Meet DJ CENTELIBA - NIGERIA'S VERY OWN WORLD CLASS DJ.

Talk of celebrities with a difference, this cat has disc jockeying all figured out. I’ve been trailing him for a while and I finally got him to visit Swit Summer studio to grant us this interview. Besides being a friend, a fine boy, and speaking oyibo oyibo english, this dude knows his onions. As far as DJ-ing* is concerned, he’s got it.

Ladies and gentlemen of the world, without wasting much time in wining you, let’s meet our celebrity for the week.

1. We are so glad to finally have you in our studio. Everyone is waiting earnestly to meet you, so please introduce yourself to us.

My names are Adebukunola Adeniyi Sunday aka DJCENTELIBA. I am a mass communicator by profession and a disc Jockey by occupation. Ceo Centeliba Records.

 

 2. When did you first discover your passion to be a DJ and what were the challenges involved in taking you to where you are now?

Back when I was in the university, I realized entertaining people and making people happy via music projection is my God given talent.  As regards the challenges I faced as a rookie DJ, I believe financial capital was a major constraint. In this part of our country the disc jockey business is not considered to be a lucrative business. This is one major challenge we have when trying to secure investors.

 3. So how many years have you been in this game of scratching and what organizations have you joined, to solidify your stand as a registered DJ in the Federal Republic of Nigeria? 

I became a professional certified DJ in 2010, so I believe that's 6 years. I joined (DJAN) DEEJAYS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA IN 2012.

4. I've been in events, where you play and boy you sure can scratch. Besides your equipment’s are super. What drives you to doing the things you do - I mean your motivation?

Thanks a lot for the compliment. My motivation and drive are in 3 categories.

1. God: he keeps me healthy and strong enough to do what I do best.

2. Money: money is essential and discovered a long time ago that the entertainment industry in Nigeria is rising faster than anticipated. Therefore Entertainers will make a lot of money doing the needful.

3. The Big Dream; I want to someday be regarded as one of the most influential DJ in the entertainment industry.

5. Gist us about your recent event please. I know I was suppose to be there and must have missed a lot. I do hope you can release some pictures for all to see.

I'm still mad at you for not coming. Hmm my last party was the Expensive pool party. We had a lot of fun because it was filled with so many side attractions like special barbecue menus, swim suit models, water gun games etc. I'll send you some of the pictures now.

 

6. What can you say to aspiring DJ's out there, who have the passion but do not know even the first step to take in that direction?

Firstly, educate yourself to the best of your capability. Stay focused and always research about other DJs. Never give up on your dreams no matter how difficult things may be.

 7. What words can you leave for your friends, fans and clients, who have supported YOU, all these YEARS?

Thanks a lot for supporting me and helping me become who I am today. May the good Lord also uplift you all in your respective fields?

 8. How can prospective clients reach you? Facebook, twitter, instagram, telephone, whatsapp, bbm etc.

Swit Summer Blog - Frank Nero Ogboso in my own words.

 

He was a friend, infact the best, a brother, son, an events planner, cinematographer, tv host, radio personality to all of us....
In my days of rapping, we used to joke about how we would make history together with him as my manager and me as the artist.

We worked in BlackPride productions together and made tremendous impact together. I remember him always buying me blue Denim jeans and dropping it off at my home every now and then (he knew I loved blue Denims). He didn't have to wait for it to be my birthday, once we got into an argument, he would just show up at my house when he knew I wouldn't be around and drop the gift pack filled with lovely blue denims and t-shirts.

When I'd finally call him to squash the beef he would say "Jojo, use me gym, thats the most you can do to me for offending you" and we would laugh about it and talk about how important it was to take over the world together....

I can go on and on but this I have to say, IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS ALREADY since you left us and it still hurts me everyday. Last time you came to my house, you requested to lend my camera, and that you would return in 3 hours. You never did Frank! You never did...

My mum left some fried rice for you in my freezer on the 29th of December 2011 saying no one should touch it that it belonged to Nero. You even left a

bottle of Vodka in Tony's house, said you were coming back home so you could celebrate together after the new year... YOU NEVER DID HOMMIE.

Social media been writing alot of stuffs about you being poisoned and all... Some say you were CEO of Nure TV when it was infact Nu retro TV (a budding media outfit)... I remember deciding on company names with you after you gave up Black Pride Productions and moved to Uyo.

They say people move on, I have moved on too, but I would forever carry you with me hommie... You were the true definition of a friend...

