UncleSnr: Nigerian rapper, Ice Prince, asserts that his 2011 track “Oleku” marked the genesis of the “Afrobeats” genre. Asserting that his team consciously added an “s” to Fela Kuti’s “Afrobeat” label, Ice Prince contends that this alteration was pivotal in differentiating their new sound.
In a recent interview with Echoo Room, Ice Prince emphasized the significance when “Oleku” received airplay on BBC Radio, branding it as one of the earliest Afrobeats tracks to attain such recognition. Ice Prince avowed, “They [foreign DJs] didn’t know what to call our music and they couldn’t call it Afrobeat. So, we [I and my team] told them to put an ‘s’ it to make it Afrobeats.”
Ice Prince further challenged the commonly held belief that Ghanaian-British DJ Abrantee is credited with coining the term “Afrobeats,” asserting that it was their directive to use the label. He queried, “If not tell me who came up with the ‘s’ at the end? A lot of people said it is credited to DJ Abrante, but guess what? Abrante was the one that playlisted the song ‘Oleku.’ That’s my own claim, o!”
Thonyboy: A former Senator, who represented Abia Central district, Darlington Nwokocha has again cried out about the judgement of the Appeal Court which sacked him.
Nwokocha, who was elected as a Senator in February on the platform of the Labour Party, LP, was on November 4, sacked by the Appeal Court which declared Col Austin Akobundu (Rtd) of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the rightful winner of the Abia Central contest.
But two months after his sack, Nwokocha is still hurt by his removal.
Speaking in a live radio interview on Family Love 99.9 FM Umuahia, Nwokocha said he was still surprised that the Appeal Court removed him from office, despite his wide acceptance and popularity among the people of Abia Central.
He also expressed surprise that the Appeal Court refused to reverse itself on his case despite the “evidences” he presented to the judges.
According to him, the legal points used by the Appeal Court in sacking him were “inconsistent with legal proceedings” and should not have been used.
“I am still surprised that somebody can make such a judgement. I am still surprised till now”, Nwokocha lamented.
He further explained that his hope of being reinstated by the Supreme Court was rejected by the apex Court on the grounds that his matter should end in Appeal Court.
Nwokocha, who was recently received by his people, said he has left everything to God.
The former Senator equally commended the political rapport existing between Governor Alex Otti and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Benjamin Kalu, saying that the LP and the APC bigwigs’ brotherhood was needed for the development of Abia State.

thisweekng: In a groundbreaking move, Riverside LNG, a prominent Nigerian energy company, has disclosed ongoing discussions regarding a potential agreement to supply gas to South Africa starting from the first quarter of 2024. This development marks the initiation of what could be the first-ever gas deal between Nigeria and South Africa, signaling a potential collaboration in the energy sector.
CEO David Ige, in an exclusive interview in Abuja, revealed the company’s strategic focus on expanding its reach across the continent. Earlier this year, Riverside LNG formalized a gas-export partnership with Johannes Schuetze Energy Import AG of Germany, demonstrating its commitment to international collaborations.
“We’d probably very early in the year close out another segment of the market, an off-take for South Africa,” Ige stated.
“There’s a massively evolving gas market in the region, covering southern Africa, western Africa, all to northwest Europe and to the Caribbean and South America broadly.”
While emphasizing the confidentiality of ongoing discussions, Ige refrained from providing specific details about the negotiations with South African counterparts. The company is simultaneously exploring potential opportunities in Liberia and Cameroon, further solidifying its position as a key player in the African energy landscape.
Strategic Implications for South Africa: Addressing Power Shortages and Embracing Renewables
Key Considerations:
South Africa’s persistent power shortages due to ageing and inadequately maintained power stations managed by Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. Delays in procuring extra electricity from private providers due to grid constraints and legal disputes. Lack of an LNG facility in South Africa; deliveries from the Riverside LNG project expected to start in 2027. Shifting towards renewable energy sources with a goal to achieve 60 gigawatts of power from renewables by 2030. Regional Dynamics:
Southern African Development Community endorses a $17 billion plan for natural gas infrastructure to enhance energy provisions in the region. Investments in pipelines and terminals for both local and imported supplies. Riverside LNG’s potential gas supply deal with South Africa aligns with the nation’s efforts to diversify its energy sources, moving away from coal dependence. With 80% of electricity production currently reliant on coal, South Africa aims to achieve a significant portion of its power from renewables by 2030.
CEO David Ige emphasized the broader opportunities for Nigeria, stating, “We see a huge opportunity for Nigeria in being a trading hub.” The evolving gas market in the region presents a strategic advantage for Nigeria to position itself as a pivotal player in the global energy trade.
Biodun556: ;In a big boost towards achieving Nigeria’s energy refining capacity and security, Nigeria’s Dangote refinery has received its next one-million-barrel crude oil cargo from Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited (STASCO), bringing the total to three million barrels at the facility’s Single-Point Mooring.
It was also gathered by the ARISE NEWS team that the fourth shipment of crude is on the way.
The company, gearing up to commence operations at 350,000 bpd, is scheduled to start production of diesel and aviation fuel by Mid- January 2024 in which Premium Motor Spirit production is to follow.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery has the capacity to meet 100% of the Nigeria’s requirement of all refined products, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and aviation jet, and also have surplus of each of these products for export.
Earlier this month, the $20bn refinery received its first crude of 950,000-barrel cargo from Nigeria’s Agbami crude berthed at Dangote’s offshore crude receiving terminal in Lekki at about 7pm on December 7, marking the initiation of crude supplies for the refinery’s operations.
The tanker chartered by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), symbolised the initial crude supply to Dangote’s state-of-the-art refinery as it geared up to initiate production.
.
The owner, Aliko Dangote had earlier stated that the Dangote Refinery, will fully come online with the refining of 650, 000 barrels per day by the end of 2024.
Dangote, in an interview in November, also said that the refinery would start with refining Nigerian crude, insisting that the refinery’s first priority is to supply petrol to Nigeria before exporting elsewhere, including the West African region.
“We don’t want to start our refinery with foreign goods, we want to start with the Nigerian crude.
We’re more than ready and you will see our gasoline products soon.”
The refinery situated on the outskirts of Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, had faced delays since its announcement in 2013, despite substantial installation progress made in 2019.
In September 2023, the refinery announced that it will start producing diesel and kerosene in October 2023 and gasoline one month later.
In October, it was clear that the refinery would not yet be able to start operations because the supply of crude oil was stalling, which caused considerable public reaction.
