Kwame shed more light on the need for the retreat and re-emergence of the brand with plans for the future. “Nigezie, the all music station will continue to be a yardstick for quality entertainment and become a platform for effective self expression for thousands of creative people within and outside the country, with prime programs such as E-XTRA, TEAR RUBBER and NIGERIAN TOP 20. The channel will still showcase the positive mental attitude, tenacity and vision of the Nigerian spirit”.

“The Logo has worn a stronger, bolder, greener and well grounded look; this will reflect the strong and vibrant spirit of the Nigerian and solid state of the company as a whole from the journey of yesterday till present”.

Speaking on the second pioneering brand, Orisun (meaning the source), Kwame said “the indigenous Yoruba channel will mirror the lifestyle and culture of the Yoruba race via movies, soaps, documentaries, series, talk shows and a host of other programmes, hence it will portray the uniqueness of the Yorubas. The channel will serve as the source of high end quality Yoruba entertainment”.

As regards the broadcast platform for the rebirth of Nigezie and the launch of Orisun, Kwame said “the introduction of the digital terrestrial platforms in Nigeria has urged us to launch the 2 channels on the StarTimes Platform. Nigezie broadcasts on Channel 128 while Orisun broadcasts on Channel 130. The plan to use the platform came as a result of the fact that in the nearest future, the digital terrestrial platforms will create unimaginable possibilities in the industry”.

VNM has created a brand that will aggregate all its brands, radio shows, reality shows, amongst other content under one umbrella called VIRTUAL MAGIC.

Lil Wayne Announces Release of Love Songs He Wrote in prison

 Lil Wayne's next project will be full of his version of love songs, all of which were written in prison.

Weezy spoke to MTV and revealed that his follow-up to last year's double-platinum Tha Carter IV album will be titled Devol.

Yup, that's 'loved' spelled backwards, but he pronounced it 'devil', which gives us an insight into an album full of what he described as 'my version of love songs.'

'What I mean by my version of love songs is meaning they're not saying, 'I love you', they're saying.' and he trails off chuckling.

The songs were written during his stint at Rikers Island in 2010. 'It's all material I did when I was locked up,' he said.

There's no word on a release date, but Lil Wayne has mentioned that he'll release a sequel to the excellent I Am Not A Human Being mixtape in the middle of this year.

Charly Boy Calls His Wife a "Whore" ?

Charles Oputa better known as Charly Boy is as controversial as it goes.From his weird lifestyle to independent mind,he has however, won for himself thousands of admirers across the nation. In a recent interview,he talked about his family life,listing some of the factors that have kept his 25 year old marriage.  

First,I thank God for His mercies. It has not been easy one bit, but this much should be said.If two people with mutual respect,friendship and love are determined to make a union work,it will work.
Don’t also forget that I have picked up experience after having gone through almost four marriages in less than eight years. So,I think these are some of the factors that helped me in this one.
 

Women are all the same,no matter where they are from.
You must study their manual if you are to live in peace with them.
They are basically the same.If you make a woman feel like a queen,make her understand she comes first in your life,and treat her with dignity and respect,half of the problem is solved.
We talk a lot in my marriage.So at every point,each of us can almost tell what the other person is thinking.We have great friendship.

My wife has seized to be just a wife long time ago.She is my girlfriend,my bitch,my whore,my sister,my mother,my confidant and so many things rolled into one.

Sometimes we go to short time hotel.My wife is my prostitute and I’m her prostitute.

This man is sure weird. some say it's cheap publicity stunt??
