And then suddenly, towards the mid-year, Blings On Weddings’ started to make terrestrial radio waves. A broader hip-hop audience discovered this young dude and his distinctive personal flair. His single made a big splash upon release.
Countycity is a native of Anaocha LGA, Anambra state, Nigeria. His style of music ranges from Hip Hop, World , Afro , Pop , and Disco

Real name Onyeachom Stephen Okechukwu or Odogwi DJ as he’s fondly called by fans, he’s an all-time-rocking solo artist and Disc Jockey out of Nigeria, with more than 30 international shows.

Some of the finest progressive house music experiments have been created by Blackk beat, thanks to his expertise and talents. As of right now, he’s the most popular Naija DJ export who has also mobilized top music artists to perform on the international stage.

He has remained the central promoter that artists go to whenever they are routing for international shows and he has helped so many young artists find their footings in the industry. This is one major reason why Blackk Beat has remained relevant in the Naija entertainment space, as he has raised so many brooding artists to become renowned figures and has also given other star artists an international platform to perform. Other renowned artists, he’s worked with include, Wande Coal, Burna Boy, Davido, Nkechi Blessing Aero Y, and many more

Asha Gangali, a Nigerian singer, rapper, and talent hunt coach, has affirmed to his compatriots, that the fame Afrobeats currently enjoys globally is at the expense of other genres such as Dancehall which has ‘fallen off’.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, Gangali, who will be a judge in the upcoming Naija Star Search Reality show, which is expected to focus mainly on Afrobeats, said that more efforts are needed to sustain the movement and implored Nigerians to see the talent show “as leverage to take Afrobeats to a greater height”.
“Everybody is shouting that Afrobeats getting Grammy recognitions but if you don’t manage it from home; if you don’t get a platform to continue to project the right vibes to the global audience, it’s going to wade off as Dancehall genre did,” he said.

We got there on the billboard at the expense of dancehall reggae. Do you think the reggae dancehall people are happy? We’ve dominated all their airwaves. Afrobeats has dominated but if you don’t manage it, we may lose the fame in the long run. That’s while we have to keep discovering new talents like we are seeing in this Naija Star Search,” he added.
He continued: “You will agree with me that our music has evolved over the years. We have fused so many genres from hip hop to R&B and reggae. We’ve always evolved. We took over hip hop just like we’ve taken over Amapiano. It has always been our thing. We took these foreign rhythms and beats and then interpreted them.”

In March this year, two years after Billboard discontinued its Reggae Digital Song Sales chart which ranked the top-downloaded Reggae songs, the magazine announced that it had joined forces with music festival and global Afrobeats brand Afro Nation to launch the first-ever US chart for Afrobeats Songs.

At the time, Billboard’s SVP of Charts and Development, Silvio Pietroluongo, had said his organization was proud to showcase the top songs and singers with the new weekly ranking, “as with much of the world, Afrobeats has grown tremendously as a genre in America”.   At the same time, Afro Nation founder Obi Asika had said that the last 10 years have seen Afrobeats explode into a worldwide phenomenon, influencing culture and fashion across the globe and that he was humbled to have made a contribution to growing the genre “alongside many talented, passionate people”.  
In November 2019, British disc jockey David Rodigan, had declared at a Dubwise media launch, that “Dancehall music has been replaced by Afrobeats” due to the overwhelming amount of Trap sounds being represented as Dancehall music.

Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall, which was played out in front of a live audience and three judges, produced stars such as 2015 Grammy nominee Devin Di Dakta, Deep Jahi, Tanto Blacks, Specialist, Jah Bouks and featured other stars such as Rygin King, Kalado and Stylysh. 
However, it was abandoned in 2018 after 11 seasons.

Iru Residents Call For Help As Oba Gbolahan Lawal Enforces 3-Day Curfew



The people of Iruland have once again called on the Lagos state government and the good people of Nigeria to save them from the death-grip of the Oniru of Iruland, Gbolahan Lawal, who is hell-bent on destroying what is left of the pastime, culture, and heritage of Iruland.



