It’s been an interesting time in our legal system. For the past week since the conduct of the presidential election on the 25th of February, a lot of events have opened up the legal loopholes which lawyers are currently in courts of law trying to figure out amongst themselves.

During and after the elections, there were clear indications of electoral malpractice and broad daylight election rigging. (I personally believe that it was the worst election that has ever been conducted in the history of Nigeria), but INEC threw caution to the wind and went ahead to declare a winner of the election despite the protests and grievances from the nooks and crannies of the nation. 

Firstly, six states of the federation including; Adamawa, Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo and Sokoto which are all PDP states dragged the federal government and INEC before the Supreme Court of Nigeria over the conduct, collation and announcement of the February 25, 2023, presidential and National Assembly elections. They asked the court to void the announcement of Bola Tinubu as the president-elect by the INEC on the ground that the process by which he was purportedly elected was questionable. Although they have withdrawn the case, maybe because it’s now a post-election matter and they want to bring it before a proper court that has jurisdiction over the matter which is the election tribunal and not the supreme court. 

More so, the Labour Party joining as a co-plaintiff to Mr Peter Gregory Obi has taken INEC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC to court over electoral malpractices. The Labour party strongly believes that they won the presidential election conducted on the 25/26 of February 2023 but only came third through electoral malpractices hence why the court should look into it and rectify the anomalies. 

Also, some lawyers and social interest groups have gone to court asking the court to mandate INEC under the Freedom of information act 2011 to make public how the 305 billion nairas that were appropriated to them for the execution of the 2023 election has been expended so far and also for them to account for all the expenses they have incurred for the preparation of the election since 2019 up till date. 

Finally, the fact that the APC did not win the FCT is currently a subject of controversy in the court of law. Some lawyers have approached the court to declare that the APC has not met the constitutional threshold to be declared the winner of the 2023 election due to the fact that they did not win the FCT. 

On the good side, the Supreme Court while reversing the directives of the CBN/ presidency has declared that the validity of the old naira notes still subsists and should be brought back into circulation by the CBN and should still be in use till the 31st December 2023. The Supreme court agreed with the plaintiffs that the presidency never consulted with the state governors and other relevant stakeholders in the council of state before taking the unilateral decision for currency redesign and that act has caused a lot of unimaginable hardship for the masses. 

It has so far been an interesting legal year already for every Nigerian and many Nigerians have been transfixed on knowing what the laws say and what the courts will do. I suggest that at this point, Nigerian judges should consider permitting video recording gadgets in their courtrooms to transmit live court sessions for interested persons to stream from their homes, especially this ongoing election appeal trial since it appears that the whole Nigeria is interested. 

Be sure that I will always come back with updates as the events unfold and you will always get to read them first here on Tekedia.

Yesterday, I watched on Instagram a video of (inarguably) the greatest footballer on earth, Cristiano Ronaldo playing a Nigerian song “Calm Down” by Rema” in his home. Seeing him vibe along to the song and merrily dance to its tune with his children I can not help but grin from ear to ear. Same yesterday, James Harden, one of the greatest basketball players was caught on camera singing to Burna boy’s “Shayo”. He was singing it word for word as if he was in the studio with Burna Boy when the song was recorded.

After seeing both videos coincidentally almost at the same time, I sat down and imagined how far afro beats and in general, African sounds have come. It grew from a local sound into territorial sound then into a regional tune and now it’s a worldwide tune, globally accepted with Nigerian artistes winning Grammy awards which is the world’s highest award in music honour and recognition; with Nigerian stars featuring and doing live performances for worldwide events; like Davido and Kizz Daniel performing for the World Cup 2022 with the whole world as their audience. 

African songs have really travelled across the continents, you may not believe that Nigerian artistes are doing sold-out music concerts in non-English speaking and Caribbean countries, that is how deep African sounds have penetrated deep down the earth. 

An American client once told me that African sounds are addictive and I think I will have to believe her.

Hollywood movie makers and other International movie producers now acquire copyrights to Nigerian music to be synced as soundtracks into their movie projects. For instance, Last November, I was contacted by Amazon prime through an intermediary about their intention to acquire a license to a song made by a Nigerian Artiste (Keasungs) whom I represent for them to use the music for the launch of the famous Savage x Fenty 2022 edition; Rihana’s popular brand. I could not contain my joy because of the thought that big International brands like Amazon prime and Fenty Fashion now acquire licenses and copyrights and pay good money for it for them to play African sounds in their events. 

