Faze has earned himself a name in the Nigerian music industry as one of the most sold Nigerian artists of all time with his first album 'Faze Alone' pushing out over one million copies while his sophomore 'Independent' distributed over one million copies before the release date for the album. Till date it has scored 3 million copies making it one of the most successful albums of 2007 and in Nigerian music history. His third effort 'Originality' went platinum in its first month of release. Faze is still known to have hit the highest vocal note by any Nigerian contemporary superstar till date. He also holds the record of being the first Nigerian artist of all-time with three platinum albums consecutively especially after the commercial flop of top artist Tu Face's third album 'Unstopppable' due to lack of proper promotion. Faze's position as the only artist with three consecutive platinum albums was broken by P-Square's Danger album. Faze finished third in Vanguards Naija music (fans favourite) Idol behind Tuface (winner) and P-Square (1st runner-up) beating top acts like D'banj, Asa, 9ice, Ruggedman& Styl Plus. Faze is also one of Nigeria's richest artists earning hundreds of thousands of Dollars yearly. [2] He has recorded songs with international artists Wyclef and Naughty by Nature [3]. He has got lots of awards and nominations.
Even though we haven't heard much from the international star (FAZE) lately, he is going for A tour in france in ther summer of 2013. We pray GOD makes him bigger.

DAVID MOYES EYES LUKA MODRIC

Manchester United are planning a £25m bid to sign 27 year old Luka Modric from Real Madrid after coming to the realisation that they are unlikely to secure any of their primary transfer target, most especially when their bid for Cesc Fabregas of Barcelona fell through.

A MIDDLE AGED MAN SLUMPS AND DIES AFTER DRINKING "PARAGA"

There was confusion at Apata-Ganga area of Ibadan after a 32-year-old man, Taiwo Saidi, aka Akinigai, slumped and died shortly after drinking an alcoholic mixture, popularly called paraga. It was gathered that the tragedy struck at a popular drinking joint at Ago-Igbira, Adifase area, Apata-Ganga at about 10.30am on
Saturday. This young man must probably be fasting because from his name Taiwo Saidi, he probably should be a muslim . Drinking dry gin (paraga) in the morning during fasting is really dangerous because dry gin (paraga) contains above 75% of alcohol ,it is also known as rectified spirit. We pray his gentle soul rest in peace.
