#Simi hints at Adekunle Gold being bae

 

Fast rising Nigerian singer, Simisola Ogunleye who goes popularly by the stage name Simi has in a recent interview opened up on her love life amidst other aspect of her life.

The singer who kicked off her musical career as early as 10 started out as a gospel singer before making a switch to secular music denied bbeing in a relationship with rapper, FalzTheBahdGuy but quickly became defensive when asked about Adekunle Gold.

This might just be the confirmation needed to reign in the relationship rumours surrounding both artistes.

Read excerpts fro m the interview with the voice behind ‘Jamb Question, Tiff’ and some more singles.

What is the idea behind the video of Soldier?

First and foremost, Soldier is Falz’ song, I just featured in it. I think because of the story of the song, he got together with Clarence (Peters) who shot the video and they decided to make it into a short movie. I guess they felt it would bring in more emotions than just a normal music video. They told me about it and I just featured in it, and I thought it was interesting.

Are you thinking of going into movies soon?

I don’t know really but if I must, it won’t be full time.

You wrote the song?

Yes I did. I remember when I did that song I told Falz it wouldn’t come out till my second album. But later, when Falz wanted to do his album, he buzzed me that we should do a song together. I told him that we should do Afrobeats and he said he wanted Soldier. So, after talking back and forth, we decided to it.

Ever since the two of you did that song there have been a lot of behind-the-scene talks and what fueled it more was the both of you gracing the cover of a magazine. What really is the true story?

I guessed many people sensed the chemistry we had making music and then they just assumed automatically that we were into a relationship. Which is not true. I am actually taking my time to answer this question because many people think otherwise. But the truth is that Falz and I are just friends. It was just a shoot and I think because we both did music together at the time. It doesn’t really bother me.

Did you ever rebel as a teenager?

I was really a pretty good girl then and nobody can say I was bad as a teenager. You know, I was the only girl and my mum had to go to work very early, and she comes home late. So, I really had the opportunity to be wayward but I never had any inclination to be.

Your song, JAMB Question, was everywhere; can you share a hilarious experience you had with it some time back?

I can’t remember a JAMB question but I can remember a JAMB statement that I had (Laughs). There was this guy that came, I can’t remember exactly how old I was then, I think I was 15 or 16 and my mum sent me to go and get something. I was going home from the errand and I saw this guy walking by my side. I told him ‘can you stop walking with me, I don’t know you’. The next time he saw me; he gave me a card that says ‘I really love you’. He would say to me, ‘I really have feelings for you’ and then I will reply, ‘happy feelings’. It was really funny and I didn’t really know him. Later, he became friends with my brother because of me and it was really weird. There are many other instances but this is the one that really stuck.

Tell us about your first love?

My first love? I met him when I was 13 and in SS1. I was just about to turn 14 and he just came to my school. How do you really explain that as a child? But it did happen, and he left my school after a while, so we drifted apart. Then we met somewhere again. We drifted apart again and then that was it.

You are in a relationship now?

Yes I am.

Do you think he is the one?

Well, I hope he is the one because I don’t think relationships should just be for leisure. I can’t really speak for anybody but for me. If I am giving you an access to that part of my life then it has to be worth my while and worth his while as well. But I can’t force it though, if he is the one, fine and if not, fine.

There is this rumour about you and Adekunle Gold, how true is it?

(Laughs) I don’t have any comment on that.

Or he is the one?

I don’t even talk about my personal life so I am not saying anything on that one.

#UNIOSUN students stage massive protest after examination hall drama

#UNIOSUN students stage massive protest after examination hall drama

Just as a protest was underway at Adekunle Ajasin University earlier today, another protest was going  on simultaneously in UniOsun but for a totally different cause. Students got really furious about the "no school fees, no examination" policy instigated by the school management.



As early as 7am this morning, the irate crowd which was made up of mainly sophomore and 300 level students; had gathered at the school gate, shutting it against lecturers and workers of the institution.

Indeed many students might be guilty of not paying their school fees for the current semester but students, especially final year students got the shocker yesterday when students who are yet to pay their school fees were chased out of the examination halls.

Be that as it may, we will not tolerate this inhumane act of the school management as it is totally "anti-student" and out-rightly against our welfare.

Check out #wizkid's perfect lookalike

We have seen great celebrity lookalikes, but yesterday, when Wizkid’s fans discovered Instagram user Melvin, they assumed the singer was running a second page under a pseudonym. But Melvin turns out to be the most astounding celebrity doppelganger of recent time. He matched the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer’s looks, down to the brows, facial structure – and from the poses he struck in his photos – the physique.

Fans have since been barraging Melvin with hilarious comments, with some advising that he employs a manager.

The resemblance is uncanny!

Here’s what fans think:

Isn’t he the best celebrity lookalike of all time?

Check out this #Bayero University undergraduate who started his IT firm at the age of 16

Mahmud Ali Baba Kusa, a 300-level student of Computer Engineering at the Bayero University, Kano (BUK)in this interview spoke on how he established an Internet Technology (IT) company at the age of 16 and how it is faring.

What motivated you to establish an IT company?

The fact that I was born into a family of businessmen and also living in a business area in Kano, made me to develop interest in business at a very young age. I could remember when we were kids, my brother and I were always engaged in one business or the other. We were always thinking of selling candies, purchasing rice in small quantity because we realized that people bought in small quantities, and small packets of rice were not available in the market. 

I also remember that when we were in JSS1, some beautiful watches from China came into the market. I bought one and went to school with it and showed it to my friends. While I was doing that, somebody said he wanted it and I offered to supply it.  I always wanted to be self-reliant; I wanted to own my company so that I could help to reduce the rate of unemployment in our society. In fact I was not having any financial problem when I started; I just wanted to use the skill I had to grow my business for the benefit of people.

