Oct 30, 2017 7:55 AM Neymar paid a surprise visit to his old Barcelona team-mates at a training session on Sunday. The Brazil international turned up at a session at the Ciutat Esportiva as his old club began their preparations for their Champions League trip to Olympiacos. Barca even posted a picture of the 25-year-old on their official Twitter account, with the simple caption: “Neymar visits his ex-team-mates.” Neymar, who is locked in ongoing legal battles with his old club and the club’s refusal to pay him a loyalty bonus, was pictured chatting with Barca first-team players including Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi. The former Santos man was banned for PSG’s 3-0 Ligue 1 win over Nice on Friday but is expected to return for the midweek clash with Anderlecht. 180 dislike

These are music companies who regularly reshuffling their ever dynamic roster with upcoming musicians, to meet new demands. The search for a record contract can be a very frustrating one for upcoming artistes in Nigeria. But it could also be easy and stress free if you know where to look. They do not put out vacancy adverts but rather rely on independent/affiliated managers and representatives to submit new artistes to them for consideration. The reason why you don’t not hear about any opening is because you do not belong to any group within the music industry inner circle. But you can bypass that clique and send your music yourself, There is no rule against that. You don’t have an agent, manager or promoter so you have to do it well by yourself. Put your best songs, photos and videos on a good CD because no executive has time to download your song. Below are a list of...
