“Eagles Will Fly Again” – Mikel Obi Assures Nigerians

“Eagles Will Fly Again” – Mikel Obi Assures Nigerians

Nigeria can still progress to the World Cup knockout stage, despite their 2-0 defeat to Croatia on Saturday, according to John Obi Mikel.

Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel insists Nigeria must ‘go back to the drawing board’ following their 2-0 World Cup defeat to Croatia, but still harbours hopes the Super Eagles can progress from Group D.

An own-goal from Oghenekaro Etebo and a penalty from Luka Modric secured the points for Croatia from a turgid contest in Kaliningrad on Saturday, without Nigeria ever looking likely of mounting a comeback.

And former Chelsea midfielder Mikel, who captains Gernot Rohr’s side, acknowledged Nigeria must improve ahead of their clash with Iceland on Friday.

“We have to play better. I think we can play better, we can do better,” Mikel told reporters.

“It’s difficult to say I think. We have to go back to the drawing board and see what we can do better, together as a team.

“It’s not easy playing against these fantastic players, European players; they can hurt you in any given time. We know that, but we have to do better.”

However, despite Nigeria’s inefficiencies, Mikel is confident that progression from Group D is still possible; citing that Argentina’s unexpected draw with Iceland has provided the Super Eagles with a lifeline.

“Why not? We believe. That’s why we’re here,” the skipper added.

“That’s why we came here. We have two more games to play. Argentina drew so I think this is a bit better for us.”Next game, we have to go and try to win the game. If we do that, we’re back in it again.”

Kiss Daniel ‘Your New Stage Name Belongs To Us’- G-Worldwide Slams Kizz Daniel

‘Your New Stage Name Belongs To Us’- G-Worldwide Slams Kizz Daniel



There is fire on the mountain for Kizz Daniel and this is not a joking stuff.

There seems to be no truce in the prolonged face-off between G-Worldwide Entertainment and its former artiste Kizz Daniel.

As we reported on Naijaloaded, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe recently changed his stage name to Kizz Daniel from Kiss Daniel.

Furthermore, the 24-year old singer also started his own record label named ‘FLY BOY INC’.

But in a strange twist of fate, there is a new development.

G-Worldwide Entertainment, Daniel’s former label, has informed the public that its case against Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe before the Federal High Court, Lagos Division, is still on, declaring that even ‘Kizz Daniel’, still belongs to the label regardless of the change in name.

See a full statement from the company below:

“Following several requests and enquiries by Nigerian and foreign online media and entertainment outfits about the status of the matter, it has become needful to notify the public of the current state of facts.

“The suit at the Federal High Court last came up on 16th May 2018 whereupon our lawyers informed the Judge of a pending application for status quo to further restrain the rebellious acts of the artiste in view of the recent release of previously unreleased songs from the Evolution album, as well as the continued use of the name Kiss Daniel without our approval.

“The Judge emphatically told the Kiss’ lawyers to explore a settlement of the dispute as he does not believe the matter is one which should go to trial and that the lawyers should report on any settlement at the next adjourned date, 26th June 2018. We are unaware at the time of this release that the lawyers to Kiss have submitted any proposal with terms of settlement to our legal team.

“It also interesting to inform the public that the Court was informed about the artiste’s release of the new song titled 4 Dayz, and For you a collaborated with WizKid , which are songs from the Evolution album, the ownership of which forms the subject matter of the suit at Federal High Court. We therefore need to let the public know that these releases demonstrate that the artiste is on a trip to put the credibility of other artistes whom he collaborates with in question.

“We are also aware that the artiste has released the video of 4 Days, done a collaboration with Sheyi Shay titled Surrender, and another song Me ke with Omawunmi by changing his name from ‘’Kiss Daniel’’ to ‘‘Kizz Daniel’’. Let the whole world also take note that G-Worldwide is also the owner of the name ‘‘Kizz Daniel’’ (see acceptance and acknowledgement documents from the Ministry of Trade & Investment below).
“All digital platforms have been put on notice for take down of infringing materials where the name Kizz Daniel is in use, and we have responded to foreign and local media outfits on this issue following calls for clarification. We also wish to formally inform the public that the artiste’s use of the names Kiss Daniel and Kizz Daniel amount to breach of the company’s intellectual property rights.

“The company further advises the general public and other artistes to desist from engaging the artiste in respect of the names and contact the company’s management to confirm any information or proposal from the artist or his advisers which we believe are calculated to deceive. We shall also not hesitate to take appropriate legal action to obtain judicial redress where necessary for such infringements.”

ANALYSIS

Somebody has got to be fired in Kizz Daniel’s legal team cause this is a disaster 

G-worldwide understandably took away his first name “Kiss Daniel”, now they have also taken away his second name “Kizz Daniel” 

Do you know why??!

