The Inspiration behind my new release, "Aji-Zanko"-Joel

One of the youngest, creative multi-talented Artist in the music industry in Nigeria, Joel Gowon, popularly known has MPJ,  has expressed the concept of his new song titled, "AJI-ZANKO."





Joel was born on July 17, 1995 into the family of Mr and Mrs Jacob Gowon. 


According to him, "AJI-ZANKO" is a native word in Port-harcourt that welcomes and acknowledges the rich men in our society."

 'The inspiration behind AJI - ZANKO revolves around those men that has gotten to a certain level and a certain height in our society which should be respected and recognized."

"Aji is a native word that means "welcome"in angars tribe while the "ZANKO" is derived from "BANKO". I removed the B and swopped with Z. Those people who are well made in the society it is just like greeting those who are well made, any rich person."

"Seeing rich people inspires me and birthed the song," he said.

"Talking about the top influential men in the society having your own eyes on them, once you greet an elderly person. So, the meaning of the "AJI" basically means "come" while the "ZANKO" is derived from "BANKO" because those men are well-to-do.

Joel is currently a student Covenant Poly-technic in Kogi State and a native of Kogi.

It’s Wrong To Assume ‘Sexy Women’ Are Promiscuous says Moyo Lawal

Popular Nollywood actress has questioned why women    assume
sexy women are promiscuous while those who are less sexy are not.

The actress went further to advise that it is wrong to assume people are
promiscuous just because of how they look.

Moyo went on to state that it’s sometimes the opposite, adding “you people
better accept, we’re all indecent together.

Sharing a photo of herself in a mini red dress, she wrote in part: “So I was
wondering about something…. Why do women call *Sexy Women * names and
just assume they are promiscuous??”

Operation Amotekun:Tinubu speak up-Yoruba elders

His Voice Is Irrelevant – Afenifere • Governors Did Not Carry
Him Along – Fouad Oki

• We Will Not Surrender Amotekun – Yoruba World Congress,
Plans Protest
• Outfit Is Unconstitutional – Rimdan • Lofty Idea , Should Be
Backed By Law – Rev . Akinola
A socio - cultural organisation, the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE ),
yesterday called on the National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu , to stop playing the ostrich and
speak up now on controversies surrounding the new security
initiative , Operation Amotekun, recently launched by the Southwest
governments.
The Federal Government (through the Minister of Justice and
Attorney General of the Federation ), Abubakar Malami had declared
the initiative illegal , while southwest governors and major
stakeholders in the region insist they have carried major
stakeholders in the Federal Government along since the idea was
first muted in July 2019 .
Tinubu , who is the leader of the southwest APC that currently
controls five out of the six states in the zone , has remained tight -
lipped , and the YCE , Yoruba socio - cultural organisation, Afenifere,
as well as Yoruba Ronu are deeply troubled by his failure to speak .
The Secretary - General of YCE , Dr. Kunle Olajide, told The Guardian,
yesterday , that Tinubu ’ s silence on Amotekun is worrisome and
gives the impression that he has abandoned the governors , who took
the laudable initiative , amidst the rising wave of insecurity across
Yoruba land at the mercy of the “ almighty federal authority .”
According to Olajide: “ One would have expected Tinubu to speak up .
His silence is not inspiring to most of us because it is incumbent on
every reasonable Yoruba person to speak on insecurity confronting
us since APC came into power in 2015 . YCE is not particularly happy
about his silence.”
Olajide urged the media to approach Tinubu to speak up on the
issue because his voice as the political leader of the zone in the APC
is important . “ The entire Yoruba nation supports what the governors
have done in setting up Operation Amotekun, but the Federal
Government just came up to declare it illegal . Tinubu ’ s silence is
absolutely worrisome. ”
Afenifere, through its National Publicity Secretary , Mr. Yinka
Odumakin said Tinubu ’s voice is irrelevant in this situation since
the governors and the entire Yoruba nation have taken a position
on how to provide security for their lives and property.
According to Afenifere: “ Anybody who speaks up or not on this issue
does so for his/ her sake, and the Yoruba future . Operation
Amotekun transcends party affiliation because Governor Seyi
Makinde of Oyo State , who is deeply involved is a member of
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP ), while Governors Kayode Fayemi
and Rotimi Akeredolu of Ekiti and Ondo states spearheading it are
of APC . And most other dignitaries backing Amotekun have no
political leanings. ”

