King of night life, Shina Peller has officially declared his political ambition in a lengthy Instagram post moments ago.

Peller who runs the famous Quilox Night club in Lagos says, 'one thing I can say for certain is I will be actively involved in the political process going forward, I will no longer sit back and watch things go bad'.

Read his full post below...As we all know, election season in Nigeria is fast approaching and political gladiators are already building their war chests but the average young Nigerian is bothered less. It’s almost like a feeling of powerlessness and despair, most believe the processes have already been predetermined by the powers that be so why bother wasting time to get a voters card talk less of actually voting.

The common notion is that the candidate with the largest war chestwins and we have heard many tales of people selling their votes for less than a dollar and a bag of chips.

One thing is certain though nobody is happy with the state of Nigeria today, most people who know me can vouch for the fact that I have never been interested in politics andI have never had an eye for it, but with the level of decadence in the country today I have been forced to change my mind.

Speaking with Sunday Scoop, he said;“I just believe I became known as a musician earlier, that’s all.

According to him, all he wanted to do was make music for people around him.‘I never planned for this;I had no idea it would be like this. Some things would happen to some people and they would say it was dream come true.

In my own case, I didn’t even have any dream. I just wanted to make music for people around me to listen to. I just wanted to do what I loved and I was okay if it was just one person that would tell me my music touched his soul.

God decided to bless me and take my music all over the world, I am grateful for it’ he said.

According to him, when one becomes a gospel singer because ofthe money, he or she might get disappointed.If you are a gospel minister, you have to know you are in a ministry.If you are in it for the money, you may be disappointed.

It is not that you will not make money in the long run but that is not the focus, the focus is to preach the gospel of music through your music.

DMX, real name is Earl Simmons, agreed Thursday to plead guilty to a single count of evading taxes instead of going to trial on the 14 counts he was charged with, officials said.

The compromise reduces Simmons possible time in jail from 43 to five years in jail, based on sentencing guidelines.DMX was charged wtha "multi-year scheme to conceal millions of dollars" from the IRS for his alleged failure to file personal tax returns for several years.

DMX sold millions of records between 2002 and 2005, enough to amass a $1.7 million tax bill."By insisting to be paid in cash whenever possible and having royalty payments diverted to the accounts of financial surrogates, Simmons concealed hundreds of thousands of dollars of income from the IRS," Acting U.S. AttorneyJoon H. Kim said in a statement.Kim even sat in the back of the courtroom for a portion of the proceeding.

"No matter who you are or whatever fame you may have achieved, the law applies equally to all, and no one is exempt from the shared obligation to pay our taxes," Kim said.

Contrary to insinuations that Wizkid's latest hit,Manya was taken down from Youtube for other reasons, it has been revealed that, the video was taken off his Vevo and Starboy accounts due to his contract with Sony.

The contract allegedly places a limitation on the amount of local content he can release.
This might explain why he didn't release the video for Medicine featuring Flavour and Phyno,despite gushing over the video two months ago.

According to reports, the song, Manya is originally owned by producer, Mut4y of Legendury Beatz. It has now been removed from Wizkid's account where it had amassed over 1.5 million views in a week.
