After his first ‘Na Ba Ka’ debut album in 2004, the name Jeremiah Gyang instantly became an household brand as the title track turned to the favourites of OAPs and was jammed consistently on early morning TV and radio shows in Lagos. he plan to drop his album soon.

Wishing Nigeria's singer/producer quick recovery

We wish Terry G quick recovery. The singer-producer had a fatal accident on his way home,  on September 4 at about 3am, after hanging out with friends in Ikeja, Lagos, when he ran into the road demarcation around Chemiron, close to Sunday Market, in Ogba.  One of the messages sent to my facebook mail by 411 entertainment reported that Terry G had been discharged and flee abroad for further treatment.

  Contrary to earlier reports that Dancehall act, Gabriel Oche Amanyi a.k.a Terry G may be flown abroad for further treatment as a result of complications arising from his near-fatal auto crash which occurred in
the early hours of Saturday morning the 5th of September; we can
authoritatively reveal that the musician was allowed to go home to
further recuperate at about 4:00pm on Wednesday the 8th of September.

His parents especially his dotting mother was always by his side
saying prayers while he was still in coma and she now seems relieved
that her son is gradually regaining his health.

The other members of the House Ginjah crew such as IQ and Rakwell are
also recuperating really fast after sustaining minor bruises. Speaking
immediately after being discharged from hospital, the hot-blooded and
high-in-demand producer who could hardly utter words thanked all those
who sought about his welfare while he was still in the hospital.

‘‘As you can see, I am getting better and I hope to be back on my feet
soon. I want to thank all my fans and well wishers for their concern.
Their love and care is even making me stronger. Thank God I am alive
and getting better.’’ He muttered.

Terry G who was behind the wheels rammed his dark army green Toyota
Camry car into a slab some few meters away from Chemiron
Pharmaceuticals on Metalbox road, off WEMCO road in Ogba, Ikeja at
about 3:00 am leaving himself badly hurt while the other occupants
(his group members) Banton, IQ and Rakwell sustained minor cuts and
bruises.

PechaKucha (which is Japanese means chit-chat) has spread virally to over 200 cities across the world. Lagos Vol 1 was a success with talented creatives such as photographer Tunde Kuboye, architects Papa Omotayo, James George, landscape artist Jite Brume, artists Richardson and Emeka Ogboh and fashion stylist Biki John and designer Gozi to name a few.

Sesame Street back in Nigeria, tweaked to make it more relevant to Nigeria's children

It looks a lot like “Sesame Street,” only that’s no Cookie Monster
“What is so exciting about yams? Everything!” Zobi, a taxi-driving Muppet, shouts in a Nigerian lilt to anyone who will listen. “I can fry the yam. I can toast it. I can boil it. I love yams!”
“Sesame Street,” once a mainstay for a generation of Nigerian children who grew up with the U.S. show on Nigeria’s state-run TV network, will return to Africa’s most populous nation this fall, funded by American taxpayers but distinctively Nigerian.
Produced and voiced by Nigerians in formal — if squeaky — English, the show aims to educate a country where almost half of the 150 million population is 14 or younger. Its focuses on the challenges faced by children in a country where many have to work instead of going to school: AIDS, malaria nets, gender equality — and yams, a staple of Nigerian meals.
“Nigeria is diverse; we have 250 different ethnic groups, so many different languages. We don’t have the same customs; we do think differently,” executive producer Yemisi Ilo said. But “children are children. All children love songs, and all children love furry, Muppety animal-type things.”
Renamed “Sesame Square,” the show will air 26 episodes in the first of its scheduled three seasons, with one show for each letter of the alphabet.
