He is another budding artiste but more importantly he is a gifted musician filled with charisma, unusual talent and overall, interminable creativity. You are introduced to the multi-talented and the astounding music sensation NATURALFACE, another discovery from the camp of Bullhaus Entertainment.
NATURALFACE has been around for a while and is certainly an artist with credibility. As an inimitable artiste, versatility is his hallmark and comes across as the ‘hybrid’ sort of artist heavily influenced by Reggae and Dancehall music. His strength lies in his lyrics plus his ability to deliver on the very beats and hooks one wouldn’t consider.
Having grown up in the Bariga suburb of Lagos and a Ghanaian/Nigerian in nationality,NATURALFACE adds a fusion of the Nigerian music rhythm and the Ghanaian alternative melodies to Reggae cum Dancehall tunes to make up for his funky-freaky style of music. His first shot at mainstream music came in 2007 when he featured on the maiden ‘Ur Luv’ album of the dynamic music group 5Five. On the album,
NATURALFACE vindicated himself with an exceptional delivery and proving all skeptics wrong. He won the hearts of many when he featured on a song with Iwan entitled "Still Love Me". This week sees the release of the first single off the long awaited album of NATURALFACE. Titled ‘BodySet’, the single features the GMA winning artiste Trigmatic and chronicles the beauty and pride of the african woman.

8 Reasons To Date An African Man - Published By Adesope
According to Madamenoire.com , below are the 8 reasons why you should consider dating an African man. As an African myself, i have got to say that their findings surely flatters us but makes me feel very proud to be from the motherland in the same breath. So here are the reasons :
1. They Are Chivalrous:
It’s that simple. They have good manners and a strong sense of chivalry – something that is quickly eroding amongst all our home-grown American men. Hey, they come from societies that are not as progressive when it comes to women’s rights but women are more cared for in their countries at the same time. So don’t worry, he’ll for sure be a gentleman and pay for your first date, second date, etc. We know that sounds like common courtesy but these days, it’s no guarantee.
2.They are the cream of the crop :
A big argument many make for immigration is that immigrants are generally adding to American society in a great way. In a sense, the ones who make it here are the ones who are willing to make big sacrifices to gain a chance at prosperity. So if you’re dating someone from Africa, most likely he went through a lot to make it here and that’s a testament to his work ethic and his sense of commitment for paving a better future for himself and his family. Hardworking? Check!
For the other 6 reasons, click http://madamenoire.com/82252/8-reasons-to-date-an-african-man/3/ and make sure you find yourself an African man in double quick time lol.

New Laws Keeping Blacks From the Polls.
Though the days of poll taxes are dead and gone, new legislation around America is set to keep a lot of African-Americans from voting in 2012.
African-Americans have been denied proper voting rights in many ways since the founding of the United States. At first they couldn’t vote at all, and when they finally were given the right to suffrage, things like poll taxes stood in the way of getting to the voting booth the way the disenfranchisement laws once had. When poll taxes didn’t stop Blacks from coming to the polls, occasionally mobs of armed whites would be waiting to beat African-Americans who dared to exercise their voting right. Now, 46 years after the Voting Rights Act outlawed discriminatory practices at the polls, many Blacks are disenfranchised yet again, although some for a less sinister reason than angry mobs — a new study indicates that some Blacks can’t vote simply because they don’t have proper ID.
According to a new report from the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU’s law school, nearly a quarter of African-Americans don’t have photo identifications. That’s compared to about 11 percent of the nation at large. Why that matters when discussing voting is because more and more states are requiring voters to have a photo ID when they vote. With Blacks less likely to have ID, that means people like Dorothy Cooper and others are being disproportionately locked out of the election process.
Other laws stipulating that people will have to show their birth certificate to vote are also distressing voting rights advocates. If this seems like a very reasonable request — why shouldn’t a person have a birth certificate — then consider this, from Slate:
The reason minorities are so much harder hit by these seemingly benign laws has its roots in the tragic legacy of race in this country. They still work because that old Black man, born into Jim Crow in 1940, may have had no birth certificate because he was not born in a hospital because of poverty or discrimination. Names may have been misspelled on African-American birth certificates because illiterate midwives sometimes gave erroneous names.
While seemingly simple to a lot of people, getting proper ID and birth certificates can be extremely difficult for many African-Americans. It only adds insult to injury when those same Blacks are denied their voting rights as well. If these kinds of laws are allowed to stand, it will be a return to the old days of poll taxes and armed voter suppression. The only difference is that the bigots will have turned in their clubs and fists for briefcases and prejudiced legislation.

