I will rather invest N10m on Lil kesh's career than Reekado – DJ Timmy

Here’s an open letter to the organisers of the Headies awards in the wake of the messy fight between Olamide and Donjazzy. Written by DJ Timmy.  Please find the details below.
When i wrote my first open letter to Headies on December 29, 2013, the majority opinions I got was that I was correct while others felt I was just an “Attention seeker”. Headies as an award should be credibile and not just over hyped. We have hundreds of award shows every year in Nigeria and they are not as controversial as this one. Headies as an award are still not appreciating certain artiste, producers, entertainers and Dj’s who work 24/7 to make sure they bring out the best. They give us the impression that once you are not nominated or you do not win, you have not started your career;This is a BIG LIE. Over the years, All Ayo Animashaun and HipTv family have proven that it is Money over Integrity and that is why he always ignores the choices of majority of Nigerians or could it be that they innocently dont even know what they are doing?

//
I am not here to analyse the faults of headies in full but you can read the other complains on twitter with thehashtag #TheHeadies2015.
Firstly, I noticed your hall was half empty. Your live broadcast that you always brag about had the picture quality of NTA channel 10 and your technical crew were going offline every time things became awkward and they immediately have to switch to “lyrics on the go” to cover up your shame. I watched BET African awards live and Mtv and i can see a very huge difference in all aspects. You still have a lot to learn. Another disturbing fact is that headies as an award is creating bad blood among colleagues in the Nigerian music scene. Headies is the reason why we have not seen collaborations among certain musicians. Tell me why Phyno,Davido, Falz, Solidstar and many other music producers and artiste who have been topping charts this year where not recognized?
Next Rated

Now Of all the categories, this is the only one worth arguing over.Even though this is not a voting category, I stand by million of Nigerians to say that Lil Kesh or Kiss daniel deserve the award. What are the reasons? Lil Kesh has more hit tracks, Swag, Stage performance, Composure and in the long run Lil Kesh may last longer for years to come. Infact, I will rather invest N10m on Lil kesh career than Reekado’s. That is not to say Reekado is not hardworking or he does not have the talent but lil kesh has that special something. Infact Reekado still does not have any Hit track to date. Yes !!!!! I say that with all sense of authority. Songs like Corner, Sugar baby, Catapult are NOT hit tracks, they are just popular and they could have gone National but they are NOT hit tracks. Dont confuse a popular song with a Hit track. Let me explain, As a DJ if I dont play “Gbese” “Efejoku” “Shoki” “Reggae Blues” “Woju” “Laye” “Godwin” at any party, i will have loads of people coming to request for them but people dont disturb me if i do not play Reekado banks songs. Do you get the point? In fact another proof Reekado still does not own a hit track is that an average Nigerian parent who do not follow music still know songs like “Woju” “Bobo”, “Ojuelegba” and “Efejoku”. While i was writing this, i played reekado’s songs to the older generation and they claimed never to have heard them.
In conclusion

All Nigerian artiste and producers, do not place your hope on the Headies which should now be referred to as “The Leggings”. Do not say because you where not recognized it means you are not trying, keep doing what you are doing and let the Headies keep on doing what they are known for – NONSENSE.. !!! Do not forget to send your insults and blessing to the writer @Baddestdjtimmy and tell me exactly how you feel. I also need someone to clear this please, Don Jazzy said ” The organizers told him to call Reekado to come…So he left Alibaba’s show” Does that mean he knew Reeky was going to win that category? Cynthia Morgan was absent and i am sure the organisers did not tell JudeOkoye to tell Cynthia Morgann to rush down there.”
You be the judge !!!!!

The Headies: Olamide allegedly destroyed the green room (Photos)

Apparently it didn’t end with the Twitter outbursts. According to Linda Ikeji, Following the announcement of Reekado Banks as the Nextrated winner, last night, at the 2015/2016  edition of the Headies, Olamide allegedly stormed the Headies green room, smashed glasses and turned the whole place upside down…….. all because his protégé, Lilkesh lost that category.

