Wizkid and Davido to share one stage together

Well, it’s not the collabo all fans have been waiting for but this is the closest we can get for now.

The 2014 edition of Soundcity Blast concert is bound to invite a lot of fans as the organizers have announced that feuding superstars, Wizkid and Davido would share the same stage while performing at the forthcoming event.

Soundcity made the announcement on their official twitter handle: ‘What could possibly be bigger than Wizkid and Davido sharing a single stage in Lagos on December 18th? You say?’

If all goes according to plan, the 2014 edition of Soundcity Blast, which is scheduled to take place on December 18, 2014 at a yet-to-be-disclosed venue on the Island, would be the first time that Wizkid and Davido would share the same stage to perform since they renewed hostilities via a series of twitter rants in July 2014.

Apart from the Twitter rants, the two young acts who are among the most influential figures in the Nigerian entertainment industry, have granted a number of interviews, notably in Olisa Adibua’s THE TRUTH series where they also hit out at each other, with each of them defending his actions and utterances since the beef began a few months ago.


Nonso Diobi: “I’m would definitely date Ini Edo”

Well, she is officially back on the market so she is fresh meat for anyone interesting in trying his luck.

Charming Nollywood star, Nonso Diobi spoke up about several issues in an interview with Ynaija on November 14, 2014, most especially his celebrity crush Ini Edo.

The handsome fair skinned actor joined Nollywood in 2001 and has featured in several movies to date. In 2008 and 2009 respectively, he won the award for Best Supporting Actor at the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA).

During the interview he opened up about who in the entertainment industry he would like to date and he mentioned actresses Uche Elenduand and Ini Edo saying :

“I would definitely date Uche Elendu if I could. The truth is that I used to have a crush on her but thank God she is married now and another person is Ini Edo, I just love her sense of humor”

The actor who declared that he is indeed single clearly has a crush on Ini Edo who just parted ways with her husband of 5 years Phillip Ehiagwina.

4 Ways To Spot A Big Fat Liar, According To Science

Not sure what that means exactly? No worries. Here are the four telltale signs of spotting a liar.



1. Liars talk less about themselves.
It’s all about creating a distance from the situation, so liars remove themselves immediately from the story. Zanden’s example of this behavior was with Lance Armstrong who originally, when asked about performance-enhancing drugs, created a hypothetical scenario in which to separate himself from it all. However, in 2013 when he finally could no longer lie about the situation, he used 75% more personal pronouns in his truths. He’d been caught and there was no longer a reason to keep that distance going.

2. They’re negative about the situation.
If someone’s lying about why they’re late, they’re going to blame the “stupid” traffic, or the “dumb” train that never came. They’ll also talk about how much something “sucks,” or how much they “hate” whatever supposedly caused them to be late. According to Zanden, liars do this because in some ways they actually feel quite guilty about the fact that they’re lying.

3. Their stories are “overly-simplified.”
It’s not easy to come up with a lie, even a bad one, so because of the work it entails, language tends to get disturbed and messy. It takes some effort to come up with a lie, so liars try to keep their untrue stories simple and to the point.

4. They use a lot irrelevant “facts.”
Although the plot of their fallacy is simple, the way they describe it is over the top. I know when I lie to get a “sick” day, I’m not just “sick,” but “I’ve been throwing up for hours and I’m pretty sure it’s food poisoning or maybe not, and maybe I should go to the hospital, but I really don’t want to, so I’m going to wait until noon and figure it out then.” I’m very babbly, even if it’s in an email to someone, as if I need to convince them of the truth by adding all these absurd details, details that I’m likely to forget a day later, therefore messing up my lie, so I have to tell another lie, of course.

8 Ways Facebook Could Destroy Your Marriage

Here are eight and a half things you’re doing on or because of Facebook that could potentially damage your marriage.



1. You’re checking Facebook on your phone, instead of talking to your spouse
According to the Daily Mail, new research has found people spend more time on their smartphones than with their marriage partners. People tend to use their smartphones for about 119 minutes a day, whereas they spend about 97 minutes with their loved one, the research found.

2. You care more about what other people post than what your spouse does
Some would call this “the Instagram effect,” but the idea is simple: You care more about what your friends and family are posting on Facebook than you do what your wife or husband is doing right in front of you. Instagram does have more than 150 million users (many of whom post their stuff to Facebook, too), so people are bound to see some things on there that can grab them and take their attention away from their spouses.

