wealthy sponsors, professional managers, top notch PR teams and reputable showcase platforms such as awards and music festivals, the Nigerian music industry appears to be fully geared for global conquest, but without the proper documentation of the progress we are currently making, we are bound to lose touch with our genesis, for It is just a matter of time before we forget the roadmap that led us to our music El Dorado. It is a popular fact that only a handful from the current horde of trending entertainers actually pioneered the different movements that has brought about the music privileges and benefits currently being enjoyed. Now, Nigeria has gotten so big that other than being the #1 entertainment destination in Africa, its celebrities are also being compared to internationally renowned superstars. And with the exploits of our artistes continuing to trend globally, it is just a matter of time before the subject of our music origins falls under global scrutiny, a situation where music pundits all over the world will begin to dissect and give varying verdicts (most will definitely be biased), maybe then we would wake up and realize the importance of this phase.

A short walk down memory lane of the major turning points in mainstream music within the last 10 years include the entry of late indigenous rapper, DaGrin, who made indigenous rap fit into mainstream music and most notably, the defunct Mo hits crew who featured Snoop Dogg in the billboard hit "Mr. Endowed", a collaboration that improved the international relations and perspective of our music industry, ever since, others who have dared to veer international have always set the bar way ahead. Asa stormed the industry with her unique out of this world sounds while Banky W went on to popularise the concept of "cover" with his Ebutte Metta rendition of Rihanna's Umbrella. Terry G made crazy look cooler than Charly Boy did, Mode 9 gave rap a footing in Nigeria and left MI with the burden of keeping it undiluted. Wizkid's entry is definitely a major turning point in music from Africa. The unseen rivalry between himself and fellow entrants, Olamide and Skales kept Wizkid on his toes. And with Olamide moving on to build his own empire and movement, the appearance of Davido appeared to be the deal breaker for everyone, initially in the Nigerian music scene, but later on across Africa too. With his status showoff and extravagant spending, Davido rattled and became the new driving force in the industry. The industry has since changed from being a mediocre affair to a war zone, with record labels locked in stiff competition, established artistes scrambling for endorsements while new acts keep going under before they even get heard, just because they don't understand the game.
A closer look at the current entertainment industry gives the illusion of an unscripted movie, with roles available for every Nigerian entertainer.

Unknown to most, especially the fast rising and next rated acts, in order to stay relevant, everybody plays a role, the goal is to find a role, build it and work with it or the tougher option, find a way to expunge the character you'd like to play.

Currently, Wizkid is the crowd's favorite, Olamide is the king of the streets, Runtown has claimed the title of sound god, Don Jazzy is the industry mentor/ OG. D Banj is the stylish OG/business man. Tiwa Savage is the queen of pop while Simi is the Queen of vocals. Patoranking is the reggae king and Davido is money man. Falz, by channelling his reservoir of knowledge and IQ into music ultimately became the king of wordplay, and the list goes on

With the current "trending" family constantly dropping tracks and remaining relevant, it would seem they are sending a "buckle up" message to the next generation of artistes and courtesy of all the artistes pushing the country into the global spotlight, Nigerians have earned the bragging rights as music champions, with only The Grammy and Soul Train Awards yet to be won by a Nigerian.

It is a popular fact that music in Africa has been evolving at a very fast pace and with the discreetly intense competition among the artistes, it takes the grace of God coupled with consistency and smart work to keep up.

With several talented artistes going under before they are even heard, few have been fortunate to hit the limelight, albeit briefly, one of such is Efemuna Mukoro aka Black Magic.

A Computer Science graduate of Uniben, Black magic's breakthrough into mainstream music was a much deserved one, having began music since 2001, before being discovered in 2007, then moving on to parting ways with a label he reportedly played an integral role in developing. When he finally hit the spotlight with Repete, he became the rave, he jumped from being a face in the crowd to an immediate B-list celebrity and Nigerians loved him. But as they say, all things come to an end, after a few hits, Black Magic went off the music scene and hasn't returned since. His disappearance keeps raising concerns among fans who would rather believe he went to juice up than abandon the game.