Also, in January this year, producers of BET reached out to me as well expressing their intention to acquire the rights to at least ten pieces of African music to be synced as a soundtrack into a movie project they are working on which was starred by the famous and beautiful Gabrielle Union. 

These and many more are my personal examples and testimonies of how much the African sounds; the euphonious Nigerian Afrobeats, the mellifluous South African Amapiano, the melodious Congolese Makossa etc are doing at the international music market. 

This is a wake-up call to Venture capitalist firms, Investment bankers, money individuals and commercial banks to start looking into investing in African music; I’m not talking about investing in discovering and nurturing upcoming artistes or investing in record labels; they are part of it but I’m specifically talking about investing in the acquisition of music rights and music catalogues of some legendary African musicians who have made a name for themselves in music as that is the liquid gold. This I have come to find out through my recent dealings with international Media firms who have shown interest in the usage of African sounds in their projects; I can categorically tell you that African sounds are of high value in the world music market. 

The good thing about investing in music is that the music stock will never go low, it is a stable investment; music will always exist till the end of time. Bad economy, war, or government policies will never affect the value of music to drive it down.
As a way of taking the lead, my law firm has been acquiring music copyrights from African upcoming and star artistes and we also act as intermediates between the artistes and international moviemakers who want African music to be synced as a soundtrack for the movie, organization who want to get a copyright on African music they are interested in using for jingle and commercials or for any other purpose.

Therefore, let us partner in taking African music to the nooks and crannies of the earth and let us as well help you get a music licence or copyrights for any African song you may be interested in. Also, as a music maker let us help you project your sound by acquiring the copyrights and subleasing them to big boys of the entertainment industry.

A cryptocurrency’s ecosystem opens doors to a new way of receiving, storing, and sharing data. It is important to know that your chosen crypto has a secure ecosystem supported by a strong community that ensures the project’s development. Dogetti (DETI), a new meme coin in the crypto space, offers a powerful ecosystem that has won the hearts of its loyal community.

How does Dogetti’s ecosystem compare to those of live-market coins such as Stellar (XLM) and Aptos (APT)?

Dogetti’s Ecosystem Gives More to the Family

Everyone is talking about Dogetti. Because of its tight-knit family supporting the project and ecosystem, this new revolutionary meme token attracts a lot of investors looking to capitalize on the coin’s presale.

Dogetti has always been about giving back to the family, allowing all coin holders to generate more wealth just by holding DETI in their crypto wallets. Currently, Dogetti is on its presale, which has been successful so far, selling over 4 billion tokens and raising more than $300,000 in just a few weeks.

One of Dogetti’s greatest features is its healthy ecosystem, which includes DogettiDAO and DogettiNFT.

The DogettiDAO allows its family to make decisions together, shaping the future of the project. Everyone is encouraged to participate in votes, giving them a voice and a sense of belonging–each vote is valuable to the project’s growth. Moreover, each family member can earn rewards just by participating in the decision-making process.

Aside from its DAO, Dogetti also offers unique NFTs (non-fungible tokens) or digital assets, which let coin holders adopt their own Dogetti puppy–another additional member of the family!

These NFTs have the potential to breed and grow in future developments. Users can then sell their NFTs in exchange for crypto coins. This possibility can open doors where token holders collect and own these digital assets while generating wealth through them.

Stellar Welcomes New Ecosystem Upgrade

Stellar is known as one of the oldest blockchain protocols in crypto history but has good news about its ecosystem. Although it suffered alongside other coins during the crypto winter, it will make a comeback with a massive bull run after the announcement of its new innovation Soroban.

Soroban is Stellar’s way of getting into the De-Fi (decentralized finance) and smart contract-enabled world. It will allow innovators and developers to create new applications that would be purposeful for both XLM and the digital currency ecosystem all in all.

With Soroban, users can now create NFTs, DEXs (decentralized exchanges), as well as oracles if they can improve Stellar’s ecosystem.

As of March 1st, XLM’s price is at $0.08823, with a market cap of $2 billion.