The Oniru of Iruland, since his inception, has made headlines on many occasions for all the wrong reasons varying from land-grabbing, intimidation of royal bloodlines, enforcement of toll gates, and many other vices that make life difficult for the residents of Iru.



Gbolahan Lawal, who is popularly referred to as King Nebuchadnezzar of Iruland, in the early hours of today, Monday, 01 August 2022, released a statement to enforce a 3-day curfew so as for him to carry out self-vested spiritual divination in the guise of cleansing the community.



Speaking with a cross-section of concerned residents, it is gathered that the immediate past Oniru of Iruland, Oba Idowu Abiodun Oniru in his 25 years of reign, never carried out Oro activity outside the confines of the palace.



A resident who is a medical doctor told newsmen that the decision of Oba Gbolahan to conduct Oro traditional festival at this time of theightened insecurity in the nation, is insensitive, cruel, and dangerous.



“I have never seen such height of insensitivity and gross carelessness by a royal father. “He depicts the picture of Adolf Hitler of the Nazi’s in the 1940s who disregarded the right of the people to life. "Where else in a developed community would any sane royal father, who claimed to be educated, carry out fetish festival and force innocent residents into staying at home by force”.



"This is not a village. "There can be emergencies; there can be women in labour, and there can be people who may need urgent medical attention and may have to leave their homes during these periods. Nothing describes insensitivity and reckless disregard for the people’s right to movement and life, as this wicked decision. Even Lagos state has lifted the curfew of COVID”, "His action has exposed his level of illiteracy and incompetence as a royal father", he said.

Another resident who is a banker blamed the Lagos state government for turning blind eye to all of Oniru’s insensitive actions in the past, which has given him the courage to go ahead and establish a new rule by himself at the detriment of the residents of Iru.



“Go and check history, the late Oniru has never done any festival that will restrict the movement of people for more than 20 years. Why now?



“I feel Governor Sanwoolu needs to rise to the occasion and call him to others because this is not the right time to throw our constitutional right to movement in the bin”#



“There have been threats of attack by bandits who claimed they are already in Lagos. Lagosians are now more security conscious than ever before. This is not the time to force people to sit at home because anyone wants to achieve his motive illegitimately. Lagos state government needs to rise to this occasion before Oba Gbolahan’s thugs begin to attack people in their homes.



A key member of the royal bloodline who plead anonymity also hinted that Oba Gbolahan intends to sieve the 3-day Oro festival to intimidate, oppress, and attack the people whom he sees as a threat to his reign as Oniru. They believed his intentions are more sinister than the Oro practice.



He, however, sends SOS to governor Sanwoolu to take control of the situation and ensure that Oba Gbolahan reconsiders his desperate mission to shut down Iruland for 3 days.

One of Nigeria’s foremost real estate investment companies, Grossbuy real estate is celebrating its 10th anniversary of making affordable housing and investment opportunity attainable for Nigerians and 5th anniversary of brilliant business investment operations in the United States respectively.
The apex real estate leasing and purchase platform was first introduced in Nigeria in 2012 and started its giant strides in Lagos with a physical office presence with less than 10 staff strengths. It also launched in the United States in 2017, an active marketing network across the western business space.
The Group Managing Director of the company, Prince Olaniyi Karonwi narrated how he started like any other business but was driven by a high sense of growth and development to the housing sector of the Nigerian economy hence the need for the propagation of affordable housing schemes.
“We noticed a vacuum in the industry that lacks adequate housing information and flexible payment structure that would enable every Nigerian to have a roof over their head which brought about our installment and flexible prices and mortgages across all our properties.
“We also provided a broader platform for those who want to lease or sell properties via our Grossbuy network. We also help buyers do due diligence about the documentation and validity of properties and the integrity of the seller, to be sure that the property is safe for purchase or lease.
Our vision is to become a leading real estate investment company in Nigeria but eventually, we discovered that our passion for world-class real estate standards has attracted interest from the United States of America and the United Arab Emirates. The company has grown so massively with over 1,500 staff strength including marketers, 10 estate location across the country and Republic of Benin and several operational offices.”

