Wizkid Says He can't be bothered if people think he is arrogant

Wizkid has been constantly on the media lately, but this time he's been facing heat from critics regarding his supposed arrogance. In a new interview with Encomium mag, Wizkid said he doesn't care if people think he is arrogant, that he doesn't love everybody and so doesn't expect everybody to love him.

Asked if it bothers him that people think he's arrogant, Wizkid said;

"Bother me? Never! I am not bothered. Honestly I don't hear people saying it because anytime I go out, I show my fans great love. I do my thing. I don't have problem with that because I don't love everybody as well. So I don't expect everybody to love me too. That's life" ..

Asked if he is terrible person, Wizkid said;

"Terrible? Everyone has opinion about people. But when they say Wizkid is terrible, you need to ask them, "Why is Wizkid a terrible person? What did he do? For four years, I was making music with Samklef, everyone knew his house. I was going up and down, shouting, Samklef Nor Ni. That's me, I am just trying to be a good person. Whereas everyone cannot like you and everyone cannot hate you" he said.

Asked if fame has in anyway changed him, Wizkid said

"No, fame has not changed Wizkid. The only thing fame has changed in Wizkid is that I added some accessories. I have got nice chains, watches, and nice clothes. Asides that, I am still Wizkid. I no tall, still same height"

He also reacted to his recent controversy with singer Saeon,

"Oh really? She's bitter about it. I didn't see the allegation but I gave her hit song. I no try? I did my part. I was in the studio with her, gave her hit song. I no try. That's not even how much I charge for collaboration, I charge N10 million. I collected N1.5 million from her because of love. I was busy, I didn't want to do it" he said. 

Asked about the comment that he doesn't charge those he loves, Wizkid said;

"Yeah I don't charge people I love. I said so but when someone is on your neck everyday for a collaboration and she offers you money, won't you collect it? If you fail to collect it, they start calling you terrible person. I am just trying to be a good guy"

On his fashion sense, Wizkid said;

"Fresh! Am I not looking fresh? I have always loved chains a lot. For me, I also see chains as investment because they ar gold and diamond. You can always sell anything gold and diamond. It is like an investment for me".

On why he loves to flaunt his accessories on social media, Wizkid said;

"You know now. I didn't have accessories when I started my career. Did you see me wearing bling-bling when I did Hola at your boi? No! I hustled to get money to buy them and there is no crime if I show it or flaunt it to my fans because they gave me money to buy them" he said

On where he invests his money, Wizkid said;

"I will say property but most importantly Jewelry. Do you know how much I can sell this chain on my neck when I get broke, God forbid? It's money and to me it's investment. I don't spend money on foolish things. I spend moderately. Besides I am a grown man. I have problems too. I have a child I am taking care of. I have responsibilities, believe it or not" he said

Asked if he is expecting another child, Wizkid said;

"Expecting wetin? Did I tell you I am expecting a child? Yes I didn't tell you guys when I was expecting my first child because people wanted to kill me but Honestly, nothing like that I am not expecting any child now"

Asked if he is getting married anytime soon, Wizkid hissed and said "Wedding? No!"

Caption this Photo of Kim Kardashian and Kanye .....

dude can't help but stare at those kegs at ll time. Looks dazed, spell bound etc

Kanye is obviously inlove/obsessed with Kim and her sexiness. He looks at her likes he's about to eat her up, has that his "rare smile" on his face. Well, which guy wouldn't ?! As Kim turned 34, she opened up to the Daily Telegraph on how Kanye makes her feel everyday.She doesn't need to say it, we all see it..She said

 ‘I am with someone who makes me feel sexy and confident every day, and we have our daughter, who is so sweet and precious.North has really taught me to appreciate and recognise the important things in life like spending time with family, making memories while I watch her grow,”
“Being a mother is such a gift and North has filled my heart with joy. Family is more important than anything. Learn to enjoy every second with those you love.I think that it’s really important to live life to the fullest and enjoy every second of it,Ever since I had North, I realise how precious every moment is and I want to make lasting memories with my family.Being a slave to celebrity just isn’t an option. Our priority is always North’s safety and happiness. And we do all we can to make sure she has the best childhood possible.”
“Privacy is key. I live my life in front of the world and it has offered amazing opportunities to my family and me.But along with all the media attention, often comes stress and hardships on the people that I love. Through the ups and downs, I have learned some things are better kept private; that way it stays special and intimate.”

