THE CHILD: Synopsis of the Movie

Directed by Izu Ojukwu, ‘The Child’ revolves around a Benin town’s expectation of a ‘child’ promised the community by the gods. The advent of the child will see to the end of the town’s problems which include drought and recurrent war defeats, especially against the strong army of Ijogun.

Two children, at least as far as we can tell, are born on the said night; one is by the widowed queen Ifueko, played by Joke Silva, whose uncle the Iyase (Alex Usifo) is the regent. Another woman gives birth to a son. The rains return, wars are won and a basket mysteriously retains water after the boys are born. As long as the basket holds water, the community knows their special one is still alive. As both boys grow up, so does the competition between them as both are intent to prove their ‘childship,’ despite the fact that all have accepted the crown prince Nosa (or Omo as his mother calls him) as the special one (Edaeke).

WAHOLAAA'S TOP 10 SONGS OF 2010

2010 was a year of non-stop beats, sounds and rhythms in the Nigerian Music Industry. Our Radios and Televisions had a constant barage of songs and videos in our ears and faces on a daily basis. Some were super cool and some made us cringe and go- "ENOUGH!" 
And some caused serious "wahala" for the dancefloors at every party, wedding or club as both the young and old rocked in total abandon.
Based on constant radio airplay, TV play, Phone play, iPod play, People play and all available play (lol!), Here is the official top 10 song list for the year 2010 from waHOLAAA! to you:

1. Ice Prince – "Oleku"  – …This song had to be No 1 after I stopped once at a malam's shop and the song started playing from his phone. That's It. The song was just everywhere. The Prince of Cool made quite an entrance with this maaaad hit song of the year. He's certainly moved from low to apex and his accounts are fat and shapeless right about now."Feeling the Boi" has become the latest slogan on the naija scene and Brymo makes all the ladies shiver as he sweetly rings out this unforgettable hook with Mr Zamani harmonizing along. (Y'all didn know that was him, right?)
   Big Ups to Ice Prince Zamani, Brymo and the Choc family for being the #1 waHOLAAA! song of 2010.
   
   
   
2. 2face Idibia – "Implication" – One of the most popular songs of 2010. A serious club banger, no DJ turn table was complete without this song seeping from his wheels. Being the 1st single off his international release of his album "UNSTOPPABBLE", 2Face got every fan on an implicated frenzy with ease.

3. 2face Idibia –"Only Me"– The catchy yoruba chorus with its deep insightful meaning got across to the avid listener at the snap of the first line. Within the the first few weeks of the video release, the song was on the lips of every man, woman, boy and girl. Another hit from "The Unstoppable "Collection.
   
   
   
4. D’banj – "Mr Endowed" – The Koko Master did it again. Adding to the ever increasing naija slogan vocabulary, “Mr Endowed” took its spot in no time. A massive club banger backed up with a cool video. Talks of a remix with Snoop Dogg to be released early 2011.
   
   
5. Kas – "Fimile" – The well crafted and intentional off beat, off key tune caught everyone's attention  and everyone's feet. Wittingly coined as the "sharp sharp relationship break-up song", Fimile ran to the top of radio playlists in the heat of its release. A remix feat D'Banj and 2Face was released shortly afterwards.
   
   
   
6. Da Grin- "Pon Pon Pon" – The sudden demise of Da Grin brought a bleak moment in the Nigerian music Industry but it also shot up the sales of his just released album - CEO- at the time. The hit single off the album, "Pon Pon Pon" as well as other hit songs including "Kondo" could be heard on every street, every corner, every car, every phone as everyone remembered the musical prowess of Barrack O'Grin.
   
   
    
7.  Naeto C – "10/10" – The only MC with an MSC surely kept reminding us that it pays to stay on top of your grades as well as your career as he went to further his studies and got a Masters Degree, at the same time, dropping off another bonafide hit from his awaited debut album, "Super C".
   Truely we got no choice but to agree...He's in a 10/10 state of mind.
   
   
8. Goldie feat El Dee- "You Know It" – Goldie shook the industry with the release of her super hit single "You Know It". Everyone couldn't get enough of the stunning video and the infectious battle hook. Teaming up with hitmaker,ELDee surely gave her musical career a boost and gave her waning fans a new outlook on her music. PS: Didn't the ladies just love this one?
   