Exclusive: Kenny Ogungbe, Dayo Adeneye Break Up! …How ID Ogungbe Tore Them Apart ENTERTAINMENT. Published by DjLanre
D1 & Keke
The godfathers of Nigeria’s hip hop music, and popular radio/ television personalities, Kenny Ogungbe and his partner, Dayo Adeneye of Primetime Entertainment have decided to go their separate ways, after over ten years of partnership,yemojanews.com can exclusively reveal.
The duo of Kenny and Dayo with their entertainment outfit revolutionalized the hip hop genre of music in this part or the world through their numerous radio and television programme in the early 1990s. They popularized the first major hip-hop group in Nigeria called – Remedies. These groups actually changed the face of Nigeria’s hip hop music scene.
It would be recalled that they are one of Nigeria’s biggest hip hop export known all Africa with several awards to show for it.
The group – Remedies had artiste like Tony Tetuila who shook the nation’s music scene with his hit track, ‘you don hit my car’. Eedris Abdulkareem thrilled everyone with his ‘Mr Lecturer’banger and also caught the attention of former President Olusegun Obasanjo with ‘Nigeriajaga jaga’ song. The third member of the Remedies was Eddy Remedy. These groups began the journey of the modern hip hop music and their popularity was the handiwork of Kenny Ogungbe and Dayo Adeneye who were managing them.
Kenny Ogungbe
Until recent times Kenny and Dayo were always seen together at any public function. They received awards together, drove the same type of cars and their fans refer to them as ‘twins’. But all that has changed as Kenny and Dayo, popularly called D One have decided to say goodbye to their union, but keeping it from the public.yemojanews.com gathered exclusively that a multi-million naira deal with Africa’s telecoms giant MTN tore them apart, and Kenny Ogungbe’s younger brother Idowu Ogungbe also called ID Ogungbe was instrumental to the break up.
Our source informed us that after the expiration of their earlier MTN deal few years ago which got the duo of Kenny and D One, two MTN branded H2 Hummer jeeps, efforts to renew it proved abortive as the terms proposed by D1 to MTN was turned down while the telecoms company made a less juicy offer which D One also rejected. The deal was for Primetime Entertainment, jointly owned by Kenny and D One.
Dayo D1 Adeneye
We learnt that Kenny’s younger brother, ID Ogungbe later went to his elder brother, and talked him into going to MTN to negotiate the offer that D One rejected for Primetime Entertainment and accept it for Kennis Music. Kennis Music is a record label and management company owned by Kenny Ogbungbe with bigger involvement of ID Ogungbe, while D One has little stake.
The source said Kenny fell for ID’s idea and they went into the deal with MTN for Kennis Music, and that immediately the deal was sealed, the telecoms company provided a branded bus for Kennis Music artistes, billed all artistes of Kennis Music to perform at the MTN 10th year anniversary events across the country and paid some millions of naira to Kennis music management.
It was gathered that all the transactions were done without the knowledge of D One, only for him to start seeing the new developments. Our source claimed D One asked his partner what was happening and Kenny explained the details, but said it was ID that prompted him to go for the deal.
yemojanews.com was informed that D One was furious that his idea was used without his knowledge and the Ogungbe brothers hid it from him until an insider in the telecoms company asked why he had not been coming for meetings while the negotiations was going on.
ID Ogungbe
It was gathered that before the arrival of ID Ogungbe from America few years back, the duo of Kenny and D One rarely had disagreements, but now, it’s the order of the day, with issues ranging from finances to management decisions.
It was alleged that when ID came on the Primetime TV programme with a segment called ID on the street, D1 asked Kenny what was ID’s stake and Kenny reportedly said that ID was working with Kennis Music and not a partner in Primetime Entertainment, but that any advert on his segment will be shared by both ID and Primetime Entertainment.
The recent development has made D One to have a rethink on his relationship with Kenny, and he has been boycotting the popular Kennis Music Primetime show on Raypower FM while Kenny kept telling listeners that D One was on assignment, but it has come to a point where he doesn’t bother to tell the listeners anything about his partner. D One also recently turned down a trip to Califonia, US where the duo was expected to grace an event.
Now, people don’t see them together at events anymore, and even when they are spotted in the same place, they are always metres away from each other.
Meanwhile, we learnt authoritatively that D One is already cooking his own independent television programme which will soon be aired on television stations across the country.
‘’It’s a celebrity interview programme. It will be syndicated on national television stations,’’ our source said.