We appreciate you all and hope to serve you more in the years to come”.
He also implored Nigeria’s policymakers to focus on, improving access to electricity in Africa.
“Improving access to electricity in Africa will unlock the wealth of this continent, but lack of access to electricity is holding us back,” he said.
The CEO while thanking the Nigerian base clients also announced the decision of the company to extend massively its business tentacle to the United Arab Emirates, UAE.
“We are embarking on a full-scale investment project in the heart of Dubai and our existing clients and investors will be carried along.

Former Anambra State Governor and presidential aspirant Peter Obi, on Wednesday, May 25, 2022 tendered his resignation from the Party and stepped down from the race. This was coming after internal politicking within the PDP divided the party along ethnic and religious interest.
Peter Obi has garnered support from outside and within the country but his fate would first be determined by the party delegates before the teeming supporters could back him with votes at the poll.


However, the Group Managing Director of Suru Group, Edward Akinlade has described Peter Obis resignation as a huge loss to the party and Nigeria as a nation.

He had earlier in the day implored Nigerians to work and secure their future and support the former Governor in this journey to rescue Nigeria from the clutches of decay and disnintegration

He disclosed this on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, during a virtual press conference from the United Kingdom noting that Peter Obi has what it takes to get Nigeria back on the path of progress and that his campaign would require little funding.

Mr Edward Akinlade warned that Nigeria would remain in perpetual depression for another eight years and go into extinction if it failed to produce a formidable president in 2023.

“In the unlikely event that the key stakeholders are unable to come together and pick a governor as the PDP’s presidential candidate, I strongly urge you to support Peter Obi as PDP’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election.”

“At this time, equity, fairness and justice demand that the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria be zoned to the South East. But more importantly, even if Peter Obi was from Borneo, I would vote for him at this time, beyond ethnic and political affiliations

Peter Obi stands head and shoulder over all other candidates from the South East, whether of the PDP or of the APC. He is a consummate businessman and a trusted political administrator”
The real estate guru said Obi’s candidacy would require little or no campaign, as Nigerians across board are already agitating for him to become the president. It is, therefore, politically wise to support his aspiration.

“A Peter Obi presidency will not only heal the nation’s fault lines but will also restore the country’s economic growth.”

Mr Edward Akinlade is an astute real estate Professional and Property Developer with an emphasis on high End Commercial and Residential Real Estate Developments. He is well experienced in the identification of excellent property locations and development internationally and locally.
He is highly competent in Property Finance and Trading, versatile in the origination, conception, structuring and completion of wide range property developments. He has pioneered the development of cooperative upscale development of luxury terraced housing units in the local Nigerian market and abroad. Worthy of note is his contribution and wealth of experience in emerging hospitality industry with a broad focus on the West African sub-region. He pioneered the arrival of the US Best Western Hotels brand into Lagos Ikeja.

*Presidency 2023: Real Estate Guru, Edward Akinlade Drums Support For Peter Obi*

Group Managing Director of Suru Group, Edward Akinlade has called on presidential aspirants under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to close their ranks and present Peter Obi as the party’s flagbearer.

He also asked all well-meaning Nigerians to defend their future and support the former Governor in this journey to rescue Nigeria from the clutches of decay and disnintegraton imploring presidential aspirants who have declared interest under the party such as Governor Nyesom Wike, Bala Mohammed, Emmanuel Udom, Aminu Tambuwal, and others to step down for Obi in 2023.

He disclosed this on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, during a virtual press conference from the United Kingdom noting that Peter Obi has what it takes to get Nigeria back on the path of progress and that his campaign would require little funding.