Well, Daniel’s team apparently forgot a simple thing to trademark his new name in accordance to the Trade Mark Acts Nigerian law.

Unbelievable! Only In Nigeria! This is Nigeria!

Our fingers crossed for what will happen next in this matter.

Chelsea Rejects Arsenal’s £17.6 Million Bid For David Luiz

Chelsea Rejects Arsenal’s £17.6 Million Bid For David Luiz

Reports in France suggest that Chelsea have rejected a £17.6m bid from their London neighbors Arsenal for defender David Luiz.

According to French outlet Le10Sport, as quoted by Metro, the gunners had a bid for the 31-year-old Brazilian defender turned down by Chelsea FC in recent days.

David Luiz’s future at Stamford Bridge has been in doubt as he fell down the pecking order last term in Conte’s side, and various speculations have suggested that he may leave the club this summer.

The report went on to claim that Arsenal might be working on offering an improved bid for the defender as the initial bid was rejected by the Stamford Bridge outfit.

David Luis made just 9 starts in the Premier League for Chelsea last season.

“I Am Not Worth My World-Record €222 Million Transfer Fee” – Neymar

“I Am Not Worth My World-Record €222 Million Transfer Fee” – Neymar



Brazilian superstar forward says he is ‘not proud’ of his world-record transfer fees.

Neymar has admitted he is not worth the world-record £200million Paris Saint- Germain paid for him.

The French giants triggered the 26-year-old Brazilian star’s €222million release clause to sign him from Barcelona last summer.

Asked about his record move, Neymar said: “I’m not proud of the transfer fee, nor of the fact I’m the most expensive player ever.


“That’s just money and nothing else. I cannot help it. Personally, I would have paid less for myself.

“I’m proud that I’ve achieved my childhood goal. That was, and is, most important to me. As a player, you always have to show who you are and assert yourself.

“Just referring to the transfer fee does not help you and says nothing about how good you really are.”

The Brazilian superstar has been a sensation in Paris. He scored 28 goals in 30 appearances for PSG and was crowned the Ligue 1 Player of the Year.

RCCG Pastor Declares For Presidency Under Obasanjo’s ADC

RCCG Pastor Declares For Presidency Under Obasanjo’s ADC

A Pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Emmanuel Ikechukwu, has declared his intention to run for the office of the President in 2019.

Declaring his intention in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Ikechukwu disclosed that his mission was to rescue the nation from ‘economic doldrums.”

Ikechukwu, a Pastor at Rivers state Province 10 of the RCCG, declared for the 2019 Presidency under former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s inspired African Democratic Congress, ADC.

He said:-

“When this (Buhari’s) government came up with this anti corruption corruption issue and made it a focal point, it scared a lot of investors away.
You don’t scare people away. You try to see how you can tackle the economy.
“Though corruption needs to be taken care of, you cannot eradicate it from any human environment. What you need to do is to focus on basic challenges that intensify corruption.
If you fix the economy, insecurity, corruption would be taken care of.
“We need to tackle unemployment and insecurity. And the assured way to achieve that is to create industries through conscious technological advancement” improving the economy is not rocket science.
“What a government needs to do is effective partnership with the private sector to develop education, infrastructures,
build industries to create jobs, reduce employment, and partner financial institutions to support sustenance of small and medium scale enterprises for the masses through cooperatives financing.
“At 40 and given my background and experience, I have all it takes to steer the ship of the nation from prolong economic doldrums. People say it is easier said than done, that when you get there, a lot of things will overwhelm you.
“I say to them nothing can overwhelm me. It is not rocket science. To fix the economy and create jobs is not something we will get from outer space.
The opportunities, human or natural resources, are around us, all a genuine change agent needs is the will and I have it.”

“Why I Wanted Liverpool To Beat Madrid In UCL Final” – Barcelona Star, Lionel Messi

Barcelona star, Lionel Messi, has revealed he was rooting for Liverpool to beat Real Madrid in the final of last season’s UEFA Champions League.

Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, who is currently in Russia with his team for the 2018 World Cup, has revealed that he was rooting for Liverpool to beat Real Madrid in the final of last season’s UEFA Champions League.

Barcelona’s rivals, Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev, Ukraine to win the competition for a third successive year and a record 13th title.

The Catalan giants were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the competition by Roma in dramatic fashion.

When asked who he backed to win the final, Messi replied: ”I want to win. What the other teams do doesn’t interest me,” he told Sport.

“As a Barcelona player, and when we’re not [left] in a competition, I never want our main rival to win. But, first of all, I want to win myself.”

And when asked if he watched the final, the five-time FIFA Player of the Year stated he only saw highlights due to time difference.

“Just bits, to be honest. Not because I didn’t want to but because we were in Argentina and the time isn’t the same. I saw the highlights and everything that happened.”

Messi and his Argentina teammates who are already in Russia ahead of this year’s FIFA World Cup, are drawn in Group D with Nigeria, Croatia and Iceland.

