Abuja – The Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) and Nigeria’s largest broadcast network, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), has recently signed a landmark music copyright licensing agreement by which all FRCN stations across the country will immediately begin to pay royalties for the music and sound recordings they broadcast.
The agreement which was negotiated over the last one month ends more than three decades of rift between the Nigerian music industry and the government owned network.
At the agreement signing ceremony held at the Radio House Headquarters of FRCN, the corporations Director General, Barrister Yusuf Nuhu who signed on behalf of FRCN, expressed happiness that finally, the corporation has taken the bull by the horn and begun the process of ensuring the appropriate reward of creativity in Nigeria. He thanked COSON for the professional manner in which the negotiations were handled and praised the society’s Chairman, Chief Tony Okoroji for his uncommon doggedness and unwavering commitment to the cause of the Nigerian creative community.

The British student who died after jetting to America for an illegal 'butt enhancement' operation thought having a shapelier backside would make her a Hip Hop star.
Claudia Aderotimi, 20, believed a 'bigger booty' would help in her quest to appear in more music videos, her distraught friends have claimed.
One even revealed the aspiring dancer - stagename Carmella London - was dropped from one shoot because directors discovered she had been wearing padded trousers to help enlarge her bottom.
Talent scout Tee Ali, who met the university student when she filmed a video, told The Sun: 'She was a dancer and choreographer.
'The problem was she didn't have no butt, and she wanted a butt.
'She went to audition for one video shoot wearing fake booty pants and she got all the attention.
'But when they found out it was fake she didn't get asked back.'
He described her as a 'victim' of social pressure to be perfect and thought a larger bottom would make her famous.'
The Thames Valley University student developed chest pains and struggled for breath 12 hours after she had the illegal silicone injections at a budget hotel.
Accompanied by three friends, she travelled from London to Philadelphia for the treatment, thought to have been an early present to herself for her 21st birthday, which was due later this month.
But a day later she was dead.
Buttock enhancement surgery is becoming popular in the U.S., among women who aspire to the shapely curves of Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce.
It is only legal when the silicone gel is contained and sealed within an implant.But illegal injections of the material are also widely available from unlicensed back-room medics.
Last night one expert said having a direct injection of silicone gel – long outlawed in the U.S. and Britain, even for bosom surgery – is ‘like playing Russian roulette’.
One of Miss Aderotimi’s friends is said to have had the same procedure but survived. Experts warned the silicone could still prove lethal for her in the future if not removed.
Police have searched the homes of the two women ‘doctors’ who injected the silicone and are investigating whether they are part of an organised gang who lure the unwary over the internet.
Last night more than a dozen distraught friends and family gathered at Miss Aderotimi’s home in Hackney, East London.


She was taken to hospital but could not be saved.
A preliminary examination found the silicone filler had leaked into her bloodstream, leading to heart failure.
American detectives are investigating whether she was treated with cheap ‘industrial’ silicone, normally used as a sealant, rather than medical-grade material used in bosom implant surgery.
It was not the first time Miss Aderotimi had had the procedure.
She is believed to have been treated in November and the latest injection on Monday may have been a ‘top-up’ procedure.

Accompanied by three friends, she travelled from London to Philadelphia for the treatment, thought to have been an early present to herself for her 21st birthday, which was due later this month.
But a day later she was dead.

Her sister Vivian was in tears as she said: ‘We found out on Tuesday. We’re still in shock. We need to think about what we have to do.’
Miss Aderotimi’s mother, a healthcare assistant at Homerton Hospital in East London, said she was too upset to speak about her daughter’s death.
A neighbour said: ‘We are struggling to cope with what happened. One girl died and one girl lived.’
Miss Aderotimi and her friends flew out to the U.S. on Saturday.
She and another woman checked into room 425 at the Hampton Inn hotel, Philadelphia, a mile from the city’s airport, while her two other friends went to a party in New York. They paid around £100 for the room.
Miss Aderotimi had the buttock injections on Monday – thought to have cost around £1,300 – while her friend had the same procedure along with a hip enhancement treatment.
The ‘doctor’ who injected the silicone left soon after and was not there when Miss Aderotimi began complaining of chest pains.

Dressing to suit your body type:
Just because you saw it on fashion TV and it looked great on that model, doesn’t mean it’s going to look good on you, HELLO!!! Most models are a size zero!!! And the last time you were a size zero was what, ? When you were 5, ?!! Please, ! Seriously now, we need to know to dress to suit our body shapes. Some of us have broader shoulders, wider hips, slightly rounder tummies, shorter legs, etc, I mean like, only 2% of the whole world population have what is considered the “perfect body” which is moderately tall, with a balanced vertical body, an hour glass figure and an oval shaped face, The rest of us, including “yours truly”, wear the right clothes to achieve this illusion of perfection. Clothes are meant to hide your flaws not put them all out there for the world to see. Therefore if people can tell you have fat arms or a big tummy with your clothes on, then you’re not dressing right for your body type. If you’re unsure of what sort of clothes suit your body type, go online (cheaper) or look around for a body consultant. (Expensive).
