@poster
if i understand you correctly: anyone who has left a country isnt good enough to praise that country anymore?
i guess in your world Wyclef should shut up about Haiti as he is not worthy enough to represent that country.

dont be mad at the guys from "escaping the hustle" and having a better life than yours. they are helping you by putting awareness out there about the plight of Africa and africans like yourself who stayed back.

javalove:

o think seun should start charging like 100 naira to start threads. . .cos dis guy wont pay a 100 quid to start dis meaningless thread

sinistyle:

Its not just about singing a song, its about walking the walk. What have these 'Proud Africans' done to help the African community. Wyclef is from Haiti and his impact in the American and world music scene will amke the Haitians proud. He has built schools, hospitals and what nots' for the people of Haiti. He is a demi God in Haiti. He is proud of the black race. He comes to Nigeria like every other day to try to expose our artistes to the world. Same thing goes for Akon who is from Senegal. Our JJc and 4 19 brothers as the name implies are 419. They dont care about Africa. They dont give a bleep if a 7.0 magnitude eatrhquake devastates Africa. They have one song that says , "Nigeria is the best land". Why arent they staying in the best land? They only sing about Africa when they want to revive their career that never blossomed. If they care about Africa, what have they done to give back to the society? Idont blame them for travelling out to seek greener pastures but dont act or sing like you care about Africa when you dont.

I agree 100% with sinistyle. After all, words dont express your love you have to prove it.

@ sinistyle I like the name Sinistyle, it sounds like the name of a rock band. I know you like rock, i read your thread on rock music. I salute your audacity for creating a thread of this nature cause these vituperations, i cannot stand. I think what you are trying to say is that Africa is a hard place to live in. People are suffering and entrenched in all sorts of challenges and for some people that are immune to all these to come out and start singing and praising Africa is quite annoying. The first time I heard the song, in my mind I said "What do you care?" It is easy for them to sing because they dont go through the hustles, hassles and struggles I and the likes of Sinistyle go through on a daily basis. Besides, if we all keep "fleeing the shores"then we are doing ourselves no good because no one will come from out of space to build our nation or continent as it were. When the likes og 2 face or mode 9 sing about Africa, you cant help but be inspired because they have gone through these struggles and emerged victorious. I dont blame Sinistyle for seeing the song as an act of hypocrisy and taking it with a pinch of salt. I feel your pain. brov.

If people say we are siamese twins connected by the brain, they wont be wrong. Omo wa last! Thats the STREET way of saying, "you shall live long". Thank God there are some people who still have heads. I wonder how the bulk of the people on this thread could be so presbyopic, shallow thinking, fickle minded, credulous and vituperative. I think an IQ and a critical reasoning test should be part of thr registration procedures.
