BE THERE!!!!!!!!!

Lovely day to all the dearest readers of Mena's Blog.

Its an interesting day to talk about a very interesting topic.

This a topic we feel we already know everything about. But i'm sure by the time i'm done with this interesting piece you'll appreciate the knowledge you've acquired from this particular write up.

This piece is about mobile phones and how we communicate with them. You'll agree with me that it's the most effective mode of communication.

So today readers i'm going to be writing about the telephone etiquette. Whatever manner you use to have a conversation on your cell phone can mare or make you. Regardless of where you are and at what time there are many guidelines as to how to take calls on your cellphones. I'm going to describe each guideline to you.

IDENTIFICATION.

Regardless of who you call you need to introduce your self properly
You also need to find out if it's conveinent for the receiver to take the call.
There is a need to give the person on the other end of the phone line a heads up as to how long the conversation is going take. Will describe the pattern below.
* hello it's mena calling.is it a good tym to talk to you.i may be on to you for a while hope it's ok*.
Simple i guess.

POLITENESS.

Being polite to the receiver on the other end puts you the caller at ease.we all know not all phone conversations are on friendly notes.you should alwaiz speak into your receiver with an even and low note.*in my low sexy voice hello*

DON'T BE TOO LOUD.

You don't need to be overly loud when having a conversation on the phone. You shouldn't sound anxious aggressive or pushy. Your tone should convey authority and confidence.

BEWARE OF INAPPROPRIATE CONVERSATIONS IN PUBLIC.

No one needs to hear the drama going on in your life.So keep your private conversations for when nobody is close by.
*no one cares that your hubby didn't eat the food you cooked last night*

DO NOT USE LOUD AND ANNOYING RINGTONES.

In the present day you hear really weird sounds when some phone rings in public and you're like what in heaven's name is that sound and then someone turns and says to you "that's my ringtone" then you go like what the hell. We all need to embrace the habit of putting our phones on silent when going to public functions especially attending a meeting,going to church, when at the cinema seeing a movie etc.

AVOID PUTTING YOUR PHONE ON SPEAKER.

No one wants to hear whatever conversation you  are having with the other party.Pls do not answer your calls on speaker expect you are alone.
*atleast i don't want to listen to how you had good sex last night*

AVOID MULTI-TASKING.

Multi-tasking is something Nigerians love to do.Please do not drive and talk on the phone with one hand.It is for your own safety.

DO NOT USE YOUR CELL PHONE INAPPROPRIATELY.

Imagine me on a date with this really cute guy and then for the whole date he pays attention to his phone.First off i'll feel really sad with myself and then i'll stand up and whisper in he's ears he should continue the date with he's phone and leave the venue.Trust me people it is really annoying.

I hope you all enjoyed reading this piece and you'll all start taking corrections.

        *love to all my readers and your comments will be appreciated*.

D,Banj, Don Jazzy Rift Gets Messier**Don Jazzy Not In Official Oliver Twist Video


Does this rift get any worse between this two.every minute a new story about the duo comes to light.


The rumour about a crack in the 9-year relationship between D'Banj and Don Jazzy is getting messier as the days roll by.

The latest twist in the rumoured split between Don Jazzy and D'Banj is the new released official video of the hit track, Oliver Twist.

According to confirmed reports from those who have seen the video, Don Jazzy was not seen throughout the in the video. The video, which premiered only on MTV Base on March 17, at 00:00 Nigerian time, only had cameo appearance made by Kanye West.

You will recall that it was this video shoot broke the story of during the fuel protest saga, which got D'Banj being attacked by fans for allegedly being insensitive to their struggle.

Both D'Banj and Don Jazzy earlier did a fun video of Oliver Twist, which they also made open to fans in a competition late last year. The mock-video had members of Mohits danced to the song.

Does the absence of Don Jazzy in the official video of Oliver Twist, a track he produced, confirm the split between D'Banj and Don Jazzy?
Well at this point we can only fold our arms and wait for the duo to come public with whatever they want us to know.

