“I listened to my songs, I did well. I’m shooting the videos soon” – Tonto Dikeh

To every hardened critic and those that think she will be a flash in the pan, Tonto Dikeh has a message for you all: There is no stopping her. In an exclusive interview with Stella Dimok-Korkus, Tonto speaks extensively about her music career and how she plans to build on from her first two singles: What prompted you into singing? I love music and I wanted to do my own thing, to contribute my own music. You got monstrous negative response to both singles. How did feel with all the attacks? I listened to my songs over and over again and I told myself I did well. In all I see only the positivity in it,I made History. Peoples opinion of how my music was has further strengthened my belief that dreams die when you let the next man’s opinion get to you and I am using now to pass a message to everyone out there, if you can just do it. Don’t let anyone’s opinion kill whatever dream you have or try to stop you from taking the next step. Click to continue You tweeted that you were not giving up. Does that mean you will become actively involved in music? I love my acting career and I don’t see myself jumping into full time music.

Wizkid to work with Godwin Tom, MI Abaga’s former manager

A few weeks ago, we reported that pop star Wizkid and manager Osagie Osarenkhoe parted ways. We’ve got news for you – the pop star may have hired popular manager Godwin Tom. Wiz and Osarenkhoe, who runs her own outfit M.e.tal Management, ended their business relationship in June 2012, and we’re told Wizzy has been without a manager since then. Meanwhile, Wizzy’s label EME also recently announced that they are ‘currently seeking for a General Manager to manage its growing business and build up the EME label.’ Godwin seems like the likely replacement, having handled M.I, in whose career he played a vital role, and rapper duo Show Dem Camp. He also had a stint with singer Airis and is currently part of singer Waje‘s management team. Inside sources tell us that Godwin hasn’t signed any contracts, as he will be on probation for now. Meanwhile, Mr Tom said ’I’ve seen the news and there’s a lot of speculation. There has been no announcement of such so let’s just leave it at that for now‘. But going by his words on social network Twitter, Godwin seems to be excited about the new role. ‘Things are coming together… I am doing what I love… What Im good at. I dont regret being who I am! I am the best me! I dont regret one bit of my last 5+ years. They were the best. And best is relative… Things are about to get better!‘ he tweeted.

MI Abaga records ‘Ashes’ in memory of Aluu 4

“4 young men died at the hands of a lynch mob on the 5th of October 2012. Whether or not their deaths will mean anything, or fade out of our minds as just another meaningless tragedy, is up to us and what we do from here on. I hope this song captures that message. Nothing would be worse than for a death to mean nothing” – MI Abaga.

Lyrics 
We were down a sandy beach, All night talking to your mouth’s words. Tell me where you would like to be. Tonight don’t be afraid to dream. Lean on the fire for a while. Cause in the morning it’ll all just be ashes on the ground Instead it be them, let it be me. Since I will die inevitably, Then let it be, that it be said When I am dead: some other was free, some other was fed Some other, not me, was able to see That long as we live inside a country where no one is safe, No one is safe. We only evade, try to escape The imminent doom But closer the date looms. It comes for all. If we must go, then at least, When we fall… When we’re all ashes… If I am slain, let them forever

MI Announced As United Nation’s UNODC Ambassador for Smuggling of Migrants

Chocolate City Music rapper Jude Abaga, popularly known as Mr. Incredible was knighted on Thursday, 9 October 2012 as UNODC’s Goodwill Ambassador on Smuggling of Migrants in Abuja. Smuggling has been defined as the procurement of such peoples into a State for financial or material benefit. Virtually every country in the world is affected by this crime; Nigeria is no exception. In Europe, Nigerians constitute several hundreds of thousands illegal migrants with half of them concentrated in the United Kingdom. Poverty, crime, corruption and violence have been part of the vicious cycle contributing to this considerable emigration pressure. Traffickers offer young women an opportunity to travel to Europe with promises of good jobs and the ability to cater for their families, while boys and men are smuggled with promises of safety and similar work opportunities. M.I, has been selected to speak against this vicious cycle. He serves as a role model capable of speaking powerfully against such smuggling. His journey in hip-hop within Africa stands to remind young men and women that even when the odds are stacked against you, persistence and hard-work pay off.