Mr Edward Akinlade warned that Nigeria would remain in perpetual depression for another eight years and go into extinction if it failed to produce a formidable president in 2023.
The business of who becomes the PDP’s presidential candidate is a business that affects all Nigerians. I urge the PDP delegates to put their egos aside, come together and pick Peter Obi as PDP’s presidential candidate.”

“In the unlikely event that the key stakeholders are unable to come together and pick a governor as the PDP’s presidential candidate, I strongly urge you to support Peter Obi as PDP’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election.”

“At this time, equity, fairness and justice demand that the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria be zoned to the South East. But more importantly, even if Peter Obi is from Borneo, I will vote for him at this time, beyond ethnic and political affiliations

International custodian of African culture, peace ambassador and The Erelu Oodua of Aye Kingdom, Erelu Tinuade Mabel Onaneye has cried out against senseless discrimination all over the world which has resulted in the unending killings across all continents.

She made the call at her base in the United States on the morning of Tuesday 17th of May 2022 following the killing of 10 black people last Saturday at a Supermarket in Buffalo, New York, an incident she described as a racist hate crime', the lynching of Deborah Samuel in Sheu Shagari College of Education in Wamako, Sokoto-Nigeria for alleged blasphemy and several crimes around the globe.

'These killings are motivated and fuelled by discrimination- racial, religious, political and even class discrimination. White extremists don't want black folks, they want to displace the people of colour, religious extremists don't want other faith, rich hate the poor, ruling class don't like commoners and Nigerian northerners hate Southerners.' Erelu Oodua lamented.

'What's the world turning to? Where are we heading with these sentiments? Will the world survive with these unholy practices? Even America thought to be role model to the whole world can no longer hold forth. Hate and hater is the practices of the day. Where is the peace and love they preach?' She queried.

Erelu posited no faith supports the killings of fellow humans, for revenge or for rituals and nowhere in any of the holy books where God instructed anyone to fight for him.

In conclusion, Erelu Tinuade Mabel enjoins all leaders across the globe to preach peace to their subjects, followers, parties, tribes, clans and class, so we can all move forward

Fitch, the world’s biggest global rating agency has alleged that Africa’s wealthiest man, Aliko Dangote is broke.



It alleged that his company, Dangote Industries has limited financial flexibility with which to complete its refinery.



Fitch is basing its allegation on the timely completion or lack thereof of the project, adding that only limited delays or cost overruns may be tolerated in the current rating.



Fitch argues that Dangote Industries suffers from weak corporate governance.



It says that the existence of a “complex group structure with a large number of related-party transactions” has “a negative effect on operational and financial transparency.”



“We also think it’s a risk that Aliko Dangote, as CEO and main shareholder, has a lot of power over operations,” it added.



Dangote had promised to commission the $19 billion refinery project before President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure ends next year.



Not only is the Dangote refinery very dear to Buhari’s government, Fitch claims that the government sees the project as the messiah that will solve Nigeria’s perennial fuel scarcity problem as it will end the country’s dependence on imported foreign fuel.



But as it turns out, Fitch seems to think that this dream and the time line Dangote gave Buhari is not achievable.



And their reason is not far fetched: Dangote requires an additional $1.1 billion (900 billion) naira to complete the refinery next year.



Unfortunately, Dangote does not have that kind of money now as he has invested all his cash and even borrowed from lenders to finance the refinery project.



Again, the lenders that borrowed Dangote’s loan for the financing of the project cannot give him the 900 billion naira that Dangote needs to complete the project as they are already over exposed to the project.



So the only way Dangote can raise money is through the sale of bonds by his cement company, Dangote Cement.



Dangote cement is already to sell bonds this year.



If the money urgently needed by Dangote isn’t raised through the sale of bonds, he can sell some shares in his cement company (he owns over 86% of Dangote cement) or he can sell some refinery project stakes, which would be the likely option to plug the gap.



