With Five Houses In Lekki, I Need No Social Media Validation – Skiibii

Famous Nigerian singer, Skiibii has talked about some of his achievements and acquisitions.

The singer listed his understated achievements and successes as he claims not to be a social media freak.

In an interview with Adesope Olajide on the Afrobeats Podcast, Skiibii recalled his humble beginnings, disclosing he used to live in Ojuelegba.

According to him, his mum is more than proud of him, “My mum is proud of me, the things wey I don do”.

Unlike his colleagues, Skiibii said he doesn’t do things for social media validation because he is not wired like that.

After his major break out in the industry, the singer was able to slowly afford the better things in life, and eventually buy one house, then eventually four additional homes in the Lekki Peninsula, one of the pricey areas in Lagos State.

“I remember when you bought the house,” the host said, to which Skiibii replied, “For inside that Lekki, I get like five!”

The singer went further to explain how he barely needs to pay for anything aside from petrol because he has everything he needs at home, including a recording studio, which brings him money.

Skiibii was signed to Five-Star Music on December 24, 2014, under which he released many of his hit songs, like ‘Ah Skiibii’.

In 2017, he left Five-Star Music to establish his record label ‘more Grace Music World’ where he worked on his debut album.

His most recent and most popular hit is ‘Sensima’ which took the music industry by storm a year later.

Skiibii also added that he had to simply apply sense and only do necessary things because he has suffered in life.

Big Brother Naija Made Me Recognise My Acting Skills – Diane Russet Speaks

Diane Russet, the ex-BBNaija Season 4 housemate, has recounted how she came to recognize her acting skills.

She explained that her appearance in the reality show played a crucial role in unearthing the talent.

Born Precious Yunana Yashim, the film maker said she never knew she possessed the gift of acting until she got into the House.

She explained it began to unfold with every task they were given while on the show.

Detailing how her acting career began, Diane in an interview said: “So I think it was in the Big Brother house, where were given tasks by Big Brother. So for every task that came, we have like acting things we had to do. And prior to that, I hadn’t even tried to join any drama group, even in church. 

“So I think, that was where I started picking interest in it. And because a lot of people were like, ‘Oh you could actually do something like this. It’s really nice’. 

“And then I just felt like, in my head, a lot of things go through my head. I actually blank out in conversations and that’s because I’m always thinking of story ideas in my head. 

“So, I’d say it was actually something I started thinking of in the house. Before the house, I’d done something on depression. But that was just me trying to create content and show a lady going through depression on social topics.

“So, I decided that, let me do movies but also treat on social topics and different….just social topics especially. 

“So, I’ll say that’s how the interest for me started. So Big Brother was like that push for me. 

On how she further honed her acting skills and experience so far, the media personality added: “I came out from the house, I made friends with people that were already in film production. They put me through and then I started from my short films. 

“And I took the leap of faith to do something bigger which was to record a series on YouTube and progressed. 

“And now, I’m just like cruising and learning through it.”

Paris Saint-Germain Give Kylian Mbappe Two-Week Ultimatum To Sign New Contract

PSG has given Kylian Mbappe ultimatum to sign a new contract.
According to Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe must sign a new contract if he wants to stay at club.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said the club will not allow the superstar France striker to walk away on a free transfer in 12 months’ time.
Mbappe, who has long been linked with Liverpool and Real Madrid in recent years, recently told the club he will not be triggering the one-year extension in his contract.
That means the top goalscorer at the 2022 World Cup will be a free agent next summer unless PSG cash in on his services.
Speaking at a press conference to introduce Luis Enrique as the club’s new manager following the sacking of Christophe Galtier, said: that they “want Mbappe to stay” but he “can’t leave for free”.
 
“We want him to stay but he can’t leave for free,” Al-Khelaifi told reporters.
“It was our oral agreement and he had expressed it publicly in an interview. So it’s not debatable. And I was really shocked to learn that he intended to leave for free.
“It’s very disappointing because Kylian is a fantastic boy, a real gentleman, and leaving for free, weakening the biggest French club, it’s not him. When I received this information, I was shocked and disappointed.”
Al-Khelaifi later added: “That’s why he has to decide next week, or at most in two weeks. And if he doesn’t want to sign a new contract, the door is open. It’s like that for him and for everyone else. No one is bigger than the club, no player, not even me. It’s very clear.”
Mbappe, who has scored 212 goals in 260 appearances for PSG rejected a transfer to Madrid last summer  before signing a new deal with PSG, which was initially announced as a three-year contract but which subsequently emerged as a two-year agreement to 2024, with an option of a third year, which he is now refusing to take up.
L’Equipe reporter Loic Tanzi recently indicated that Real Madrid, Liverpool and Man Utd are potential next destinations for Mbappe.
“They have to open the door (to a transfer this summer). In my understanding he will leave because he doesn’t want to renew and his position won’t change and I think PSG’s position won’t change so I think they will open the door (to a transfer) before the end of the market,” Tanzi told BBC World Service.
“The more complicated thing now is to find an agreement with Real Madrid because PSG won’t want to do any gifts to Real and the Spanish club will try for a low price because they will say they don’t want to pay a big amount of money for a player who is out of contract in a year.
 
“I think he wants to go to Real Madrid, but Liverpool is also there for many years as well. They kept contact with the family for many years. And I would add Manchester United because they will have a new project soon under new owners.