Former Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has said he feels good after leaving the club.

Zidane stepped down 11 days ago as coach of the LaLiga side, five days after winning a third consecutive Champions League title.

At the event, Zidane was joined by fellow World Cup winners Laurent Blanc, Youri Djorkaeff, Fabien Barthez, Christian Karembeu and Robert Pires, one day ahead of a charity match between the 1998 World Cup champions and a selection of international players to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the title.

Justin Bieber Net Worth – What You Must Know (2018)

 Justin Bieber Net Worth – What You Must Know (2018)



Here is Justin Bieber net worth – What you must know (2018) – Born Justin Drew Bieber in 1994, Stratford, Ontario, Canada. Bieber is just about the most successful youngish dude in the game, with a career hinged on singing, song writing and a little acting.

When most kids could barely put their acts together, Bieber was busy gleaning skills in drums, piano, guitar and trumpet.

He took his  awesomeness further by doing YouTube videos of songs by great artists he admired, till a talent harnessing genius found him and boom!

The world’s most affluent music youngster emerged.

ALSO READ: Rick Ross Net Worth

Justin Bieber net worth is one the largest in the world considering his age and music career stint.

He began in 2008 with the cavalier YouTube videos, and after he was discovered, he was signed into record label Raymond Braun Media Group where he did his first EP album titled “My World” in 2009, and officially debuted mainstream in the music industry with his full-length studio album “My World 2.0” in 2010.



Subsequently, the U.S billboard charts began whining of incessant violations, as Bieber kept going off the charts, demolishing records and setting up his at will.
How Justin Bieber net worth was established

Album and Singles Sales

In the course of his positive streak in the music industry, Bieber has sold over 140 million records worldwide and is among one of the world’s best selling recording artists.

He has released a total of four albums with each recording massive sales shortly after being available for mass purchase.

His fourth album Purpose sold over 4.6 million copies in a year, becoming the fourth best selling album in 2015.

In 2011, he was under Forbes list of best paid celebrities under 30 after garnering $53 million in 52 weeks from recording.

We are thinking “under 30” by Forbes was too enormous, he was just 17 at the time, yet to attain adulthood and with a voice as light as a tweeting bird.

Under 20 would have really rubbed it in on history, appearing on Forbes list is really means he is a biggie, so it’s all cool.

Music World Tours

The singer has gone on tours around the globe for his four mega albums.

These tours reportedly shut cities down, venues were sold out and Justin Bieber net worth accelerated to heights taller than him and his adolescent incredible self.

Acting

His concert film Never say Never, shocked the box office when it grossed $12.4 million on the first day of release, went ahead to a staggering $31 million in subsequent weeks and finally raked in a fortune of over $98 million.

Endorsement Deals and Business

Justin Bieber has been involved in a couple of endorsement deals which includes; a deal with sportswear giants adiddas in 2012 and underwear frontliners Calvin Klein in 2015.

He was also endorsed by beats by Dr Dre, Elizabeth Arden and BestBuy.

In business, he owns four fragrances namely; Someday launched in 2011 and sold over $3 million in weeks, Girlfriend (2012), The Key (2013) and his last Justin Bieber’s Collector’s Edition in 2014.

Net Worth: The Canadian Born singer, according to Forbes, has a net worth valued at a whooping $225 million.

SHOCKING!!! “Didn’t Sign Any Papers With Mavin” – Iyanya Spills Truth

SHOCKING!!! “Didn’t Sign Any Papers With Mavin” – Iyanya Spills Truth

Former TripleMG co-proprietor and artiste Iyanya is in a good mode to let fans in on a little mystery.

The little mystery Iyanya shared is that his association with Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records was not a legally binding contract with any type of printed material.

The “Kukere” master uncovered in a series of tweets that he never signed any papers to end up a Mavin Records artiste. He joining the Don Jazzy-let music imprint was a temporary thought. He recognized that Don Jazzy gave him a free go to join the group for the time. The entire idea was birth by The Temple Management Company manager Idris.

After making the disclosure, Iyanya said that he would put new music back to back. He sure sounded like somebody who has at last gotten things which made sense about his music.

BREAKING!!! MURIC Announce New Plan For Punishing Falz

BREAKING!!! MURIC Announce New Plan For Punishing Falz

The Islamic association that threatened Falz with a court case, over his ‘This is Nigeria’ official music video; have announced that they would no longer be heading to for court over the issue, rather they would report Falz to proper agencies.

The group, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), discharged an announcement some time last week, scolding Falz over the content of his video which was named as a ‘hate video’ made to criticizes Islamic religion. The group gave Falz a 7-day offer to bring down the video and tender an official apology.

