IYABO AINA
What’s the secret of your success story in
pursuing your musical career?
The secret of my success is originality.
Right from day one, I knew that if I try to
be original, the sky would be my limit. But
I know it’s going to take some time before
that dream would become a reality. This
is because nothing good comes that
easily.
I work so hard to sound so original in my
music. Right from when I released my first
album, there has been a tremendous
improvement in my music. And this time
around, I had enough funds to do better
videos which has distinguished my style
from other artistes. Africans as a whole
love originality, even though some might
pretend about it .
If you are original in whatever you are
doing today coupled with being down-to-
earth, you will get to anywhere you want
to. That has been the secret of my
success. I began my career as a drummer
for a local church in my home state,
Enugu State.
What has actually kept you going till
today ?
Having passion for what I’m doing. I have
so much passion for music. I started
singing at the age of 13. I went to the right
source because I had some companies
that gave me a scholarship as a way of
encouraging me. They trained me in music.
They believed in me becoming as a rising
musician then.
The director always tell us that people
used to regard musicians as irresponsible
and wayward people. People who squander
all their money on women and cars while
trying to live a flamboyant lifestyle. If you
are talented, you need to work hard to give
back to the society. That has been my
driving force. People now see me as a
responsible person and an example to the
young ones.
I have to keep my head low and stay
humble and keep doing what I am doing
well. So, the passion has kept me going.
Initially, when I started, I didn’t care
whether I had some money in my pocket or
not. I was just doing it for the love of
music. But I wanted to get somewhere.
Where do you draw your inspiration from ?
I draw my inspiration from people around
me, especially things that happen around
me I like when things go bad and when
things go good because it doesn’t have to
be good all the time.
So, all I do is to keep focus and balance
the two situations that come my way. And
sometimes friends around me inspire me
even when my family were against my
keeping too many friends, I still get close
to them making them know that they are
very important to me. To me, I think as a
musician you should have a story to
tell .Things around me inspire my kind of
music .
Glo endorsed you recently. How do you
feel about the endorsement ?
It’s something great, it’s not only Glo I still
have a lot of awards both within and
outside the shores of the country . Glo
endorsement is a wonderful opportunity ,
it’s good to associate with big brands and
it’s also good for big brands to recognize
big artiste and not to just use the person
to build up a platform.It’s something nice
and I am enjoying the relationship, the
tour , interviews and the photo shoot; I am
enjoying everything.
Can you share some of the pains and
gains of becoming a celebrity ?
Let me start with the pains because it’s the
bigger part of the challenges we face as
celebrities . The painful part of it is that we
go through a lot and people don’t know
and they don’t even care to know.
They just want to see you up there so what
we go through as artistes every day is
unimaginable. Even when you get to meet
your fans , the way some of them will
approach you is something else . Then the
challenge of being on top of your game;
But if you know what you are doing the
pains will become a blessing and a
watchword for you.
You have to take so many things away
from you , you don’t live your normal life
again though not everyone. But left for me,
I am free spirit. I want to wake up and
walk around the street buy something that
I want.
Sometimes you will want to have fun alone
but you won’t be able to do so because
other people will want to associate with
you; you don’t have to chase them away
because they are coming because they
love your music even the once with bad
intention you have to show them love and
accommodate them.
Meanwhile, achieving my dreams and
getting to where I want today remains part
of the gains . I am also, not relenting on
efforts. My work just keeps going and I
have so many things to do and also
achieve .
What are you working on presently ?
Presently, I have been performing almost
every weekend. People invite me to
perform at different shows and I’ve been
working everyday, there is no day that
pass I don’t have something to do. I like
surprises, and I also like to look at the
market and know where I can make my
impact. There are also different
businesses I have been doing with some
cooperate bodies .
We learnt you are coming up with a reality
show. What is it all about ?
Yes, it’s not that much. Iam just planning
to come out with something very soon.
However, I need to put everything in place
before I can talk about it.
How have you been able to compete with
other top artistes in the industry ?
If you have your own style , you just need
to stick to it; be very versatile and at the
same time, original because every now and
then, new artistes keep emerging from the
blues. You need to maintain the tempo.
The hardest part of the job is not to come
up with a hit , but to be there and keep
giving them the hit till when you retire .
The drive is to just keep on doing what
you are doing well and going deep into it .
And always source for ideas , look for
different things , know your market and
the people that are looking up to you.
