The only reason, there's an industry is the millions of fans local and overseas who support and buy records - the industry lacks everything to qualify as one. J Martins thinks otherwise as she snapped at fans who recently tried to get across to him for an autograph at a public event in Switzerland, 'a bunch of fans you came to see him perform in Zurich Switzerland', a source informs. The event took place on 31. July 2010 in Club OH, Hohlstrasse 452 Zurich.

A Source with the compnay in charge of productions for the show informed: "he didn't appear like star from his dress code to glasses [sun shade]. He didnt recognised his fans and didn't say 'good bye'. Stage performance was zero despite the huge turn out of people but thanks to our publicity."

He went further to say: "I just think he is more interested in his money than fan base."

Due to J Martins disappointing event in Swiss, organizers are forced to give those present a 20% discoun,

Charly Boy has been arrested by the Nigeria Police in Abuja, a source just informed. Details are still sketchy but we have been informed He is arrested for breach of public peace and harassment of the Director-General of Nigerian Copyright Commission and still in police custody at press time.

Before his arrest today, Charly Boy’s recent actions have been nothing but a display of lawlessness and gangstarism as an ally of Mayo Ayilaran’s led MCSN – Musical Copyright Society Nigeria.

The arrest for Charly Boy might have been necessitated after several reported harassment attempt by Charly Boy and Mayo Ayilaran over refusal of the licence for MCSN by NCC. “It is important that the Nigerian people be reminded that the Mayo Ayilaran/ Charly Boy led Musical Copyright Society Nigeria (MCSN) first applied for approval to the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) in 1993 when Mr. Moses Ekpo was Director – General of the commission. Under Ekpo, NCC refused to approve MCSN based on issues bordering on the accounts and finances of the organization. MCSN rejected the verdict of the Commission and launched a never ending media attack on Ekpo until Mr. Ekpo left office. Ekpo’s successor, Mr. S.O. Williams on similar ground also refused to back the statutory approval of MCSN which resulted in MCSN unleashing a campaign of calumny against Mr. Williams until he died. Similarly, Mr. Williams’ successor, Professor Eyinna Nwauche also vehemently rejected the approval of MCSN. MCSN in 2004 used Charly Boy and his thugs to harass and hound Professor Nwauche leading to his withdrawal from the NCC. The successor to Professor Nwauche and present Director-General of NCC, Mr Adebambo Adewopo who himself was once a lawyer to MCSN, has also rejected the approval of MCSN. Once again, MCSN has hired Charly Boy to use thugs to hound, harass, intimidate and blackmail Adewopo. It is time Charly Boy and his MCSN gang are clearly told that Nigeria is a nation of laws.”, a statement by the Nigerian Music Industry Coalition read.

Earlier, MCSN had sued content users over payment of music co, http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/08/breaking-news-charly-boy-arrested-for-harassment-and-breach-of-public-peace/#comment-2805

Veteran movie director, Lancelot Imasuen is not be conjuring a script put together by friends, industry colleague mixed with a bit of imagination to entertain audience. The movie titled 'Ghetto Dream' is a memorial and tribute movie on the time and life of late rap artiste, Da Grin.

The movie powered by Stingomania Entertainment recruited Lancelot Imaseun as director and in a landmark move, he met with the father of the late rap artiste. Da Grin's father has given a nod to the biopic and his input on the life and times of his son is considered paramount to make the movie.

His father has been talking to the producer for very minimal fine tuning to the script so it would clearly and absolutely tell of the late artiste's life.

Speaking on the involvement of the late artiste's father, Lancelot Imasuen said, “I’m of the opinion that when you want to look into an epic work like this, talking about the deeds of some heroic deeds of some individual, you must be able to have more than enough to put on the table and all of that.”

The search for an actor to play the role of Da Grin is ongoing and the movie would feature both upcoming and established artistes and friends of the artiste.
'Ghetto Dream' will profile in a touching way the true life story and experiences of Dagrin: the development, struggles, breakthrough and death of Dagrin.