Top 10 Good Things That Happened in 2015 | By: Etcetera

I have been accused of being too negative in my reviews. You have accused me of ignoring the positives and focusing only on the stupid, the tragic, the evil, the disgusting, the fake and lying entertainers.
OK, my critics: I have heard you. I have repented. What better time to turn a new leaf than the beginning of the year. And this year, instead of dwelling on the negatives, let me start off with a list of the  Top 10 Good Things That Happened in 2015. Are you ready? Ok, here we go.
Actors Guild of Nigeria finally stopped fighting — “Otito dili Chineke” — Before you scream amen, you may want to note that the reason for the truce might be as a result of the acute shortage of crumbs from the presidency. Just six months after Jonathan left office, the guild’s finance was hit by famine. There has been no free money from the presidency and the beautiful thing is that Buhari’s table is not built to let out crumbs. Ibinabo and co. make una no stop the fight ooo…!
Ermmmmm, ermmmmm, Good lord!! I can’t find another good thing from 2015 for number 2?
OK, let me think and get back to you on Good Things from number 3 down to 10. Hmmmm, 2015 had so many negatives that I am having trouble seeing the positives. Living in Nigeria through the second half of 2015 was like being on a plane flown upside-down by an inexperienced pilot who also had the plane flying tilted to a dangerous angle and with a shaky voice pleading with his passengers for more time to “change” the situation.
Am I saying that 2015 was the worst year ever in Nigeria? Yes I am saying it was worse than 1969, the year that kwashiorkor killed so many people in the country as a result of the civil war.
Yes, I said it. Because back then at least the survivors of the civil war were not exposed to months of which the news media focused only on the question of whether the president will, or will not, appoint his cabinet with each day or make another blunder.
We actually saw it all in 2015. This was the year when our president addressed the German chancellor as the president of West Germany. This was the year when the “lying” epidemic of politicians, which was already horrendous, somehow got even worse. Did Dasuki say President Buhari got two bullet proof cars plus some cool cash from the money he is being charged of embezzling? My question is, when did President Buhari receive this gift from Dasuki? Was it before or after he declared his assets? If it was before, then how come they weren’t included as part of his assets? 2015 was indeed the year of the lying politicians.
Now let me think deeply! What other good thing happened in Nigeria in 2015? Hmmmm ok, I think I have found something.
We didn’t hear much from Tiwa Savage last year. “Oh sorry” she showed us her baby bump. Yes! A baby bump is all we saw from Tiwa last year. Ok, let’s get things straight here, Tiwa in her usual desperate attempt to be in the news wanted us to see her baby through her skin. Madam, we don’t have microscopic eyes naa — and to think that you have resorted to some Michael Jackson sh*t, hiding the same baby from the same public you so desperately wanted to see your swollen stomach is straight-outta dumb.
And as if Tiwa’s baby drama wasn’t bad enough, this was the year Asa chose to do the smelliest collabo of her career with Korede Bello and to crown 2015 as the year of music smellos, Chidinma made it crystal clear to everyone that she no longer needed the bulk of her fan base, chasing them away with the release of one crappy song after another. And why is Chidinma trying so hard to sound like Cynthia Morgan?
Oops!! Did I say Cynthia Morgan? But sincerely, between Jude Engees Okoye and Joy Tongo, whoever took the decision that the “bad-gyal” personality works better for her should have a rethink. Cynthia, you know I love you **wink** – but please leave the nose ring and red hair for Afro Candy.
Hahahahaha where’s Omoni Oboli? The minute Sai baba got sworn into office, premiering movies at the presidential villa went through the window… Aso Rock cinema is now officially closed until further notice. Sai baba nor get time for sme-sme or blue skimpy gowns and heavy makeup. But come to think of it Sister Omoni Oboli, when is your next movie coming out? Or are you still in search of a venue for the premiere? Pen-cinema Agege is available ooo!Lmaooooo!
At this point, I know you are saying: “Ahan Etcetera! Surely there were some positives from 2015 now! – Ok, maybe Jonathan brought a semblance or something close to democracy with freedom of speech and passing of the Freedom of Information bill into law but before we could start having rational, open-minded conversations about issues concerning the country, BOOOMMM!!! the lawmakers moved to gag social media.
Whoever is suggesting that 2015 was a good year for Nigerians must be high. Yes, you must be very high! And I intend to join you in that ‘highness’ later this evening at my usual joint. But before then, let me take you back to some more hideous realities of 2015.
This was the year the prayers of the chickens, goats, cows and rams got answered as Nigerians couldn’t afford to slaughter them for the festivities. This was the year of the worst Christmas ever for Nigerians.
The picture of former President Goodluck Jonathan kneeling before the Obas asking for their blessing was one of the most embarrassing sights of 2015. Jonathan went into the elections with the worst set of advisers. As president, the Obas are below you. You don’t go kneeling before them for any reason.
Davido and his baby mama brought the year to an epic end with a splendid display of fireworks at the airport. This is exactly the type of shows we see when artists fail to use condoms.
Happy New Year everyone!!!

