NAETO C & M.I WRAP UP THE HENNESSY ARTISTRY CLUB TOUR

Tonight, two of Nigeria's biggest hiphop acts will headline the finale of the Hennessy Artistry Club Tour, at the Octopus Reloaded in Lagos.

Rising acts, Rayce and Ms Jaie will join the iconic rappers to deliver another historic Hennessy Artistry party.

On September 28^th, M.I and Naeto C treated fans to an epic performance at Deuces, Lagos, and anticipation levels are on the high for tonight's entertainment.

Since the beginning of this year’s project, Hennessy Artistry has taken over the entertainment industry; proving again, why it is the biggest music platform in Nigeria – a country whose music industry is regarded as the most vibrant in Africa.

Since Hennessy Artistry was first unveiled in Nigeria in 2007, Hennessy Cognac has maintained its position as Nigeria’s, and the world’s leading cognac brand. The platform has since evolved from a cocktail-mixing contest between renowned bartenders, to a DJ battle, and is now an important
platform for experimental collaborations between multi-talented artistes.

A play for 3rd place

Maybe it was nervousness, or panic, or  just the way it was meant to be, but the Black Maidens of Ghana lost to France on Tuesday, October 9th by two goals to nothing at the semifinal match of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Azerbaijan.

France controlled the game for the most part, and it got even tougher for Ghana, after attacker Jane Ayieyam was booked with a yellow card for the second time.

It was a VERY tough match - the only match to make it to a penalty shoot-out so far in the tournament. Nigeria's Flamingoes made their exit from the U-17 Women's World Cup after a 3:5 loss to France.
