VIDEO: JOHNNY ENA - THE PLACE | @Johnnyena4

Exceptionally gifted and graciously anointed! Music minister Johnny Ena returns with a song that will resonate with every  kingdom conscious child of God tiled "The Place".

Johnny Ena follows the release of "Oghene Doh" featuring the anointed Onos, which was released in April with the video of "The Place", a song that speaks about the writer's longing and awe of the place called Heaven.

"Few months back, I pondered over why we have stopped talking about the place called Heaven! While growing up as a young Christian, we consciously reminded our self about how Christ has gone ahead of us to prepare a place for us, and how we need to be ready because no one knows that hour. I immediately contacted my friend Awei Frank Alfred, a prolific song writer to write a song on "The Place". When I saw the lyrics I had to pray that God gives me the inspiration to interpret the lyrics with the right sound that will touch lives and remind all about Heaven." - Johnny Ena

Written by Awei Frank Alfred and produced by  Kayode Omotade, Johnny Ena's choice of location for the video depicts the wonders expressed in the lyrics of the song.

HAIL THE CLASSIC MAN! - JIDENNA'S VISIT TO NIGERIA - ALL THE GLITZ & GLAMOUR

Last week, Lagos stood up to welcome Nigeria’s own Jidenna for a long-awaited and exciting visit.

The Classic Man touched down at Murtala Muhammed Airport Lagos on Tuesday, August 30th amidst loud cheers and welcoming screams from his adoring fans. He was hosted by Eko Hotels and Suites where he and his team had delicious dinner prepared specially by the hotel’s restaurant staff.

No breaks for this hard worker, as the next morning he commenced a media tour. Starting off at Beat Fm for an interview hosted by Olisa and Maria Okan, he visited many other media houses like Cool Fm, NdaniTV, Pulse TV and countless others, making sure to leave the interviewers doubled-over with laughter. He is fondly remembered as having such a warm and friendly persona, always quick to joke and very approachable.

Ace photographer Kelechi Amadi was tasked with conducting a photoshoot for Jidenna, and he chose Broad Street in Lagos Island as his location. This turned out to be quite a herculean task, as hundreds of fans mobbed the shoot cheering and requesting for selfies. 

Through it all, it is very commendable that Jidenna kept his cool, was very humble and collected, and granted requests for selfies and photographs. We hear that he even made it rain! Another photoshoot was conducted quietly for him by the Maestro, TY Bello at her famous studio in Yaba, Lagos. Later that evening, he kicked back with some of the biggest names in African entertainment, including Banky W, M.I, Poe, Cobhams, Ebuka Okija and Vanessa Mdee, who had all turned up to welcome and show their support for The Classic Man.

Next day, he made a quick stop at Smooth FM, and then on to a sound check with his band for his sensational performance at HardRock Cafe.

The show kicked off that evening with fans in attendance, and the venue filled to its rafters! The excitement was very palpable and the fans were not disappointed at all! Jidenna performed his internationally jamming song ‘Classic Man’, his new chart-topper ‘Little Bit More’ and his already widely-acclaimed hit ‘Chief Don’t Run’. He shared the stage with America’s favorite Mr Eazi and fans were thrilled to a surprise performance by Nigeria’s rockstar BurnaBoy! All in all, that night is one that will not be forgotten in a hurry!

Next morning saw Jidenna in Enugu State where he continued his media tour with a visit to Urban Fm and other media houses in the state. He stopped over at Enugu State University where his father lectured, and showed a philanthropic side in awarding several scholarships to deserving awardees.

Nigeria made sure she did not send him back empty-handed! He received several gifts including a special presentation from the pupils of the primary school he attended, and a set of beautifully made outfits by ace clothier, Ugo Monye.

We guess it’s safe to say that we are heartbroken to see the Classic Man leave Nigeria’s shores, and we are simply giddy with excitement and anticipation for his return!

FACEBOOK CEO, MARK ZUCKERBERG VISITS NIGERIA TO WITNESS AFRICA'S TECH REVOLUTION

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited Nigeria recently on his first trip to Africa, using his time in the country to visit the Yaba technology hub in Lagos, meet with developers and partners, and explore Nollywood.

Zuckerberg was in Nigeria to listen and learn and take ideas back to California on how Facebook can better support tech development and entrepreneurship across Africa.

One of his first stops on the trip was to visit a 'Summer of Code Camp' at the Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) in Yaba, known as the Silicon Valley of Nigeria.

CcHub opened in 2011 and at the time didn't even have an office. Five years later they fill three floors and the roof of a building. At CcHub people can learn how to code, developers can get help launching their first products, and find mentors and funding.

At CcHub Zuckerberg met with developers like Temi Giwa, who runs a platform called Life Bank that makes blood available when and where it is needed in Nigeria. Life Bank saves lives by mobilizing blood donations, taking inventory of all blood available in the country, and delivering blood in the right condition to where it is needed.

After visiting CcHub Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, said:

“This is my first trip to sub-Saharan Africa. I'll be meeting with developers and entrepreneurs, and learning about the startup ecosystem in Nigeria. The energy here is amazing and I'm excited to learn as much as I can.

“The first place I got to visit was the Co-creation Hub Nigeria (CcHUB) in Yaba. I got to talk to kids at a summer coding camp and entrepreneurs who come to CcHub to build and launch their apps.  I'm looking forward to meeting more people in Nigeria.”

Meeting developers at Andela

Mark then went to Andela, an engineering organization that is building the next generation of technical leaders in Africa.

Andela is a business that recruits the most talented technologists in Africa and shapes them into world-class developers through a four-year technical leadership program. In the two years since it was founded, Andela has accepted just over 200 engineers from a pool of more than 40,000 applicants. Andela developers spend six months mastering a technical stack and contributing to open source projects before being placed with global technology companies as full-time, distributed teammates, working out of Andela headquarters in Lagos and Nairobi.

Earlier this year, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative invested in Andela after being impressed by the company's innovative model of learning and its drive to connect the global technology ecosystem with the most talented developers in Africa.

Seni Sulyman, Director, Andela Lagos, said: “We are excited and honored to welcome Mark Zuckerberg to Lagos. His visit reinforces not only his support of Andela’s mission, but his belief that indeed the next generation of great technology leaders will come out of Lagos, Nigeria and cities across Africa. Andela has created a platform for passionate, driven software developers and engineers to break into the global tech ecosystem, but the barriers to entry are still very high. Mark’s visit demonstrates to all Nigerian developers and entrepreneurs that they’ve caught the attention of the tech world, and they are capable of succeeding on a truly global level."

At the end of the day Zuckerberg stopped by an Express WiFi stand in Lagos owned by Rosemary Njoku. Facebook's Express WiFi lets entrepreneurs like Rosemary set up a hot spot to help their community access apps and services built by local developers.
