In 2011, Terry G was the hottest name in Nigerian music.
And Davido was just an upcoming artist

Fast forward to today…
Davido isn’t just big — he’s GLOBAL.
A billionaire.
A multi-award-winning artist.
One of the loudest voices pushing Afrobeats to the world.

Meanwhile, some names we once worshipped are now fighting to stay relevant.

But does that mean Terry G wasn’t talented?
Absolutely NOT.

This is your reminder: never look down on anyone.
The person you ignore today might be the one opening doors for you tomorrow.
Life is unpredictable. Timing is divine. Destiny is different for everyone.

Stay humble. Stay focused.
And above all, never write anyone off — their chapter might just be beginning.

Agada....

This was the extent my ancestors got to building their own bed called "Elu akwa" when complete with the grass filled mattress. I don't know the history of its creation so I can't venture there.

This piece of artistry is already extinct even in the most rural of Igboland.

This wooden structure itself is called Agada in my Mbaise dialect, and few other Igbo speaking areas I know.

When the Igbo say that "Iko anaghị eku nwa, ihe o ketere bu aziiza elu ákwà", meaning that "a concubinus doesn't make paternity claims rather his only gain from the relationship is the heat of sexual intercourse." This is the"elu ákwà we talk about.

But seeing this photograph which I got from the walls of my brother Kelechi Sam Nwagbaraocha brought up something else.

We have a saying that "Agada gbachiri ụzọ" this basically means the Agada that blocked the door.

Those days, the doors of the thatched roofed houses our ancestors built were tiny, and it was always a rigourous spectacle either taking the bed inside the room or bringing it out.

And this process was always a real battle as it often gets stuck on the door blocking entrance and exit.

It is from this obstruction that the phrase "Agada gbachiri ụzọ" came from.

I know over the years some have used that term in religious contexts to refer to higher beings or even God as "the one who blocks the way".

Some have also used it to refer to someone who tries to obstruct the success of others. Or someone who actively tries to undermine or sabotage the success of others, often after they have achieved something themselves.

However, I have always wanted to know the context in which Chief Ozumba Mbadiwe took the title of Agada Gbachiri Ụzọ. Was it about his role in the NCNC or NPN?

First, Mbadiwe didn't have the key to the River Niger like The Great Zik, and he also didn't have the power to trick the Mamiwata into a bottle and locking her up, after which he crushed her to make the popular powder 'Saturday Night'. If you don't know about these stories then I am your real elder.

So who knows why Ozumba Mbadiwe was "Agada Gbachiri Ụzọ"?

2FACE IDIBIA Launches New Record Label — “A Guy Entertainment”
‎
‎Legendary Nigerian music icon 2Baba, also known as 2Face Idibia, is officially back in the game!
‎
‎He has just launched a brand-new record label called “A Guy Entertainment”, signaling a major comeback after a quiet spell in the music industry.
‎
‎According to reports, the label will not only be a platform for his upcoming projects, but will also focus on signing and grooming young, talented artists — a move that could redefine the future of Afrobeat yet again.

Burna Boy has apologised for his comments criticising Afrobeats music, saying that they stemmed from a place of unhappiness.

The initial comments divided fan opinion back in 2023, when the Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer spoke to Zane Lowe for Apple Music, and shared that he thought the Afrobeats genre as a whole was devoid of any deeper meaning.

“Half of them, [actually,] 90 per cent of them, have almost no real-life experiences that they can understand,” he claimed. “That’s why you hear most Nigerian music, African Music, or Afrobeats, as people call it, is mostly about nothing, literally nothing.”

“There is no substance to it, like nobody is talking about anything. It’s just a great time, an amazing time,” he added. “But at the end of the day, life isn’t an amazing time.”

Now, two years on, the artist –who became the first African artist to headline a stadium show in the UK in 2023 – has looked back at his comments and said that it came in retaliation for feeling like he was being confined to one genre.

“I didn’t understand why people wanted my music to be inside one box,” he said when speaking to BBC 1Xtra’s Eddie Kadi, in a new interview.

Burna says he was "in a dark place mentally" when he made the comments.

"I wasn't the happiest man in the world," he says

He says the "division" his words caused helped him to "come to terms" with his opinion.

"I got the point of the Afrobeats tag in that moment," he says.

"I totally get it and I apologise for that confusion."

"I learnt to embrace the fact that I will always be different," he says.

"I'm not going to be the favourite but I'm going to be the best."
