Don Baba J!!! REVEALED :The Exotic Lifestyle of the Don Jazzy!

Don Jazzy, as he is fondly called by his fans and all, needs no introduction in the Nigerian music industry. He has been the unseen hand in the music of most emerging Nigerian acts. The Don indeed has seen it all; as a label owner, a musician, and a producer.

Michael Collins Ajereh was the name given to him by his parents. He eventually acquired the stage name Don Jazzy in his launch into music. He hails from Delta state, but was born in Umuahia in Abia state 31 years ago on November 26th, 1982.

Early Life

His family after his birth relocated to Ajegunle in Lagos state. The Don was raised in Ajegunle city of Lagos state. At age 12, he developed love for the bass guitar. He graduated from Federal Government College Lagos and went further to study Business Management at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma in Edo state.

Don Jazzy moved to London in the United Kingdom in 2000 after his Uncle invited him to play the drums for a neighborhood Church. Today the Don is rated as the richest music producer/ act in Nigeria and the second richest music personality in Africa.

He is the CEO of Mavin Record label, a record producer, singer-songwriter and a musician. Don Jazzy has won so many awards to his label. He was also formally the CEO of the popular Nigerian record label, MO Hits Records with D’banj as the only artiste.

Mavins Record label

Don Jazzy is a brand without mincing words. According to reports from some artistes, Mavin Record label is arguable the best label in Nigeria. His label has given leverage to top musical icons like Tiwa Savage, Dr Sid, Prince, Wande Coak and many others who signed on. He was D’banj’s producer, business partner and friend until MO Hits Records dissolved and the duo officially parted ways.

Endorsements and Production credit

Don Jazzy has made so much money from endorsements, callertunes and foreign collaborations. He recently signed a multi-million naira deal with MTN. The endorsement from MTN was for N25m.

He also signed another contract worth millions of naira with Samsung, Africa; the deal was for a N100m. Don Jazzy was paid N50m for being the newest brand ambassador of Loya milk. His production credits for foreign collaborations include working with Snoop Doggy, Kanye West, Beyonce and Jay Z.

Music studio

According to report, Don Jazzy is set to unveil a new recording studio estimated at over N500m. He said in a statement that his studio is going to be a world class studio which is constructed by international sound engineers who have worked with acclaimed international producers.

Houses, club and cars

 

To say that Mavin Record Boss is  having a swell time living his dream is an understatement. He recently got himself a befitting mansion which cost him more than N300m. According to the reports the mansion is only one of the many properties he had acquired in the choicest part of Lagos as he is in the business of investing on properties and loves driving cool expensive cars. He has a club known as POP which cost him a whooping sum of N50m to build, but has decided to shut it down because of unforseen circumstance.

Although he is perceived to be a calm person, this has not stopped his love for beautiful exotic cars. He was seen cruising in a Porsche which is valued at over N22m. His other car is a Bentley which cost him about N65m to purchase amongst others. He recently took a photograph of his Bentley and uploaded it with a tweet; he described it as “one of his most expensive cars”. Another report has it that he has another car which cost him about N150m to purchase.

Gifts

Don Jazzy has always proven that he has a heart of gold, if he is not giving people money or cars, he is busy employing people. Sometime ago, he was at the airport on his way to South Africa for MTV Base award. And there was this airport cart operator who was doing his work when the Don arrived at the airport. It was one of those days when he felt like doing something interesting and he had asked the cart operator to let him drive.

He and the cart operator who is a staff of Delta Airlines drove through the airport on the shuttle/ golf cart. He was asked by the management to stop the cart or the man would be fired. He eventually stopped it, unfortunately the man was fired. Don Jazzy ended up employing the man. It would also be recalled that Don Jazzy gave Tiwa Savage a car gift of about N16m as her wedding present. The car is a brand new Prado SUV. Don Jazzy was also one of the few that stood by popular musician known as OJB financially during his trying times.

Mikel Obi – the undisputed ‘king’ of the Eagles

It is not a surprising feature for a player in the national team or a club side to arrogate powers to himself or be given those powers by the collusion or non-collusion of the technical team and it could go beyond the normal. It has happened, it is happening and it will continue to happen. What is abnormal is that the story of mikel obi having such powers in the super eagles is just coming out now after the 2014 world cup.

It took the war of words between mikel and emmanuel emenike to expose the rift and the swell of angst that had built up over time against the chelsea midfielder.

But we had inkling about what was transpiring when a player that represented the eagles at the 2013 confederations cup revealed that the team had to follow mikel’s leading on the pitch because everyone had to adjust to his mood and position regardless of what coach stephen keshi had told the team.

“We needed to see the position he would play before you decide on where to play.” This scenario played out at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Cup and it led to Nosa Igiebor being dropped after the first game against Zambia because he did not agree to be ‘elastic’ and ‘malleable’. Or in simple terms – he was supposed to adjust his game to suit Mikel’s game, this he did not do and other players that were ready to do that bidding got the nod ahead of him in subsequent matches.

Mikel also has a history of totally disregarding the Nigerian press, assuming an air of arrogance that totally aggravated people.

During the World Cup qualifiers, ‘king’ Mikel always had two bodyguards with him in Calabar always, these two guys also acted in other capacities, which were totally against camp rules but the coach could not drop him because he was playing a critical role in developing the team that the coach was building.

