Can you guess the personality of the month we have for you? D.J Spicey! You will find our interview of him interesting. And also within this edition is the gist about the winner of the Nigerian idol season 5, K Peace. These are motivating gists that you should believe in your dream, which only you can either make or break. It is also with heavy heart that we bring you report on a hate crime incident that happened to our fellow brothers and sisters in the diaspora, when a racist white entered their church and shot them all after sitting with them for an hour. You will read more about this deranged fellow whom police were able to catch after a 14-hour massive manhunt. As the new government also settles into the business of leading Nigerians after the pivotal election, we pray our hopes and aspirations as a nation are met and we leave the Nigeria of our dreams to the next generation.

What really inspired you to the job? My inspiration to being a DJ, well first of all i will say my passion for music. i grew up as a music lover. When I was so young i play a lot with my dad’s musical sets then especially his old sets of turntables’ derive so much joy touching and controlling it. So would say the joy I get controlling music, Making people dance and scream when am on set inspires me a lot and always wants me to do more. If you are not a DJ today, what you should had been doing? If I were not a dj i think i will still be in the music business and world. My love for music is too strong so anything in the music world will do for me. Have you ever regretted leaving that to go and be a Dj? Have never regretted leaving anything For DJing cause i have big love and passion for what I do. It makes me happy.
Currently, how will you rate yourself in the industry now? Rate myself?? Lol ahhh!!! ...Will always leave that for people/Fans to do that. Do you have a role model you are looking up too? Role Model? I want to be like Calvin Harris mehn! The richest Dj in the World right now And where do you see yourself in the next 2 years? Well will always work hard, pray seeing myself Growing and Stepping up...No relenting or slowing down. As a club Dj, how have you been able to manage your female fans? You know you just have to love your fans, Be humble and try as much as possible to be welcoming with them cause without them there’s no you. Female fans trying to get too attached run run runaway...Lol! Just kidding. I just try not to lose focus with them. Are you single? Yes single not married but in a re-
lationship Tell us the qualities you look at in woman before you can take her as a wife? Beauty, Good characters (respectful, loyal etc), and good cook then I think all about her health and body system status. If you were to choose one female entertainer as a wife today, who will you choose? If I were to choose a female entertainer as a wife i think i will choose Meagan Why? I just love everything about her People hardly celebrate Dj compare to the way they celebrate the artistes. I guess cause they’re the ones singing the songs and their musical videos everywhere make them get so recognized. Can you tell us the importance of discs Jockey in the entertainment industry? We control the music and spread it all out by playing at different
gigs for the crowd/people...you all know the dj is the life of the party. No dj no solid sweet party cause the dj controls the music that sets the people in the mood. Even if you had no standby dj at your party you will still need some dj mixes to get your party going...you just have to respect the dj. I asked these questions because there is no major award in Nigeria and Africa that has the category for best club dj or best radio dj, what is your intake about this? I think we are having the recognition of awards categories for djs in Nigeria and Africa as a whole now compare to before. We are stepping up but then a lot still needs to be done about that How much impacts will you give the work of DJ in entertainment industry? Will say 70%

Today I didn’t fidget and I looked above their heads just as we rehearsed. Jade is here and mummy’s husband is fine, that son of mine refused eating because he didn’t see me this morning and I had to race back home .I haven’t even given my boss the report on the presentation and am still headed back to the office, I won’t stay long to avoid traffic, I will just brief him and give him the full details tomorrow.” “Mummy can I talk to uncle Tee please”? That’s what Jade calls Terry and he calls her “my Barbie doll”, Terry, Jadesola wants to say hi, immediately he told me to give the phone to his barbie doll and I said am only giving her this phone on one condition, no chocolate talks and am not joking Terry because you don’t do the brushing of her teeth.

Instead you are using the kids as a coverup technique and it won’t work on me if it worked on your kids and Terry.

