To Sadiq Abacha – On Behalf Of Wole Soyinka By Ayo Sogunro



Capture
Sadiq Sani Abacha gets the first reply to his open letter to Prof. Wole Soyinka from writer/activist, Ayo Sogunro. Read below and tell us what you think…
I do not know you personally, but I admire your filial bravery – however misguided – in defending the honour of your father, the late General Sani Abacha. This in itself is not a problem; it is an obligation—in this cultural construct of ours – for children to rise to the defence of their parents, no matter what infamy or perfidy the said parent might have dabbled in.
The problem I have with your letter, however, arises from two issues: (i) your disparaging of Wole Soyinka, who—despite your referral to an anecdotal opinion that calls him as “a common writer”—is a great father figure, and a source of inspiration, to a fair number of us young Nigerians; and (ii) your attempt to revise Nigerian history and substitute our national experience with your personal opinions. Continue…
Therefore, it is necessary that we who are either Wole Soyinka’s “socio-political” children, or who are ordinary Nigerians who experienced life under your father’s reign speak out urgently against your amnesiac article, lest some future historian stumble across the misguided missive, and confuse the self-aggrandized opinions of your family for the perceptions of Nigerians in general.
Your letter started with logical principles, which is a splendid common ground for us. So let us go with the facts: General Sani Abacha was a dictator. He came into power and wielded it for 5 years in a manner hitherto unprecedented in Nigerian history. Facts: uncomfortable for your family, but true all the same.
Now, for my personal interpretations: between 1993 and 1998 inclusive, when your dada was in power, I was a boy of 9 to 14 years and quite capable of making observations about my political and cultural environment. Those years have been the worst years of my material life as a Nigerian citizen. Here are a few recollections: I recollect waking up several mornings to scrape sawdust from carpentry mills, lugging the bags a long distance home, just to fuel our “Abacha stoves” because kerosene was not affordable—under your father. I recollect cowering under the cover of darkness, with family and neighbours, listening to radio stations—banned by your father. I recollect my government teacher apologetically and fearfully explaining constitutional government to us—because free speech was a crime under your father’s government. Most of all, I remember how the news of your father’s death drove me—and my colleagues at school—to a wild excitement, and we burst into the street in delirious celebration. Nobody prompted us, but even as 13 and 14 year olds, we understood the link between the death of Abacha and the hope of freedom for the ordinary man.
These are all sorry tales, of course. Such interpretations would not have occured to the wealthy and the privileged under your father’s government, but they were a part of the everyday life of a common teenager under that government. The economics were bad, but the politics were worse. And I am not referring to Alfred Rewane, Kudirat Abiola and the scores killed by the order of your father. Political killings are almost a part of every political system, and most of those were just newspaper stories to us. In fact, I didn’t get to read most of the atrocities until long after your father died. So, these stories did not inform the dread I personally felt under your father’s regime. And this was true for my entire family and our neighbours.
Instead, the worry over our own existence was a more pressing issue. Your father, Sani Abacha was in Aso Rock, but his brutality was felt right in our sitting room. We were not into politics and we didn’t vocally oppose Abacha, yet we just knew we were not safe from him. You see, unlike any dictatorship before or after it—your father’s governmentpersonally and directly threatened the life and freedoms of the average Nigerian. Your father threatened me. And if your father had not died, I am confident that I would not be alive or free today.
Think of that for a while.
Now, let’s come to Wole Soyinka. First: you can never eradicate the infamy of your father’s legacy by trying to point out the failings of another Nigerian. Remember what you said: A is A.  Abacha is Abacha. And no length of finger pointing will wash away the odious feeling the name of Abacha strikes up in the mind of the average Nigerian.Second: Don’t—as they musician said—get it twisted: Wole Soyinka did not antagonize your father just because he was a military man—Wole Soyinka was against your father’s inhumanity. Your father was intolerant of criticism beyond belief.
Your father made military men look bad. Your father’s behaviour was so bad it went back in time and soiled the reputation of every military man before him. Your father, finally, made Nigerians swear never—ever—to tolerate the military again. Soyinka may have worked with the military before—but your father ensured that he will never work with the military again. Do you see? Three: Evil comes in many forms: there is no qualification by degree. There is no “good” evil thing. Sani Abacha, Boko Haram, Hitler, slavery—they all fit into the same category of misfortunes. Soyinka is right: Abacha was just as bad as Boko Haram is—deal with it. Four: Soyinka has been kind enough to limit his criticism to the unenviable awards this inept government has given your father. But, you see, in a saner political system, we wouldn’t just ignore your father, we would have gone one step further and expunged the Abacha name from all public records. Wiped without a trace. Abacha would forever be a cautionary tale against the excesses of political power. In a saner political system.
Abacha was brutal—and Soyinka was one of those individuals who gave us inspiration in those dark days. He was part of the team that founded the underground radio station to counter your father’s activities. Let me rephrase in pop culture language: Wole Soyinka was the James Bond to your father’s KGB. Most of the influential people either kept quiet or sang the praises of your father to stave his wrath. But a few like Soyinka spoke, wrote and even went militant against Abacha. But at the end, even Soyinka who never ran from a fight had to run from your father. That was how terrible things were. And now you want Soyinka to join the praise singers of your father? I’m not certain Soyinka has grown old enough to forget how he escaped your father,slipping across the border in disguise. You will have to wait awhile to get that praise from him.
Now, back to you. You have a deluded sense of your father’s role in the progress of Nigeria’s history. Nigeria has managed to be where it is today, not because of leaders like your father—but in spite of leaders like your father. This is a testament to the Nigerian spirit of resilience, and our unwavering optimism in a better future. You owe every Nigerian an apology for daring to attribute this to the leadership of Abacha. Those “achievements” you believe were accomplished under your father were simply all the things he had to do to keep milking the economy, and thereby perpetuate himself in power—they benefited Nigeria only if, by Nigeria, you meant your family and your cronies.
Your tone is that of a white master who justifies his oppression because he clothed and fed his black slaves. That is what your father did. The fact that we choose not to regurgitate, and reflect on that socially traumatic period doesn’t mean we accept it as your entitlement. We have not forgotten, and we will never forget. Sani Abacha defiled Nigeria.Your father defiled us. Your father defiled us and then pressed some change into our hands. And he then tried to marry us forcefully, too. You may think all this is well and good—but then you’ve never been defiled before.
But we now live under a democracy—the kind your father denied us—and so you are free to talk. And so you are free to insult the people who ensured that your father had sleepless nights. Had the revolution your father rightly deserved happened, you—and the rest of your family—would have been lined against a wall, before you could pen one article, and shot.
And we would probably have cheered.
But we live under a democracy now—a system of government where even the scions of former oppressors can talk, and write freely, about the benefits of dictatorship. That’s a democracy. A concept your father wouldn’t have understood.
Regards,
Ayo Sogunro