Eyewitness account said Mikel spoke disparagingly to Ramon Azeez for a hard tackle at training which totally sucked the confidence out of the young midfielder – a situation that had persisted over time as the ‘king’ could to be marked in training or the marker could incur the wrath of the supposed ruler of the Eagles kingdom.

Emenike, who plays in Turkey in Fenerbahce and is reasonable well off told Mikel off. The clash almost degenerated into fisticuffs but for the intervention of some other players and officials of the Nigeria Football Federation.

Emenike was said to have asked Mikel how much he earns at Chelsea that he would not allow everybody any moment’s rest. He added that if Mikel was not ready to play for the country, he should go back to his club. The coach was said to have settled that infraction but the seed of mistrust and discord has been sown in the team.

Against France, a top NFF official disclosed to African Football that Mikel kicked against the introduction of Azeez in place of the injured Ogenyi Onazi. And television pictures showed that Azeez was the first player called for by Keshi before he ‘had a change of mind’ or had his mind changed and Reuben Gabriel was preferred to the Almeria midfielder.

“Mikel made it very clear to Keshi that he did not wish for Ramon [Azeez] to play alongside him in midfield and that was why Azeez was asked to sit down.” That was taking his power to the wrong level as it may have cost his country that he swore to defend.

But Mikel has always been a bit full of himself – maybe as regarding journalists, whom he believes are always out to beg him for handouts. One colleague spoke of a meeting with the Eagles midfielder at his club, Chelsea FC in London, but even after introducing himself as being from Nigeria, he was then completely snubbed. But that colleague went on to have good conversations with John Terry and Frank Lampard – these are established world-class superstars; they welcomed the Nigerian reporter’s questions and dropped him off at the train station afterwards. The Bible says that the Lord hates the proud and that pride goes before a fall.

But all of this would have mattered little – good or excellent players are supposed to have a chip on their shoulder, but for the fact that all this pomposity did not translate to any good performances on the pitch at the World Cup and his rating amongst Nigerian football fans took such a buffeting that by the end of the match against France, Nigerians had devised a moniker for the Chelsea man; the unit of slowing down is now known as a Mikel.

Mikel’s career will start to unravel very soon as most fans are quite fed up with his way of playing for the national team and at his club.  With the arrival of Cesc Fabregas, it remains to be seen if the gauge of his pride – Chelsea, would remain his domain.

Of all the No.10s that have shown up in Brazil, Mikel made the least contribution to his team. We can talk extensively about Neymar for Brazil; James Rodriguez for Colombia; Lionel Messi for Argentina, Karim Benzema for France and even Bryan Ruiz for Costa Rica but about the Nigerian the picture is of him complaining of being dispossessed of the ball and urging his mates to get it back for him. At Chelsea, he cannot do that but he is afforded that luxury with the national team but still he failed to perform!

See the richest president in the world and his filthy rich lifestyle (See Photos)

On one side, there’s the world’s richest man and the first from a developing country with net worth of $69 billion, Carlos Slim Helu who doesn’t believe in conspicuous consumption and lives in modest home with no interest in flashy super yachts, cars, jets or palatial house across the globe.



On the other hand, here’s the Russian President Vladimir V. Putin who is rumored to be among the world’s wealthiest men, with a fortune worth tens of billions, which he of-course denies. Born in a middle class Soviet family, Putin who also once compared ruling Russia to being a ‘galley slave’ reportedly lives a ‘king-size’ lifestyle with access to Presidential perks including four grand yachts, 20 homes with opulent fittings, 58 aircrafts with one Russian-made Ilyushin Presidential jet with a $75,000 toilet, not to forget Putin’s ultra-expensive watch collection worth $700,000.
See pictures of his acquired asset including his expensive air bus, yatch, cars mansion and lots more below
“I have worked like a galley slave throughout these eight years, morning till night,” said President Putin to media in 2008. However, the $2.5 billion a year lifestyle unraveled in the report titled ‘The Life of Galley Slave’ by the opposition parties says otherwise.
Vladimir Putin’s Homes & Palaces

This alleged Russian President has a total of 20 palatial residences, including the recent mysterious $950 million outlandish Italianate palace located on the Black Sea coast. Other palaces include Constantine Palace, a Czarist-era estate on the Gulf of Finland, a ski lodge in the Caucasus Mountains, and a Gothic revival palace in the Moscow region, to name a few.



And, President Putin’s fleet of 58 aircrafts include 15 helicopters, along with 43 other aircrafts, including two Dassault Falcon executive jets, an Airbus, and an Ilyushin Il-96 airliner that features an $18-million cabin fitted out by jewelers from the monastery town of Sergiyev Posad, and a $75,000 toilet.
700 Ultra-luxurious vehicles

And, the President’s road commuting is handled by a fleet of some 700 ultra-luxurious vehicles, including some of the world’s most expensive cars.



Further, out of the four luxury yachts, one was a ‘gift’ from an affluent Russian billionaire, and the other 53.7-metre yacht comes with a designer interior, a spa pool, wine cellar and waterfall.

Notably, all of the photographs and figures in the much-talked about report comes from the public sources. However, this report doesn’t mentions that many of the properties it lists as presidential residencies also serve money-making functions, when the President is not staying there.
Interestingly, the Russian public opinion has mixed views about this official corruption.


Russian President’s official salary has been listed as $115,000, which is almost six times the worth of his watch collection of $700,000, which includes some of the world’s most expensive
