Mr Eazi’s Silent Wealth: Why the Singer is Richer Than Many “Top 5” Artists

0

Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Mr Eazi has often been underrated in conversations about wealth among entertainers, but new insights suggest that the artist may actually be richer than many of his louder counterparts.

Industry insiders claim that while fans often measure success through flashy lifestyles and online presence, Mr Eazi has quietly built an empire rooted in real investments, particularly in technology and real estate across Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, and other African countries.

“Mr Eazi is actually richer than most of your noisy favorite artists. I won’t mention names, but believe me, that young man is loaded,” a source revealed. “I’ve seen some of his projects, especially in tech and real estate. Have you seen what he has on ground in Rwanda?”

Unlike many celebrities who showcase luxury cars, designer clothes, and extravagant vacations, Mr Eazi is focused on sustainable business ventures. His investment model mirrors that of other quiet wealth-builders like Nigerian rapper Phyno, who is also said to be richer than peers who dominate headlines with flashy displays.

“Personally, I measure wealth by what someone is building or has invested in, not by a flashy lifestyle,” the source added.

The conversation inevitably touches on his relationship with Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola. While critics often highlight Temi’s powerful surname, those close to Mr Eazi argue that his wealth and vision put him in a league of his own. “The only thing Temi has above Eazi is the Otedola surname, nothing else. Yes, Otedola is a bigger name than Ajibade, unless you want to lie to yourself. But aside from that, Eazi as a young man is on serious funds. At this pace, he might even be richer than Femi Otedola by the time he reaches his age.”

Observers note that Nigerians tend to underrate the singer simply because he does not flaunt his riches online. His quiet approach, however, could be the key to his long-term success.

The advice drawn from Mr Eazi’s model is clear: “Build businesses. Let only fellow builders and real investors define your worth, not random people who rate riches by noise, clout, and flashy appearances.”

Mr Eazi, born Oluwatosin Ajibade, has already established himself as more than a musician. He is the founder of emPawa Africa, a platform designed to support emerging African artists, while also securing stakes in various industries across the continent. His story is now being framed as a blueprint for young Africans seeking to build sustainable wealth away from the spotlight.

As conversations about wealth in the entertainment industry continue, Mr Eazi’s understated journey proves that true riches are often quiet, strategic, and future-focused.

Heroic Sacrifice: Family Reveals Chilling Details of Joe Blankson’s Tragic Death on Facebook

The tragic death of Joe Blankson, the Nigerian hero who drowned after saving 13 lives, has left families, friends, and communities in shock and mourning. New details shared by a close family member and friend, Noc Farms, provide a chilling account of the moments leading up to Blankson’s death, offering a deeply personal perspective on the heroic act that captured the attention of Nigeria, Ghana, and the diaspora.

“I remember that day as if it were yesterday,” Noc Farms recounted, his voice heavy with grief. “My cousin and I were meant to join him, but we arrived at the waterfront late. Just as we got there, his boat was already moving off. When we called out, he waved, signaling us to meet him in the village. We took the next boat to Bakana.”

Upon arrival, the shocking reality of Joe Blankson’s bravery hit them. The rescued passengers had been saved from imminent danger, but Blankson himself was nowhere to be found. “We met the rescued persons and asked after Joe Blankson, only to be told he was missing after saving 13 people,” Noc Farms said. “Shock and disturbance overwhelmed us. We waited by the waterfront all day until the Lyalla War Canoe House sent out a search party that night. The night was long and heavy—we did not sleep till dawn.”

The subsequent day brought the confirmation that the nation had feared. Another search party scoured the waters, and eventually, Joe Blankson’s lifeless body was recovered. Noc Farms admitted the unbearable pain of the moment. “When Joe was finally found and brought back for identification, I could not bring myself to look at his body. I wanted to remember him with the face I had known since childhood.”

For years, Noc Farms had not spoken publicly about the incident, but now he shares his reflection and haunting “what ifs.” “I often wonder—if we had arrived earlier, we wouldn’t have taken that boat, and the entourage would have been larger, with more boats traveling together. Perhaps then, Joe would have made it home alive,” he said.

Joe Blankson’s story is a testament to the selflessness and courage that define true heroes. The 38-year-old father and brother sacrificed his own life to save others, displaying a moral courage that will inspire generations. Across social media platforms, tributes continue to pour in from Nigerians, Ghanaians, and the wider diaspora, praising his bravery and mourning the senseless loss of a life dedicated to others.

Local authorities and community members have since commended the coordinated efforts of the Lyalla War Canoe House, whose search parties worked tirelessly under difficult conditions. However, the overarching sentiment remains that of grief and reflection on the brevity of life and the profound impact of one person’s actions.

In his final moments, Joe Blankson embodied the spirit of a true humanitarian. His legacy is not only in the lives he saved but in the enduring memory of a man who chose courage over self-preservation. The haunting account by Noc Farms ensures that his heroism is remembered intimately, beyond headlines and viral posts, as a deeply human story of sacrifice, love, and tragic loss.

As families and communities continue to honor Joe Blankson, his story resonates as a powerful reminder: true heroism often comes at the ultimate cost. May this gentle yet rugged soul continue to rest in peace.

Zoomlion Workers’ Salaries Increased from GHC250 to GHC1200

0

In a major development for sanitation workers in Ghana, salaries of Zoomlion workers have been significantly increased from GHC250 to GHC1200. This adjustment has been welcomed as a long-awaited move to improve the welfare of workers who have been the backbone of the nation’s cleanliness efforts.

