It is no longer news that Nigerian superstar and indigenous musician “Jaywon” has become talk of town since he dropped the most anticipated album of all time after four years which he titled “Oba Orin” meaning “King of music”.

The album has been getting reviews from different individuals both home and abroad.

But then, there’s a new thing in the pot! Jaywon is now a case study for the department of graphic design and digital art in the Prague College, a British university based in Czech Republic. A final year student in the school recently launched the study about his music in the center of Prague art gallery as her final school project with an exhibition that was attended by many dignitaries both from Czech and France as well as the Nigerian ambassador to Czech Republic and top lecturers in the university.

Below is what the student said about the recently launched study and her project character.


"My name is Markéta Jíchová and I study at the Prague College in the Czech Republic. As my final bachelor project I have chosen a great Nigerian singer Jaywon, who released a new album (Oba Orin). This project really impressed me and each song is very original and creative, that is why I tried to make something different and interesting. I designed and drew a different pattern for each song, because as I said every song is unique, so I tried to make the most original design.

I have also made the website which is functional with iTunes and with other social media, so that it can help the singer to be in touch with his fans. Last but not least I designed and made the corporate identity, fashion brand and logo. I am really excited about the whole project and I am glad that so many people are interested in it and even my school has taken him up as a case study and a course to be studied in the university."

- Keshi in defence of Mikel Obi.


2. “It’s football. Brazil lost 7-1 and we lost. Everybody is going to lose someday. We cannot win all the games all the time. To Nigerians, we say this kind of thing happens at times, this is football.’’

- Keshi after Nigeria lost 3-2 to Congo in AFCON qualifying match.


3. "I’m always criticized. Even if I win or draw, they will always criticize me. We don’t have the patience in my country. In every outing, they want to win at all cost. It does not make any difference when am criticized.

– Keshi after a Super Eagles loss.


4. “Ikechukwu Uche is not a player I have not seen play. Ike Uche’s problem is not about not knowing how to play football. His problem is that he wants to dictate how we play in the Super Eagles; he wants to tell us that the system we’re playing is not good.”

- Keshi unleash grievance on Ike Uche.


5. “I was with Ike Uche in South Africa during the African Cup of Nations in South Africa. I have no personal grudge against him. He is a good player. But not all good players play for their national team. If you are not a team player, you can’t play for me.”

8. “In Mali, they will never owe you. Your salary will hit your account before the end of every month. It was the same thing in Togo. Owing me up to seven months makes me feel I am not being appreciated.

- Keshi compares Togo and Mali.


9. "Before these players started playing football, I’ve made my money. They cannot give me money to satisfy my hunger. In the past, other coaches did it. I, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi can’t be bribed. You can’t bribe me. There is nothing you can use to entice me. Nobody has money to buy me because I’m well by God’s grace."

- Keshi reacts to accusation of bribery.


10. ‘’Messi is a blessing to football. You can’t take it away from him. There are other talented players in the Argentine team but I think that Messi is from another planet. Messi is from Jupiter.”