He has sold 20% of the refinery stake to NNPC at a cost of $2.5 billion, but he might be forced to dilute more stakes in the refinery if all the options to raise the $1.1 billion needed to complete the refinery fail him.



But if all these measures to raise money fail to see the light of the day, the only available option left for Aliko is to increase the price of his cement from what it is now to something higher.



Fitch concluded its report by saying that the earliest Dangote refinery can deliver its project is

2024 and not the 2023 that Dangote promised Buhari.



The Dangote refinery project has gone too far and Dangote, is racing against time just to make sure that he delivers the project.



If not for anything, a lot of hopes are tied to the project, and its failure to deliver will be nothing but a catastrophe.

The Chairman of Suru Group of Companies, Edward Akinlade has challenged the Asset Management Company of Nigeria, AMCON, over the way it has handled his seized property, Best Western Hostel located along with the highbrow Allen Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos State.



While addressing pressmen in Ikeja on Wednesday 11th May 2022 the business tycoon challenged the Asset Management Company of Nigeria, AMCON, which is currently in possession of the building for contravening the laws of the land.



“This hotel is supposed to be sealed. No work is expected to be taking place here but AMCON is in its possession.



“So I came here to state our position. Our position is very clear. AMCON said we owed them money and we claimed we didn’t owe them anything. They sued us in the Federal High Court before Justice Hassan. We won the case. They appealed to the court of appeal, we won at the court of appeal. They have further appealed at the Supreme Court. The case is coming up in September. No work is expected to be taking place here. But AMCON seems to have demolished substantially part of the hotel, the windows, the floors, and everything. Also, the fear is Lagos state said the building is in danger of falling.



“They have distorted the hotel. A hotel that is worth over 6 billion naira. What this hotel is worth now is about 500 million. So that you can see how AMCON kills businesses. Over 500 people were working in this hotel up till December 2017 when AMCON invaded it with guns without a court order. The court order they brought has nothing to do with us. We went to the Court of Appeal, we overturn it. Instead of AMCON complying, they went to the Supreme Court. So why the case is at the Supreme Court, you can see what they are doing; Illegality upon illegality. They can not sell the property, they can not renovate it because it is against the law.



Akinlade thereby sought the intervention of both the Federal and Lagos state government on the matter.



“In the last one year, the Attorney General was involved, Public Hearing of House of Representatives has been involved, AMCON ignored all of them. They didn’t come. And where a resolution was reached through the Attorney General’s Office, AMCON said no.



“Are they the ones working at the hotel? The question now is who owns the hotel? Have they sold the hotel? who is working there? For what purpose, if we have gotten the Court of Appeal’s ruling in our favour, why are they here? AMCON needs to provide answers to all these.



“I am appealing again to the Attorney General of Nigeria, I am appealing to President Muhammadu Buhari to call Ahmed Kuru to order because if this hotel falls and people die, I would not be held responsible. This is a preamble for us.



When the pressmen visited the hotel building to have a first-hand sight of the present state of the property, they were denied entrance by the security personnel guiding the building as they claimed they need an order from their principal before they grant access.

Popular Lagos big boy, Prince Kazeem Eletu-Odibo, was on Saturday 16th April 2022 uniquely celebrated his mother. He gifted a newly erected mansion which was built on Chief Bamidele Street, Osapa London, Lekki, to his mother.

The mansion which was a birthday gift to his mother, Mrs Janet Eletu-Odibo, was christened "The Emblazoned".

This iconic mansion was specially built for his mom and the initial plan was to dedicate the mansion on her birthday which was around December, but work on the project was delayed due to an unknown reason.

The housewarming which took place on Saturday 16th of April had a lot of dignitaries and high profiles personalities in attendance.

