List Of Top Nigerian Musicians That Will Release Album In 2014...

2014 promises to be an exciting year for the music industry.

It is 2014 already and the Nigerian entertainment industry, particularly the music sector, is gearing up for a busy year. With some artistes failing to release their anticipated album in the previous year -2013, we expect loads of albums in 2014. NIGERIA MUSIC PLANET takes a look at singers whose albums will most probably be released this year.

WizKid
Star Boy and EME artiste, Ayo ‘Wizkid’ Balogun, whose second studio album was postponed thrice in 2013, is expected to release the anticipated musical work this year. Expected to be loaded with international and local collaborations, and top notch productions from top producers, Wizkid’s yet-to-be titled second album might go the way of the first album; an all hit musical work.

Wande Coal
Remember he trended worldwide on social network, Twitter, when he released three singles back in 2011. Wande who ended the year 2013 with a Glo endorsement deal after a split with his former label boss, Don Jazzy, is expected to release his second long awaited album under his Black Diamond imprint.
D’Banj
Popular singer, D’banj, who earlier told PREMIUM TIMES that he would be celebrating his 10th year anniversary of active service with an album, is not expected to disappoint his fans. After an average outing with his label compilation album, DKM, we hope his 4th long awaited album will take him back to the top.

Davido
Davido, who provided us with the controversial dance, Skelewu, in 2013 is expected to ride on the buzz his last two singles gave him and release his second album. Davido’s second album, which might not be released until the last quarter of the year, is as anticipated as those that will be released before his.

Tuface
Regarded as the king of African pop, TuFace Idibia, who was in the news all through 2013 despite not releasing a single will hopefully give his fans something to listen to this year having last released his fourth album in 2011.

M.I
The vice president at Chocolate City released a mix tape, Illegal Music 2, in 201. His third studio album, which was expected last year, should be released this year. M.I is also expected to push His imprint, Luppy Records, further and might release a label compilation album as well.
Psquare
Twin sensational pop singers, Psquare, who had a busy 2013 as they toured America, Canada, Africa and engaged their long time partners are expected to hit their fans with their fifth studio album. With their impressive 2013 single, personally, the dancing duo should present their fans with a new album in 2014.

Sean Tizzle
After winning Headies ‘Next Rated’ awards, the Difference Entertainment artiste who broke into the mainstream music industry in 2013 with his hit single, Sho Le, and subsequent singles Mama e and Komole, will seek to test his feet more in the music waters with a full studio album which is expected to be backed with production from D’tunes.

Praiz
X3M music alternate artiste and MTN ambassador, Praiz, who had a decent 2013 with his multiple awards winning ‘Rich and Famous’ single is expected to release his debut album this year if tweets by his label boss, Steve Babaeko is any to go by.

Phyno
‘No album but am getting millie…’ That’s a line from Phyno’s ‘man of the year’ song, and 2013 was his year as he rightly said. With chart topping and award winning singles, Phyno’s debut album remains one of 2014′s most anticipated albums. And before you forget, he narrowly missed out of Headies ‘Next Rated’ award category.

‘God Told PASTOR CHRIS OKOTIE To Contest For President In 2015′ –
…Please Vote For Him…

For the Head Pastor, Household of God Church International Ministries there is no such thing as quitting. Despite losing the presidential election twice, the dream to become Nigeria’s president has not faded.

Rev. Okotie, nursing a strong presidential ambition , announced his intention to become Nigeria’s number one citizen in 2015.

In a exclusive interview with The Punch, Rev. Okotie said he will run in 2015, God willing.

“God spoke to me about my participation in the political process, which was why I took the step in the first place. He has not said anything contrary.’’, Rev. Okotie said.

When he was reminded that he had always lost every election he took part in by the reporters, Rev. Okotie explained that he had lost those elections as a result of election malpractices carried out,

He said, “I can sum it up in one word-rigging by the PDP. Even one of the party’s stalwarts, Chief Adeseye Ogunlewe, told The PUNCH recently that all elections have always been rigged. So that answers the question.

“These election questions are inter-related. If they didn’t rig, then I could have won. Apart from election malpractices, the duty of a servant of God is to obey his master when he gives him instructions, irrespective of whether he fails or succeeds. Like Moses in the Bible, who kept fighting until Pharaoh released the Israelites.’’

Meet 9-Year-Old Girl Who Succeeded in Her WAEC Exams

A 9-year-old prodigy girl, Anjola Victoria, has passed her WAEC exams the November/December 2013 West African Examination Council (WAEC).

