OAP Shade Ladipo writes- ''The Epic Failure' that is Burna Boy

By Unknown - Thursday, April 09, 2015

All these celebs coming for each other. Y'all are free to use my platform anytime..hehe. Shade Ladipo is an On-Air-Personality and TV producer. Read what she wrote about Burna Boy below..

If you had asked me 6 weeks ago which Artiste I was going to write on, it would have been about how bad a performer Naeto C is and why he should give up being a performing artiste but somehow, I think Burna Boy has trumped all this with what I call an Epic Failure at being an artiste.

I watched Burna Boy perform for a smallish crowd at Industry night like 4 months ago and I thought to myself 'Dis guy dey feel 'im sef die'

He hoarded the microphone even though he was just a guest on the stage and at a point the owner of the night had to just ingest himself into the performance 'make e no be like say'.

I then decided that I wanted to see him perform live again because you see, I am a huge fan of Burna Boy and live music in general. Infact I did an instagram post on 5 things I like about Burna Boy like 8 months (FYI I do not know him personally on any level)

So when Gidi Cultural Fest advertised that Burna Boy was in their line up I was pretty excited.

I waited from 9PM till 4:30AM for the moment he would arrive on stage and 'Ol Boy did he arrive....Burna arrived in a construction type truck which was amazing and then......it all went down hill from there

First there was no introduction from him which was not bad or even noticeable considering a great number of people in the crowd were tired from the whole event proper, I then noticed that Burna did not really seem to care if the crowd were feeling him, of course he made sure we shouted to the parts of the songs that are most noticeable but asides that, Burna was having fun on the stage sometimes with his dancers without any kind of connection to the crowd.

The place could have been empty and Burna would have performed the same way he did. The set wasn't impressive as the mixes were skipped into each other without much thought, Burna was singing on his songs which already had vocals (and he was off key half of the time), at a point he couldn't even sing along to a particular song and he really just let the song do its thing and finally without saying a word and without the song ending, Burna just left the stage like someone had insulted his family lineage.

Like who comes on stage and leaves abruptly without notice, haba did we annoy you? Abi we didn't come on time?

You must understand that Burna Boy was one of the Major headlines for the event so a good number of people had waited it out to hear and see him perform and in my opinion that was the worst performance of ALL time.

My advice for the young cats who got on stage that night is simple

YOUR FANS MAKE YOU ('make' being used in continuos present because they can also break you, its an ongoing process)

No apologies but please try to make brilliant music and have no one listen to it, you will simply be a studio rat without a penny to your name.

P.S.

M.I. Abaga was on stage before Burna and I will cry and die for a true Artiste like Mr. Incredible because every step of the way he sees, acknowledges and feeds off the crowd (Same for Falz, Waje, Awilo Logomba, & Vector who also performed)

Burna please grow up, you are talented but you cannot eat talent, people must key into your talent and for it to be sustainable they must key into it for a very long time (unless you are interested in flash in the pan then you are on course)

Being an Artiste transcends just coming on stage and giving us back the same songs which we already have on CD, being a performing Artiste is about so much more.

P.S.S. Money slow to enter, Money quick to go (Ask Idris, Ask Styl Plus, Ask Olu Maintain)

The Rich Also Cry Ex-Kogi Gov, Abubakar Audu's N11bn contract scam trial gets April 15 date

By Unknown - Thursday, April 09, 2015

The former governor of Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu is in the eye of the storm over an N11 billion naira fraud he perpetrated while in office.

The trial of former Governor of Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu, who had been dragged to a Federal Capital Territory High Court by the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), over an N11 billion scam scam has been fixed for April 15, 2015.

The court presided over by Justice A.O Adeniyi, affirmed that the ex-governor and a former Director General of the Directorate of Rural Development in the state, Alfa Ibn Mustapha, should be presented in court on the said date for the trial to commence.

The duo are being are being prosecuted by the anti-graft agency for offences bordering on criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of public funds.

When the case came up for hearing on Thursday, April 2, 2015, Jabaru Olatunji, a prosecution witness told the court that several documents on the award of contracts to major contractors between 2000 and 2003 during Audu’s tenure as governor, were forged.

Olatunji, a staff of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, who is also the eighth prosecution witness, while being led in evidence by counsel to the EFCC, Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, told the court that he was part of a joint task force involving five security agencies that investigated the petition against Audu, alleging that he used his office to siphon the state government funds.

When asked about their findings during the said investigation, Olatunji told the court that at the office of the Accountant General of the State, they met one Dr. Shuaibu who made available documents detailing all the allocations to the State Government from May 2000 to April 2003.

According to him, the team was also furnished with detailed information into the fraud by one Dr. Ocheni of the Ministry of Works on the details of all the allocations, contracts awarded and payments made.

Analyses of these documents, according to the witness, revealed that three companies were major contractors. The companies are: Leoflench Nigeria Limited, Bulkom Nigeria Limited, Aresanmi

Technical Industrial Limited and Pet-Tim Nigeria Limited.

"My Lord, investigations revealed that Leoflinch Nigeria Limited’s documents were forged by the second accused."

Another key officer, Kayode Ayodele, a geologist, said that he knew nothing about most of the contracts and that most of the documents and vouchers shown to him were forged.

In the course of investigation, Olatunji stated that one Mr. Olajire, an Accountant with the state government was invited, and he confirmed that most of the documents were forged and that he was ordered to approve most of the contracts.
