Foremost Nigerian showbiz maestro, singer and activist, Charly Boy has released a single 'Mumu Don Do?', featuring ace singer and performer, Oritse Femi.According to him, the song is to drive societal change and value re-awakening among Nigerians, especially the youth who are supposed to hold leaders accountable.The "Nwata Miss" crooner, who released his debut highlife album over three decades ago, said he had decided to use music as his age-long passion to provoke Nigerians towards taking responsibility in nation building.He said: "I am giving my fans a birthday present with my song with Oritse Femi, "Mumu Don Do? (MDD)" "Let them go download it on youtube and listen to it, because I still wonder, whether Nigerians 'mumu never do.' "The message is that wishes and prayers alone will not solve our problems, because God will not do for us what he expects us to do for ourselves," he said. The "Areafada" further explained that he had decided to work with the "Double Wahala" crooner because of his philosophical style of music that addressed societal ills. "I have always thought that Nigerian artistes are the best in the world, and that is why as PMAN president I fought so hard for the respect of Nigerian artistes. "Its that same love that is pushing me till today to always want to work with them because they are my children and I love what they are doing. "My dream is to be able to work with as many of them, because from them too I learn a great deal. "It is they that keep me young and youthful all the time, and that is why Charly Boy can never get out of fashion because any time I am interacting with them, I draw more inspiration. "I have worked with Falz the Bahd Guy, and now am doing this with Oritse Femi," he said. Charly Boy, also a former President of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN) noted that Nigerian music industry had evolved over the years to become a global brand. He particularly extolled young Nigerian Afro-pop artistes who have showcased the Africa brand of music on the global stage. He added that he was still passionate and committed to the growth of the industry, just as he did when he was PMAN president. "I fought for respect for our artistes because I looked at the industry then and discovered that our artistes were not as colourful compared to as they are today. "As that time, it was only 10 per cent of Nigerian music that were played in our radio and TV stations, and even in night clubs, the rest were foreign music. "Our intellectual property were not handled right, as many artistes were unaware of what those rights were. "Those were some of the things I set out to change, and I was able to use my goodwill and connections to cause the changed."  |

| Jabi Lake Mall Board Denies Authorising Naira Marley Concert Posted: 21 Jun 2020 03:30 AM PDT  The senior management and the Board of Directors of the Jabi Lake Mall Development Company have expressed shock and disappointment over what they described as the unauthorised Naira Marley concert that took place in the outdoor parking last weekend.THISDAY gathered that the board has condemned this illegal action in the strongest terms, clarifying that the event took against express instructions given to the property manager, Broll , not to host any special events without their consent , during this COVID -19 pandemic period.It was learnt that at a recent virtual meeting, the Jabi Mall management team had been reminded to continue the excellent work of ensuring a safe environment for both its tenants and customers as part of compliance with the NCDC guidelines and the FCTA regulations.According to a source close to the shareholders, "Jabi Lake Mall was built in 2015 with the vision of creating a beautiful lakeside property that allowed the residents of Abuja to shop, relax, network and have fun. The mall was also designed to invigorate the local economy and provide a safe and comfortable location for retailers to sell their goods."As is typical for large properties like this, the shareholders selected a property manager who was paid to manage the property – Broll Property Services. Broll is one of Africa's leading commercial property services company with operations in Angola, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Swaziland, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia. They are well known in the industry and we selected them on the basis of their stellar reputation," the source explained. The source disclosed that the shareholders have made special efforts during this COVID-19 pandemic period and donated to help support the building of isolation and treatment centres as well as in the education sector. According to him, the shareholders were shocked to learn that a middle-level employee of Broll Management Company, for unknown reasons ignored express directives and the laws and regulations of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This employee, it was learnt, took the illegal decision to host the event on the property without informing their superiors at Broll, and the shareholders only found out about this concert after the fact via social media. "This event should never have happened and an an independent investigation has been launched to gather all the facts," he said. THISDAY has confirmed that the shareholders have moved swiftly and called an emergency meeting on Sunday and summoned the management company for a meeting on Monday. "Depending on the outcome of the investigation, Broll is likely to be fired as property manager unless it dismisses all its staff that are involved and cooperates fully with the prosecution. Shareholders intend to cooperate fully with FCT in taking all legal actions against the event organizers and sponsors," the source said. "Shareholders of Jabi Lake Mall are fully cooperating with the FCT Ministry and support any and all governmental action against all those who orchestrated this irresponsible that has marred the reputation of the Mall that has to date fully ensured a safe and healthy business environment for both the tenants and customers. Shareholders main concern at this time is for the tenants — survival of their businesses and the employees' welfare —as well as the comfort and convenience of their customers. Knowing that Jabi Lake Mall has pharmacies, grocery stores, food outlets and other essential services, they are working hard to get these stores reopened so the residents of Abuja are not inconvenienced. Knowing that the current financial climate has already been a blow to businesses, they are working hard to get the mall reopened so that these businesses can continue to service their customers, generate revenue, pay their staff and pay their taxes," the source added  |

You can 't be a star by being beautiful or fair or voluptuous.Sexiness and beauty can only make people like you but it won't keep you there for long.'' My 'sexiness' didn't give me any special privilege, although it's an added advantage. Another thing that helped me is that I carry grace. When you have the grace to make it , no one can stop you. When you look around, there are some actors and actresses that are not fine but there is something about them that makes them successful. ''Speaking about the recent death of her father and her close relationship with veteran actor, Pete Edochie , Etiko said '' I' m not related to Pete Edochie but he 'ps like a father to me . He shows me much fatherly love. I was told that he had not gone out since the COVID – 19 pandemic but when I told him that I had lost my father , he came to sympathise with me" Source: Punchng.com  |
