His 2016 smash hit 'Pana' has been all over the airwaves since it dropped.

Unfortunately, 'Duro' and 'Pana' couldn't get nominated for this year's Headies 'Song of the year category' or in the Best R&B/Pop single category as they both were released outside the year in review.
However, many feel, and surely the artiste and his label, that he should have been nominated in Artiste of the Year category that would see him battle it out with Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, Wizkid and Falz.

Tens of thousands of protesters gathered across the US as the backlash over Trump's victory took hold
In Oakland protesters set fires in streets and threw bottles at cops, as police retaliated with tear gas
Demonstrators in New York hung effigies of Trump to chants of 'not my President' and 'Black Lives Matter'
In Los Angeles, a disorganized protest of thousands saw fires on City Hall steps and 110 Freeway taken over
Rallies were held in at least 16 other cities as Americans protest against Trump's divisive politics


Violence has broken out at anti-Trump rallies across America overnight as tens of thousands marched against the President-elect.

The streets of downtown Oakland in California were choked with smoke Thursday as police launched tear gas and protesters lit fires, in what became by some distance the most violent of the many protests against the election of Donald Trump.

More than 6,000 protesters were seen on the streets of Oakland with an initially peaceful march down a cop-lined street turning nasty after some protesters threw bottles at officers.

In New York, home of the President-elect, at least 30 people were arrested when cops cracked down on twin demonstrations in Columbus Circle and at Trump Tower.

As many as 7,500 demonstrators were believed to have been split between the two locations, chanting 'Black Lives Matter' and 'Donald Trump, go away, racist, sexist, anti-gay.'

Cher and Madonna were among the NYC protesters, with Cher telling one supporter they needed to 'fight.'

And thousands more filled streets in Los Angeles in an apparently disorganized mass that had no specific start or end point, taking over the 110 Freeway. Other protesters gathered outside City Hall, lighting fires and waving Trump heads on sticks.

Trump's poll-defying win has sparked a wave of similar rallies across the country. Protests stopped traffic in Chicago, Illinois; Portland, Oregon; and San Francisco, California, among many others.

Outside the White House, a candlelit vigil was being held in protest against Mr Trump's inflammatory and divisive brand of politics. But even peaceful protests in that city went awry, with at least one protester being bundled into the back of a van by the Secret Service.

Ebonyi state house of assembly member, Hon Maria Ude Nwachi, popularly known as 'Nwanyi Afikpo' has written a lengthy piece to popular blogger Linda Ikeji over the recent statements she made about marriage and the kind of man she would
love to marry.
The lawmaker who considers Linda’s statement an affront on humanity, said Linda should know that no condition is permanent.

According to her, Linda can’t have it both ways and must learn to humble herself if she truly wants to find a man who will marry her. Read what she wrote after the cut....

