Music WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Timaya - All the way.

Timaya1.jpg WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Timaya   All The Way
 The Egberi-Papa 1 of Bayelsa; the one and only TIMAYA has kicked off 2011 with a brand new single “All The Way“, and we’re proud to bring it to you guys first-hand! The biggest artiste from the South has put out 3 very successful albums so far, and is now gearing up for the release of a new 2011 album with the Dem Mama Soldiers.
All The Way” is the first single from the currently untitled album. It’s a celebration song for every hustler who has migrated to a big city (in this case, Lagos), and has made it. He goes ahead to cite the likes of 2face, P-Square and M.I as shining examples of those who have succeeded against all odds. Great song in my book! Another guaranteed nationwide hit in the coming months!
In other news, Timaya has parted ways with Black Body Entertainment; the joint-management company in charge of his last album. He’s now pushing Dem Mama Records on a full-blown level.

The American International School, Abuja, has suspended all academic activities till further notice. This follows reports on Tuesday that the school was flouting a federal government directive that all private and public schools across the country remain shut for the period of the voter registration exercise.
In the story, RAY-WEEZY noted that, "Although President Goodluck Jonathan's administration has kept millions of children at home to allow for voter registration in schools, the president's two children and those of other affluent citizens are attending school uninterrupted. The elite school these children attend, the American International School, Abuja, is in full session."
The school's website finally announced the closure of the school yesterday in a message posted by Amy Uzoewulu, the director: "In compliance with the Nigerian Government's directive, AISA will reopen for preschool through Grade 8 on Tuesday, February 1, 2011."
A visit to the premises of the school yesterday found the place devoid of activities and under lock and key, guarded by a few security men at the gate.
A notice, boldly written on a yellow cardboard, in red and black ink, declared: ‘School is closed.' The reason for the closure was not stated, neither was the notice signed. The date of resumption was also not specified.

WORLD PREMIERE: Omawumi – If You Ask Me

Omawumi released her debut album, Wonder Woman in November of 2009 after the success of her single ‘In The Music’ and her popularity/success at the IDOLS West Africa competition where she was voted 1st runner up of the competition. Wonder Woman went on to sell 100,000 copies the 1st week and had several hit songs such as Today Na Today, Ma Fi Mi Sere ft. eLDee, Chocolata ft. Naeto C and more.
After a year working hard in the studio, refining her sound and re-loading for bigger impact after the success of the first album, Wonder Woman, the multi-award winning Omawumi is on the road to her new album.
And to hit it off for the new year, she has released a hot new single called If You Ask Me – a deep, touching song telling the story of an abused child.
This song, which deals with child sexual abuse and takes a musical journey through that painful experience, also complements Omawumi’s work as an Ambassador for Project Alert, which advocates on issues of sexual abuse and reproductive health.

If you did not get her Album Wonder Woman. Go get it.

LEAKED: Kel – Action

As you know she is no longer signed to Capital Hill Music, where she released her debut album and has gone the independent route. However, she still remains good friends with Clarence Peters, the CEO of Capital Hill.
Now to the music. This here is a leaked joint that is not an official single, but more like a warm up joint before the single drops in a few weeks. Nice tune that will definitely get you moving and remind you of the Wa Wa Alright reign especially when you hear her rap. 2011 is about to get more interesting with Kel back in the game.

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has been sacked as manager of Championship club Ipswich Town.

- 0

The 39-year-old Keane, who had been at Ipswich since April 2009, leaves with the club sitting 19th in the 24-team league after seven defeats in their last nine games.
Keane won 28 and lost 28 of his 81 games in charge of the Tractor Boys since taking over from Jim Magilton.
The former Ireland midfielder's departure comes less than a week before Ipswich host Arsenal in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final.
Keane said: "I’m hugely disappointed to be leaving Portman Road. Results haven’t been as good as I’d have hoped so far this season and when results aren’t good the manager gets the sack, that’s the game. 
"However, I have a genuine belief that we were making progress and that the players have what it takes to turn this season around.  We were preparing well for our visit to Chelsea on Sunday and then our Carling Cup semi with Arsenal.
"Getting to that semi proves what I know the team is capable of. I was also working hard to build the squad during the transfer window, looking at our options to attract new players to the club. 
"I have loved my time at Ipswich, living locally to the club with my family, and have a massive respect for the club, its staff, the fans and the community and I wish them well."
First-team coach Ian McParland will take charge at Stamford Bridge.
"We have taken the decision now to terminate his contract having reached the halfway point in the season," chief executive Simon Clegg told a news conference.
"As he (Keane) has said himself on a number of occasions, the performances on the pitch since November have simply not been good enough. In spite investment in the playing staff and a lack of improvement on the pitch, the results speak for themselves."
It is unclear whether a new manager will have been appointed by the time the Gunners visit Suffolk.
"I hope to be in a position to make an announcement regarding the new manager over the coming days," said Clegg.