"Sauce Kid's African American Album Is The Best Hiphop Album This Year" Part One. http:///dYxxu

http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/08/sauce-kids-african-american-album-is-the-best-hiphop-album-this-year-part-one/


Eldee the don’s background still remains hiphop but his bid to be versatile put music from his last album more in the pop genre.Consequently putting Sauce Kid as the fore proponent of the best hiphop album since M.I.’s.

Sauce Kid recently released African American album might be the best hiphop album released tis year. A great record is a balance of lyricism [or witty, beyond average display of the idea] and mass appeal elements as best exemplified in M.I.’s talk abut it album.

The failing trick has been giving proof by the artiste that he is lyrical in the most conversative and passive way then record an album with the sole pursuit of mass appealing and full of uptempo tracks.

African American fairly balances the elements of a good record – Sauce Kid holds the reputation of ‘packing lyrical gems’ and his breezy tone would soothingly caress an umptempo beat.

A.A. begins with the funny proclamation which interpretes as ’still hunger even after tiredless work’ on the track ‘keep it pushing’ produced by Eldee the don. The lacklustre track is reflective and tells of unbridled spirit. Sauce Kid’s creative process is frightening, next on the album is a collaboration with 9ice. (ice only appears in the third verse, he breaks the protocol and save 9ice the trouble of taking the hook. “Elenu” featuring 9ice was followed by a long snippet of “Bang Around Here” which was also on his mixtape.

A.A. is not all about wordplaying or just and having too much fun. ‘Nejei’s song’ is a record for his daughter – he spoke of his failed relationship with her mother of his daughter whose name is Nejei. Umptempo and party starying records follow back to back, ‘Under G’ produced by Don Jazzy and ‘Sinzu is sinzu’ where Eldee the don made up for ‘keep it pushing’ – both tracks delivered mainly in yoruba, http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/08/sauce-kids-african-american-album-is-the-best-hiphop-album-this-year-part-one/

AQ addresses Jesse Jagz and Ruggedman Comment/ Purported Feud, Release A Record/Song To Collaborate.

“I was just calling it as i saw it, dude uses autotune and he uses it well, so why all fuss” A-Q said,A-Q released his recent single ‘names’ earlier in the year and reports of feud with Jesse jagz and Ruggedman followed. “We don’t say autotone, we say Jesse Jagz’ track [and] we don’t say whack, we say Ruggedman’s back”, A-Q rapped in the third verse for the single ‘names’.
“I’d say it as it is but it is all love”, the outspoken rap artiste said.

A-Q’s recording career started in 2001 when he released the reportedly controversial ‘(W)rap Up Nigeria’ track off his debut ‘Listen and Overstand’ LP. Ever since, he has worked with several fast rising artistes and producers from Morachi, Terry Tha Rapman, Laylow, Sossick, Frenzy to Kraft. His last record was ‘Love and Money’ mixtape which featured Terry Tha Rapman, Morachi and several other fast rising artistes. The Mixtape remains the very first compilation to parade premium production from Sossick, Frenzy, Laylow, Kraft and it was given to fans free of charge.

“What we have on the track is my very honest opinion on what I thought of Jesse Jagz and Ruggedman” AQ, born Gilbert Usen said about the track. “As much as I am a rap artiste, I’m still a fan but I have never being a fan of Ruggedman, clearly I wouldn’t say he is dope and for [Jesse] Jagz, I totally didn’t diss him – he sings better than he raps. He has been singing half the time he raps and he does it with a vocoder/autotone, It was a very plain comment. “” he added.

“If it makes any difference, let me say I dance to hi, http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/07/aq-i-didnt-diss-jesse-jagz-but-i-would-keep-dissing-ruggedman/

It has been quite a challenge for fans of the comedienne, broadcaster and event host Helen Paul to see her as a married woman. The theatre art maverick got married earlier in the year but fans still mistake her for a kid, no thanks to her comic character on radio and her petite frame/stature.