Got a call from your elder brother KC on the 3rd of January 2012 that you had passed on the 2nd of January 2012 and I almost lost my mind. I remember crying profusely for days into weeks in my room and pinching myself so I could wake up from my slumber but it was true, you really had left us...
 

Frank Nero (1983 - 2012)

Writing this article kinda makes me re - live the great moments I had with you my friend Nero and I'm so honoured to be writing about you. This is the least I could ever do for you hommie... We had been through alot.... and honestly speaking, you touched my life in a special way.....

I miss you Frank Nero Ogboso..

IMEH BISHOP UMOH AKA OKON LAGOS BEARS IT ALL IN THIS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW. CLEARS THE AIR ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH VANESSA KOKO. TALKS AMVCA AWARDS 2016.

I’m sure the name Okon Lagos isn’t new to you. He has earned his stripes in the world of Nigerian comedy and has gone ahead to become a maestro in the industry.

Without wasting your time, here’s another interview with Imeh Bishop Umoh aka Okon Lagos.

Enjoy, braodcast and leave your comments below.

1. Tell us how has it been with you? How does it feel to be @ the fore front of Nigerian Comedy?

I am very well. My family too. I thank God Almighty for his love and mercies so far. It feels great to be at the front line of comedy in Nigeria. I believe everyone shoots for excellence and distinction in whatever he does and for me in the case of my career in comedy, it’s no different. It is a great feeling of accomplishment as well as a sober reflection on how the grace of God has taken me this far. My success also serves as a positive pressure to do more since it is all about the happiness of my fans.

2. We are sure you have been in so many movies, but can you mention about 5? The ones you really enjoyed acting in.

I am very passionate about what I do so I enjoy every second I spend doing any movie. It's really hard to mention the ones I have had fun in to the exclusion of others. OKON LAGOS was cool, OKON GOES TO SCHOOL, OBI IS A BOY, WATERFALLS, A WISH, INTHE CUPBOARD, and many other movies have in them reminiscences that make my moment rock.

3. To you, which of the movies would you say gave you your big break?

OKON LAGOS did it. It was a gamble but at the end of the day it became a smashing hit

4. You know you are an inspiration to a lot of Akwa Ibom actors all over the WORLD; do you by chance reach out to them?

Yes I do. I may not do so satisfactorily because doing so is definitely relative but I do so in the little way I can and I always will.

5. Life as a married man, tell us your experience.

Life as a married man is fun. I have a wife that I love so much who complements my inadequacies as well as a daughter to love and be successful for.
 

6. Female fans, how do you deal with them?

Hahaha... My female fans are wonderful and supportive and understanding. I love them. They love me too. I am their star and they won't do a thing that will put my career in jeopardy.

 

7. There's this photo going viral on the internet with you making the hair of popular actress Vanessa Koko, and a lot of people think you do hair styling part time. Care to elaborate on that one?

Yes that's actually a footage of a movie I did "LOVE IS IN THE HAIR" I was a hairdresser in the film and my dexterity earned me the name "Twelve Fingers"

8. What's the future for you and what are your plans for the younger generation?

I intend to go into production of my own films full swing. I will also set up an academy that will develop to international standards, arts and comedy talents. Many up and coming artistes will benefit.

9. Do you mind telling us why you are standing in a photo with a lot of white people everywhere? LoL

That is me in Frankfurt, Germany. Hahahaha

 

10. What is your ADVICE to up and coming actors/actresses about selling their bodies for movie roles?

Well regarding my own industry in entertainment, I'm not certain of "selling bodies". That will be indirectly saying prostitution is a practice in the movie industry. Most people that come out to do films are adults and are responsible for their thoughts, actions and inactions. If anyone thinks he or she should condescend as low as selling his or her body to God knows who, in God knows which market, then that will be an abysmal and a gross show of low self-esteem, confidence in his or her ability to exhibit his arts. However, I'm not given to the existence of that anomaly majorly in our industry.

11. In the industry today, whose your biggest inspiration?

I have always been inspired by those who had been there before me. Mr Bean, Nkem Owoh, John Okafor, Victor Osuagwu. I have no particular role model. My role model is seemingly ideal. It's a potpourri of all excellent skills of all the great comedians I admire.

12. Now that we know scammers are out to use your name to deal with people, what's the safest medium for people to reach you?

Whatsapp and Instagram for now.
 

13. We noticed that you have been nominated for the AMVCA awards, how can people participate?

You can make me Africa's Comedy Drama King for 2016 by going to www.africamagic.tv or voting at wechat. Or you can just visit this link and vote for me as BEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY MOVIE IN AMVCA 2016 VOTE.
