I am telling you

Hi, fellow NairaLanders.
I seriously need help from you guys.
I noticed that any month in which we have seriously bad electric supply, the PHCL/NEPA staff brings bills that’s not like the usual type. It looks like photocopy from the suppose original one. They probably make this photocopies and distribute (without the consent of the management). They say “the printing machine is faulty”. This happens whenever we had a month of very bad power supply, like last December.
Pls. what do I do. I believe something illegal is on.

Many happy years ahead to Helen Folasade Adu, CBE.
Born on 16 January, 1959 in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria to a
white English district nurse mother and an Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State
lecturer of economics father. Sade’s father was the first graduate
of statistics in Nigeria].


"You are one of the BEST and most DELECTABLE women
on earth Sade. Thanks for your soulful music!"


"I remember seeing Sade Adu on NTA in December 1985 on her arrival at the
Lagos International Airport from England when she came to Nigeria/Ikere-Ekiti
which was then in Ondo State, for her father's burial in the same year that
she was nominated for a Grammy. She finally won the Grammy on February 25, 1986,
at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. It was awesome getting to see the
Britain-Nigerian music diva live on TV... our gift to the world!"

The four-time Grammy award winner, singer and song-writer Sade Adu,
is pictured below being carried by her father, Professor Adebisi Adu in
1959. With them are Anne, Sade’s mum, Anne Hayes, and older brother, Banji.



P.S. I wonder when Sade and SEAL will come to perform
in Nigeria. Is it until Sade starts using walking stick
before MTN, GLO, AIRTEL or other big companies will
bring her down to perform?

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode can bring both of them
to Nigeria to perform as part of his tourism drive for
Lagos State before it is too late. SEAL is even an
indigene of Isale Eko, Brazilian Quarters, in Lagos State.

So Sade Adu is already 59...

How time flies

Indomine children won't know her.cant 4get her hint songs like by ur side,sweetest taboo,king of sorrow,and most recently soldier of luv and babyfather.she and Toni Braxton ar my favourite of al time

Easily one of Nigeria's finest exports. Her talents would have been wasted here.

She giving the sweetest taboo and thats why I am in love with you

If I tell you how I feel....will you keep on loving me? (sweetest taboo) Dope song. Never new she's a Nigerian.

black don't crack. she's very beautiful at her age even without make up. this lady is far older than my mum and my mum used to talk about her like she is younger than her

I too have thought about Seal and Sade. We need to bring them to Nigeria for a concert. I've never watched any of their interviews where both of them won't mention Nigeria. Sade celebrity lifestyle worth emulating. See how Sade introduced her band.

@Saajus

You have been reading my mind... Sade has never denied her
links to Nigeria.

Sade infact gave a condition in 2002 when she was interviewed
by a Nigerian tabloid that she would love to perform in Nigeria
but she wanted assurance about power supply. Things have probably
improved a bit from 2002 with portable renewable sources of energy.


In 2002, Sade appeared on the Red Hot Organisation's Red Hot + Riot, a
compilation CD recorded in tribute to the music of fellow Nigerian musician, Fela Kuti.
She recorded a remix of her single "By Your Side" for the album and was billed
as a co-producer. In that same year, she received an Order of the British Empire (OBE)
from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace for services to music, an award which
she dedicated to all black women in England.

I think Lagos State can pull this off because Lagos has the money.
I thought Lagos at 50 in 2017 would have been the perfect time to
bring Sade Adu, and SEAL, an Eko boy who was born in London.
The concerts involving Sade and Seal would be sold out! Sade
will be 60 in 2019, she can even be brought before then.

Governor Ambode is very passionate about art and culture
and Steve Ayorinde has been named the new Lagos State
Commissioner For Tourism, Arts and Culture in a major cabinet
reshuffle by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode about 6 days ago
and Steve is a moving legend in the field of information,
arts and culture.

IndecentStar:
She don get old.

AT 59 WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING FROM HER? SINCE OLD AGE IS A CRIME IN YOUR VILLA MAY YOU NOT GROW OLD. BEFORE YOU REACH 59! SAY AMEN

Sade was in a class of her own for a very long time.

She had this magical touch just like MJ.
Much respects, Ma.
