wow...guilty as charged. However, this article creates an impression or stereotype of Nigerians in other countries as most likely involved in drug dealing. I understand the gravity of the offense of the murdered victim; however, mob justice is not the answer. The Goa police and authorities should have been the one to step in and control the situation. Dutta wants to discuss the involvement and activities of Nigerians in other foreign soil and how the officials did not react to the death of previous Nigerians? It's one action that gains media's attention and the public's eye that paints the overall picture - raising the names of other victims from the grave.
I don't believe that the removal of Indians from Nigeria is the solution; neither is pointing fingers and using statistics as support the answer - any publicist can do that. My point is that the leaders that are appointed are there for a reason; they should step up and do their job. To emphasize one of the few points that I agree with Dutta on: "the joint agreement has proven to be a dead letter." The two countries should work on creating an active agreement that works to reduce drug trafficking, no matter what foreigner or national brings it in.

Yes o! I deserve to be signed to a music record label too! Don't tell me nonsense! lol

How many times have you seen someone sing on your favorite musical talent show and you say to yourself "I can definitely sing better than this person"? Quite a number of times I suppose. The funny part is that some of these contestants come with friends, families, and fans who lie to tell them about how amazing their voices are. What a wicked world! Sebi dem say monkey no fine but im mama like am (the monkey isn't pretty but the momma monkey likes her).

In 2008 a bunch of untalented fresh college grads and a learner semi-pro producer got together and made some good noise music. We would stay up all night in Kumani's (the producer) room studio making "confam" hits - in our rookie minds. This was about the time 9ice's Gongo Aso was starting to get airplay. During those times in the studio, I discovered that I'm a natural Fuji singer...LOL

I was digging through YouTube when I remembered a song I was featured on back in 2008. I know I had the potentials but I soon retired after making so much money from music and raking in all the endorsements (if you believe this, I have a land to sell to you in Pluto).

Listen to the track titled "Find a Way" and tell me if I don't deserve to be signed. I no worse pass some of the professional singers now.

Oya loud it! lol

Over the years, Beyoncé has managed to stay relevant in the music industry with several top charting songs beginning with her days with the group Destiny's Child till date. She's definitely going to be around for a long while.

A 25-year-old woman and a 26-year old man from Michigan were accused and arraigned on Wednesday on charges of child sexually abusive activity and using a computer to commit a crime after the woman allegedly offered her 4-year-old daughter to the man for money.

According to reports, Jennifer Marie Brys of Warren, Michigan connected with Edward Cody Reardon via a prostitution ad she placed on the site Backpage.com, a site like Craigslist, with job posting, classified listings and includes listings for adult service (Craigslist no longer have an "adult service" section). Reardon soon changed his focus as soon as he found out Brys had a 4-year-old daughter.

In a text message, Edward requested that he shower with Brys' daughter, and he asked for a nude photo of the young girl. She sent him a clothed one with an agreement to be paid upwards of $300.

"When you look at the picture of this innocent little girl, and think about what her mother wanted to do with her, the mother who is supposed to protect her, it’s disgusting and disturbing," Warren Police Commissioner Jere Green said.

The police commissioner also told reporters that Reardon and Brys exchanged text messages about recruiting girls ages 7 to 12 and said he'd pay $600 for nude photos and to meet them.

Luck ran out on them when the child's father, Aaron Perry, found out about their plot a day before the meeting was suppose to happen. The police said Perry discovered the test messages on Brys phone and immediately called the authorities.

Brys and Perry have long separated and were involved in a child support case in 2009.

Bail was set at $500,000. But police don't think it's an isolated incident. According to the reports, officials set bond so high because Reardon was the subject of a current FBI investigation for potential similar crimes.

What would make a mother be willing to mess up her child's life for $300? Figuring it out is definitely above my pay grade.

It's good music season!

Shortly before Kcee's "Take Over" album was released today (you should get the album, lots of certified commercial jams), he released a remix for the monster track "Pull Over" which originally featured Wizkid.

This time, Kcee got Don Jazzy on the remix. When Don baba is involved, you already know what to expect.
This is a certified jam!

You should also watch the interesting video for the original Pull Over.

I am not one for making comparisons between artiste especially because everyone seems to approach music from the depths of who they are and the influences of their immediate environment. All I seek from listening to an artiste is to get a grasp of wellspring from which such music is coming from.

Ice Prince Zamani as he is popularly known among his fans just gave the whole world a piece from his wellspring of music titled "Fire Of Zamani"; the name of the album is said to be the name of his clothing line to; so business wise, Ice Prince seems to be doing well to expand his tentacles. The album has tracks that have already received wide air play as singles such as "Gimme dat", "Aboki", and "More"..... and then brand new additions like "Mercy", "Whiskey", "N-word" etc. We have some tracks produced by Sammy Gyang, and a particular track produced by "Don Jazzy" while the rest were produced by "Chopstix".
Much for introduction, lets move on!!!