E.X.P.O.S.E.D ! DETAILS OF HOW DON JAZZY & D’BANJ PART WAYS + D’BANJ’S MOTHER’S INFLUENCE.


New gist reaching has come to light suggesting that dbanj's mum may be the brain behind the split of the famous duo of Mohits records.

They were excitedly the happiest men on planet earth when American music superstar,Kanye West signed them into his G.O.O.D Music.

The Nigerian entertainment industry and music pundits within and outside Nigeria celebrated with them…but little did they know that their new union would crumble the rosy relationship that has existed between them over the years.

This is the story of a successful and awards winning entertainer,Dapo Oyebanjo popularly known as D’Banj and his long-time friend and producer,Micheal Collins Ajereh,better known as Don Jazzy,both founders of renowned Mo’hits crew.

When the news of the duo’s possible break-up came up last week,it became worrisome to some pundits,especially their fans,seeing the two closest friends finally parting-ways,while others believe that it might be a publicity stunt designed to achieve a targeted goal.They described D’Banj and Don Jazzy as “ joint product” that cannot be separated for whatever interest.

Sources revealed that D’Banj was becoming too arrogant to everybody including Don-Jazzy, and efforts to curb him had been difficult.

Coming out to lay the rumour to rest was Don Jazzy. He took to his twitter page and tweeted, "Good day friends. So sorry I have been away for long as I have been going through some changes in my life.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the end of a long Era and the beginning of a new One

Some of the Rumours you have all heard recently are sad but true. The way forward now is to make sure I keep bringing you guys more of the beautiful music you all love to dance to.

And to end d old era, I will be donating the proceeds of my production catalogue from day one till date to five charity organizations. Thanks. IDJA

There have been quite a lot of speculations on what could have led to their disagreement.

This report gives you a detailed account of the fight between the two.

D’BANJ’S ATTITUDE PROBLEM

D’Banj’s egocentric attitude,we gathered is one of the reasons the duo fell apart.

According to information reaching us,D’Banj has been acting funny lately and always disregards any decision made by Don Jazzy and any other Mo Hits Crew concerning how they run the company.

D’Banj is naturally one person that is egocentric but one person he respects a lot is Don Jazzy.He has always been the face of the brand because Don Jazzy is more preoccupied with technical work but of late he doesn’t even regard Don Jazzy anymore.This is because they have been having issues.There was even a time he told Don Jazzy that without him,there will be no Mo’Hits Records.

No one can really tell what has got into him but the fact remains that he has allowed certain things to get to him which has obviously affected his relationship with Don Jazzy.

MONEY

There has been a sharing formula on whatever D’Banj makes as an artiste.A certain percentage is expected to be remitted to Mo’Hits account from any show and endorsement deal any artiste on the label gets.

Don Jazzy,being the producer makes no money from shows and hardly produce any other artiste,but lives on the money the artistes make from shows because he is the President of Mo Hits.

The issue of money started about 4 years ago when D’Banj got the Globacom Endorsement deal.D’Banj is said to have refused to remit the company’s percentage and based on the fact that there is no written agreement between them Don Jazzy could not question his decision.

There are too many issues to start talking about how money got in between them.Most notable ones are the Globacom deal and Presidential election campaign deal.

Remember Don Jazzy said it clear on Twitter that he never collected any money from the president.Though D’Banj has been the one financing most of their projects but it is believed that he should be remitting certain back to run the company.

D’BANJ’S MOTHER’S INFLUENCE

D’Banj’s mother is one person that has been the backbone of Mo Hits record from the outset.

For certain reasons,sources disclosed,she got displeased with Don Jazzy and other members of Mo’Hits Record allegedly encouraging D’Banj to move on without them.

D’Banj’s mother,we learnt has been the one in control of their activities lately and is not in any way pleased with what he gives back to the label having been the one making all the money.

KANYE WEST DEAL

The deal between MoHIts records and G.O.O.D music owned by American Rapper,Kanye West,is one of the best things to ever happen to the Nigerian music industry.While many people celebrated the deal,little did they know it will eventually cause a rift between them.

Details of what went wrong is yet to be ascertained but our source alleged that “Don Jazzy was more favoured in the deal than D’Banj.