EXCLUSIVE NEWS| Sadiq Abacha’s Open Letter To Wole Soyinka


Sadiq Sani Abacha, son of former Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha has penned an open letter to Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, in reaction to a recent statement credited to his late father.

While speaking on Nigeria’s Centenary celebrations and his reasons for rejecting the award, Soyinka said that it was an insult to share an award with the late Abacha.

Wole Soyinka wrote:

Such abandonment of moral rigour comes full circle sooner or later. The survivors of a plague known as Boko Haram, students in a place of enlightenment and moral instruction, are taken to a place of healing dedicated to an individual contagion – a murderer and thief of no redeeming quality known as Sanni Abacha, one whose plunder is still being pursued all over the world and recovered piecemeal by international consortiums – at the behest of this same government which sees fit to place him on the nation’s Roll of Honour! I can think of nothing more grotesque and derisive of the lifetime struggle of several on this list, and their selfless services to humanity. It all fits. In this nation of portent readers, the coincidence should not be too difficult to decipher. I reject my share of this national insult.

Abacha describes Soyinka’s statement as cowardice.




Now here is Sadiq Abacha’s response:

If you want to think, speak and act logically then you should know all three.

1. The law of identity

2. The law of excluded middle

3. The law of non contradiction.

Now let’s look at each one of these and see what they mean in practice.

1.The law of identity

The law of identity means that things are what they are, which at first doesn’t seem very illuminating, but wait; it implies also the following, that things are what they are, whether you like them or not, it implies that things are what they are whether you know them or not, it implies that things are what they are whether you agree with them or not.

However, if you don’t like the facts as they are you are going to have to put up with them, because facts are what they are, if it’s raining on your golf day, get used to it! Because the facts are what they are and are often not what you want them to be, like if the traffic lights turn red when you approach, stop complaining! The law of identity means that you must adapt yourself to the facts and start your work from there, it implies that the facts will not bend to meet your expectations. You must first adapt yourself to what life is and then get to work changing and improving things in your life, be brave to meet reality as it really is and not how you would wish it to be.

