LOVE STRUCK NIGERIAN MUSICIAN,H-MAN DEDICATES SONG TO GIRLFRIEND,UCHE ODOH (AMBO 3 CONTESTANT)

"LOVE CONQUERETH ALL THINGS"...Yes, H-Man is in love and he is ready to scream it on CNN.Now, the Nigerian musician has released his first album and one of the hit songs is dedicated to the Uche Odoh, the lady who make him feel as important as Nelson Mandela.Uche was one of the contestants durning the third edition of Amstel Malta Box Office (AMBO) reality show sponsored by Nigerian Breweries Plc.

At a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday,H-Man was full of praises to everyone who assisted him to get to this point in his career.

He is no longer the naïve kid he was when he hit our screens with Ndoli Ndoli- the hit song that earned him an access key into the Nigerian music scene, and many factors point towards that.

After four videos from a yet -to-be-released album, an award and general acceptance from the industry, it is certain that the 24 year old graduate of Igbinedion University is ready to debut. ‘I am ready to hit the Nigerian music scene with my album Ndoli Ndoli which means struggle, but the message I was trying to pass is that this world is not perfect, just enjoy the little you have’ he says

Born Humphrey Okeke into a Catholic family of eight children, H man started on the journey into being a singer as a member of the school choir while in St. Bridget College and from then the passion has been a part of him even till now. ‘ I love music, music is my passion, and that is why I am not in it to make money, if you have a passion for some thing, you do it, not caring if it would bring in money or not’ he says.

The debut 12 tracker - Ndoli Ndoli is due for release on the 15th of April 2009. Expected to be distributed by UBA pacific music and Obaino music, the album will feature songs like Ndoli, Ndoli, Scared of Love, H man Party and Thank you feat MI- A song he dedicated to his girlfriend - Ambo 3 contestant- Uche Odoh.

Others include Uwadiwe- a song where he expresses his discontent about what is happening in the country, Mmemme, Money and Mama Africa feat 9ice.

‘Aside music, Uche is the best thing that has happened to me in recent times, and all these I am doing is very little compared to the value she has added to me as a person, I even feel I have not done enough for her’ he says.

The last in the chains of videos to be dropped before the release of his album, ‘Thank you’ was directed by DJ Tee in Abuja, Nigeria while ‘Uwadiwe’ was shot by Clarence Peter.

9ICE OPENS NEW HOUSE

By Niyi Tabiti

9ice is doing nice things to himself and he is got a Toni Payne that is not a pain by his side.The latest gist about Abolore Akande,the popular Nigerian musician known as 9ice is that he has moved into his new house in Abule-Egba area of Lagos State.The house warming ceremony,which took place on Sunday 12 April 2009 saw a lot of people coming to felicitate with the couple.
9ice deserve all the accolades as there are many artistes who has made more money but has no thought of doing something like this.
The cream-coloured duplex, already named Alapomeji Villa, was erected over a period of six months, and the singer personally supervised the project.

Interestingly, the house also has a full audio studio where 9ice is expected to finish work on his third album. The fully-equipped studio is already ready-to-use, with a 32 Channel console, Adam speakers, Newman anniversary edition microphones, Roland Fantom keyboard and a full option Mac PC. ‘‘It has been my dream to have my own studio in the comfort of my house. And now, I’m happy that God has made it possible. I can wake up in the middle of the night and come down here to voice any idea that comes to my head. The studio means a lot to me, that’s why I’ve stopped at nothing to make sure it’s the best’’, 9ice says.

Surrounded by lush green grass, and tucked behind thick walls, 9ice’s property is situated in a private estate around Lagos Abeokuta Expressway, in Lagos.

‘‘I like this area because it is very quiet and peaceful, and I have some of my family living around here. There’s nothing more beautiful than being surrounded by those you love. This is my home for now, and I thank God for making this dream come true’’

Apart from the duplex, he also recently acquired several plots of land within the same area, where he plans to set up the Alapomeji records offices and an audio visual studio.

After the prayer session to dedicate the house on Easter Sunday, 9ice presented his father with a surprise gift: gold-coloured Honda Accord iVTec.

NIGERIAN IMMIGRATION SERVICE DEPORTS TOP RADIO PRESENTER,DAN FOSTER

Dan Foster, a popular Radio presenter and one of the top guys behind Inspiration FM,has been deported from Nigeria. The news broke last weekend and it was confirmed on Monday and it was also reported in today's edition of Encomium magazine.
www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com gathered that the American who was recruited from the United States of America by the management of Cool FM got more than he bargained in the hands of the men of the immigration who refused all to allow him stay a day further in Nigeria last Friday. The deportation of Dan Foster was allegedly facilitated by his Cool FM, his former employer.Cool Fm did not find the way Dan left the company to join Inspiration Fm owned by Erastus Akingbola the Vice Chairman of Intercontinental Bank Plc.The company vowed that they would have him deported from Nigeria because in the first place he got his work permit through them and his stay permit has expired.
Dan's excuse that he is got married to a Nigeria and that they even have an issue together did not hold water as Immigration officials insist that he should go back to America and them re-apply to come back to Nigeria in the proper way.

LAGBAJA TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM BY MONTH-END!



We’ve been waiting for long. We’ve been wondering un-end. We’ve worried till we’re weary – when will we lay our hands on another Lagbaja album? When will the masked musician and his band bless fans with another body of work? This year? Next year? Or the year after the next?

Well, we can all now heave a sigh of relief, because Lagbaja has confirmed that a new album – the first since his 2005 release Africano – is ready, and about to hit the streets.

According to a statement released by his publicist Ayeni Adekunle on Monday April 6, the new album, which comes in two CDs, will be officially released in Nigeria before the end of April.

‘‘I’m glad to tell you, brothers and sisters, that our new album is ready’’, Lagbaja said in Lagos this week. ‘‘The world is going through different challenges right now, but the journey continues. We’ll continue to make good music and preach the gospel of Africa to the rest of the world’’.

Lagbaja’s eponymous debut album was released to national acclaim in 1993. He followed with Cest Un African Thing in 1996, and in 2000 he did what was hitherto thought impossible when he dropped a three-in-one album titled ME, WE and ABAMI respectively. The simultaneous three-part release further enriched his repertoire of hits and timeless pieces, endeared him to even more critics, and won him a million-and-one converts. His most recent album – Africano… the mother of groove- was released to critical acclaim in 2005.

Once again, Lagbaja is releasing more than once album simultaneously. ‘‘We have two CDs coming out this time. Our fans deserve it, especially having waited for this long’’, He said. A third, the long-anticipated Africano Party (now remixed) will follow later in the year.
