Celebrity On Air Personality, Omotunde
Adebowale-David popularly known as Lolo 1 of
Wazobia FM thrills listeners with her lovely voice
every now and then. The ebony hued and
vivacious comedienne speaks about her career,
marriage and other issues in this interview with
ORUKPE NELSON
Why do you call yourself Lolo 1 when you are
not an Igbo?
Well, I just know that Nigeria is one and there is
unity in everything. I am a Yoruba girl, so why
can’t I have a little Igbo part of me? So, I am
just being a Nigerian.
How do people react when you introduce yourself
as Omotunde akaLolo 1?
That’s what really sells and stands me out.
People are shocked, they say this is Lolo and she
is Yoruba, I will like to know this woman. So, it
is always a good thing.

What are the challenges of being an On-Air-
Personality?
It is not easy. It is even harder now that we
have started Wazobia Television. I have to wake
up as early as 4am. I think everything is about
discipline and what you want to achieve in life. If
you really know that this is something you want
to do, then, your body will just adjust to it.
There is a price for hard work and there is no
price for it than hard work. I think I have been
doing this job for like 11years but I have worked
with Wazobia for six years.

What stands you out as an OAP?
I think I am an excessively humorous person. I
am a very entertaining person, very in tune with
counselling and people just gravitate towards it
and it works with me perfectly.
How do you joggle roles as a wife, mother and a
broadcaster?
I set priorities. There are priorities to everything.
A woman cannot just be limited to one thing; we
are multitasks naturally the way God has made
us. The most important thing is to set your
priorities and know how to run your home and
you are fine.

How is your daily life like?
Once I wake up, I pray and take my bath. If I am
by myself, I get into my work schedule and I am
off to work. If I am at home, of course I wake
up; attend to the kids and the day starts from
there.

What informed the Oga Madam Live on Stage
show?
Oga Madam Live on Stage is my comedy side
where I do stand-up comedy, drama, skit and
everything. Three years ago, I decided to start a
stage comedy skit show to see if people will like
it, and a lot of people like the show. So, we have
been doing it three years running. I have done
two in London, I am going to be doing the third
edition in May in London and I am going to be
doing the first edition in America soon. Next year,
I am going to be doing a tour with Oga Madam
live on stage.
What makes you proud to be a woman?
I love being a woman because we are natural
multi-taskers. God has given us the soft side of
Him so that means we can feel more than the
men can. As I am doing my job, I could be
empathic, sympathetic, understanding and that
is being beautiful as a woman.

What does it take to attract listeners to a radio
programme?
There is nothing it takes than being yourself,
original and creative. People want to listen to
something they have never heard.

What has life taught you?
Life has taught me that it is an endless circle.

What goes round always comes around.
What excites you about life?
Life makes me happy. People make me happy.
Every time I see the difference that there is in
every individual’s face, I am just amazed at how
people could be so different and yet we are still
humans.

How do you relax?
I read books a lot. I like Christian romance a lot.
I like thrillers and I also like to watch series. I
dance, I sing and I am at home with water.
You have lost some weight. What is the secret?
I have started to exercise. Everybody that knows
me, know that I have dropped tones of weight.
And I think it is good to have a healthy lifestyle.
I don’t diet but I live a healthy lifestyle. I make
better health choices.

YOU CAN SPEND YOUR HOLIDAY IN THIS CITY GREAT JOS

NAME:                JOS

LOCATION:       Plateau state, Nigeria

COORDINATES:  9.8965° N, 8.8583° E






ABOUT

Jos entry

Jos is a city in the Middle Belt of Nigeria. The city has a population of about 900,000 residents based on the 2006 census. Popularly called "J-town", it is the administrative capital of Plateau State.
The city is located on the Jos Plateau at an elevation of about 1,238 metres or 4,062 feet high above sea level. During British colonial rule, Jos was an important centre for tin mining. In recent years it has suffered violent religious clashes between its Muslim and Christian populations in 2001, 2008, 2010, and 2011.

HISTORY OF JOS

Old Jos

The earliest known settlers of the land that would come to be known as Nigeria were the Nok people (circa 1000 BC), skilled artisans from around the Jos area who mysteriously vanished in the late first millennium.[citation needed]

According to the historian Sen Luka Gwom Zangabadt,[2] the area known as Jos today was inhabited by indigenous tribes who were mostly farmers. According to Billy J. Dudley,[3] the British colonialists used direct rule for the indigenous tribes on the Jos plateau since they were not under the Fulani emirates where indirect rule was used. According to the historian Samuel N Nwabara,[4] the Fulani empire controlled most of northern Nigeria, except the Plateau province and the Berom Mwagavhul, Ng as, Tiv, Jukun and Idoma tribes. It was the discovery of tin by the British that led to the influx of other tribes such as the Hausa, Igbo, Urhobo and Yoruba, thus making Jos a cosmopolitan city.

