Seemo Da Black Czar – The missing link in the history of Nigerian Afro-Hip Hop/Afrobeats music evolution

(2 decades of the BIBINI KASAHARI)

After graduating from high school in 1998, Makut Alfred Mashat a.k.a Seemo Da Black Czar had one dream: to make it big in the emerging Jos, Plateau State hip hop scene popularly called J-TOWN.

Seemo Da Black CZAR had been writing rhymes and rapping on the streets and hoods of Jos since 1996, with his first hip hop group, KroniK Trybe. later it metamorphosed into Ex-Members that released an album, but it didn’t get much attention.

Seemo’s biggest inspiration then was Eldee Xtra-Large, who hosted a popular hip hop show on Power 90.5 FM. Black Czar was so impressed with his skills that he tracked Eldee down to his house in Bukuru Low Cost. There, he met the legendary producer Mr. Baron of Ill-Conspiracy, who had worked on the soundtrack for the film “Out of Bounds”by Richard Mofe Damijo(RmD) with Black Maskuradaz and Aisha.

Mr. Baron and Eldee became Seemo’s hip hop guides, and they helped him to hone his skills as a writer and performer.

In 1999, SEEMO moved to Lagos to pursue his dream of becoming a professional rapper. He quickly made a name for himself in the streets, battling anyone who would challenge him in the Gowon Estate projects and other hoods in Lagos. His reputation grew, and he soon became a member of the Afro hip hop movement in Nigeria, led by Seyi Allen.

His big break came in Festac Town, when DJ Jimmy Jatt gave him an instrumental to freestyle on at a star-studded event. He was introduced by Eldee Xtra-Large of rythm 93.7 FM Lagos as a rapper from Jos, and the crowd went wild after just four lines into his performance. That was the moment Seemo Da Black Czar was born.

Seemo signed a promotional deal with Cypha Records, then Real Records, and All Black Entertainment.
He released several street anthems and performed on major stages all over Lagos including performing to over 50,000 fans at the annual Kennis music Easter Fiesta in Kuramo beach.

In 2006, Seemo signed a 4 million Naira contract with African Reply and released his debut studio album, “Bibini Kasahari: The Voice of the Motherland.”

The album was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to establish him as one of the leading lights of the Nigerian hip hop scene. He followed it up with the albums “Industreetz Reloaded 007” which lead single made it to No 1 on the Channel O African Edition Countdown in South Africa and several Awards including Gbedu Awards in Lagos. “Follow Tradition” was released in 2013 as Seemo’s third studio Album with the hit song “New Nigeria”.

In 2014, Seemo took a break from music to go back to school. He graduated with a degree in Mass Communication from NTA College Jos, certified by Ahmadu Bello University.Seemo is now a certified media professional and Digital Creator.

In 2021,CEO of Munataray Global Services,SEEMO collaborated with Doo-Doo records an American label to release a new album, “Senior Man.” The album is a personal reflection of his journey from grass to grace. It is a story of hope and inspiration, and it is a testament to the power of hard work and determination.

“Senior Man” is a message to young people everywhere: no matter where you come from, you can achieve your dreams if you set your mind to it. It is also a reminder that we all have the power to make a difference in the world.

The album is made in Jos, but it is for the world. It is a bridge between the foundation of Nigerian Afro hip hop and the future of Afrobeats.

In 2022 SEEMO Da Black recorded another Album not yet released titled: “GHANA MUST GO NO GET RELIGION” which bothers around leadership,governance and the need for Africans to stand up and make the continent work devoid of religious, ethnic or tribal jingoism.

On 1st October,2023 Seemo Da Black Czar is set to release a Compendium of songs from his five albums to celebrate Nigeria’s 63rd Independence.
A total of 63 songs will be made available for download and streaming for all fans and lovers of the Bibini Kasahari Movement.


