How I’ve Managed To Strike Balance Between Music And Marriage – D’banj

Published

on

Considering the way pop star, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, a.k.a D’banj manages to joggle between a tight work schedule and marital responsibilities, one may be tempted to think he has a secret rule book guiding him.

However, in a chat with Showtime, the ‘Fall in Love’ crooner explained how he has been able to successfully achieve this feat.

It’s been very hard but the truth is one just has to understand what he/she is doing.

When you see the actors or footballers in the club, they’re just normal people, but when the footballers put on their jersey and get on the field, they’re different people entirely.

I was with Obafemi Martins in the club recently and he was just a normal person but when he wears the jersey, he’s a different person.

So like I said, one just needs to understand what you do. As an entertainment person, it’s part of me.

When I wear my costume as D’Banj, I get to entertain my people but then I’ve my privacy and if you check it properly for the last decade, even if I’m out there I keep my private life very private.

If you know how to strike a balance and then God blesses you with the right wife that can understand then you’re good, he said.

Speaking further, he revealed the secret behind his ability to successfully stay relevant on the Nigerian music scene for more than a decade.

I really don’t know, I just do what I do.
But I think it’s just by doing what I know how to do best and being true to myself, being original. Also, believing in God and touching base with your foundation, where you’re coming from. For a very long time I’ve always tried to understand my calling, I think that’s one thing that has helped me to get to this level and it’s been an interesting ride.

The self-styled ‘Koko Master’ who just launched a new YouTube series chronicling his musical sojourn, (The adventures of Koko Master) explained why he needed to do so.

One major thing that has affected us in Africa is that we’ve not documented our stories right and that hasn’t inspired the new generation.

Not every actor can be a Director , Nollywood has become a joke . You see the title of a movie and you already know the end , you watch for few minutes and nothing keeps you . If you have money , pay a director , get good script writers , let’s make nollywood great again

Remember the days of Tchidi Chikere ? You see a movie from him you just adjust your chair and know it’s a good movie 🍿
You see Ugezu you just know this is a great movie

These days one person wants to do everything, it’s sad .

When was the last time you watched a Nollywood movie without knowing the end ?

Is Love Without Billing Possible In Southern Nigeria? —Reno Omokri

Published

on

I can understand why Moses Bliss married a Ghanaian. I have been to Ghana, and their women tend to be easier to relate with than many Southern Nigerian women. In fact, is love without billing still possible in Southern Nigeria? In our part of the world, ‘He is loving’ means ‘He is spending’. When you tell many Southern Nigerian girls, ‘I love you’, they hear, ‘You owe me’. Especially those with Industrial Money Obtainer culture. If you marry the Industrial Money Obtainers, I pity you. The billing will become industrial. You will look after her and her entire family. No capping. And better not expect gratitude. In their eyes, you are doing your duty.

If Nigeria had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to more countries, there would be an epidemic of unmarried women in Nigeria. Because when Southern Nigerian men travel within Africa and outside Africa and encounter beautiful women who are not money conscious, they quickly lose their appetite for Nigerian women. Already, Nigerian men are considered a catch by South African and Kenyan women.

We urgently need a cultural reorientation amongst our women. Especially in Southern Nigeria. The monetisation of relationships in Southern Nigeria is just too suffocating. I am well-traveled, and I am yet to see the level of commercialisation of romance I have seen in Southern Nigeria. I call it as I see it!
