Nigerian Pop Star TEKNO to Break In North America?

Last year, the Nigerian star Tekno heard an instrumental that reminded him of his breakout hit, "Duro." Though the producer, Krizbeatz, was planning to send the beat elsewhere, Tekno asked to take a crack at it. "Then I went upstairs and ate the beat up," the singer tells Billboard. "The feeling I had when I recorded that? I fell in love with my own song like it wasn't mine."
That single, titled "Pana," has gone on to entrap other listeners the same way it conquered its creator, accumulating 30 million streams between YouTube and Spotify. Veterans like Trey Songz and Ludacris have posted clips of themselves listening to the song on Instagram, and "Pana" also caught the attention of Imran Majid, senior vice president of A&R at Columbia, who signed the track and re-released it in December.
Tekno's connection with Columbia is the latest step forward in an inch-by-inch acknowledgement of the commercial viability of Nigerian pop in the U.S. Most of those steps have come via collaborations sprinkled over the last five years -- P-Square and Rick Ross, D'banj and Kanye West, Davido and Meek Mill, Wizkid and Major Lazer, Wizkid and R. Kelly. Nigerian-born Ayo Jay had a minor hit with "Your Number" last year, which got some attention when Fetty Wap appeared on one remix, and Chris Brown and Kid Ink on another. The best-known recent example of a Nigerian-Western team-up is Drake's "One Dance," which included Wizkid. Wizkid is now signed to RCA -- also the home of Davido and Ayo Jay -- with an album due out on the label this summer.

PRESIDENTIAL GOLF BREAKS: GOOD FOR AMERICA

On March 27, CNN reports, US president Donald Trump left the White House for a day at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, his 13th trip to one of the numerous golf courses he owns. The implication of the media’s mild obsession with his trips is that Trump is wasting time playing cow pasture pool when he should be attending to the duties of his office.
Former president Barack Obama came in for similar criticism from Republicans — including Donald Trump — over the 333 rounds of golf he played as president according to Golf News Net. That averages 41 outings per year, or one every nine days.
Personally, I don’t see the problem. I wish Obama had played more golf, and I’d be happy to see Trump spend seven days a week on the links.

Two of my kids are not mine... Femi Kuti

He revealed in a one on one with Encomium Magazine a few days ago that after he ran DNA tests, he was informed that Dupe and Tosin are not his.

Femi Kuti

He doesn’t understand why a woman would deceive him.
Femi has five kids,  Made, Afolabi, Dupe, Tosin and Ayomide. Dupe and Tosin (boy and girl) have been revealed to not be his biological seeds.
Femi revealed his disappointment that women he once cared about could deceive him.
He described how he came to the discovery.

He said: “I did a DNA test and was told two of the children are not mine. The first two (after Made), a boy and a girl.  It is very serious.  I never knew somebody could give you what is not yours.  I’ve three boys now. I can’t father children I was tricked to believe I am their father,” he lamented.
Dupe and Tosin have both been returned to their mothers.
Because of the betrayal, he returned the two children, Dupe and Tosin, to their mothers.

Femi’s first kid, Made’s mother is Funke, his ex-wife.
Bisi Ajala gave birth to Ayomide and one other child that the DNA test recently proved not to be Femi’s.  The third woman’s name was not revealed.

Wizkid is all about the money and ladies. 

Wizkid who is in the United Kingdom recording new songs including a track with Tinie Tempah, isn't all about work. In an obvious time out from his studio duties, Wizkid flaunts his latest pair of Guiseppe Zanotti shoes on his Instagram page.

In an artistic shot of aimed at showing off his new money status, Wizkid takes a shot of his new shoes which are made by the popular designer Guiseppe Zanotti. The shoes are leather camo loafers with gold toe caps. The shoes look cool, but that's not the money shot. The shoes are reportedly worth N100, 000.

In the picture is also an unidentified female showing off her ample posterior. It's good to see Wizkid showing us that he is creative in another field. Maybe when his music career is over, he can pick up the camera and become a pop photographer.

I'll Walk by Oluwaseyi Ige

 A smile here, a pat there

On and on I plodded

I know this walk will one day be applauded


Sneering, jeering and a smirk

Was all I could get from my admirers

'Keep the face straight' I told myself

Even they have got a heart heavier than mine

For help you could turn nowhere

As every man has got his own load to carry


A problem shared is half solved they say

Now it looks like a problem shared is worry doubled

Looking ahead is what I always do

Hoping this maxim will hold true:

The best days are yet to come


So in all these I've told myself

The road to go may be arduous and tortuous

If I have to, I'll drudge it

But there is no way I'm ever going to give up

Water- The Amazing Drink!

The human body is made up of over 70% water.Water is a fundamental part of our lives.Our energy level is greatly affected by the amount of water we drink. It has been medically proven that just a 5% drop in body fluids will cause a 25% to 30% loss of energy in the average person... a 15% drop in body fluids causing death! 

Dehydration doesn't just make you feel thirsty. Researchers from Tufts University say that even mild dehydration is associated with feelings of anger, depression, and confusion. Also, a study from King's College in London found that long periods of dehydration could impair brain functions, like planning and spatial relations.
Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

How much water do you need?

Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.

Water is your body's principal chemical component and a natural detoxifier but not many are aware about how much water should we ideally drink everyday. Moreover, the popular 8 by 8 rule which says that one should drink eight glasses, each consisting of eight ounce of water, may not suit every individual. Says nutritionist Venu Adhiya Hirani

BENEFITS OF WATER

Do you know that;

 Adults who drank two 8-ounce glasses of water before breakfast, lunch, and dinner ate 75 to 90 fewer calories during each meal. Over three months, study participants in the water-drinking group lost an average of five pounds more than dieters who didn't sip extra water.

The kidneys remove wastes such as uric aced, urea & lactic acid, all of which must be dissolved in water. When there isn't sufficient water, those wastes are not effectively removed, which may result in damage to the kidneys.

Water lubricates our joints. The cartilage tissues found at the ends of long bones & between the vertebrae of the spine hold a lot of water, which serves as a lubricant during the movement of the joint. When the cartilage is will hydrated, the two opposing surfaces glide freely, & friction damage is minimal. If the cartilage is dehydrated, the rate of "abrasive" damage is increased, resulting in joint deterioration & increased pain

It moisturizes your skin and keeps it fresh and glistening thereby enhancing its overall appeal. It also helps  in maintaining  the elasticity and suppleness of the skin and prevents dryness by detoxifying the skin.
