DEAD CURIOUS

- Now that we have an MC with an M.Sc, in Naeto C, how long before we have a DJ with a doctorate degree?
- • Why hasn’t someone told Mo’Cheddah that we can already associate her name with her voice and that she doesn’t have to shriek her name every twenty seconds in a song?
- Are we still going to have musicians who will be more careful about openly fraternising with politicians?
- Was MI using superlatives like ‘Epic’, ‘Number 1’, and ‘Undisputed’ as song titles in his second album, to convince us or just himself, that he is the best rapper in the game?

WORD! What Celebrities told HipTv

" I believe, people say the reason why Nigeria is the way it is because even we ourselves; we are not straight as people, so how will the government be. No! Change will come from the top. The reason why Nigerians have… corruption cannot be wiped out completely… is because, the man up there is not a saint because if you were a saint, you will have the moral right to stop anybody. It’s a classic case of Oga dey do am, so we fit do am. If you decide and say No; before this is done, you have to follow due process and this that-that-that. It would spread round, it would start from your office, then you can say you know what; you can have the moral right, because when you steal and keep it quiet. You are stealing and there are other people that know you’ve stolen so it’s a case of secrets. You are keeping it under secrets. But if you open your hands and say No; this Is wrong, it happened in Singapore; A young man assumed power, started living on the same street with every other person, made sure you had a particular time you came to work everyday and he became the S.I. Unit for anti-corruption, the president himself and everything. That is why today in Singapore, the economy is booming. So we can continue to lie to ourselves; create bodies, from EFCC to ICPC, we can give names, we can create ad-hoc committee, we can create all that, we are just running around in circles".

"In anything you do in life, put God first. Be what you are, original, don’t fake yourself. Because most of our entertainers out there are all fakers. They pretend to be good but they are not. Once the hit a little million, you see their true character. So don’t pretend to be who you are not. Come in as ”I’m a greedy person”, we’ll change you. Be who you are and if you make it; don’t wear shoulder pads. Make sure your shoulders are down so that you can retain and sustain your name for a long period"