Let's tell you that, the popular Celestial Pastor, Prophet Isreal Oladele Ogundipe was the officiating pastor. He was the special guest of the day and he supervised the cutting of the tape, as Madam Janet, who is the mother of Prince Kazeem Eletu-Odibo, became the owner of a luxury mansion called The Emblazoned. She was in a tear of joy as she cut the tape.

Also in attendance were Chief Waheed, Mama Oloye, Alhaji Mudashiru, and Oba Elect, Prince Demola Eletu-Odibo.

Let's also tell you that Prince Kazeem Eletu-Odibo's close friend, Prince Pastoryoma was in attendance with his beautiful wife. They were both dressed in white attire.

Also in attendance is the Area 2 Police AIG. He stormed the venue with his boys who ensured maximum security throughout the event.

It is also a must to talk about the unique style of Prince Kazeem Eletu-Odibo. He was clad in a white attire that can be called Benin-Edo style. His style was unique and he was the cynosure of all eyes.

The beautiful structure was erected at the centre of Chief Bamidele Eletu Odibo street. The place was equally the place where his late father, High Chief Bamidele Eletu-Odibo, was buried and his statue was erected in the compound of the new mansion.

Prince Kazeem is the MD/CEO of Prince Kazeem Eletu-Odibo properties which has handled several housing projects in the Osapa London axis of Lekki, Lagos.

Hadiza Bala, sacked managing director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has continued to come under intense criticism for her statement lamenting the ongoing insecurity crises in Nigeria, THE WITNESS reports.



Hadiza spoke in the context of the commemoration of eight years after the Chibok girls were abducted in Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists.



The former NPA chief was suspended in May 2021 over the allegation of failure to remit the N165 billion operating surplus to the coffers of the federal government. Though she was later cleared of the allegations, President Buhari, however, did not reinstate her to office.



In recent times, several states in the country, including Kaduna, Plateau, Zamfara, Benue and others, have witnessed large number of terrorist attacks.

The volatile security situation made northern elders demand the immediate resignation of President Buhari.



Hadiza, who reacted through her verified Twitter handle, condemned the situation and demanded swift actions from the government to secure the release of victims.







According to her: “It is eight years today since 276 girls were abducted in Chibok Secondary School, 109 still remain in captivity. Many more girls, boys and indeed citizens of all ages have been abducted from schools, communities and while enroute journeys,” she wrote.

Usman, a co-coordinator of the #BringBackOurGirls movement, which came to life on the heels of the Chibok abductions had been very active in the movement’s activities until she was appointed the managing director of the NPA.



She had thereafter gone silent on issues around activism, or matters critical of the government.



She was, however, recently shown the way out of the appointment after a fallout with the minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.



*Her comments have however sparked criticisms, with some Nigerians labeling her as a ‘shameless hypocrite’ and fresh attention seeker for not speaking out while she was in office as NPA*

When you see a film full of celebrities, it is either total nonsense or a good watch. For the Nollywood movie; City Hustlers, let’s find out if it’s a good watch or not.



City Hustlers is a story that depicts the city of Lagos and the hustling lives of those who live in the city. First, there is the story of a landlord and different tenants in the house; then another story of a Lagos slay queen living in the slum but pretending to be a big girl on social media.



There is also the story of a young gigolo who scams rich women and runs away with their money. At the end of the film, we see how these different characters wiggle their ways out of their situations.



This movie had hilarious scenes that could make people pay little attention to the plot structure.



The acting in City Hustlers is the icing of the movie. City Hustlers is not one of those movies with many superstars filled with overacting. The actors in City Hustlers carried the film well. Should we talk about Akin Lewis, the Landlord? Or Mercy Aigbe, the rich career woman? Or should we talk about Ninolowo Bolanle and how he carried the gigolo role well? Or is it Ogunleye Funsho, Deyemi Okanlawon, Jide Awobona and Linda Osifo who played their roles well? Charles Inojie remains an ace comic actor, and he sure gave us a good laugh.



In all, City Hustlers isn’t a bad watch for ratings; it would get a 8/10.