The album is titled 2 Decades of the Bibini Kasahari, which is a reference to SEEMO Da Black Czar’s nickname, which means “African Rap Prophet ” in the Twi & Ashanti language(Ghana).
The album is a must-have for fans of Nigerian Afrobeats music. It features a wide range of styles and sounds, from the early days of Afro Hip Hop to the latest trends in Afrobeats.


The album is sure to be a hit with fans of all ages. It is a celebration of two decades of music from one of Nigeria’s most talented and respected artists.

THE APPOINTMENT OF THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF FRIN: FIRST TASTE TO RENEWED HOPE SAID STAFF OF THE INSTITUTE


Once again we have a cause not to dignify the pseudonymity of Kelvin Onaolapo and Wasiu Olaniregun but to correct the false assertions of the cowards behind some publications which can only attempt to disrupt the growing assurance and confidence the entirety of Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN) have enjoyed since the appointment of Professor, Zacharia Buba Yaduma as the Director General of FRIN by former President Muhammadu Buhari.


Besides his status as a man highly qualified for the job he is the first alumnus in the history of FRIN since it establishment as the Federal Department of Forestry Research in 1954 under the Institute’s Decree 35 of 1973 and order establishing Research Institute of 1977 which changed the status of the Department to an institute to lead the institute and he is doing it not just with passion but consideration and heed for many who were pushed into the cesspool of slavery and intimidation by past leaderships of the institute.


The new Director General has decided to work the talk by releasing conversions for staff across colleges who were qualified by acquiring higher qualifications but were denied conversion for reasons best known to those who stagnated them in the system, Departments have for the first time in the history of the institute prepared and submitted budgets to their respective provosts for onward consideration with a keen interest to understanding and improving peculiar needs of staff in accordance to the NBTE regulatory documents, this is to mention a few.


The presidency, the 10th Assembly, Independent Corrupt Practices and Relate offences Commission, the Department of State Services and the Media must disregard any call by these sons of perdition to sack the DG as this will be tantamount to sabotaging the ideology of sanitizing institutions and making them work effectively which His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is championing.

Mr. President must ignore this call to reverse the appointment of the DG as there is no timely intervention better that than this appointment which has forefend the quiet but visible attempt to plant in a candidate through a kangaroo process that would have sustained a dynasty of oppression and intimidation, Illegal transfers without benefits and parading a research institute with lecturers that have to toil and train themselves without allowances and are hit with promotion conditions which are not in tandem with the NBTE regulatory documents.

We will be ready to furnish you with more reasons and document as to why the appointment of the new DG is a bold step to liberation for staff of the institute.
It is also imperative to mention that the man in question has graduated many undergraduate and post graduate students on both MSc and PhD level one of the staff in FRIN inclusive, which make him a better research professor (Scientist) than any professor believed to have been raised by those who want professor Zacharia B. Yaduma removed and to also unequivocally mention that his appointment did not negate fairness and meritocracy as his 30years carrier in the field of academia and the impact he has made cannot be question at any level.

Any attempt to blackmail the man, ONLY treasonably question the authority of the presidency to appoint a qualified candidate nominated by the then honorable minister of environment for the position as stated clearly in “Section 6 “ of the 2018 Act, Establishing FRIN and little wonder why all unions in the colleges came together under the umbrella of Joint Action Congress on the 20th of May, 2023 to throw their weight behind the appointment and appreciate the leadership of president Muhammadu Buhari calling this appointment “The best gift of the Muhammadu Buhari administration to FRIN”


Without doubt those sponsoring this petition are those who felt the ideology of men assuming the status of God in FRIN has been discontinued and the evil ideology synonymous to Williams lynch’s 1712 vicious “Making of a Slave” has been averted.


There is no better time than now to join hands with the DG and deliver better welfare and human capital development for all as well as reward for hard work void of victimization and suppression which was the drill in FRIN before now, this appointment was substantiated by former president Muhammadu Buhari’s administration but to us this is our first taste of RENEWED HOPE ushered in by His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu which we support and will work collectively with the DG and the president to move FRIN to new grounds which will be unmatched.