Previously, each worker was allocated GHC750, but only GHC250 made it into their pockets. The rest was deducted under unclear arrangements. However, with the new increment, every Zoomlion worker will now take home the full GHC1200, ending years of complaints and dissatisfaction.

The change follows strong advocacy and reforms pushed by Malik Basintale, who has been vocal about ensuring better working conditions and fair compensation for sanitation staff. His efforts have been praised by both workers and the general public as a step toward restoring dignity to the profession.

This increase is expected to boost morale among sanitation workers and improve their standard of living while motivating them to continue playing their crucial role in keeping communities clean. Many see this as a victory for fairness and transparency in public service contracts.

Zoomlion employees across the country have expressed gratitude, with many calling it a “dream come true” after years of underpayment.

Kuami Eugene Does Not Own Most of His Songs – Arnold Asamoah Baidoo

0

Renowned entertainment critic Arnold Asamoah Baidoo has sparked conversation with his latest remarks about Kuami Eugene’s ownership of his music. According to him, the award-winning highlife and Afrobeat star does not own the majority of his songs, which makes it difficult for him to fully grasp why many Ghanaian artistes are opting to sell their catalogues.

Baidoo explained that music catalogues represent one of the most valuable assets for musicians, often serving as long-term investments and revenue streams. For artistes who have full ownership of their works, selling a catalogue can be a strategic financial decision. However, he argued that Kuami Eugene may not entirely appreciate the reasoning behind such sales, since most of his popular tracks are not in his direct ownership.

“Kuami Eugene’s situation is quite different because he doesn’t own a large chunk of his songs. That’s why when conversations come up about artistes selling their catalogues, he doesn’t seem to get the bigger picture,” Baidoo stressed.

The discussion of music ownership and catalogue sales has gained momentum in Ghana, with several industry players urging artistes to secure rights to their intellectual property. While international acts like Justin Bieber and Katy Perry have cashed out by selling their catalogues for millions of dollars, many Ghanaian artistes struggle due to record label contracts and publishing agreements.

Baidoo’s comments highlight a long-standing issue in the Ghanaian music industry—ownership. Without control over their works, artistes risk missing out on future opportunities tied to royalties, streaming, and catalogue sales.

As debates continue, industry watchers believe Kuami Eugene’s case should serve as a reminder to up-and-coming artistes to carefully structure their contracts, ensuring they reap the long-term benefits of their creativity.

Nigerian SHS Student Skips WASSCE Exams to Marry American Woman

0

A young Nigerian student has sparked debate online after reportedly abandoning his West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) to marry his American lover.

The unusual incident, first reported by Nigerian blog Remedyblog, revealed that the student opted out of writing his final secondary school exams in order to tie the knot with a woman from the United States. Videos of the marriage ceremony have since surfaced online, drawing widespread attention and mixed reactions from social media users.

For many, the student’s choice reflects a rising trend among young African men who pursue relationships with older foreign women—often referred to as “sugar mamas”—as a perceived gateway to better economic opportunities abroad. Some commentators argue that such marriages can open doors to international travel, employment prospects, and even permanent residency in countries like the U.S., making it more appealing than the uncertain future that awaits many after secondary school.

However, others criticized the decision, describing it as short-sighted and a betrayal of the student’s education and long-term potential. Critics emphasized that while relocation may bring short-term benefits, education remains a critical tool for personal and national development.

Despite the divided opinions, the young man appears resolute in his choice, prioritizing marriage and the promise of a new life overseas over academic achievement. His story adds to the ongoing discourse about the struggles of African youth, who often weigh the value of education against the lure of migration and financial security abroad.

GJA Executives Call on President Mahama: Ghana to Regain Global Media Freedom Glory

0

Accra, Ghana — In a high-level engagement at the Jubilee House, executives of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) paid a courtesy call on President John Dramani Mahama, where discussions centered on the future of journalism, press freedom, and strengthening media-government relations.

President Mahama, speaking during the meeting, expressed his firm conviction that Ghana will once again reclaim its position as a global leader in press freedom. “Ghana will resume its pride of place as the beacon of media freedom, not only in West Africa but in the whole world,” he declared, drawing applause from the GJA delegation.

The President acknowledged that Ghana’s reputation in media freedom had suffered some setbacks in recent years, with international press freedom rankings highlighting concerns about safety of journalists, political interference, and economic pressures on media houses. He stressed that his administration is committed to reversing this trend by creating a safe, enabling environment for the media to thrive.

GJA President Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, who led the delegation, commended the President’s assurance and urged government to back its commitment with policies that would guarantee journalist safety and independence. He noted that journalists continue to face threats, intimidation, and economic hardships that undermine the profession’s growth.

“Press freedom is not just about laws on paper—it is about practice. We want to see media workers protected, respected, and empowered to play their watchdog role without fear or interference,” Dwumfour said.

During the meeting, the GJA executives raised issues including:

The need for stronger enforcement of laws protecting journalists from attacks. Financial support and tax incentives for struggling media houses. Training opportunities to adapt to the digital era. A call for government to champion transparency and access to information.

President Mahama in response pledged to work closely with the association, emphasizing that democracy cannot flourish without a free and responsible press. He also urged journalists to balance their freedom with professionalism, fact-checking, and adherence to ethical standards.

Political analysts say this renewed commitment comes at a crucial time as Ghana prepares for upcoming elections. Media observers believe the relationship between government and the press will be pivotal in ensuring credible and transparent coverage.

The meeting concluded with optimism, as both the GJA and the Presidency promised stronger collaboration. As President Mahama put it, restoring Ghana’s image as a world beacon of press freedom is not just an aspiration—it is a responsibility to uphold democracy, accountability, and truth.