Africa’s wealthiest woman says run for president ‘possible’

Isabel dos Santos

The billionaire daughter of Angola’s ex-president, Isabel dos Santos, has said she would consider running for president in the next election in 2022.

Dos Santos has been targeted in an anti-graft campaign led by her father’s successor President Joao Lourenco, who has vowed to fight corruption and rebuild the economy of sub-Saharan Africa’s second-biggest oil producer.

Prosecutors froze the bank accounts and holdings owned by the 46-year-old businesswoman and her Congolese husband Sindika Dokolo last month.

Dos Santos, reportedly Africa’s richest woman, has denied any wrongdoing and denounced the investigation as “politically motivated”.

Asked in an interview with Portuguese state broadcaster Radio e Televisao de Portugal (RTP) whether she would run for the top job in Angola, dos Santos said it was “possible”.

“I will do everything I need to do to defend and serve my country,” she said in the interview, which was broadcast late Wednesday.

The investigation surrounding dos Santos is centred on the alleged use of state-owned companies to siphon off over one billion dollars.

It is delving into irregularities involving Angola’s national oil company Sonangol and Sodiam, a national diamond marketing firm.

Dos Santos was appointed head of Sonangol by her father Jose Eduardo dos Santos in 2016, one year before he stepped down and handed the reins over to Lourenco.

– Large-scale purge –

The president forced her out of the position within months of coming to power in 2017.

He has since launched a large-scale purge of the dos Santos 38-year administration, during which top positions were awarded to the ex-president’s cronies.

Dos Santos’s brother Jose Filomeno — nicknamed “Zenu” — went on trial last month for allegedly embezzling $500 million from Angola’s sovereign fund, which he oversaw from 2013 to 2018.

Zenu, who faces a maximum of 12 years in jail if found guilty, is the first member of the dos Santos family to be prosecuted.

“The selective manner of this so-called fight against corruption (is being used) to neutralise future political candidates,” dos Santos told RTP, adding that she continued to be “shocked” by the allegations.

Dos Santos has been named Africa’s richest woman by Forbes magazine, which last year rated her net worth at $2.2 billion (two billion euros).

She has holdings in two private banks, mobile operator Unitel, a supermarket chain and cable television among others.

I started my musical career few years ago with a group known as 3zeez in Kogi state. I'm an upcoming Artist.

In 2008 the group did there first recording single which was titled "ibedu."

In that same year I was planing to write my West Africa Examination was looking at the condition of my family  on how they sufferred to generate fund for my exam, I was looking on how to contribute  with  God to my family.

I called the attention of my group after I had done my registration with the little money remaining we left for Lagos to see if we can get a marketer  that can buy our single.

We spent three days on the street of Lagos looking for marketer that will buy the song from us and we had no money nothing to eat no where to sleep for good three days.
We cleaned ourselves with just a pure water and ate a slice of bread as breakfast  and also for evening sleep at bus station and wake up very early so that people will not see us.

After searching we met Mr AHBU ventures he listened to our song and he told us that the song is just a single and the single was not properly mixed by the producer which  was our first single.

He said to us that I love the rapper in the song and he rated the song fourty over one-hundred.
He encouraged us never to give up our vision in life that sky is our limit
Just that word gave me a stand mind set towards life.

Coming back to Kogi state was hell we had no money on us we have to go and beg people, sold our phones the money we made in the bus state could only pay for two seats to kogi  and we were three I asked them to sit while I stood to kogi state.
