I'm in the Ocean while other artist are in the River-9ICE
Abolore Akande (9ice) Revealed his new Manager and his life in this interview with Ben Nonye of PUNCH
Now that you are back, should these small artistes making waves be scared?
We are not on the same level. They are in the river and I am in the ocean. Let them just do their thing. I am on a different level. They are making money. That is nice. They don’t disturb me and I don’t disturb them either
Why did you deny you had twins when they were born?
These days, you are always seen with Don T, are you now under his management?
Don Tee is my new manager. I am now with Dicotyledon Entertainment management which has Don Tee as the head.
What is he really supposed to be doing for you?
He is in charge of 9ice, everything that
has to do with 9ice, including his image. He even determines the kind of
food I eat and the places I go. It doesn’t have to do with only
performance. He is in charge of everything.
Now that you are back, should these small artistes making waves be scared?
We are not on the same level. They are in the river and I am in the ocean. Let them just do their thing. I am on a different level. They are making money. That is nice. They don’t disturb me and I don’t disturb them either
Why did you deny you had twins when they were born?
I did say I didn’t have twins then because I
believe it was personal. If I have N1m, I think it is only my account’s
officer that should know how much I have. In fact, he wouldn’t even have
the right to check my account unless I ask him to do that. He couldn’t
just cull up my account details and start checking how much I have. This
is not a car we are talking about, these are human beings.
When they grow up, do you think they will forgive you when they read that you once denied them?
I will tell them the reason I did that. It was the same way my father gave me his own reasons. I didn’t know him until I was 22. I got to know my mother when I was 18.

I will tell them the reason I did that. It was the same way my father gave me his own reasons. I didn’t know him until I was 22. I got to know my mother when I was 18.
They gave me their reasons for doing what they did. I asked my father
where he was all the time I was growing up and he told me where and how
and when he was a part of my life. If my kids grow up to ask me why I
did what I did, I would certainly explain to them. I didn’t say I
didn’t have kids just because I wanted to lie, No. I had my reasons. I
had my life to live.

(sport) There is no other club Like REAL-Madrid-C-Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo insists he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid, admitting that he is considering finishing his career at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 28-year-old attacker was briefly linked with a return to Manchester United earlier this year, after stating that he was not happy in the Spanish capital, but eventually opted to sign a new deal with Los Blancos until June 2018.
Ronaldo does not regret that decision a bit, explaining that he is not in the least bit interested in leaving Madrid.
"Right now, I feel as though I want to finish my career here because I'm very happy," the Portugal international told Cope.
"I love living in Madrid, playing at the best club in the world and I can't ask for more. When things are good, when you're settled and motivated to do well, you worry less about the future.
"I feel loved here. This is my fifth season at Real. It's hard to reach the people at the Bernabeu to start with.
"The truth is that I didn't feel as though I had found my place on the field in the first few years. But then I realised that maybe it was me who was wrong.
"Now I'm 100 per cent happy. It's like a dream every time I go to the Bernabeu, the people really love me. I want to stay here for many years to come and see out my contract, there's no other club like Real."
Ronaldo has made over 200 official appearances for Madrid since joining them from United in the summer of 2009.

