New Music Of Black Origin (MOBO) Best African Act award winner, Ayo Balogun, who is popularly known as Wizkid, has recently made his mind known on his winning of the just concluded 2011 edition of the awards held in Glasgow, Scotland on October 5.

Wizkid won the coveted award in the category where D Banj, Seun Kuti, Smod, Cheikh Lo, Liquideep, Owiny Sigoma band, Fatoumata Diawara, Vieux Farka Toure and Spoek Mathambo were also nominated in.

Though Wizkid has recently been in the news for the negative reasons when he was alleged to have impregnated a University of Legon undergraduate student named Sola, but this MOBO awards news will now come as a nerve soother to his faithful fans.

Just some weeks ago, he was involved in an alleged leaked sex tape that went wild on the internet like an hamattan fire. Not long afterwards, it was an alleged assault on a female fan at an eatery around Opebi area of Lagos.

In a reaction to his winning of the award, the Holla At Your Boy crooner said, “I am proud of myself, hard work has paid off, i am very thankful.” While stating further, this Banky W’s Empire Mate Entertainment (EME) record label signed artiste, when asked who favourite musician was, he simply said, “Fela.”

Wizkid has now joined the list of Nigerians like 2Face Idibia (2007), 9ice (2008) and Nneka (2009), who have win the award in the past. With this latest by Wizkid, he has now become the youngest artiste to have won this award.

For a young chap that is in his early and rising stage of his musical career, we hope that winning this award will change a lot of things about this fast Nigeria music icon in the making. We wish him the best as he now ride the train of the best African MOBO act.

  Wikimedia Commons It's more than halfway through 2013 and even though the summer is winding down, there's still plenty of time to book a trip to a great destination. We looked at major developments, cultural trends, and global festivals to find the hottest places to travel around the world in 2013.

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

By
This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger  Eldar Murtazin  tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
