Festus Adedayo LIf credentials and academic certificates/laurels approximated excellence, by now, applauses to President Muhammadu Buhari for his choice of Ibrahim Agboola Gambari as successor to the late Abba Kyari as his Chief of Staff should be reaching their crescendo. Rather, the high-caliber diplomat and academic, who studied in respected universities of the world, has literally been suffocating under torrents of heavy lacerations he receives from invectives heaped on him since the appointment. Kudos must be given to Buhari however for, for the first time since he got the reins of governance five years ago, deploying the stratagems of a military officer.

As usual, we've brought to you, a run-down of these songs. Fresh as they are.   WurlD – CAN'T COME OUTSIDE  WurlD has always experimented with sounds . His latest tape sees him combing the melodies of two genres, and this song, whose title reads as a message for the times, is a beautiful demonstration of this ' AFROSOUL ' sound. Mōnki Bznzz ft. Mon Lee – Light's Out It was difficult to choose a song off producer's Mōnki Bznzz's excellent new EP, Banana Peel Vol. 1 . But this song, the opener, is strong contender, an EDM appropriating production on which Mon Lee's strong songwriting and delivery shines. Culture-shifting music, this. Odunsi (The Engine) ft. Amaarae, DETO BLACK & Gigi Atlantis – body count  Alté roya...