2. The law of excluded middle.

The law of excluded middle means that you should give a straight yes or no answer always and there is no middle ground. The law means that there is no kinda yes and kinda no, there is no ‘sort of’ being married because you are either married or you are not, you are either a thief or you are not, you are either on time or not, you are either living in Nigeria or you are not. The law is the idea that you should not try to keep all of your options open by staying in the middle or hedging, when it suits you, like when you accepted an appointment during IBB’s regime as chairman of FRSC. I bet that was a military regime you partook in. Please pick one wife and state your claim 100% to her, pick one idea and go for it 100%! Decide and commit Sir! There you might find great power and self satisfaction in the doctrine of decide and commit. No half way measures, no middle ground, exclude the middle! Here! The law of excluded middle Sir.

3. The law of non contradiction.

The law of non contradiction says don’t contradict yourself simple. If you say you will be there then be there. If you say you will do it then do it. Don’t say or fight for one thing and then do the opposite. Don’t say one thing and then later deny that you said it. Don’t say one thing and then later contradict it. Be consistent in your thoughts and actions. Observing someone who was a socialist in the morning but then became a capitalist in the evening is a textbook on contradiction, these are two polar opposites, such a person is clearly inconsistent and is therefore considered a flip flop, confused, easily led or misled or at best a lunatic who has no clear understanding of the basis of either doctrine.

Apply these three logics to others with consistency and then you can ask for the same or expect the same from others, and then you can also ask for others to deal with facts not fantasy, which is the law of identity. Ask others to make up their mind to decide and commit. The law of excluded middle.Then ask others to follow through on the things that they say they would do. The law of non contradiction.

Sir, I believe brilliance is not perfection. I have grown and watched you criticize regime after regime and at that young and naive age I was thinking why wouldn’t this man just contest to be president so that Nigeria can be saved, I would have defiantly voted for Mr Soyinka if it would have brought an end to Nigeria’s woes. To my utter surprise, I heard about your FRSC leadership and how funds were misused and a great deal of it unaccounted for. “Oh my God! In the end he turned out to be just the same as everybody else” were my next thoughts. My hopes for you, all ended up in great disappointment.

Here I find myself defending my father 15 years after his death because some of you have no one else to pounce on, or rather, you have chosen a dead person to keep pouncing on over and over again when you have more than an array of contestants.  A coward’s act I believe.  ”A common writer” is what I have heard you being referred to lately, and I believe a mature mind would now agree to such referrals. With all due respect, there is a great challenge that faces the country, we have to put our heads together, rather than clashing, our collective ships must sail in the same direction, let us leave the ghosts of past contention and face the future bravely as one, criticizing the past does not help the present or define a path to the future.

You say, with the weight of your sense of history and the authority you possess on national issues that ” a vicious usurper under whose authority the lives of an elected president and his wife were snuffed out” referring to my late father, you must be growing old, or you would rightly recall that that president elect you refer to did not die while my father was alive. Did you slyly change your facts to fit a history that would better serve your narrative, or are you just plain forgetful? Either way, it shows you are losing your grasp of reality.

Comparing my father’s leadership to Boko Haram’s current reign of terror,  is a rather cheap shot, you are in no position to examine, judge and sentence an entire regime based on the information you think you have, you are privy to almost none of the true facts, what is at your disposal is at best, hearsay, or were you ever minister of defence? did you ever sit in during security meetings, evaluate the facts and subtleties of national security? You remind me of Obama criticizing the Republicans  before he became a sitting president himself, vouching to put an end to all American occupation, this all came to an abrupt end once he had access to the briefs and security issues, economic and political, facing his nation. Surely he did what he could, and history will judge him. To lead is not to be a rock star, and to be a Nobel laureate is not to be a an antagonist of this countries legacy..We are Africa’s leaders, whether we like it or not, we cannot trivialize the centenary celebration, it happens only once, let us come together, if only for this one occasion and agree to disagree.

Open rebellion against the current government at this time, on the manner of the centenary celebrations, for whatever reason, is tactless, it is not about you, it is about our nation, our beloved country. There is a time and place for everything. My late father was a Nigerian, lived in Nigeria and died protecting our interests to the best of his ability, critiquing placing him on the honor roll, along with many deserving dignitaries is your right, you have the right to your own opinions, but you do not have the right to your own facts. Facts stand alone, regardless of who espouses them, let posterity judge, but you are clearly politicizing a dead issue, how could you not be? Having an issue with the naming of a hospital after the late General and leader? really ? Now ?