3. You’re not liking your loved one’s status
This may seem simple, but it’s an important one. Much has been written by bloggers and dating websites about the effects of liking someone’s statuses, mostly because a large number of likes implies that the liker is interested in the likee. By avoiding the like button for your loved one, you may be giving off a colder impression about how you feel about them.

4. You like someone else’s statuses way too much
According to data from Facebook, Facebook interactions are heavy between soon-to-be couples, with post sharing and likes increasing within the 100 days before a relationship starts. By liking someone else’s statuses and photos too much, you may be giving off the wrong impression that you’re not tied down into a relationship and that you’re looking for a way to leave it.

5. Careful with some of those Facebook friends
It’s no question that you and your spouse are going to have some mutual friends. But be wary of them because they may cause you strife. According to the Pew Research Center, half of Facebook’s users have more than 200 friends in their network, so a shared friend is bound to pop up among married couples. Just make sure those 200 friends aren’t going to comment something off-putting or discouraging on your loved one’s status. It may raise problems within the marriage and friend circles, too.

6. You quit Facebook, but you still ask questions about it
According to research cited by the Daily Mail, more people are saying their goodbye to the social network, as they’re worried about privacy and getting addicted to the website. But when you’re done with Facebook, you may start asking your loved one some questions about it — who your spouse is interacting with, what they’ve been posting and what they recently saw on the website, for example — and that could raise arguments and complications regarding trust.

7. You didn’t do a good job with your privacy settings
Marriage should involve trust and being able to open up to someone. But Facebook creates the possibility for many other people to see what you’re all about. NBC News reported that privacy is a major concern for Facebook users, as it leaves them open to review and judgment by their friends and possibly the public. Conversations that should happen first between husband and wife are posted for the public to see. For example, one source told Deseret News National that his wife shared that he and his wife’s kid started on walking on Facebook before sharing it with him. That was not an easy conversation to have. Facebook may also lead to people finding out things about you before your spouse knows about them, which is another sign of failing trust.

8. Your Facebook photo isn’t right
That’s right. What you display as a profile picture says a lot about you. In fact, The Atlantic reported that what makes a profile picture look good is the amount of engagement it gets — such as likes, shares and comments. But if you keep something unattractive up — like a photo no one likes — your spouse may feel the pressure to ask you to take it down.

There are other problems. But what are they?
Of course, Facebook is filled with a variety of users interacting with a vast number of people every day, so there are bound to be problems we didn’t think of.

Dayo Adeneye, D1: “I Am Not Going Into Politics To Make Money”

It’s no longer news that Nigerian politics has been invaded by entertainers who think they’ve got what it takes to do better than we’ve been getting.

One of the political aspirant and Showbiz mogul, Dayo Adeneye fondly called D1 has said that he is not going into politics to fill his pockets but rather, to make a change.

D1 who aims to represent Odogbolu Constituency at the Ogun State House of Assembly come 2015 made this known in an exclusive interview with Punch. He said, “Anybody who knows my antecedents will tell you that my real interest has always been to serve this country.

I came back to nigeria at a time most people were planning to leave. I left a plum job in the United States to contribute my quota to the development of the country through the private sector. I became a part of the change that gave birth to the African Independent Television and Raypower FM radio station.

That was when nobody believed in 24-hour broadcasting in Nigeria.

He argued that money has never been his problem saying “Anybody who knows me will testify that I made money when I was young.

I was a millionaire in my 20s. I have built my houses. Kenny and I were among the first people in Nigeria to own Hummer Jeeps.

We were also among the first to own the latest models of the Range Rover Sport Utility Vehicle. This is not about boasting; I have made my mark.

I am not looking for money. Everybody knows my pedigree. I am a hardworking person and I have businesses in communication and hospitality. “When Kenny Ogungbe and I came into the entertainment industry, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was the highest paid musician and he was collecting only N25,000 per show.

But, today, through our efforts we have artistes like P-Square and Tuface Idibia who are collecting about N10m and more, per show. If we did these things with our own funds, imagine what we can do if given the mandate to serve the people.

He also said that his campaign is funded from his personal savings and he is not begging any one out there for financial assistance.

Wizkid: “I Am No More An Average Artist”

He has been under scrutiny for the past couple of months now, but the young superstar seems to be handling the criticism very well.

Wizkid’ Balogun is one of the headliners for Hennessy Artistry this year and he revealed in a recent interview, his experience working with 2Face Idibia (2baba) as co-headliners of the artistry, the review of his sophomore album AYO and how he has been spending his earning.

