Chidinma's Birthday today

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHIDINMA AKA MISS KEDIKE

I am not in love - Chidinma Ekile

Chidinma Ekile

Emerging as the first ever female winner of the MTN Project Fame competition, Chidinma Ekile, aka Miss Kedike has continued to steal the hearts of music lovers in Nigeria with great songs earning her different awards across Africa. She talks to Entertainment Rave candidly in this interview about her life and career.

How would you want to describe the state of your career at the moment?
Let me say it’s interesting, though I’m not where I want to be but I’m happy with where I am right now. I have recorded quite a number of achievements, so I don’t regret where I am at the moment.

What are the things working for you and the ones working against you?
I don’t think there is anything working against me; everything is working perfectly for me. I have a fantastic team that ensures everything goes as planned and it has made my life very easy.

What will you say is the best thing that has happened to your brand?
The best thing right now is winning the KORA Award. It’s not even about winning the award but the fact that I have been accepted by other African countries. What I have always wanted is to be seen as that young girl recognized as an African icon because it means a lot to me.

Do you have any winning principle that is working for you?
Yes, one step at a time. I do not try to worry about something I know I can’t change. I just do the best that I can do and leave the rest. I feel very excited because people now look beyond the music. They get inspired when they see me and that alone has kept me going.

What are you working on at the moment?
I'm working on my album right now. I’m working with different producers and artistes trying out new things. A lot of people wonder aloud: “are you sure this is Chidinma”? So I’m just trying out a lot of things and testing waters. I’m moving out of my comfort zone actually.

Why are you on low cut?
First of all, I was having issues with my hair and I went online to check out all sorts of hairstyles. I just told the barber to cut it and I liked the new look. I still wasn’t optimistic about it until we did a photo shoot and the outcome was amazing. It also makes me look different and I have no plans to change it.

What has been your greatest challenge so far in your career?
I used to have challenges as a very young and new artiste. Before now, there are lots of things I don't understand about the industry but thank God for the kind of team I have, they put me through a lot of things. While I was in Project Fame, we used to perform other artistes songs and I didn't know what it was like to write your own songs and the people also accepting it. So I actually struggled to know what people want and it was a big problem while I was recording my first album.

What exactly does 'Kedike' mean?
Kedike depicts love actually. It’s a love song we intended to make commercial. It was hard when we started working on it but we eventually achieved the hit. We actually invented the word ‘Kedike’.

That means you understand so much about love?
I'm not in love, so I don't know. The fact that I sing about it doesn't mean I’m in love. That is why music is an art; you have to put yourself in that position. Like actors, they don't act everything that happens to them. They get scripts from directors and just act. You are reaching out to people and to convince them, you need to act and put yourself in their shoes. So I don't know what love is because I’m not in love.

I guess you want to be discreet about your relationship?
Not exactly. I’m not in any relationship and I’m not in love.

What is the truth about your relationship with Adams of Soundcity?
Yeah, I heard that story but I believe this kind of things come with the job. I have decided to put myself in the public eye and every now and then, there will be stories, but I don't have a problem with that because I know it comes with the job I do and I am ready for it. So far I’m making my money; any other thing does not matter.

What is the greatest thing stardom has done to you?
Everywhere I go; people actually want to talk to me. They want to know me and it feels really good, though it can be really frustrating sometimes but it is the life I have chosen. It’s a good thing that people see you and appreciate what you are doing.

Do you think there is any misconception about your brand or about you as a person?
I don’t think there is any. From day one, I have made it really clear who I am. Though there was a struggle knowing how to place the brand but it eventually happened.

At a point in your career, do you ever think your height might be a disadvantage?
I have always been more than confident in myself. I have never felt there is something I can’t do. I always have that mindset that my size has nothing to do with where I want to be. My mum says to me that you can be anything you want to be. You can achieve anything so far your mind is in it and you work towards it. So I believe I can do anything no matter my height.

What is your greatest inspiration?
God has been my greatest inspiration. Sometimes, I just feel like there is nothing in my head but God always make it happen. My God is the God of all possibilities and he is my greatest inspiration. My mum too has always been there for me.

What is your take on controversy?
Controversy can be a good thing and it can also be a bad one but I don't really like controversy because it just makes people perceive you wrongly.

What was the first thing that came to your mind when you were appointed MTN Ambassador?
I was not shocked because I felt it’s overdue. I was happy nevertheless because it’s a good thing, so I just smile and thank God.

What is your idea of a better Nigerian music industry?
My idea of a better Nigerian music industry is when a lot of people come and accept good music. In Nigeria, we are beginning to forget about good music. We think we have too many problems that we need to forget about and we just dance away our sorrows. I'm not saying this because I think my music is too good but I just think we should not forget to have good and proper music in place.

The Real Story Behind The Sex Scandal of Nigeria's Wonder-woman, Miss Ekile Chidinma AKA Miss Kedike...

Hello Nigerians! Please take time read this and see what better to the world and most especially, our own Nigerians. Drop your comments after reading, thanks...

