The NewGreen Boys

Debo








I am Ogundoyin Edward Adebo. I currently study at babcock university in Nigeria, I study Agricultural engineering. Am the co-founder of New Green with my brother Ogundoyin Adetoye. New Green is a foundation that supports the lower class and the poor by providing basic amenities like food, shelter,clothing and most importantly education, because without proper education Nigeria would not develop expeditiously

I see New Green as the biggest private charity in West Africa in 14 years.



To touch peoples life is divine, ill have to say its the God in me


No hard knock lessons but ill say this "whether you think you can do it or not, you are right either way"


The single most important decision I have made is to always be optimistic and show gratitude.


No, I don't have a 9-5


N/A



People know everything they need to know bout me.


I can't pronounce "period" properly

I wish I could kill Drogba (chelsea player)

Play P.S 3

Have a drink with my friends

Watch a polo match

On weekends think about manchester united all day

Take a walk in a park.

My blackberry
Wallet
Watch.


Express gratitude to God. Visualize what I would achieve at the end of the day, week, month, year and decade.


A good week is one where every target you set for your self was achieved same goes for a good friday too.


D'banj any time



A bowl of cereal



Was good and quick.



Ill rather kitchen



I honestly believe so much in the good and difference new green can make. I also believe that the same God that gave us this idea has a purpose and direction for New Green in its quest for touching and changing lives. We accept any kind of support for New Green. Be part of a movement that you can believe, see and feel changing lives.

The NS1463 Mini Story


video

He is coming for you T. Perry... and his name is Edy!




EDY










My name is Edikan Bassey, also know as “Edy”. I am the CEO of StoneField Entertainment Group (SEG).



I see SEG becoming the most respected African company in showbiz. I also see SEG setting the blueprint for professionalism for other showbiz companies in the world.




First of all, we like it. Additionally, people enjoy and appreciative what we do. And the fact that part of the proceeds from every major stage play is donated to support a non-profit organization



Treat people the way you want to be treated




Being a Born Again Christian.




Yes, it’s called an MBA (Masters in Business Administration) graduate school LOL.





N/A




I love pancakes



South Africa will win the World Cup in 2010….:)



not sure which car I would prefer – an Audi A6 or a BWI 5 series,



Obama is the smartest president America has ever had,



still thinking of the 4th one….:)




Soccer


writing plays


playing musical instruments


talking to friends


driving


day dreaming.



My phone



my car



my cologne


Pray



Going on a road trip with fun people.




Ron Kenoly



Nothing




That would be hard to tell.



I feel like saying kitchen but that won’t be accurate…:)


Check out our website (http://www.stonefieldentertainment.com/) for updates on when the DVD for the Funny and Awesome African Stage Play –“Dollars n Sense” will be coming out.

JyDore


I was born to the name Babajide Olaoluwa Igun, but I now go by my artist name JyDore Omo Arsenal. Most of my padies call me Jyde or Jydore. I am a Graphic Design student at Towson University. I’m also an aspiring music artist whos debut album is to be released summer 2010. The ablum right now is titled “Starting Eleven”; the album is going to be one of a kind to be ever done, the Estate Records team and I are going to be putting the tracks together in a way that would give listeners and fans the experience of just listen to an album that makes a person feel like he/she just viewed a highly energetic soccer match. The album is going to have 11 tracks and 4 substituteslol (4 extra tracks)


I see my company being a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment and design industry world wide within the next 14 yrs.






I enjoy designing and singing, so for me to be doing ART and DESIGNS for a living would be a dream come true, because I have been drawing since my hands were able to lift up a pencil or pen. And as for me making music, what else can I say….I am Nigerian, WE all love music listen or sing it.





“Hard knock Lessons”…well the simple info or advise I could give is always have options in what ever you set to accomplish, because your first options might not me the solution to the goal you are trying to aspire to.



The single best decision have made in my 22 yrs of life, is understanding what the word “Family”means to me every single they of my life. And one more thing please remembering that all that I have accomplished in life is all thanks to the good mercy of GOD.




“”Do I have a 9-5” hahaha….Bros I wish, am just a full time student. “But I did go to a Holiday Inn last night, lol.”





I hope to never have a boss, am my own boss, by GODs’ grace I will have my own Graphic/Entertainment Company fully functional.






One thing people should know about me is that am more than just an Arsenal Fan…. “Gunners 4 Life”…LOL.





Hahaha…Bros, if I tell u my secrets then it no go be secrets anymore, nice try thou!






To unwind i…. “Wait will my Momsi and Popsi read this”, if so no comments!!!
Let’s just say I rep the Nigerian Colors to the fullest of my abilities…lol “Green White Green no be small thing” LMAO.



3 things I cant do without
a. My Momsi’s home cooked meals
b. Music
c. And SOCCER






The first thing I do in the morning is Grab my NS1463 Shirt (1 of the many I have) and Iron press it for a good day am about to have.






Bros….howfa now, u already know the answer to this. My definition of a good day or week is having my Arsenal Fc win all their games for that week or lets just say that a team in the English Premiership has “Devils” incorporated in the name lose all their games for that week. Omo that will make my Week or Day!!!



Beethoven, D’banj or Jay-Z…. Very well I respect the very late Sir Beethoven, D’banj is a true entertainer and Jay-Z and his old wrinkled face should go retire….and I mean retire, not all this comeback “Bullshyt” pardon my french please. Ok, we accept he’s talented, but its time for him to make way for the younger generations… “Has'nt he chopped enough money already!!!?”



