Nigerian rapper, CDQ has made a very interesting statement about late Dagrin’s impact on the Nigerian Hip Hop music scene.
CDQ made this known while speaking on the first episode of Henessy’s Hip-Hop Docu-series, “The Conversation”.
The rapper alongside Vector, M.I Abaga, DJ Jimmy Jatt gave their respective opinions on the evolution of Hip Hop in Nigeria.
According to him, since Dagrin’s untimely death, Hip Hop suffered a major decline even till now. He further buttressed his point saying the rapper was the only artiste in his own opinion that stayed true to the genre.
He died on April 22, 2010. He was just 22 years old, but his unique style of rap music was already very popular.
In the early hours of April 14, 2010 Dagrin had been involved in a lone accident, colliding with a stationary articulated vehicle in front of Alakara Police Station, off Agege Motor Road, Mushin, Lagos.
Before he gave up the ghost, he had first been treated at Tai Solarin Hospital, Mushin but was later transferred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba, where doctors declared him dead after efforts to save his life failed.
Though he lived a short life, his style of indigenous rap is still influencing the Nigerian music scene. Artistes like Olamide, lil Kesh, Phyno, Reminisce and many others are some of the best examples of Dagrin’s influence on the Nigerian music scene.

“One day, I visited one of my closest friends called General Adisa who was the minister of works at the time. I, then, saw a big poster behind him with the words Banana Island. I asked him about it and he said that they were looking for a partner to do the work and then sell the land together.

Billionaire and Microsoft CEO and founder, Bill Gates has lost his father, William Gates Sr, who died at the age of 94.
The elder Gates died peacefully at home, surrounded by his family, his son said as he expressed how lucky he and his sisters Kristianna and Libby are to have been raised by their father.
According to Bill Gates, his dad made him give a $100 million contribution to research for Alzheimer’s disease, after he revealed his father suffered from it in 2018.
He also revealed his dad’s support inspired him to leave Harvard University to co-found a company with Paul Allen in 1975.
Late Tuesday night, Bill penned an emotional tribute to his late father on his personal blog, saying: “I will miss my dad every day.”
“We will miss him more than we can express right now. We are feeling grief but also gratitude.”
“My dad’s passing was not unexpected he was 94 years old and his health had been declining, so we have all had a long time to reflect on just how lucky we are to have had this amazing man in our lives for so many years.
“My dad’s wisdom, generosity, empathy, and humility had a huge influence on people around the world.”
“I knew their love and support were unconditional, even when we clashed in my teenage years. I am sure that’s one of the reasons why I felt comfortable taking some big risks when I was young, like leaving college to start Microsoft with Paul Allen,” he said.
“We worked together at the foundation not so much as father and son but as friends and colleagues,” he said.
“When we started doing so in a big way at the foundation, we had no idea how much fun we would have. We only grew closer during more than two decades of working together.”
“When I am at my best, I know it is because of what I learned from my dad about respecting women, honoring individuality, and guiding children’s choices with love and respect,” Gates said.
“The experience of being the son of Bill Gates was incredible. People used to ask my dad if he was the real Bill Gates. The truth is, he was everything I try to be.” the Microsoft CEO wrote on Gates Notes.

My dear Royal Army, I’m still overwhelmed and trying to soak in all the love you have been showing me. I’m sincerely speechless because I never expected the love I’m receiving.
This GoFundMe account was brought to my attention last night and I almost teared up by the mere thought and intentions behind it.
We are experiencing difficult times now and people still want to do this for me?
Nah, I think it’s time you all rest while I think of what to do to pay you all back for the surreal love.
I sincerely appreciate this gesture, but I want my Royal Army to save their funds on this one.
My dream of starting a salon will surely come to pass ASAP, as I already have some Investors and hopefully some brands interested in this dream.
I want to make you all proud and all I need right now is the continuous love, spiritual and moral support you all have been excessively showing me.
Thank you to my beautiful and wonderful Royal Army @flyest_mz and @_Super_jewel for trying to put the GoFund together. Love you guys so much.
My media rounds is still ongoing but I can’t wait to interact with everyone of you on a personal level soon on my IG live.

A motorcyclist “okada man” in the Oghara area of Delta state returned a bag containing N700,000 belonging to a woman he’d carried to the market.
According to a Facebook user who narrated the incident, the okada man noticed that the woman dropped something when she was entering the market.
As a morally upright man, he picked up the bag and searched for the lady in the market, who in the meanwhile, was already looking for the bag.
Oghara Voice wrote:

Kudos to the bike man
A businesswoman also showered praises on him saying;
“He has a heart of gold to have left his bike to go look for the woman and return back her money. At a time many of us will say God has answered my prayers, an ordinary okada man returned such a huge sum to the owner, may God reward him”, the trader said emotionally.
It’s indeed a moment of pride and joy for the family of a Nigerian lady who just graduated from law school.
The lady has melted hearts on social media after sharing two pictures of herself and her father who is also a lawyer.
The lady shared two photos, one picture showing when she was a little girl and another where she’s fully grown. In the first frame, the lady sat beside her father in a library probably learning from her dad’s book.
The second picture was also taken in a library, but this time around both father and daughter were in their professional LAWYER’S regalia.
Sharing the photos, she noted she’d always been ”Daddy’s little girl.”
During an interview on Beat FM on Tuesday, Kiddwaya said he was having a conversation with Ozo about his relationship with Nengi and it looked like Ozo was just looking at the man he wanted to be.
He said, “he was looking at the man he wants to be. No disrespect to him”.
Kiddwaya had a command over some female housemates in the house, as he had Erica and Wathoni visibly drooling over him. He even had a relationship in which he enjoyed all the benefits and additional tax.
Ozo lacked this craftmanship and had a tough time securing just one lady in the big brother house. Hence, Kiddwaya’s statement is not far from the truth.
His statement caught the host of the show, Osi Suave off guard as he shouted, “shots fired!”.
Kiddwaya further expressed his high self-esteem and said he wasn’t threatened by any one in the house as none of the housemates were a match for him.
“I am my own man and I am comfortable in my skin.
“I don’t fear anybody. Nobody in the house was up to my level, so I wasn’t threatened by anyone” he said