Aptos Price Unaffected by NFT Ecosystem Upgrade

Aptos witnessed its NFT ecosystem’s growth at the beginning of February, with METAPIXEL announcing its feline NFT collections launch on the Aptos network as well as revealing its official music video.

The spreading fame of their NFTs was even confirmed by Santiment’s chart, showing that the digital asset’s NFT trade counts and volume in USD increased. So far, it looks like good news for APT holders.

However, after the announcements of developments, the coin’s price took a turn for the worse at the beginning of February. From a price of $18.32 on February 2nd, it went down to a price of $13.22 on February 9th. Even though Aptos announced the launch of its v1.2, there was no improvement in its market performance.

The price at the beginning of March seems to be recovering, with the coin currently at the price of $13.33 with a total market cap of $2 billion.

A lot of coins out there boast a healthy ecosystem, which makes or breaks your returns. All of the three tokens mentioned above have a great blockchain ecosystem, but you should still analyze and compare which one you should invest in.

Dogetti is currently on its presale and is offering its family code WISEGUY25, which gives you an extra 25% $DETI on your purchase.

Since the creation of the very first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), in 2009, the industry has catapulted into a platform worth billions and, as we speak, carrying the potential of being declared a formal medium of payment as several government authorities across the world ponder the possibilities of doing so in the form of introducing regulation on crypto.

Recognizing its potential, hundreds of new currencies are entering the crypto marketplace and are currently in their Initial Coin Offer (ICO) or presale, as commonly known among investors. ICOs have become the primary method for new cryptocurrencies to raise the capital they need to achieve their goals and initiate new ideas and develop the project as it goes. More so, Initial Coin Offers allow investors to acquire tokens at very low prices before they are accessible to the general public.

Big Eyes Coin (BIG), C+Charge (CCHG), and JournArt (JART) are a few of the latest cryptos to have launched their presale, and as 2023 has been identified as the year for crypto, these new entries may be the best new cryptos to invest in 2023.

Big Eyes Coin: Making the Big Presale Gains Before Live Launch

Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is a new ERC-20 meme token built on the Ethereum Network with KYC certification by CoinSniper and its contract code fully audited by Solidarity Finance. The project is community-owned, and it assures that Big Eyes Coin will be 90% available to its community when it goes live on the market in May 2023.

The meme token, which launched its presale in August 2022, has become the most successful presale in recent times for cryptocurrency due to the impressive numbers and offers over the past few months. Now in stage 12 of its ICO, Big Eyes Coin has raised an impressive $31 million in presale tokens and is set to go live on the market when it reaches its target of $50 million.

A Big Eyes Coin token is currently selling at $0.00049, a 390% increase from its presale launch price in stage 1 of $0.0001. In theory, if an investor had purchased $1000 worth of BIG tokens in stage 1, they would receive 10,000,000 of Big Eyes Coin tokens at launch, while a similar purchase at the current price of $0.00049 would earn an investor 2,040,816 BIG coins at the launch date. So in simple terms, it is a buy now to get more scenario, as the tokens are selling fast.

Given the success it was having, Big Eyes Coin expanded its portfolio by accepting Tether (USDT), as well as Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Tron Reword Coin (TRC20), TRON (TRX), and Binance USD (BUSD) in addition to Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), to purchase a BG token.

C+Charge: Rewards for Eco-friendly Trading

C+Charge (CCHG) is fully verified and audited to ensure 100% anti-rug and project security, with an objective to change the world with blockchain technology by enabling EV drivers the ability to earn rewards that have previously been reserved for large corporations and entities.

C+Charge, which is also in its presale stage, is the first on-chain or off-chain platform that allows EV drivers to earn carbon credits simply by driving and charging their vehicles. Now in stage 5, C+Charge has raised over $1.9 million in presale tokens and is set to go live in March 2023.

JournArt: The NFT Spark

JournArt (JART), an NFT-oriented project, is an adventurous and spontaneous coin that has been built on the Binance Smart Chain network. With NFTs of Adorable JournArt DoGirls, JART’s developers guarantee it will spark significant emotions, great satisfaction, and joy, and the longer you hold them, the more you get. JournArt is a secure project with KYC and Audit by SECURI LAB.

JournArt has entered stage 1 of its presale and has raised $306,939 presale tokens and will progress to stage 2 upon raising $365,000 in presale tokens.
