Dear men who are still broke and married—listen. If you can understand this now, there’s a real chance you and your family can break free from poverty. Stop trying to stifle your wife just so you can keep answering “man of the house.” If you’ve been trying and it’s not working, why not try your wife, invest in your wife? Many men I know who are buying houses and even relocating abroad—it was their wife that brought light into the family. But you won’t hear it, because the woman understands what partnership truly means. You’re busy shouting “Alpha male”, yet you barely contribute to food money, and you’re not doing anything to help your wife grow either. My brother, you’re in for a long ride. Family is sweeter when both husband and wife are working toward a shared goal. There’s a couple here in Enugu—the wife runs an event planning business. The husband noticed the potential and invested in her business. Today, they run it together and it has scaled massively. Even if your own hustle is not moving well, you can still support your wife’s hustle. A good woman won’t start dragging title with you. She’ll still be your wife—and she’ll even respect you more for it. Alpha male without Odogwu energy is just noise. Calm down, bro. It doesn’t matter where the light comes from, as long as it’s for the growth of the house. ➖Invest in your woman. ➖Support her dreams. ➖Join her hustle if you must I did it with mine—and today, I’m enjoying it. Alpha male no dey pay bills again o. Partnership does. Invest in her—she might just be the answer you’re praying for. Kelvin Onovo

The Only Reason 𝗜𝗚𝗕𝗢 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗦 Struggle So Much In The industry Is Because The "𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗦" FAILED To Pass The BARTON 😭💔🔥 One of the major issues we have failed to address squarely as a people is the reason we are still where we are today. So many people have chosen to cast their blames on other tribes while some others held unto their assumptions that the Nigerian Media does not like them while some claim that the Music industry is being run by the Yorubas. While we run in circles, we forget to ask the major questions that we are supposed to ask which is "Which Upcoming Artiste In IGBOLAND Has Our Own Big Names Helped " ❓❓ Olamide Blew up the same time as PHYNO. When you look at his legacy in the industry and the long list of Artistes he has singlehandedly contributed immensely to their growth in the industry, you'll understand the template of the game. Today, all those Artistes are making wave and had even transitioned into helping other upcoming ones too. You helped me, I helped another and this other person then we go on to help some others and the list goes on and on....That is what makes a progressive industry. Now let's get back to our main conversation. Who has Our own igbo Big names Helped? Who are the people Psquare helped in their decades of years in the industry? Who are the people kcee signed in his over two decades in the industry? Who are the people Flavour Nabania signed? You all are not ready for this conversation 🫣 We were able to hear about phyno today isn't just as a result of his grace but also because Nigga Raw picked interest in him and played a godfather role during his early stage as an upcoming Artiste. Today he has grown to become one of the best Musicians in the whole of the continent not just Nigeria 🇳🇬 and he's replicating that same role Nigga Raw played in his life, in Jeriqthehussla and Aguero banks career and it is evident. I know someone reading this post might say, "it's still not enough". Yes, You might be right but at least, he made efforts and we need him to do more. How about those who could boast of spending 10-15yrs in the mainstream and yet, cannot boast of a single artiste that they have blown. What kind of Legacy is that? The same industry where Shallipopi of yesterday has blown over three Artiste (including his two blood brothers) in less than Three years as a mainstream artiste, It will shock you to know that as Big as Patoranking and Tekno and even CKay are in the industry, they have never blessed any fast rising Eastern artiste with a single verse not to mention signing anyone.🙆🏽‍♂️💔 We understand that so many people might hate us After this post but let it be known that we spoke for the people. Silence is not always golden and We will keep speaking up for our people. It is only in the East that you'd see an upcoming artiste with good songs that are so good but has been underground for 15-20years and still counting because there's no sign of help anywhere. Presently, the industry has evolved. Music trends and an Artiste's dominance are no longer determined by a fraction. It is the media that runs the game. Just one song and good hype to back it up and you'll see an unknown artiste becoming the wave of the moment. Now the question is "how many supportive media platforms do we have in Nigeria and how many focus on the East? None We've tried to create this platform with emphasis on the Eastern Artistes. How many of our big industry names have in one way or the other encouraged our efforts in projecting the East? None. They have made names for themselves and forgotten their roots. They failed to pass the Barton to the younger generation that is supposed to carry on their legacies. They failed to raise a generation that would keep the fire burning 😭 This is the major reason entertainment in the East is Stagnant.
