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.

Insurgency: UN, FG launch $1bn 2021 Humanitarian Plan for North East

The United Nations and the Federal Government along with development partners have launched the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan for the insurgency-ravaged northeastern part of Nigeria. The Humanitarian Response Plan represents a collective vision for humanitarian action in 2021, and requests US$1 billion to enable partners provide critical services to the 6.4 million most vulnerable people – from a pool of 8.7 million people in need of some form of humanitarian assistance in 2021 in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. According to the UN, a combination of escalating conflict, displacement, and disruption to and loss of livelihoods due to COVID-19 restrictions, could lead to hunger for millions of Nigerians living in the north-east. The plan, therefore, is based on assessed needs and the realistic capacity of the United Nations and non-governmental organization partners to implement required actions. Speaking at the event, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster M...

TO ALL ENEMIES OF MMM

It's high time we call a spade a spade. The earlier the better for FG, House of Rep, CBN, all Banks and Bloggers to be careful and takeoff their dirty, stinky mouth from the rate at which they mouth-spoil MMM. As a matter of fact, the only reason why Nigerians most especially youths are not on the street demanding for Buhari's head is because of God sent schemes like MMM. If they don't know, let us tell them that WE (participant of MMM) can decide to stop patronizing banks (switching to bitcoin) if they (FG, CBN and local banks) will not see reasons to stop given us issues . Are they blind to see or deaf to hear the news of how a particular president in Africa encourages Youths to take up the opportunities. I believe they know MMM is the CHANGE we've been praying for long ago. If they don't backout, the banks and Nigeria economy will end up regretting because they will end up forcing us to create and promote a platform where we buy and sell in Bitcoin (The Hard ...
