HOW DBANJ'S PARENTS FINANCED MO'HIT

MAVIN record boss, Don Jazzy, has revealed that it was not all about making money when he started his musical career.  He made the revelation during a chat with Big Brother Naija housemates when he paid a surprise courtesy visit to the Big Brother house yesterday.

Responding to questions from housemates, the seasoned music producer said that he was never money conscious because all he wanted to do was make music. He stressed that he was never bothered even when he wasn't paid after doing gigs and shows.

"My journey has been crazy. Since I started my musical career, I've not been in any situation that I felt like I wasn't successful; even as I was in the church playing for my church elders, I felt I was Michael Jackson doing my thing. I was comfortable doing it, I did not even know whether I would get money. When I was doing Juju music in London, it was the same thing, if you give me money today, fine, the day if you don't give me, no problem", he said.

He went further to say that D'banj's parents were primarily responsible for financing the establishment of Mo-hits records, a record label he co-owned with D'banj.

"Until Mo-Hits time, when we started the company business, we were like this thing is attracting a lot of people from across Africa and the world, so we have to try and grow it into an empire. D'banj and I sat down and agreed that now that we're going to be putting out songs, we need to have a record label, but then we did not have money. D'banj is from a wealthy family, his parents put in some money, they gave us money to shoot our first video. I then decided that since we're partners we're going to share the profit 50/50. As soon as we made the money we went back to appreciate his mother for the help rendered to us at the beginning," he revealed.

The bill, which seeks to turn the Peace Corps, a non-government organisation, into a government paramilitary agency, has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians. Proponents see it as an avenue to create jobs for thousands of youth while critics describe as a duplication of functions already being performed by existing agencies and creation of another bureaucracy at a time the country is finding it difficult to pay workers' salaries. The bill was opposed by existing military and security institutions in Nigeria and the Peace Corps leader Dickson Akoh is currently being prosecuted for alleged fraud. Apart from lawmakers, the bill is also supported by some prominent Nigerians including the Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, who also asked Mr. Buhari to sign to it. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Katsina emir made a similar call on the president on Thursda...
