JTE Gist: “Money Is More Important Than Talent In The Music Industry, It Will Take You Places ” – Niniola
By Unknown - Thursday, November 02, 2017
Afro-house singer Niniola, has giving a piece of advice to the up and coming artistes as she said the music industry is beyond the facade that talent alone can guarantee a successful career.
The ‘Sicker’ singer, who released her sophomore album earlier than expected, said this during a recent media tour in the UK. In a chat with Factory78, the singer said thriving in the music industry requires money more than talent and that upcoming acts need to invest in their career.
Niniola said;
In 2013 I went for a competition and I became the third runner-up and I got my prize money. With the prize money I invested in my career. I sought out one of the best producer Sarz and told him I wanted a hit song and that’s when I met my manager.
“When you’re not in the music industry on the outside, you think talent would take you places but it’s not. My manager told me ‘you need funds to promote and print CD jackets’.
“It’s a very capital intensive industry and so as an upcoming artiste you have to leave everything aside and invest in your career because at the end of the day it’s for you and you reap what you have sowed,” she said. “Growing up in Lagos was fun. I come from a large family, I had cousins and relatives living in the house. We were up to about 30 or 40 living in the house at the time and obviously we couldn’t make our foods ourselves so we had cooks.
It was like the Fuji house of commotion. “I listened to my parents records like Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Nigerian music. And that way I didn’t know I was training my voice by mimicking the voices that I heard. Niniola said she wasn’t one to write songs, much less her own.
She said;
If anyone had told me ten years ago that I would be writing my own songs I’d be like ‘it’s a lie’ because I always told myself ‘you can’t write anything’. A little confidence boost from prolific producer Cobahms Asuquo, after being berated by other producers, was all she needed to push herself to write her own songs.
On her musical aspirations, the singer said; “I would like to open for Beyonce”. When asked about what it is like being a female artiste, the singer said; I’m very proud of every female artiste in Nigeria because it is not an easy feat to be a female artiste but I’d like for us to continue with love. On what inspired her album, ‘This is Me‘, she said: It is Niniola basically saying this is me, this is who I am.
This is what I can do. I can jump on any track- dance tracks, I can sing ballads and do whatever I want with my voice.
BILLY GRAHAM SET TO MARK 99th BIRTHDAY; SON FRANKLIN GIVES UPDATE ON HEALTH
By Unknown - Wednesday, November 01, 2017
"Nov. 7 will be a big milestone for my father as he turns 99 and enters his 100th year. As a family, we are just so very grateful that he is still with us. His mind is good but he's quieter these days. He can't see or hear well, but his health is stable," Franklin Graham said Wednesday.
"On his birthday, some family will be with him and we'll give him his favorite cake — a lemon cake with lard icing. He loves those cakes — but it has to have the lard icing," he added.
"At the Billy Graham Library we'll have a special celebration that day, as this year is also the 10th anniversary of the opening of the library. We'll have birthday cake for everyone who comes by."
Franklin Graham explained that as his father enters his 100th year, the BGEA will be marking the major moments from his eight decades of ministry.
"The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is moving strong into the future, but it's also important to celebrate the past, so each month we will focus on a particular decade and highlight significant things like his 16-week evangelistic crusade in New York City, his impact on worldwide evangelism and personal testimonies of people whose lives were forever changed at one of my father's crusades," he said.
"During this next year we'll have special content on billygraham.org and in Decision magazine, so be sure to check those out. My father always wants the focus to be on the Lord Jesus Christ, and not on him; and so we will point to the amazing ways God has worked in lives around the world, through the ministry of Billy Graham."
The evangelist noted that his father is grateful for all the prayers and birthday wishes he has been receiving.
Franklin Graham, who is president of both the BGEA and Samaritan's Purse, has been sharing updates and reflections about his 98-year-old father on Facebook as well.
In a post in October, he revealed that his father has one Bible verse in particular that he still has displayed in large letters around his house.
"Still today, my father Billy Graham has a Bible verse pinned up on the wall in his bedroom, printed in VERY large letters. In fact, it's in the dining room, his bathroom, and several other spots around the house! Back before his 95th birthday, he was working on a sermon based on this key Scripture. It was his passion to memorize it, to saturate his heart and mind with it. He made it his life verse," Franklin Graham said at the time.

Nigerian mother of 4 bags 10 years in prison for drug trafficking
By Unknown - Wednesday, November 01, 2017
While urging the court to convict and sentence Owolabi, the prosecutor, Ibrahim Abu, reviewed the fact of the case, tendered the convict’s harmonised Ecowas passport, an e-ticket and boarding pass as evidence. Other evidence tendered before the court include three written statements of the convict, two request of scientific aid form, a drug analysing report, two evidence pouches, two transparent pouches containing the drug, two scientific report of the drug, and a sealed brown envelope, which were admitted as exhibits.
The convict’s lawyer, Morenike Ogunleye, pleaded: “The convict is a first time offender, and she is sober. She is a mother of four children, who is single-handedly taking care of them, as she has separated from her husband.” The judge asked the prosecutor, Ibrahim, for the punishment for the crime committed as stipulated by the NDLEA Act, and the prosecutor said it is life imprisonment.
Justice Aikawa ruled: “I have listened to the plea made on her behalf by the counsel, and also listened to the prosecutor that she has no record of crime. I have to consider both her plea and what the law says about the crime. “Consequently, I hereby sentence her to 10 years imprisonment, starting from the day of her arrest,” which was in May 19 at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, during outward clearance of Qatar Airways flight to Saudi Arabia, with 330 grammes of cocaine.

