I charge N10m for collaboration from the people I don't love- Wizkid

In an interview with TheNETng this week, super star singer Wizkid said he charges N10million for musical collaborations with artistes he doesn't love but does it for free with the ones he loves
"I charge N10million for collaboration but I don’t charge the people I love. (but) I don't pay for collaborations because I am confident of myself" he said
And people pay? And about his collaboration with singer Saeon, who is not happy that he failed to help promote her song despite paying him N1.5m, Wizkid didn't deny collecting the money but said he made the song a hit "I made ‘Boogie down’ song a hit, I did the song out of love from my heart.’

South Africa busts another secret Nigeria arms deal, seizes $5.7 million

 National Security Adviser - Sambo Dasuki.
 
South African authorities have confiscated yet another US$5.7 million arms money from Nigeria, nearly three weeks after seizing $9.3 million in cash transported by two Nigerians and an Israeli for arms purchase, South Africa-based City Express reported Monday.
As with the first deal, South Africa’s Asset Forfeiture Unit of the National Prosecuting Authority seized the $5.7 million (about N952 million) for allegedly being the proceeds of illegal transactions, the paper said.
The news came more than two weeks after two Nigerians and an Israeli national were arrested in South Africa after they attempted to smuggle US$9.3 million apparently meant for buying arms for the Nigerian intelligence service.
The men landed at Lanseria International Airport, Johannesburg, on September 5 in a private jet from Abuja with the money stashed in three suitcases.
At the time, the South Africa Revenue Service, SARS, said customs officers became suspicious when the passengers’ luggage were unloaded and put through the scanners.
The National Prosecuting Authority, NPA, in South Africa said there was an invoice for helicopters and armaments intended to be used in Nigeria.