Opinion: Don Jazzy, Olamide and the 'Hyundai Skelemba'-Taking It To A Bank | By : Charles Novia.

The Headies 2015 ( which ironically held on the first day of 2016) was an anti-climax after that.
And perhaps the public tantrums of both Don Jazzy and Olamide were the highlights of what was before then an above average telecast with glaring lapses which could have been remedied with more precision.
When the artistes nominated in the ‘Next Rated..’ category were shown in a mini-documentary somewhere in the show, taking photo-ops in the Hyundai SUV and pleading for votes from their fans so as to win the prize, I told myself after seeing the earnest expectations on their faces that this category would surely be competitive but would have some bad blood drawn thereafter.
The visuals of the four nominated acts seated side-by-side in the hall thereafter, being interviewed by the Hip TV Presenter just before the category was announced also showed an unease amongst them even if they were trying to put up aloof facades.
Korede Bello, Kiss Daniel, L’il Kesh and Reekado Banks. Four nominees in perhaps the ‘closest-to-call’ category in The Headies ever. Looking at the list, they each had hits in 2015. But in my personal opinion ( which I’m entitled to, innit?) I would have pruned the list at the final stage to just two; Korede Bello and Kiss Daniel.

‘Godwin’ was probably the biggest song of 2015, transcending both the secular and gospel charts and finding resonance all across Africa. How could such a song not get the artiste a winner in that category? On the other hand, ‘Woju’ by Kiss Daniel was another monster hit in 2015 which certainly would have won him that prize without raising eyebrows.

With due respect to Reekado Banks, I don’t think his ‘ Katapot’ track was that much of a phenomenal hit in 2015 but it was a good track. And L’il Kesh too, who was touted by Olamide as having back to back hits in 2015 ( by his reckoning) stood a chance as well but I would say a misfit of personal branding by the YBNL team for Kesh might have added to his loss in that category. Club and dance hits are different from acclaimed general hits when it comes to the brass tacks and ‘Gbese Re’ was huge on the club and dance circuits but can’t be termed a huge hit compared to Korede’s and Kiss’
Thus, when Reekado won, I was one of the surprised folks watching on television. Obviously this didn’t go down well with Olamide, on whose label Kesh is signed on to and he went on a profane and perhaps alcohol-induced rant onstage a few minutes later, calling out the organisers and storming off the stage thereafter.

Don Jazzy, the acclaimed Producer, who is the Head Huncho at Mavin Records which has Reekado as one of its acts, picked up the gauntlet a few minutes after while receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award and called out Olamide. He asked Olamide to come take the car won by Reekado and stormed out of the awards with his crew.
Olamide later went on twitter to rant more expletives on Don Jazzy.

