Gbenga?...............Yes........Dat's My Name!

The most frustrating experience on good friday was getting my internet connection to work. it certainly did not. unknowlingy to me, the telephne line that connect to the internet has been cut off because i did not pay my bills. in frustration, i resorted to my 21 inches TV box.

I wonder in awe, so many programmes i miss on the BenTV, PassionTV and OBE TV. Those stations showcase best of Africa. One thing that amazes me is the AUMG live and LaffnJamz easter bash which brought artist like styl-plus, faze, ruggedman, basketmouth, omo-baba, daddyshowkey, jazzman olofin, p-square e.t.c to london and most artist that i have never seen on live TV came on to show their talents. Shifi seems much more cool, and i am beggining to hate the dreadlock on zeals head. makes him look like another rastaman.

Tunde is alway forever cool. they sang an acapella in the studio and it shows how much great voice this guys have. Faze seems to have a better voice than Tuface( i witnessed his singing live without instruments) and jazzman olofin seems a bit unrelaxed. That was his first trip to london and he is still not confident enough( i dont blame him), all thesame he was da bomb. trust daddyshowkey to be the greatest ajegunle warrior on set. with all his broken English. Basket mouth was also there to thrill us for 2 hrs on the show. I wonder why i did not get to know about the AUMG live jamz in time, i would have boought my 15 pounds ticket and go to london for the celebration.

This all makes me so proud of Nigeria. Ruggedman( my main man) was da bomb. he showed the real Nigerian taste in him.

For once i reflected back on that easter weekend and discovered i didnt do too bad. Thank God my Internet connection went off.

I first knew about him when i attended a diaspora program tagged "Africa05" in september 2005 in london. His music was so reverbrating that it kept ring in my ears. Now he is dead.

His legacy lives on .................. Do you want to know more about him? visit the link below. http://worldmusiccentral.org/artists/artist_page.php?id=1093

Who says Nigerians dont innovate, living in an unsupportive environment, coupled with an unstable government and economy is a contributing factor to the talents of so many nigerians dwindling in the ocean.Tuface is another talent who despise all odds to be an innovator in the field of music. His hit track “African queen” dominates the music chart on local and African TV stations. Recently he won the MTV best “African Talent”. His incredible popularity seems to spread like wild fire and his popular slangs like “nothing dey happen”, is common among student. Can someone who sees Tuface tell him that he has a die hard fan who believes “something dey happen” coz if “nothing dey happen”, he wont have won the award.

 is funny how time flies” i said to myself as i wait at a “pumpkin” cafe shop encamped in the train station at bedford. The weekend Holiday is over. I just cant imagine how fast it went as my day to day life activities seems to come back to me.i had rushed out of the house i was staying in( Thanks to Yinka) as i didnt wanted to miss the train only to discover that i anticipated to go one hour earlier than the train itself.so i had no choice than to wait at the train station. In this case inside the coffee cafe shop.Life is back to normal again, The sleeping, the working, the church thing, school thing( i am lacking behind seriously) the youth forum thing as well.I still haven’t got over the X-factor. I just cant stop thinking of it. How on earth can shayne be better than andy.The weekend was the last episode for the X-factor 2005. I didn’t really like it from the beginning but i must say that a very close friend has influenced me into becoming crazily mad.it dominated the headlines of the Daily papers. The metro, the sun, the daily star, the guardian, e.t.c.

Maybe’m being sentimental about this, but I think Andy deserves it more than shayne does. shayne is a prettier(excuse my language) handsome, 21 year old guy, thereby increasing his female fans. He beat Andy by 1.4% and he is crowned the king of X-factor.it is however possible for his new debut single to top the UK music chart. He particularly was flawless in his performances and “journey south”, another contestant was’nt up to match as they were  relegated to the third position.