Don Jazzy,reports say,has already produced a track for Good Music.

DON JAZZY’S FUEL SUBSIDY REACTION

During the removal of fuel subsidy protest in Lagos,Don Jazzy made a comment on Twitter disregarding the action of the president to have increased fuel price.

He also noted that he never collected any money for the presidential campaign done by D’Banj in 2011.

The statement,we gathered got D’Banj very upset and cause a big rift between them.

CHOICE OF BANKULI OVER SUNDAY ARE AS MANAGER

Sunday Are the CEO of List Entertainment has been the manager of D’Banj for years and he also runs the management company for MoHits record.

Sometimes in 2009,Bankuli who has been their close friend for many years came into the picture and rather than refer to Sunday Are as his manager,he started associating more with Bankuli.

Late last year,he made it known that he wanted to have a change of manager and chose Bankuli,but Don Jazzy disagreed and decided to keep Sunday Are as the manager of MohIts Records.

Right now Bankuli has taken over the management of D’Banj while Sunday Are remains the manager of other Mo’Hits artistes.

WANDE COAL’S ALBUM DELAY

The delay of the release of Wande Coal’s album,sources disclosed,was initiated by D’Banj.

Just like he delayed the release of his first album M2M for his last album,D’Banj,insiders disclosed intends not to have Wande release any album until he releases his own.

After much pressure on Don Jazzy to release Wande Coal’s album,he dropped three singles which D’Banj according to sources was not happy about.

Wande has always been a threat to D’Banj and he believes Don Jazzy should put more energy on his own work rather than Wande or any other artiste on Mo’Hits.

That Don Jazzy released three singles from Wande’s forthcoming album may have been the final straw that broke the camel’s back and that is one big reason they fell apart.

N15m share scam: Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke seeks out of court settlement

Hmmmm my Dear Jim you've been through alot with this case.i'm hoping things are resolved immediately.


Popular Nollywood actor, James Ikechukwu Esomugha, a.k.a Jim Iyke, who is facing trial over his alleged involvement in a N15 million share scam, has begged a Chief Magistrate Court in Abuja to allow him to settle the case out of court.
The controversial actor, who often plays bad boy role in movies, is answering to a one count criminal charge preferred against him by the Nigerian Police Force.

Nollywood star, Jim Iyke docked

He was specifically charged with criminal breach of trust, criminal force, assault, cheating and criminal misappropriation contrary to sections 312, 265, 322, 397 and 309 of the Penal Code.
Police alleged that he used fraudulent tactics and acquired 15 per cent equity shares of a music company, Untamed Records Ltd.
The prosecuting counsel, Mr Chijoke Okezie, told the court that investigation into the case revealed that the accused, a resident of Sunnyville Estate, Abuja, hoodwinked one Habiba Abubakar into granting him access to share documents of the recording company.
He said police was invited into the case after Abubakar who is the manager of the company, discovered that 15 per cent of its equity shares was transferred to Jim Iyke.
Trial Magistrate Azubike Okeagu had on November 11, 2011, granted him bail in the sum of N500, 000, after he pleaded not guilty to the charge and brought two sureties before the court.
Meanwhile, following his absence in court on Tuesday, Police applied that a bench warrant be issued against him, a move that has prompted the actor to seek an amicable resolution of the matter out of court.
In an oral application he tendered through his counsel, Mrs Esther Uzoma, Jim Iyke, who told the court that he was mobbed in Cameroun when he went for a video shoot, said his inability to appear for trial was owing to the fact that he was receiving treatment at Cidar Press Hospital in Abuja.
“Your worship, I wish to bring to your notice that my client, James Ikechukwu Esomugha, known as Jim Iyke, is presently in hospital, as it stands presently, he is not fit to stand his trial as the constitution requires, if this court is doubting me, I can quickly rush to the hospital to get a medical report or better still, the court can investigate the matter by itself.
“He was mobbed in Cameroun when he went for a video shoot last week, moreover, both parties are making efforts to reconcile the case out of court”, she added.
Not satisfied with the explanation, Police lawyer, Inspector Danjuma Ebune, described it as a deliberate ploy to frustrate the trial.
The prosecution said he had produced three witnesses to testify against the accused person, insisting that police was not ready to settle the case out of court.
Consequently, Magistrate Okeagu ordered the accused to ensure that he is in court on April 17 when the case was subsequently adjourned to, or risk arrest.
Meantime, Saturday Vanguard can exclusively report that in his bid to settle the case out of court, the embattled actor has tendered a written apology to the manager of the company who he was said to have beaten up.
Here's A copy of the letter which was made available , Mrs Esther, reads: “I Jim Iyke Esomugha sincerely apologize to Hajia Habiba Abubakar, her family and my family; the Esomugha family for the pain and embarrassment the court case and ensuing publications in the press may have caused her, her family and my family.
“Hajia Habiba Abubakar is a good friend of my family and a business associate and our families have agreed to settle all lingering issues out of court.”