"Linda, you cannot have it both ways.....
I personally did a lot of damage control for Linda Ikeji when it was alleged she said; she can buy any man with her money. I sincerely did not believe she can utter such; as I could not imagine any reasonable human being saying such. I defended her with all my might. I Paid Facebook and Google to boost and promote the article I took my time to create, image-making style, in order to squash that allegation.
Remember, I do not know her in any shape. Never met her. Never spoken with her. I know her the same way millions do, via the fact that she is famous blogger. I Just did it from my heart; for I see her as a role model to women and youths. And I did not want such dent on her image.
Recently, power-blogger, Linda Ikeji, told an interviewer that she can never marry a poor man. Hear her: "No, I can’t marry a poor guy and I’m being honest about it. He doesn’t have to be rich but let him be successful in his own way. When I was 30, my standards were extremely high. Now, I have only three criteria. He must be successful. He must be a good man in the sense that he has to be very supportive of what I do. If he tries to stifle me, I’m out. The third one, is the one that likes to eat groceries well (laughs)."n
On her latest statement, I do not agree with her at all. Firstly; a rich man is nothing but a poor man with money. And; no condition in life is ever permanent.
The scariest thing for a man to hear is not even the one of her saying she can't marry a poor man, it is the one she says that she would be out if a man tries to stifle her. Then she better just create the man from scratch. Because there is no man, especially African man, that will not attempt to stifle his wife every now and then.
That innocuous utterance has already sent strong signals to those successful men she is seeking that they better go and marry someone that will not attempt to wear the trouser at home with them; and not her. It also indicates to those successful men she wants that she will never be submissive in anyway to them; that she no send and is ready for a divorce at any given time. She is basically preempting divorce even before marriage.
The major reason men, especially African men are working hard to be successful is so they can get that woman they want, that will give them a peaceful home, and the leeway to be the oga of the house. Why would a man go through it all to make it only to marry a woman who is going to become the man of the house with him.
Important: A man is a man, poor or rich. No man with his head in intact, will be okay for a woman to control him. Even if the woman is richer than money itself. It will not happen. Even the poorest man on earth would rather be eating his Indomie in peace than to be controlled by any woman. This applies even in the civilized world. This not about pride, this is human nature.
On money: Being rich, poor or broke is not a permanent state of being. Moreover; money is not the be all and end all of life. Some people are very rich today not just by hard work but by force of universe which can also be interpreted as grace. Let us not dismiss people based on their current condition. Moreover, he only thing constant in life is change.
Hear Linda, "I keep telling people. It’s not that men are scarce. They are not scarce. The type of men that some of us are looking for are scarce. If I want to get married next week, I can. I want a man that I can look up to. Somebody that inspires me, somebody that will push me, motivate me; somebody who has had some success in his own career. I’m inspired by successful people. I can’t wait to meet someone like Tyler Perry."
Now let us talk about the definition of success. According to her, she wants to marry a successful man, but the man does not have to be rich. This is a huge oxymoron (an epigrammatic effect, by which contradictory terms are used in conjunction). Success is defined as; the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. And it does not take a genius to understand that by successful, she means a wealthy man. A man of means. Going by the example she gives as her kind of man, Tyler Perry, she has dropped all the hint any one needs to know concerning her idea of a successful man. Perry is an ultra-rich American actor, comedian, producer, director, screenwriter, playwright, author, and songwriter.
The problem i see with Linda is that she is often too open about her feelings. I will advise that in her search for a man that she should keep some of her criterias private. This is not America, this is not oyibo land where women can say and do anything with minimal or no consequence. Emotional intelligence is knowing your environment and adapting to it; especially when it comes to utterances, actions etc. It is not everything the heart conceives that must be uttered publicly.
Dear Linda, you can't have it both ways. You can't eat your cake and have it too. Being a very successful woman in Nigeria, you must be willing to compromise when it comes to relationships with the opposite sex. You might not be a girl, due to your high level, a man can tell what to do or what not to do, but you must not say such out loud, you must give vibes that you can be told what to do by your man, you must do your best to show them the utmost respect, the most respect you can muster to give them. You are going to have to eat humble pies for your man many a times. And it is okay my darling, it will take nothing away from you. Let the man to feel he is in control. You must try and do that. It is not an option, it is necessary.
By your success alone, you have made many men feel a bit less manly, and so to even rub it in by reading them riot acts to them, is an overkill. Humility is a natural gift, those who are humble by nature will remain humble even if they become the richest on earth. But humility can be learned too, in dealing with the opposite sex you will need a mighty doze of humility, nnem, learn it if by force biko. Always remember that a man is a man is man is a man. Respect matter to a man; no matter his status and class.
Linda, in the end you will have the last laugh, when you are running around with your cute kids doing one or two things and your hubby by your side. When you are compromising and eating them humble pies, think of your family (your own kid/s and man) and it will all be worth it.
By virtue of you being a very successful woman, African woman for that matter, no matter who you marry, it is not going to be easy. But if you do your math properly, do some adjustments and amendments, you won't have any regrets. Life as we know it is not a bed of roses for anyone, if you have this, you might not have that, so it's all about compromise and middle-ground.
You are a very public figure. Your public utterances must be guided. By virtue of your rag to riches success story; you have become an involuntary role model to many; including me. You are intelligent but you need to take a class on emotional intelligence. Be very mindful of your public statements please. I wish you more success in life. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Maria Ude Nwachi (Afikpo Chic).

A close friend of runway bride, Roseline, 32, who ran away during her wedding reception in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State a few months ago, has revealed why she ran away. Speaking to Vanguard, the close friend who didn't want her name mentioned said the lady left because she saw her true in the reception and decided to follow him. For real? Really?