Signed
Joint Action Congress FRIN

UNIJOS sets tuition fees at N110,000 for returning students and N140,000 for new students.

UNIJOS Pegs Returnining Students School Fees at ₦110K and ₦140K for New Students

Following widespread criticisms by students of University of Jos and the general public, the school management has announced a downward review of the school fees charges.

According to a statement seen by JoeyOffAir, returning students will now pay the sum of ₦110,000 while new students will pay ₦140,000 which is exclusive from acceptance fee (nonrefundable). Meanwhile, foreign students are to pay ₦640,000 for fresh students and N610,000 for returning students.

Recall that in July, the University of Jos announced a proposed increment of school charges due to increased cost of running the university. However, the Student Union Government (SUG) strongly expressed their disapproval towards the increase stating in a press release “no school charges increment will be accepted”.

The revised fee system has been met with mixed reactions, with students expressing their concerns over the increase in fees and the perceived lack of transparency in the decision-making process.

We are the ones directly affected by these changes, and our opinions should not be disregarded” says Sanni Haarith, a mass communication final year-student, on hearing the breaking news of the unveiling of new charges structure.

Another student, Agape Harrison, expressed her frustration, saying, “I am not prepared for the magnitude of this fee hike. I am still struggling to understand the justification behind these exorbitant fees”.

When asked about the decision-making process, the University of Jos management stated that the new charges structure was necessitated by various factors, such as rising operational costs, the need to improve infrastructure, and enhancing the quality of education provided.

However, this explanation has not appeased the disheartened students who argue that alternative solutions ought to be explored in considering and listening to the voices of students before burdening them with such hefty charges.

It is worth noting that there have been discussions and proposals regarding affordable education, including student loans and financial assistance such as the Students’ Loans Scheme, under the Student Loans Bill signed into law by President Tinubu will go into implementation ahead of the next academic session in September, saying the Federal Government will also strengthen other mechanisms to support indigent students.

The release of the new charges structure has also sparked conversations about accessibility to education and the potential impact on enrollment figures. Critics argue that this increase in fees may dissuade deserving and talented individuals from pursuing higher education, particularly those from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The management of the University of Jos recently released an internal memorandum in a bid to ease the transportation difficulties occasioned by the removal of subsidy on PMS on staff and students has resolved to continue with the transportation scheme.

Furthermore, management has approved that the buses will ply the following routes;

Plateau Secretariat Roundabout through British American Junction – Plateau Private – Tina Junction – Angwa Rukuba – University Staff Quarters Gate – Bauchi Ring Road – Naraguta Campus.
Polo Roundabout – St Murumba – Faringada – Naraguta Campus.
Departure time from each of the approved departure points is 7:30 AM daily. The buses will depart the university at 4 PM daily except Saturday and Sundays. Also tickets can be purchased at the point of entry at ₦100 per drop.

NLC Declares Two-Day Warning Strike Over Effects Of Subsidy Removal

The Nigeria Labour Congres (NLC) has declared a two-day warning strike, beginning on Tuesday, September 5, in protest against the Federal Government for failing to address the challenges caused by the removal of fuel subsidy.

The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, made the declaration on Friday during a press conference at the Labour House in Abuja, while speaking on resolutions by the NLC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting the previous day.

The labour union is accusing the Federal Government of abandoning the negotiations and failing to implement some of the resolutions from previous meetings with the government.

On August 2, organised labour protested what it described as the anti-people policies of the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and their affiliate unions demonstrated in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and several states, including Lagos, Abia, Plateau, Kaduna, Kano, Rivers, Zamfara, Katsina, Cross River, Ebnyi, Kwara, Imo, Ondo and Edo.

The protest followed a seven-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government demanding “the immediate reversal of all anti-poor policies of the federal government including the recent hike in PMS (Premium Motor Spirit) price, increase in public school fees, the release of the eight months withheld salary of university lecturers and workers”.