Don Jazzy debunks squatting with Wande Coal

This mohits gist is getting jucier and i'm loving the new twist to their tales.

…as D’Banj denies ownership of Mo’Hits
When we broke the news that one of Nigeria’s most celebrated musical duo Don Jazzy, his friend and partner, D’Banj were separated, most people accused us of spreading rumours. Today we’ve been vindicated by recent developments.
The first to react to the development, was Don Jazzy who through a mutual friend debunked reports that he was squatting with one of his artistes, Wande Coal.
He was visibly disappointed with the report and corrected it saying, he lives in his own house on Lagos Island.

*Dbanj & Don Jazzy

“After all these years as a successful producer and record company executive, are Nigerians saying I am not well off enough to afford my own place?”, he was quoted as saying.

According to reports, the duo agreed to go their separate ways in principle and so there was no way Jazzy would have left the house he shared with D’Banj in a hurry. He had enough time to get his own apartment before moving out.
As Nigerians continue to react to the separation saga, D’Banj has denied report quoting Ebony magazine, saying he owns Mo’Hits Records. Instead, the Koko Master said he co-owns the record company with Don Jazzy.
In the interview published on Ebony Magazine’s official website, on March 12, 2012, D’banj said: “Coming from Africa, I’m my own manager, but I co-own a label called Mo’ Hits with artistes Dr. Sid, Wande Coal, D’Prince and K-Switch. I co-own Mo’ Hits and we’ve won numerous awards by the grace of God’, D’banj told music journalist Hillary Crosley.
The pop star goes on to talk about his entrance into the US market and his signing with Kanye West’s label G.O.O.D Music.
Initial reports had quoted D’Banj as claiming ownership of Mo’Hits Records, a report clarified by the artiste.
When the initial report came, it was uncertain whether D’Banj was actually laying claim to fully owning Mo’Hits, or he was quoted out of context by the interviewer.
But, curiously, apart from referring to Don Jazzy as ‘his co- owner’, D’banj didn’t mention or credit the producer in any other part of the interview.
It is generally believed that D’banj and Don Jazzy co-own the label, with Don jazzy acting as President while D’Banj is Vice President. They’re the label’s only known directors.
The pair, who started out about nine years ago when D’banj released his single ‘Tongolo’ have made headlines in recent times.

Even a native doctor couldn't save himself.
A Benin based traditional medicine healer simply identified as Osayamwen but popularly known as Dr. 2+2 yesterday morning committed suicide at his residence in Eyean, Uhunmwode Local Government Area of Edo State.
Dr. 2+2 was said to have been found hanging inside his bedroom at about 9am.
Yesterday when journalists visited his residence, sympathizers were seen outside the building which was put under lock and key discussing in low tones.
Attempt by journalists to speak with his immediate met a brick wall as they refused to comment on the incident, insisting that they were waiting for the police to remove his corpse.
A source said the late 2+2 was lively in the morning but was found hanging shortly after he gave his children money to go to school.
The source said they have also contacted the Palace of the Benin Monarch for the necessary sacrifice to be done.
Spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, ASP Bassey Etim said he was yet to be briefed.