Pick of the UEFA Champions League season Team: FC Barcelona With Luis Enrique in his first season in charge, Barcelona enjoyed a quite remarkable campaign. By overcoming Juventus 3-1, they became the first club to complete the treble of European Cup, league and domestic cup twice. Their story had a number of fascinating chapters, from Lionel Messi catching all-time top marksman Raúl González, the attacking brilliance of the Neymar-Messi-Suárez trident and Xavi Hernández waving goodbye after 151 appearances to Andrés Iniesta winning a fourth final. “We are the best, as we’ve shown both with our results and style of play,” Gerard Piqué told UEFA.com. Fair comment. Player (group stage): Luiz Adriano (FC Shakhtar Donetsk) Not all the records that toppled this season went to a certain Argentinian and a striker from Portugal. The latter, Cristiano Ronaldo, scored a group-stage best nine last term; Luiz Adriano matched it within 12 months. Even more incredibly, eight of the nine goals came in a fortnight. The Brazilian had already struck in Shakhtar’s 2-2 home draws with FC Porto, a result that left the Pitmen trailing FC BATE Borisov in Group H. No matter – Shakhtar travelled to Belarus and won 7-0. Adriano’s five strikes equalled Messi’s single-game competition record, four coming in an unprecedented sixgoal first-half haul. That was not all, as two weeks later Adriano registered a hat-trick in a 5-0 home defeat of BATE. That was matchday four – not until the semi-finals did Messi and Ronaldo overtake Luiz Adriano’s total. Player (knockout rounds): Neymar (FC Barcelona) Not since Kaká in 2006/07 had anyone other than Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo finished as UEFA Champions League top scorer.

97th-minute goal in the final, Neymar joined the big two on ten to share the accolade. It was at the business end of the competition that he shone. He scored in both legs of the quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain, home and away versus FC Bayern München in the last four and then got the clincher in the Berlin final, a run unprecedented in the UEFA Champions League. Performance: FC Bayern München 6-1 FC Porto There were lots of candidates in this category: Barcelona’s breathtaking successes at Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City FC, City’s own triumphs against Bayern and AS Roma to somehow qualify from their section (not to mention Roma 1-7 Bayern) and FC Schalke 04’s ultimately futile 4-3 victory at Real Madrid CF. However, it is another spectacular Bayern display that gets the honour. Porto seemed set fair for the semi-finals after a 3-1 first-leg win, but in the end they were grateful to only lose 7-4 on aggregate. Bayern had never previously overturned a two-goal deficit in Europe, but by half time they were 5-0 up and Xabi Alonso was to deliver a late coup de grace with a free-kick after Jackson Martínez had given Porto hope. Thiago Alcántara told UEFA “We didn’t think we could stun Porto like that!” Quote: “He stopped everything that came his way, with either his hands or his body – he is a phenomenon.” For once, Messi dishes out the superlatives rather than accepting them graciously after Joe Hart kept him at bay in Barcelona’s 1-0 round of 16 second-leg defeat of Manchester City.
Moment: Danijel Subašić (AS Monaco FC) No team has overturned a two-goal deficit in an away second leg in the UEFA Champions League; only twice has anyone progressed after a narrower opening home reverse. But having lost 3-1 in London to Monaco in the first instalment of their round of 16 tie, Arsenal FC trailed only on away goals after Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey set up a frantic last 11 minutes at Stade Louis II. The impossible seemed more than feasible when Alexis Sánchez flicked on and Giroud connected at the far post. It seemed a certain goal, but somehow Subašić clawed the ball away just before it crossed the line. Monaco held on. “We play like that all the time,” said Subašić. Number: 71 It was a matter of when, not if. Raúl’s longstanding status as the leading UEFA Champions League goalscorer was always likely to go and the former Spain forward would be able to do no more than wave as Messi and Ronaldo soared past him into uncharted stratospheres. Raúl began the season still top on 71 goals, but Messi seized the record on 25 November against APOEL FC. Soon Ronaldo was past the mark too (both in fewer games than the Spaniard) and by the end of the season the players were tied on 77 apiece.
