It was a rude shock but not one too difficult to understand given that the legendary thespian has been battling ill-health for It is better to shoot music videos outside the country, Tuface declares By Imanuel Jannah N igerian singer and songwriter, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as Tubaba or Tuface, has explained why it is sometimes cheaper to shoot music videos outside the country. “We have quality video directors, producers in Nigeria but in terms of logistics, power and cost, it is better to shoot outside the country. You get everything in one place but apart from that reason, I think we shoot quality videos in Nigeria”. he said. The African Queen crooner added that he is impressed and at the same time “scared” about the quality of musical message coming out of the Nigerian music industry. The 40-year old entrepreneur shared his fears about the direction of Nigerian music as follows: “I am impressed and scared at the same time. I am impressed at the quality of the sound, they are so many guys coming out that are serious and are taking the music business serious. sometime. What will however be difficult to appreciate is the vacuum she has left behind. Because, she was undeniably one of the best and greatest talents to have ever graced the Nigerian creative arts screen. As a Muslim, she was buried the same day she died. In fact one of our neighbours confided in Potpourri that she gave the instruction that she should be buried same day she dies. But she wasn’t “We have so many professionals springing up but what I am scared of is the message and the direction because lately, most of the message and the direction is creating this fantasy world where everybody thinks they can hammer without working or following the due process. “There is no harm in doing entertaining music because entertainment is versatile. I am not trying to bring down somebody but what I am trying to say is that there should be a conscious effort not to make everything about partying or money without any moral guidance. “What I am scared about is that this message is sinking into our youths these days and they think it is all about flexing and that is not what life is all about.” born a Muslim, she converted to Islam in 1965 and adopted the name ‘Zainab’. Since the news of her death broke, there have been nothing but ovation for the late actress. Actors Guild of Nigeria declared two-day mourning, just as her colleagues, friends, neighbours and well-wishers are full of praises for her. How she died: Her last moments According to Claudius Akinwade Peter-Thomas, a musician and second son of the late icon, “There aren’t enough words to quantify Mama. She was an independent woman who shouldered the responsibility of raising three lions (sons) without raising her brows. I see her as a lioness. She was also able to combine and manage her situation (single motherhood) and her career. She was a good planner. To that effect, my elder brother is nine years older than me, and I am 11 years older than my younger brother. A good planner she was. Despite being in the public glare, she ensured her private life remained private. Many of my friends didn’t know I was the daughter of the popular actress. This is not because she wasn’t proud of her children, but because she was able to draw the line between her career and her family. People relate with me as Raz CPT and not the daughter of a celebrity, so to say. Mummy has been struggling with her health, she had cancer of the breast, diabetic and was also hypertensive.” Kunle Fawole, popularly known as Abounce and the last child of the family spoke about her last moments. “I and mama were in the living room with some of my friends when I noticed that her heart wasn’t moving, I mean like she stopped breathing. By KEHINDE AJOSE Delectable singer, Emma Nyra is not in the best of moods at the moment contrary to the bubbly persona she shows off on stage. The ‘For My Matter’ sensation is displeased over the recent killings of two African-American men by White police officers in America. In a series of emotion laden tweets, she declared that its difficult for Immediately, I checked her pulse and called my elder brothers. We felt her pulse and heartbeat, did everything possible. But alas, she has passed on. And that was at about 11:23 am on Wednesday. She was a bit ill before this happened. She had been ill for a number of years now. She had stroke some couple of years back. There was a time she also had cerebral malaria. She became diabetic, hypertensive and also suffered breast cancer before now”, he explained mournfully. Mr Alfred Oluwole Shoga was Bukky Ajayi’s first son, a 60-year old man said they were shocked but thankful they are alive to bury her and not her witnessing their deaths. “At 60, my mother still gives me money each time I visit her and I will say, `Mum I’m suppose to give you money’ and she will say I should use it for transportation” he said, speaking as if she were still alive. Why I burst into tears on the internet — Emma Nyra her to get on the internet without bursting into tears. “I was born and raised in America. I moved to Nigeria in 2012. Although Nigeria is not perfect and definitely has its challenges, I feel safe. It’s getting harder and harder for me to get on the Internet without bursting into tears. Lord hear our cries and answer our prayers”.
SUNDAY Vanguard, JULY 10, 2016, PAGE 21 Onikoyi68@gmail.com Oritsefemi Vs PuffyTee ee * Oritsefemi and his management should pay me my money — PuffyTee * `It is my manager, Danku that handles him, not me’ By ROTIMI AGBANA Ace producer and artiste, Babatope Temidayo, aka Puffytee, and Double Wahala crooner, Oritsefemi of MSN Gang, may soon come to blows over an issue of settlement regarding PuffyTee’s contribution to producing Oritsefemi’s album. Speaking with Potpourri recently the talented hitmaker who produced Mayorkun’s hit single, Eleko, said Danku, Oritsefemi’s manager was the one managing the affair at the time. “When this feud started, Danku told me not to worry that everything will be fine, so I left and continued working on my other projects. I’m asking for my money now because they have settled. I didn’t reach out to Oritsefemi because I and Danku have been working on other projects together. In fact, I didn’t even think of reaching out to him, basically it’s just time, I felt when the right time comes I will ask for my money, and the right time is now. If they don’t pay me I’m going to sue them straight up because it’s my money and I worked hard for it. To produce 15 tracks on someone’s album is not a joke, so they can’t tell me there is no money, they go for shows, the songs are on ITunes and caller tunes, and no matter how little it is, money is coming in. The money made from songs on caller tunes are meant to be shared between the artiste and producer because it’s not just the vocals that is downloaded but the beat. So, as long as he’s making money with those songs I produced, he can be sued”, he said sternly. Reaching out to Oritsefemi, the Double Wahala crooner said he had no knowledge of the situation, saying it is his management that handles all financial matters. “I don’t know about it, we had about 7 producers on the album, though PuffyTee produced for me but my manager, Danku has been the one relating with him. When it comes to financial issues it’s my management that handles it, it’s not my job”. Fans attack Brymo over Twitter goof By Kehinde Ajose Ara singer, Brymo has been criticised lately for his controversial views on Twitter. In his recent series of tweets, he made statements about Africans that made his fans angry and got them condemning his reasoning. He said:”Black man likes to suffer” His fans on Twitter didn’t mince words in condemning him over that statement. One user put it this way: “I’m a black man. I don’t like to suffer. Fucking generalizations & stereotypes! If it’s not fact don’t state it.” Another twitter fan adds:”Yes we suffer but that doesn’t mean we like to, doesn’t mean we enjoy it. I don’t like to suffer, we are just helpless” A certain villain says: ”See my favorite Nigerian artiste shaming me”. Brymo responds this way: ”There are many of us, you can pick another. We need our music to stop being about swag and champagne and hoes. We need to make it a point to preach value in all that we do, not everyday money, money, money.” The anticipation of Imo State residents for the formal launch of Kingdom Lottery games in their environs was met last weekend when the company held its July Raffle Draw in Owerri, the state capital, from which Mr. Samuel Onumajuru smiled home with a million naira (N1,000,000) as winner.