How was the company established?

I developed my business plan when I was still in secondary school. I then approached a family friend who is a lawyer to register it with the Corporate Affairs Commission in my final year in secondary school; that was in 2014.  At the initial stage, it started as a web design firm, but later it was expanded to provide services and products like educational software and information technology consultancy. I spent not less than N60, 000 to start off.

How is it faring now?

The company is faring well. I have designed web sites for some schools and companies and currently I’m into talks with some universities and some heads of department at the Bayero University, Kano (BUK). At BUK, I met a friend who also has an IT company but not registered, so we agreed to work together. We go out to source for business. Designing a web site takes us not less than three weeks depending on the complexity of the site and we charge between N150,000 to N250,000. Sometimes I charge less and sometimes I design a web site for fun. But I want people to know that an IT company is a long term investment. It is not something that one can get quick profit from; it has to take some time.

How are you coping, combining business with studies?

I try to balance them, but sometimes it is difficult. IT is something that needs a lot of time and concentration. Even my lecturers ask me how I am coping.

Do you have the support of your parents?

Yes, I do. My parents have been very supportive, although at the beginning they expressed reservations due to my studies. They felt I was spending more time on my computer than my studies. But I am doing my best to balance them.

 Any challenges?

The first challenge I had was when I wanted to register the company with the Corporate Affairs Commission. I had to sign and they said I was too young to be the main signatory. Also when I wanted to open a corporate bank account for the company, I had some problems because of my age.

Another challenge I have is that people find it difficult to accept me as the Chief Executive Officer of the company. Most times, I present myself as an engineer, especially when I want to bid for a business in a big organisation. Sometimes we are not given jobs because many organisations prefer to deal with foreigners. 

What is your plan for the future?

I want my company to be one of the best internet technology companies in the world. My calculation is that by 2026, technology companies will lead the economy of Nigeria. We wish to play a key role in it, God willing.

Do you have any advice for youths?

I want youths to know that nothing good comes easy. They aspire to be like some billionaires but do not want to start somewhere, that is wrong. Sometimes my friends ask me where I would want to work after completing my studies and I tell them that I don’t want to work in big places like the NNPC and the others like they are aspiring. I tell them that I want to work in a technology company where I can make the best use of my knowledge.

Check out what smoking may do to your sperm

A recent study found that the sperm of men who smoke has a greater extent of Deoxy Nucleic Acid (DNA)/genetic material damage than that of non-smokers. Researchers also assessed 422 proteins in participants sperm. One protein was absent, 27 proteins were underrepresented, and six proteins were over-represented in smokers.
Analyses of these proteins suggest that cigarette smoking may promote an inflammatory response in the male reproductive tract. The BJU International study included 20 nonsmoking men and 20 men who smoked. More and more studies are demonstrating a harmful effect of smoking on male fertility. Our results point in the direction of important semen alterations: semen of smokers presents an inflammatory nature, associated with decreased capacity of sperm to achieve fertilization and generate a healthy pregnancy, said Dr. Ricardo Pimenta Bertolla, senior author of the study.

Graduate discards white collar job for scavenging.

Rasak Oseni, nicknamed Rosco, whose life experience is a highly motivational and inspirational one. He is a scavenger, who resides in Lagos and who financed his education with money his widowed mother got from scavenging.

Rasak is married with two children and he caters for his family with the money he gets from scavenging. Rasak is a responsible father and husband, who goes to work diligently every day like every other white collar job employee. He does this so his family can lead a better life.

When Rasak graduated from the university, his mother did not want him to work in the dump, so she got a job where he would be earning one hundred and thirty thousand naira a month but he refused it because he knew he was going to make more money from working on the dump.

On a typical day at the dump, Rasak makes between N9,000 to N12,000 daily (that’s around N300,000 and N400,000 per month respectively) and because he is a familiar face in the dump, he is highly respected and regarded by all.

Abiding by the rule, ‘No food for a lazy man’, Rasak eats from what he makes, waiting until he is done with his work and selling all his merchandise before buying what he’ll eat.

Rasak at work

To Rasak, people that work in the dump don’t believe dirt can kill, they don’t even believe diseases can kill either. Everything they need is in their abode, from barbers to food sellers to toilets to manicurists, who are important to them because they carry a lot of dirty things that are bound to stain their nails and cuticles.

Interestingly, Rasak’s family is highly supportive of his choice of career and they are proud of him to say the least because, to them, it would have been a terrible situation if he was jobless. Rasak met his wife in the higher institution, so he only had to explain to her that he couldn’t cope with working white collar jobs and that he needed to go back to the dump which he described as home. She later came to appreciate the difference between the two jobs. And today, Rasak is almost at the completion stage of his own single-storey home at Ikorodu, which he is building from money made right from the dump.

On issue of the widely known arrogant attitude of scavengers, he said it depends on the situation the person (scavenger) was in. He also said there are health precautions he takes before he leaves for work and on his return. Rasak survives through tough determination and focus because he believes no condition is permanent as one can always turn a bad condition into a positive one.

About coping with the smell of the environment because of the stink in dumps, he said that he was used to the smell since he had been working there for the past 4-5 years and everything seems normal to him. He also revealed that it takes more than just going around, picking things to be a scavenger and that in fact, there is an association that regulates scavengers’ activities.

Rasak narrated his inspiring story when he featured on the Hope 234 show, which is produced by Glass House Entertainment and designed to compel young people towards a positive outlook on life. The show throws light on the weird kind of jobs some people do, especially educated ones, and of which many people are not aware. The show is hosted by Lolo and Saka.
