In line with its commitment to supporting Nigerian musicians by providing alternative platforms through which they can receive lucrative value for their intellectual property, MTN has announced brand ambassadors for 2016-2017. According to MTN's General Manager Consumer Marketing, Richard Iweanoge, this is designed to enable the company continue to support the development of the entertainment industry by
financially empowering Nigerian artistes and musicians through the promotion and monetisation of content on its various digital platforms – MTN Music+, Caller Ring Back Tunes (CRBT) and Value Added Services (VAS). Music ambassadors for 2016-2017are: Praiz (Praise Adejo); Iyanya (IyanyaMbuk); Chidinma (Chidinma Ekile); Falz(Folarin Falana);Tekno Miles (Augustine Kelechi) and Skale s(Raoul Njeng-Njeng) Four other ambassadors are - Saka,(Hafiz Oyetoro); Nedu ;Osuofia(NkemOwoh) and Adamu Zango. Speaking on this, MTN Executive, Amina Oyagbola said, "MTN remains proud to be associated with the growth and development of the careers of all our ambassadors, past and present. We specially thank all our former ambassadors for their immense contributions to building our brand and making us the network of choice in Nigeria.
We will definitely continue to maintain the strong and mutually beneficial relationship with them through the monetisation of their content on all our digital platforms - MTN Music+, CRBT and VAS." Iweanoge again said, "With the significant investment made so far in Nigeria's music industry, MTN remains and will continue to beone of the biggest supporters of the music industry. We have a track record of consistently providing the stage for some of Nigeria's biggest artistes to shine and express themselves".
He stated that through its Caller Ring Back Tunes (CRBT), MTN is the largest music distributor in Africa. "Through the platform, we ensured that Nigerian musicians would no longer suffer the scourge of piracy. They are able to make good money as a result of their hard work. Also, as Nigeria's most innovative telecoms company, we have been able to deploy music as a platform to give other value added services to our teeming subscribers,which have also proved to be a significant source of revenue for the artistes such as theMTN Music+ app and a host of other platforms."
For MTN, we see the growth of the music industry as a continuum and not a destination. That is why we will continue to engage and support our local artistes so that they can find full expression for their talent. We will also continue to explore other areas of collaboration with ALL artistes through these platforms and many more, as we work to fulfil our vision to lead the delivery of a bold new digital world" Iweanoge, however, posited that for the purpose of keeping alive the original concept of music brand ambassadorship, MTN decided to retain the services of past winners and participants of its Project Fame music reality TV show, which include Inyanya, Chidinma and Praiz. "MTN is particularly proud of these musicians because we not only gave them the platform to express their talent through Project FAME, we have consistently supported them over the years by making them our ambassadors. We are proud to have been able to contribute to some of Nigeria's biggest music acts."
Beyond the Project Fame alumni, Iweanoge also saidthat in order to nurture other artistes so that they too could attain greater heights, MTN wouldstill retain the services of some of its newly-signed brand ambassadors like Falz, Skales and Tekno who are the faces of its youth segment proposition – MTN Pulse. He added that there will be a renewed focus on building MTN's digital platforms.

YouTuber says he can cure headaches in two minutes with just 3 questions

Posted: 01 Sep 2016 12:25 PM PDT

A YouTube user named Kamil who posts under the channel Kamil's View has come up with a novel way of curing a bad headache and all it requires is your imagination and your mind.

He says he can cure your headache in two minutes with just three questions.

In his video, seen more than 1.7million times, Kamil says: "I'm going to ask you a few questions, and I will ask you those questions a few times.

"Every time I ask you the question I really want you to have a look and answer the question."
After instructing the viewer to think about their headache he asks:

"Where is your headache? He then follows this with "What colour is it?" and "What shape is it?"

After repeating the questions four times he says: "By now it should be gone."

Many people who have tried it out have testified to its efficacy.

Explaining how it works, the self-labelled life coach said:

"Most headaches are actually created by you - by your own mind." 

He said this could be through "stressing too much" or it may be made up as an excuse to get out of something.

He adds: "So if you take your attention away from this, the brain gets the message that you're aware of the headache and then you start dissolving it."

He also suggests anyone who didn't find the method worked to repeat it a few more times.

We are however comforted by the real change and progress we have made in fighting corruption and restoring integrity to government; providing security for lives and property; and positioning the government for effectiveness and especially deregulating the oil sector"he said

Aero contractos, First Nation, are not folding up- NCAA says

Posted: 01 Sep 2016 09:56 AM PDT

Authorities at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority NCAA have come out to debunk reports that airlines, Aero contractors and First Nation, were folding up. This rumor followed the suspension of operations by both airlines. The Director-General of the NCAA, Capt. Muhtar Usman, in a statement released today, said the decision for the airlines to suspend their operations was taken so as to ensure that they carried out the required maintenance of their aircrafts.


"The First Nation Airlines on its part is in the middle of an Engine Replacement Programme for one of its aircrafts. Another aircraft is due for mandatory maintenance as allowed by the regulatory authority.
In these circumstances, these airlines clearly cannot continue to undertake schedule operations, hence the inevitable recourse to self regulatory suspension."
NCAA boss maintained that both airlines had not folded up but that they were "merely suspending their operations temporarily to enable them undertake certain operational overhaul and strengthen their overall operational outlay."

'I want Vincent Enyeama back, he's the kind of player we need - Gernot Rohr reveals

Posted: 01 Sep 2016 09:36 AM PDT

New Super Eagles technical adviser Gernot Rohr has revealed that he wants former Super Eagles goalkeeper and current Lille Osc goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama back with the national team.
Enyeama, 34, unceremoniously called time on his Super Eagles career on October 8, 2015 after a feud with former coach, Sunday Oliseh that eventually led to his captaincy being taken away from him and given to Ahmed Musa.
But Rohr, while speaking to journalists during his maiden pre-match press conference at Le Meridien hotel, Uyo said he knows Enyeama's quality having seen him shine for Lille in the last two seasons and wants him back in the squad.
"I asked about Enyeama when I signed because I know his qualities," Rohr told media ahead of Tanzania's game. I also spoke with the goalkeepers' coach Alloy Agu and he spoke highly of him. I've called and spoken with Enyeama since my resumption but nothing is settled yet. I will see him after the Tanzania game because I saw him play in France and he's the kind of player we need to help us move forward."
