"How can I be broke? I am not broke!" - Tony Tetuila



For everyone who thought the singer is delving into politics because he's broke as well as wondering if he would be elected with the blonde hair, Here's a message for you!

Singer Tony Tetuila, who is vying for a political post, says if elected into office, his blonde hair will be a thing of the past. He said this while reacting to the recent backlash he received from fans for using his tinted hair for his campaign posters

“I am not going into office to sing, though I am an artiste, I am going to serve my people. I am not going to office with the tinted hair. I was discussing with some youth leaders who said I could leave the hair but now that people are speaking on it, I have to do what my people want” he told tribune. I only used the blonde hair to campaign because everybody knows Tetuila with that trademark” he said

Tetuila went further to state that he is not venturing into politics because he is broke

“How can I be broke? I am not broke, everybody knows where I am coming from. I am not going into politics for the fun of it. We artiste always sing about poverty but rarely do anything about it. If you know songs like “prayer for Naija” and “e go better”, you will see that we only complain but we don’t do anything about the suffering. We want Nigerians to live a better life. What I am going to deliver matters and not the hair” he said

Politics has been part of me; it’s in my blood - 9ice Speaks



9ice spoke to Saturday Sun on his relationship with Toni Payne and ID Cabassa, his music career and his transition into the politics of Oyo State.

Read excerpts of the interview below:

Your poster is everywhere indicating your interest in politics, why are you quitting music for politics?

Yes, I want to leave music for politics. Next year January, I will be 35-years-old and I’m not praying to still be in music at that age. I am serious about politics now. If you listen to my music, you would notice that politics has been part of me; it’s in my blood. When I started initially, I talked about being your brother’s keeper, and that’s why I studied Law at Lagos State University before I dropped out to concentrate on my music career. I hate when things go wrong. When two or three people are having issues, I love to get there to settle their differences. I have passion for politics and it has always been in my blood.

If you go fully into politics, most of your friends and fans will miss you?

I will say they will love me more by the time they see the plans that I have for them. I have so many plans on my mind. Imagine if the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was a politician, he will not just criticize the mistakes of our leaders but also correct them. Imagine if Wole Soyinka was to be the president of this nation, people like him are only preaching the truth and criticising the government but they are not ready to get into politics to make corrections. I am tired of preaching, I want to contribute my own quota for the sake of my people. We have graduates riding commercial motorcycles (okada), selling meat etc, their certificates are not being used but they are shouting that the government is not doing well. There can’t be any change if the youths don’t stand-up now to do something to help the country.

You are coming out under the umbrella of APC, have you been nominated as their candidate?

No, but every member of the party is eligible to aspire for any position; it is now left for the party to choose or to go by election. Six of us are going for the same position under APC. The party will decide on how the candidate will emerge.

Let’s pray that you win, but assuming you didn’t win, how would you feel? Would you go back to your music?

My own politics is not a do-or-die; if my party refuses to pick me, life goes on. I will still support the person that won. I’m not doing what I cannot afford to do. Thank God, I am not owing any bank or anybody money, I can’t do something that I cannot afford, so I have no problem. But it will be recorded that Aboloore Akande vied for this post but didn’t win. People will know that I am not a spectator but a participant. For what I will do if the primary didn’t favour me, hum, I will go into business or any other thing that will give me money. Or better still, I will get back to my music career or talk to one of my friends to employ me in his company. Nothing do me, I am a Nigerian that knows how to struggle.

Association of Witches declare GEJ as the winner of 2015 Presidential election

An association of witches, ‘Inner Coven Society Worldwide’, has declared that President Goodluck Jonathan will be re-elected as the President of Nigeria at the 2015 elections.

The society, which says it is not a political organisation, disclosed that the elections has been won and lost in the spiritual realm, with Jonathan emerging the winner.

President-General of the society, Dr. Omo Ebosele, said his group is a general assembly of witches from various continents, who supernaturally support any cause that is meant for the good of the world.

He said, “The Inner Coven Society World-wide, as the minds that have travelled into the unseen and the unknown, is using this opportunity to say that the 2015 presidential election in Nigeria is a foregone issue. The election has been won and lost in the spirit realm. The candidate who by destiny has the overwhelming support of our society as well as other supernatural principalities in the high places is President Jonathan and he has won the election.”

Gospel Singer Lara George Speak Marriage Problems and How it was resolved


Gospel singer, Lara George has admitted that all marriages come with challenges.

In a recent chat with Encomium magazine on the challenges of marriage, singer Lara George recounted how her 10-year-old marriage had hitches at a point.

“There were many times like that. We have had our fair share. I remember a time we weren’t talking to each other. It got really serious that I had to call my pastor that I was fed up with my marriage. I can remember that my pastor was not around then, but he spoke to my husband that Jesus loves the church unconditionally and things were sorted out. I am glad my husband allowed someone he sees as a mentor to step into the situation” she said

Lara also talked about other challenges she had  faced in the last 10 years of being married to her husband, Gbenga George, she said understanding each other has been a major challenge for them.

“Understanding one another has been a challenge for me. When you are going out as boyfriend and girlfriend, you will think you have known everything about the person until you get married to the person. It is not as if I don’t understand him, but there are different types of communication and understanding. When communication is complete, it means we have completed the journey. So the journey is still on, we are learning to understand each other daily,” she said.

The scripted performance was coordinated by Micheal  Igbelabo of DNMT (Dance Na The Main Thing) who used 18 choreographers for the rare and bold set.

The stage performance of his hit single yawa dey, began with Burna Boy on the bare ground being revived from a supposed coma. This made the guests go wild in anticipation, as they had absolutely no idea what was coming next or even the fact that it was the singer on the floor.

Few seconds later, Burna springs up, delivering his most energetic and exhilarating performance ever. Absolutely well choreographed, his back up dancers displayed amusing ‘Shoki’ moves to the amazement of everyone present.

The Dancers delighted the audience with a perfect demonstration of the chaos surrounding the missing cube, they also had placards with the inscription ‘where is the cube’ written on it.

No better song described the dangers ahead if the ultimate men had failed to retrieve the missing cube than ‘Yawa Dey’.

Burna should definitely try some acting sometime, he has got some skills!
