Kukere crooner, Iyanya, chats with Punch
about fame and the need for artistes to invest
wisely
Rave of the moment, Iyanya Mbuk, considers
2013 his best year ever. Besides sealing
mouthwatering endorsement deals with MTN,
Zinox Computers and Solo Phones, his
appearance fees have also tripled.
When a headline recently screamed, ‘Iyanya
Mbuk gets over N130m endorsements deals in
2013 alone’, the figure sounded exaggerated as
far as some people are concerned. But in
reality, it is not too far from the truth.
The muscular singer clearly lives a life of
luxury, surrounded by all the trappings of
stardom. Besides his appearance which has
greatly improved, he has also earned a new
accent, synonymous with ‘celebritydom.’
Pointing to the fleet of cars, neatly packed in
his Lekki, Lagos home, the Reality TV product
is quick to douse what he describes as false
reports currently making the rounds.
“I didn’t buy four cars in one day o. I only
bought just one which I posted on Instagram.
So I don’t know where people got their own
story from. We have four cars in this house. I
also do not get it when people say we (artistes)
show off on social media.
“I mean if God has blessed me, there is no
reason to hide that. We are not showing off.
After all, everyone knows Inyanya’s story.
Whenever I post pictures of my cars or money
on Instragram, the public should understand
that it is just my own way of saying if God can
do it for me, He can for you too.”
He also tells us that he has very loyal fans
overseas, the evidence, he says, are the
constant sold-out shows.
“I am not half as appreciated in Nigeria as I am
overseas. I guess that is the many rewards that
‘Kukere’ has earned me within a short period
of time. The track is the most requested of all
my songs at home and abroad. The Soul Train
nomination was the icing on the cake for me, I
felt proud walking and sitting close to my role
models at the award ceremony. It was a life-
changing moment for me,” he says.
Judging by the manner in which he made
mention of Kukere at any given opportunity,
Inyanya explains that there is no way the track
can be separated from his success story.
“The truth is that I came up with Kukere to
make money because Nigerians were not
listening to RnB . See where it has gotten me
today,” he adds.
However, the singer with the ‘lover boy’ image
says things were initially not as rosy as they
appeared to be.
“I had to work harder because at some point
things were not moving well or fast for me. So
it took me five years to study the industry in
order to understand what people really wanted
or expected of me. I remember I would walk
on the street and people would ask me what
was going on, as regards my career, when in
reality I was doing RnB music but people were
not listening.”
Since he became the butt of jokes online after
he was romantically linked to controversial
actresses, Tonto Dikeh and Yvonne Nelson, the
singer appears to have learnt his lesson. But is
marriage in the cards for the star? “I’m
treading softly. I don’t know what you are
talking about o. I am not thinking about that
for now. I may sing Ukwu or Your Waist, it is
not because I am a bad boy. It is just what I am
inspired to sing at the time, mind you. I draw
my inspiration from God. Although I am
known for the raunchy songs, I am in fact a
very deep and well grounded musician,” he
boasts.
Inyanya admits that he never imagined that he
would become a star in no time. But unlike
some of his contemporaries, he is still not too
comfortable talking about his assets.
“I come from a very humble background and
have also struggled to be where I am. Since I
achieved nothing by my own strength or
might, I don’t think it is worth talking or
boasting about.
“I am also looking into investing in the oil and
gas sector in the New Year, because I feel
investment is key. Artistes must learn to invest
because the fame is temporary and sometimes
a façade. Truth is you will not always be in the
spotlight and you may become bankrupt if you
are careless with funds.”
Projecting into the new year, Inyanya has very
lofty dreams, saying, “My craft has no doubt
gotten better with time. I plan to remain true to
my culture and will also be releasing a single
in my native Efik language soon. I desire to be
one of Nigeria’s greatest music exports next
year.”

