Top 5 Nigerian Crew Jamz (Videos)

They say two heads are better than one, right? So if there are more than two heads, it's supposed to be a good thing right? Anyway, as Nigerians we all appreciate a good jam, especially when its a mash up of various musical talents under one label.

Here is my list of the top 5 songs and videos by Nigerian labels/crews.. Enjoy!

GGW - Top 5 Big Booty Videos

Since I posted the Top 5 rumpshaker videos earlier this month, some readers haved asked for this particular GGW Top 5; so here you have it. The videos that show the artistes and their video directors sat down to discuss butt sizes along with lighting and plot..lol.

FINE FINE LADY - LYNXXX

KUKERE - IYANYA

5 & 6 - NAETO C

ON ME - DJINEE

PRIVATE TRIPS - WANDE COAL

Generation NeXT - GOLDPiKiN

If there has ever been a time when you wished for something new, a different kind of sound, or simply a breathe of fresh air; I am happy to let you know that you've got it.

Out with his second official single, after he previously released 'NO GET YOUR POWER' last year; Henry Orji-Olusoji - popularly called GOLDPiKiN has shown that he means serious business with his unique style of music. A style he has aptly dubbed 'Hybrid music', simply because it's a blend of hip hop, high-life and a touch of traditional music.

With She Sabi (produced by Ex-O), GOLDPiKiN has given us music to jam in our cars and a madt song to throw in every club mix. Freshly signed with management company PHOENiX PR., he is set to take the Nigerian music scene by storm!

Pity my Hashtag...

Hi guys,

If you are a frequent reader of my blog, you would by now already know how much I hate the hypocrisy in Nigerians. We are a nation plagued by people who want to look good even when it doesn’t make sense.

I write this because of the recent social media ‘pity party’ upsurge. 

In the past two months, we have been constantly hammered by all kinds of media, especially audio, visual and the internet to donate money to help save lives. First it was Rhythm FM, Abuja’s OAP – Kachi; then it was #SaveFunmi and even more recently the #SaveDebbie movement.

I am not against trying to save a live, but what I would rather do is SAVE LIVES!! We heard about Kachi because of his ties with Rhythm, Funmi because she is an aspiring wig from the great Unilag, and thanks to the ‘twitter celebs’ like @GossipGirliee and @TwitterOracle who have decided to ride Debbie’s bandwagon. The question here is after all these Millions of Naira have been raised and utilized – WHAT NEXT??

Would those monies guarantee these people a better life? Would they live longer than the rest of us? Would they get a stable means of sustenance after their operations? Would they even survive the operations? When they are done with the operation, would we start a #FEEDTHEM movement again for them to survive?

I love life. I love people, and I have a very big heart, but what causes my heart to ache is the fact that we turn our backs on ourselves until it feels good to do good, or when we can do good under the bright lights. If all these artistes and celebs were earlier contacted to donate towards A CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, A STATE OF THE ART DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE OR A SUBSIDIZED DRUG STORE, would they be this eager to drop large amounts of money??

All we do is wait till our birthdays, album launches, or when we’ve got a camera crew following us around before we do good. We really don’t have to wait till ONE person is in critical need before we do good, when we can SAVE THOUSANDS by acting on time.

Let’s all join hands to change this trend, let us think about ALL the people who don’t know about twitter, who can’t get to radio and who don’t have as many friends in high places; those are the people who really NEED our help. I just dropped my 2 Cents; it might seem harsh but deep down you know I speak the truth.

Singer Kefee is married.. #Again

Gospel R&B singer Kefee Obareki has apparently settled down with a new partner; she tied the knot with popular radio host and show producer Teddy Esosa Don-Momoh popularly known as Da Fresh Prince.

The couple got married on Saturday, March 3, 2012 in Sapele, Delta State. The wedding ceremony and news about their marriage was however kept on an extreme lowkey.

‘Thank You Jesus! I Owe it all to You!!!‘, was an excited Kefee's tweet amidst all the congratulatory messages she received. The couple in some weird way managed to keep their relationship away from the Press and everyone else... Wow! They should start a school or something. 

Teddy is the host and producer of the Morning Splash on 101.5 Star FM. We’ve heard that Kefee’s new husband was familiar with Alec ( Kefee's ex-hubby) during their brief marriage. Do I smell a snitch?

Juju - Ice Prince

Colourful video. AND IT'S NOT IN A CLUB!!!
I think Iceprince should hook up with a gym membership though.. Dude is chopping up (getting fat). Lol

Oyi Remix - Flavour ft Tiwa Savage

Nice video. Yards better than the original song and video.
About the KISS though, my lips are sealed.. lol.

Are Wizkid and Karen Igho involved?

This picture was taken at a recent event in the city of Lagos. With all the gist about Wizzy and Tonto Dikeh, can we say he has 'freed' the tattoo geh for Winner of the 2011 Big Brother Africa Amplified, Miss Karen Igho? Anyways, we shall wait...lol

BB Etiquette.. Part 1

Hi guys!