Both artistes were wrong on many fronts. For Olamide, his open inebriation on stage calls for much questioning of his public conduct when he’s not in performance mode. As he boasts in his songs, he might have packed halls and swayed trends in the past year but trying a Kanye West onstage at The Headies was ill-advised. One should ask this question ( which I will also throw at Don Jazzy later as well) that if L’il Kesh had back to back hits as Olamide claimed, why didn’t YBNL deem it fit to buy him a car ( if he hasn’t any) all these months?

And Don Jazzy too should have stuffed it when he said that he had told Korede and Reekado not to bother themselves about the car if they didn’t win because he would buy them a car. Really? Did he mean to tell us that with all the shows and endorsements both acts had last year under his management, there wasn’t any ‘change’ left to buy his acts cars?
If that’s the case, something is wrong somewhere.

Don Jazzy screwed up though by calling out Olamide in his speech especially as Olamide never mentioned his name. But to a discerning mind, it seems those two had festering issues before last night and that incident was the last straw.
Mutual discontent and petty misgivings are common in the entertainment industry. I am never fooled by put-on smiles and show of camaderie most times by artistes as they are human like everyone else. What sets off animousities are usually a struggle for a space on top; a definition of ambitious egos or just plain loathing for petty reasons.

The struggle and not the hustle is what is real. Territorial dominance and egotistical relevance.
The major beneficiary from all this, in spite of the furore over the winner, is Hyundai. The brand now has more exposure than it bargained for and everyone would remember the brand for months to come. No publicity is bad at all in this regard for them.
To think that Don Jazzy and Olamide did a collabo a couple of years back and an anaemic one too, in my opinion. A song which didn’t make sense and was soon forgotten as soon as it came out.

With the storm over this award and the degenerative posibilities it portends, one can only suggest to Hyundai to come out with a new model inspired by this.
And calling that model ‘Hyundai Skelemba’ won’t be a bad idea.
The sales might just be something the company can ‘bank’ on.

My take on the Olamide and Donjazzy Brouhaha

Unlike past boring editions, the 2015 /2016 edition of the Headies ended on a dramatic note. Thanks to lead actors, Olamide and Donjazzy. The brouhaha started when Mavin Records artiste, Reekado Banks won the next rated artiste award. Nominees ( Reekado Banks, Kiss Daniel, Cynthia Morgan, Korede Bell, Lil’ Kesh)

//
That grew thorns on Olamide’s skin who felt his protégé Lilkesh should have clinched the prize. Many of the YBNL fans also registered their displeasure on social media, with many suggesting that Don Jazzy ‘bought’ the award for Reekado.

Things however went irretrievably downhill when Olamide was called up to the stage and he reacted to Lilkesh’s loss.

 “This award belongs to Lil Kesh. Lil Kesh is our own Next Rated artist. F**k that shit! The streets ti take over. Every f**king single was a hit back to back. From lyrically to Shoki to Efejoku. Ko ni dafun Iya anybody.”

//
And just as the dust was settling down. Donjazzy came on stage and added fuel to the fire.

“Egbon Olamide, If you want the car come and collect it.”

Olamide deemed his seemingly harmless remark a huge insult. And to everyone who followed up on the story, the maverick music producer had prodded the hornet’s nest. Cos an extremely irate Olamide  took to his Twitter page to hurl thinly-veiled insults at Donjazzy. And unsurprisingly the latter kept his cool and didn’t retort.

My take on the issue.

1) Olamide’s pain was very understandable. Yes his crew was nothing short of hardworking last year.  But he should learn to keep his emotions in check.

2) There was a voting system:  If you don’t tell your fans to vote for you, they WON’T. Popularity won’t conjure votes, persuading your fans will. The YBNL crew were too relaxed.  Reekado had more votes than Lilkesh because Don Jazzy canvassed for them. Can the organisers do us a favour by revealing the number of votes both parties garnered.

