'Why I'm close to D'banj and not Don Jazzy' - Rapper, Ikechukwu

"I have heard a lot about my relationship with D'banj. Some people call me his houseboy, bouncer, and the rest, but let me say this, I have been close to D'banj since day one. The first time I saw him was at Obi Asika's house, when he was about signing to Storm Records...and if you're observant, you would have discovered that we have similar features; he's lepa just like me and we have same swagger. So we've created some kind of bond right from time which I was not opportuned to share with Don Jazzy. I only find people that find me, simple! Those that I am important to are those that are important to me. I am just chilling with D'banj and now that he's making a stand abroad, it's going to be stupid of me not to utilize the situation he already has. So, we are not just friends, we are also doing business" - The rapper tells Encomium magazine in an exclusive interview

Aerial view images of flooding around River Niger in Lokoja

The images were released by the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, and shows the extent of the flooding in the city caused by the overflowing River Niger, which is virtually cutting off the Northern part of the country from the South. A lot of small villages in Lokoja and Kogi will soon be wiped out if nothing is done soon. The flooding has left many dead, thousands homeless, and movement from one place to the other impossible.

The flooding started about two weeks ago after Cameroon released water from the Lagdo Dam.
The minister of works said that the level of water seen in the past two weeks has not been seen in the last 100 years.

The federal government has contracted three major construction companies to free the submerged Lokoja-Abuja highway from flooding...and NEMA is currently camping thousands of displaced flood victims. More photos when you continue...

Terry G and Waconzy chop off their dreadlocks!

It’s the ‘Chop your dreads off’ season in the Nigerian entertainment industry and a few of our beloved entertainers are keeping with the trend. Pop singers Terry G and Waconzy recently shared new photos of themselves spotting a new look – they’ve both shaved their locks off!

Waconzy calls his new look ‘Waconzy 2.0‘; he went an extra mile by adding a blonde tinge to his hair. Mr Ginjah on the other opted for a very low Mo’Hawk look.

It started with Faze last year who went for a more ‘serene’ look. He was followed by Timaya. The most recent to follow the trend is comedian Basketmouth although he didn’t go for a complete shave-off.

So why are our dreaded stars chopping their locks off? Some would point out that it might have to do with the artiste’s way of re-branding. ‘New album on the way means – new image, new look, something to talk about’, a publicist tells us.

So what do you think about their new look?

VIDEO: Toolz faints twice as Praiz sings!

A lot of female fans have often testified to R&B-Soul singer Praiz’s voice – Sexy, soulful, soothing, sensational, serene, call it whatever, Praiz gets the ladies…

And if you ever doubted his ability to use his voice to drive any woman beyond the point of ‘logical thinking’, you should see what he did to popular OAP Toolz!

While in the BEAT FM 99.9 studios, Toolz along with OAPs Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi and Jimmie were gossiping about which Nigerian male artistes would rock their world.

And after calling names like Peter Okoye, Paul Okoye, Burna Boy and others Gbemi surprised Toolz by bringing Praiz into the studio to sing for her. To cut it short, Praiz hit the notes which apparently hit Toolz in the right spot; making her hit the floor as she fainted…twice.
