Iyanya celebrated his birthday on Halloween, making a major announcement to move into the American RnB market next year while making his new album available for sale in the US.Atlanta, GA, United States of America - November 9, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ -- Halloween is one of the most popular holidays in the world, but for one music star it is even more special: it is his birthday. Nigerian singing sensation Iyanya recently celebrated his birthday on Halloween, and used the occasion to make known his intentions to conquer the American market. The singer and record label owner is planning a major transition to America early next year, and has made his new album Applaudise available to download in the US. His album Applaudise was released September 19th, 2015, and has seen huge sales in his home country of Nigeria and throughout the whole of Africa, attracting the attention of the international music market. After talks with American producers and promoters, hopes are high for Iyanya to take the US by storm next year. Already Applaudise is receiving plaudits from critics and fans alike, with the Singer and Songwriter creating some of his most ambitious, bombastic hits while also showing a new sensitivity and soulfulness which makes him ideal for the American market, with themes and lyrics drawn from his own unique experiences. A spokesperson for Iyanya explained, "Inspired by Craig David and R Kelly, Iyanya went on to win Project Fame and has since matured into a powerful artist in his own right, getting more personal and profound in his themes as well as sharpening his business acumen and setting his sights on much bigger goals. This latest announcement is huge, but it has come at the right time for him. He has already achieved so much in Nigeria and wider Africa- it is time for his talent to be discovered by the world, and the US is the place where he can make that happen." About Iyanya: Iyanya is a Nigerian recording artist, singer, songwriter and performer. After winning the 2008 MTN Project Fame West Africa, he released hit song Kukere and co-founded Made Men Music Group, a record label home to artists such as Emma Nyra, Tekno, Selebobo and Baci. Iyanya sings in English and Efik, won the Artist of the Year award at The Headies 2013, and his latest album Applaudise is currently on iTunes.

  • Foregrounding Female Agency in the Dance Culture of Nigeria
    WHAT I DO WHEN I DANCE: FOREGROUNDING FEMALE AGENCY IN THE DANCE CULTURE OF NIGERIA Oladoyin Abiona A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2021 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Jeremy Wallach Rahdika Gajjala © 2021 Oladoyin Abiona All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor Scholarship on female representations in hip hop has been predominantly premised on the sexualization of the female body. By focusing mainly on this singular aspect of the genre, we reduce the whole essence of womanhood in the industry to such interpretations. The limited scope of such discussions deprives the women of opportunities to tell their own stories of what they do when they dance. Seeing the cultural significance of dance as a form of popular culture in the Nigerian context, this essay, from a feminist perspective, closes this gap by engaging in a qualitative exploration of the lives of three female dancers in Nigeria telling their stories through dance. They are Kaffayat Oluwatoyin Shafau (Kaffy), Odumewu Debbie (Debbiepinkie), and Usiwo Orezinena Jane (Janemena). Exploring their social media archives, interviews granted to TV stations and a published autobiography “Alajoota” by Kaffy, this essay contextualizes and complicates the interpretations of sexualization in the Nigerian hip hop dance industry. Through dance Nigerian women performers are able to negotiate the heavily male-dominated hip hop scene. For them, dance is a coping strategy, a profession, a space for redefining self and embracing sexuality and femininity, and a form of youthful identity and inclusion.

  • Tekno 2019 Biography: the Amazingly Talented Tekno Is a Visionary African Artist Who Has Won and Been Nominated for Several Awards
    PRESSKITTekno 2019 Biography: The amazingly talented Tekno is a visionary African artist who has won and been nominated for several awards. He is known by many names - Kelechukwu Augustine, Augustine Miles Kelechi, Tekno, Tekno Miles, and The Golden Boy Of Africa. He is from the Ivo Local Government Area, Ebonyi State. He was born in Bauchi State into a family of five boys and one girl. He was raised in several parts of the country including Nassarawa, Kaduna and Abuja, due to the fact that his father was a member of the Nigerian Army. At the age of 8, Tekno was enrolled in a music school where he learned and mastered the rudiments of playing the piano and guitar. He is the elder brother to "Starboy" label act Spotless. Tekno was first signed under K-Money Entertainment. His first single titled "Holiday" was released under the imprint. With featured vocals from Davido, "Holiday" was positively accepted and gained massive airplay. In 2012, while in Abuja, Tekno was spotted by renowned Nigerian comedian Julius Agwu at an event, after Tekno had received a standing ovation following the performance of a song titled "Onye Ne Kwu", his remix of Ice Prince's "Oleku". It was at that same event that he met Iyanya and Ubi Franklyn, the manager of Made Men Music Group. Ubi and Iyanya eventually encouraged Tekno to move to Lagos to further his music career. On October 5, 2013, he signed a recording contract with Made Men Music Group, under which he released singles like "Dance" and "Anything", which won him a nomination in the "Best New Act Of The Year" category at the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment Awards.

