Nigerian music executive Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has revealed how he spent the first significant amount of money he earned from the music industry.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The Mavin Records boss shared the experience during a recent appearance on the On The Grind podcast.

Don Jazzy disclosed that he initially spent his first major earnings on parties and other luxuries rather than investing the money.

According to the music producer, he bought 50 bottles of champagne and went clubbing after receiving the money.

However, he said he soon realised the importance of managing his finances wisely and began investing in businesses, including signing and promoting emerging artistes.

The music executive explained that his investments in record labels and other ventures have yielded significant returns, giving him enough financial security to no longer depend on working to survive.

Speaking on the podcast, he said: “The first big money I got from music I lavished it. I bought 50 bottles of champagne and went clubbing. But I quickly coordinated myself and invested in signing new artistes. Now I don’t have to work ever again.

“You don’t necessarily have to invest in a record label, but the money you are making in your youth, invest it in a lucrative business as opposed to wasting it on frivolities.”

Veteran Nollywood actress Toyin Afolayan, popularly known as Lola Idije, has urged society to stop pressuring women to get married at an early age.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The actress stated that some women may not find their life partners until they are 40 or 50 years old, stressing that marriage should not be treated as a race.

She also appealed to people to stop judging women who raise children without husbands, noting that some become single mothers because of circumstances beyond their control.

Idije made these remarks during an appearance on the Africanlist Podcast.

According to her, not every woman has a husband to support her in raising children, leaving some to shoulder the responsibility of caring for their families alone.

She explained that becoming a single mother does not necessarily mean a woman made a wrong choice, as life can place people in situations they never anticipated.

The actress further questioned the wisdom of pressuring women to marry in their twenties, warning that such pressure could push some into choosing the wrong partners.

She said: “Not everybody will have a husband to help them raise their children. So women have to carry their burden alone. Not all of them choose that life. But if you start pressuring them at 20, how can you be sure that they won’t marry the wrong person? When women start giving birth, they become softer.”