According to the white paper of the commission of inquiry into the 1994 crisis, Ames, a British colonial administrator, said that the original name for Jos was Gwosh which was a village situated at the current site of the city; according to Ames, the Hausa wrongly pronounced Gwosh as Jos and it stuck.[5] Another version was that "Jos" came from the word "Jasad" meaning body. To distinguish it from the hill tops, it was called "Jas," which was mis-pronounced by the British as "Jos." It grew rapidly after the British discovered vast tin deposits in the vicinity. Both tin and columbite were extensively mined in the area up until the 1960s. They were transported by railway to both Port Harcourt and Lagos on the coast, then exported from those ports. Jos is still often referred to as "Tin City". In 1967 it was made capital of Benue-Plateau State, becoming the capital of the new Plateau State in 1975.

Jos has become an important national administrative, commercial, and tourist centre. Tin mining has led to the influx of migrants, mostly Igbos, Yorubas and Europeans, who constitute more than half of the population of Jos. This "melting pot" of race, ethnicity and religion makes Jos one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Nigeria. For this reason, Plateau State is known in Nigeria as the "home of peace and tourism." Despite this, in 2001, the city witnessed violent riots between the divided Muslim and Christian populations, in which several thousand people died. In 2004, the former governor of Plateau State, Joshua Dariye, was suspended for six months for failing to control the violence. In November 2008, clashes between Christians and Muslims killed almost 400 and wounded many. In spite of the communal clashes, visitors are surprised at the amount of activities still going on in the city. There is still an influx of people into the city and the cost of accommodation and land is still going up daily.[when?] This shows that the city is still one of the most desirable cities in Nigeria, despite the communal clashes.

In January 2011 there were almost daily clashes between Christian and Muslim mobs in villages around Jos since a series of bombs had been detonated during Christmas Eve celebrations a month earlier, killing scores of people. In May 2014, a twin bomb attack in Jos killed 118 people.

Between August 2013 and December 2014, a peace process was undertaken by communities living in Jos. The Jos Forum Inter-Communal Dialogue

ultimately led to a "Declaration of Commitment to Peace" signed by the participating communities (Afizere, Anaguta, Berom, Fulani, Hausa, Igbo, South-South and Yoruba, as well as women who were represented as their own distinct community).

On 12 December 2014 at least 30 people were killed as twin bombs exploded in the central Nigerian city of Jos 

Administration
 The city is divided into 3 local government areas of Jos north, Jos south and Jos east.The city proper lies between Jos north and Jos south.Jos east houses the prestigious National Center For Remote Sensing. Jos north is the state capital and the area where most commercial activities of the state takes place although due to the recent communal clashes a lot of commercial activities are shifting to Jos south. The Governor's office is located in an area in Jos North called "Jise" in Berom language,"Gise" in Afizere(Jarawa) language or "Tundun-Wada" in Hausa language. Jos south is the seat of the Deputy Governor i.e. the old Government House in Rayfield and the industrial centre of Plateau State due to the presence of industries like the NASCO group, Standard Biscuits,Grand Cereals and Oil Mills, Zuma steel west Africa, aluminium roofing industries, Jos International Breweries among others. Jos south also houses prestigious institutions like the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), the highest academic awarding institution in Nigeria, the National Veterinary Research Institute, the Police Staff College, the NTA television college and the Nigerian Film Corporation. Jos north is the location of the University of Jos and its teaching hospital.The city has formed an agglomeration with the town of Bukuru to form the Jos-Bukuru metropolis(JBM).


GEOGRAPHY/CLIMATE

climate

Situated almost at the geographical centre of Nigeria and about 179 kilometres (111 miles) from Abuja, the nation's capital, Jos is linked by road, rail and air to the rest of the country. The city is served by Yakubu Gowon Airport, but its rail connections no longer operate as the only currently operational section of Nigeria's rail network is the western line from Lagos to Kano.
At an altitude of 1,217 m (3,993 ft) above sea level, Jos enjoys a more temperate climate than much of the rest of Nigeria. Average monthly temperatures range from 21–25 °C (70–77 °F), and from mid-November to late January, night-time temperatures drop as low as 11 °C (52 °F). Hail sometimes falls during the rainy season because of the cooler temperatures at high altitudes.These cooler temperatures have meant that, from colonial times until the present day, Jos is a favourite holiday location for both tourists and expatriates based in Nigeria.

