There were also wedding bells from the Igbokwe household as Obiora, the first son of the late lady of songs, Christy Essien Igbokwe married his heart throb. ‘Chilee Agunanna’s blog’ had a report of the events.

Bez’s ‘Supersun’ album was listed as the third best world music album of 2011 according to ‘Jimmy Sonde’ and ‘People in the limelight’ reported on rapper, 50cent’s distribution deal with Pepsi for his energy drink, Street kings, to feed 1 billion African kids.