3) Donjazzy’s remark was unpleasant. Candidly, it is difficult not to see that as a shade. What fuelled Olamide’s anger was Donjazzy’s suggestion that the car was more important to  Lilkesh than the plaque. That sounded more like a scorn than a joke. Besides, dude was angry and apparently had not calmed down at the time Donjazzy walked up to the stage. The least he could have done was to let sleeping dogs lie.

//
4) Olamide’s tweets were uncalled for and reeked of immaturity. He went too far with the insults. Yes, Don Jazzy was wrong to have dragged your name in the whole mess. But all those insults. All for an award?  Donjazzy gave you one Congo of “taunt”.  You replied with two trailer loads. Kilode? Whatever happened to the spirit of sportsmanship. Sincerely, everyone felt Lilkesh deserved it. Life happens. Learn to lose gallantly.

5) I strongly hate voting form of awards. Most times the award goes to the undeserving. It is supposed to be rewarded by credible umpires and not by the number of votes a nominee can garner. Not all of us agree with Lilkesh’s lyrics but let’s be honest, he had a more fantastic year than Reekado Banks. If Donjazzy spent money and time soliciting for votes for Reekado (which I think yielded great result), pls what did you do for your boy? Well maybe he did sha but Donjazzy’s method was more pronounced.

6) At the end, they will sheathe their swords. It is pointless breaking bottles, picking enemies because of these rich honchos. These artistes like politicians will makeup over bottles of hennessey and hit the studio about the whole experience.

7) Hiptv should organise a concert for losers and give them prizes. Abeg that one na joke o.

Short Story: Pristine | By : Morountodun (Vol 5)

Read Parts 1,2, 3 and 4 of the Pristine series here, here  Here and Here
                                                        
“I should probably apologise for what I did last night, but I really don’t want to.” 
It was camp fire night, and the last Saturday on camp. All corpers were to be seated according to their platoons, but David was sitting with Dara, who looked at him and asked, curious, “Yeah, what was that about?”

He was quiet for a minute, then he shrugged and replied, “I really, really like you. I wasn’t going to say anything about it because we’re only here for three weeks and then we’d go our separate ways, I didn’t want you to think all I wanted was just a fling. But the more I keep it to myself, the more the feeling grows, Dara. And last night, I just couldn’t help it. It didn’t help that you looked the way you did in that dress either.”

She laughed. “It’s an adorable dress, I totally agree.”

“I just wish I wasn’t redeploying or you were redeploying with me so we could be together.” He continued quietly, “Not that distance is really a barrier these days. If you feel the same way, that is.”

She noticed he was looking at her expectantly. She asked, lost, “What?”
He shifted his chair so they were no longer sitting side-by-side but face-to-face, and then he took her hand and said with utmost earnest, “Dara, I need to know that you feel something for me too…that you want me as badly as I want you…that you want to make this work like I do. We could try it out and see. I’m crazy about you and I don’t know how else to show it.”

“David.” The anticipation in his eyes broke her heart. She swallowed hard before telling him, “I do like you very much. I enjoy talking to you, you’ve been like my one true friend since we got here. But I’m afraid that might be all that I feel towards you. I’m sorry.”

He smiled but she thought she saw pain. As he returned back to position, she wondered if she should have given it more thought, or at least pretended to. She had never been in any romantic relationship before and somehow imagined that it would involve much stronger feelings than she had for him. What if she was wrong and the love could grow over time? What if he loved her enough for both of them or if she never met any other guy as sweet? But then again, what if she turned out right?!

                                                                         *************
When she got her posting letter after the final camp parade on Tuesday was when it hit her what she had done—or hadn’t. Mum and dad had gone through so much trouble to get her relocated and she hadn’t followed through with the complete process. She didn’t want to imagine their reactions when she told them. The thought of it terrified her.