To the celebrities who bleach, Etcetera has a word for you .. lol

If you are celeb , and you bleach your skin, yup you, this is for you , with love from Etcetera lol .But before the article, my issue is, some don't use it properly, leaving them with dark patches and their skin looking like that of a leopard of some sort lol , and then there's the long term after effect, skin cancer etc. well, that's none of my biz sha . Back to Mr Etcetera , find his article below and share your own opinion...

The Association of Bleaching Celebrities of Nigeria wishes to use this medium to inform the public that the inexcusable attitude of some of its members to their fans has been brought to its attention. 

It has also been said that some members of this esteemed organisation have embarrassingly refused to shake hands with their fans and in some of these cases, the aggrieved fans are said to have been little kids. On behalf of all celebrity bleachers, we the ABNC kindly ask for your forgiveness. 

You loved us when we were black and we sincerely ask you not to love us any less even now that we are light skinned. We also want you guys to understand that we celebrities bleach our skin so that we can lighten up your screens so you will never have to increase the brightness and contrast of your TV anymore. You can ask our Nigerian movie producers why they prefer us light skinned actors. That being said, we also want to sound a note of warning to all celebrity bleachers. According to section 19 of our annually reviewed constitution, no bleacher operating within our ranks has any right whatsoever to disrespect his or her fans. Such unruly attitude should stop henceforth. Anyone culpable of this dastardly act will be severely dealt with according to what is stated in our constitution. We want to also use this medium to pass this vital information to the rest of the public and it will be in the interest of everyone to read the following very carefully.

The ABNC is the umbrella body of all celebrity bleachers and we are responsible for every bleaching celebrity you see on TV and on the streets. We will also like you to understand that no celebrity bleacher will intentionally snub or refuse to shake hands with his or her fans. A lot of these incidents have occurred as a result of stigmatisation of bleachers by the public. Nigerian celebrity bleachers especially have been unfairly criticised by the public for having black knuckles, white body and black yansh. Therefore, the unwillingness of celebrity bleachers to shake hands in public should be regarded as a silent protest over the bizarre treatment accorded bleachers in this country. They are humans and they deserve the rights to decide their skin or vein colours. Be it black, blue, red or rainbow, it is their choice and the public must accept and respect it. After all, if you are a very observant fan, you would have noticed that all light-skinned male celebrities always wear suits or long sleeve shirts and walk with their hands in their pockets. Walking with your hands in your pockets is prescribed by this distinguished organisation to all bleachers. In cases of bleaching gone wry, please note that celebrity bleachers don’t do all these because they want to be seen as fashionably sensitive or too cool to care. They do it to avoid that embarrassing moment when you discover that your pretty face celebrity has the hands of a local tye and dye merchant.

We hope that henceforth, whenever you see a light skinned celebrity with pocketed hands, you will save yourself the embarrassment and kindly let him be. A celebrity bleacher with bad bleaching experience is like a dog with rabies and no sane person messes with a rabies-infected dog. We implore you non-bleachers to be more sensitive to the plights of bleachers. To you male fans who love greeting women with a kiss on their cheeks, please be advised to keep your damn kisses to yourself whenever you see those light-skinned celebs who love tying scarves around their necks. It is not fair to expose someone’s multi-coloured neckline to the whole world because you want to prove that you can greet like an arab. And if you are a church usher who is fond of telling people to raise their hands up during worship, better stay the hell away from any light-skinned celebrity you see in church. Allow them to worship with their hands glued to their sides. We swear, you don’t want to see that armpit. Our sincere appreciation also goes to all men out there dating a celebrity bleacher, we commend your patience. You have stood by them knowing you can’t take them to the pool because of their black yansh. And when they forced you to take them against your will to the pool, you still had to endure the fact that they got into the swimming pool fully dressed in their leggings, T-shirts and stockings. May you be rewarded handsomely for your stoicism and perseverance. One quick advice though, inasmuch as you may love your bleached spouse and want to treat her to different types of adventure, it is paramount that you resist every pressure to take her to the beach.

