Dear Blog! Eku Ojo Meta





Dear blog,

How are you? I know it has been forever and a day more, and I sincerely apologize for not being with you, since. It's been a year, a full year, since we last had contact. Any relationship would suffer if kept apart for so long. And it's my fault. I'm sorry!

Like the prodigal son, I'm back. Many may despise my return, but will just have to live with it. I was born to write! I was born to entertain! So, I must do this. Express myself in the way I know how to.




                                 
Sometimes, we lose focus! Sometimes, we stop paying attention to what truly matters, while fatiguing our muscles to bolster another's power. It's the way of life. But, we always should remember our own. We always have to remember ourselves, because once push comes to shove, and it's between you and the man sitting on the chair, he wouldn't play Jesus, and sacrifice himself for you.

I was at the Future Awards Africa on Sunday, and witnessed young men, a number of them that would refer to me as a bros, step up on stage to receive prizes for their massive contributions to the development of Africa. I felt ashamed of myself. What have I been doing? Yes, I have passions and desires, but have I ever really pushed for them? Have I really dedicated my time and will power to becoming the man that I dreamed of becoming as a kid? Have I become a slave to my own procrastination? Time waits for no man and we only live once. I know that I will not become the dream if I don't dare to take myself to it, so why does the blood rushing through my veins flow at top speed, whenever I get to that junction? Fear?

The Bible tells us to Fear Not! How I wish that fear was that easy to overcome. But, it isn't. Sometimes we need to be pushed towards the lion to find out that it is indeed just a statue. Things look much more difficult from afar, and I pray that God will always give me, and you, the courage and intellect to take the right first step.

.....

Did I wander off? lol! Great thing is that I'm back now, and I'll be doing much more personal stuff with you.

At least, before this pain in my heart takes me, make I first speak my mind

FIVE THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN IF DAVIDO AND CHIOMA REALLY DO BREAK UP

Image
A few days ago, there were reports in the media that Davido and Chioma had ended things between them. The reports turned out to be false, with the OBO even threatening to sue the tabloid, before posting several videos of he and his "bae" chilling and having a swell time.  The report may have been false, but it had me wondering what repercussions the breakup of the music industry ’s most loved couple of 2018 would bring. I truly hope that it never happens, but if it eventually does, here are five things that I expect to happen afterwards. 1)  THE WORLD WILL STOP - Well not literally, but the world of many of Davido and Chioma ’s fans would come to a halt, because they’ve grown to be so emotionally invested into the couple. We’ve all hoped Chioma to be Davido’s final bus stop, and an end to their relationship would crush many fans, me included, who live for their adorable moments. 2)  DAVIDO WOULD LOSE A FEW FANS - If Davido does b...

BURNA BOY HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT IN 2018

Image
Burna Boy ’s 2018 has been super outstanding and so I just have to celebrate him.  After ending 2017 on a somewhat sore note, he kicked off 2018 proper with the video for the absolutely awesome Heaven’s Gate featuring Lily Allen. He threw a private listening party in Lagos for his third studio album, OUTSIDE, released through Atlantic records, and days later, hosted an album release party at the curtain hill, London, with an array of stars in attendance including Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Mr Eazi, JHus and Mabel. The album, by the way, debuted on Billboard’s reggae albums chart at the number 3 spot. In the following months Burna Boy released videos for 2 singles off the OUTSIDE album, Devil in California and Ye, embarking on a Life On The Music United States tour and signing a publishing deal with Universal Music publishing deal between the two release dates. In 2018, he’s featured on music released by other top artistes, working on Sunshine R...

2BABA'S BUCKWYLD ‘n’ BREATHLESS #POWEROF1 WAS A MIND-BLOWING EXPERIENCE.

Image
The producers of Buckwyld 'n' Breathless once again delivered on their promise, as concert goers who thronged Eko Hotel on October 20 for the much-hyped #Powerof1 concert got a satisfying fix of entertainment and fun, with an ample dose of pro-Naija inspiration, to boot. Lead headliner 2Baba, at his most imperious in recent times, left the audience in raptures as he delivered a 3-part set that reaffirmed his status as Africa's leading artiste of this generation. Sandwiched between an enthralling "Power of 1" narrative brought to life by sizzling performance interpretation by Efe Money, DNMT, Andre Blaze, Timi Dakolo, African China, Sound Sultan, LeJit (Alexx Ekubo), Phyno, Falz and Bright Chimezie, 2Baba gave the audience a show to remember and a reason to believe and hop on the #PowerOf1 social movement train.  2Baba's opening with the performance of "4 Instance Again" a single from the "Power...
