I will soon be a name on everyone’s lips – Lisa George

Beautiful singer, Lisa George has only been doing music professionally for two years but already rustling feathers in the industry. She recently released her first official body of work, an EP tagged “Grateful” which contains five songs, namely; Grateful, Girls Abre, ODO, African  Woman and Love is Sweet. According to her, The Grateful EP is one birthed from a place of deep reflection of her feelings and vibe rooted in hope, love and positivism. She talks about her career and music in an interview with an entertainment editor.

What differentiates you from every other female singer?

What makes me different is that I am Lisa George  and that alone is a huge win for me.  I am blessed with a different kind of sound and a message that cannot be ignored.

What’s your take on rivalry among female singers?

When there’s no healthy competition, the game isn’t interesting. However, we should not allow certain influences and personal vendetta get the best part of us. Some school of thoughts believe that a little beef helps the industry but when it becomes a violent kind of situation, we should know when to call it off!

ODO, a track off your EP, what does it entail?

ODO, like you know means love, the sound is all about spreading positivism and more of love than hate. 

And how has the journey been thus far?

My experience so far has been a blend of both worlds.  I have had my own fair share of ups and downs and being here has made me realized that there are vultures waiting eagerly to take full advantage of my inexperience as far as how the industry works and that has helped me to “shine my eye well well” as it has been an eye opener for me and has also made me wiser . It’s also an everyday learning experience and I am happy for the good, the bad  and the ugly because they all have contributed to making my brand stronger.

What’s your plan for the brand Lisa George?

It is every brand’s dream to remain consistent and bankable no matter what and I don’t intend to be left behind as far as Lisa George is concerned. I might not be a household name at the moment, but in a matter of time, I will be on everyone’s lips. That’s the plan and prayer.

Female nudity in videos and seductive lyrics, what’s your take on it 

I believe as a lady, you can dress all decent and still look good and sexy without going nude in videos. I am not a fan of nudity and I would never be found guilty of such in any of my contents.

Music seems to be the easy way out for youths of nowadays, do we say it’s the same for you?

I beg to differ and that’s because I have been doing music since a very tender age of seven and although that might sound cliche,  I make bold to say music has always been a part of me and I am not joining the bandwagon of youths that feel it’s an easy way out!

How teenage girl faked own death to avoid financial pressure from mother

A teenage girl, Margaret Ikumu, 19, of Oni community in Oju Local Government Area of Benue, has faked her own death on social media to avoid financial pressure from her mother.

Image
‘Ginjah Your Swaggah’ crooner, Terry G, whose real name is Gabriel Oche, is definitely not happy with some of his colleagues who parade themselves as gangsters, telling them gangster life is not for everybody. Terry G, who is from Benue State, made this rare post on his Instagram page. In the post, he went hard and blunt. “Everybody is hard until it is that time to be that “gansta”. If you are not from the street, don’t act like you are hard or a gangsta…this (gangster) life is not for everybody, don’t let the gram fool you; focus on yourself, family, loved ones and stay out of the way” Terry G cautioned. Terry G who earlier this year described himself as the “Jesus of Nigerian music”, recently signed a three years recording contract with Basic Entertainment, a relatively new record label, and is expected to release his new album soon.

FG asks churches, mosques, others to submit guidelines for reopening

Image
The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire,  on Thursday, said COVID-19 patients, who spent a long period at isolation centres were at the risk of depression. Ehanire, who stated this in Abuja at the press conference of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, said government planned to deploy psychologists in isolation centres to take care of such patients. At the press conference, the Director General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu,  said the task force was reluctant to adopt home treatment it once proposed because of conditions under which Nigerians live. He also asked professional groups and faith-based organisations, including churches and mosques, to submit guidelines for reopening to the NCDC to review and advise. But explaining effects of long treatment on some patients, the health minister stated, “On the mental health issue of those in isolation, who have stayed a little bit longer, some people do get a little bit of mental depression. ...