What they think about your work .
For me, I havemade a lot of findings
outside the shores of Nigeria. So, that
alone makes it difficult because you are
not just looking at the crown but also, you
are looking at Africa at large. From Africa,
you can hit the international stage.
Doing collaboration with other artistes is
what is in vogue in the industry. In your
own case, what are the conditions and
things do you look out for before
accepting to do collaboration with fellow
artistes ?
I look out for somebody I can work with,
and not someone that just want me to
bless his song so that it will just be my
glory. There are few artistes in Nigeria who
can really release some good stuffs . In
every song, I’m collaborating with any
artiste, I always try to bring in something
new. I bring my creative ingenuity to bear
in every song I’m featuring in.
The truth is that I must always try to bring
in something commercial; something I
know the fans and lovers of music would
embrace and hold unto. I spend quality
time thinking about the listeners and I
keep trying to put myself in their shoes. I
always ask myself, what are the fans going
to hold unto in this song, even if it’s just a
word or phrase?
So, I keep looking out for such word or
phrase. I have to create that unique ‘word’
or ‘phrase’. There is no way you will sing
and be appreciated if you don’t appreciate
your fans and put them into consideration
while composing a song. If you don’t
consider them you would end up singing
and satisfying yourself instead of your
fans.
So, what I bring to the table is the key
factor in the success of most of my
collaborations. But the essence of
collaboration is to see two different artistes
combining their styles. You tap into my fan
base while I also tap into yours. For
instance, Omawumi is good; she was the
first runner up in the 2007 edition of West
African Idols.
She is doing well in the music scene and
has done good songs. So, in the song,
Bottom Belle, she brought in something
new while I also did. The same thing
applies to other collaborations I have done
with other artistes.
Do you have a price tag for doing
collaborations with other artistes?
It depends on the relationship I have with
the person. The only artiste I ask to pay me
for collaboration is the person I stand to
gain nothing else apart from the money.
But if you have a fan base, you don’t have
to pay me. I tap into your fan base while
you also tap into mine. Except if you don’t
know what you are doing and you need me
to fly, then that is where I will ask you to
pay me.
Many celebrities are faced with one
scandal or the other. How have you been
able to stay away from controversy?
It’s only God that knows the secret. I’m not
better than other musicians just as they
are not better than myself. No artiste that
ever set out to be faced with scandals. It’s
always people around them that fan some
of these scandals.
But the issue is that I try to stay away from
trouble. For instance, I don’t even go to
clubs. Anything I want to do something, I
do it in the comfort of my house. I party
inside my house. I do my recording inside
my house. When you start mingling and
partying with everybody in different places
that is where one or two things would start
to emerge.
I’m either here in my house or in my
second house in the Island. When you
mingle much with people, at times you
start trusting people that are not supposed
to be trusted. You start having divided
attention. You would take a picture and
make joke with it and tomorrow it’s all over
the newspapers and internet.
So, the question is Who did it? Is it not
someone you trusted? That’s how it
happens . Nobody knows what will happen
tomorrow, you just have to guide yourself
in anything you are doing.
We also heard you proposed to your
girlfriend?
People will always talk and turn around
stories. But I am still single because
marriage is not my priority for now. I still
want to hit the top before thinking about
marriage. It’s not yet time. I am still
concentrating on my music.
It was once rumoured that you were dating
Tiwa Savage after doing a collaboration
with her. Was it true?
I didn’t feel bad when I heard about the
rumour because I knowpeople will always
talk even if we didn’t kiss. While shooting
the music video, the director came to us
and said, you guys are playing love scene,
you need to do something intimate. He
urged us do it, and I now looked at Tiwa
and she gave me a go ahead and I said
‘yes’ we can do it. There was nothing
wrong with that. More over, we did music
with passion.

Obasanjo/Iyabo feud: Why we
won’t intervene— Yoruba elders
on december 20, 2013 at 12:31 am in news
Iyabo Obasanjo and Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo
BY CLIFFORD NDUJIHE, OLA AJAYI, DAYO
JOHNSON, GBENGA OLARINOYE & DAPO
AKINREFON
Suggestions that Yoruba elders will
intervene in the feud between former
President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and
his daughter, Iyabo, were yesterday ruled
out as prominent leaders from the South-
West said they would not mediate.
In ruling themselves out from brokering an
end to the face-off between father and
daughter, the elders affirmed that it was a
family feud which was best left to insiders.