  • The Contributory Role of Music Artist: an X-Ray of Major Satiric Preoccupations in Some Selected Contemporary Nigerian Hip-Hop Music Artist
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 4, Ver. III (Apr. 2015), PP 05-09 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Contributory Role of Music Artist: An X-ray of Major Satiric Preoccupations in Some Selected Contemporary Nigerian Hip-Hop Music Artist Maikano A. Lamela Department Of English, Gombe State University, Gombe, Nigeria Abstract:“If music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it; that surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die”. This was Williams Shakespeare’s exact words in his absolute recognition to the importance of music to humanity. Similarly, every era in time is accompanied by music of its time, almost like an imprint that reflects a cultural reality always striving for aesthetics. Music is truly a narrator of what human beings have gone through and are still evolving to become. We would imagine that, without music, the human life span will be shortened because without music, our ability to emotionally express will be limited and that would be directly linked to our mental and physical health. Music is an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through, the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. We all have in one way or the other have listen to music in respective of the genre and perhaps some are addicted to music. Therefore, in appreciation to the role music have been playing in our lives that I seek to lend a telescopic in-depth diggingand exposition of the major satiric preoccupations found in the lyrics of our major contemporary Nigerian hip-hop artist.

  • Consumers' Perception of the Use of Celebrities in Advertising by Mtn Nigeria: a Study of University of Nigeria Nsukka Undergraduate Students
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH CULTURE SOCIETY ISSN: 2456-6683 Volume - 1, Issue - 5, July - 2017 CONSUMERS' PERCEPTION OF THE USE OF CELEBRITIES IN ADVERTISING BY MTN NIGERIA: A STUDY OF UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA NSUKKA UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS Okoye, Godwin.1, Nwogbo, Victor.2, Ugwuanyi, Felix.3 , Okafor, Tochukwu.4 1 Department of Mass Communication, Caritas University, Enugu, Nigeria. 2 Ph.D Student, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. 3 Department of Mass Communication, Caritas University, Enugu, Nigeria. 4 Ph.D Student, Enugu State University of Science and Technology. Email - [email protected] Abstract: Celebrity endorsement is one of the advertising techniques companies use to create awareness and gain favourable responses about their products and services. This expectation may not be often realised as negative image about a celebrity endorser, incongruity of a celebrity endorser with the product being endorsed are all capable of inducing bad responses towards the product rather than the other way round. This study therefore examined the influence of use of celebrities in MTN Nigeria advertisements on University of Nigeria Nsukka undergraduate students. Survey method was adopted and questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. Findings of the research among others revealed that celebrity endorsed advert has a significant influence on customers’ purchase intention. This study however, recommends that, care must be taken to scrutinize a celebrity’s lifestyle and the person’s present social acceptance before endorsement so as to avoid any negative image that could have negative effect on the product. Also, companies should ensure that their products are of high quality before asking celebrities to endorse their products.

  • Personality Merchandising in Nigeria: Prospects and Challenges
    Journal of Law, Policy and Globalization www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3240 (Paper) ISSN 2224-3259 (Online) Vol.55, 2016 Personality Merchandising in Nigeria: Prospects and Challenges Dorcas A. Odunaike LL.B, LL.M, B.L, M.Phil, Ph.D Senior Lecturer, Department of Private and Commercial Law, Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria Abstract Personality merchandising is an emerging area of advertisement in Nigeria with legal connotations. The endorsement of a product or service by a well known personality has superior commercial advantage which has been offered legal protection internationally and in developed countries. The aim of this paper is to examine the legal protection of personality merchandising in Nigeria especially as it relates to personality right and to identify the challenges posed by endorsement of a product by a celebrity with the view of proffering recommendations that will enhance publicity values attached to celebrity personae. Keywords: merchandising, celebrity, publicity, privacy, personality. 1. Introduction Until recently Funke Akindele a.k.a Jenifa 1 endorse products and services simply as Funke Akindele. With the making of Jenifa film she assumes the character and name of Jenifa when endorsing products/services. Although it’s the person known as Funke Akindele that assumes the role of Jenifa, they are not one and the same personality. Jenifa is a character distinct from Funke Akindele as an actress. To permit every actress to assume the character of Jenifa at will without the permission of the creator of that character is to allow others to reap where they did not sow 2, this is personality right in action.