The union also demanded an upward review of the minimum wage from N30,000 to N200,000, saying that since the President’s “subsidy is gone” inauguration speech of May 29, 2023, the peace of mind of Nigerians has gone.

Several meetings between the Presidency and the unions on palliatives for Nigerians suffering hardship in the wake of the petrol subsidy removal proved abortive.

According to him, it is unclear whether the money is a loan or a palliative to the states or to Nigerians.

“The first increase in the pump price of petroleum products and the last one moved a lot of people from the borderline to a very high level of poverty,” he said.

“Now, if you calculate it, you will discover that this will not translate to N1,500 per person and you ask: is that the impact? Is that really what we want to achieve? Let’s assume it’s a loan. What is really going to happen? Is it garbage in, garbage out?

“If it is N5 billion, I think organised labour would want anybody to do the calculation and tell us how it is going to impact Nigerians on what is happening currently. If it is a loan, then it is too bad.”

NOA Urge Plateau Residents to Bridge Divides for Lasting Peace

As violence resurges in Plateau state, a heartfelt plea has been extended to the citizens, urging them to prioritize the state’s well-being over ethnic divisions.

This call to action was voiced by Mrs. Kaneng Tabitha Pam-Hworo, the Plateau State Director of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), while hosting members of the recently formed Plateau Peace Media Network (PPMN) on Wednesday, August 30th.

Mrs. Kaneng Tabitha Pam-Hworo highlighted the compelling relevance of the PPMN’s establishment, recognizing the vital role it plays. She expressed the agency’s readiness to collaborate with the network in advancing peace and elevating Plateau’s standing as a bastion of tranquility.

Mrs. Pam-Hworo emphasized, “Collaborative peace is essential for every individual in the state irrespective of origin or religion. So we are ready to collaborate with your Network. Also, collaboration between the NOA and PPMN will bring more awareness to the activities the NOA is doing at the grassroots in building peace.”

She added, “We also need to involve capable individuals who have resources and a voice that can amplify peaceful coexistence. It is high time residents of Plateau take deliberate effort and be patriotic about the growing violence in the state, putting aside all ethnic and political affiliations.”

John Azi Mamman, Deputy Director of the NOA, stressed the importance of acting upon early warning signals to prevent potential crises and violence within the state. He highlighted that occurrences like kidnappings across various local government areas often foreshadow subsequent attacks.

Matthew Tegha, the Coordinator of the Plateau Peace Media Network (PPMN), led the team during their visit, which was oriented toward forging collaborations that have the potential to ignite peacebuilding efforts and foster transformative positive change and unity across Plateau state.

Tegha acknowledged that this visit marked the first step of engagement between PPMN and NOA, and it served a dual purpose: to garner support and collaboration for future network initiatives and to establish effective channels for information dissemination, early warnings, and responsive actions.

Tegha expressed, “Today, we seek not only to share our vision and initiatives as the Plateau Peace Media Network, but also to explore opportunities for collaboration. By synergizing our respective expertise and resources, we can create a stronger foundation for a peaceful Plateau State, and by extension, a more united Nigeria. Your insights and guidance are invaluable to us as we navigate the path of peacebuilding through responsible media engagement. Together, we can inspire positive change, foster understanding, and promote peace for the generations to come.”

Additionally, Peter Akpah, of Source News 24, further advocated for media orientation sessions. He highlighted the challenges faced by media practitioners in accurately reporting attacks within the state without inadvertently damaging the state’s image, particularly in the eyes of the international community.

Among the distinguished members of PPMN present during the visit were Coordinator Matthew Tegha, Mrs. Zainab Babaji, Joseph Adudu, Marie-Therese Nanlong, Peter Akpa, Gambo Dusu, Olabisi Victoria, and Solomon Inusa. This assembly of dedicated individuals seeks to foster positive change and harmonious coexistence through their responsible media engagement.