In reaction to the threat, the rapper turned out to clarify the plan behind the video to the public via interviews. He anyway declined to apologize for his creative direction in the video, demanding that his message is legitimate. He went ahead to express that he is set up to meet the MURIC group in court should they decide to follow up with their threat.

The latest proclamation from MURIC reads that the group has ruled against going to court but would report Falz to the suitable agencies. The expert of the announcement discharged by the gathering read,

‘In view of the intervention of well-meaning Nigerians, counseling from several quarters and commitments given by us to those who interfaced with us on this matter, an emergency meeting of MURIC’s Think-Tank was convened on Sunday, June 10, 2018 to review the situation and resolved to drag the artist to government agencies saddled with the responsibility of censoring films and videos. It is not a U-turn but a sudden change in tactics’.

See the full statement below.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) last week resolved to sue Folarin Falana (Falz the Bahd Guy), a Nigerian artist, who produced the video song titled ‘This is Nigeria’ in which a Fulani man was seen beheading somebody. The video also featured hijab-wearing female choreographers dancing the ‘shaku-shaku’ (a dance associated with drug). A seven-day ultimatum was given for the withdrawal of the video and an apology failing which a legal tussle would be launched.

Our office has since been inundated with solidarity visits, while our telephone lines have been flooded with a deluge of calls from members, friends, well-wishers, journalists and other concerned Nigerians, majority of whom are of the Islamic faith.

In view of the intervention of these well-meaning Nigerians, counseling from several quarters and commitments given by us to those who interfaced with us on this matter, an emergency meeting of MURIC’s Think-Tank was convened on Sunday, June 10, 2018 to review the situation.

In deference to pleas made by well-meaning Nigerians, in order to keep faith with our avowed motto (Dialogue, Not Violence) and to further confirm that MURIC is a listening, mature and responsible organization committed to promoting peace in Nigeria, the Think-Tank resolved to drag the artist to government agencies saddled with the responsibility of censoring films and videos. It is not a U-turn but a sudden change in tactics.

This will have a more enduring impact not only on Falz but the entire entertainment industry. It will also make the agencies sit up to their responsibilities and inject a huge dose of discipline in the music and film industries in general.

MURIC expresses deep appreciation to its members nation-wide, particularly Muslim lawyers who volunteered to take up the case gratis, leaders of Islamic organizations across the country who offered their solidarity as well as senior civil servants who shared their rich experiences with us.

Although he stopped short of apologizing, the artist has tried to clear himself in published interviews made available to us. According to him, he did not intend to ridicule Muslims. He said his intention was to call attention to the plight of the Chibok girls although we think he has done that the wrong way.

A scene in the video in which the ‘Chibok girls’ are in pensive mood would have been more representative of the reality on ground because kidnapped girls cannot be dancing like people under the influence of drug. They are in captivity and so they have no cause under the sun for jubilating.

Again, the Fulanis (Muslims) were painted as killers while Benue militias (Christians) who rustle Fulani cattles and slaughter their wives and children were not featured. This is grossly unfair. Falz should find a way of balancing his video. The kidnappers of the South East (also Christians) were spared while the oil saboteurs of the Niger Delta (Christians too) were ignored. Falz video is loaded with Islamophobia. That video should be titled ‘This is not Nigeria’. It is Islam-bashing. Nigeria’s video regulatory agency should therefore ban the video or ask the artist to edit it properly.

With this latest development and even before the seven-day ultimatum expires, MURIC is no longer contemplating court action against Falz, neither are we demanding any apology from him or his management. The likely pecuniary gain in the event of a court validation of our claims does not interest us. We are no longer looking at Falz but at a larger picture.

The courts will only be interested in legalities, judiciability and technicalities but the video board will look beyond all that. Is it professional? Is it balanced? Is it truly representative of our country? Is it morally justifiable? These are what will interest the board and they are in tandem with our thinking. We appreciate artists and our aim is not to punish Falz. He is not a lazy Nigerian youth.

The matter will now go to those government agencies who are supposed to do their jobs in the first place. Instead of creating media tension and granting cheap popularity, this matter will now be handled by professionals who know what to do.

Our emphasis is going to be mainly on the portrayal of Fulanis as killers in the video with the concomitant ugly perception it is likely to create among Nigerians as well as its bandwagon effect on the image of Muslims in general. This is one area Falz has not been able to explain away, yet he refused to apologise. That aspect of the video would have been edited had the censorship agencies done what was expected of them or if Falz had followed due process.

In the interest of peace, law and order, we are calling on the National Film And Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to take up the matter from this moment. Although MURIC will still do a followup with an official petition, we expect the board to have begun its independent investigations on the matter particularly with the furore generated by the issue.

In a nutshell, we insist that Falz video “This is Nigeria” is offensive and provocative. It portrays Fulanis (and Nigerian Muslims) as killers. It is capable of igniting crisis and precipitating a general breakdown of law and order. The video board must therefore do the needful.
