NETPod: Aduke – Made In Lagos

Born to dentist father and lawyer mother, one would wonder where Aduke’s interest in music sprung from. Being the last of two children, the Ekiti-born singer says her art is life for her and music is the core of her passion.
Her style, which tends to the folklore genre, might not be new to our ears but in an era where pop sound has dominated the market, Aduke’s music is a breath of fresh air.
‘Made in Lagos’ tells the tale of the city – its highs and lows. Aduke’s strong vocals still sounds quite melodious over well struck guitar sounds. She clearly paints the metropolis in the most vintage way as possible but doesn’t leave out its urban features. Beautiful.

US Based Nigerian Bags 5 Years Over Death Threat

An aspiring US based Nigerian rapper, Olutosin Oduwole, has been sentenced to five years in prison over a note threatening a killing spree unless ransom was paid.

The 26-year-old former Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville student however claimed the note was only his rap lyrics.

Madison County Circuit Judge, Richard Tognarelli who handed out the judgement, however agreed with the Jury that convicted Oduwole in October and also sentenced him to 364 days and a thousand Dollar fine for having a loaded gun on campus.

Oduwole was arrested after police found a note in his abandoned car, just months after the infamous Virginia Tech shooting that left 32 dead including the gunman.

The note demanded payment into a PayPal account, stating ‘if this account doesn’t reach $50,000 in the next 7 days, then a murderous rampage similar to the VT shooting will occur at another highly populated University. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!‘

After his sentencing, Oduwole who got ten years less than what prosecution initially requested, also pleaded guilty to felony charges of theft and computer fraud for an online sale of a gun he didn’t have. He is to serve a two-and-a-half-year probation on that charge to be served with his prison term.

Animal Rights Body Wages War On Kim Kardashian

By Osagie Alonge

Kim K has been regularly spotted rocking fur coats and had over time, received a lot of tongue lashing from the group. But they have gone a step further by launching a billboard campaign against her rocking fur coats.

The billboard ad shows two fox cubs with the statement that reads ‘Kim these babies miss their mother. Is she on your back’?

PETA who named the ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ favourite ‘Worst Dressed Person’ 2010 also blasted the 31-year-old on their official website.

‘Kim knows that animals on fur farms are beaten, electrocuted, and often skinned alive. We’ve explained it to her, and she’s watched a video expose that was filmed inside fur farms. When Kim is ready to put an end to her relationship with fur, PETA will be happy to take her discards and donate them to the homeless’, PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange said.

Ironically, Kim had supported her younger sister Khloe when the latter posed naked for a PETA campaign poster against fur back in 2008.

Konvict’ – 2face And Wizkid Deny Akon Signing

Wizkid, Akon and 2face at CLUB 10

Nigerian pop stars 2face Idibia and Wizkid have denied being signed to Senegalese-American singer Akon’s Konvict/Kon Live record label, stating the news is downright false even though there is a relationship between the parties.

It was earlier reported that Akon had signed the pop singers as representatives to his Konvict Label, after Akon told reporters in Nigeria that he had signed the acts and was looking forward to working with them.

‘In Nigeria with my brothers about to take over Africa with @2faceidibia and @wizkidayo big up to P-square’, @Akon tweeted.

But Now Muzik, 2face’s management company says that 2face hasn’t been signed but has a ‘fantastic working relationship with Konvict/Kon Live’. ‘People must have misinterpreted the news, 2face is however Konvict family’, NM CEO Efe Omorogbe said.

Idibia’s publicist Bayo Omisore, told NET ‘2face has not been signed onto Konvict Music. There are only discussions going on. The agreement we have so far is word of mouth. Until documents are seen, agreed on and signed 2face isn’t signed’.

In similar fashion, Wizkid’s management have also denied the supposed signing; clearly stating that the only label the young singer is signed to is EME. ‘Hey, No Wizkid isn’t signed to any label but Empire Mates Entertainment’, Osagie Osarenkhoe, told us in response to an SMS enquiry .

Attempts to reach Psquare or their reps proved abortive.

Not one is yet sure why Akon went ahead to announce the signings. Enquiries sent to his official E-mail address have not been replied.

A similar instance had happened years back when news of Akon signing 2face’s former band mate Faze surfaced. Faze had told reporters in Lagos he’d been signed on Akon’s Konvict. Akon initially denied, but later, he issued a video release identifying with ‘Faze my home boy’ and assuring fans of a working relationship. The Konvict/Faze deal has, however, yet to see the light of day.

Model Tried to Smuggle Cocaine Inside Fake Breast and Butt Implants

A stunning model proved to be more than meets the eye after she was arrested by Italian police trying to smuggle more than £250,000 of cocaine into the country inside breast and buttock implants..

The 33-year-old woman, identified only by the initials MFM, was held by officers as she tried to distract them with her plunging neckline and tight-fitting outfit at Rome’s Fiumicino airport.

But her plan backfired as they were so captivated by her looks they pulled her over for questioning and discovered the drugs when she failed to explain why she had been to South America.

The woman had flown to Rome from Sao Paolo in Brazil and a search by female officers revealed the fake breast and buttock implants she was wearing had also been used to hide 5.5lbs of cocaine.
