Arrangements have been concluded by Goldberg, a lager beer brand from the stable of Nigerian Breweries Plc, to put the Fuji music on the global map again as the fourth edition of the Fuji music fanfare (a Fuji talent hunt show) begins. An indigenous music platform of Goldberg, Fuji Sowapo has in the last three editions led to the discovery of budding Fuji talents.

The auditions for this year’s edition of the annual activation, which would hold in eight cities, will kick off in Ota, Ogun State on Wednesday. Apart from Ota, other cities where auditions would be held are: Ikotun-Egbeda, Oyo, Ilesha, Akure, Ado-Ekiti, Sagamu, and Ibadan. Identified talents from the auditions will later converge in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital for the final selection of contestants that will proceed to the quarter final in Oyo, Oyo State.

Speaking in an interview in Lagos, Mr. Emmanuel Agu, Marketing Manager, Portfolio Manager, Mainstream lager and Stout, said notable Yoruba actors like Abass Akande Obesere, Sulaimon Adekunle Alao (a.k.a. Malaika), Otunba Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM1), Dr. Wasiu Osupa, and DammyKrane will grace the competition at different stages.

He disclosed that Malaika; Yemi Sodimu, popular presenter and Actor; and Moruf Shadow, National President, Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria (FUMAN); will serve as Panelists for the Auditions that would hold in Oyo, Ikotun-Egbeda, Ibadan and Ota. For the remaining Auditions slated for Akure, Ado Ekiti and Ilesha, Agu said Dotun Taylor, Filmmaker will join the duo of Malaika and Shadow.

He explained that the music genre has huge followership especially in the south Western part of Nigeria; thereby providing a credible platform for Goldberg to connect and engage its numerous customers.

On the modalities for participation, he said interested budding talents are expected to participate in audition at centers closest to them. Contestants will have about five minutes each on stage to impress the judges at the auditions in order to get into the contest proper.
It would be recalled that Antenna and Twinzobia Twins, the winners of the first and second editions from Oshogbo and Ibadan respectively, are now doing well in their Fuji careers. Akeem Okiki from Osogbo, Osun State emerged winner of the third edition of the Fuji music talent activation that had over ten thousand Fuji fans in attendance at the Trans Amusement park in Ibadan, Oyo State. “We encourage youths with talent in Fuji to seize this rare opportunity that comes once a year to proof their talents.” Agu added.

Join the Movement to Build a Culture of Proper Waste Segregation and Disposal in Lagos. 

 

As part of its efforts to promote a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment, The Architects Place Ltd In conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has launched an initiative to provide proper waste disposal bins across the state.

 

The initiative, which is aimed at building a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal, is designed to encourage residents, businesses, and institutions to properly dispose their waste and recyclables.

The proper waste disposal bins, which are designed to accommodate different types of waste, including recyclables, organics, and non-recyclable waste, will be strategically located in public spaces, markets, and other high-traffic areas.

 

This will help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and waterways, improving environmental health and reducing the risk of disease. By providing separate bins for recyclables, the initiative will encourage residents and businesses to recycle more, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

 

We urge all residents, businesses, and institutions in Lagos to join us in this effort to build a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal. Together, we can make a difference and create a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for all.

 

For more information on the proper waste disposal bin initiative, please contact:

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama has rejected the bail request by former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.

 

Bello is standing trial, along with two others, on an alleged N110bn money laundering charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

 

Justice Maryanne Anenih, in a ruling on Tuesday, faulted the competence of Bello’s bail application, stating that it was filed prematurely.

 

Justice Anenih held that, since the application was made when Bello was neither in custody nor before the court, it was deemed incompetent.

 

She said: “Consequently, the instant application, having been filed prematurely, is hereby refused.”
