"I'm not interested in marriage'- Seun Kuti

The Afrobeat prince who recently turned 30 told an Encomium mag reporter that he 'doesn't do marriage' when asked when he plans to get married...

"No, I don't do marriage. Anything that I stand the risk of potentially losing half of my earnings is not something I look forward to. Anything that has the potential of that for any reason whatsoever, I try not to indulge.

'How Don Jazzy changed my life' - T.O.C


Below is a mail I got from 19 year old Tochi Oyeoku

My name is Tochy Oyeoku (TOC). am an upcoming singer student in Bells University. When I left my house for EME album launch party at club deuces couple of months back, I didn't know I was going to meet my break through. I met Don Jazzy and we spoke for a bit and he asked me to give him a call so we can continue our discussion some other time. His private number was like a huge asset for me, I crammed it immediately and saved it on my two phones, I kept on calling and sending text messages, so sad no one was picking, no text was replied either. At a stage I lost all hope and continued my Under G striving.
One blessed day I was about to doze off when my phone started vibrating. I almost ignored the call to get back to whoever it is when I wake up, looking on my phone screen I saw "don jazzy" you needed to have seen how I sat up at once, the sleep flew away like a bird that escaped from her cage. I booked an appointment and went to his house.

What a wonderful mansion? I said as I stepped into his compound. He asked me to play my works, afterwards he complained I sound like Wizkid and Dammykrane which isn't far from what  Dr. Sid, Wande and DPrince who he said I have soo much resemblance with are doing. I pleaded to him to give me just 30 seconds to freestyle there and then in his studio, I guess he saw the zeal and desperateness in me "T.O.C am going to give you an amount of money to work with big producers in the industry" like Sarz, Samklef and J-sleek, for the past 5years I haven't been that happy. I didn't know how to start expressing my feelings, should I kneel down or lie down. The joy was just too overwhelming. I kept on saying thank you sir! I quickly dropped my account number for him. The next morning. I received an alert from Mavin Records! (don't worry about the amount ;) What more can I say? Don jazzy is a blessing am forever grateful

Now I have songs produced by Sarz, Samklef, and some other bad ass producers, one of them just dropped today produced  by Samklef.

Don Saint says:
“80 % of the youths from age bracket of 10- 45 do masturbate and this they see as normal. But when I did my research I found out that Masturbation is very dangerous to our health, especially to boys as they grow into Men. So I took up the course to let the people know about the harmful effects of masturbation and how one can be free from the addiction.”

He also added:
“Once you finish reading the book, you will never go back to the act again, unless you want to destroy your life and future. The book analyses the term Masturbation, the causes, the harmful effects and how one can be free from Masturbation addiction.
