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.

50 life lessons you can still learn now that your young.....

You’re stronger than you think you are. Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal. There is nothing to hold you back except you. You can press forward long after you can’t. It’s a matter of wanting it bad enough. No matter how much progress you make there will always be the people who insist that whatever you’re trying to do is impossible. You are limited only by your own imagination. Let it fly.

There is only one question to ask yourself: “What would you do if you were not afraid?” It’s often hard to tell just how close you are to success. The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake. Never let success get to your head, and never let failure get to your heart. You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how ...