US FLAG AT HALF-MAST IN REMEMBRANCE OF JFK
The flags in Dallas are flying at half mast
today as the city holds a memorial service in honor of the 50th
anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination
Moment of silence: The crowd of thousands bowed their heads out of respect at 12.30pm local time
Emotional: Many Americans, including Barbara
Clark, vividly remember where they were when they heard that President
Kennedy had been shot on November 22, 1963
About
5,000 tickets were issued for the free ceremony in Dealey Plaza, which
is flanked by the Texas School Book Depository building where sniper Lee
Harvey Oswald perched on the sixth floor.
The U.S. Naval Academy Men's Glee Club will perform in a nod to Kennedy's military service and there will be an Air Force flyover.
It is a reverential approach that will be mirrored in Boston, where the JFK Library and Museum will open a small exhibit of never-before-displayed items from Kennedy's state funeral and host a musical tribute that isn't open to the public.
In Washington, President Obama will meet privately at the White House with leaders and volunteers from the Kennedy-established Peace Corps program.
The President personally visited the
eternal flame created for Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery on
Wednesday alongside Michelle Obama, former President Clinton and former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
A number of members of the Kennedy family- including Caroline's son Jack Schlossberg- were in attendance, and he went on to speak at a formal dinner that night that was held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Medal of Freedom- an initiative launched by President Kennedy.
The committee convened by current Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings to plan the city's event wanted to focus 'in a positive way more on the legacy of President Kennedy,' said Ron Kirk, a former mayor and member of the panel.
Numerous events were held around Dallas this year to mark the milestone anniversary, including panels with those who were there that day, special concerts and museum exhibits.
As press aide for Governor John Connally, Julian Read was in a media bus several vehicles behind the presidential limousine.
After the gunshots, he watched as the vehicle, carrying the mortally wounded Kennedy and injured governor, sped away. Read released a book this year recounting his experience and has attended several of the events, which he called cathartic.
'Even though there are all those melancholy thoughts, the way it's shaping up ... gives me more of a comfort than any time since 1963,' said Read, who will be at the official ceremony Friday.
The Coalition on Political Assassinations, a group that believes Kennedy's death was part of a conspiracy, usually gathers on the plaza's 'grassy knoll' for a moment of silence each November 22.
Since it'll be blocked off this year, executive director John Judge - who first came to Dealey Plaza for the fifth anniversary of JFK's death in 1968 - says he's reached a 'livable' agreement with the city.
The group - which plans to wear specially made T-shirts with an image of Kennedy's head with a bullet hole and blood and the slogan '50 years in denial is enough' - will gather a few blocks away and move to the plaza after the official ceremony ends.
President John F. Kennedy's last surviving sibling, 85-year-old Jean Kennedy Smith, has laid a wreath at her brother's grave at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington.
Smith was accompanied Friday morning by about 10 members of the Kennedy family as they marked the 50th anniversary of his assassination in Dallas.
They joined hands for a short prayer in silence and left roses at the grave.
Bagpipes played, a British cavalry officer stood guard and a flame burned steady as it has for the last 50 years at the grave.
A few hundred tourists watched the ceremony, which lasted only a few minutes.
Also today, one of President Kennedy's two granddaughters has paid her respects at the British memorial site in his honor.
A stone tablet and ornate garden were dedicated to President Kennedy in Runnymede in Berkshire, and a service was held there today on the 50th anniversary of his assassination.
The site was unveiled in 1965 by Queen Elizabeth with Jacqueline Kennedy and her two children in tow.
Caroline Kennedy's 23-year-old daughter Tatiana Schlossberg was the family representative there today and she was accompanied by the American ambassador to England.
'We have come here today to honor his memory- as this monument does so well- but today is a difficult day because it is a reminder of a moment of profound sadness for my family, for America and for the world,' she said at the ceremony.
'For me, my grandfather lives in my imagination, in his words, and in the lessons he has left with us. Throughout my life, I have been able to connect with him through the study of history, both by studying his life and by studying the eras and patterns that fascinated him.'
While Caroline's oldest daughter Rose has not been spotted at any
memorial functions, Jack has served as the family's representative at a
number of events held in his grandfather's honor in Washington.
He and his great aunt Ethel Kennedy, who is the widow of JFK's brother Bobby, attended the Medal of Freedom ceremony in the White House on Wednesday.
They then accompanied Presidents Obama and Clinton to Arlington Ceremony where they paid their respects at the eternal flame that Jackie had made in her husband's honor.
Caroline, who is now the sole surviving member of President Kennedy's immediate family, has not participated in any of the events leading up to the anniversary of her father's death as she is just beginning her tenure as the new American ambassador to Japan.
In Boston, the private musical tribute will feature Paul Winter, whose jazz sextet performed for Kennedy at the White House, along with a U.S. Navy choir and James Taylor.
Other notable guests include Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, who is scheduled to read quotes from Kennedy's speeches.
The U.S. Naval Academy Men's Glee Club will perform in a nod to Kennedy's military service and there will be an Air Force flyover.

president in the 20th Century, and he was assassinated during a campaign
stop in Texas on November 22, 1963

New leading lady: Charlene, like Jackie Kennedy before her, has become something of an international fashion icon
Spectacle: Events in commemoration of the anniversary have been held in Dallas throughout the past year
A number of members of the Kennedy family- including Caroline's son Jack Schlossberg- were in attendance, and he went on to speak at a formal dinner that night that was held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Medal of Freedom- an initiative launched by President Kennedy.

The spot: A museum now occupies the space that
used to be the Texas Book Depository, and this is the window on the
sixth floor that was Oswald's hiding spot
Clear shot: Lee Harvey Oswald was positioned in
the Sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository, (the building on the left)
when he fired at the motorcade
Moving on: In preparation for today's
celebration, road crews on Thursday repaved the area of Elm Street where
the President was shot
Through the rain: Thousands are expected to line
the route of the motorcade that President Kennedy's car was going along
as he was shot
Moments from death: President John F. Kennedy,
his wife Jackie sit side by side, as they ride through Dallas moments
before Kennedy was assassinated, November 22, 1963

The final trip: Jackie and Jack were all smiles when they arrived in Dallas, not knowing what lay ahead
Warm reception: Texas was a difficult state for Democrats to win but the crowds were encouraging for Kennedy
Unexpected: The convertible that the Kennedys
were riding in had been equipped with a glass cover but the President
felt he was better able to connect with voters without the barrier
Action: Secret Service agent Clint Hill rushed
to the back of the limousine and pushed Mrs Kennedy back in the car
after she tried to grab a piece of her husband's skull that had flown
off
On display: The limousine that Kennedy was
riding in was used by a number of presidents after him but it was
eventually retired from the fleet and now is part of an exhibit at The
Henry Ford Museum in Michigan
Healing old wounds: A number of tributes have
been erected in Dallas over the years, including this landmark marker in
Dealey Plaza where the motorcade traveled on that fateful day
The group - which plans to wear specially made T-shirts with an image of Kennedy's head with a bullet hole and blood and the slogan '50 years in denial is enough' - will gather a few blocks away and move to the plaza after the official ceremony ends.

Smith was accompanied Friday morning by about 10 members of the Kennedy family as they marked the 50th anniversary of his assassination in Dallas.

Evidence: Lady Bird Johnson asked if Jackie
wanted to change before Lyndon was sworn in as president on Air Force
One (pictured) but Jackie responded 'I want them to see what they did to
Jack'
Investigation: Conspiracy theories about the
assassination, many which persist today. The official version of events
concludes that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and used this bolt-action
rifle with a telescopic sight
Heartbreaking: The President's funeral was held
on the same day that his son John F. Kennedy Jr turned three, and the
little boy is seen here saluting to his father's casket during the
funeral
Bagpipes played, a British cavalry officer stood guard and a flame burned steady as it has for the last 50 years at the grave.