Jos receives about 1,400 millimetres (55 inches) of rainfall annually, the precipitation arising from both convectional and orographic sources, owing to the location of the city on the Jos Plateau. 
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Jos has a Tropical savanna climate, abbreviated "Aw".

The National Museum in Jos was founded in 1952 by Bernard Fagg, and was recognized as one of the best in the country. It has unfortunately been left to fall to ruin as is the case with most of the cultural establishments in Nigeria. The Pottery Hall is a museum that has an exceptional collection of finely crafted pottery from all over Nigeria and boasts some fine specimens of Nok terracotta heads and artifacts dating from 500 BC to AD 200. It also incorporates the Museum of Traditional Nigerian Architecture with life-size replicas of a variety of buildings, from the walls of Kano and the Mosque at Zaria to a Tiv village.

FULL NAME:                Adekunle Kosoko

DATE OF BIRTH:         {Unknown}

OCCUPATION:             Musician: Singer.

MARITAL STATUS:    Not MarriedADEKUNLE GOLD:BIOGRAPHY

NTRODUCTION  

Adekunle Gold is a Nigerian Urban-Highlife and pop singer, who got signed to YBNL records in 2015 and hit spotlight the same year after releasing several ht singles.





EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND  

Adekunle Gold, who is a graduate of Lagos State Polytechnic with a degree in Graphics, formed a band "The Bridge" with best friend, Seyikeyz, in 2010 and they released four songs "No sleeping on a bicycle", "Norm Breaker" featuring Skales and "All of me" (John legend cover). In 2013, he Left 'The Bridge' to debut as a solo act. Having identified his style of music, he released a song titled "Let it stop", a song about peace for the nation. 

His dad used to play classic songs by King Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey while he drove them to school every day. He developed interest in music from listening to those men.
He wrote his first song at the age of 15 and started out singing in his early teens as a member of the junior church choir.

The popular singer is quite known for his Photoshop skills in the social media back in 2013.

When asked in an interview about his Photoshops and his music career he said:

 "Photoshop is fun; I love the way it makes people laugh and the attention I get. I do not like to be the ordinary guy; I like to be known for something. I made a picture of me hugging Tiwa Savage from behind and when I posted it on Instagram; I was overwhelmed by people’s response. I decided to continue with it and as time went on, bloggers started writing about me, people started talking about it and that increased my fan base. It has helped me meet people that have assisted me with my music career."

CAREER AND LIFE  

In 2014, he released his version of One Direction's 'Story Of My Life", which he titled 'SADE'. This song enjoyed massive airplay and got him signed to YBNL.

When he released Sade, Fuse and the rest of the YBNL crew listened to it and fell in love with it. Fuse insisted Olamide should sign him with the group. He thought about it and because of the good relationship they have, he called him and they discussed the terms. He wanted to feign reluctance when he was told the terms of the contract but he could not help his excitement because it was a good offer.
He mentioned in an interview about him being in the ybnl crew even before getting signed to the label, he said he has been working with Olamide for a long time, He designed the YBNL logo, he did a couple designs for the label before he got signed.

Later in 2015 Adekunle released abother single under YBNL titled "Orente", the song was quite accepted by fans and was quite a hit same year.
Adekunle’s two singles were heavy on storytelling. They both take listeners through a tale of romance, which has been instrumental in the success of both singles. In contrast, the rest of the YBNL artistes are pacy rappers. The singer believes that there is a connection between his genre and indigenous rap.

When  asked about the inspiraton and the success of his hit  single Sade, he said;

The song is my story. I asked a girl named Sade, out on a date three years ago but she didn’t accede to my request. She said she was not ready even though I really liked her. The song is about her and everything I narrated in the song is true, aside from the part where I said my parents were disturbing me. That did not happen.

It’s been amazing how people accepted the song. Sade is everywhere on the streets and in homes. I’m really excited about it. It is one song I never knew would be a hit. People say the lifespan of a hit song in Nigeria is three months; I released it in December 2014 and it is more than three months old already. I feel loved and God has proven to me that He will always be with me. I have always wanted to be heard.

He released the videos of his two hit singles which also gained a lot views in 2015 as the singer video style is loved by many people the singer will definitely say 2015 was a great year for him. 

In same year 2015 Adekunle Gold beat the likes of Olamide and others to cop the “Beat Of Lagos 2015 Award. 
Other music acts in the category include Patoranking, Olamide, Koker and Kiss Daniel.

There were sayings the popular artist is romantically involved with fellow singer "SIMI", there are several pictures of them on the internet they are said to have been together even before fame.