The West African Examinations Council,
WAEC, Thursday released its November/
December Senior Secondary School
Examination results.
Only 86,612 candidates, representing 29.17%
obtained credits in five subjects and above,
including English Language and Mathematics.
Announcing the results in Lagos, Head of
National Office, Mr Charles Eguridu said that
308,217 candidates registered for the Nov/Dec
2013 WASSCE. From the figure, he noted, 17
candidates, representing 20.73% obtained
credits in 5 subjects including English
Language and Mathematics.
Eguridu said: “Of the total of candidates that sat
the examination, 120,115 candidates,
representing 40.46%, obtained 6 credits and
above; 161,721 candidates representing 54.48%
obtained 5 credits and above.
In addition, 198,832 candidates, representing
66.98% obtained credits and above in four
subjects while 230,325 candidates representing
77.59 obtained Credits and above in 3 subjects.
A total of 256,500 candidates representing
86.41% obtained credits and above in 2
subjects.”
When compared to the November/December
2011 and 2012 WASSCE (Private) results,
Eguridu said, there is a marked decline in
candidates’ performance.
He said: “In 2011 a total of 139,827 candidates,
representing 36.07% obtained credits in 5
subjects and above including English Language
and Mathematics.
Also in 2012, a total of 150,615 candidates,
representing 37.97% obtained credits in 5
subjects including English Language and
Mathematics.”

Ululations over the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, calling off its five-month-
old strike have overtaken the damage the long-
drawn dispute has done to education.
How do we ensure that in the new year,
another ASUU strike does not occur?
What appears to be important is the fact that
the lecturers are returning to the classrooms.
Government is relieved that it has stopped the
embarrassing headlines of universities that
have lost five months of academic activities
while haggling over a 2009 agreement.
How important is education to the authorities?
How would the lost learning time be
recovered? What is the quality of certificates
the students would obtain after the long
absence from school?
ASUU’s refusal to call off the strike until
government produced proof of depositing the
money to meet its demands in the Central Bank
is another chapter in government’s relations
with ASUU. Other labour unions would adopt
the same measures in resolving own issues.
Government has failed to gain the trust of
labour unions. When the Academic Staff
Union Polytechnics, ASUP, went on strike,
government did not speak to the union for
three months. The issue remains partially
resolved. Governments sign agreements with
no intention of keeping them. The disputed
2009 agreement is due for re-negotiation, yet it
has not been implemented.
Our governments should change their policies
of planning for immediate needs. ASUU is not
the only labour union in education. Its strike
that took so long to resolve is not the major
challenge education faces.
At the foundational levels, challenges with
number and quality of teachers, teaching aids,
classroom space, learning environment, and
curriculum persist. The thinking that once the
universities are open, education is on the
proper ken is deceptive. Higher education is at
most vacuous when foundations at the
primary and secondary school levels are
ignored.
Governments urgently need to address these
issues as well as the bureaucracies in
education. They are wasteful; savings from
emerging them could release funds for core
education.
What are governments’ plans beyond
depositing N200 billion to end the ASUU strike?
How would they tackle sustainable funding to
stem another wave of strikes next year? Would
governments ever consider education
important enough that it should run without
disruptions?
Thousands of conferences held annually on
the future of education are mere talk sessions
that hardly improve education. When will the
changes be made? Do governments require
strikes to realise the importance of education?
What are governments’ plans for education?
Unions, which always consider the welfare of
their members as a first charge, cannot
determine the future of education.
Governments should provide sustainable
means for funding education, not to avoid
strikes, but to underline the importance of
education.

I wonder what's up with the educational sector of this our dear country...Prior to so many midnight meetings,ASUU called off its so-long-like-marathon strike after almost half a year.Then barely 48hours to the official announcement,the College Of Education Academic Staff Union(COEASU) steps into the footpath of ASUU,claiming they also have an unfinished business with the FG.I wonder if they can endure like ASUU did,I wonder if they can shake the nation like ASUU did,I wonder if they can occupy the headlines like ASUU did,I wonder if they can increase social network users like ASUU did and I wonder if they can be victorious on the longrun LIKE ASUU DID!!!GOD HELP NIGERIA!!!
