FIVE YEAR OLD KID FLEXES MUSIC MUSCLES

The "great things come in small packages" maxim can best describe the personality of dimunitive rising superstar, OzzyBosco. Born in Lagos on 7th January 2007 to the popular Delta State business woman 'Chief Nonye Mojekwu,' the most fascinating thing about young and auspicious Oziomachukwu Mojekwu is that just like the late legendary king of pop, 'Micheal Jackson', Bow Wow, Justin Bieber and the likes, he has able to find his calling in music at such an unthinkable age.

He started by miming and boogeing excellently to songs of Nigerian artistes. Fully convinced he could start impressing music addicts and pundits and with the full weight of family&friends, he jumpstarted his music career in 2011.

One of his highlights was the 7th edition of the Kids Got Talent Competition held in 2011, his delivery wasn't only awesome but he also went home with the coveted prize.

Ever since then, the five year old has not only been invited for shows but also holding the audience spellbound with captivating and unbelievable performances, with this, one can safely say the hugely promising chap is not only going to heat up and be a dominant figure in the industry but take his music beyond the shores of the country.

Often referred to as the next big thing he has performed in shows like the 2011 Diamond Bank End of the year party, Little Saints Orphanage's JoyNight event, the St. Monica's Orphanage to mention a few.

OzzyBosCo's humanitarian strength is also amazing, through donations in cash and kind, he has left smiles on the faces of the less privileged children.

His latest single, Superstar featuring Lamboginny of the Sax Records and produced by No.1 Sax Boss, YemiSax is due for release in the second quarter of 2012.

The sky is therefore the stepping stone for the handsome and talented child who is determined to make an extensive impact.

2FACE&ANNIE MACAULAY WED SECRETLY

I'll tag this as the most 'camouflaged' decision of the year 2012'. Never believed this post would be bereft of the usual wedding pictures.

After fervent speculations, we can now authoritatively tell you that 2face Idibia and fiancée Annie Macaulay and mother of one of his six children have secretly tied the knot.

It was the most anticipated wedding of year 2012 but the pair made it a strictly-family affair as only their family members and one or two friends were in attendance.

An introduction was done a day after 2face released his concert and fifth album launch and the hush-hush wedding was done the following day at a private registry in Lagos. (You go fear planning)

2face confirming the news yesterday tweeted,

"@real2faceidibia: Hello beautiful pple of the republic! It is true! It is official! Annie and I r legally married! Thanx 4 your support and best wishes".

And this was what the 'twitterly' excited new bride, 'Annie' posted.

"@AnnieMacaulay1: I Love My Life…..It So Golden ***wide smile**

Though some sources claim the couple would still have an elaborate ceremony later but seriously I don't know why I doubt that, at least I'm supposed to have 'faith'.

Anybody who knows the 2 of them should tell them that I've not forgiven them o for not giving me pictures to use here.