Helen Paul, who is in her late 20s broke out as a ‘naughty’ comic character of Lagos based FM Station Radio continental 102.3. Her fans’ challenge has got her to suffer and bear the afflictions her utterances has got her into with fans who phone in and listen to her show.

“Many people don’t actually know the difference between you when on stage and on the street”, she complained recently. Trying to explain how it is all an act. “Some people, instead of just greeting you, go as far as slapping you and you may not be in the right mood to endure that“, She said. While some slap her, others treat her like a kid: “while some will just say ‘Hey tatafo, come here!’. Some even pull my ear, forgetting that I am not a kid”.

Being a big player in the movie or nightlife sector doesn’t give you right to flaunt the rules and get away with it and so did the security at Black and White Ball put together by softsell print Encomium Weekly did act. Ken Caleb Olumese of Nightshift Coliseum, Actor Saheed Balogun, Bacchus Nightclub chief Frank Okamigbo were among the celebrities bounced and denied entry into The Encomium Black and white Ball for their refusal to comply with the dress code. EVery effort to get in by ‘recognition’ failed as the bouncers working with the directives from the Publisher stayed adamant – you are dressed in white or black or you hit the road back home. Nothing Ken Caleb Olumese of Nightshift Coliseum, Saheed Balogun and Frank Okamigbo did got them inside. The 25th June event took place at Darlington Hall, Ilupeju and the sceurity and bouncers denied every individual who failed to appear at the venue in white and black including celebrities…,
The absence of two Night club owners didn’t see a limit in the bottles of Champagne and cognac made available to guest – the event was star studded like previous editions.

Namibia’s Meryl has been having a blast, if I say so myself which might be alright and dokey as there aren’t enough women for all eight men in the Big Brother Africa all star House. 24-year-old Meryl from Namibia is jumping from one man to another.

Just three days in the house, Meryl has bonded with Nigeria’s Uti, 27, Munya, 24, from Zimbabwe, and Ghana’s 35-year-old Sammy B.

There are only six women in this season’s Big Brother Africa All Stars reality show.

In the previous four seasons, Biggie had an equal number of men and women.

At 1am, Meryl cried her eyes out while resting her head on Uti’s lap. Uti had his arms wrapped around her.

She has already declared she’s got the hots for Uti, Munya and Hannington, 24, from Uganda. Malawi’s Code, 34, took up his guitar and started serenading his house-mates, who sang and danced.

Tatiana looked deep into Code’s eyes as he played the guitar and maybe, just maybe, Code has stolen her heart with his music.

Just before 10am yesterday, Meryl treated Sammy B to a free lap dance.

Wearing a yellow vest and a blue and black kanga, she shook her booty in Sammy B’s face. Blindfolded, he could not help but smile as he kissed and caressed her booty. He groaned in excitement and had a smile on his face long after the dance had ended.

Two hours later, Meryl’s claws were on Munya, giving him a back massage before taking a shower with him. She gently rubbed body lotion on his back. Munya was in sev, http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/07/big-brother-all-stars-update-meryl-jumping-from-one-man-to-another/

Sauce Kid’s African American debut album would come first. The album would be released on the 30th of July, The 20 tracker album is said to have “something for everyone, from infectious grooves to serious mood music, from wordplay to rhyme skills, its all here and in Sauce Kid Nigerian Hip Hop has another contender for the throne, let the people decide, we already know his talent and cannot wait to share his album with the world.” Also releasing an album is Stingomania’s Trybson.Trybson’s Dudukoko would release his debut album on the 8th of August.
The duo of So Kleva and Soul Snatch who make up the rooftop MCs plan an album release for mid-august. The album would be titled ‘Back at One’. Unlike the Rooftop MCs album where fusion of different genre is expected, 2 Shotz’s long awaited album ‘I Am William’, a rap album with a commercial edge would drop in August. With singles like ‘Oyoyo’ featuring YQ, and with collaborations with Jesse Jags, M.I and more, it seems like 2Shotz fifth album is set to find a footing in the mad competitive hip hop scene.

