Emma Ugolee responds to accusations that he's a tribalist after his viral post questioning why it is mostly artists from the Southwest who get recognized

















Media personality, Emmanuel Ugolee has responded to the accusations that he's tribalistic after he was called out for his viral post stating that most of the recognized Nigerian artists are from the Southwest.



In his initial post, Emma said that most of the top artists are from the Southwest, despite the fact that there are artists from other parts of Nigeria doing great music. He mentioned some artists from other regions who are great but do not get half as much recognition as artists from the Southwest do (read here).



His post got support from singer Etcetera who gave more examples of artists who deserve more buzz but do not get it because they are not from the Southwest.



However, some Nigerians reacted to the post by accusing Emma and Etcetera of being tribalistic. Emma has now reacted.



Sharing a photo collage of himself wearing the traditional attire of the three major tribes in Nigeria, he wrote"

So I hear that in the online mass market I have been misconstrued as having a tribal streak over a recent post I made.
_
I am not the kind to go explaining myself in any arena where emotions is the driver and logic, a conviently ignored passenger. You cannot successfully collide with that band wagon so I never bother.
_
I however, worry about my fam here who deserve a cleared air for their support over the years.
_
So for the records, I have never and would never see a persons creed or tribe before I see the persons heart.
_
I got married to an amazing yoruba woman in 2013. On that day, my best man was Lanre Fassasi aka Sound Sultan. Who by the way is still my best friend in the whole world and whose folks until they passed, were my parents in Lagos. His siblings, are my siblings till date.
_
My father who speaks yoruba, hausa and igbo still shames me for not haven't solidly added yoruba to the other two I speak fluently. So the first thing he says to me when I call is "Bawo" after which I try to impress him with how improved my yoruba is
_
I gave my soul to supporting countless acts in music at a time, a large chunk being from the southwest.
_
I remember the viral flack I got from many music acts when I said Kizz Daniel's was the next 2face. I stood by words because I saw mad talent and longevity. I did not see a yoruba boy.
_
Until he passed on, I was what you would call a "godson" to Pa Olugbebi.
_
So for the 1st time in 44years, it is shocking to both me and all who know more than just my name, to have anyone even remotely insinuate that I see tribe.
_
As a trained journalist, I simply made an observation and asked an intelligent question based on blinding statistics. Asking why in the last 10 years unlike the Nigeria I know, national music superstars have become region sensitive. What changed? Logical, intelligent answers still at large.
_
I practice a religion that seriously frowns on taking tribal stands as God too is blind to it.
_
So I sincerely apologize if anyone has misunderstood my quest (A quest that is still valid) for an explanation, over a growing anomaly, as being tribalistic. It is not who I am and would NEVER be.
_
Emma Ugolee.





Missing British backpacker who disappeared while out hiking in New Zealand is found dead

















The 32-year-old missing British backpacker who disappeared while out hiking in New Zealand has been found dead.



Stephanie Simpson, 32, was last seen by fellow hikers in Mount Aspiring National Park on the South Island on Saturday, February 8.



The alarm was raised when Miss Simpson, from Essex, failed to turn up at her landscaping job on Monday.



Police in New Zealand found her body around 1.40pm local time on Friday, February 14, near an area of the park called Fantail Falls.



Earlier in the day, her backpack and hiking boots were found and this led search teams to zero in around the area.



It had not been stated yet how exactly she died.



Sergeant Mark Kirkwood said that her family were grieving and had asked for privacy.



He added: "The search was extremely challenging at times, especially in consideration of the terrain, and the work of all involved is to be commended."

''No David Lyon, no governor for the state'' - APC youths in Bayelsa protest Supreme court ruling (video)












APC Youths in Bayelsa state are protesting the Thursday February 13th judgement of the Supreme court annulling the election of APC's David Lyon.



The Apex court in a unanimous judgement, sacked Lyon on grounds that his deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, ran for the November 2019 election using fake certificates. The court mandated INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Lyon and release a fresh one to PDP's Duoye Diri, who came second during the election.







The party youths in a video shared online, said they are against the verdict. They are insisting that the initial plan of swearing in David Lyon as governor today must go on.
