J-CIN Seeks N6m For Surgery In India
An appeal has gone
to the government, corporate organisations and public spirited individuals to assist in raising fund to save the life of a music talent, Mr Pere Prince Oguntubor.
Mr Oguntubor, who is popularly known as J-CIN said to be diagnosed of brain tumor resulting in loss of memory, sight and hearing coupled with bed wetting, urgently needs the sum of N6 million to undergo the needed surgery in India.
Friends, music colleagues and sympathisers of the dying J-CIN who were at an open fund campaign in Port Harcourt, visited the Rivers State Newspaper Corporation (RSNC), Publishers of The Tide Group of Newspapers recently, to drum support from members of the public as the musician was lately discharged from the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital where he was referred to an Indian hospital for special surgery.
This account numbers are: 1060027801, Diamond Bank with the account name, Ronald Ambapale Oguntubor as well as Acct No. 3051924521-First Bank with account name, Mary Daniel, could be used for any donation to the sick J-CIN.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
