Davido reveals why he Went Back To School After Starting Music

Posted: 06 Sep 2020 11:00 PM PDT

Nigerian singer and DMW record label boss, David Adeleke better known as Davido, has revealed that he returned to school to satisfy his father in order to concentrate on his career.

Davido made this known in a recent Instagram Live chat as a guest artiste on Grammy Museum, a platform ensuring the magic and stories of music are taught and experienced through exhibits, education, and public programming.

The 'A Good Time' crooner who has been on a break from social media for months revealed that he'll be back after releasing his much-anticipated body of work 'A Better Time'.

He also disclosed that Don Jazzy and D'banj inspired him to take up music.

He said, "In the early stage of my career, I was like a one-man-band. For my first single, I made the beat, and recorded the song myself. I mixed and mastered Dami duro myself. When I was getting bigger, I could no longer do everything myself. Now, I have producers and songwriters who I work with.

I now believe in collective efforts. The business side of everything is important. Music is just about 30 or40 per cent. Going back to school helped me concentrate. Sometimes in life, you just have to sacrifice. It was something I had to do for my father."

Speaking further, the Atlanta-born singer said Don Jazzy and D'banj inspired him to do African music.

He said, "Coming from Atlanta and just hanging around them inspired me. I remember seeing them with Jay-Z and Kanye West in a room. They had a lot to do with me wanting to do music. My father has also been a mentor."

Asked why he didn't pursue the family business like his siblings, the Omo Baba Olowo crooner said,

"It wasn't that I wanted to rebel; I was just in love with music. I could not concentrate on something else. I was slacking in school and other things I wasn't supposed to slack in because of my love for music. I had to fight for it. It's what I knew I was destined to do. I was learning how to record, so I was slacking in other things. Music took over me."

Real Warri Pikin – I’ve never been Shy of my Curvy Body

Posted: 06 Sep 2020 10:30 PM PDT

Aside from being a comedienne and on-air personality, Anita Asuoha, also known as Real Warri Pikin, is a celebrity that has a curvaceous figure

The mother of two also said it was funny that some people often think she's not a graduate or cannot speak English because of her signature Warri' pidgin.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, Asuoha said, "Childbirth gave me all my curves; it was after I had kids that I gained weight. I have never been shy of my curvy body. I love it and I have also been working on it so that I can be fit. I have been experiencing knee pains lately and that's why I'm keeping fit. The plan is not to go skinny because I still love to be a 'thick madam.'

"I am a fan of originality because I know that if you are original, you will do things effortlessly. Many people do certain things to stay relevant and it works for some of them. It also depends on your personality and the version of yourself that you're selling. For example, I cannot present myself as a sexy person so much so that I will start wearing skimpy things and twerking online. My followers will be shocked because my brand does not depict that. But for some people, that is what resonates with them.

"Some people don't know I can speak English fluently because of the way I speak 'Warri Pidgin.' Some people are also surprised that I went to school, let alone am a graduate. For example, I recently posted a throwback photo of when I was a corps member and I received some funny comments on Instagram.''

The comedienne who said her husband was not bothered that she is a tomboy added that she did not agree that all celebrities were proud.


She said, "My husband does not caution me against any of the contents that I churn out. I'm really a 100 per cent tomboy and it doesn't bother him.

"And as for me, a celebrity is not proud because he or she is famous. Unfortunately, I hear people say that about me. I know that I have not changed; people need to understand that once you become popular, you don't change; you grow. There are some things that you won't see them do anymore.

"Some family members and friends also don't understand but I have come to understand that celebrities need to balance their lives because actions speak louder than words. You cannot convince everyone that you are humble. When I am in a bad mood and a fan enthusiastically says 'hi,' I greet them back well so I don't appear proud. Thoughts like this are inevitable so one has to be very careful."

Rev. Father Oluoma – Your virginity isn’t for your husband, no man deserves it

Posted: 06 Sep 2020 06:00 AM PDT

A Catholic priest, Fada Oluoma, of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, has slammed parents who ignore their male children and only teach their female children how to be virgins.

According to him, one randy boy can impregnate up to 20 girls because their parents didn't team them same thing they taught their girl child, and they will make nonsense of the lesson you have taught your girls.

Father Oluoma went further to tell ladies that no man deserves their virginity, that virginity is not a gift to their husbands. He said;

"Parents you only teach girls to be virgins, it's only the girl children you teach virginity.
As Fr. Kelvin put it, you are teaching your daughters to be virgins, your neigbour is teaching her daughters to be virgins.
You are not teaching your sons how to be virgins. Your neighbour's son will begin to admire your daughter when you are not around they will mix and talk, women fall now.
That you did not teach the boys to be virgins means that they will make nonsense of the lesson you have taught your girls. It can take one randy boy in the neighourhood to disvirgin 20 girls, and you make them think that virginity is a gift to their husbands. Listen, your virginity is not a gift to your husband, no man deserves your virginity. Is he a virgin himself? The reason the Bible asked you to be a virgin is Matthew 5. (Blessed are the pure for they shall see God).

Your virginity facilitates your relationship with God, not your husband."
