Nigerian Idol: How I felt after my fellow contestant, Kingdom was announced the winner- Francis Atela

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 10:30 PM PDT

The first runner-up, Francis Otela in an interview with Tofarati Ige has opened up on how he felt after his fellow contestant, Kingdom was declared winner of the Nigerian Idol, season 6.

Airing his opinion, Francis said "I have always had an open mind. I went into the show with the primary objective of winning because we all have to pay bills. When I got into the show, I made friends and those friends became like family. After spending three months with all the contestants, it changed me in a way because we all have similar stories and this made me disabuse my mind from the 'it's either I win or nothing' mentality. Sure, I wanted to win but eventually, when I got closer to everybody, I thought to myself that everybody deserved to win. When we got to the 'top four,' it clicked to me that whoever won deserved it. On the day of the grand finale, just before I went on stage, I was tensed and I prayed to God that I wanted this (to win) badly but He should give me the grace to accept His will for me. When I went on stage and Kingdom was called (as the winner), I was excited and I felt a weight get off my shoulders. I felt instant happiness and gratitude at how far I came. My heart was filled with pure happiness.


Shortly after the grand finale, the Chief Press Secretary to the Benue State Governor made a post on Facebook, praising your reaction after Kingdom was declared winner. He also stated that the state was ready to work with you. Has anyone reached out to you from the Benue State government?

Yes, they reached out to me and it was amazing. It was a humbling experience. It made me feel like I was doing the right thing and I'm on the right track, with the right people. All I ever wanted was the grace to be able to push my music to the best lengths possible. Now, I'm gaining recognition from the state government and it's a big deal, which I don't take for granted.


There are a lot of artists I would love to work with, including Fireboy DML and Ayra Starr. From Nigerian Idol, I would like to work with Akunna, Beyonce, and Emmanuel. They are amazing singers and I believe we can do wonders together on a song.

Kingdom is cool. However, the people I mentioned are those I believe have similar vocals. Kingdom is amazing and I believe he would do better on a song with a female singer, than with me.

Veteran actress, Rita Edochie has expressed a beam of possibilities pertaining to the restoration of Biafra.

In an exchange with a follower via her Instagram, here's what transpired:

Edochie shared a post pertaining to Obi Cubana and his friends as she honors him for investing in his friends.

She wrote:

"Obi Cubana is not the richest man in Nigeria, just that he was busy making his friend's billionaires and young people millionaires. Investing in human development, that's why his mother's burial is the talk in Nigeria. Those he favored in the past want to pay respect to him. From the video I have seen so far, all are going with bags of money and not poison. Grow with your friends. Help people with that your little position today, someone's destiny may be in your hands."

Reacting to this, a follower said that from his observation the Igbo people don't need Biafra.

"Nice ma'am but with what I saw on that day don't think igbo people need Biafra ooo … we chasing cow they bringing them giving them house to stay"

In response, she wrote:

"BIAFRA IS SURE MY DEAR THERE ARE NO TWO WAYS TO THAT. IT'S A QUESTION OF TIME. BIAFRA WILL THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WITH OUR LEADER MAZI NNAMDI KANU."

vMr Macaroni–Why I turn down ‘sugar daddy’ roles in movies

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 05:30 AM PDT

Comedian, actor and activist, Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr. Macaroni has disclosed that he is quick to turn down sugar daddy roles as he looks forward to more intriguing characters.

In an exclusive interview with Scoop, he disclosed that "On the day I was arrested at Lekki tollgate, I was supposed to have a shoot for a big brand. But, when they saw that I was arrested, they called my manager immediately and canceled our deal. They said that they did not want to be associated with me at that time, so it wouldn't seem like they were part of those fighting government. However, that is their fault, not mine. If they had done their research on me, they would have known that my love for humanity comes before any other thing. That is my priority. As a matter of fact, I believe that God has given me my platform to be able to use it to speak for myself and others. That is what I stand."


The actor and skit maker also reveals that he turned down roles that portrayed him as a "freaky freaky" sugar daddy. He said,

"The beauty of being a thespian is that I am able to bring any character to life. Even now, when I am called to feature in a project, I am quick to turn down roles that toe the line of 'freaky-freaky daddy.' I am working on a project now, 'Professor Hard Life' because I want people to see me in another character."

In relation to his career and prowess, he said; "I am a graduate of Theatre Arts and I was trained by the very best— Professor Ahmed Yerima, who is the former Director-General of National Theatre. The content we create is part of acting. It is also important to note that I had been acting professionally before I started churning out social media content. I am working on a lot of projects, so my fans should watch out,"

Iconic Rapper Biz Markie Died At 57

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 01:30 AM PDT

Veteran American rapper, Marcel Theo Hall popularly known as Biz Markie, has died at the age of 57.

Known widely for a career spanning back to 1986, Hall went on to become a beloved cultural figure later in life, celebrated for his spirited personality as much as his massive 1989 hit, "Just A Friend." His death was confirmed by his manager, Jenni D. Izumi.
 
Markie's representative, Jenni Izumi, said the New York rapper, beatboxer, and producer died peacefully Friday evening, July 16, with his wife by his side.


"We are grateful for the many calls and prayers of support that we have received during this difficult time," Izumi said in a statement. "Biz created a legacy of artistry that will forever be celebrated by his industry peers and his beloved fans whose lives he was able to touch through music, spanning over 35 years. He leaves behind a wife, many family members and close friends who will miss his vibrant personality, constant jokes and frequent banter."

"Biz created a legacy of artistry that will forever be celebrated by his industry peers and his beloved fans whose lives he was able to touch through music, spanning over 35 years," Izumi added. "He leaves behind a wife, many family members and close friends who will miss his vibrant personality, constant jokes and frequent banter. We respectfully request privacy for his family as they mourn their loved one."
 
While a cause of death was not revealed, the rapper had struggled in recent years with health issues related to his decade-long battle with Type 2 diabetes.

In April 2020, he was hospitalized due to complications related to the disease, and later that year suffered a stroke after going into a diabetic coma. There were reports he was rehabilitating, but his condition continued to decline, leading to premature reports of Markie's death in late June.
