And when it's out of your control, There's not much you can do about it at that point but learn lessons & do better next time.. Truth be told, we take a pay cut while attempting something like this. A serious one. But that's okay cuz of the love the fans have shown us. And the love we have for them in return ', he explained.

Dana crash victim’s corpse missing in mortuary

The family of retired Assistant Comptroller of Fire Service, Mr. George Moses, a victim of the June 3 Dana air crash, has said that his corpse is missing from the morgue, adding that they could not understand how a corpse they had earlier identified in the morgue after the crash suddenly developed wings and varnished into the thin air.

A member of the late Moses' family, Mr. Achief Olajide, who spoke to journalists yesterday in Lagos, said in June, the name of the victim, was among the 29 identified names pasted at the Lekan Ogunsola Memorial mortuary of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Ikeja.

Olajide, who showed documents to support his claim, said,  "After the June 3 crash, we came the following day to the mortuary to identify the body. I entered the morgue, saw Moses' body and it was intact and he was also identified by his ID card which was in his wallet.

"We were asked to wait at the hall for briefing. Professor John Obafuwa brought out the list of identifiable bodies which was up to 29 names. My uncle's name was number 22 on the list.

"The professor asked us to bring the photograph of the deceased. We brought the photograph, but the professor changed his word that the deceased's body cannot be released again that they were going for DNA testing. After two months, we were called that the result was out."

Olajide said the family was jolted on Tuesday August, 7, after announcement of the arrival of the  DNA test results from the United Kingdom. He said the name of the late Moses was not on the list pasted at the mortuary.

Headies announce M.I. & Omawumi as Host, Scheduled for October 20

Singer-songwriter Omawumi Megbele and hip-hop icon Jude 'M.I' Abaga have been announced as hosts for the 7th edition of The Headies - Nigeria's biggest music honours event.

Announcing this today, executive producer Ayo Animashaun says the pair   have been selected in line with the awards' tradition of picking talented and inspiring entertainers, to front an awards ceremony that parades some of the continent's biggest entertainers.

"It's a very important year for us at The Headies, and for the Nigerian music industry in general', Animashaun, who founded the awards in 2006 says.  "And we found in M.I and Omawumi, two great entertainers who are very passionate about the awards, passionate about their work, passionate about the music business and a great source of inspiration to young, up and coming artistes, because of their peculiar stories climbing up".

Omawumi, 30, came second on West Africa Idol, in 2007.  Her success on that show provided a strong foundation for her career, and she hasn't looked back for a minute. With her debut single  'In the music'   released in 2008, she established herself as a talent to court, and a singer whose eyes are on the global stage. The success of that single, won her the coveted 'Next Rated' prize at The Headies in 2009. The award came with a brand new KIA Optima. Omawumi has moved on to become a remarkably successful singer, actor, performer and philanthropist.

Omawumi's co-host   M.I, has risen from grass to grace, in just about half a decade. And, from a Jos-bred wanna -be, who worked hard to find a niche in the hip hop community, M.I has now become the leading rapper and hip hop ambassador on the continent, with many medals to show for his achievements. The Chocolate City rapper is a multiple winner at The Headies, with his prizes including Best Rap Album and Revelation of the year (both in 2009). He has won a total of 9 Headies, starting from his first surprise win in 2008.

'I won my first Headie when no one knew who I was' M.I says. 'It was a big leap for me and my career and I can say the same for a lot of my colleagues. Several years after, I'm excited to be here, performing in a very important capacity, along with my very good friend Omawumi'.

"You know one of the things over the years that have been traditionally so great about the Headies awards is the fact that they do two things well. They merge the aspirational aspect of entertainment with the inspirational aspect of entertainment. You take us to the villages, we meet people where they don't really have water we've done that. At the same time you take people to Brazil. A young person can look and be inspired and also aspire too," he concluded.

Both acts have already been getting together, sharing ideas and fine-tuning concepts, along with The Headies  producers, in anticipation of a great show this year.

'It's been fun, fun, fun for me' Omawumi comments. 'From the photo shoot to all the meetings, rehearsals, fittings and interviews, I can see that I'm going to have the fun of my life. And I promise this year's guests will have even more fun.  Me and M.I   go craze!'.

The Headies 2012 will hold at the Eko Hotel and Suites on Saturday October 20.

Now in its seventh year, The Headies (also known as Hip Hop World Awards) is Nigeria's premiere honours event for urbane music and hip hop culture. Produced and presented to match some of the biggest awards shows from around the world, The Headies annually celebrate deserving Nigerian music stars, giving honour to whom it is due, and encouraging many to step up their game in order to enter The prestigious Headies alumni.