Dipp.

Another august album is Terry Tha Rapman’s Boiz are not smilin album.An assembly of creative talents like Sound Sultan, M.I, Kefee, Mode 9, Mo’Cheddah, Pherowshuz, Cartiair and Terry G on the track titled ‘Ojoro’ with producers like – Jay Sleek, XO and E-twins would be on parade in The Hip Hop World Award 2010 Best Rap Single winner’s album.

The 15 tracker album would be in stores in the last quarter of 2010 with productions from Wole Oni, JB, Kraft and Etcetera himself and collaborations with Jb and labelmate rap artiste OD. We are informed that the album was recorded with all instrumentals played live.

Star actress Omoni Oboli and Hollywood actor Sam Sarpong have been ordered by the US immigration to leave the country by voluntary departure. They decide to leave; but only after Omoni, who is five months pregnant delivers their baby in the US so the child would be a citizen by birth. They go into hiding only for Paul to be caught and deported by Immigration officers led by agent Mark Castello played by Michael Scratch. Omoni is then left to struggle for survival, she met Terri Oliver’s character Susan Backley. Mrs Backley is a freelance writer who offers to help her with free accommodation until her baby is born. With the help of Susan, Omoni sets out on the most daring journey of her life; to achieve the “American Dream” for her unborn child. She will try by any means necessary.

Britain’s tabloid press has gone gaga over a baby girl with white skin, blue eyes and a mop of blond curls who was born to black parents.

The best-selling Daily Mail and The Sun newspapers have labeled the child’s Caucasian complexion a mystery, saying genetics experts are “flummoxed” by the case. But is the birth of a white baby to a dark-skinned couple really as baffling as the papers claim?

Ben and Angela Ihegboro were certainly confused when nurses at Queen Mary Hospital in Sidcup, 10 miles southeast of London, last week presented them with their daughter Nmachi — whose name means “beauty of God” in the Nigerian couple’s homeland.

Father Ben told The Sun that when he first saw the porcelain-skinned infant he jokingly cried out, “What the flip? Is she mine?” But he never doubted whether he was Nmachi’s real dad. “Of course she is mine. My wife is true to me,” he said. “Even if she hadn’t been, the baby wouldn’t have looked like that!”

Albinism would have been the most obvious explanation for Nmachi’s pale looks. But, according to a hospital spokesperson, the obstetrician who delivered Nmachi told the family that doctors suspected the newborn wasn’t an albino because she didn’t have the pink eyes and white hair traditionally associated with the condition.

That initial hunch has led many to ponder why Nmachi was born white. Some experts have suggested that Ben and Angela might both be carrying light-skin gene variants, passed down from long-dead white ancestors. When Nmachi was conceived, she would have inherited both sets of pale-skin genes, giving her a white complexion.

“We are all of us genetic mixtures to some extent, and occasionally you’ll have a convergence of the pale versions of these genes in African-Americans and African-Caribbeans who have a mixed black and white ancestry,” Bryan Sykes, professor of human genetics at the University of Oxford, told the BBC.

However, both Ben and Angela, who moved to the U.K. five years ago, deny having white ancestors.

“My mum is a black Nigerian, although she has a bit fairer skin than mine,” said Ben, who has two other black children with Angela: son Chisom, 4, and daughter Dumebi, 2. “But we don’t know of any white ancestry.”

And while this sort of interracial mixing may have been common in long-established multiethnic communities like those found in the Caribbean, it’s unlikely to have occurred in a historically black country like Nigeria.

Those factors have led Sykes to argue that the little girl’s pale skin is caused by an unusual genetic mutation, which she could eventually pass on to her own children. But other experts believe there’s a much simpler explanation: Nmachi is an albino, and the first doctor who said she wasn’t had it wrong. The Queen Mary Hospital spokesperson says this is a possibility, noting that that doctor is an expert in obstetrics, not genetic disorders.

The confusion over Nmachi’s condition is likely because many people believe all albinos exhibit similar symptoms.

