    Don Jazzy acquires new luxury mansion

    Record label boss cum music producer, Don Jazzy has acquired a new luxury mansion in Lagos.

    The showbiz impresario broke the exciting news to his fans via an Instagram post on Friday.

    “Added this new crib to the portfolio. Shhhhh my new neighbors are sleeping,” he wrote in the post alongside pictures of the mansion.

    TheNewsGuru reports that the two-storey mansion is located in the highbrow area of Lekki in Lagos.

    Over the years, Don Jazzy has established himself as a prominent brand in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that the entertainer recently said that he cannot be in a relationship with just one woman without being attracted to others.

    “I don’t believe I’m strong enough to be with one person, so I think people will run away from me being truthful. I will not be dating you and telling you that you are the only person,” he had said.

    “Some people have the strength, once they are attracted to somebody, the thing that makes you get attracted to other people will turn off.

    “I hail you people but…You are a beautiful lady, but it doesn’t stop me from admiring madam over there. She’s still beautiful too.”

  • Electricity still a luxury in Nigeria – Kyari

    Electricity still a luxury in Nigeria – Kyari

    The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari shared his disappointment with the state of power generation in Nigeria, urging for an alternative.

    Kyari attended the Nigeria International Petroleum Summit which provided an opportunity for the signing of a $1.1 million grant between Nigeria and the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) as part-funding for the Abuja Independent Power Project (IPP) in Abuja.

    The NNPC chief lamented that Nigerians are still struggling to afford a day’s meal and that electricity is now “a luxury” exclusive for the elite. He added that the challenges of the power supply must be addressed before Nigeria can go into renewable energy.

    He said; “For this country and very many of us in sub-Saharan Africa, what we worry about today is actually the meals of today. There are many who can’t afford a meal a day. And of course, electricity is largely a luxury; it’s only for the elite, like all of us here.

    “It is the dream of very many to have I-pass-my-neighbour in their homes. When you say, ‘do not use fossil fuel,’ but you have not provided alternatives. The world has not looked at their situation. The world has not recognised that there is abject poverty in the communities.

    “We have to resolve the issue of electricity so that we can talk about renewable energy in the future and reduce the use of fossil fuel that has a high impact on the environment. We know that there is an energy transition in the world. With time, there will be less dependence on fossil fuel.

    “We have gas in abundance, we must create an infrastructure that will help create gas for power generation.

    “We need the power to create jobs and we must create prosperity so that we can have peace in our country. We are grateful for this grant.”
