Grammy introduces 'Best African Music Performance' category to 2024 awards

The Recording Academy, Organizers of Grammy Awards, Has Created a Category for 'Best African Music Performance.'


The category was among the three new ones announced by the academy in a statement released via its website on Tuesday.


The other two newly created categories are Best Pop Dance Recording and Best Alternative Jazz Album.


According to the statement, the new categories will receive nominations beginning with next year's show.


"The addition of the Best African Music Performance category reflects how African acts such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Tems-along with the rise of the Afrobeats genre-have become global chart-topping stars and streaming juggernauts," the statement reads in part.


The Grammy "Best African Music Performance" category is open to both contemporary and traditional music from the African continent including Afrobeats, Afro-pop, Amapiano, High Life, Fuji etc.

MY OLD SCHOOL AND MY OLD DEBTS

By

1. We all must have passed through one  primary or secondary schools at a time in life. The assertion may not be true in other geopolitical zones, but it is very true in the South Western Nigeria. In the Southwest, a child must attain a level of education in a school, even if he/she will end up learning trade or skills; no matter how OLODO the child is. Although those we called OLODOs then are the leaders of the pack with cash, distribution of life is beyond mortal intelligent.  2. From the above it is established that anyone under the age 70 in the Southwest must have the tendency of belonging to either or both primary and secondary school associations. Either he or she chooses to attend their meeting is personal, still they belong to one old school. 3. If my ideas in paragraph 1&2 are valid, then the fact that you can be affiliated with a school has automatically made you a *Debtor.* Yes, *a debtor not by choice but by conscience. Not only by conscience, but by circumsta...

GROW ABOVE OFFENCES

By

 GROW ABOVE OFFENCES. Maintain relationships with people It is childish and immature to pick offence at every provocation or perceived wrong and then start keeping grudges as a result. Grow above it. Someone did not invite you for their celebration (s), you pick offence with them. Someone didn't wish you happy birthday, you pick offence with the person They didn't like your facebook post, you pick offence.  They didn't support you in a disagreement you had with someone, you pick offence with them. They are junior and they have the audacity to talk or oppose your opinion. You pick offence with them.  They said NO to your request, you pick offence and malice starts. You asked them for money, they said they didn't have it, you pick offence with them. You are even keeping a record of people who came around when you were grieved, so you can know who to pick offence with.   See!!!  Everyone has battles you are not aware of.  Those who you need help from are ...

INTERNAL DISPUTES WITHIN OUR LEADERSHIP, THE SABOTAGE WHICH FACILITATED THE INVASION OF ENEMIES ON OUR LANDS IN IFON',AWODELE HABEEB,A CONCERNED INDIGENE OF IFON WRITES ON THE ONGOING CRISIS BETWEEN IFON AND HER NEIGHBOURING TOWN.

 INTERNAL DISPUTES WITHIN OUR LEADERSHIP: THE SABOTAGE WHICH FACILITATED THE INVASION OF ENEMIES ON OUR LANDS IN IFON. To all the indigenous sons and daughters of our beloved Ifแปn, I will like to swiftly divert our attention to this particular opinion. After my scrupulous observations, I discovered that one of the major factors, which affected our Land (Ifon) during this time of war,is the lack of proper coordination among our so-called leaders. This opinion might look presumptuous or obnoxious to some people however, to say the fact, it is quite apparent, that the internal porousness,discriminations,disloyalty and more among our leaders, immensely contributed to our set-back in this situation. A lizard cannot penetrate, unless there is a crack on the wall.  This matter on ground,is not all about shouting the Ilobu only, we also need some corrections in our internal structure! Before, Ifon used to be a strong town, that no neighboring town can easily penetrate during time of w...

Full Text Of Prostrate Health.

I am here to speak with you on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40 years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above, father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbour, colleague. Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: 1. Information 2. Reassurance 3. A plan of action. Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder. If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think ...

 A New Dawn for Osun State: Governor Ademola Adeleke's Transformative Leadership. The recent decision taken by Gov Ademola Adeleke in Osun State mark a significant departure from the past, signaling a promising era of progress and prosperity for its citizens. Gone are the days of empty promises and neglect, as Governor Adeleke has ushered in a new paradigm of governance characterized by tangible actions and genuine concern for the welfare of the people. Under the previous administration of APC, Osun State grappled with numerous challenges, including the dismal state of its civil service. Civil servants endured the frustration of paper promotion letters without the necessary financial backing, a practice emblematic of the neglect and disregard they faced. The era of half salaries, understaffing, and poor workers' welfare cast a shadow over the state, leaving its workforce demoralized and disenchanted. However, Governor Adeleke's commitment to revitalizing Osun State has brou...

The All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership, UK Chapter, has slammed plans by a group to protest against Bola Tinubu in the UK. The Chairman of the chapter, Mr Tunde Doherty, addressed the planned protest in a statement on Friday, Nov. 3, in Lagos. Doherty, also the APC Committee of Diaspora Chairmen, said: “It has come to our attention that this group is organising a protest in London to propagate unfounded claims about the educational credentials of President Bola Tinubu. “We firmly believe our responsibility is to address this matter and underscore the significance of relying on substantiated facts over premature and unsubstantiated allegations. “President Bola Tinubu, a seasoned and distinguished statesman, has a long and illustrious track record of serving our great nation. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the betterment of Nigeria and its people. “The allegations of forged certificates not only lack concrete evidence but also undermine the...

NIGERIANS ABOUT TO TAKE ALL GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS .

By
Image
Guinness World Records made the biggest mistake of their existence by reminding Nigerians that they exist, and now, Nigerians are taking up the challenge to make or break those records for leisure. Someone from my state again, John Obot , is about to make (or break) the record for the longest time a person ever read aloud. He will be reading 25 novels for 145 hours. Do you even realize that we're Nigerians? The volume of books we read just to make it through Secondary and tertiary education, the average person overseas hasn't read in their lifetime. No exaggeration. GWR is not ready for what's coming. Nigerians alone will own an entire section of your website in just one year.  You're playing with people that casually endanger their lives every day just for the fun of it: We climb roofs without cables;  we board and alight from moving vehicles every day (even our kids can do this);  we remove items from the fire with our bare hands;  we sit in one spot and down 3 cra...