Serie A - Leonardo back at San Siro with bang.

 - 0

Internazionale's first outing under his stewardship showed remarkable similarities to many of the performances rivals Milan managed while he was their coach last season.
Quality goals, shaky defences and open games summed up his campaign with the Rossoneri and the only big difference in Inter's 3-1 win over third-placed Napoli was the blue stripes on the shirts instead of red.
"It's a very particular situation, but I don't want to analyse it too much because it's a situation you can't understand easily," Leonardo told Sky.
"I don't want to understand it, I want to live it."
Without suspended striker Samuel Eto'o and the injured pair Julio Cesar and Wesley Sneijder, Leonardo had little room to manoeuvre tactically compared to the side that Rafael Benitez left after their World Club Cup triumph last month.
He chose a 4-3-1-2 against Benitez's favoured 4-3-3, with Jose Mourinho having used both formations in last season's treble success, but Inter looked all at sea at times as their enthusiasm to impress the boss meant they left gaps at the back.
Top finishing from midfielders Thiago Motta, who scored twice, and Esteban Cambiasso secured the points despite Michele Pazienza's easy header for the visitors and a clear win over the form team before the mid-season break cannot be underestimated.
"Today we enjoyed our play. The win was thanks to the desire of the guys," added Leonardo, who left new signing, defender Andrea Ranocchia, on the bench.
Inter, who paraded the five trophies they won last year before kick off as their fans unveiled banners thanking Benitez, are 13 points behind leaders Milan with two games in hand but Leonardo believes a sixth straight scudetto is still possible.
"We need to think game by game, taking one step at a time, he said.

Real go through despite defeat at Levante

JaLevante players celebrate a goal against Real Madrid but they lost 8-2 on aggregate.

Real Madrid went down to a 2-0 second leg defeat to Levante, but still eased into the quarterfinals of the Spanish Cup, 8-2 on aggregate.
Levante's two second-half goals by Xisco Nadal and Sergio Gonzalez were not enough to overturn Real's massive first leg advantage, but it was a boost for the Valencia-based side after an 8-0 first leg rout in the Bernabeu.
Last season's runners-up Atletico Madrid, who took a 1-0 lead to Espanyol, are also through after a 1-1 away draw.
But Real Betis put out top-flight Getafe with a 3-1 win that wiped the Madrid's club's 2-1 advantage from last month's first leg. The Seville-based side are now the only lower-tier club left in the competition.
Jorge Molina and a double from Ruben Castrol were enough for Betis with Getafe substitute Francisco Casquero scoring his side's only goal as they lost 4-3 on aggregate.
"They were much better than us. We have been humbled," Getafe coach Michel Gonzalez told AFP.
Almeria scored four first-half goals in a 4-3 win at Mallorca to advance win 8-6 on aggregate while Villarreal made it to the last eight after after beating Valencia 4-2 following their goalless draw in the first leg.
League leaders Barcelona secured their place in the quarterfinals on Wednesday with French international defender Eric Abidal scoring in the 1-1 second leg draw at Athletic Bilboa.
Barcelona, held 0-0 at home in the first leg, went through on away goals.
Defending Spanish Cup champions Sevilla and Deportivo La Coruna also went through to leave a strong quarterfinal lineup.

Kim Kardashian Breaks Up WithGabriel Aubry
Kim Kardashian rang in 2011 by making her first foray into the music world, as the reality TV star premiered her debut single at a New Year’s Eve party at TAO nightclub in Las Vegas.
In a video that captured the song’s unveiling, Kardashian is seen giving the crowd a brief introduction before launching into a new song that advises, ‘Turn it up,DJ!’ “I didn’t mean to, but I did this song with The-Dream, and it’s really fun! I hope you guys like it!” Kardashian, 30, tells the crowd.
Reportedly titled ‘Turn It Up,’ the song features a steady dance beat,R&B-inflected pop production by The-Dream and a percussion-heavy breakdown.
Kardashian, who has parlayed tabloid and reality TV fame (her family is documented on E!’s ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’) into a business empire, also alluded to her musical side project on Twitter over the holidays.
Along with The-Dream, Kardashian is rumored to be working with Kanye West on her forthcoming debut album, after the two were spotted outside a California recording studio on December 28.
Kardashian also posted a pair of photos on Twitter that are believed to be the first images from her first music video shoot: in one, she sports a white fur and “Bo Derek braids,” while the other shows her rocking sunglasses and red highlights.