However, Second Republic Senator and
Yoruba leader, Senator Ayo Fasanmi called
on the National Assembly to probe the
issues raised against Obasanjo by his
daughter.
Among other Yoruba leaders who
commented on the feud yesterday were
Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti;
Afenifere stalwart, Chief Ayo Adebanjo;
Second Republic Minister of Justice and
Attorney-General, Chief Richard Akinjide
(SAN), and one time leader of the Alliance
for Democracy, Senator Mojisoluwa
Akinfenwa.
Group supports Iyabo
Also yesterday, support came the way of
Senator Iyabo Obasanjo from a group,
Foundation for Ethnic Harmony in Nigeria,
FEHN, which said that the former senator
and first daughter should not be
castigated based on the fact that she
knows her father more than many other
commentators.
The feud between father and daughter
came to public knowledge upon an open
letter to Obasanjo from Iyabo exclusively
published by Vanguard last Wednesday.
In the letter, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo
described her father as a liar, wife beater,
manipulator, two-faced hypocrite, who
orchestrated a third term plot in office
despite denials to the contrary.
It’s their problem— Fasoranti
Speaking on the squabble, leader of the
Yoruba socio-political group Afenifere,
Chief Fasoranti, yesterday, said the group
has no business in the family matter that is
tearing Obasanjo’s family apart.
He said: “I do not think we will like to
intervene in it because it is between the
father and the daughter. They know
themselves.
“If it was done in bad taste, that is their
problem. It shows how they relate with
themselves at home. We have no business
mediating in their private matter.
“Let them settle their quarrel themselves.
No Yoruba leader would interfere in the
Obasanjo/daughter quarrel. It is their
family matter and it has nothing to do with
Nigeria.
“There are other pressing national matters
to attend to than the Obasanjo/daughter
crisis. So, there is nothing we as elders can
say or do.”
It’s for NASS—Fasanmi
Another Yoruba elder, Senator Ayo Fasanmi
who described the rift between the former
President and his daughter as a very
sensitive issue, said he would not support
Yoruba elders dabbling into the matter.
Speaking on telephone in Osogbo
yesterday, Fasanmi said Senator Iyabo
Obasanjo’s letter to her father was very
indicting.
He said the cross fire between the father
and his daughter was a matter that cannot
be swept under the carpet, but should be
thoroughly investigated by prominent
leaders in the country, including members
of the National Assembly.
He said: “The National Assembly should as
a matter of urgency set up a panel
comprising prominent members of the
assembly to investigate all the weighty
allegations made by Iyabo Obasanjo in the
interest of the nation.
“There must not be a cover up in the
matter. It bothers on morality and integrity
of Obasanjo and Nigerians deserve the
right to know the truth of the matter as a
leader in his (Obasanjo) own right.”
Fasanmi also urged Nigerians not to blame
Iyabo Obasanjo, saying “Obasanjo wrote
an open letter to President Goodluck
Jonathan recently.
“If he has the right to do so, I believe Iyabo
also has the right to write to her father and
advise him on the right thing to do.”
However, he stated that he would not
support Yoruba elders intervening in the
current impasse between Obasanjo and his
daughter, saying that it was strictly a
family and an internal affair, which needs
to be handled at the family level.
A family matter— Adebanjo
Also, Afenifere stalwart, Chief Ayo
Adebanjo, who spoke with Vanguard on the
telephone, said it was a family matter
which needs no outsider intervention.
Adebanjo said: “What are you intervening
in a family matter for? The girl is saying
what she is experiencing with her father,
what do you want to dispute there?
“I believe it is purely a family matter.
Another thing is that, as far as I am
concerned, it shows how unfortunate
Nigeria has been to have had the type of
person that has ruled us for 10 years.”
Olu Falae, Akinjide, Akinfenwa
On his part, former Minister of Finance,
Chief Olu Falae said: “Well, it is a family
matter between a father and daughter.
“As far as I am aware, there is no room for
anyone getting involved in a family matter.
It is a pure family matter which we know
nothing about.”
When Vanguard called Chief Richard
Akinjide (SAN), and asked if Yoruba elders
should intervene, the former Minister of
Justice said emphatic ‘No’ without giving
further explanation.
Also, Chief Mojisoluwa Akinfenwa, another
respected Yoruba leader simply said it is a
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, affair and
would not want to say anything about it.
