Brief Bio

Real name - FRANCIS ADE

The fusion of several music genres such as R&B, Reggae, Rap and Afro-Pop makes Cloud9 the versatile artist he is, drawing his inspiration from anything remotely noticeable and worth talking about.

He started music professionally in 2010, dropping his first single LETS RIDE, and then went off the scene for a while to complete his education. He earned himself a B.Sc Degree in Computer Science/Statistics from the University of Benin.

Back with a banger, his new single ELEGUSHI CHILLING is totally a hilarious song that explains the reality of an average Nigerian living the pretentious life of a baller.

He then teamed up with one of Nigerians finest video directors CARDOSO IMAGERY who put the icing on the cake by making a video so funny with great quality. You can’t help but want to watch over and over again.

Produced by MICON & mixed by MARQAI, ELEGUSHI CHILLING is truly the jam of the moment.

If you ain't heard em, you still sitting on a loooong thing!!!

Caitlyn Jenner will not be charged in fatal crash

Prosecutors declined to charge Caitlyn Jenner on Wednesday in a California car crash that led to the death of another driver, saying there was not enough evidence for a conviction.


Authorities said Jenner was towing an off-road vehicle on a trailer behind a Cadillac Escalade on Feb. 7 when she crashed into two cars, pushing one into oncoming traffic. Driver Kim Howe was killed when her Lexus was hit by a Hummer.

“We believed from the start that a thorough and objective investigation would clear Caitlyn of any criminal wrongdoing,” said Blair Berk, Jenner’s attorney. 

“We are heartened the district attorney has agreed that even a misdemeanor charge would be inappropriate. A traffic accident, however devastating and heartbreaking when a life is lost, is not necessarily a criminal matter.”

 The D.A. rejected the case, saying she was not speeding, she hit the brakes though belatedly, and her conduct was not "unreasonable" based on all the facts.

4 Secrets of The Benin Kingdom Exposed!

Nigeria has a grounded traditional institution. From the north to the south, east and west, there are traditional rulers who have served as custodian of culture and traditions and contributed their quota in the development of the communities.

One formidable traditional system revered by Nigerians is the monarchical system of the Benin Kingdom. The kingdom is led by Omo N’Oba Erediauwa who was enthroned in 1979 and its rich heritage has made the system impregnable to the spoils of modernity. Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 hotel booking portal shines the light on key reasons why this traditional institution stands out.

Steeped in Mystery

The Benin monarchical system is embedded in so much mystery that it is sometimes difficult for the uninitiated to understand. There are taboos like pointing and whistling that visitors must not engage in. In addition, the process of coronation, burial and even the Igue festival are all done in deep secrecy with a plethora of rituals.

                               

Rich history

The traditional empire of Benin predates Nigeria. This makes it distinct and unique from others dynasties. The Benin kingdom is believed to have been founded in 1440 and has had 38 traditional rulers including the present Omo N’Oba. The heritage of both the traditional system and the history of Benin made the position of Oba very powerful.  

Rare appearance of the Oba

Like the rulers in neighbouring Ondo state, being an Oba in Benin Kingdom comes with a long list of rules and regulations. An important one is that the Oba is rarely seen in public. The only period he is seen is during the Igue festival. Even if a highly placed personality invites the Oba, he will either send his emissaries or have the individual visit him inside his palace.

Influential

It is a first class traditional institution and this attracts the high and mighty. This influence stretches beyond the shores of Benin to the nooks and crannies of Nigeria. Therefore, the throne is competitive leading to multiple controversy among its people. However, due to the history and heritage of the kingdom, disputes are infrequent. This is because there are laid down rules and regulations which date to the beginning of the traditional institution itself that guides the conduct of its constituents.

Flood Overruns Alpha Beach Area of Lekki – PHOTOS

Residents of the Alpha Beach area of Lekki are expressing frustration at the flood situation currently plaguing the region.

Several sources state that it is a recurring problem, and a solution is yet to be found.

A resident in the area recently took to Nairaland to share thoughts and photos about the issue:

“Residents and villagers of Alpha Beach area of Lekki are currently battling flood. This is a yearly reoccurance and this years is the worst it has been. Houses are being submerged in water, people are made homeless and cars are stranded.

Year after year residents in this environment cry to the Government for help but it keeps occurring. All the businesses on the beach are now under water and are currently unemployed. A country as strong as Nigeria yet we cannot handle the annual flood crisis. Billions of dollars are spent on the Eko Atlantic City all in the name of a Mega City or is it luxurious living yet the poor are suffering.

I hope the office oqf the Governor of Lagos sees this or better still The President sees this. This is not change, nothing has changed, we need change, we want change”
