The Nigerian music industry is growing by the day. Take it or leave it, the industry is a money spinner. According to the report in 2016, the Nigerian music industry was worth $40m (N11bn) in 2011 and $47m (N14bn) in 2015. By 2020, this figure is expected to hit $86m (N27bn). Excellent. However, there is danger. The negative influence of drug, sex and violence-preaching musics is eating deep into the morality of the industry. More artistes are rising, with the idea that they can sing about anything, even if it lacks any positive message. Some are subtle, while some are brazen. If your child happens to be in love with any of the brazen types, then you need to show urgent concerns. Here are five of such songs that are supposed to be marked +18 Adults. If your child is listening to any of them, know that there’s fire on the mountain!   1. Pass the Agbara by Sk

Nigerian actress Empress Njama has also decided to voice their opinion on the issue of domestic violence. She however, seem to be the one of the few who has decided to fight for the men.

record number of French voters cast their ballots for nobody in the presidential election won by centrist Emmanuel Macron A total of 4,066,802 people — nearly early 9 percent of voters — turned in blank or spoiled ballots Sunday, according to Interior Ministry. That’s the highest number since the Fifth Republic was founded in 1958. The “ballot blank” as a protest vote dates to the French Revolution. Also, a record 12,041,313 of people registered to vote stayed away from the polls — the highest number of abstentions since 1969, when conservative candidate Georges Pompidou crushed centrist Alain Poher. In all, nearly 17 million people didn’t vote for either candidate — which is 33 percent of the eligible voters. It was 24 percent in 2012. That’s more than the 10,637,120 who voted for far-right candidate Marine Le Pen. Macron received almost double the number of votes — 20,703,694. At 39 years old, he will be France’s youngest president. The non-vote sentiment grew in

Medical samples from four of the victims of a disease in Liberia that initially baffled scientists have tested positive for a type of meningitis, the minister of health said. So far a total of 31 cases of the so-called mystery illness has been reported, including 13 deaths in an outbreak linked to the attendance of a religious leader’s funeral. While the symptoms are different from Ebola, the sudden deaths nevertheless stirred anxiety about an outbreak of the tropical illness which was often spread through burial rituals in the West African epidemic that ended less than a year ago. Seven specimens from the deceased tested positive for Neisseria meningitis, a particularly contagious type of bacteria, Dr. Bernice Dahn told reporters. “Based on these initial results from the U.S. Centre for Disease Control, we believe that we are dealing with a probable outbreak of meningitis in Sinoe, which spread to Montserrado and Grand Bassa counties,” she added while calling for

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said his side were “another little step” from the Premier League title after they crushed Middlesbrough 3-0 to move to within touching distance of glory. Tottenham Hotspur’s surprise defeat at West Ham United last week handed Chelsea the initiative and they can now seal a second title triumph in three years if they win at West Bromwich Albion on Friday. “We’re very close. We must be honest. But we need to do another little step and win another game,” Conte told reporters after Monday’s match, which condemned Middlesbrough to relegation. “For sure now I’m a bit relaxed. This step was big for us, a big win. “Now we need to do another step. We have the possibility to do this on Friday against West Brom. “For sure it won’t be easy, because West Brom is a really good team, a physical team, and we must pay great attention. “We are very close, but we need another step to become cham

Did Donald Trump’s contested travel ban deliberately single out Muslims? The US administration fiercely denied it during an appeals court hearing Monday — despite the president’s campaign call for a blanket Muslim ban. The hearing came as Trump seeks to bounce back from a series of stinging judicial defeats over his controversial effort to bar travellers from half a dozen mainly Muslim countries. The question of intention is key since the US Constitution forbids religious discrimination. Trump’s detractors say it is beyond doubt that Muslims were the ban’s intended target, but the administration says it is motivated strictly by national security concerns, an area where US presidents have wide powers. Trump “never intended for that to discriminate on the basis of any particular religion,” Jeffrey Wall, the US acting solicitor general, told judges of the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond during an intensely argued afternoon heari