                There is no denying the fact that the Blackberry smartphone has taken over the phone/smartphone markets along with, well, most of our lives. The attachment most people have for their ‘BBs’ is quite ridiculous. A necessity it is for some and an indulgent habit for most.

                I have a couple of reservations about the way it has shaped our lives and the way most people (Nigerians especially) have created virtual lives out of a mere communication device. Below, I have permitted myself to vent..

• Broadcast messages:

                Why would you have a car and complain when a ‘rubber’ tire bursts? Why would you buy an air-conditioner and then complain that it makes you cold? It is for this very same reason that you buying a Blackberry phone also comes with the risk of a couple of people abusing some of its uses. The broadcast function is one that enables a fellow user send a message to ALL of his/her contacts; so if you happen to be on the contact list of what I like to call a ‘serial BCer’, then too bad.

                This is not enough reason to hate, curse or delete anyone who sends you a BC. How many of you smash your TV screens whenever that very annoying advert comes up? Or how many companies have been put out of business because you think their adverts are shitty? Do open EVERY broadcast message you receive, they might contain some really valuable information (with the exception of those who you have identified as the senders of GOOD MORNING, HAPPY SUNDAY, RAIN IS FALLING, GOD WILL PUNISH YOU IF YOU DON’T DANCE ALANTA IN CHURCH etc.).

• Putting up nude/topless/bum/boob photos as your display picture:

                DO NOT even get angry if you start to get random pings asking about your cup size or if the body parts belong to you. I say do not get angry not because they can’t be very annoying, but because you asked for it. If a lady in her right senses decides to put on a very low cut blouse, then any guy in his right senses can decide to stare at her boobs! It’s a simple case of action and reaction.

                If you keep putting naked pictures on display, do not vex if I ask how much for a night. I do not advocate the crossing of personal boundaries or the excuse of seductive dressing as a reason to rape; but I say like our elders in Nigeria – If you do not plan to eat the food, do not sniff it. If you can handle the onslaught of horny guys whenever you use such seductive pictures or personal messages, then more power to your elbows, but if you can’t, please stop it. You will look like a hooker saying she’s a night hustler when you start to insult a guy who propositions you with a top that barely contains your boobies as your dp.

This is all I am going to touch on right now, the follow up will be out real soon. Please do feel free to visit our facebook page at www.facebook.com/glazegonewild to also add your takes on this particular issue and do not forget to like the page.

Cheers!

Sexy or skanky?

Ssup guys!

This was taken recently on one of my nights out.. Is this stuff we want to keep seeing? You tell me :D.

Confidence?

Howdy y’all?!

My parents and I happened to be watching the ‘X Factor USA’ last week ago; and my dad kept going on about how much confidence Astro (a contestant on the show) has for a 14 year old kid and I could not help but flip. Every time, Nigerians always compare their kids to their age-mates in the diaspora.

“Michael Jackson started singing at the age of 5!”

“Madonna’s daughter has started designing her own make-up line at 14!”…. Yada yada yada.

I had to tell him that it’s easy for them to say kids abroad have the confidence we so very openly lack in this part of the world due to a structural defect that many have tagged ‘culture’. In Yankee and Jand where they are said to lack cultural values that we so dearly hold to our hearts, they are progressing at speeds unimaginable to us even if we all slept and dreamt the very same dream.

Over there, elders, teachers, household staff etc. are addressed by their names, i.e. Mr Paul, Mrs Paula (formally) and their first names (informally). This is unlike Nigeria, where the mere thought of calling a neighbour you absolutely have no relations of any sort with ‘Mr or Mrs’. You will be castigated as a child who is full of pride and absolutely no respect for anyone.

It is so crazy that even in an official setting; I cannot in my capacity as the boss properly scold an erring driver, gateman or subordinate who is older than I am without becoming the devil that wears Prada. I do not understand how in a country/culture that any, and I mean ANY random person can send you on futile and useless errands just because they are older than you, a child is expected to have confidence.

The confidence that probably would fetch you the ass-whooping of your life, when that ‘aunty or uncle’ that bears that title only because he comes from the same geo-political zone as your mom or dad or he/she owns a shop on your street reports that sole act of insubordination to your parents. The confidence that has been sucked by parents and teachers who would do wrong and punish us for questioning such actions.

The very confidence that we have been brought up to lack, even when the requests of these so-called elderly people are discordant with logic. This same FEAR for elders which we have been raised with has caused woe, sadness, absolute sorrow and even death to the families of those little girls that have been raped because an‘UNKU’ sent them on an errand, the young boys that have been kidnapped because their teachers told them to wait behind after school, or the men/women caught with drugs or body parts because they had too much respect for the ‘elder’ that gave them the package, that they could not even ask what it was they were transporting.

