Armaggedon:
Yorubas are good in music and Yorubas are best in music are two afferent statements. I'll wait until he makes the second statement which obviously he is afraid of making.

Phyno flavour and a lot of Rapper use more Igbo than English and are quite popular outside Nigeria.

Not to mention that Gospel music uses more Igbo and has even grown to be more influential outside Nigeria than secular one


Individual artistes and not tribe can be rated to be the best in a particular genre of music in a particular year.

You see people like reno or ffk? following this people on your own peril,do you know in the whole Africa people know nigerian kings as igwe?if you tell me any music in nigeria that they don't add igbo or yoruba then I will tell you that music is not making waves,ayinde marshal music stop only in yoruba land ,even in the 80s reno was talking about onyeka onwenu was there nelly uchendu was there ,oby onyioha was there,reno needs traffic on twitter today


There are musicians in all parts of Nigeria but Nigerian music that receive International attention most are those that were sang in Yoruba language, even non-Yoruba musicians sometimes sing in Yoruba or collaborate with Yoruba musicians for wider acceptability e.g Tuface, P-Square, Sunny Okosun, Phyno etc

Okay, a quick one

Gnosticism was infact a regional cult group that early Christians
pioneers dreaded with caution.....you could read the book of John(not the gospel one)the apostle was deeply concerned with the ever so growing spread of their teachings...and here is a reason


Gnostics were now a growing cult of mysticism which adapted christian ideas and built on it appeasing theological aspects..
Their teachings were so attractive even though they only twisted Christianity to favour their cause...they had several contrasting beliefs like....

Denied Christ was God, saying the human body was intrinsically evil and God could not take form in it

Others said Christ was merely a phantom, a temporary appearance of God who looked human.

Others believe the soul was basically pure and couldn't be affected by mere human sins...this lead to cataclysmic hedonism from this group

Matter of fact Gnostics had different opinions on Christianity and from the stated above they were quite the confused pair..

You mentioned Paul as a controversial Christian apostle..
This basically is wrong as even Peter acknowledged the teachings of Paul in his own book(read the book of Peter)

Lastly you said gnostics were completely extinguished
But from your write up this only proves you are one of them wink

Indeed, you just said what the "original Christians" believed. The twisted version is actually the one you read today in your bible. That's the exact reason Bananas severed ties with Paul on their missionary journey. But your bible schools or church would never tell you that. He rejected Paul's teachings because he was one of the pioneer gnostics.

To buy property in Aba now no be beans talk wetin you know.

All those traders are practically money bags...You will be haggling till someone adds 5 or 10 mil to the owner to upstage you.

You see Onitsha and Aba, acquiring real estate in these two places is not for penny pinchers.

Stop deceiving yourself.

Mugu, go to Azikiwe road now and see construction going on. Poverty has made you not to know that someone can buy land with house and bring it down and build what he want.
Abeg shift. Cost of rent is not what determines how much people make! By the way, cost of rent in Azikiwe is not cheap either because is a commercial area. You are just an ignoramus.

Please go and price 4 storey building 35 million at any site in Aba and see if you will not come back with a broken head

So you were lying that an empty land in Azikwe road was 70m!? Bhuahahaha grin

When you know it’s for a 4 story building!? grin

I can't remember putting empty land in my . statement! You argue like a confused person, the basis of our argument was whether civil service work paid more than business.
So whether is empty plot or not, it was bought with money and your highest paid judge can't afford it with legitimate income.

A judge enjoys more benefits than a CD seller or those petty sellers you claimed to have more money.

Maybe because your judges in Abia State don’t receive salary doesn’t mean other responsible states don’t pay salaries.



NetValueFX:


50+20= 70million. It can't buy land in Azikiwe road. Those poor small small boys are buying it and building four storey which 70million can't complete on it.
you are definitely not into business so you nothing about money. People like you start dancing when you hear 20 million.
Even the seat of the president is not lucrative how much more that of a judge! Take away looting, and all politicians will be average in wealth!

Talk about power and connection, then you will be making sense, as more money, keep calm you nothing about that.

Lol ... Oga you be academic illiterate. Did you see empty in what you bolded? Guy seriously pray for deliverance from poverty in your life. I mean it. Who told it's only empty Land that is land?
If you know Aba very well like you claim, you should know someone bOught store at no1 pound road and brought it down.
Let me educate you a little. In the business of buying property, price is tied to the value of the land not the structure. This is because majority of people buying the land will destroy what is in it, they are not seeing any value with the structure there but rather the land on which the structure is built

Now it's common knowledge that Yoruba's ventured into nollywood before the igbos, but ever since the Igbo's have taken over and the rest is history...
There has been no much of a change in how it's been run then and in transition to now...
Yoruba's have good control of the media( so no surprises what you see online, that's how it has always been.insisted
Imagine I saw a blog listing the best
Nollywood producers and Genevieve Nnaji wasn't among! ( funny)
Nevertheless Igbo's have always dominated nollywood not coincidentally, but more precisely their ability to tell their own stories/write them so very well to attract a massive pack of viewers (Unarguably Igbo's have the best literature writers in Africa)
So there is no scare in Yorubas coming close to the Igbo's in this section until they learn how to write their own engrossing stories.(we all know the massive failure of media overhyped Chief daddy 2, niyi deployed a lot of Igbo actors to make most of a movie with a terrible storyline)
Just as Achebe said.
" Till lions learn to write their own stories, the tales of the hunt would always glorify the hunter."
In addition to very talented actors/actresses, this has even furthered their growth in this industry.
Yorubas control the media but even in certain aspects talent would surely stand out
Of the list of of engrossing movies, the biggest ever from Africa was Lionheart by Genevieve.
It was submitted for an Oscars!!!

Avoid this topic because there is no way you will win it

Better you stick with the thread's topic.
Lion Heart was a flop, just like Chief Daddy 2, you have said nothing all through your write up. Face the reality, you know the big players in Nollywood now. Thank you

Land inside Aba is between 6 - 10m. Totally different from price of 4 stories building.