“I believe she did what she did because she saw the previous man in her life at the reception. We heard that he had earlier promised to marry the bride, but he later traveled to Lagos and never showed up again. When the bride waited for a long time and he (former suitor) was nowhere to be found, she decided to marry another man, who was ready although she still loved her former suitor. So when her true love showed up at the reception without notice, the woman saw him and decided to call it quits with her husband to follow her heartthrob.”

Actress/Politician, Funke Adesiyan, revealed how she made her first million when she was 17 years old and also built her first house at the age of 19. Sharing her story on social media, she wrote
"Let me tell you a story. I am a product of God's Grace. I was the Games Prefect at my elementary school, I was the Senior Prefect of the secondary school I attended. I started modelling at 13. I started business at 14.
At 17 I made my first million. At 19, I built my first house. At 24, i already have OND, a diploma and a degree. At 25,I ran a presidential campaign for one of the greatest men Nigeria is blessed with, Mallam Shekarau. At 26, I opened a fashion emporium in my home town which cost me over 20 million naira then. But guess what, at 27, I had lost almost all. This was the period I knew people for what they are. God used this period to prepare me for a better tomorrow. Instead of sulking, I looked inward and found a renewed strength within me. I sold my car, started all over but this time, quietly. I found a new calling. To live my live for people who are truly in need and have nothing to even give you in return but a most sincere prayer to God almighty. To the glory of God today, I am the CEO of four resourseful companies with interest in Importation, Oil and Gas, Integrated services and Farming. Guess what? I'm yet to begin! Whatever your disappointment, see it as an opportunity. Never be scared to begin again. Everyday is always a new day!!! Before you envy my success, learn my pain! #funkeadesiyan

Iyanya officially launched his Mavin career today, October 31, 2016 with his first single on the label, Up 2 Sumtin, a track where he revealed his feelings about his split with erstwhile partner, Ubi Franklin.
The singer reflects on
the broken promises and unfulfilled dreams he had with his long-time friend and partner who forced him out of Triple MG, a company he co-founded after their relationship became frosty.
Although, Iyanya’s move to MAVIN took everyone by surprise as it was expected that he would start another label from the scratch, the move is hailed in many quarters as an inspired one as the artiste is in good company with the Don Jazzy, Tiwa Savage and Dr. Sid of this world.
Iyanya, in apparent reference to Ubi in the first line of the new single reminisced on the promises they shared about growing together and becoming great together, hinting once again that it was never his desire to leave MMMG in the first place.

The All Progress Congress (APC) has called for the arrest of former president Goodluck Jonathan over the alleged monumental corruption believed to have characterised his administration.
The party's Lagos chapter made the call on Sunday, October 30, in reaction to Jonathan's recent statement, where he defended his National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki over the alleged $2.1 billion arms fraud.
Jonathan had said it is impossible for Dasuki to have stolen $2.1 billion budgeted for the purchase arms for the military, arguing that his administration procured arms and ammunition with the funds.
"We bought warships, we bought aircraft, we bought lots of weapons for the army," he said in a recent interview at the Oxford Union in the United Kingdom.
The APC berated Jonathan's comment, saying it is surprising that the former president would defend Dasuki at a time when many who served under his government are already returning stolen funds.\
In a statement by its spokesman, Joe Igbokwe, it said instead of Jonathan to concentrate on redeeming his smeared image, he is busy defending his 'corrupt' subordinates.
The statement said: "Even as we concede that Jonathan is on a desperate bid to rehabilitate himself, we wouldn’t believe that a former President should be so contemptuous of the intelligence of Nigerians as to give the kind of defence he gave to Sambo Dasuki.
"We wonder what Jonathan makes of the horrid details that are emanating from the Dasukigate issue with shocking evidences, confessions and even refunds made by those that participated in that monumental corruption.
"To claim that Dasuki and his partners did not steal the arms purchase fund reveals the inner beliefs of Jonathan.
"One would have expected Jonathan to be cautious in seeking to advance very childish and inadmissible exculpation of his subordinates for glaring acts of corruption. We had expected that Jonathan would have striven to water down the lowly impression held of him by Nigerians and the international community by not deciding to be so patronising to clear cases of corruption by his subordinates.
"By Jonathan’s defence of Sambo Dasuki, we believe time has come for the security agencies to pick up Jonathan to tell the nation all that he knows of the many cases of corruption that happened under him."
