Charge According To Your Worth – Shallipopi Tells Artistes

Shallipopi, the popular Nigerian singer, has advised his fellow artistes to charge according to their values.

He stated this while addressing the debate over high fees charged by Nigerian artistes.

Speaking in an interview with News Central TV, the singer noted that an artiste’s value is linked to the success and reach of their music.

While disputing the notion that Nigerian artists have overpriced themselves out of the local market, he emphasised that artistes who achieve similar streaming as American artistes should charge comparable fees.

“It depends on your music and where it has gotten, that is what your price is going to be.

“If your music has gotten the same stream as an American artiste, you should be charging the same way they charge but if is not up to that you cannot overcharge,” he stated.

Why Fuel From Dangote Refinery Is Pure White in Colour – Charly Boy

Veteran entertainer, Charles Oputa aka Charly Boy has provided an explanation why the Premium Motor Spirit also known as fuel produced by Dangote’s refinery is pure white in colour.
He gave an explanation on his social media page on Thursday.

Charly Boy explained that the fuel from Dangote’s refinery was refined from ethanol, making it efficient for engines.

He disclosed that fuel from Ethanol has a good amount of oxygen which lessens the amount of carbonation in engines.
According to the Maverick entertainer, fuel refined from Ethanol reduces air pollution which comes as Carbon dioxide.
In a post titled: “Why Dangote fuel is white,” Charly Boy wrote: “Reason why the PMS is pure like water. Petrol has different colors, when it’s Red that means Octane was added.
 
“When it’s slightly Green then Octane is slightly very much. When is Yellow it means it has no lead in it. That means it’s unleaded. But when it’s clear as water as seen in the video then you should know that ethanol was used. What ethanol does is that it improves engine efficiency and power.
 
“Because ethanol has a good amount of oxygen it lessens the amount of carbonation in engines thereby reducing air pollution which comes as Carbon dioxide. So this is the best form of Petrol. Congratulations Dangote.”
Yesterday, the founder of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote disclosed that the refinery was ready to commence production of fuel..
Displaying a sample of the fuel from the refinery, Dangote said President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Executive Council, FEC, would decide the price tag for petroleum products from the refinery.
