Mavin Records boss, Michael Ajereh popularly known as Don Jazzy has once again spoken on his marital status as he clocks 36 later in the year.
In an exclusive telephone chat with Saturday Beats, the ‘Dorobucci’ crooner noted that though he is in a relationship at the moment, he is not in a hurry to get married.
In his words, “I don’t bring up issues about my relationship status on purpose. People always talk about it though It is not difficult to find a wife; there are many beautiful women out there. It is not like I am ready; I am not the perfect version of what I would like to be to my wife and family.
I want to work on myself until I am ready. By the time I am ready, if someone still wants to be with me, that would be great. It is not like I am looking for a wife and cannot find one. There are lots of nice and beautiful ladies out there. I don’t think I am there yet. I am not in a hurry.
If time passes and nobody wants to marry me, then so be it but for now, I don’t feel I have worked on myself enough. I don’t want a scenario where I would get married and my music or business would take me away and the next thing would be that my wife would start complaining that I am hardly around.
Then people would start saying he doesn’t care about his family. I don’t need that type of talk in my life. Let me be on my own, whenever I am ready, I am ready. I have a girlfriend; I have had different girlfriends in the last 10 years. I can’t just be single; I never said I was celibate. The relationship can break, she can leave me and go, and it is possible.
“My other ex-girlfriends left me, they didn’t break my heart, they just moved on, some of them are married now, if they were still waiting for me, they won’t be married by now. People have their personal agendas and it is understandable. For me, I am not in a hurry.”
He also emphasised that he does not have a child outside wedlock, stressing that to the best of his knowledge, nobody has had a child for him. He said,
“I didn’t hear anything about having a child outside wedlock. I don’t have a child yet or maybe somebody has a child for me somewhere and they don’t want me to know about it but I don’t know why they won’t want me to know about such a thing.If anyone has a child for me, they should bring the child forward. To the best of my knowledge, I don’t have a child yet.”

Balkis Adeniyi, a student at the Faculty of Science, University of Ibadan, has died in an accident that occurred on Mokola-Oyo Road in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Friday.
Eyewitnesses said the accident also left two other victims seriously injured as a tricycle popularly called Keke Napep, rammed into a waste disposal truck at Leventis area of Sango in the metropolis.
The accident occurred around 9:30am while the student was returning from a bank where she had gone to pay her school fees. The police gave the number plate of the tricycle as RU 152 UP and described the truck as ‘MARC LAMMERTYN’. An eyewitness, Bamgbose Omobola, blamed the crash on speeding on the part of the tricycle driver, adding that the victim (Adeniyi) died immediately after the accident.
The eyewitness said, “the lady was coming from a bank at Ajibade where she had gone to pay her school fees. “Her phone and bag were recovered. When the bag was searched, her school identity card was found there. She was a student of UI. We contacted her parents. The two other victims who had injuries in the heads and legs had been taken to a hospital for treatment.”
Confirming the tragedy, the Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Olugbenga Fadeyi, said, “Yes, it was true. “The Divisional Police Officer, Mokola Police Station, confirmed it to me and we have commenced investigation into the matter.”
The presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), Professor Kingsley Moghalu, has taken a swipe at Nigerian youths for the role they played during the recently held general elections.
Moghalu, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, regretted that the young populations did not make their presence felt during the polls.
“The biggest disappointment was with the youths. The youth vote was absent. They make a lot of noise, they rant and rail but you will not see them on the voting day. And when they vote, they don’t vote in line with their rhetoric,” he said.
When asked if the polls witnessed improvement when compared to 2015, Moghalu noted that chaos marred some polling centres coupled with an alleged organisational efficiency and effectiveness shortly before the commencement of voting.
“The organisational efficiency and effectiveness of the election was generally weak. We saw it. First, it was postponed at the last minute and in many parts of the country, there was chaos at the polling booths especially in rural areas.”
The founder of Jesus Intervention Household Ministry, Ejigbo, Lagos, Chizemdere Ezuma, 32, who was recently arrested, reportedly tried to sexually molest a suspect he was kept with in a cell at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters cell in Ikeja.
