RECOMMENDED READING: Signs that she is into You!
We all know that there comes a time in a
relationship when ask ourselves this “Is he into me as much as am into
him”? or “How can i tell if he likes me”? Well below are tips and signs
stating when a guy is really into his chick. This applies for all men,
white, black, albino, crustacean etc… lol.
How often does he call or text you.
Trust me, no matter how busy a guy gets
if he’s into you he will make time to call or text you. Remember how
busy you get and still get time to send a text? Well the same applies
for a guy that is serious minded about a relationship. If he doesn’t
call or text, Do Not respond by calling or texting him, it’s no use and
you don’t want to be that “stalkish chick” who can’t just leave him be.
It’s time to move on.
He Lets You In.
Have you been dating for a few weeks and
you are yet to meet with his friends? Then there’s a little problem. If
he keeps hiding you from people he knows, that means your not that
important to him. Hence, you are not qualified to meet those important
to him. Moving On!
He Dates You.
A guy who wants you, would really “date”
you. He would want to get to know you and be seen with you. Not just
have sex and watch TV with you. It’s best not to have sexual relations
with a guy you like till you both get to know each other at length.
He Shows How Much He Likes In You Public.
He holds your hand in public, doesn’t
hesitate to peck you on the cheek or give you a full one on the lips.
Doesn’t give you the “i don’t like public display of affection line”. If
he doesn’t do all that you are in trouble oh! Never settle for less
when it comes to relationships, although compromising for other things
is also good in a relationship.
Constantly Talks About His Ex.
If he’s talking commitment with you and
trust and a few months into the relationship settling down with you,
calling you his wifey or girlfriend. He is into you. On the other hand,
constant talks about his ex, how much fun they both had, heart breaks
etc… If a guy is into you all that won’t even cross his mind. He would
be really into You!
Dating can be so much fun with the right
person. Do not settle for less when it comes to a relationship with a
guy you like. He must equally do the hard work to make IT work.
In Nigeria, new stars are been made everyday, but the fact that Record Labels is one factor that makes the entertainment juicy cannot be overlooked.
There are a handful of record labels in Nigeria churning out fresh good crop of artistes that are well talented and marketable year in year out. As a lover of Nigerian music, I have been following and keenly observing the way and manner in which record label CEO’s in Nigeria has been piloting the affairs of their label in order to create a niche for themselves over the years.

5. Y.B.N.L (Yahoo Boy No Laptop)
No doubt, Y.B.N.L is one of the trending record labels in Nigeria at the moment. The label was established in 2012 by by Barigga street boy Olamide Adedeji popularly known as Olamide a.k.a “Badoo”.
Since the conception of the label, it has transformed the Nigerian music industry to a greater extent. The label is home to some fast rising acts in the Nigerian music industry like Lil Kesh “Keshi”, Viktoh, Adekunle Gold and the duo which recently inked a deal with the label, Xino and Chinko Ekun.

The Made Men Music Group popularly known as TripleMG was founded by the duo of Iyanya Mbuk popularly known as Iyanya and his manager Ubi Franklin.
Since after winning the MTN Project Fame in 2008, the “Kukere” crooner Iyanya is unarguably said to be one of the A-list artistes to reckon with in Nigeria having worked hard to carve a niche for himself.
With Iyanya been the lead act on the label, the label also houses artistes such as Tekno, Selebobo, Emma Nyra and Baci.
The label also has an album to her credit “The Evolution” by various artistes on the label. The album was released on May 29th 2014 with production credits to Selebobo, Tekno and DJ Coublon. However, Selebobo mixed and mastered the album.

Formerly, the label has housed artistes such as Jeremiah Gyang, Brymo, and Jesse Jagz. Djinee and Asa are also top-notch Nigerian acts that the label has done great works on their music career.

2. Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E)
Olubankole Wellington popularly known as Banky W founded E.M.E in 2002 while studying at a local university in Albany, New York.
After returning home in 2008, Banky W established E.M.E in Lagos. Wizkid became the first act to be signed to the label in 2009 and later on Skales was also signed same year. In 2012, Shaydee, Niyola and DJ Xclusive who is the label’s official DJ were all signed to the label.

In february 2014, Skales also parted ways with the label on the grounds of the expiration of his contract and an agreement was reached between the label and the “Mukulu” crooner.
