This is certainly the trend for dreadlock
carrying entertainers. Timaya, Pasto Goody Goody, Terry G have all shaved their
dreads and today, self-styled Otuekong Ikwo Akwa Ibom, Icekid Banton followed
suit and visited the salon too to take off his dreads of many years. He dropped
a personal message on his BBM “Dada down 4 millions of Naira”. How do you see
his new look?
Maybe this is the trend now. The Lagos based musician has cut off his dreads.
This is not the first time the veteran crooner has shaved off his dreads in
recent years. Meanwhile, he is currently working on a new video.

took part in the carnival and there were notable faces, especially in the entertainers
bands were budding singers Feelingz, Indigenous MaliQ, Pop Don X, and AK Smuth

The picture
above shows when men of now-a-days and the ones holding it down in Nigeria’s
entertainment industry now were young guys. I guess this must be Ajegunle. See
Kingsley “Okpokette” of the now defunct KC Presh, see Bright Okpocha a.k.a Basketmouth (below) how him bin
dey look like.
Arguably the
hottest all-entertainment newsmagazine East of the Niger, E-101magazine recently
hosted a welcome back party for Nsikak Umoh a.k.a Bonic who made it to the Top
30 of the Nigerian Idol Season 2.
The event saw
top music ace including Pasto Goody Goody, O’giveR, Zillions and comedy king
Sir James thrilling the audience at 2nd Baze.
Listeners of good Naija music will remember him from way back when he
did a track called 'dreaming About You' feat Pasto Goody Goody. The track was a 'radio
killa' and its video received a lot of airplay on many African Music platforms.
Now, its 2012 and Mr. Slam is staging a comeback. Armed with a double single
from his forthcoming double album, the singer displays his dexterity and
maturity with the release of these singles. His sound has evolved and is for

If there was any other word than
“hottest” that would have best describe these single guys, I would have used.
They are hot in the strictest sense of the word. These are men who have
distinguished themselves in their chosen endeavour. They have the cash to
spend, they’ve got the fame, well connected in scheme of things within and
outside the state and are ladies’ men any time and any day. But even with all these
achievements, they, for some reasons best known to them have decided to remain
single. There are many bachelors in the state who have the money and all other
favourable conditions to become married men but IFREKE NSEOWO (Editor-in-Chief) dug deep and bring you the best amongst
the hottest bachelors AkwaIbomState
have got at the moment.
Fadabasi: Fadabasi is one celebrity bachelor who is still single. He
has been in the spotlight since 2006 when he dropped his monster hit- Abasi
Ayaiya which was used for the F.C.M.B advert that went as far as CNN and played
on-board international flights.
For the ladies who love a blonde
dreaded fellow with broad shoulders and a six pack; then you have a diamond in
the sky as the description is a lyrical picture of the pioneer rock act in Nigeria.
Fadabasi who grew up in Lagos, studied
Communication Arts in the University
of Uyo then University of
Cross River, worked in an oil company before retiring to pursue his music
dream.
One of Akwa Ibom’s biggest boys in the music
industry, Pasto Goody Goody is set to return to Lagos which is the hub of entertainment
industry in the country. Goody dropped the hint in an interaction with Connoisseur.com today. He said his return was necessary in order to return himself
into reckoning in the industry.
