10 Nigerian Artistes Who Have Gone International

10 Nigerian Artistes Who Have Gone International The horizon of Nigerian music is broadening, beyond the shores of Africa to the field of global music. Nigerian music is like the new gold causing people of the west to rush to the market. Good for us because with the growing rave around our music; our artistes move steps closer to that very elusive Grammy award. Here’s a list of 10 already internationally recognized Nigerian artistes: 1. Wizkid He might not be the pioneer of this movement but no doubt when you think ‘Africa to the world,’ his name first comes to mind. The sold out concerts and record breaking collaborations speak for him. Wizkid is no doubt Africa’s biggest music export of this age. 2. MC Galaxy The vibe to his songs have somehow transcended across borders. His biggest hit yet ‘Sekem’ received warm reception across many nations. The song was also recognized by the highly sophisticated Hollywood after it was used as a soundtrack on the Disney movie ‘Queen of Katwe

Kante helps Chelsea find their swagger

Image
Chelsea eased the pressure on manager Antonio Conte with an impressive 1-0 win over Manchester United. A wonderful headed goal from Alvaro Morata 10 minutes into the second half separated the sides, though United had keeper David De Gea to thank for restricting the margin of victory. The visitors had their chances but Chelsea, looking assured and confident with defensive midfield dynamo N'Golo Kante back in their ranks, stood firm and were deserved winners. Positives Following the shambolic midweek display at Roma, Chelsea's stars needed to stand up and be counted and put in a performance; to a man, they played for the manager and for each other. Kante's return to the starting XI was always going to be a massive boost and so it proved. Negatives Chelsea should have scored more than one goal. The reason they didn't wasn't just down to De Gea's ability as a goal-keeper -- poor finishing was perhaps more to blame. Bakayoko and Morata were both guilty in this

SELL HIM IN JANUARY! ARSENAL BETTER OFF WITHOUT ALEXIS

Image
The Chilean put in yet another lethargic performance as Arsenal were again soundly beaten by a Premier League top six side at the Etihad Alexis Sanchez was hours away from joining Manchester City on transfer deadline day this summer but his careless and lethargic display against Pep Guardiola’s side on Sunday afternoon showed that Arsenal are better off without their so-called star player. The Citizens are title favourites for a reason and the Chilean talisman would have known that as he weighed up his transfer options. With his contract expiring next year, joining the champions-elect was a decision which made plenty of sense – yet Arsenal’s failure to secure the signing of Thomas Lemar meant that Sanchez was forced to stay put until January at least. Since the move fell through, his body language has often been poor – as has been the perceived lack of effort he has put into some matches. This was again on show during Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester City as the 28-year-old

MORATA SHOWS LUKAKU HOW TO BE A REAL NO.9

Image
The Spaniard netted the winner as his striking counterpart fell horribly short at the other end of the pitch Given the protracted summer transfer saga involving Alvaro Morata and Romelu Lukaku which saw the former end up at Chelsea and the latter at Manchester United, it appeared inevitable that their first meeting would polarise their respective values in one way or another. And on Sunday at Stamford Bridge it was Morata who showed Lukaku how to snap a goalless streak with a quality display of forward play, scoring the only goal in Chelsea’s 1-0 win while Lukaku stretched his run without a goal to 567 minutes. Morata’s wonderful header from Cesar Azpilicueta’s cross in the 55th minute settled a fascinating contest between two of England’s biggest clubs, and it was no coincidence that it came at a time when United had been struggling to clear their lines for any significant period of time. On two separate occasions in the moments building up to Morata’s winner United had dealt

Kante could feature vs. Man United - Conte

Image
LONDON -- Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has said N'Golo Kante is "progressing well" and insisted that he will not be taking a risk if he includes the midfielder in his team to take on Manchester United on Sunday. Kante has been sidelined since picking up a hamstring injury on France duty in early October, missing six matches in all competitions including damaging losses in the Premier League against Crystal Palace and in the Champions League against Roma. Conte said he needed "a lot of patience" not to pick Kante for Wednesday's 3-0 defeat at Stadio Olimpico, but believes the 26-year-old is now close to being available after a full week of training with the first-team squad. "He is progressing well," Conte said of Kante. "I have also tomorrow [Saturday] and then I'll take the best decision for him, for the team. I'm very happy for this. You know very well that we're talking about an important player. "Honestly if I want

Aguero breaks City's all-time goal record

Image
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has broken the club's all-time scoring record, netting his 178th goal against Napoli in his team's 4-2 Champions League win on Wednesday. Aguero scored in the 69th minute in City's Group F match at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples, to go along with goals from Nicolas Otamendi, John Stones and Raheem Sterling to help Man City qualify for the round of 16. The Argentina international has now moved ahead of Eric Brook's all-time scoring tally. Brook played 453 games for City between 1928 and 1940 and led the club's scoring charts since overtaking Tom Johnson's total of 166. Brook's record- breaking effort came away to Bradford City in September 1938. The 29-year-old's record tally has come in considerably fewer performances too with his 177 goals scored from just 262 matches in just over six years at the club. Aguero scored twice on his debut as a substitute against Swansea City in August 2011 following

Dele Alli leads Tottenham to stunning 3-1 win over woeful Real Madrid

Image
LONDON -- Three thoughts on Tottenham's stunning 3-1 victory over Real Madrid at Wembley: 1. Alli inspires Spurs to glory vs. Real He has had to wait for his chance to shine on the Champions League stage this season, but Dele Alli delivered for Tottenham when it mattered the most with a two-goal display to inspire Mauricio Pochettino's team to a famous Wembley victory against Real Madrid. Real, the reigning European champions, were undone and outplayed, with Pochettino out-smarting Zinedine Zidane tactically in this Group H clash. But it was ultimately Alli's contribution that proved the difference between the two teams, with the England midfielder producing his best European performance for Spurs after returning from a three- game UEFA suspension. The 21-year-old opened the scoring on 27 minutes when he raced into the six-yard box to guide Kieran Trippier's cross into the net having beaten Real defender Nacho to the ball. He then made it 2-0 early

14-Year-Old Russian Model Collapses & Dies After 12-Hour Fashion Show In China ( Pics)

Image
A 14-year-old Russian model has died after suffering from "utter exhaustion" during a three month modeling assignment in China. Vlada Dzyuba collapsed and slipped into a coma after a grueling 12-hour fashion show in Shanghai. Sadly, she never regained consciousness and died two days later. She was found to be suffering from chronic meningitis. The teen was allegedly on a "slave labor" contract and had been too afraid to seek medical treatment when she got too sick. Officially she was only allowed to work three hours a week. The Siberian Times reports that the girl's temperature soared moments before she was set to go out on the catwalk for the fashion show. Her devastated mother Oksana said: "She was calling me, saying 'Mama, I am so tired. I so much want to sleep'. "It must have been the very beginning of the illness. And then her temperature shot up. "I didn't sleep myself and was calling her constantly, begging her to go to ho

Borussia Dortmund's Gabon forward Aubameyang, who won the award the season before Mahrez, Liverpool's Senegal international Mane and Manchester United's Ivory Coast defender Bailly are among the 30 nominations. Egyptian goalkeeper Essam El Hadary, 44, is also on a list largely dominated by players employed by European clubs. Liverpool's Egypt international Mohamed Salah, RB Leipzig's Guinea midfielder Naby Keita, Chelsea's Nigeria international Victor Moses and Ghana defender Thomas Partey, of Atletico Madrid, are also contenders.
