DBanj Slams Naysayers, Thanks Fan Who Lists His 2014 Achievements

Dbanj, once touted as one of Nigeria's afri-hiphop pioneers, semingly had his profile plummet this year after he split with former partner and hitmaker, Don Jazzy. The music producer went on to form his own label with Tiwa Savage, D'Prince, Dr. Sid and others. Dbanj continued solo for a while and then also formed his label, Lee Records.

However, many commentators insist that he is not doing as well as Don Jazzy and that the only way Dbanj can climb back into the consciousness of Nigerian music afficionados is to get back with the producer. Dbanj's fans went on the same train of thought today after he shared the picture below.

Tony Blair's GQ Philanthropist of the Year Award For African Charity Gets Thumbs Down

Former UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair was named Philanthropist of the Year last night at the GQ Awards, but many have called him undeserving of the honor. The tribute to Mr Blair on the GQ website read:

‘In 2007 Tony Blair stepped down as prime minister, but his surging momentum’s shown no signs of slowing. Alongside his role as a Middle East peace envoy, Blair’s channelled his energy into philanthropy, establishing three charities.

‘The Tony Blair Sports Foundation pairs volunteer sport coaches with children in Britain’s North East and his Faith Foundation aims to reconcile the three Abrahamic faiths, but his most ambitious is the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative.

'Launched in 2008, the foundation operates in six African countries – Sierra Leone, Rwanda Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Senegal – where teams work alongside government bodies to bridge the gap between African leaders’ visions for a better future and their government’s ability to implement it.'
