“I’d love to marry Genevieve, my story is not complete without her” – Dbanj

 

Dbanj is obviously still in love with Genevieve and the best part is that he is planning to produce a movie called Banga Lee staring Genevieve.

In a recent interview with PUNCH, D’banj disclosed how much he loves the Nollywood actress.

See excerpts below:

 “Apart from the fact that she is my friend, she has been a part of my success. There is no way you are going to tell my story that Genevieve’s name will not come up because she featured in my biggest song of all time, Fall in Love. So if E True Story comes to Nigeria to interview me, she will definitely be called upon to tell my story.I would love to have Genevieve as my wife.  We never can tell what God plans for us in the future. I have studied her and I realised that anyone that has her as his woman has found himself a treasure. Just like the Bible says, any man who finds a wife, finds a good thing.”

ON REMAINING RELEVANT

“So much has happened in the last 18 months and I am very thankful to God. By the Grace of God, I have remained relevant for nearly a decade in the music industry and I have released hit songs every year. Also, I am glad that I have been chosen to headline the Hennessy Artistry this year. This is one brand that understands the importance of aligning with the entertainment industry.
My career is barely 10 years old.But with the success I have achieved so far, it feels like three decades already. Within my first 10 years as a musician, I have recorded the biggest song and shot the most viewed music video of all time, ‘Oliver Twist’. I must say I am humbled and getting ready to take over,”

On DONJAZZY

“If I say I don’t miss Don Jazzy, I am lying. I have spent the better part of my career with him. I was married to him in a way (laughs). So I miss everything about Mo’Hits: the family, the movement, and the vibe of being in the studio with him. I miss the jokes and the arguments, but I have since keyed into the notion that nothing can stop a moving train.

“Nevertheless we can always do music together. The track, ‘Top of the World’ was produced by a Grammy Award Winner. The songs ‘Finally’ and ‘Don’t Tell Me Nonsense’ was produced by my producer while ‘Oliver Twist’ was produced by Don Jazzy. So, why won’t I have him on my 10 years anniversary album?

On his success

“I have never said I am a musician; I am an entertainer. Some people say I can pick up a microphone and become a comedian. Therefore nobody should come and ask if I want to go into acting because they should know I am already an actor. It depends on when the right script and concept lands in my hands.
“For now, I am concerned about achieving new things and breaking new grounds. By the time I enter Hollywood, I believe that I’ll become as successful as I have been as a singer. The movie titled ‘I am Banga Lee’, starring Genevieve, to be released in 2014, won’t be a bad idea,”

Want to fall pregnant? Step on it.

Abuja - Reflexology may be a well-studied and analysed form of alternative therapy, but boy it inspires terrible foot jokes.

This is largely due to the fact that it took me three weeks to build up enough courage to call the reflexologist because I hate having my feet touched.

I have the world’s most ticklish steppers. I giggle in pedicures and have set off entire rooms of women being primped and painted as I’ve sat and snorted during a foot massage.

Considering that this alternative therapy of reflexology is an hour of having bits of your foot prodded, poked and rubbed I just knew that it wasn’t going to be pretty.

Let’s take a look at why I chose reflexology as another route towards curing my infertility. It is another ancient practice that emerged from the Egyptians and the Chinese and has been carried down through the years by wise people who are not averse to touching other people’s feet. You couldn’t pay me enough…

Practitioners of the art believe that the foot is a map of the human body and each part is linked to systems and organs within. A moment of pressure here, a squeeze over there and an expert has deftly manipulated your Fallopian tubes or eased your ovaries into a happier state. There are, of course, detractors, as with any alternative course of medicine, and some studies have shown that alternative medicines have been found to reduce the effectiveness of fertility by as much as 30%.

I must confess that that the research did make me dig in my heels (sorry) a bit. However, one man’s negative study is another woman’s bonny baby so who was I to deny my ovaries another possible boost?

Goodness knows nothing else has worked so far as I remain stubbornly barren.

My arrival at the studio was a pleasant one. Warm rooms, lovely lighting and pleasantly piped music lulled me into a false sense of security. I drifted happily into the chair and sat down calmly. A giggling pedicure the day before meant my toes were as glossy as a supermodel on fashion day and I spared a moment to glance at them admiringly. Then she started to work. I’m not going to lie here, I gripped the sides of the chair as if I was being electrocuted and my back shot up into a stiffened rod of horror. It was awful. If you have sensitive feet or hate having anyone go near them, reflexology is not going to make you relax, but it doesn’t need to.

According to the experts reflexology’s success rate doesn’t only lie in helping patients to relax and unwind, it can repair imbalances in hormones and reproduction as well as promoting the regulation of systems for improved fertility.

I was lucky, my expert completely understood how sensitive I was about my feet and immediately reduced the amount of pressure she used and worked far more carefully around the pressure points. I never completely relaxed, but I did feel slightly euphoric when I left. In addition to that, I had a similar experience as I did when I tried out Reiki, I had an absolutely fantastic night’s sleep.

Will this finally be the treatment I need to fall pregnant? I’m going to try a few more sessions and see how the month pans out, even though the experience isn’t exactly what I would call fun. If you fancy giving it a try visit the South African Reflexology Society to find a registered practitioner in your area.

Remember, don’t be lame and dismiss the idea of an alternative treatment for pregnancy.

Would you try reflexology to get pregnant?