First of all, it was the news of her posting nude pictures online that sprung forth: For God sake, if leaving your head, neck area and above the burst area open is now nude then what do we say of other artist who show off their bikinis, Jen-stings, bras and others... ‪#‎Hypocrites‬!!!
Then it was the rumour of her being chased out/suspended from the church because of her indecent dressing, recent style of singing/music: I went further to the extent of inviting rumour carriers to her church to come and watch her still sing with the choir, comes for rehearsals often and still a regular church member... I even promised to sponsor their transportation...
Now, its the news of her porns all over the internet... Why are people so wicked??? They even said 'they saw her with her lumia in the video...

Here are some things we just have to reason before conclusion. And this we all saw in that same video:

*...No artist in the world, no matter how stupid he/she may be will EVER do such and INTENTIONALLY look straight into the cameras.
*...No artist will EVER do such and get it INTENTIONALLY recorded...

I have gone on a deep research on that video. Played, paused, replayed and played from a screen that portrays the normal human size when its 4.5m far away from the projector. And here are facts and similarities from that video:

---FACT: Chidinma has a Nokia lumia...
TRUTH: The so called Nokia lumia on that video was a DVD remote. (Only God knows what the lady was doing with a DVD remote at that moment: If only they weren't following up another porn that was being played at that moment...

---FACT: Chidinma also carries a low-cut as hairstyle.
TRUTH: But hers is a round low-cut: For God sake, the hairstyle of the lady on that video is 'Fade-out' which I've NEVER seen chidinma carry from her days at ketu till now at ikorodu...

---FACT: Chidinma is light in complexion and average in height as the lady in that video.
TRUTH: this lady is still few centimetres taller than chidinma.‪#‎smiles‬#...

---FACT: Chidinma has always have this young facial appearance than her age as that of that lady.
TRUTH: Chidinma is facially younger and prettier than that lady on the video...

Here are some questions you should ask yourself before you go ahead judging her:
1... Why was she doing it with fun and still INTENTIONALLY look into the cameras???

2... Why would she do such and get it recorded???

3... Didn't it ever occurred to her that such video could be used as a threat to her career or even the holder using her to make money by threat???

4... Why was the uploader never disclosed??? Maybe he would have been rotting in jail right now...

5... And the biggest of them all. If voice was used to detect its original owner, that we should have known if it was chidinma and ask her 'why' or if it was someone else and ask who she was working for. WHY was the video without an audio???

All these and many other questions that arises should struck one first but we nigerians prefer judging on sight.
I am always so proud of this lady whenever I see her. I always look to the heavens and smile because of her courage. Because not every celebrity will be in such condition as chidinma's and still carry on happily. She has proven to be the STRONGEST woman in the entertainment industry by her maturity and calm approach to such scandal...
Every other ordinary woman should be mentally, psychologically, or emotionally affected at this point in time yet come and watch this wonder-woman dance 'skillessly' to God's praise amongst her fellow chorister in church...

######‪#‎Side‬ Attraction#####
"When God said 'For they perish and die like mare men Because they lack knowledge', I nw beleive He was somehow refering to Nigerian youths... 'I SORRY for all of una Wey no mind una business'...
'Eyin graduates wey be say na only to envy, gossip, biff and roam the country, constuting nuisance na im una sabbi'. May God forgive all of you.
Come to her church and See her still
singing with the choir...
She's a friend, neighbour, colleague, church member, role model, brand and very friendly person. And the most of all which you all are
Forgeting is that she's 'a bad gurl who loves God's
work'...
'Sit down there they watch her succeed and
enter heaven while u Wey dey gossip and envy match boldly into hell and perish in darkness...
‪#‎she‬ dey sleep under AC, u dey there right now dey pray make God no let the breeze and rain Wey won fall carry your roof#
OYO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so proud of her!!! Combine the accounts of all the biffers in the house, it can NEVER be close to her FAT account... Remember, ti a'ba mun eyin la'san, ama naa yin l'ego. ‪#‎Baba‬ God still dey by our side...
Mawo be# FILE!........ "

I'm just an ordinary person like you, who loves what is good that's why I came up with this write-up. 
This is no guess work but truth and from a reliable source because I am a friend, Colleague in church, neighbour and a die-hard fan of wonder-woman(chidinma). And I am working for nobody but the betterment of Nigeria and the rest of the world...

Let us 'see and always go for' what is good. For our words are sharper than a two edged sword. They kill slowly from the inside.
And all this people we kill today with our words thinking we are doing our environment good not knowing that same person is being followed as role-model by other thousand people; Like the great writer, Gbenga Gbelee will say: 'someone you kill today, a generation you destroy tomorrow'...
At this point in time in such people's life is when we should make friends with them if we haven't before/we should move closer to them, call them, sit them down, talk to them, see if its true. And if it is, know the cause, counsel them and guide them... ‪#‎For‬ while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us#...

So, which side do you belong: Good/Bad???
I remain Ogbe Nolvin Promise by name and I am for good and nothing less will I remain...
