I SOLD MY RAV4 TO SHOOT KUKERE VIDEO, NOW I CRUISE THE LATEST CARS – IYANYA

When asked during an interview with Global Excellence Magazine, when asked about his first car a Rav4, Iyanya said…

“Let me tell you something, God has blessed me with a range rover of 2010 and I have also driven 2013 and 2014 cars, its a blessing to me but I am not a car freak. I still have a prado jeep that was given to me recently. i still have a fond memory of that my Rav 4 and I still wish it were right there in my garage so that I can be seeing it everyday.
Let me not lie, there was a time I wanted to shoot a video and I had no money. It was kukere. I used cabs all round town just to make sure kukere video was out there. So I was using cabs everyday and people were surprised to see me in them since I used to drive a Rav 4. It was just to ensure that people keep seeing me on tv and not to forget me”

“OUR POLITICIANS HAVE FAILED WOEFULLY” -REGGAE STAR, MARJEK FASHEK DECLARES

In his reaction to the state of the nation Marjek Fashek accused Nigerian political leader of leading their people astray. The talented reggae star said “Our politicians have failed woefully. It is only few of the governors and the president Goodluck that are trying. Fashola, Tinubu, Obasanjo are all good politicians and good leaders too. It is because he (Obasanjo) and Fela has a b**f then but he's a good Yoruba leader. Oshomole, Donald duke are very good too. Those are the kind of political leaders we need right now.” 

In case you don’t know who Fashek is, he first gained national fame on a television show in the early 1980s as a member of Benin-based reggae group Jastix. He has recorded several albums for various labels since, including Rainmaker for Tuff Gong (1997) and Little Patience for Coral (2004). Fashek is one of the increasing number of African artists to be drawn to the music of the Caribbean, specifically reggae, rather than indigenous hybrids such as fuji, jùjú, or highlife. Having grown up in a fervently religious and musical family, he was exposed to the imported sounds of Bob Marley at an early age, alongside the innovations of local stars such as Fela Kuti.