It almost seems as if you want to turn back the hands of time, what else would you like to undo besides the naming of the hospital, would you like to unmake Bayelsa state, Zamfara state or the others?  What about the advances we made in commerce, reducing the inflation rate, what about security and welfare, how many projects, hospitals and schools were created? inflation went from 54% to 8.5%! my father oversaw an increase in our foreign currency reserves from 494 million dollars in 1993 to 9.6 billion dollars by the middle of 1997, that is unprecedented , 15 years after the PTF the benefits are still being reaped today in Nigeria, What of peace keeping and nation building, not just in West Africa but the entire continent, restoring democracy in Liberia and Sierra Leone, all these under my father’s leadership, are all these not laudable? Or would you like to undo them all. All this on 8$ per barrel of oil! You have to be kidding me.

You are a learned man, you would have to undo all your learning to knowingly wish to undo all these achievements! I will be the first to proclaim that my fathers leadership was not pitch perfect or spot free, that does not exist, maybe in utopia but not here on this earth, so let us keep our discourse set in the sphere of reality please, he deserves the award, and he did not campaign for it, let it go, Sir…and allow Nigeria to at least bask in our survival and endurance in our growing prosperity and development in these trying times. I have been accused of being an optimist, hence, I am optimistic that you will come around and accept that we can all come together and face the future together, forgive each other our wrongs while celebrating our rights, I am still an admirer of your works after all, however, I cannot and will not attempt to answer your every charge, this is not the time or place, this is a time for solidarity, if only you were wise enough to grasp this.

I applaud the patience of President Goodluck Jonathan and his composure and restraint in not having a knee jerk reaction at such a pivotal moment in our nations history, but you would mar the occasion, Sir, in the future, please pick your battles, and do better to safeguard your relevance,  Enough Sir!

Sadiq Abacha.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW : PAUL MARTIN'S OLUWATOBI (I NEED YOUR VOTES URGENTLY)

the music business in Nigeria is actually not encouraging people with good contents to thrive. Commercial music has carved out a massive niche for random songs done by unrehearsed proficient artistes to become successful. It has now become a norm in Nigeria that if you need to become successful you'll have to be sexually lyrical and verbally impolite; thus making contents tell only one story line which often appear to be void of variation or styles.
Because I know my songs will inevitably have to compete with these ones, I thought not to drown their goodness by singing same genre. Hence why I've chosen a range of genres and created a harmonized assorted hybrid.

Since one can't sing for everyone, It will take only elite people to appreciate these songs as they are my target audience. I see myself as an interesting enlightener and a quality-control entertainer. I will also like to see that people with good contents and original concepts get a platform to propagate their works - I.e. If I become a renown artist.

Art, to me, is an exhibition of demonstrations delivered by the artiste's work that has been injected by a venom of ideologies and creativity. We need to reinstate music back as an art to genuinely enjoy not a toy for commercial gains

Man Calls Off Wedding After Church Declares His Bride Pregnant





Source- Stelladimokokorkus.com
My neighbor dressed on Saturday 22nd February to attend a wedding where the wife of the Senate President, Helen Mark,was to play hostess. 
 
The bride, Cynthia worked for her and was said to be an orphan thus had become her adopted daughter.
 
Few hours later, my neighbor came back sweating profusely and swearing and cursing loudly, she entered my room and came to give me this 'nollywood' gist. Let me narrate in her own words what transpired after the cut......................................
 
 
 
 We got to the venue of the wedding at about 9am. 2hrs later and neither the bride or the groom came out. After guests started getting impatient, the groom came out, took the microphone and announced to the astonished guests that he was no longer interested in the marriage! 

Turned out that the the Redeemed christian church of God RCCG that was supposed to wed them had conducted a pregnancy test the day before the wedding and the result turned out POSITIVE. 

 Where the story come get K-leg be say the guy had never slept with the girl! 

 
The bride on her own part insisted she was not pregnant and did another pregnancy test in a different hospital which came out negative. The church did a second test with their own doctor and again their own test read POSITIVE! 

Come see drama ooo! Church did several tests, all came out positive, the girl did several other tests in different centers, all came out NEGATIVE.

 To cut a long story short, na there the groom say he no dey marry again hence the announcement in church!

 Bride cry tire, her people curse the groom tire, the guy just siddon inside the car dey chop him rice! And do you know the worst part of the story? The man's people still had the guts to pack the wedding cake, wine and other drinks as well as souvenirs put for their motor wen them wan go and it was not the guy that bought any of those things o! 

