The maiden awards whose sole intent was to celebrate outstanding artistes in the Yoruba movie industry was put together by the Ogun State government and spearheaded by Tunde Oshinibosi also known as Laface. Like I mentioned earlier, it was a fierce battle as all the nominees are all exceptional in their rights but the awards if you agree with me went to the deserving nominees. Glo ambassadors, Odunlade Adekola&Funke Akindele won for their categories (best actor&actress) as well as Gabriel Afolayan who clinched the most promising actor award etc.Funke Akindele-Oloyede and Gabriel Afolayan were unavoidably absent at the event.

POEM: RIP DANA VICTIMS

Happily, they mounted

the beautiful iron bird

switching jeers,

awaiting their decent

into warm hands

of family and friends

smoke, fire, noise

was next

over seven scores bodies

burning before us

we couldnt save,

we shared gory tales

the young girl,

that old man

that was my neighbour

all sank

in one soiled night

our loved ones depart

drilling a wide abyss in the heart

Assured us a pleasant return

Now they've sent thousands mourn

Where are the effervescent guys we see?

The men who settle the fees?

They are harbouring the bossom of the dead

Where

Only the calm can tread

My country is dark

Our people pained

What have we done?

Where have we failed?

Who except God our voices raise

Deliver us from daily plagues

Yes, people die everyday

Not this we pray

Let the old die well

The young grow in age

We've stopped weeping

Through with sleepless nights and rolling

Over between us & overdose barbiturates

We've managed to extricate

It is well with my country!

May their souls find repose…

May the Lord comfort their families&give them fortitude to bear these irreplaceable losses! Amen!

‘LOVE ME JEJE’ CROONER, SEYI SODIMU RETURNS WITH GBEDU

After a long time break from the music industry, King of Afro-Soul music and Love Me Jeje crooner, Seyi Sodimu is back. The hefty musician's returns with a very captivating single and one of the hottest singles of the year, 'Gbedu'

The musician who garnered fame after seducing the audience with alluring hits like Love Me Jeje, Money Man, Sophisticated woman, featuring Jamaican Superstar, Wayne Wonder and Dying amongst others sometime ago is poised to take his music to an all-new height.

Seyi's latest song, Gbedu, produced under Sax records is an Afrocentric style of music blended with hiphop soul, it is also the leading single from his forthcoming album which should be released this year. The song does not only command a compulsive listen, it will also whet the appetite of music lovers particularly his stalwarts who had yearned for more of his easy-on-the-ear songs.

"This means a great deal to me. I will like to appreciate my fans for their support and encouragement over the years, i am back again and back for real." Seyi avowed.

MUSIC: C-WONDER, 'KOMOLE'

Nzeribe Chibuikem Kingsley fell in love with music at the age of 11, since then he has been honing his musical skills.

This young artiste who picked C-wonder as his stage name has worked with top acts like 2face, Sound Sultan, Catiar as well as other prominent music producers.

C-Wonder's music is reassuring and he draws a lot of inspiration from MI, Asa, 2face, the legendary fela, Nneka and the likes.
