The Secret Of Wizkid’s Success. Talent Or Hardwork?

It is no longer news that Wizkid’s music is one of Africa’s biggest exports. Everyone with interest in African music would have known by now, how highly demanded and widely heard, his music is.  His recently released, SFTOS album is enjoying hot airplay in and out of Africa, debuting #107 on the Billboard top 200 albums, while #2 on the world albums chart.
This is coming as added success to the concomitant achievements of collaborating with Drake, Chris Brownand other international artistes. Now, the Starboy himself is being considered in some quarters as an international artiste, and the ease with which his music is penetrating into the global market is giving credence to that fact. His journey to international prominence is a major topic in the circle of African music lovers and it is easy to guess why.
For a guy who started out as only a “Shitta Boy” with a dream, who used to run errands in OJB Jezreel’s studio while hoping to get a chance to record; getting to share a stage with Chris Brown and meeting up with Damian Marley should pass as part of the dream come true. His high rise to the global level of music making has been a marvel to some observers, sparking a debate as to what Wizkid owes his success to, his work ethics or talent.
Eldee tweeted in 2010, about Wiz being the future of Nigerian music, suggesting that Weezy’s talent is irrepressible, but with the rather strange thing that Wizkid is believed to have done recently, recording an album in barely two days of arriving in Nigeria; one can argue that his work ethics is the biggest recipe for his success.
Is it Wizkid’s work ethics or his talent that’s the secret of his success? What do you think?

HERE’S WHY BERGER TO AJAh is trending                                             i f  you have a Twitter account, you would have noticed that Berger to Ajah is trending. Don’t be surprised if you find out that it has nothing to do with any government project but a recent event that happened between a man and two ladies. It all started when a lady identified as Damilola Marcus aka @OmogeDami wrote on how a man identified as Uche Daniel aka @UcheDandyMUFC tried forcing her friend to sleep with him. She made the allegation in response to Uche asking her not to generalize that all men are trash. Some years back, this man  @UcheDandyMUFC  tried FORCING my friend to have sex with him! This is a member of the “not all” crew. A RAPEY FLY is in my mentions telling me not to generalize.  https://t.co/VcEDXMxw7x — Damilola Marcus (@OmogeDami)  J...

#BBNaija – Big Brother’s Real Face Exposed – See How He Looks (Photos)

For today’s challenge the Housemates got asked to visually represent Big Brother’s omnipotent presence in a portrait of him. They were given paint, brushes and a blank canvas then tasked with letting their imaginations “run wild!” HoH, TTT hadn’t even finished reading out the Task and the Housemates were already buzzing! They then started discussing what Biggie might look like and their ideas were quite fascinating and diverse. TBoss thought that he wasn’t “handsome” in the classic sense but was attractive in a “rough” and rugged way in addition to having locs! Bisola thought he was tall, dark and handsome as well as sharp and well dressed. TTT took a more conceptual approach describing that he saw Biggie as a supreme, omnipotent being but one without a face and dual personalities. On the one hand the fact that he “saw all” made him like a diety “with light around his head” but because he was also a trickster TTT said he saw...