He said: “It is the internal crisis of PDP. Let
them settle it as a family problem.”
However, a chieftain of the PDP, Senator
Lekan Balogun said although he and Chief
Obasanjo were not best of friends, he felt
the crisis between father and daughter
should not be allowed to aggravate.
He said: “We will do our best. I will try and
talk to Iyabo first and then her father. We
cannot sit down and watch the issue to
degenerate. “It is only Chief Obasanjo and I
who are not best of friends but I will call
Iyabo.”
‘Obasanjo’s letter to Jonathan worse’
Meanwhile, as reactions continued to trail
Senator Iyabo Obasanjo’s letter to her
father, Chairman of the Foundation for
Ethnic Harmony in Nigeria, FEHN, Mr. Allen
Onyema, said Iyabo should not be
castigated because “she knows her father
more than anyone else.”
Onyema, who said that Obasanjo’s 18-
page letter to President Goodluck Jonathan
last week was capable of whipping up
sentiments that can lead to civil war, added
that Nigerians do not need Iyabo’s letter to
know that Obasanjo “has nothing to offer
Nigeria now than instability.”
Onyema said: “The man was playing with
treason. Imagine an old man trying to whip
up sentiments that can lead to war.
“Obasanjo’s public letter to President
Jonathan is absurd because he did worse
things when he was President.”

It surprises me how many of you here is backing Man city to progress to the QF ahead of Barca, that man city beat Arsenal 6-3 does not mean they have what it takes to do the same to Barca. sure man city is a great team no doubt, but this is CL not Epl, Feb is still 2months ahead, watch out the great Barca with Messi mesmerizing teams, it will not be easy for Barca but experience will surely count on their favour. Barca till Nigeria become World power.

Obasanjo’s letter to Jonathan
splits Reps
on december 16, 2013 at 12:23 am in news
By Soni Daniel, Regional Editor, North
The controversial letter by former
President, Olusegun Obasanjo, to President
Goodluck Jonathan is causing a sharp
division in the House of Representatives.
Vanguard learnt that while lawmakers
sympathetic to Jonathan wanted the letter
to be formally tabled and discussed in
plenary and to caution Obasanjo for
disparaging the President, legislators
opposed to Jonathan do not want the
matter brought up.
Findings showed that the letter by
Obasanjo had rekindled the bitter feud
between loyalists of Jonathan and those
opposed to him in the House.
A source told Vanguard that when the anti-
Jonathan lawmakers heard that the letter
might be discussed at plenary, they
quickly mobilised to forestall the move,
arguing that since the missive was from a
former president to an incumbent, there
was no need to dissipate energy on it
since it was not officially addressed to
them.
The anti-Jonathan lawmakers, however,
drew the attention of the leadership to
what they termed ‘germane issues’ raised
by Obasanjo in his communication to
Jonathan and the need for him to address
them in the interest of the nation.
A lawmaker’s words
One of the lawmakers said: “What
Obasanjo wrote to Jonathan clearly
vindicates the position of the House of
Representatives that Jonathan needs to
wake up and tackle the myriad of
challenges facing the nation, particularly
corruption and insecurity.
“We must tell the President the bitter truth
and enable him to take steps to move the
nation forward instead of playing to the
gallery.”
Pro-Jonathan meet
It was, however, learnt that pro-Jonathan
lawmakers, who had been strategising on
how to humiliate the former president for
writing what they considered ‘an offensive
and uncouth letter’ to an incumbent
President, met on Sunday and decided on
how to effectively tackle him for his
‘indiscretion’.
A crucial meeting of some pro-Jonathan
lawmakers took place, yesterday, in
Asokoro, Abuja, during which they
discussed the Obasanjo letter in detail and
decided on what step to take.
A lawmaker, who is close to Jonathan,
however described Obasanjo’s letter to
Jonathan as an insult and an attempt by
him to distract the President from focusing
on his mandate to Nigerians.
“We will insist that the matter be tabled
and action taken, at least to caution the
former president against his wanton
vituperations against the President of
Nigeria,” one lawmaker threatened, last
night.
House Media C’ttee
However, Chairman, House Committee on
Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Zakari
Mohammed, said that the members were
not considering discussing the
controversial letter, since it was not
addressed to the House.
Mohammed said that the matter could not
be listed for consideration since Obasanjo
did not direct the missive to the lawmakers
in the first place.