What did I eat this morning? … Ha bros, things are tough oh, am a college student now! I believe the cherry topped breakfast platter at IHOP resturant… “I still get mouth even for a college student”.




Omo …that food hit that spot that is always disturbing you when you wake up. J








I no fit cook so nah drive thru





Thank You “NS”….I almost forgot “what does 1463 really stand for?, I have heard a lot of rumors, need an answer from the mastermind himself.”

*Neku, The Lover of Horses

Neku









Name: Neku,

Sport: Polo


i do not plan that far ahead, I do not think it is healthy. I am happy with the direction I am going. But in 14years I hope to have touched a lot of lives in different ways.



i love it- it makes me happy. This reason enough. Plus I love to win and compete.


"Many of life's failures are ppl who do not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Never ever give up!

to me, deciding to study horses as a degree! I learnt a lot more about what I love, and learnt different disciplines like dressage and show jumping.


never- and I have very little interest in sitting at a desk all day, when life is moving outside and the sun is shining, and the birds are singing


n/a

i like scars


i have no secrets......

Did you believe that? if I told u, I'd have to hack into your website and destroy it.


1) polo

2) polo

3) polo

4) polo

5) polo

6) and listen to bob marley (who I always sing when I play) *baby don't worry! About a thing! Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!*


Polo.

My family.

My dog




Depends on the day. You cannot know tomorrow, so I do what I need to. I say 'Thankyou God for keeping me alive to see another day'. I do not like mondays- cliche I know, but what can I say.



play a good game everyday, horses go well. Learn new things. And am presented and prepared for new opportunities.



seriously?? Any man that can play the Piano deaf gets my vote! Beethoven is an international legend. Personally, with classical music I prefer Gustav Mahler, his music is about death and sorrow, and it makes you feel very alive!



i always seem to be having breakfast in airport lounges or hotels these days. Today I had grapefruit and scrambled egg whites, with sausages.



was not memorable- but it did its job. Of all the lounges I have eaten at, the french lounge had the most boring food.



if my cousin will do the dishes, kitchen. Cause I am an amazing cook- hate when people say they cannot cook- basic necessity- I heard someone once say 'if you can't cook, you can't &*$#' :-s while that is extreme, people, cook!! The fresher the better!


Amor, salud y dinero

Dollars n Sense

Ok maybe it was better to have written this right after it happened.. well those in the bmore area would have at least heard of the play Dollars and Sense . what can I say.. u should have been there.

keep their names in your mind for bigger and better things from them in the near future. The show was very funny well directed and it packed more than enough laughs and a few social consciousness.. on a scale of 1-10. I’d give it a ten.. and believe I would have just kept quiet about the whole thing.. but I am tellin u that if they maintain and continue their clean from the ground hustle they will be a huge force

Anyway much love and enjoy the pics …

Falz The Bahd Guy


Falz

Thats quite a precise number of words. lol. Well, my real name is Folarin Falana but everyone knows me as Falz or Falz the Bahd guy! Im a Rapper/ Rap Artist/ Musician. You wouldn't be wrong to classify my music as Hip-Hop/ R n'B but at the same time i like to call it Afro-HipHop or Contemporary Rap. Im currently studying in the U.K so music is still a part-time job, so to speak.

. As if you knew of my intention. I see something massive in the near future. I know, as they say, its easier said than done but there are plans that i have been making these past few months with a couple of close pals and we actually see a potentially successful career emerging from the music that i'm making right now. Its definitely going to take a lot of hard work and evolution but in 14 years i see myself as a massive national and international hip-hop superstar!


At first music was just something that young Folarin was passionate about but then over the years i've just magically evolved into this great lyricist. I think the fact that i've developed so much in the musical realm in a relatively short period of time just speaks a lot about what is to come in the near future, and for this reason i feel its worth my going 100% at it!




I've learned that for you to be successful, you 'ld definitely fail at first but what would make you who you wanna be is your ability to raise your head high and continue going for it even after you've failed. Wise words right there my brother, wise words!



To stay in school and not be a useless drop out just because i realised a great talent in me. I did consider it trust me

As stated earlier, Im still a student at the moment so that is what i do from 9-5!



dont think i have any message for my lecturers. lol

Some people may have noticed but i wish other people would just see that im a very special kid and even music-wise, that what i bring to the table is far from cliche!


  1. That i have a pair of pink boxers. lol
  2. That i could be quite a shy guy
  3. That i eat quite a lot
  4. and That Iv never been in love.



  1. Play soccer/football,
  2. Play Table tennis,
  3. Play on my xbox 360,
  4. Eat,
  5. Just hang with friends really,
  6. and party!



  1. Food
  2. Football (playing and watching)
  3. Music


Go to the toilet to ease myself, im sure we all do that.



A good friday entails waking up in the morning to a nice rich breakfast, No lectures at all throughout the day, Chinese for lunch, Playing some sweet football in the evening and then rounding up the day with a night-out with my guys!

c'est fini



*Laughs* 3 extremely different people. I 'll go for D'banj! yess!



Bread with butter...and some chicken.




Ah i enjoyed it oh


Kitchen with the right cook.



BIG SHOUT OUT to the supporters/ fans/ well wishers and just everybody that's been a part of the movement! SHAKARA: THE MIXTAPE Shall be allll over the internet this December (2009)..
