What are your core values?

My core values are commitment and integrity.

Tell us about growing up

Mehn! It wasn't easy but all thanks to God who turned around my life. The challenges I face made me hold on and never gave up. A speaker once said, ".This got things ringing in my head as the day went by, I knew I had to win all life challenges in order to be who I wanted to be.

What inspires you

Basically I'd say my inspiration comes as a result of when I look into the world and see that the Music world hasn't given enough of what their audiences need. I need to contribute my own experience to experience and show my light on how my style and songs should be assuring the world things would be for the better.

Tell us about your anticipated play tracks

About my anticipated play tracks, I have a couple of tracks which would be coming up soon. First is the one titled "NEED" featuring the German Juice Lady and Queen of Modern Reggae, Cynthia Morgan. Second, which is just a single track titled "LIFE".

Both songs are as a result of my life experiences, wanting to let people know about their lifestyle and what they can do to keep good life and smile always.

You said you're featuring Cynthia Morgan, why?

It's just Cynthia Morgan, the one who can murder every beat by just listening to it and I considered working with her cause I want to combine R&B with reggae.

How do you intend to impact lives with your tracks?

That's a great thing every musician would love to say if not all entertainers. I want my music to impact lives positively through my style of music and lyrics.

What are your projections for the future

It's of many factors, I want to keep doing my music until everybody out there knows me for my music. I also want my albums to be the best, go on better tours, more singles and feature both local and international acts.

Parting words for your target audience and who are they

Everyone should be my audience, everyone who loves good music, those who understand there's no shortcut to glory. Stay positive and pray for me, support me, your support would push me to the big stage, where I'd be called upon for nominations.

UNILAG STUDENTS TO BE PUNISHED BY AUTHORITY

The management at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has reportedly put a panel in place to punish students who participated in the recent campus protest.

The Senate Disciplinary Panel, according to information gathered, has sent out invitation to students to attend the panel with plans to punish them for their action.

The students staged the protest in April, in an effort to call the school management's attention to the deplorable living condition and lack of amenities on campus.

The management has already suspended the University of Lagos Students’ Union following the protest. It ejected members of the union from their campus accommodation once the school reopened after the protest.

In response to their action, the university authorities attributed the students’ demonstration to exuberance and accused the Students’ Union leadership of lacking integrity.

Every member of the suspended Students' Union has been invited to the panel.

Information obtained points that the move is part of a plot to distract the students from launching a fresh protest for the restoration of the suspended union.

The source added that the students have launched a social media campaign for the restoration of the University of Lagos Students Union (ULSU) under a hashtag #RestoreULSU. This, he added, has caused the authorities huge embarrassment, forcing them into a crackdown on students leading the agitation.

MEET ONE OF UNILAG'S BEST DANCE CREW

Dance is an art, it's a sequence of rhythmic steps or movements usually performed to music, for pleasure or as a form of social interaction. Dance is performed by almost everyone, no matter how little you turn your body to a beat, you are preforming dance. Dance comes in different forms according to different music types such as The popular Breakdance, B-Boy, Hip hop, Salsa, Balet and other locally oriented dances.

In Unilag there are many Dance Crews which contains pretty good dancers, among which I present to you one of the Best of them all, 'The Charachoros Dance Company'.

An interview with one of it's members reveals what the Dance Crew is all about.

What's Charachoros Dance Crew all about?

Charachoros means Joy of Dance in Greek. It's a brand that represents a team of young professionals in Dance and Entertainment. Charachoros began as a group of dancers but has enlarged over three years to accommodate not just dancers but models, photographers, fashion and graphic designers. It has become a platform on which anyone talented or creative can build themselves or also to realize their true potential being part of the team.

When did Charachoros start?

Charachoros started June 2012 and was founded by Jesse Akinwande a graduate of the University of Lagos, department of Physics/Education. I started dancing at a very young age more as a hobby but got serious as people around me saw it as a talent as i grew up.

Got engaged with a lot of dance groups as time went on, from my high school dance group to Soul Quest in Unilag, but still I was looking for something much different, a chance to fully express and showcase my love and joy for dance through freestyle.
So I became a solo dancer and later won the Amstel Malta Showtime Competition, Lagos in 2011. Then I thought of reaching out to people with similar minds and style, so I started Charachoros.

Who is the Leader?

Charachoros is headed and led by the CEO and Founder, Jesse Akinwande

How do you see the achievements your dance crew has achieved?

One of our greatest achievements is evolving over the years from a dance crew into a Company. Charachoros Dance Company manages the crew and uses dance and entertainment as business tools to achieving company goals and project objectives. Charachoros has also established its brand of dance classes/workshops and has recorded an average turnout of over 100 dance students in unilag. We intend taking it to all other university/colleges nationwide. It aims to reach out to all student dancers to help improve and inspire joy for dance in everyone.

Where do you see your crew in the nearest future?

Paving the way for the new generation of modern dancers. Building the dance industry and becoming established as a network of successful and influential individuals of diverse careers and walk of life but having one thing in common, 'The Joy and Love for Dance'.

What have you to say to other dancers out there?

There is no shortcut to stardom, there is no onetime opportunity that'll set you up forever, you have to be consistent and constantly doing something creative to stay relevant.
A saying goes, 'If you want to go FAST go alone, if you want to go FAR go with your team'. Therefore I say go with both, work hard to become the best at what you do then network with others sharing  similar dream/vision as yours. You'll Go Fast and also go Far.
Above all, ask God for Wisdom and Direction in everything you do.

Charachoros currently recruit dancers for their dance classes. Registration for dance classes is simple.

They were supposed to be given a sum of #80,000 each as a reward for attending the overnight party, or what some people call 'Thanks for coming reward package'.
