A friend of mine sent it to me and as soon as i started to listen, the programs manager of Hot FM, Abuja was amused and he said "that sounds like a good song" and he asked for the song, and i gladly gave him.

On this song Dusten Truce talks about his ups and downs in the music industry, the struggle of being heard and basically the hustle of an average Nigerian artiste today.

And why will you like this track? Well its because it is laced up on banging beat with a mad guitar progression and baseline.

For Stealing a China Blackberry Phone, Man Gets 3 Years in Jail without an Option of Fine

A 23-year-old man simply identified as Adepoju Jamiu has been sentenced to three years imprisonment for stealing a China BlackBerry phone worth N17,000.

Jamiu was sentenced by an Ikare Magistrate’s Court in Ondo state for stealing the phone from one Suleiman Asimiyi. This offence, according to police prosecutor, Aigbojie Amileomen, violates Section 383(1) volume one, of criminal laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006.

The police prosecutor reportedly said the accused committed the offence in November 2012 at Olukare Central Mosque, Inu Odi, Okela, Ikare.
On his own part, the accused, without any fuss, pleaded guilty as charged and was subsequently sentenced to three years in prison without an option of fine by the Chief Magistrate, Sunday Adeniyan, who presided over the case.

This is funny, Mr John Yusuf, the director of the Police Pension Office was set free by a high court in Abuja yesterday after paying a N250, 000 fine after pleading guilty to converting N2billion of the police pension fund to personal use. Hmmm in this case he is meant to be jailed  for stealing such a huge amount of money...but instead he was granted bail after paying N250,000 fine while the man that stole a china phone will be sentenced to three years imprisonment...Naija, i hail thee.

To enable Nike enjoy her marriage to him, Soleye divorced his long-time wife Funmi, the mother of his kids.

Now, the marriage is in trouble, and spouses have parted ways. Many people still cannot seem to understand why their marriage crashed so soon.

Last week, Dr Soleye confirmed the fact, but said he and Nike were going to issue a joint press release on their break-up. Nike, on her own, did not reply any of the messages.

As it is now, the crash of the marriage may be giving Nike sleepless nights, but Dr Soleye insists on an amicable separation.

AFCON 2013: PLAYERS THAT DIDNT MAKE THE LIST!!!

While Ivory Coast captain Drogba and the Toure brothers Kolo and Yaya and company head for South Africa, the likes of Samuel Eto’o, Demba Ba and Papiss Demba Cisse are missing out, forced to watch the action on television.

Ba and Cisse failed to join the party when Senegal were kicked out of the 2013 tournament by organisers CAF as punishment for crowd trouble which flared up at the qualifier against Drogba’s Ivorians.

Senegal’s disqualification must have been greeted with quiet relief, though, at the pair’s respective Premier League clubs.

While sorry to see Ba head to London, Newcastle manager Alan Pardew still has a Senegalese ace up his sleeve in the shape of Cisse.

While the Africa Cup showcases the cream of the continent’s abundant talent, joining Ba and Cisse on the absentee list is one of Africa’s biggest names in the shape of Eto’o.

With three World Cups and six Nations Cups under his belt, the Cameroon captain and his team will be sorely missed.

Cameroon’s shock defeat to Cape Verde in the qualifier also robs the 2013 Nations Cup of talented midfielder Alex Song, who moved to Barcelona from Arsenal last August.

As in 2012, the former continental kings Egypt have once again been excluded from the feast of African football.

The Pharaohs have suffered a startling dip in fortune since rattling off three consecutive titles in 2006, 2008 and 2010.

 

Their bid to qualify for 2013, against the sombre backdrop of the Port Said stadium disaster in February which cost the lives of 74 people, came to a premature end with a first round 4-3 defeat to the Central African Republic.

Their absence deprives the Nations Cup of such Egyptian luminaries as goalkeeper Esaam al Hadary, defender Wael Gomaa and midfielder Mohamed Abou Trika.

Of the teams who qualified, Ghana will have to do without the services of Marseille’s star midfielder Andrew Ayew and striker Yahaya Mohamed, who are both injured.

Morocco’s Queens Park Rangers’ midfielder Adel Taarabt, Arsenal’s striker Marouane Chamakh, on loan to West Ham, and Qatar-based midfielder Houssine Kharja all failed to make the Atlas Lions’ squad.

Hosts South Africa must do without retired midfielder Steven Pienaar, Mali’s Mahamadou Diarra is injured, while Nigerian duo Danny Shittu and Shola Ameobi declined their country’s call.

Another Split: Kollertunz Records Parts Ways with Flowssick

This news comes as a surprise to many especially as there was a reportedly good relationship between the Kollertunz boss, Kolawole Olugboyega and Flowssick.

Read the official statement below:
The management of Kollertunz Records would like to officially inform the general public of the termination of its management and working relationship with Abiola David Aina also known as “Flowssick” over protracted contract issues. Our organization took this decision in the face of unresolved and complex negotiations which had been one sided with little consideration for the part of the label after years of investment and long working hours done for the establishment of our former artiste.
Kollertunz Records is an organization that prides its self in believing and investing both financial and human resources for our artiste and their projects, needless to say we gamble and try to prove a point that we are not about the money but the success of our projects and investments.
We would like to state henceforth we have no formal business relations regarding flowssick and that he can be reach by any means he choose to. We trust that the management of flowssick will observe their pledge they made to the label.
This news, adding to the number of recent publicized splits between artistes and their record label, is worrying. We wish both parties the best.
