Backing in the glee of the 2017 year, our JTE video team stormed the suburban community of Yaba, Lagos where Akokaites were tasked on sharing their choice artiste(s) to look out for.
Responses ranged from the utterly ecstatic to the fun, witty and even demure. However, one thing remained certain, and that is the fact that these superstars are most definitely loved by the fans and are equally looked up to with such high expectations especially in 2017 – like eyes on the sparrow!
Find out who these choice artistes are, and feel free to make your own additions as well.
(Video) Addiction – Spanko
The Addiction twins return with a new Emmy Ace produced song titled “Spanko“. The duo recently launched their record label Ighotainment and followed it up with a new signing “Kido Blanko“.
Watch above.
Demmie Vee AKA “The Kalakuta Pikin” who has long admired and strongly supported 2baba, was inspired by the supposed campaign protest against the ongoing recession by writing, recording and releasing “ Sorry Sorry ”; a track expressing the average Nigerian’s pain brought about by the struggle and hardship he faces daily.
The song is percussion heavy with a deeper, intermittent single drum that speaks of impending doom, if the current economic situation is not prioritized and handled immediately.
“Sorry Sorry ” reminds listeners of Femi Kuti’s single of the same name and even samples the beginning of the chorus, but in a heavy, melancholic, slow tempo and “town crier” way. “ Sorry Sorry ” will be released as a free single; with the hopes that EVERY ONE will be able to download and appreciate the need for immediate action.
However, Nigerians have always been known to make the best of any situation and push on, striving to make it past every difficulty. In this light, the former hustler turned hit maker has also released “Love me tender” just in time for Valentine’s day later this month.
The mid tempo love song, is a fusion of Dance hall, Afro pop, Fuji and pays homage to the 90’s music scene in Lagos. Demmi Vee expresses his infatuation about a natural beauty he would love to make his wife; asking if she would love him tender.
“Love me tender ” is sung almost completely in Yoruba and is released under HND Records. Song was produced by DJ Coublon and directed by Mazi CI. J!zzle.
Iyanya maybe the latest addition to the Roc Nation artistes register.
This may seem like a preview or a clue that the “Up 2 Something” crooner, perhaps is likely to ink a deal with the music imprint. Everything has changed for Iyanya since he quit being managed by Ubi Franklin and went unto The Temple Company.
Since then he has moved on to become a Mavin. It gets more interesting that the muscled singer, may well be on the way to join Tiwa Savage as an artiste at Roc Nation .
Iyanya shared photos of himself and his management team The Temple Company at
Roc Nation office in New York.

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode on Monday insisted plans are afoot to remove yellow buses popularly known as
Danfo from Lagos roads for a more efficient, well-structured and world class mass transportation system that would facilitate ease of movement within the city.
The Governor also said that his administration would soon roll out a comprehensive environmental sanitation policy that would make the city to be clean without much burden on the people in terms of taxes.
Speaking at the 14th Annual Lecture of the Centre for Values in Leadership (CVL) held at Muson Centre in Onikan with the theme: “Living Well Together, Tomorrow: The Challenge Of Africa’s Future Cities,” Governor Ambode admitted that the present connectivity mode in Lagos was not acceptable and befitting for a mega city and as such, a well-structured transportation mode would soon be put in place to address the challenge.
“When I wake up in the morning and see all these yellow buses and see Okada and all kinds of tricycles and then we claim we are a mega city, that is not true and we must first acknowledge that that is a faulty connectivity that we are running.
Having accepted that, we have to look for the solution and that is why we want to banish yellow buses this year. We must address the issue of connectivity that makes people to move around with ease and that is where we are going.
For instance, people going from Ikorodu to CMS have started leaving their cars at home because the buses are very convenient and so why can’t we do that for other places? Yes, we don’t have the money to do that but we can go to the capital market and then improve on the technology of collection of fares and that will encourage investors and then the city will change,” Governor Ambode said.
He said the government was also embarking on massive reform in waste management system, expressing optimism that the plan will fully be actualized by July this year.
He said:
“We are also embarking on massive reform in the waste and sanitation management system. I don’t like the way the city is and the Private Sector Participants ( PSP) collectors are not having enough capacity to do it but again should I tax people to death, the answer is no. I don’t want to tax people and so we need this partnership with the private sector so that they can invest in the sanitation management of the city and in no time maybe by July, the city will change forever.”
The Governor, who recalled the massive infrastructures being put in place in critical sectors of the Lagos economy such as transport sector, road construction and rehabilitation, construction of lay-bys, and flyovers among others, said the main objective of his administration remained the growth of the Lagos economy from 5th to 3rd largest economy in Africa.
On power, Governor Ambode said the major issue had always been with transmission and advocated an embedded power initiative that would allow clusters of Independent Power Projects (IPP) to run the cities.
He said he had remained focused on some issues such as infrastructure, security, job creation, power, adoption of technology as an enabler and driving investment through ease of doing business.
Pat Utomi, Governor Ambode
In his opening remarks, CVL founder and renowned development expert, Professor
Pat Utomi said the idea behind the formation of the group was to get young people to begin to appreciate early what leadership was all about being service to the people.
Speaking on the theme of the symposium, Utomi said Lagos remained the best governed State in Nigeria in the last 18 years and a good example of what the country should be beyond and without oil.
He commended Governor Ambode on his leadership style and particularly congratulated Lagos for being named by the Rockefeller Foundation as one of the 100 most resilient cities in the world.
Chairman of the occasion and former Governor of Cross River State, Liyel Imoke said the theme of the symposium was apt considering that Nigeria’s population by 2050 would have tripled and as such it was important for the country to start planning for livable cities.
He commended Governor Ambode over his achievements in office so far, saying that it was obvious that the Governor has been performing very well and he is a good example of continuity in governance.
On his part, Director of Centre for African Economies, Oxford University, Professor Paul Collier said from his over thirty years experience of coming to Nigeria, Governor Ambode has proven himself to be the third excellent Governor in a row in Lagos.
Collier, who was the keynote speaker, said judging by the population projection of Nigeria by 2050, now is the time for the country to start building its cities to conform with modern trend.
He said Nigeria’s oil had been a course which messed up the economy, and so there was a need to start proper planning for development.
As a way out, Collier suggested an alliance between the business community and political actors, saying that to build a city that works, attention must be focused on energy and connectivity.
