I Relocated To US Because Acting Didn’t Work For Me – Wale Adebayo

Nollywood Actor, Wale Adebayo, popularly known as Sango, has opened up on the reason why he left Nigeria for the United States of America and it was simply because he wasn’t getting enough out of acting.

In a chat with Sunday Scoop, the actor stated that he didn’t wish to relocate to the United States of America at the time he did, but his living condition and that of his family was already deteriorating and so he didn’t have any option but to seek greener pasture.
He said:

“For me, relocating to America wasn’t by choice; the situation of Nigeria played a huge factor in it. At some point, I told myself that I had a family to feed and the industry wasn’t as favorable as it should be. I stopped thinking about myself alone and the need to save my acting career. I wanted to do something for my kids.”

Let’s Discuss!!! SOCO or YE! – Which Is Your Song Of The Year?

 

The battle for the song of the Year has been going on for sometimes now. While sections of the media are split in their decision to choose which song banged hard this year.

The fans too. Opinions are divided, everyone argues one song is better than the other and everyone does not come to a consensus and agree on a unified decision which song did well.
There were several hit songs this year though. We had Fake Love, Nowo, Baba, Assurance, Mind, Soco, Ye, Nwa Baby and several others.

However, the two biggest songs this year happen to be Wizkid’s Soco and Burna Boy’s Ye.
It’s a sharp contrast when we had Davido’s If as 2017’s song of the Year. We all agreed on that and he deserved that.

Do You Agree?? No Matter What Happened Davido Shouldn’t Have Slap Kizz Daniel Manager – Nigerians Blast Davido

 

It’s very disappointing when you see your mentor, icon or public figure behave immature in some situations they find themselves.

For some people with exceptional abilities, the realization that they are, in fact, more capable in many ways than ordinary people lead to a distorted sense of entitlement and self-concept, a deep sense that they are better than everyone else in some ways that are not justifiable.

The DMW boss has been involved in so many crisis this year and for some reasons people don’t see the bad side of Davido. Don’t forget he was declared wanted in Gambia few weeks ago for attacking a professional photographer in Gambia.

Then again, he slapped Kizz Daniel Manager and pour drink on him yesterday at the backstage of his show.

Naijaloaded had quoted an eyewitness report stating that Davido finished performing and was heading towards the changing room when Tumi attempted to seek his attention.

I Am Not Yoruba, I Am Nigerian, We Are One – Falz

 

Nigerian rapper Falz has come under fire on Twitter after posting a video with the caption – I am not Yoruba, I am Nigerian. We are One.

Twitter user @EbubeIsaac re-posted the video with Falz caption and wrote:

“You’re a Nigerian because you belong to the Yoruba, a tribe indigenous to Nigeria before Independence. If Nigeria ceased to exist, you’d still be Yoruba.

You’re not Nigerian before your tribe, you’re Nigerian because of your tribe. You people need to stop this rubbish.”
