The Togolese and Beninoise artisans are not only generally better-skilled...
But have a much better attitude and understand customer service more than their Naija counterparts.

If I hear “just manage am na” one more time from a dodgy Nigerian artisan, I might just snap!

You obviously missed this below previously posted. (Note that those US treasury notes are the safest of investments and the world can’t get enough of them)

You clearly don’t understand US debt.

Unlike Africa countries, US don’t go and borrow money, all US debts are paper You clearly don’t understand US debt.

Unlike Africa countries, US don’t go and borrow money, all US debts are paper debts.

US simply create treasury notes, then go to the market and sell the notes. Note holders get paid interest and when they are tired of holding the notes, they go into the same market and sell them to another individual and the price of the note at each varies depending on the strength of US economy and other external factors.

Africa countries borrow money with stringent requirements and conditions and also consequences if they don’t pay back as agreed..

Debt is debt...
It may come in several forms, but it still means the same thing - you OWE money.

Treasury bills are not just “paper”, they are PROMISSORY NOTES...
The not only pay interest, but they ultimately have to be redeemed!

PS: And just btw, if China elects to dump its treasuries...
Best be assured that there will be one heck of a market panic!

Well Nigerian artists care that’s why they flock the US to blow

Just as US artistes “care” when they flock abroad...

I hope they are undertaking the “clearing” in an environmentally sustainable manner...
So that they do not end up denuding soil cover and cause uncontrolled erosion and such other hazards.

martineverest:
u obviously don't know what back stage awards is in musical awards like Grammy.

backstage award venues are second tier venues where 'inconsequential' awards given as the main award hold simultaneously .the venues also are averagely filled and got great settings.

watch the mama burna speech again and see the crowd settings

Just admit you did not watch the show...

Unless you’re saying that the show’s hostess Regina Hall was actually at a “second-tier venue”?
Or that Cardi B (in her distinct lime green outfit) was sitting in the so-called “backstage award venue”? SMH

It’s not inferiority complex, America is the capital of entertainment in the world, that’s the truth, you are living in denial if you don’t accept this. The American music industry is worth billions of dollars and has produced billionaires. Go and check how many Spotify streams Wizkid has vs the average American then you can understand the DJs were not far from the truth

For the umpteenth time, who cares?
Even if you make just $1 out every African/African diaspora, you will still be a “billionaire” or in the neighborhood. SMH

Darevofpeace:
This might be true, but the whole debt would still be paid through direct/indirect tax by the whole Nigerian.
African Leader's from inception has No/low debt management skills.Very Soon, China would buy all the Africa's Countries National Assets if these warning are not adhered to.

First, the world’s single most indebted nation should not be lecturing anyone else on debt...

Nonetheless, taking Chinese loans to build rail lines, airports, power plants, seaports and such infrastructure should have the sort a multiplier effect that boosts productivity, increases our GDP, creates jobs and generates wealth and revenue to put us in a better position to repay same.

bid4rich:
That is the difference between the country that is thinking (China) and the one that is not thinking (Nigeria/Africa)

A borrower will always be a slave to the lender

China holds almost 30% of US sovereign debt...
By your analogy that makes the US China’s b*tch!

BLUEJAYY:
Well, if these countries can't pay back their loans, then the lenders would go ahead and take over their economies, ushering in the newest form of colonialism.

Maybe Africa is better being colonized, since her leaders are irredeemably corrupt and backward.

banty:
China don buy Africa finish, recolonization looms.

JubrinElSudan:
The worst is that African's major creditor is China. Some persons will say US/IMF/Paris club etc are angry Africans don't borrow from them, but atleast the western creditors had history of erasing some of the debts. But China? China will lend you, use her manpower to execute the projects(like CCECC is doing to us), and once you default, they take over

Temple1288:
Africans are just too daft to understand that the Chinese people who give out this loan are extremely difficult to handle..

The IRONY in these comments is that China is the BIGGEST lender to the US...
Holding almost 30% of US foreign debt, and US indebtedness to China is more than all African debt to China COMBINED!

globemoney:
So why are they all trying to blow in America? Why not them focus on the billion Africans lol. Those guys can break Wizkid in America if you don’t know, keep making noise

Again, who cares? Were they the ones who blew him up in the first place?
Some of you with your inferiority complex abegi. Wizzy is trying the US market for the same reasons US artistes come here - MONEY!

oneluv4life:
Why does she has to wake up 5 O' clock daily to get to work when the job is within her vicinity? May be the job offer is far away and the #45000 would not be enough to cater for her daily expenses of T.fare, food, airtime etc. Or something is missing along that line.

Doesn’t make any rational sense at all...
Sounds like a tall tale the dude pulled out his backside.

paxonel:
they did not argue that wizkid isn't recognized in Africa, they are simply saying wizkid is not known in America and that's the truth.

Why are you pained that wizkid isn't recognized in America?
Do you think Americans care about afro beat?

Again, who cares? 1.2 billion Africans - and more (4 times the US population) cares about Afrobeats...
Thankfully, not everyone shares your inferiority complex, which elevates ignorance because it’s in an Oyinbo accent. SMH

Nominating justices is the job of the NJC, not of the Supreme Court or its justices.

That he doesn’t seem to even grasp that Section 230 should direct him to the Supreme Court Act.

noooo.....u aren't getting it.think deeply about it. the award was given back stage.not the main venue. afrucan artistes are usually asked to perform back stage during BET awards.some years back several African singers, notably sarkodie, have asked their fellow artistes to boycott it for ill treatment

Bros, you obviously did not watch the show...
It was NOT given backstage, but right after the Lifetime Award to Mary J. Blige.

It was presented onstage by Ayesha Curry and Neyo...
And Mama Burna’s “African” quip got a resounding applause.

iRyan:
Truth be told, WizKid isn't widely known in the U.S. He's only popular among a few communities like Nigerian-Americans, Ghanaian-Americans and fairly known in the African-American community. Nobody's doubting his superstar status in AFRICA ,but if you go into the streets of New York, 1 in 10 Americans might claim to know who he is.

Again, who cares? There are more humans living OUTSIDE the US than within it...
>

iRyan:
Of course they are. However he doesn't get as much airplay in many other African countries as he gets in s select African countries. Africa is more than just Nigeria, GH or SA. There are many other non English speaking countrues on the continent that Wizzy hasn't conquered yet

Who told you that? Music is the ultimate universal language...
Wizkid is popular as far as Morocco, talk less of Francophone or Lusophone countries.

Doubtful there’s anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa where Wizkid is not popular...
Even Davido went to Suriname not long ago, and the Dutch-speaking Surinamese sang along.

OP, please change the name...
Isaac Promise has not played for Nigeria in over a decade.

Smartini:
Nigerian players are just too silly. They claim to be 20 years, yet 80% of them are married. How many real 20 year olds are married today? How many English/Spanish players are married at 20 years? Even if you wanna stage a professional lie about your football age, let it cut across both on pitch and off the pitch activities. We only lie about our football age but when it comes to marriage, na we dey marry pass.

Odemwingie used his true age and lasted more than a decade in top flight football, same with the likes of Mikel and Kanu (slightly disputable). Sadly, our so called 20 year olds have their careers ended before they turn "25"

I cannot vouch for anyone else’s age (and neither can YOU), but...

Isaac Success is listed as 23 years old (24 years old in about 6 months) and is getting engaged (not married)...
Frankly, no one who is successful and can to maintain a family should be running around single until he is tired and grey.

Frezhkid10:
...when??

He’s right...

Isaac Promise (U20 2005) is married with kids...
But Isaac Success (U20 2015) is the one here and he’s not married.
