“I Have Made N60m Touring 20 States In Nigeria” — Oritse Femi

Oritse Femi whom a lot of people are now forced to reckon with after dishing out hits upon hits has said his story has changed and things are now better for him.

Speaking with a Punch reporter, Oritse Femi said he charges N3m per show and he could do 20states in a row, making him earn about N60m per brand concert. Here is how he explained it in his own words;

“Things have definitely changed. Nowadays, I don’t charge less than N3m to perform at a concert. Sometimes the concerts are funded by multinational companies and we have to tour 20 states.

Multiply N3m by 20 states and you will understand what I am saying. The situation has indeed improved”.

He bagged 4 nominations at the just released

Some of the inscriptions on the placards read, “Re-open LASU now”; “After election, wetin remain”; “LASU students are ready to resume,” and “We want to graduate,” among others.

The crisis ─ a face-off between the Non-Academic Staff Union and the school management ─ had caused the indefinite postponement of the 20th convocati...

The real Olisa Metuh, by PDP workers

There seems to be no let up in the war between workers at the Abuja national secretariat of Nigeria’s main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and members of the National Working Committee, NWC of the party. Workers of the party had yesterday called for investigation of members of the NWC by the anti graft agencies over allegations of mismanagement of N12 billion realised by the party from the sale of nomination forms for the 2015 general elections.

But while responding to the allegations, Olisah Metuh, the PDP National Publicity Secretary had accused the workers of being used by the opposition All Progressive Party.
