I have been preparing myself for the music industry. At a time, I was working, I was in the university and I was studying music too. I had to learn how to play instruments and how to write music.”
According to her, she will never take it personally if anyone who attributes her success to her father’s fame.
“If you tell me I am taking advantage of my father’s fame, I will not argue with you.
I have already accepted that people will form their own opinions about me and I don’t intend to fight it. I will try to work hard and hope that my music speaks for me.
“It’s a mistake for people to think that since we were born into a wealthy home, we don’t need to work for anything. My father takes care of us, but his money is not ours.
Parents like to support their children, but I don’t think they want us to depend on them forever. One day, my parents will not be around again and I will need to take care of myself.”

Wonderful kola, also known as miracle seed or memory nut, is extremely popular nowadays thanks to its benefits in treating many health problems. But much more, daily intake of this nut can protect against stomach ulcer.
In a new study, researchers found that wonderful kola helps to enhance the healing process of stomach ulcer by increasing the platelet count and nitric oxide levels. These are important for the healing of wounds.
Platelets are produced in the bone marrow and released into the blood where they play an important role in blood clotting, helping to stop bleeding when blood vessels are injured. Nitric oxide protects against damage of the wall of the intestines and promotes ulcer healing.
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) affects millions of individuals worldwide and is considered one of the most important common diseases in the world. Although there are drugs currently used in the management of PUD, a number of reported side effects and the high rate of relapse make the search for better products imperative, hence the need for more research into medicinal plants that can protect from ulcer.
For the study, rats were fed with diets containing wonderful kola for seven weeks; thereafter, the ulcer was induced in some of the animals. Different tests were carried out on them, including blood and gastric acid secretion tests over the period.
The researchers recorded a significant decrease in gastric acid secretion by days three and seven in the animals that had a diet that contains wonderful kola compared to those fed the standard laboratory rat chow.
This 2017 study published online in the Journal of Dietary Supplements involved Dr Adeola Temitope Salami; Dr Olugbenga Adeola Odukanmi; Omosola Fisayo Faniyan; Dr Tosan Peter Omayone and Professor Samuel Babafemi Olaleye.
Also, significant increases were observed in blood parameters such as blood platelet count and nitric oxide levels in wonderful kola-fed animals compared with others over the period the test was done.
Buchholzia coriacea commonly called musk tree or wonderful cola is found widely distributed in many African countries such as Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Liberia and Cameroon.
In Nigeria, it is locally called Uke by the Ibo of South East, Obi-ata or Uwuro by the Yoruba of the South West and Ovu by the Bini tribe. The plant’s fruit, which resembles avocado pear, is yellowish when ripe with a yellow flesh containing a few large, blackish seed. The fruit is edible and tastes peppery. It is either eaten raw or cooked.
Different parts of the plant have folkloric uses. But its seed gave it its common name, wonderful kola, because of its usage in traditional medicine.
For example, in Ghana, the fresh bark of the plant is used for earache while in Cameroon, the hot water extract of the stern bark is used as an aphrodisiac.
In Nigeria, the seed, when mixed with palm oil is employed in the treatment of malaria, but in Ivory Coast, the decoction of the bark is used to relieve a headache, sinusitis and eye infection.
In Africa, wonderful kola has the ability to stop a migraine headache when applied on the forehead. The stem bark extract is applied as an enema to treat back pain. The seeds which have a peppery taste are used as a substitute of capsicum pepper. In Côte d’Ivoire, the seed is chewed as a substitute for kola nuts.
Previously, in 2015 researchers in the journal, Archives of Basic and Applied Medicine showed that its inclusion in the diet reduced acid production in the stomach in a dose-dependent fashion.
The researchers, including Matthew Owonikoko; Salami A.T; Odukanmi A.O and Babafemi Samuel Olaleye, all at the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan. Ibadan looked at the effect of diets containing seeds of wonderful kola in rats with an ulcer.
The results indicate that incorporation of wonderful kola up to 50 per cent increased the rate of gastric ulcer healing in the animals fed these diets when compared with the control rats fed with standard laboratory rat chow 10 days after. This was evidenced by the reduced sizes of ulcerated areas of the stomach in the rats.
It is well known that one of the potent causative factors of gastric ulcer is excessive gastric acid. In order to prevent gastric ulcer, its production must be regulated.
Wonderful kola has been shown to contain chemical substances that are able to protect and promote healing of ulcers, especially flavonoids.
Many flavonoid-containing plants with seeds in the kola group have been shown to possess anti-ulcer activities. These include bitter kola, Garcinia cambogina and Centella asiatica (Gotu kola).
Also, studies had collaborated its usefulness in the treatment of many conditions like diabetes, hypertension, bacterial infections caused by germs like Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumonia as well as worm infestation.
For instance, its seed extract had been shown to boost the effectiveness of metformin, a standard medicine for diabetes, in lowering blood sugar level.

According to Vanguardngr, the federal government has filed a two-count charge against him for allegedly giving false information to the police in relation to a claim he made April 17 of an attempt on his life.
The charge marked: CR/106/18 was filed on January 31 this year before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Maitama by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF).
In the charge, the Kogi West senator is accused of falsely incriminating the Chief of Staff to Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, Edward Onoja David, in his assassination attempt claim.
He was accused of deliberately giving false information to the police to frame Governor Bello’s Chief of Staff as the mastermind of the assassination attempt on him at his hometown in Ayetoro-Gbede in Kogi State in April last year.
According to the charge, the police discovered the alleged falsehood in Melaye’s claim while investigating the Senator’s allegation that some individuals attempted to assassinate him.
In the second count, Melaye was accused of making false statement of facts in a phone conversation with Mr. Mohammed Abudu Abubakar, a son of the late former governor of Kogi State Abubakar Audu, with the intention of harming the reputation of David.
In the charge, Melaye’s alleged offences are said to be punishable under sections 140 and 393 of the Peal Code Law, Cap. 89, Laws of Northern Nigeria, 1963.
The first of the two counts read, “That you, Senator Dino Melaye, male, of the Senate, National Assembly, Three Arms Zone, Abuja, on or about the month of April 2017 at the Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court in the cause of an investigation into the alleged assassination attempt on you, sometimes in April 2017, you gave information to the police stating that one Mr. Edward Onoja David (Chief of Staff to the Governor of Kogi State) did mastermind the attack with intent to convict him for the offence which statement you either knew or believe to be false and you thereby committed an offence punishable under section 140 of the Penal Code Law, Cap. 89, Laws of Northern Nigeria, 1963.”
Melaye was said to have told Abubakar, son of a former Kogi State Governor, in a telephone conversation how he framed Edward Onoja David in the assassination attempt.
He was also said to have made the false claim in the statement he made to the police on April 17, 2017 during police’s investigation into the alleged attempt to assassinate him. No date is set yet for his arraignment.
