| "Love gone sour" on Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem reunion show Day 16 Posted: 01 Jul 2020 06:30 AM PDT Day 16 of the ongoing BBNaija Pepper Dem Reunion show saw scores of not so tidy linens getting laundered on live television and we bet the audience completely loved it! Catch the highlight from the latest episode of the ongoing Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem Reunion Show.Former housemates, Mercy, Ike, Diane and Elozonam each took turns to be the bull's eye as they exchanged thoughts on their love stories within and outside the house. Catch the highlights:Mercy and Ike Ike may drive Mercy crazy as she repeatedly declares during the show, but Mercy can't seem to get over her beau. The on and off lovebirds reminisced on how they first met during auditions but didn't see the potential in each other till their second/third week in Big Brother's house.  According to Mercy, Ike was nothing like the men she had encountered in her past while for Ike, Mercy's elusiveness and flirting tendencies ignited the challenger in him. The lovers also cited some of the reasons that are constantly on each other's throats. Mercy blamed cultural diversity for most of their travails while Ike hinted on Mercy and her fans who oftentimes try to embarrass him. Diane, the couple's bestie weighed in simply to urge Ike to be less spontaneous with his block button especially as women are allowed to act up every now and then. Not to be sexist or anything of the sort! Speaking of Diane, the former housemate suffered an emotional breakdown towards the show's closing credits. Here is how it went down: Diane and Elozonam Elozonam and Diane hit it off right after the former got into the house. For Elozonam, it was birthed from Diane's warm welcome and her honesty about her 'saga' with three male housemates.  Diane seemed to see things on an intellectual level. Even though dark-skinned men gave her the kick, she revealed she realized how sapiosexual Elozonam was and that got her hooked. However, things nosedived between them after the show. Diane blamed Elozonam's inability to let things go for their troubles while Elozonam shared how he often felt like the third/fourth teir option in their relationship. At this point, speculations began to fly around giving room to argue that their problematic relationship had something to do with an unknown dark-skinned model-like man. Ebuka however dropped a bombshell involving a Mawuli and this prompted Diane's breakdown.  | ||
| IG of Police orders probe of policemen who arrested D’Banj’s accuser Posted: 01 Jul 2020 05:30 AM PDT The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu has ordered the immediate probe of the policemen who arrested Seyitan Babatayo, the lady who accused music star D'banj of rape. The IG is acting on a petition from the accuser's lawyers.Adamu gave the order in a letter dated Thursday, June 25, 2020, as reported by Punch.In the letter signed by his Principal Staff Officer, DCP Odowu Owiohunwa and addressed to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Criminal Investigation Department, Garke, Adamu revealed that he was acting based on a petition he received from lawyers from Ojoge, Omileye and Partners representing Babatayo who accused D'Banj of rape."I forward forthwith copy of a letter dated June 18, 2020, with its attachment received from Ojoge, Omileye and Partners on the above subject," part of the letter read. "I am to respectfully convey the directive of the Inspector-General of Police that you deal." In the petition that was referred to in Adamu's letter, Babatayo's lawyers accused the police of trying to help D'banj to silence a victim. "According to our client, she was told to write a statement denying ever meeting with Mr. Oyebanjo (D'Banj) and to also state that she lied against the person of Mr. Oyebanjo," part of the petition from Babatayo's letter read. "In actual fact, our client was about to write the statement which she believed would be a basis for her release when the counsel came in and stopped her from writing such a statement." "The counsel further informed the policemen that all actions to the alleged rape of our client in December 2018 by Mr. Oyebanjo have been transferred to the DIG FCID for a thorough investigation and that they need to stay the action." The petition also states that while efforts were being made to bail Babatayo from police detention, D'Banj's manager Damien Okoroafor prevented the release of lady. These series of events allegedly happened after Babatayo came out to accuse D'banj of raping in a hotel room in Victoria Island in December 2018.  | ||

| [EP Review]: Attifaya announces himself with 'Faya Vibes' Posted: 01 Jul 2020 04:00 AM PDT This might be the first time you've heard of Attifaya, but you've definitely heard from him before. Before becoming Attifaya, he was called Attitude, the convener of 2019's proper 'gbef music' titled, 'Higher Your Body' featuring Mayorkun, Reekado Banks and BOJ. Attifaya should be proud, this is an impressive EP.He's contributed to some of your favourite songs over the past four years, but that's not the story for now.The story is Faya Vibes, the five-track EP that the Rapper-Singer-Sung-Rapper hybrid released a few days ago and it might be worth your time. Production is handled by Altims, Tempoe and Type A. 'Funk,' opens up the EP to Afro-fusion/Afro-swing sounds and dancehall percussion."Wasn't born in April, I can't be fooled..." is a weak line, but the overall spirit of the song and its deft use of rap as mode of delivery is commendable. It's simple, straightforward and easily digestible. It also suits the Afro-pop sound like UK rappers use Afro-swing to create more radio friendly sounds. 'Just Vibes' is this writer's favourite song on this EP and he dreams of a remix featuring BOJ, Falz and Ajebutter22. The commercial potential of this songs comes from its messaging and the madness what Type A and Altims conjured on the beat - a fusion of Afro-pop snares and strings, and rap-friendly percussion. The deceptive cadence on that hook is also commendable, with its conveyance of Attifaya's braggadocio and vindictive lines. Oh, he sells 'Just Vibes' and we're buying. 'WTF' is the anthem of a Yoruba demon - or in more acceptable terms, a playboy. Built on what Blaqbonez calls the 'Boombastic sound,' it features the rapper. It's also no coincidence that it's produced by Tempoe. While Attifaya and Blaqbonez admire the women they respectively sing about, it almost feels like they're joining issues with and producing a male-oriented version of Rihanna's 'Needed Me.' Now we men also have an excuse for bad behaviour. Inject into my bloodstream, viva patriarchy! 'Reckless' is an Afro-swing song that houses a warped out vocal sample for its hook and strings suited to an 'action film' for other parts. 'Reckless' might be called 'an excuse' for bad behaviour in this woke world, but it's just a warning by Attifaya. Call it a caveat - this is fire music, abeg. 'Tension' is yet another Afro-swing song that feels like something B Young would make. Attifaya sings about a sexual encounter. He sings, "Tension, pressure wasn't my intention," but that part is slightly confusing. How does that relate to sex, there is an explanation but it's quite confusing - that's the point. Faya Vibes sounds like the fusion of Afro-Caribbean sounds from predominantly lower-class, black neighborhoods with what Falz, Sess, Prettyboy D-O, Higo and Blaqbonez can produce when they want to rap and make pop music. In other words, it's fire. Attifaya should be proud, this is an impressive EP. It will be interesting to monitor his journey from here - he definitely has something. Keep going, Attitude... Sorry, Attifaya. Ratings: /10 • 0-1.9: Flop • 2.0-3.9: Near fall • 4.0-5.9: Average • 6.0-7.9: Victory • 8.0-10: Champion Pulse Rating: /10 7.0 - Victory  | ||

You said you would give me a job without knowing me from anywhere, without knowing my capabilities." "All I had was my educational qualification and thirst to work and learn on the job. Prior to this I had tried to work in other production outfits but none took me not because I wasn't qualified but because they probably didn't believe in me. " "You on the other hand, believed in me, took me as a son, scolded me when I messed up all in a bid to make me better at my craft. Only the patient and hardworking will understand who you really are." "Thank you mom for everything and may God keep blessing you… @funkejenifaakindele I really appreciate you ma!!"  | ||