Please listen to us very carefully; you have to protect her from bleachers allergies. They react to sea water like an ogbanje reacts to deliverance. And if you don’t want to be staring at your bleached spouse rolling and crying in agony on the beach sand, don’t let the sea water come in contact with her skin.

Nigerians, please stop judging us by the colour of our skin. We will never be ashamed to admit to the public that all light-skinned celebrities are bleachers because this same bleaching has made us the most preferred in Nollywood today. It has made our ladies more desirable and more noticeable by Nigerian men. It has also helped some of our colleagues who were straight up ugly become attractive. That is why our motto is, Show me a light-skinned celebrity who doesn’t bleach and I will show you a local dog that doesn’t eat shit.

President Jonathan Set to Declare for Re-election November 11

President Goodluck Jonathan will formally declare his intention to seek re-election in 2015 on November 11.

Chairman of the Presidential Declaration Committee, Dr. Haliru Bello, disclosed this on Friday when he spoke to State House correspondents at the end of the committee's inaugural meeting held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

However, the venue for the declaration has not been fixed.

Bello said: “The President gave us the task to organise the modality for creating a platform for him to meet Nigerians and announce his response to the various calls for him to come out and declare his interest in the presidential election.

“The President has not said anything yet but it is like all Nigerians have called on him to contest. It is our honest hope that he will come out and say yes to the demand of multitude of Nigerians. We expect he will say yes but we cannot say yes for him. We will wait for him to speak.

“The date that is fixed is Tuesday, November 11. On that day, there will be a forum for the President to meet Nigerians to announce his decision. The venue is yet to be decided. That will be decided at our next meeting.

“When we come out on November 11, the President will face the people of Nigeria and say yes to their demand.

“If he says yes, it will be yes. If he says no, then it is negative. But you are aware that our party, the PDP in all its organs, from the caucus to the Board of Trustees, NWC had decided that President Jonathan should be given the first option of refusal with the PDP ticket.”

He added that if Jonathan declares to run, the PDP would give him preference.
As the president, Bello noted that Jonathan had performed well and that the party was satisfied with what he had done.

“It is only when he declines that we can look at any other contestant,” he stressed.
Most of the committee members attended the meeting yesterday. They include Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State, Ibrahim Shema of Katsina, Saidu Ibrahim Dakwambo of Gombe, Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo, and Liyel Imoke of Cross River.

Fund Raising Dinner Committee Inaugurated…
Prior to the meeting of the Presidential Declaration Committee, Jonathan had on Thursday inaugurated a PDP Fund Raising Dinner Committee headed by Professor Jerry Gana with Alhaji Abdulsalmad Rabiu as Vice Chairman.

Three governors - Godswill Akpabio, Sule Lamido and Gabriel Suswam – are also members of the committee.

Chibok Girls May Soon Regain Freedom - Boko Haram Spokeperson

The purported Secretary General of terrorist Boko Haram sect, Danladi Ahmadu, who represented the group and negotiated the recent ceasefire agreement with the Nigerian government, has affirmed that the abducted Chibok schoolgirls would be released soon to Chadian President, Idriss Derby, for onward presentation to the Nigerian government.

Ahmadu, who spoke on the Hausa Service of the Voice of America on Friday, also stated that the ceasefire agreement with the federal government was still valid.

