Shockwaves are reverberating across Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá diaspora following the sudden death of the Baba Ọba (King’s Father) of the famed Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, USA. The late Baba Ọba, Lukman Arohunfale, a revered socialite and traditionalist, passed away under circumstances already sparking fierce controversy. His death comes just days after he publicly accused the newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Akeem Adéyẹmọ Owoade, of allegedly ordering his courtiers to beat him mercilessly during a recent courtesy visit to the Oyo palace in Nigeria. In a widely circulated voice recording, the deceased recounted how what was meant to be a simple homage turned violent. Although the Baba Ọba had reportedly battled ill health in the past year, growing insinuations suggest that the alleged physical assault may have aggravated his condition, ultimately leading to his untimely death.

A unique music reality TV show is set to reward true talents in Nigeria – It is expected to hold in March and is brought by Fixit Entertainment A new music talent show aimed at changing the face of music in Nigeria is set to hit the screens sometime in March 2016. It is titled Naija Hall of Fame Africa (NHFA) and brought to you by Fixit Entertainment. Singer talks about his first love and more One of the reasons for the music reality TV show is to provide a platform for young, aspiring entertainers to harness their potentials. In the light of this, some players in the music industry have come together to create the new and exciting music competition/ reality TV show titled the Naija Hall Of Fame Africa. The show promises a blend of entertainment and creativity while providing fresh music concepts, contents, and street sense flavoured with style, dance steps, beats and a lot more. The idea behind this is to discover and develop new African talents. According to the organizers, talent alone is not enough to achieve the heights of success. But it is expected that with proper grooming and priming, even the tiniest of potentials can be turned into a goldmine. And this is one of the few reasons why Fixit Entertainment in conjunction with other supporting organizations has created the new and exciting NHFA. Also, the show has been created to fill the gaps within the music industry by creating an avenue where all genres are acceptable and all styles of music are allowed to be expressed. The NHFA intends to impact not only the Nigerian music industry but also the African and global music industries as well. A lot of other talent shows focus on just one type of music and talent, often failing to look out for the right things when deciding who should be positioned as winner and so the seemingly most talented end up not winning in many cases. Also when the winners emerge, the ways their talents are managed and developed do not allow for the journey towards the fulfillment of their true potentials. To this end, the NHFA is channeling the expertise and support of distinguished consultants in the music industry who have the capability to fish out the untapped potentials of talented musicians, helping them stand a chance in the present day music industry with proper exposure and ultimate financial benefits.
