MUSIC IS VERY EXPENSIVE- IYANYA SAYS

During a recent interview with Encomium magazine, singer Iyanya gave an insight into why some Nigerian entertainers are forced to live large. Excerpts...

"Why do you think some artistes come come up with hit songs and find it difficult to maintain it?"
Iyanya "Music is very expensive. Most of them make money and its had to put it back in the same thing. Your next money is not guaranteed because there are lots of artistes. If you say you wouldn't do show A, they can take artiste B for that show. It doesn't mean that because you have a hit song, you would be performing at all shows. It doesn't work like that. So, some of these guys, its hard for them. Its hard for them to follow up. Follow up is the hardest thing to do. Many artistes make a hit but the money they make from that hit is not even enough for them to support or sponsor the next video. So don't blame them'. Continue...

So they need a lot of money to remain relevant?
Iyanya "Yes. Let me give you an instance. I had a show here in Lagos, I was in Dubai. They made a mistake and booked my flight for Monday and the show was on Sunday. We rushed to the airport, they said no that my ticket was for the next day. After much pleading and explaining that I had a show that night in Lagos, they said alright. I could board but not business class since it wasn't my flight. I had to fly economy class with my business class ticket. Sitting down there, people around where staring at me like what am I doing here. A woman even walked up to me and said "Iyanya, you no suppose dey here now, na the other side you suppose dey". What came to my mind next was that I can't just decide to fly economy today, it will become gist. I have to work hard, I have to make money, to live up to your expectations. It's not like am living my life for you but its the life I chose. So, I have to do it".

Lady Burns Herself & Hubby To Death After He Planned To Take A New Wife (PHOTO)

Mr. Ngozi Chilekezi and his wife, Patience alias Oil, were burnt to death in the Umuodo community of Itu, Ezinihitte Local Government Area of Imo State last weekend.
According to the Vanguard, the couple had lived together as husband and wife for about 12 years before the well executed murder by the wife. The late woman had allegedly planned to elope with another man but the plot leaked to her husband, who allegedly confronted the strange man and started making plans to take another wife.

Fortunately, the husband, who was badly burnt at the time he was rushed to a nearby hospital, was able to narrate what happened to his relations before he died.

Late Chilekezi said he was invited last Saturday into their living room by his wife at about 1.30 p.m. for a chat.
“On entering the room, his wife poured fuel on him, lit a match and held him tightly to ensure that he did not escape from the evil plot,” a villager recounted.The villager equally told Vanguard that Chilekezi, a relatively comfortable automobile technician, managed to extricate himself from his wife’s grip and ran out of the burning house and was taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention.

The dying man also told his relations that his wife was equally trapped in the burning house but before people could get back to the house, the woman was already burnt beyond recognition.
At press time, the charred remains of Mrs. Chilekezi was still in the burnt house, while the husband’s body had been deposited in an undisclosed morgue.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mrs. Joy Elemoko, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said a crack team of detectives from the state police headquarters had swung into action.