1. Stars and Light Ft Ruby Gyang
Lots of input by the Gyang family on this track I must say. We have Sammy, then Jeremiah and also Ruby. The album starts with this track that kind of sounds like the JayZ/Alicia Keys-Empire State of mind. Great progression on the song itself and the guitar gives it that rock feel as Ice Prince introduces his album and gives props to those that deserve it. (even though I think it should come at the end ) Ruby delivers the hook with a good voice but she could have done more with the "ajasas" on the rap verses. 7/10

2. Skit by MC Long
Err........translation from English to Hausa, the Hausa translation must have been very funny because it got the audience squeaking in laughter.

3. Aboki.
Do I need to say more about this track. It has been around for a really long while as it has even topped charts in Nigeria as the first single from this album. The comical lines from Ice Prince and the combination of the "drums" with the "horns" makes this track very groovy. lets not forget the sounds from the traditional Hausa strings. 8/10

4. My Life
This is a very decent track. I think Ice Prince has found that delight in rapping in "pidgin" English and I appreciate the delivery actually sounds slightly different; for those of us that think his delivery of Aboki and VIP were kind of similar. if you listen to this song long enough, you begin to sing it loud.......****my life**** 6/10

5. Mercy Ft Chip
Ice Prince tries to touch on every sub-genre of modern hiphop....pop flavored, dancehall flavored and even highlife flavored. This falls in the dancehall flavored division and chip delivers a decent verse on the track too. 6/10

6. Whiskey Ft Sunny Neji
Horns and guitar usher in this highlife flavored rap music, it would have been lovely it was a love song and could be played at weddings and things like that, then that way Ice Prince can get wedding performances too. the track is matured and can easily be loved by older people. Sunny Neji's voice would always stand out anywhere, and on this track it does even though his verse was not very long. 7/10

7. N-Word
Don Jazzy on the beats!!! southern style hiphop, the kind you will find from Rickross, DJ Khaled and their crew but delivered in pidgin English. I am not sure if it was my listening device but I kind of thought the sound production was oscillating a little bit too much, but maybe that is how it is suppose to be. 7/10...****close your eyes and imagine it was Olamide or Phyno or LordV rhyming to this monstrous beat...choi!!

8. Jambo
Very dance-able track with similar delivery with VIP and Aboki. Even when the beats is utterly different, Ice Prince still brings us back to that Aboki feel....5/10

9. No Die Tomorrow
I saw a tweet where someone said this was his favorite track, I was looking forward to hearing it. Well...it is okay! reggae/dancehall feel though........uses one of its verses to address some of the social issues that plagues his home country.(Nigeria) 6/10... the strength of this track is the beat IMO.

10. Gimme Dat Ft YungL, BurnaBoy and Olamide
I am a big fan of collaborations because it allows us to listen to same track from the perspective of the different artiste on the joint. I like this track and I think it is a good one......Olamide however went in on the track like it was a freestyle, his entry was perfect but it dimmed out towards the end of the verse. Nice one 8/10

11. Komotion ft Wizkid
Delivery was completely different on this one from Ice Prince which got me on high alert. The reggae feel to the entire song makes it even more enticing. Beat was correct! 7/10

12. Person Wey Sabi
You remember the track on ELI where he featured Wizboyy? Here is something similar....Highlife with all the horns and the percussion. Decent track 6/10

13. Kpako Ft MI, Jesse
I like this track......I listened to it with a smile on my face as I anticipated the collabo of the "Jos boyz"; MI is freaking talented......choi!! you need to listen to this....his transition between voice scenarios is fantastic; Jesse is good sha ooo......7/10

14. Pray Ft Sound Sultan
Another "OK" track, typical entry by sound sultan.....almost a "galala" feel to the song too. 6/10

15. More
I heard more a long time ago, and I loved it including its video. The beat was produced by chopstix and I do think its decent.....a rappers way of singing love! 7/10

16. On My Knees Ft Jeremiah Gyang
Where did Jeremiah Gyang go to since all these days sef......he had such an inspirational season with "Barka Zuchi Allah"; ok this is about Ice Prince and not Jerry.....its a Hausa track so a bunch of the words I did not understand, that kind of song you listen to in your car, sing aloud and bump your head. 7/10

17. Tipsy Ft Wale and Morell
Pretty core hip hop on this track , this is one rapheads would scream "fire"..... Iceprince still maintained his delivery style but dang......But Wale probably pushed the track to another level. The banging is banging too with Morell on the hook. 7/10

18. I swear Ft French montana
This track has been on the airwaves way before the album and it was one of those tracks that made peoples expectation for the FOZ album skyrocket. He had his typical punch lines on the track, i however did not know what to expect from "brother french montana" on this track but i think he did pretty well considering the fact that he might not be very familiar with the nigerian music audience. 8/10