So as to not force something they both do not want, they decided to end things. Read Sylvia’s post below,
MY DEAREST CHIVIANS ?
When I look back at how far I have come, I see millions of reasons to be grateful to God.
Going into the lovepad was of a good intention. I might not have loved initially but I am saying it that I fell IN LOVE in the lovepad.
Every kiss, hug, romance, love talk, cuddle, peck, and act was ? REAL. It’s no news we had one of the best relationship in the lovepad.
A lot of things has been said these past days about our break up which has really been troubling, devastating and ??? depressing but with God’s grace and the support of my die hard fans, I will get over this STORM. ?
Subjecting our relationship to realities of real life situation outside the lovepad proved a mismatch. We had to be realistic when we look at our potential future together.
On the strength of this reality we both decided to go our separate ways, as we don’t want to force this relationship.
I want y’all to understand and accept our decision as we mutually agreed to path ways.
It has been an amazing and incredible journey.
We wish only the best for each other as we venture towards new horizons.
I know we have hurt a lot of our fans for taking this decision and I will forever appreciate the love, support, gifts, prayers, infact everything you’ve done to put a smile on our faces.
For my friends, supporters and well-wishers……I LOVE YOU and for those that have been disappointed by my actions….i still APPRECIATE and LOVE YOU.
Thanks for all the love and support you’ve shown us.
God bless you ?❤
Nigerian Internet sensation Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, has described his return to his country, Nigeria as a disaster.
In a post he shared via his Instagram, Mompha who has an ongoing court case centered on money laundering expressed hope of all his challenges becoming a thing of the past.
Sharing a picture of himself, he wrote,
“2 years ago when you don’t knw coming to ur country will be a disaster. Surely it will all come to past”
Recall that, last month, Mompha was released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), two weeks after he was re-arrested by the anti-graft agency in Lagos.
Mompha
Mompha was on Friday, August 14th, rearrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged money laundering, when he went to the EFCC office in Ikoyi, Lagos.
He was at the office to reclaim his five wristwatches, one Apple Air pod, one iPhone 8 mobile phones and one pair of sunglasses seized from him when he was initially arrested in october 2019, by the anti-graft agency.
Following an application by his lawyer, Mr Gboyega Oyewole (SAN), Justice Mohammed Liman on July 24 ordered the EFCC to release the items to Mompha.
The judge ruled since the items were not listed as exhibits in the money laundering charges filed against Mompha, the EFCC had no justification to continue to hold onto them.
Ex-Big Brother Naija housemate, Kiddwaya has revealed that he is “reviewing” his relationship with some housemates now that he is outside the Big Brother house.
The evicted housemate in an interview stated that he is seeing his relationship with some people in different light due to what they said about him as captured in videos he has seen now he is outside the house.
He however expressed that he was a bit disappointed with Laycon after he got out of the house and saw clips of Laycon talking against him.
The interviewer asked him if it was the clip about Laycon saying Kiddwaya will take advantage of Erica because she’s drunk, Kiddwaya said he hasn’t seen that one yet, but he has other clips.
Kidd however stated that he would wait till other housemates leave the house so they can address the issue.
Watch video below,
Recall that, prior to Kidd’s eviction from the house, his Instagram handler in a live chat promised to ensure the billionaire son is never friends with Laycon outside the house.
According to the handler, the only reason why the billionaire is cool with Laycon is that he has not heard what he said behind his back.
She stated that the reason why Kiddwaya is cool with Laycon in the house is because he doesn’t know anything that has been said behind his back by the musician, adding that if Kidd knew the things that Laycon had said behind him, he would never have been cool with him.
In her words,
“The only reason why Kiddwaya is cool with Laycon is that he doesn’t even know anything that Laycon has said about him. If Kiddwaya knew, he would never have been cool with him and I would come into the scene myself. No one has told him so he doesn’t know.”
Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi has given a piece of advise to both straight men and gay men, ensuring to balance the scale.
He took to his twitter account to air his advise. According to him, gay men have the right to express their romantic feelings to any man of their choice, unless the man informs them that he is straight.

He asked them to be civil in turning gay men down just as lesbians are civil in rejecting their advances.
His tweet reads,
“Dear gay men, unless a man tells you he is straight, you have a right to express your feelings towards him.
Dear straight man, when a gay man says he has a feeling for you, be honorable and say “thank you but I am only into girls”.
Just same way lesbians have been nice to you.”
Dear gay men, unless a man tells you he is straight, you have a right to epxress your feelings towards him.
Dear straight man, when a gay man says he has a feeling for you, be honourable and say "thank you but I am only into girls".
