Carl Reccah/Ashionye
In the year 2009, the CEO of Organantun records finally came out in the open to declare his intention to settle down by marrying Asionye, one of the hottest female musicians under his records management outfit.
In the last two years, the media has been agog with tales of love tryst between Carl Raccah and the delectable singer, one of the most promising artistes in his label.
Months later, stories flow about on how other female artistes like Timmy Chris and others were finding it difficult to cope with the label due to what some described as the overbearing attitude of Ashionye and her relationship with Carl.
He, however, decided to take the bull by the horn by taking her to the altar.
Stella Damasus – Nzeribe
She is one of the leading A-list actresses in the country and also doing well for herself in the showbiz industry. The pretty lady, who was married to the late Jaiye Aboderin from the Aboderin family, decided to take another plunge into the world of matrimony after spending five years as a widow.
She achieved this by quietly wedding Emeka Nzeribe, a cool and rich dude who swept off her feet and wiped away her tears forever.
Robert Kelly
This motivational American singer defiled all fears to do the first ever concert in African soil and the destination was Nigeria where he performed at this Day music carnival. It is worthy of note that his visit to Nigeria brought so much buzz and razzmatazz within the international entertainment scene and it once more proved that quality musicians could perform in Nigeria without being kidnapped, a notion which painted Nigeria as insecure.
