Why People Think I’m Older Than My Age — Singer, Seyi Vibez

Popular Nigerian singer Seyi Balogun, who is also known as Seyi Vibez, has explained that engaging in activities that people might not expect of him has contributed to the perception that he is older than his actual age.

In an interview with Apple Music’s Africa Now Radio with Nandi Madida, the ‘Chance’ singer said, “I don’t think I am young. Everyone thinks I’m older than my age; nobody thinks I am actually 23. I just have to keep pushing, because it seems I am doing what I am not supposed to do at my age. I will keep working, so my inspiration never dies.”

The singer also stated that aside from God, his late mother was his biggest inspiration. He added that she had passed on, she was always alive in his heart.

Noting that he had more songs waiting to be released, Seyi said, “I just keep recording. It is not because I want to record, it is because I don’t like talking to people too much. From when I was young, I did not like talking to people too much. Whatever is on my mind that is getting me sad or happy, I put it in my music. I record always, because that is the only way I can communicate with people. I have a lot more songs than the ones I have released.”

Fatherhood Has Made Me Stop Dancing In Underwear Online — Skitmaker, Carter Efe Reveals

Efe Oderhohwo, the popular Nigerian skit maker, who is also known as Carter Efe, has explained that since he became a father, he has stopped doing certain things.

Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats, he said, “I do things differently now because I am a dad. There are some things I did before that I don’t do again, such as posting videos of myself online dancing and wearing only boxers. It (fatherhood) has made me upgrade my craft. I also can’t keep doing the same things, because people get tired with time.”

He also stated that he had no plans to separate his comedy from music.

He said, “Music is a gift from God to me. When I came out with the ‘states and capital’ song, it went viral beyond my expectations. I know it is a funny song but then, I am a comedian. I usually obey my instincts. And, when I feel like it, I call another artiste. Music and comedy are not distinct for me, and I won’t be separating them.”

Speaking on why he likes Lagos, the Delta State-born content creator said, “Everyone in Lagos is a ‘hustler’. Everyone is determined and don’t joke with their business. I love Lagos, because it is a place where one can easily make it. People don’t sleep in Lagos. Even me, I barely sleep at night.”

Highlighting some of the simple things he misses about his life before he became popular, he said, “Before, I could go out to play football or take a walk to something for myself. Now, I cannot do things anyhow. I miss a lot of things, but as long I am making money, I am okay.”

Asked what he looks out for in a partner when going into a relationship, he said, “I look out for character and her relationship with God before getting into a relationship. However, I am currently in one.”

Only Poor People Will Go To Heaven – Seun Kuti Claims

Seun Kuti, the Nigerian maverick singer, has claimed that only the poor will go to “heaven.”

According to him, Christianity and Islam are premised in the present, therefore, those with bank accounts and savings won’t make heaven because they don’t believe that Jesus is coming “now” by saving for the future.

Kuti, a self-proclaimed “juju” worshipper said most Nigerians would make heaven because they are poor and only 48 million out of the over 200 million Nigerians have bank accounts.

Speaking in the latest episode of the Spill With Phyna podcast, the singer said: “When people tried to preach to me, ‘Oh Seun, you’ve to give your life to Christ.’ I always ask them this particular question: ‘Do you have a bank account? If you do, you’re just like me. Anywhere I dey go when I die, is where you’re going.’

“Because to believe in Jesus Christ is not to believe in a man or a personality. There are doctrines behind it. You must believe in the death and resurrection. Christianity and Islam are religions of now, the immediate. Everything is based on the premise that everything will end now: Jesus Christ is coming now. If you don’t believe that Jesus Christ is coming now then you’re not a real Christian. But all of you that believe Jesus Christ is coming now, you now have bank accounts for tomorrow? You’re saving for tomorrow. That means you don’t believe Jesus Christ is coming now.

“Poor people are the ones that will go to heaven. That’s what it means. In Nigeria, it’s only 48 million Nigerians that have bank accounts. The government revealed this during COVID-19 when Nigerians were agitating for stipend to be paid to their accounts as palliatives. The government said that won’t work because only 48 million out of 200 million Nigerians have bank accounts. So, hopefully, many of those that will go to heaven will be Nigerians because they have passed the first criteria.”

I Was Bullied While Growing Up Because of My Voice – Singer, Tems

The Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Tems has made a revelation about growing up.
According to the star, she was bullied while growing up because of  her voice pitch.
Tems in an interview with The Cut, narrated that she didn’t speak until age three.
She said she grew up feeling self-conscious because her voice didn’t sound like other girls.
