"My type of music was not liked in lagos" - Flavour

Chinedu Okoli popularly known as Flavour, told his story about his journey to stardom, which was not an easy ordeal, but all the hardwork paid off as he is able to fulfill his passions.

He ran away from home to find greener pastures

"When I left Enugu for Lagos, many studio men and music bands turned me down on the grounds that they didn't understand my type of music. I found out that Lagosians have this type of music that they like.
They didn't like my type of music until later. It was that time we used to go to joints on Saturdays to sing for big men. I caught their attention first before I later switched to highlife. They liked it and even sprayed me money"

He was able to record his first track in 2003, but the quality wasn't nice to him, so he waited for four years to improve.

"I recorded my first track in 2003. I listened to it, didn't like it and discarded it and took my time. I felt I needed to be patient and not rush to fame. I didn't want people to reject my song. Then I worked for fours, after which I went back to music in a very big way in 2007."

He is finally accepted not just by Lagosians and Nigerians but also internationally. Patience and hardwork truly pays.

9 Month Old Boy Faces Attempted Murder Charges

picture of Baby Musa screaming at court as his finger prints is being taken by a court official.

A nine month old baby boy called Musa Khan was charged by the police force in Pakistan for allegedly assaulting security operatives in a Lahore slum in February 2014.
Does this baby look like a murderer? lol

The baby Musa was taken to court and charged with attempted murder along with his father and grandfather.
The police said they prevented some workers of a gas company from disconnecting the household's gas supply after they failed to pay their bills by throwing stones at the workers.

Musa was said to have cried and screamed during the court session until he was given a bottle of milk.
The lawyer defending the family argued that under the Pakistani Law, children under the age of seven cannot be prosecuted.
And the judge in charge of the case ordered the police to make an explanation for charges, while the Chief Minister of Panjab Province, Shahbaz Sharif, has directed an inquiry into the matter.
Fortunately, on Saturday the charges against the nine month old boy were dropped.
the defense attorney Mr Irfan Sadiq said "Police told the court that the nomination of Musa in the case of attacking police officers and the gas company officials was a human error"

Musa's grandfather told reporters that, "He doesn't even know how to pick up his milk bottle properly. how can he stone the police?"

We learn everyday. I learnt something new today while watching a TV program, though I've heard it before, but I never get to understand it better, what I Learnt today is.. 'failure is instructive'.

I've also heard when you fail, rise up, dust up yourself and try again.

But today I get to understand what it really implies, like my mentor ma'am Funmilayo Mide-Ajala told me, I should try to be patient, and don't give up at the slightest failure or discouragement. she got to know me in a few minutes chat we had. and it got me thinking, she's good at what she does, for she to be able to understand me in just a few minutes, and give pointers that I could relate to.

Failure truly is instructive, perseverance is key to growth. because when you fail, you not only dust yourself and move on, you also get to know where you went wrong, learn from it, straighten your ways before you try again.

All these requires patience, faith and ofcourse believing in yourself.

Family is also another requirement. I always bring in families because without them, we can't say we are whole, our families are our trademark. friends are important as well, they are our go-to when we need to chat, gossip and relate some stuffs we tend to keep from our families. But it's best to choose your friends wisely.

So in all, try to learn from your failure, don't waste time looking for who or what to blame. 

Have a great week ahead!

And also have a fabulous month ahead!

😘