I really did not know what to expect from Ice Prince on this album so I kind of opened my heart to its collaborations after listening to pre-release tracks likes "I swear", "Aboki Rmx"; and they all did a good job; Olamide, Burnaboy, YungL, MI, Jesse and co. If I was going to pick a favorite, then it is going to be "Whiskey". Let me mention that this evaluation is indeed my opinion. You should all listen and grade the music yourselves. Those criticizing this album seem to forget that Ice Prince is a commercial rapper, he is not interested in throwing punchlines that will make rapheads go "hooooooo", the album cuts through modern sub-genres on nigerian music and gives us something we can relate and dance to.

Ok na

In December 2012, police arrested four right-wing extremists suspected of planning to bomb the ANC national conference, attended by President Jacob Zuma and other top officials.

Mr Mandela would have been killed by a landmine planted by the group's bomb squad if he had travelled by road, rather than by helicopter, to open a school in the northern Limpopo province, the South African Press Association (Sapa) quotes the judge as saying. The bombers had also planned to detonate five large car bombs in the centres of Pretoria and Johannesburg when they were caught, it reports.

There were gasps of disbelief on Tuesday from the families of those convicted - some relatives started sobbing when the judge handed down the sentences, media reports said.

Nearly 200 people gave evidence for the state - including police informants within Boeremag - and the accumulation of their evidence is one reason why the trial took so long, correspondents say.

Judge Jordaan took into consideration that almost half of the accused have spent up to 11 years in jail, which means some of them were able to walk out of court on Tuesday as free men.Two of Du Toit's co-conspirators, Herman van Rooyen and Rudi Gouws - who both escaped from custody and were rearrested - were given longer sentences for their roles in planting bombs and plotting to kill Mr Mandela, local media reported.

This is ironically the same court precinct where Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life in prison in 1964. He had served 27 years behind bars for fighting this same issue of white domination and racial segregation.Now, he is at home, frail and recovering from a long illness, probably unaware of the drama caused by some of the people he forgave when he left prison.

Is White supremacy overrated?

Two African music power women come together to deliver this ode to the African woman. Here we hear the "Wombolombo" madam, Angelique Kidjo with her sonorous voice blend perfectly with Asa's to deliver some great music

The Beninese icon Angélique Kidjo returns to diva-dom with her album titled EVE as an ode to women across the continent. The collaboration rich Eve is set to be released early next year through 429 records features the joint efforts of Vampire Weekend‘s Rostam Batmanglij, Kronos Quartet, NOLA legend Dr. John, as well as Kenyan and Beninese women’s choirs. The first single “Eva” (not to be confused with the album name) showcases a double dose of vocals from Nigerian/French soulstress Asa.

Here's a new tune from Wizkid titled "On Top Your Matter". This track is produced by Del'B.

Del'B continues to champion this move for modern highlife on his beats. This beat makes even Wizkid sound different, it is deeply rooted in traditional instruments. The work on the acoustic guitar infuses a highlife feel into the song. And Wizkid does well to give us a sing along as usual.....I hope this features on the album, because this is a standard Jam!

Enjoy!

Yes, it's true! West Africa plans to have a common currency for the seven nations: by 2015. Eventually, it intends to merge with the UEMOA states and have a single monetary zone in ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) by 2020. ECOWAS' leaders met today (Friday) in Dakar, Senegal for a summit, focusing on how to move the western region towards a single market and common market by 2020.

ECOWAS was established in 1975; it's made of 300 million people in eight French-speaking, five anglophone countries, and two Portuguese-speaking countries. Eight mostly French-speaking states (UEMOA) that make up the West African Economic and Monetary Union use the CFA franc that is already pegged to the Euro. The remaining countries, including English-speaking Nigeria - Africa's most populous nation with nearly 175 million people -- have their own currencies.

Macky Sall, Senegal President encouraged the other leaders of the group to "continue efforts to maintain peace and security in the region". The regional bloc is expected to consider contributing more troops to the UN mission in Mali (MINUSMA), eventually reaching 12,640 troops and police. In July, there were a little 6,000 but Nigerian and several Chadian troops withdrew since.
But ECOWAS made it clear before the start of the summit that the main focus is to clear the path towards monetary union across the region.

The leaders will discussed a series of recommendations on the creation of a single currency zone, the establishment of a single customs area within ECOWAS territory, and the signing off on deals to strengthen trade links with the European Union.

One of the key recommendations on the table is the establishment of common tariffs across the zone on imports from non-member countries.
Although, these plans all sound great on the table, I'm looking forward to seeing the implementation and success. Can West African countries really unite on a main economic issue that divides them easily?

Will Nigeria be an effective team player, given that it is the most populated country in Africa?
