Boss Director Is Building an Afro-Fusion Career on Intention, Not Noise

 Boss Director Is Building an Afro-Fusion Career on Intention, Not Noise. Boss Director In an era where African music is expanding faster than the systems built to support it, visibility is often mistaken for impact. Streams spike, names trend, and disappear just as quickly. Against this backdrop, Boss Director, born Onazi Moses Oche, is quietly assembling something more durable: a career shaped by intention, restraint, and a clear sense of self. Born on September 6, 1996, and raised in Benue State, Nigeria, Boss Director carries his Idoma identity into his work without turning it into spectacle. Now based in Lagos, he operates within Afro-fusion, but not as a genre-hopper chasing algorithms. His music draws from Afrobeats, street sensibilities, and modern global rhythms, yet remains anchored in emotional clarity and controlled delivery. The result is a sound that travels without losing its centre. Over the past year, his releases including Hot Trick, Pressure, Shaolin, and Arike h...

Sineli Telecoms Rolls Out Detty December eSIM Initiative to Ease Travel Connectivity Challenge

Image
Sineli Telecoms has launched a seasonal connectivity initiative aimed at easing mobile data challenges faced by travellers during the December peak travel period, widely referred to as Detty December. The initiative comes as international travel volumes surge during the festive season, a time when many travellers encounter connectivity difficulties immediately upon arrival. Common challenges include high roaming charges, unreliable public Wi-Fi, and delays associated with purchasing physical SIM cards. According to the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sineli Telecoms, Ayo Afonja, the initiative was designed to respond to a recurring pain point within the global travel ecosystem. “December is one of the busiest travel periods globally, and it consistently exposes how difficult it can be for travellers to stay connected immediately after landing,” Afonja said. “Reliable connectivity has become a basic travel expectation, yet it is still not guaranteed in many destinations.” As part...

          Jubril Arogundade , a former senior executive of  CIG Motors , has clarified the circumstances surrounding his departure from the company, following recent media reports and public commentary that inaccurately described his exit as a termination.

Powering the Infrastructure for African Small Businesses, Vant Is Building Cross-Border Trade

     Powering the Infrastructure for African Small Businesses, Vant Is Building Cross-Border Trade African small and medium-sized businesses produce goods that the global market wants. From fashion and food to manufactured and creative products, demand exists well beyond local borders. Yet for most African entrepreneurs, international trade remains out of reach, not because of quality or ambition, but because the infrastructure required to trade globally has never been built with them in mind. Vant, a Nigeria-founded technology company, is working to change that. Vant was co-founded by Paul Akolade (Chief Executive Officer), Raphael Abayomi (Chief Technology Officer), and Ayomikun Okorodile (Chief Operating Officer), a multidisciplinary founding team combining strengths across business strategy, engineering, and operations. Together, they are building a cross-border commerce platform that enables African small businesses to sell locally and globally through export-ready d...