“Yayyyy, we got our relocation,” Kenny said in a sing-song, waving the redeployment letter and dancing towards Dara as she stood rehearsing how to break the news to her parents.

“Yay, I got posted…to a primary school in town,” she replied, trying to sound as enthusiastic.

Kenny smiled at her and asked, a little unsure, “It’s what you wanted, right? You wanted to stay?”

“My parents will be furious.” Dara bit her lower lip as she stared blindly into the posting letter. “I don’t even know what to think right now.”

Taiwo joined them then and told Kenny, “We’re good to go. The bus is leaving anytime from now.” They were heading to Lagos, where they had lived all their lives and had been redeployed back to. Dara would have to wait for some more days in Gombe to report at her Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) and settle her posting before she’d be able to travel.

“You’ll be good, right? Please take care of yourself,” Kenny said, concerned, and they hugged.
Taiwo hugged her goodbye too, and as she watched them leave for the bus, it took Dara all her willpower to keep the brave smile on her face.
David called to ask where she was, and he soon came, dragging his box behind him. “I didn’t get where I wanted, but where I got is close enough to be able to work something out with my employer,” he told her.
“Good for you,” she smiled back.
“So…I guess this is it. I’m going to miss you so much, Dara. I’ll call you everyday.”
She laughed. “Please don’t.”
“Are you sure? ‘Cause I could if you wanted.” He grinned.
“I’ll miss you too,” she said, meaning it. And as he walked away towards a Delta-bound bus, she tried to decide which of her parents to call first. Not that it mattered, the deed had already been done and there was little or nothing anyone could do to change it at that moment. They would have to accept eventually, and she would just have to live with the decision she had made, however it turned out to be.

Read President Buhari’s New Year Message To The Nation

Welcome to the beginning of a New Year of the continuation of CHANGE in our beloved nation. I am aware that Nigerians have experienced a number of significant hardships over the past months. Living in the State House has not alienated me from your daily sufferings. I am aware of the lengthy queues at fuel stations and of the difficulties businesses have faced in acquiring foreign exchange.
These challenges are only temporary; we are working to make things better. When I presented myself to you as a presidential candidate and asked you to vote for me, I wanted to be a leader who keeps his promises. I wanted to be a leader who restores the people’s hope in those elected to serve them. I wanted to be a leader who initiates positive and enduring CHANGE.
I am still totally committed to being that kind of leader. Unforeseen circumstances and other distractions notwithstanding, I shall still do my utmost best to keep every promise I made to Nigerians during my election campaign. In the past seven months since our inauguration on May 29, 2015, my administration has focused on laying the right foundation for the CHANGE you voted for during our historic presidential election. Nigerians will in due course begin to enjoy the fruits of all our ongoing work.
The effective and efficient implementation of our 2016 budget proposals will address many of the socio-economic issues that are of current concern to our people. One area in which Nigerians, especially those in the northeast, have already begun to experience major CHANGE is in the war on terror. I commend our Armed Forces for significantly curtailing the insurgency which has ravaged the northeast of Nigeria over the past few years.
However, there is still a lot of work to be done in the area of security. Our Armed Forces will maintain, consolidate and build on their successes in the war against Boko Haram and violent extremism. This government will not consider the matter concluded until the terrorists have been completely routed and normalcy restored to all parts of the country that have been adversely affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.
His Our crackdown on corruption will continue to be vigorously undertaken. I urge the courts to support our efforts and help in the recovery of stolen funds by speedily concluding trials and showing that impunity no longer has a place in our country.
 There is much work to do in other areas as well and I have charged all my ministers and other appointees to ensure that Nigerians experience positive changes in their lives in 2016. We must reduce our country’s reliance on oil. We must diversify our economy.
And we must do all we can to promote job creation. Our challenges are many but our determination to succeed is strong and unshaken. So too is our confidence in God. I wish you all a very
Happy New Year.
MUHAMMADU BUHARI
