#HappyBirthday! Shef @Options_24Seven is 40!! #Ibadan to SHUT DOWN at #Friday nite's party!

Shef the CEO of Options 24/7 club, Ibadan Nigeria

Shef turns 40 today! One of Nigeria's most popular club owners celebrates at his famous club tonight! Not only does he run a great business, he is also a very well known personable figure in the music, radio and altogether entertainment business in Nigeria. Options 24/7 is the club and it is situated in my hometown the city of Ibadan which is the largest city in West Africa.

Shef is a shrewd and savvy businessman. His interview on Splash FM 105.5 in Ibadan said it all. He creates jobs, wants people to learn how to work the business sector. Go to school, get an education, learn English and get a good paying job. He runs a great business and yes I live behind the club so my Thursday and Friday nights are not short of music streaming into my bedroom.

Options serves a lot of events, young and old, elite and the whole city in fact. Radio station events are so wonderful in there. The food is awesome, The drinks are so affordable. See you tonight!

Happy 40th Birthday Shef!

AMY WINEHOUSE PERFORM WITH HER BLACK GODDAUGHTER AT A BIG PARTY.

AMY WINEHOUSE has given her goddaughter another career boost by performing alongside the 12-year-old at a star-studded party. The Black to Black hitmaker was booked to appear at the Prince’s Trust End of the Summer Ball in London on Thursday (25Sep08) night.

And she surprised the celebrity-packed audience by marching on stage with Dionne Bromfield, allowing the youngster to sing with her. Earlier this year (May08) Winehouse recorded a duet with Bromfield. Their version of Alicia Keys' hit track If I Ain't Got You was later posted on video sharing website YouTube.

Above is the video when it was loaded 4 months ago by Pete. I subscribe to Pete's YouTube site. This is not the actual party. Just the rehearsal. This video was 25 hits when I first saw it. Now 144,000 and 513 comments! Oh, I mean Pete Doherty, Amy's druggie pal.

The chic on the right on the other side of this flyer when you click events on Tiltrock's website and some male promoters threw fists and a fight broke out with Toronto police outside totally unaware what was going on inside.

Scrappy said goodbye to me and there went clubgoers $100 VIP tickets for the night! Imperial (below), President of Tiltrock Records made a videotaped statement to HipHossip!
