Olaniyi Israel Adewale, a student of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), has completed a 200-hour drumming marathon to set a new world record by an individual.

Adewale, also called Enny Percussions, began a 150-hour attempt on April 29 — using an African talking drum.

After hitting the 150-hour mark, the 300-level computer science student decided to undergo another 50 hours of drumming.

Adewale said the Guinness World Records (GWR) acknowledged and approved his attempt.

“My deepest appreciation to every one who showed up, reposted, shared, engaged, comment, tell friends about this, and those who were cheering me up during live sessions,” he wrote on Instagram after concluding the feat.

“I am honestly not taking this love for granted, ofcourse beating African talking drum for 200 hours is the most challenging thing I experience as a percussionist, because this was the first time I am doing this.

“Thanks to Guinness world record @guinnessworldrecords for granting me approval to do so.

“Special thanks to @mlpercussions For sponsoring this official attempt, sent me cash and other materials to energize my interest on this new achievement, thanks to you sir, God will continue to enrich and bless you beyond measures ijn.

“And I must openly appreciate a great man with the oil of gladness who showed his impact on this challenge, I would never imagine @woliagba_ayoajewole will acknowledge and repost on his page I sincerely will ever appreciate this greatly sir, and thanks to all notable and loved Celebrities who engaged… Omor, I can’t start mentioning names.”

Simi, the Nigerian songwriter, has revealed why she named her song ‘Men Are Crazy’.

In April, the songwriter teamed up with Tiwa Savage to release the song — which stirred mixed feelings due to its title.

Simi, on the recent episode of Way Up with Angela Yee, said she chose ‘Men Are Crazy’ as her song title because she knew it would attract massive engagement from the opposite sex.

The singer said she initially had no intention of explaining her reasons for the title because people would understand better when the song hit streaming platforms.

Simi also acknowledged that the online reactions to the title increased anticipation for the song.

“You know it is actually very interesting. When we put out the name for the song, I think it was about a week before the song actually came out,” she said.

“So Tiwa and I posted like pictures from the video and we just posted men are crazy out and the men went crazy. I honestly was not going to go on an explaining spree at the time.

“I was like when the song comes out, they would understand what I am trying to say. Obviously, that also contributed to the PR or the rollout of the song.”

Skales, the Nigerian singer, has compared himself to King Solomon in the Bible while revealing he has dated “about 100 women”.

King Solomon was a monarch of ancient Israel who married 700 wives of royal birth and had 300 concubines.

Skales spoke about his intimate relationships with women when he featured on Drip Check At The Nike Store show hosted by Sheye Banks.

The 33-year-old singer said he had access to women and “could not get enough” during his teenage years.

He added that he would have been on the same path as King Solomon if it were not for his status as a married man.

“I have dated about 100 women or so. If I was not married I would probably be on the King Solomon path,” he said.

“Let me explain. I am in a different situation right now but back then I just could not get enough of women.

“Women are endless, you know? You keep going to the streets and you see women everywhere. As at then, I would have been like King Solomon.

“You know he had like so many wives and many concubines. This guy used to travel and take ships to meet these women.

“I did a lot of childish things back then. What do you expect from a teenager that had a lot of fame and lots of access to women?

“There were a lot of good women that I lost because of my childish mentality or behaviour and stuff like that. I am becoming a better man now.”