In a swift reaction to the promise of freedom for the Chibok schoolgirls, the Principal Private Secretary to the President, Ambassador Hassan Tukur, who has been leading the federal government team for negotiation, simply said: "We will keep our fingers crossed".

About 219 schoolgirls are still missing after the terrorists invaded Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State in April and abducted over 270 girls.

Many had been worried when some members of the sect attacked villages in Borno and Adamawa states, less than 24 hours after the said ceasefire was announced.

But Ahmadu disclosed that the final meeting between the group and the federal government to finally seal the ceasefire agreement had been scheduled for next Monday in Ndjamena, Chad, and to be supervised by the Chadian leader.

He added that an enlarged meeting of the group had been fixed for the weekend to prepare ground for the Monday meeting with the federal government and affirmed that the final ceasefire and the release of the Chibok schoolgirls were promises that would be fulfilled by the group.
Ahmadu also disclosed to VOA that the group and the federal government were in close consultations over arrangements for the Monday meeting in Chad.

Commenting on the latest kidnap of over 40 women and girls in the border villages between Adamawa and Borno states, the Secretary General maintained that as far as Boko Haram was concerned, it is not aware of the latest kidnap and attacks.

He added that the group was investigating the latest kidnap and attacks to determine the involvement of its members, admitting that many anti-social groups have infiltrated Boko Haram.

Danladi Ahmadu stated that political thugs, armed robbers, kidnappers, hired assassins and other anti-social groups now parade themselves as members of the sect, but was quick to add that if the ceasefire agreement is sealed, all the groups would fizzle out.

No fewer than 50 women and girls were abducted by suspected Boko Haram members from Gartu in Michika, Adamawa State and Waga Mongoro, a border village between Madagali in Adamawa State and Gwoza in Borno State after a ceasefire agreement with the insurgents was announced by Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh.

The terrorist sect allegedly signed the ceasefire agreement with the federal government in Saudi Arabia on October 17.

The ceasefire agreement was announced by Badeh at the end of a two-day Coordinating Conference on Cameroon-Nigeria Trans-Border Military Operations at the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), Headquarters in Abuja.

A presidency source said consistent losses suffered by the terrorist group and the renewed determination of the military to wipe them out forced the sect to sign the ceasefire deal.
The Boko Haram terrorists have been causing havoc in the North-east through a wave of bombings, assassinations and abductions while fighting to “overthrow the government and create an Islamic state.”

Badeh said that the ceasefire agreement with the terrorists would not affect the accord reached with Cameroon for joint security border operations.

He further directed all the service chiefs to comply with the new ceasefire agreement.

Young Money in house Rift?! Tyga Calls Drake fake . Ouch!

One could never believe there would me misunderstanding in the YMCMB , I always thought they were en-sync. Well, you never know.  In a new interview with Vibe Magazine, rapper Tyga slammed his label Young Money and label mate, Drake. Saying , he doesn't like Drake as a person but likes his music .. Read it below ..

"I’m tryna’ go independent. I don’t really get along with Drake. I don’t really get along with Nicki. I don't like Drake as a person. He’s just fake to me. I like his music; you know what I’m saying? I think his music is good, but we’re all different people. We were forced together and it was kinda like we were forcing relationships together. It is what it is."

But I been friends with Chris [Brown] for like six years. That’s my real genuine friend. We hang out all the time. He lives up the street from me, so we don’t just do music we hang. I think being signed to Young Money, everybody felt like they had to force a relationship ‘cause Wayne put us together. At the end of the day the reason why I signed to Young Money is because of Wayne. Not because of Drake, not because of Nicki. It was because of Wayne and my relationship with him. I try to be cool with everybody, but sometimes, everybody just has different personalities, motives, and different characters. When you realize that, you realize that’s not a place where you want to continue to grow"

Drake's Moves :

Shortly after the interview got online, Drake went on instagram and liked several pictures of Tyga's baby mama, Blac Chyna ( See pics below ). I wonder what that was about maybe sarcasm or not, waiting for Nicki's response . interesting ...