With a style that stands out in any crowd, Black Magic joined the wagon of celebrities who promised to bring home Grammy and Nigerians proved to be a loyal audience but not much has been heard from him in a very long time except for the collabo with FettyWap which didn't gain much traction as expected.
Question Stands; Where is Black Magic Repete and What is He Upto"

Nigerian underground rapper, Michael Oluwaseun, popularly known as Msworld omojuomolo, has revealed his burning desire to storm the mainstream music industry in 2018.

The "Jaiye Oloba" crooner, who began his career several years back with other underground wavemakers was said to have received a spiritual calling which caused him to embark on a music hiatus but going by recent reports from the artiste's camp, MsWorld is ready to reclaim his space in the music industry. With over 5 songs to his belt, MsWorld was already ascending the ladder to stardom before the halt which saw him becoming an evangelist and eventually led to other struggling acts vying for his spot. Now, with the exploits of our artistes trending worldwide, it is apparent, MsWorld wants to be a part of history in the making, having enlisted the support and endorsements of industry bigwigs.

With MsWorld's reentry into the music scene, there is every likelihood of a shuffle in the industry but still, fans are hopeful the rapper is back to stay.

Tobi Smallz, whose involvement in Dr. Crude's recent, Fonole, project was described as flawless is proving to be a force to reckon with in the underground music scene and has also been cited by several media campaigns as one of the acts to watch out for in 2018. On numerous occasions, the indie/afropop act has credited music for keeping him out of trouble and responsible for his fame status, hence the reason for his enthusiasm towards good music.

Going by gossip from the camp of the Mojekwus, the duo of Africa's foremost wonderkid, Ozzybee and his mentor, Mummy Bosco have been in high spirits since the new year and sources closer to the Mojekwus claim the reason for the euphoria, other than the gift of life is the wonder kid's birthday which falls on the 7th of January.

Ozzybee, whose career flourished exceedingly last year received a couple deserved endorsements, including several awards and recognition respectively; mostly for his immense contribution towards humanitarian activities, hence, plenty of reasons to celebrate God's favor. For the last 3 years, Ozzy's profile which keeps rising at an unprecedented pace has been a national pride, having represented Nigeria and Africa at several international high profile events, especially at the Prestigious Britain's Got Talent and most recently, the Pan African Humanitarian Summit and Awards where Ozzy dazzled and received a standing ovation from both crowd.

Recently, not much has been heard from entertainment big boy, Caesar since his split from Eva, except for the usual magazine covers and blogs questioning him about his relationship with his former fiancee until now, that the lawyer turned ace broadcaster has finally dropped hint of the grand plans he's been secretly scheming which has been consuming most of his time.

The popular Cool FM presenter's disappearance from the social scene initially gave way to baseless insinuations of a meltdown and when he didn't announce any project for the year, it was a big blow to his fans and lovers of rap music, especially viewers of Rap Nation, but Caesar during a chat with journalists reassured everyone of his commitment to the entertainment industry and went on to confirm the return of Rap Nation, adding that it would be bigger than before " Yeah, I slowed down to go behind the scenes to build the label and to create the kind of content I wanna confidently put my name behind besides I'm currently working on a movie with Temi and I'm also about to unleash a new music sensation called Sharon King, she is one of kind. And personally, I'm dropping something soon with Marvis of Big Brother Naija. Just so you all know, Rap Nation season 3 is coming next year, this time the prize for the winner is way much bigger and we are taking it nation wide" and attending to the issue of those spreading false stories of a meltdown, the bodybuilding
ladies hunk laughed it off saying "Eva and I still chat once in a while.. We even brainstorm on certain ideas so yeah it's false information"

Caesar, whose career was assumed to be nosediving has always been one of the most sought after entertainment personalities in Nigeria, but after becoming less active on the social scene, insinuations started flying that his split from Eva might have sent him into a pit of no return. Agnes Khris, an entertainment pundit reasons the couple's seclusion was the best thing, while claiming " It would be interesting to learn that people have been more concerned with peeling old wounds rather than staying updated but now that he has come out with so much, we should be expecting more from Eva and that's a good thing for Rap in Nigeria " She added.
