By Yousuph Adebayo Grey| fssinsider.com.ng@ Former President of the Business Administration and Management department who went on to become the President of the Student Union, Mr. Fagbohunre Anthony Adeyemi told me something at a point.

By Yousuph Adebayo Grey| Medium@ The most suitable description for Woli Agba would have been a tetchy, cantankerous and tithe-loving elderly prophet. However, a peep into the life Ayo Ajewole, the man behind the character betrays the validity of that impression. In this chat with YUSUFF ADEBAYO, he gave an insight into his come-up as a comedian, the criticism of his brand of comic evangelism and the purported rift with his brother, Alfa Sule. I could remember the film ‘Won ti Gan Pa’ back in 2002.
By Yousuph Adebayo Grey| Medium@ Folarin Falana, Falz the Bahd Guy is a wonderful rapper. Starting out a few years ago with his funny Yoruba accent, Falz was undoubtedly the hottest rapper in 2016. He understands the organic process to building an artiste. And he has stayed true to his vibe without minding the Nigerian industry market. He actually started out in the UK with ‘Shakara The Mixtape’ in 2009. Though not so well received but he wasn’t demoralized. He has worked with biggest producers then in the UK.