Trust naija people naa, guests still get mind siddon chop the buffet that had already been set and some even pack take-away food, drinks and whatever souvenir they could lay hands on, meanwhile they all went back with their gifts oh!

 Even me sef follow collect jotters, mugs and a set of pots! loll. All this time the poor girl still dey cry with wedding dress insisting she wasn't pregnant but who go fight for her? She was only a poor orphan...


P.S: Do you support the groom? If indeed she was pregnant, was that the best action for the guy to have taken - After all the same thing happened to Mary in the bible and Joseph still accepted her!.

KCee & His Label Are Being Sued For N20 Million By Kevin Lucciano Of QuestionMark Entertainment


KCeeHarrysong_that1960chickdotcom
PMAN (Performing Musician’s & Artistes of Nigeria) president & QuestionMark Entertainment owner, Kevin Luciano, the label that discovered the likes of Asa & Cobhams has filed a N20m ($117,000) lawsuit against KCEE’s Five Star Music.
This according to NET, who report that the lawsuit was filed against singer Harrysong who is signed to KCee’s Five Star Music for allegedly breaching his contract with QuestionMark, and also against Five Star Music for entering into a new contract with Harry Song despite knowing that he was yet to serve out his contract with his former label.
Harrysong wrote KCEE’s hit song ‘Limpopo’, he is also the man behind the Nelson Mandelatribute song which is said to be the most downloaded caller tune ever with over a million downloads on the day of its release.
A source from Question Mark’s camp told NET that before filing the suit, Luciano had exhausted all efforts to reach an amicable settlement with Harry Song and KCEE’s Five Star Music.
The source went on to say,‘It is because of their nonchalant attitude that we have decided to take the matter to court since they were not ready to sit and talk it out,’ the source, who requested anonymity, said.
Soso Soberekon who is KCee’s manager & executive at Five Star Music has denied receiving a court injunction on the matter.
He said, ‘Kevin has been on this for a while but we are yet to receive any court injunction about this matter,’ 
He did admit that negotiations are currently ongoing to resolve the issue amicably.
We will see how all this plays out…in the meantime I am still waiting on Kcee’s collaboration with Nicki Minaj which he allegedly recorded in Los Angeles a month ago [READ HERE &HERE IF YOU MISSED THAT STORY]

Shocker! Following Several Cheating Scandals, Robin Thicke & Wife Paul Patton End Twenty Year Union!



1393274676_paula-patton-robin-thicke-article
Call me delusional but I always thought Robin Thicke & Paula Patton would be one of those Hollywood couples that lasted forever, despite rumours of them having an open marriage…I hear they have threesomes & multiple sexcapades.
But I guess after months of cheating scandals Paula Patton has had enough.
The couple who started dating when they were just teenagers, she was 18 and he was 16, today announced their separation in a statement which said
“We will always love each other and be best friends,” the singer and his actress wife tell Us in a statement. “However, we have mutually decided to separate at this time.”
The couple wed in 2005 & had a son, Julian in 2010.
Robin Thicke had the biggest success of his career last year with his hit song “Blurred Lines” & it seems the once lovable R & B  singer became a douche bag as he enjoyed the kind of success he had only ever dreamed of, with pictures of him openly flirting with random chicks popping up online.

There was the picture of him grabbing a socialite’s a$$ after the VMAs in September 2013 with his wife not too far off (see pic above) & another of him kissing some French girl earlier this year (see below). There is only so much a woman can take.

EXCLUSIVE NEWS| I’m Addicted To Sex, I Must Have Sex Everyday’- Maheeda Reveals In a Recent Interview


!

Controversial singer, Maheeda who was once a prostitute is known for sharing raunchy pictures of herself in a recent interview reveals that her fans should expect more from her.

The mother of one who has been married to her husband for two years now doesn't seem to bother or care about what anyone thinks of her as she discusses her love for sex, boys, and shares her story before the naked pictures.

Excerpts;

Do you feel by taking off your clothes at every chance you get, that you are sending a good message to your daughter?

I don’t know, because the way people take things are very different. My daughter is now 13, and I once sat my daughter down and asked her what she thought about my video, and she just said ‘Why did you take your clothes off’, and I said I wanted to get attention, and she was like, ‘Okay’. You know the orientation in Europe is completely different from around here.



You seem to derive a lot of pleasure from flaunting your private parts. Why?
Honestly, some years back, I wanted to start wearing bum shorts on the TV, but I was scared of what people would say. But all of a sudden, bum shorts were everywhere. I wanted to wear panties also, but was also scared of what people will say, and all of a sudden everyone is wearing it. And when I wanted to get naked in a music video, people were like I shouldn’t do it. But I had to do it, because I didn’t want anyone to do it before me. You know it is show business, and there are competitors.

