Here is the full list of nominees:

Did Tiwa Savage beget Seyi Shay?

The global music industry has from time immemorial been a male dominated industry.
This situation is clearly observable as well in the Nigeria music industry where for one female rapper there are 5 male rappers and for one female singer, you can find 20 male singers.

Tiwa Savage

Seyi-Shay

Not to get you bored, this piece is actually not a comparism feature between male artistes and their female counterparts but an insight to how well Nigerian female artistes are thriving in spite of the strive amongst males. Tiwa-Savage and Seyi-Shay happen to be just two of our celebrated female artistes whom we are confidently proud of.

In 2010, we all got introduced to Tiwa-Savage when she released her first single under Flytime Entertainment headed by Cecil Hammond; the song titled “Kele Kele” was produced by H-Money and ever since Tiwa has worked her way to becoming one of Nigeria favorite female artistes.
Two years later, we were made to notice another Nigeria talented female artiste- Seyi Shay. Following the path of Tiwa, Seyi-Shay released her official singles “No Lele” and “Loving Ur Way” produced by H-Money and was also released under Cecil’s Flytime Entertainment as well.
It struck me to observe that beside the fact that these two female artistes chose to work with the same producer on their first singles which is based on their productive stay in England, there seems to be more similarities in their musical career.

'Ewedu' Can Prevent Ebola?

Professor Adebukola Ositelu, consultant at the Lagos University Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba has said that Ewedu (known in English as a Long-Fruited vegetable), has the capability of preventing and maybe curing the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) by boosting the immune system.

Ewedu (long fruited vegetable)

Prof. Ositelu who disclosed this at the annual African Traditional Medicine Day organised by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Thursday, September 4 at Ikeja, Lagos, said the vegetable had a high potency to boost the immune system such that it’s usage would prevent an individual from being infected with Ebola.
Ositelu, who is a professor of ‎Ophthalmology at the University of Lagos, Akoka (UNILAG), added that the vegetable could also get rid of the virus in the case of an infected person, Daily Sun reports.
On how to administer the treatment, she said the Ewedu should be rinsed thoroughly with liquid vinegar. Then it should be blended and cooked with drinkable water, without adding salt or potash (locally called akaun) or any other ingredients.

D'Banj's Billionaire Boo, Adama Indimi, Sizzles In New Photos

In recent times, Dbanj has been linked with a lot of ladies, but the recent news pipping hot is his public show with Gorgeous Adama Indimi who is one of the daughters of billionaire oil magnate, Maiduguri-based Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, the Chairman of Oriental Energy Resources.
Reports making round is that the kokomaster, D’banj has allegedly proposed to his girlfriiend, Adama Indimi.
Adama who has been seen in the company of D’Banj, has been flaunting a diamond ring in new pictures she posted on Instagram, prompting rumors of an engagement.
She is a model and runs a successful travel agency, Kauna Solutions. She is a masters degree holder from Lynn University, Florida US. Although Linda Ikeji confirms that the beautiful model briefly dated D’banj a few years ago but both had to go their ways after a while, it looks like the love has actually not turned sour as they have been stepping out recently, especially to family functions.  She was spotted at the birthday party of Dbanj’s mum, a private birthday get-together meant for just the children and the mum.
However, the diamond ring she’s showing off has made many to guess if actually she and D’Banj engaged already after it was spotted on her left finger at Dbanj’s mum 61st birthday celebration.