   
   
9. Wizkid – "Holla at ya Boy" – Young, Cute and with a lot of swag, the WizKid sure got the ladies swooning with this one. The single was an immediate hit at its release and once again, anoda slogan was born.
   
   
   
10. SugarBoy A1- "SwaggerMan Dope"/"BadMan"– Catching up on everyone real quick in all his sweetness is Wahala Media's boy wonder, SugarBoy A1.  First revealed, in the collaboration with ModeNine on "BadMan" and releasing his full song version which he tagged "SwaggerMan Dope",The HookMaster, as he's called, set the two tracks on fire. No matter which version was played at any event or gig with the SugarBoy on the mic, everyone sang along to the catchy hook, asking "the BadMan for that Bad Instrumental" and of cos, THEY GOT IT!.
    The video of "SwaggerMan Dope" is slated for release this January.

Whilst celebrating her 30^th birthday which she mischievously coined as “THE 3^RD SYMPHONY ON THE KEY OF O” at a private party which held at the SWE lounge, City Mall, Ikoyi on the 19^th of Dec 2010 , the charming songstress, Nikki Laoye, officially launched her three pet projects which had been kept under wraps for months.First is The “ANGEL 4 LIFE” PROJECT , a charity initiative created by Nikki, to raise funds and provide support services for the visually impaired community, orphanages and homes, local schools and needy individuals. Her first major beneficiary is the NigerWives Braille Production Centre, Kings College VI, who produce Braille books for blind students across Nigeria.  Adeola, a representative of the centre, who is visually impaired, was a guest at the party as well.

Other beneficiaries of the project include the Precious Pearls Orphanage, Egbeda; Modupe Cole Home; Prison’s Ministry of House on the Rock Church as well as some visually challenged individuals whom Nikki personally supports already and many more. Now Nikki is on a roll to urge as many people as she can, to support this cause and be “angels 4 life”, along with her.

To further support this project, Nikki has also designed her very first hardcover notebook from her stationery line - “Scribbles! By Nikki Laoye”.  These are a series of personally designed notebooks by Nikki and first out in print is a special A4L edition notebook, to be sold and its proceeds will go to the “ANGEL 4 LIFE” Project. The notebook, made in great print quality, was launched at the event.

Revealed at the party as well is Nikki’s alter ego, PAPARAZZI AUNTY. This is Nikki behind the camera lens as opposed to her being in front of the flashing lights. Taking up photography on a new level, Nikki has decided to take up her love for capturing images. She was recently the set photographer at the video shoot of upcoming R&B recording artiste, SugarBoy A1.

 A fun filled day and definitely a beautiful symphony it was for Nikki as she set up a new landmark for herself, just before the end of the year.

CHRISTINE'S GOT HER "LIFE UNDER CONSTRUCTION"

After years of challenges and numerous failed promises, Christine Ben-Ameh is finally ready to officially stamp her presence and make an impression on the domestic and international R & B scene with the release of her debut album , "LIFE UNDER CONSTRUCTION" on the 31st of December, 2010.

With previously released singles such as "I'm a Star", "Ungraceful", "Mary Jane" feat Skales (of Banky W's EME camp), the album tells the tale of a life under construction in its purest form, with tales of love, of struggles, of personal growth, and finally, triumphs.

Born 16^th October, in the mid 80’s, Christine has been actively involved with music from her earlier years with various stints in choirs, going on to record her first music demo in 2003 which didn’t garner much of an audience as she was still fairly fresh on the scene. From that point, Christine has been working steadily to get her music brand publicly recognized.

Enrolling at the University of Jos towards a Mass communications undergraduate degree, Christine had the opportunity in 2005 to participate in and eventually win a promo talent hunt put together by telecommunications company MTN, and a year later in 2006, participate in the national singing competition and reality show “Nokia First Chance” which she likewise won, creating an initial fan base eager to support Christine and her music.

Since then, Christine has spent her time honing her singing, songwriting talents, recording and gearing up for the release of her debut album, “Life Under Construction”.

And now, with the assistance of a sponsor in the States, Canadian management company, GroundZeroMGMT and Nigerian promotions company, S.H.A.R.E. PR, Christine has a dedicated team behind her, wholly focused on pushing her music, both within Nigeria and internationally.

As a complete body of work, the "Life Under Construction" project promises more than just easy listening, but presents an experience through the eyes, heart and mind of Christine.