How has being semi-nude majority of the time made an impact on your career?
I feel like this is one of the best peaks of my career. I was telling my team that maybe I should just keep taking off my clothes, but they are like, I have to sing. They are trying to get me to have a balance even though getting naked is what brought me all the attention, but they really want me to focus on the music.

On being in your comfort zone now
Yes! I would say that, because I’m a crazy person, I love sex, I love attention, I love boys, I love music, I love attention, I love modelling. Everything that I love is what I’m doing.

You love sex? How much do you love it?

A lot… I’m addicted to sex, and I have to have sex everyday.

How many times do you have sex in a day?
At least once everyday, and if there’s no guy around me, I’ll help myself by masturbating. I have a lot of sextoys; in fact, I’m a regular customer. It’s like food to me, and you have to eat. It is very healthy and it gives you the right curves and my body is used to it.

You mean your body needs sex to function normally?
Yes! Sometimes I just squirt, like when am having sex, and because I am used to it and my body needs it.

On Afrocandy offer to appear in her porn movies. Is there any chance you’ll ever do porn?
No way! This is working for me, so why do I have to do that?  She’s doing all that and she’s getting her money and I’m also getting the same money doing what I’m doing, so why should I do porn. I enjoy sex but I’m not sure I want to do it in front of the whole Nigeria.

Vote Nigeria's very own Oluwatobi Paul Martin's in the Samsung lunching people project ( vote appy song )

About this project

Due to my inability to play any musical instrument, the idea is to use apps to make very good music. My aim is to become an authority or a household name in the music industry. I intend to open the eyes of other people like me who have settled with various reasons why they should never pursue their dreams. I'm very creative I have written lots of poems and songs before now hence I think it's time to take it to the next level. I have a Masters degree in Arts Design & Humanity; I'm UK-Based!


Dear Aburo,

My name is Lori Tosan and I am the Features Co-editor for 3M360  MAGAZINE We love your video are would like to run a story about you!
What is your name, background and education? 
My name is Oluwatobi Paul Martins (ABURO) and I am a yorubA (Aburoy) u from Ogun/Ondo State. I was born in Lagos and lived there till 1999 when I had to relocate to Abuja with my parents. In 2010, after my NYSC I moved to UK to further my studies. I am a Graduate of Architecture from the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt and also a Post Graduate of Design Management from De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. 

2. Talk about your incline to music?
I am an aspiring performing artiste with performance ranging from music, acting, writing, directing and designing - the arts in general. I'm a talented and educated interesting lad full of innovation and creativity. I thrive when good things play on air but of recent years, a lot of air plays have not gone down with me a good way. I cherish good contents, conceptual materials, professional output, qualitative listening, morals and fun. These are the things I hardly find in most of the songs I hear these days - HEAR, not listen!

3. How did you get into music?
It started a little over a decade ago when I realized most of the songs I liked are usually in the first albums of a new artist and just when I expect to hear something good in their next albums, I'm often always disappointed. That was when I thought to only play the first albums instead but when I realized I was getting board, I started writing mine instead. 

Secondly, I am already really tired of hearing repetitive concepts/styles/sounds and I believe I have the right dash of colors to spark things up.

I originally started with creative writing - poetry/poems/proses/stories/articles. I decided to go into singing after I'd completed my studies and gained solid and profound ideologies ranging from the range of genres I listen to (NOT HEAR), the places/culture I visit and multi-cultured people I meet locally and internationally.

4. Talk about genres of songs and few good artistes you listen to?
I listen to Reggae, Afro Range, RnBs, RnB Hip Hop, Pop Rock, Indie Rock, Soft Jazz, Alternative/Neo/Southern Soul, and Classical.  I love Pharrell Williams, Banky W, Justin Timberlake, Dare Art Alade, Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones, Asa, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, Muse, Bez, Linking Park, R. Kelly, Wizkid, Boyz II Men, Maxwell, M.I, Ed Sheeran, Emili Sandé, P-Square among others.

4. What inspires you?
I don't write/create when I am - obviously - in a really low or high state of mind. That explains why a lot of artistes don't produce better things after that first initial stage when everything gets steady and good. For me, innovation and creativity is a part of me. I exhume concepts and ideologies all the time. I am not one to acquaint with inferior trends. At same time, I am very much aware if my beginning as I am willing to learn a lot much as I am ready to give so much.
