My heart skipped when I heard the news. So glad it was nothing serious. Former Super Eagles Captain and founder, Kanu Heart Foundation, Kanu Nwankwo over the weekend had his second (corrective) heart surgery at the Cleveland Hospital, Ohio, USA; the same hospital that handled the first surgery in 1997.

2014 World Cup: FIFA cancels Nigeria's ticket allocation

Interesting! FIFA has cancelled about 11,000 tickets meant for Nigeria simply because Nigerians have refused to buy them. Idris Adama, Head of Marketing, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) yesterday revealed that only 400 Nigerian fans purchased match tickets by the deadline.
“It is unfortunate that our share of about 11,000 tickets was cancelled because of the refusal of our people to buy the tickets. We sent news releases and even did event in Lagos to create awareness, but people did not respond. Only 400 real fans bought the tickets as at midnight of February 7, which was the deadline. As I speak, our three group matches have sold out and what ordinary should be our share of the tickets to pick up have been allotted to fans from other parts of the world waiting for the tickets to be withdrawn from the African participating nations,” He stated.
Unfortunately, the Brazilian government has mandated its embassies worldwide to make provision of match ticket as condition for issuance of visa.
“Except you are going to Brazil for other business, you can’t get a visa without a World Cup ticket, because it is one of the conditions the Brazilian government has set for its embassies globally. You need evidence of a ticket, either physically or approved proof from FIFA that you have purchased a World Cup ticket. We will have to wait till the next balloting in April which is based on first come, first served basis.” He added.
Top Ten countries with the highest no of ticket Allocations.
* Brazil – 906,433 tickets
*USA- 125,465
*Colombia – 60,231
*Germany – 55,666
*Argentina – 53,809
*England – 51,222
*Australia – 40,446
*France – 34,971
*Chile – 32,189
*Mexico – 30,238

Harrysong charges N1m to write a song? For real?

 
Nigerian artistes pay as much as N1m to have their songs written by professional songwriters? For real? That’s exactly what rave of the moment singer, Harrysong of the “Taiye Kehinde’ and “I’m in Love” fame told a PUNCH journalist. The Five Star Entertainment artiste also disclosed that he made over N50m from MTN callerback tunes for his “Mandela song”, well, the song actually got millions of downloads.
“Before now we charged between N100, 000 and N2000, 000 for a song. Today I charge as much as 1million to write a song. Truth is, Nigerian artistes have begun to appreciate songwriters. They pay me my money and appreciate me. I have written a lot of songs but I don’t talk about them because Nigerian artistes don’t like it when the songwriters take credit for composing songs for them.”
The proceeds from the caller-back tune is actually worth more than N50m. Truth is, I was paid a lot of money; you know – when they say money that can change someone’s life. That’s the value of what I received. I can’t reveal the exact amount because we work as a team. So, all the money realised is shared among us. You just want to forget all the years of suffering. It’s not a mere hype because the money is there. The song is everywhere. You go to South-Africa , the girls are crazy about it.” He concluded.
