Why my music appeals to the younger generation— Adewale Ayuba

-
Bonsue Fuji crooner, Adewale Ayuba, is a veteran Fuji artiste
young people enjoy listening to because of his unique
delivery, dance steps and lyrics. In a recent interview, the hit
maker, also known as Mr. Johnson, sheds more light on
why his music still appeals to the younger generation.
“My music appeals to the younger generation because I try
to digitalise Fuji music. Before now, we usually have a 20-
minute long playing song. Now, we convert it into a track so
it can be easier for the younger generation to share it and
radio stations can play it.
"I also try to change the way my music sounds. I make use
of indigenous and contemporary music instruments. It is
good to follow current trends and whatever is happening
around you. I have collaborated with Tiwa Savage, Jazzman
Olofin, and very soon Yemi Alade. My duty is to take Fuji
from our shores to the western world.”

NAPIMS gets indigenes’ support over $260m contract

-
The National Petroleum Investment Management Services, NAPIMS, has received the backing of the Niger Delta Indigenous Movement for Radical Change, NDIMRC, on the approval of $260 million contracts for ExxonMobil’s Usan Field. A statement by the group’s President, Nelly Emma, said that the contract award followed due process, adding that some elements were just out to tarnish the good image of NAPIMS. “Those behind the story that the contract was fraudulent are not telling the world the whole truth. This contract was managed by Total Upstream Nigeria Limited, TUPNI, for two years before it was taken over by ExxonMobil and it is not true that NAPIMS allegedly approved the $260 million contracts illegally. “To the best of our knowledge, due process was followed by NAPIMS in the award of the contracts. Without NAPIMS, it would have been very difficult for Nigerian local contractors to be awarded contracts. The allegation that NAPIMS approved the $260 million contracts il

MTN wins respite over huge fine

-
South African telecoms giant MTN has won a respite on the payment of a massive $5.2 billion fine imposed on the company in Nigeria to allow for negotiations, the mobile phone operator said Monday. The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) slapped the penalty on Africa’s largest telecoms firm for failing to deactivate 5.1 million unregistered SIM cards, sending its share price plummeting and leading to the resignation of chief executive Sifiso Dabengwa. The deadline for the fine to be paid was November 16, but the company announced that the NCC had agreed that it will not be payable until the end of negotiations entered into by acting executive chairman Phuthuma Nhleko, who has taken on Dabengwa’s role for six months. “Shareholders are advised that the executive chairman of the company, Mr Phuthuma Nhleko, has personally met with the Nigerian authorities to continue the ongoing discussions with them regarding the fine,” the statement said. “These discussions includ