Wawuuuu as Singer Adele Turns Down £1m Gig To Weed Her Garden
By Unknown - Wednesday, November 01, 2017
Hello From The Garden Side Singer Adele is said to have been offered a whopping £1 million to sing in front of Arab billionaires but turned down the chance to concentrate on her gardening.
According to Australian singer Guy Sebastian, a judge on Oz’s version of the X Factor, the chart-smashing songstress turned down a two gig deal as she’s enjoying the simple things in life. He told the Daily Star: “I was with Adele’s agent and two gigs offered her a £1 million deal to perform. Her agent said: ‘Nah, she’s not doing it. She’s busy gardening this week. Adele is often weeding these days. She is said to have snubbed a £1 million offer to perform two gigs in the Middle East.
It comes after Adele took a hiatus following her mammoth 121 date worldwide tour over this year and last.
Following her final two dates at London’s Wembley Stadium in June she announced she was taking a break from music to concentrate on her personal life.
And while the princely offer made for the gigs in the Middle East would surely be tempting for others, Adele may not have even batted an eyelid, having earned an estimated £52.5 million last year from touring and album sales alone. The Hello singer’s huge success has seen her amass a staggering £132 million fortune, making her the richest UK celebrity under 30.

One Year Later, Iyanyas Move To Mavin Records Seems To Be Very Unnecessary [Read Below]
By Unknown - Tuesday, October 31, 2017
Exactly one year ago former TripleMG co-ownerIyanya drove the music and entertainment space into a wild shock as he announced he is a Mavin, an artiste under Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records. That notice was indeed shocking, like ‘once Iyanya co-owned a record label and now he is under the banner of the Supreme Mavin Dynasty (SMD)’. It felt like retrogression to a large extent as fans, industry critics and all the rest reacted to the move.
At the early stages of the shocking move to Mavin Records, it would have been premature to assert if that change of banner was actually the right thing to do and what Iyanya needed done at that point to salvage his already stagnating career. After about a year we can now give a better scorecard of Iyanya’s music career post TripleMG.
Timeline of Iyanya’s sojourn under Mavin Records
On October 31, 2016 the ‘Kukere’ crooner announced that he is a member of the Mavins’ crew. The deal was brokered by artistes management outfit The Temple Company who manage a long line of artistes like 9ice, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Adey etc. To signal the new movement, a new song ‘Up To Something’ which featured Don Jazzy and new label mate Dr Sid was released.
In March 2017, Iyanya subsequently announced and later released his ‘Signature’ EP in the same month. The extended play contained tracks like ‘Hold On’, Bow For You’, ‘Not Forgotten’ etc.
How well has Iyanya fared under Mavin Records after a year?
At this point, a very clear and unbiased verdict can be reached concerning the ‘Oreo’ crooner’s career and it is nothing to write home about.
As way of heralding his switch to SMD, ‘Up To Something’ was actually designed to intimate the entertainment industry Mr Mbuk was probably cooking up a hurricane that would sweep through the entire industry in the Mavin Records kitchen in on distant time. They had us longing with anticipation for something bigger than perhaps ‘Kukere’, we only had to wait a little before we got served some hot stuff. Till date nothing hot has come out from the muscled singer, literally speaking ‘mans not hot’, maybe that explains why he rarely takes off his jacket these days.
‘Signature’ EP came through as very underwhelming just like his last album ‘Applaudise’ at TripleMG, there was no stand out track from that body of work. This is not what we all wanted to see Iyanya in synergy with ace music producer Don Jazzy birth. Like why would he go through all that stress to dump TripleMG, hire a new management team and join the biggest record label in Nigeria only to serve us with a weak a** EP. Needless to say, Iyanya failed to stamp his signature or create another aura about him in the industry.
The MTN Project Fame Alumni has been mediocre even after jumping ship to the Supreme Mavin Dynasty. He hasn’t been exceptional, both the machinery at the record label and The Temple Company have failed to restore lustre to Iyanya’s very dim career.
It obvious the singer has returned to the tutored way of ‘singing’ but that is not what majority of fans want to probably hear. They want the Iyanya that made them dance to tracks like ‘Kukere’, ‘Your Waist’, ‘Sexy Mama’, ‘Le kwa Ukwu’ etc.
As a final verdict Iyanya’s move to Mavin Records was very unnecessary as nothing worthwhile has come out of that romance.
Mr Mbuk probably needs to get his groove back by trying to rekindle the magic and chemistry he had with his former producer D’tunes. He needs both D’tunes and DJ Coublon more than the entire Mavin Records and The Temple Company.