Read excerpts below: –

How has it been working as one of the Hennessy Artistry headliners this year?
I feel really blessed to be part of Hennessy Artistry this year. I am happy to be associated with the brand and I thank God for the opportunity to work with 2Face Idibia. He has been like a legend in the Nigerian music industry. He is one of the pioneers who paved the way for young artistes like me. So, it is a great feeling working with such individual. This will be the first time we actually got into the studio to finish a track. I really feel blessed. Thanks to Hennessy.

How have been able to build the Wizkid brand to such a popular one?
It looks like it has taken me all my life to build this brand. Before I went into making music, I already had what I wanted to be in my head. I was conscious of what I wanted to be and definitely knew I wanted to build a brand. In my journey in this music industry, I had wanted people to know the brand, not my name or my music and I try to stay out of trouble and sometimes avoid things happening. So, I am working on my brand and I want to take it to the global level.

In what way are you working to sustain the brand?
The truth is that I worry about sustainability of the brand and that’s why I work endlessly every day and night to make sure the brand Wizkid is here, even when I am no longer here. When I finally leave this world, I want to leave a legacy that people will follow. I am also building the Star Boy brand to help young artistes and producers. I want to create a platform for other talented people to grow creatively and push out their music. Star Boy is about a year old now, and our boys are getting constant airplay and nominations at various award platforms in Nigeria and abroad. So it is a great a feeling and I am liking it.

You have written a lot of hit songs. Which one would you consider the most challenging song ever written?
I would say ‘Jaiye Jaiye’. This is because when I wrote the song, I was a bit worried about whether people would accept the song. And that song is really special to me. So when I called Femi Kuti and I told him about the song, I wasn’t expecting his instant acceptance. When he said ‘yes’ to my request immediately, I was shocked and happy. The following day, we entered studio immediately and started to work on the song and I happy that I didn’t disappoint him.

Most people are usually afraid of breaking the sophomore jinx and you have just released your second album. What has been the response of music fans to the album?
The acceptance of my new album Ayo (Joy) has been awesome. Every day, people love the album and discover new tracks from the album. Before the release, I had already put out most of the songs as singles. Songs like Ojuelegba, In My Bed, Show Me The Money among others are already hit with people. It feels really good. When I was putting together the album, I tried to make a conscious decision not to change my style of music too much. I think people are already having this thing in their heads that because I am working with some international artistes, I might try to change my style of music or what I would sound like. But that is not true. I can never change my style of music for anyone.

Many critics have praised you for the track One Question. How did you come up with such heavy highlife track?
As I have said, I work endlessly to make sure that the Wizkid brand gets the needed respect. A lot of people would be thinking Wizkid is all about making party music but I have actually decided to do good music. I’m not to just make music for now, but do something that people can listen to years to come. I want to pass a message across to a wider audience. That is what I did with the track, Joy. I was talking about my life and using it to inspire others. The same thing I did with Jaiye Jaiye and Ojuelegba. So, songs like that and One Question prove to you that I am no longer an average artiste. I am very confident of the music that I make now. And by God’s grace, I will definitely make things happen and take my music to global audience.
Why did you shoot the video of Show Me The Money in Surulere?
I decided to shoot the Show Me The Money video in sh*tta, also known as Small London, in Surulere because that’s where I grew up. I have paid my dues and there are so many stories to tell. I used to perform at all the carnivals in Surulere every December for free, including Lawanson to Brown Road. That is my hood where I was raised. So I have to pay my dues.

What’s happening between you and Skales as we have not heard of any collaboration between the two of you?
Of course, I will work with Skales. He was in my house some weeks ago and he brought a track. Definitely, I am going to work with him.

How did you come about the name Star Boy?
The streets gave me the name. It’s my people that started calling me that name and it stuck.

How would you react to those complaining that you like to show off your wealth on the social media?
Haa, show off kee? But let’s be honest, I didn’t have any of these good things before now. So, I have to show them off to motivate people and also to thank God for blessing me with all the wealth to acquire those things.

What about those who say you are arrogant and act like a terrible person?
Well, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. And you should also check those who claim I am a terrible person. I am not and my people know that.  Whatever any one feels, he should not blame me for it. Everyone cannot like you; same as everyone cannot hate you. I am just being me and also being a good person. Fame has not changed me; it only added some accessories to my collections. People say I am arrogant and it does not bother me because I still show my fans love and they do same in return.

Where are you investing all the millions you are making now?
I invest heavily in properties and jewellery. I spend more on gold. I have heard some people say they are vanities but I tell you, they are very good investment