Read the story of her success in the interview with the Sun Newspapers:

What was your experience during the period of GCE exams?
I studied a lot during the period of the exam. I even had to study books that were for SS3 students. I also studied the oldest past questions of the GCE examination that I could lay my hands on because the older the questions, the harder they are.

How did you register for GCE considering your tender age?
I burst into tears when the computer rejected me as being too young to register for GCE. I had to increase my age by five years before I could register for the exam.

What was the impression of other candidates at the exam centre?
No one believed that I was a candidate let alone give me the opportunity to write the exam; not even

the examiners allowed me into the exam hall until I passed the biometric test. Some candidates were mocking me, others called me names “over-ambitious girl, wait for your time”.

What was your Exam registration number?
My Exam number was 5250802098.

How old were you when you registered for the exam?
I was eight years old when I was preparing for the exam. I was eight when I wrote the French Oral exam then I clocked 9 before I wrote the English exam.

What was easy and what was very hard?
It was actually easy but the difficult part of the English exam was the summary aspect.

What were your grades in the exams?
I registered for seven papers but only wrote two, English and French because I readily had teachers in those two subjects, dad and mum. I made C5 in French Language and C6 in English Language.

Did your school participate in grooming you for the examination?
My school was not aware I was writing the exam. But what I learnt from school also played a part, so in a way, my school participated.

Even my parents got to know about my registration for the exam after my brothers helped me complete the process. My parents who are both Lawyers felt it was a daring joke considering my age but decided to groom me for the exam. They had degrees in English and French respectively before reading Law.

Why did you write only English and French?
I wrote only English and French because by the time I made up my mind to register for the exams, time was not on my side. I had teachers in those two subjects only: mum and dad.

Do you speak so much French? How did you make C5 in French?
I don’t speak much French but my dad does. He had first and second degrees in French before reading Law. I am the former Miss French of my school. Every year, my school organises a French day and “Miss French” and “Master French” pageant is the main event for the day. I am always involved in any French related activity in my school. I am the current Head Girl of the school.

Was French easier than English? Why did you perform better in French than English?
French was not easier than English, but interestingly, I had more confidence than ability in French and the reverse was the case in English. I love French. I am an active member of French Club in my school. Daddy always told me Paris is a beautiful city. I heard of the famous French proverb “See Paris and die” and I wish to see it one day.

Did you receive special lessons in preparation for the exam?
Yes I did, in a way my dad who is a bilingual lawyer and a former French teacher was my French teacher and my mum who is a Chief Magistrate was my English teacher.

How did you feel when you passed the examination?
I felt very happy when I passed the exam but I was a bit disappointed by the result because I expected B2 or B3 in English Language.

Do you have a social life?
Yes I have a social life. I love dancing. I win best dancer’s competition at most birthday parties and social functions.

How do you relax?
I play games on my dad’s iPad. I relax by watching television or swimming. I also enjoy reading storybooks and science encyclopaedia.

What do you want to become in future?
My dream is to be a medical doctor in the future, if possible be the youngest medical doctor in the history of Nigeria.

What message do you have for children of your age?
I advise children of my age to cultivate the reading culture and be ready to learn and show seriousness in their studies because having the right attitude is better than hard work and knowledge. When there is a will, there is a way.

In what could prove to be a major marketing and legal embarrassment for Unilever Nigeria Limited (UNL), a 26-year-old man has filed a case against the company, which owns the Close Up toothpaste brand, for ‘cheating’ and causing him ‘mental suffering’.
The plaintiff has cited his failure to attract any girl at all even though he’s been using Close-Up toothpaste for over seven years now. Close-Up advertisements suggest that the product helps men in instantly attracting women by letting their breaths out.

Grass Eating Church Members Are Now Falling Sick!

Members of the Rabboni Centre Ministries in Pretoria, South Africa, under instruction from their pastor, Lesego Daniel, dropped to the floor to eat grass after the ‘man of God’ told them it will ‘bring them closer to God.’ (If you missed the first post, see it here)

The church members defended their pastor who has been widely criticized for this practice and said eating grass has not only brought them closer to God but also heals them of illnesses.

‘Yes, we eat grass and we’re proud of it because it demonstrates that, with God’s power, we can do anything,’ Rosemary Phetha told South Africa’s Times Live.

The 21-year-old law student says she had been battling a sore throat for more than a year, but it was healed after she ate the grass. Doreen Kgatle, 27, of Ga-rankuwa, suffered a stroke two years ago.

‘I could not walk but soon after eating the grass, as the pastor had ordered, I started gaining strength and an hour later I could walk again,’ said Kgatle.

Latest reports say dozens of people are now getting sick after eating grass- an image of the bathrooms show women clutching their stomach, while the men are vomiting in the sink.