The respect that has seen many dreams die with their owners because they didn’t in their prime, have the audacity to question or alter the ideas of a boss or superior who probably had nothing to offer.

Jim Iyke getting his butt sued..

According to the Police Prosecutor, Mr Chijoke Okezie, one Habiba Abubakar wrote a petition to the Inspector General of Police (IG) to investigate the fraud. Read on....

And during investigation, they discovered that the actor deceived Abubakar into acquiring 15 per cent equity shares to the tune of N15 million from his company, Untamed Records Ltd.

The police said that Jim has admitted that the money was truly paid into his Oceanic Bank account No. 00500173691. And the police claimed that the money has since been used by the actor for personal matter instead of for the initial plans.

The police also said that when Abubakar confronted the actor, he beat her up and threatened to kill her.

Jim Iyke is now being charged with criminal breach of trust, criminal force, assault, cheating and criminal misappropriation which contravened sections 312,265,322 397 and 309 of the Penal Code.

The actor pleaded not guilty to the charges.

His lawyer, Esther Uzoma, made an oral bail application for the accused in pursuit of section 341(2) of the Criminal Procedural Code.

She prayed the court to grant the accused bail on liberal terms and for self-recognition, and promised that the accused would not jump bail.

Chief Magistrate Okeagu Azubike said that the bail application had merit and granted the accused bail in the sum of N500, 000 with two sureties in like sum.

He ordered that the sureties must be responsible Nigerians who must reside within the jurisdiction of the court.

He adjourned the case to the 9th of December 2011.

It’s seems to us like love story gone sour. 

Jim Iyke cupping a feel..

Glo Naija Sings finally over!

After weeks of thrilling performances and all, Abuja based upcoming singer Christian has become the winner of Glo Naija Sings season 3!Christian was announced winner this evening, Sunday, November 13, 2011 at the tail end of a spectacular finale.

The grand finale was spiced up with guest performances from diva Onyeka Onwenu(who performed with the top 10), Idols West Africa alumni Omawumi, Season 2’s winner KayCee and the host of the show Darey. 

Singer/producer eLDee also made an appearance.

It was quite cool to watch the three finalists Vicky, Mattade and eventual winner Christian pair up with Mo’Cheddah, Jaywon and Davido respectively as they struggled with the lyrics of the songs as they each performed duets. lol.

National honours or Sallah meat?

Stakeholders in the Nigerian entertainment sector have reasons to celebrate as some of their own were proud recipients of prestigious national awards conferred on them by the President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on Sunday, November 13, 2011.

Those conferred the award of Member of the Federal Republic (MFR), include veteran actor, Olu Jacobs, actor turned politician, Kanayo O Kanayo, one-half of the ‘Aki and Pawpaw’ duo, Osita Iheme, producer and director, Amaka Igwe, and Nollywood divas Stephanie Okereke and Genevieve Nnaji.

Meanwhile, respected pioneer African novelist and renowned author of bestselling epic novel ‘Things Fall Apart’, Professor Chinua Achebe, has again rejected the national award of Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR) awarded to him by the federal government.

Chinua Achebe

The professor of Africana studies at Brown University, United States, rejected the award on the ground that the concerns he raised when he first rejected the award in 2004 remain unresolved and it was ‘inappropriate’ for the government to offer him the award again.

It will be recalled that 81 year old Professor Achebe had earlier turned down the same award by the Olusegun Obasanjo government in 2004, lamenting the corroding influence of a certain ‘clique of renegades, openly boasting its connections in high places’, who seem ‘determined to turn my homeland into a bankrupt and lawless fiefdom. I am appalled by the brazenness of this clique and the silence, if not connivance, of the Presidency’.

Now that is one man I respect!

Happy 51st Independence Nigeria..

To start with, I want to say..

Congratulations to you all!
You have been wonderful citizens of a country that has plagued us with many insecurities and uncertainties since its very inception. Wide-spread scarcity of resources we have been abundantly endowed with, loss of lives that could have been spared, loss of jobs that were never even sufficient to live on and epileptic power supply.

Those that say only the strong survive must have met with every reader of this post. You have made it through all that; And no matter what our bank balances say, or the fact that we can't even watch the Independence Day Parade because PHCN needs no Federal confirmation before they declare a public holiday of their own. We will dance, celebrate, make merry and hope for a better tomorrow. Thumbs up to  everyone hosting a show of any sort during this period.. We deserve it!

On a lighter note though, below are some 're-mixed' quotes.. Enjoy! :)

1.       He who fights and runs away..

.. is a sharp guy.

2.       He who lives in a glass house..

.. wants to show off his furniture.

3.       Half bread..

.. someone caught you while trying to steal the whole loaf.

4.       One good turn..

.. prevents a slap from the back seat by your boss.

5.       A journey of a thousand miles..

.. submit your form at the embassy.

6.       He who laughs last..

.. didn’t get the joke.

7.       A stitch in time..

.. means you don’t have a spare shirt.