Amstel Malta’s Next Movie Star reality show queen was lucky to have a chance to break out as an actress – what she has always loved with a degree in Banking and Finance. One thing She is yet to be lucky with is to have the man of her dreams propose to her.

Regarding jobs and getting movie roles, she said: “Basically, my challenge borders on people not appreciating my talent and looking just at the physical things. What I mean by this is that when people approach me, they say, “Okay, you won the NMS in 2006; so, what about that? Go and meet those who made you a winner to give you a job.” But I wish they could realize that we got into the competition to showcase our talents and for people to appreciate us. Unfortunately, most people prefer to use the old actors to the green ones. This is one of the challenges we are facing in the industry. It’s been hard getting jobs… I have not really got my feet down in the industry,”

She started out as a performer with her younger sister and they were known as ‘Da girls’ then she nurtured ambitions of going overseas and being a professional dancer but she went with a friend of hers, Eunich Philips to an audition in Abuja and by chance she got the part for a minor role / ‘waka pass’ in 2003, in the movie titled Fatal seduction, directed by Tchidi Chikere but in 2006, she caught wind of Next Movie Star and gave it a shot, eventually emerging as the winner.

Actor/Producer Saheed Balogun is informed to have finally gotten over his affair with estranged wife, Fathia Balogun. The two went their separate ways three years ago for reasons said to be irreconcilable [following accusation and counter accusation of infidelity and irresponsibility] but the actor has been unable to keep another relationship. Moves where reported to have been made to reconcile them with reports of Former governor of Lagos State, Ahmed Bola Tinubu and wife trying on several occasions to reconcile the two but Fathia was said to have rebuffed all entreaties. Remi Adiukwu also made moves as godmother of Saheed to see to it that the two got back together. Her effort was in vain.

They have been separated for that long and before now, none of them has confirmed reports of moving on into an affair that fueled speculations that they were both still in love, http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/07/saheed-balogun-finally-gets-over-fathia-and-romances-funke-adesiyan/

http://questionmarkmag.com/2010/07/big-brother-africa-returns-with-shower-hour-for-fifth-season/


Source inform that followers of Africa’s biggest TV reality show, Big Brother Africa (BBA), might be in for a new thrill with the return of the controversial shower hour, which will be subject to the subscribers’ choice.

The 5th BBA will commence immediately after the 2010 World Cup fiesta is over with the golden prize of USD 200,000 once again up for grabs.

Speaking on the coming event, M-Net’s Africa Managing Director, Biola Alabi, said, “What a great moment this is- to bring back a show that our audience loves for an incredible 5th time. We wanted Season 4 (Big Brother Revolution) to be special, but it exceeded our hopes. With the volume of interactions the show received from fans, it was clear that Season 5 was definitely on the cards. So, we’ve been developing what we believe will be thrilling new format changes.”

This new season will begin on July 18, and will be screened live for 91 days on DStv Channel 198 for DStv Premium and Compact subscribers. She further said, “We want to invest more broadly in Season 5. And having already been introduced to a world of interesting characters from previous searches, there’s limited value in spending extensively in another search for contestants. We’ll still be looking for entertaining persons with a sense of humor, a love of adventure and the ability to enjoy the very exciting Big Brother experience. In the past, we’ve spent widely to find contestants in 14 countries. This year, we’re using these funds to develop a gutsy new series, recreating the house in a very different way and focusing on putting new technology into place.”

Nigerian television and Rhythm FM Lagos on-air personality , I.K. Osakioduwa would be the host for a second time. I.K. also known as Wildchild also the host for Comedy Club- Live In Lagos and a correspondent for Studio 53, is a familiar face to DStv viewers and a long-time fan of the Big Brother series.

Kevin Chuwang won the Big Brother Revolution 4 taking with him the US Dollars 200,000 cheque plus US Dollars 2,700 which he still had in his money pot courtesy of Big Brother.

Meanwhile, this year contestants will once again be drawn from 14 countries – Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tan,
