Yes, because her song has no Africanness. If they don't understand shit about Africa, then they should delist that category from their award.

Na till she dey dance Atilogwu dance and recite incantation na him be Africanness abi. You better evolve as times and Africa is also evolving

KingTom:
Love me Jeje, sampled off the 1997 Seyi Sodimu and Shaffy Bello classic of the same name, has no Africanness?

People just be saying anything. Well deserved Grammy. I'm thrilled for her. She's someone that has faced a lot of heat for being herself, some even said she can't sing

It just hit me that I have to start rooting against Luka now till LeBron leaves

greypencils:
There is no explanation for this trade o. Cos I swear, the Mavs are one piece from getting a title. All they needed to add to the team was a backup guard who can play defense, someone like GPII and they are good for years. Not this!

He's a Laker plant is the only logical explanation. But I heard he was a Nike employee that fumbled Steph Curry and let him go to Under Armour

Either way he's going to either be vindicated or banned from all NBA facilities for the rest of his life.

And then hearing his press conference didn't help matters

Hohenheim:
The worst thing about this trade is people totally ignoring AD or acting like he's not All NBA. I don't think you can get multiple 1st plus a top 75 player in any trade.

Lol. A plus top 75 6 years older. Don't gloss over that.

Realistically how many years do you project AD to have compared with Luka. You also factor that not whether he's All NBA

birdman:
How did he do in said finals? anyhow, we will find out by end of this season one way or the other

Did we watch same Finals? You mean the series Kyrie was seeing ghosts in Boston?

Luka was not the problem Kyrie was.

Harrison is probably betting on a future Lakers job. That's the only sense I can make of this transaction. Otherwise he's set black GMs back another 25 years.

Think about it, the only thing that can make this trade a success is if the Mavericks won a championship. That's it. Otherwise it's a huge embarrassing failure

You basically traded the franchise player for a decade for AD and a first rounder? That's malfeasance

Amigoss:
How can dey make a diss song about you and dem use am win 3 Grammy off it,Generational L...

And one Egbon for here say the song no tap oo

Make we see who our rapper lawyer wan sue this time

Next week na Superbowl. Kendrick will perform the song at halftime unless Drake go bomb the stadium na him remain

Anambra men suffer because of people like kene 💔.

Allow Simps and tricks to carry their cross. Pussy whipped men have started wars so this should not surprise you

birdman:
I actually dont like Luka, for the fact that he will always underperform. I think Mavs could have gotten more, but Luka is mostly hype imo. If you wont discipline yourself to play, all that talent is a waste of time.

Are we watching the same sport??

Luka underperformed? When?

birdman:
Mark Cuban is smart. This feels like a sell high move.

Sell high with just 1 first rounder is crazy.

Nico Harrison is betting on his credibility as a basketball administrator for the rest of his career

Anything short of a championship and he ought to be barred from all basketball facilities in North America.

If you owned a team would you accept 1 first rounder for a 25-26 year old perennial All NBA first teamer who just got the Finals?

SmooshCHN:
When I said we should have kept Poole, trade Draymond and Klay someone said I was crazy. Trade deadline is approaching and neither Steph or the front office has thought of making any move. This team is done for real.

Steph is too meek for the Front office to apply any real pressure. He should just enjoy his last few seasons. He's showing some decline already.

Part of what has helped extend LeBronze viability and contention in the game is that he's always progressively been handed younger running mates.

First it was Wade and Bosh his age range

Then younger guys like Love and Kyrie, then AD now Luka

Yet the Warriors front office were not astute enough to recognize Draymond is washed and had no business starting on a viable contender with younger and hungrier teams all over the league. That 2022 title was the last kick of a dying horse, perfect time to cut bait from Dray and Klay.

Shame that Steph is going to spend the rest of his shrinking prime on play in teams at best

Roland17:
@A40

Did you see the Adesanya beat down? That was embarrassingly poor from Adesanya. I mean, he looked like an amateur out there with those tap kicks that ultimately killed him. He was careless with a lot particularly his blocks.

Adesanya has lost that dog and killer instinct. It was sad to watch.

I don't know if finally beating Pereira was the end goal for him and he tuned out after that.

The beating from Strickland is what's looking like has affected him. That 25 minute beat down. I know I couldn't be a coach cos if you're not showing me something the first 3 rounds by the middle of the 4th I will pull you out of the fight.

That beating shortens lives and careers. A knockout is far far better. Same thing with JDS and Cain. The worst thing that can happen as a fighter is to suffer a 25 minute beating. You're never quite the same

His reflexes are shot. I think that speed and elusiveness he's lost it. Cos prime Izzy would not even have been there for Imavov to hit. Imavov is a decent fighter with all due respect but Izzy pre-Strickland would just wipe the floor with him

AirBere:
I know say nah DEI hire. I know he's mediocre but whatever happens, win the league; firstly for Kane, he's tried for football and also for Kompany. Kompany is my own personal agenda as I really want to see what will happen to football and also what will really happen in this thread after Kompany wins the league. Please hang in there and claim it. Thanks 🙏 🙏 🥺 🥺

The league is forgone conclusion. I don't judge no Bayern manager by what you do in the league. I judge by Europe and thus far m not impressed.

greypencils:
Can Klay be trusted? That's the question. This trade makes no sense to me at all. They already better. They made the finals with their current squad. All they needed was a back up guard who could play defense. Then in the heat of the moment, you remove either Kyrie or Luka.

The bigger question is how do you accept 1 first round pick for prime Luka freaking Doncic.

He would or should be barred from all NBA team arenas and facilities if the Mavs don't win a title. That is literally the only way you can justify this trade

Roland17:
The puzzling part for me is what the Mavs are getting in return and not the trade itself. Something had to give. He may not be Embiid but he has had recurring injuries and issues with his weight and conditioning.

The fact that the Mavs shopped him, were willing to let him go for almost nothing tells me they were done with him. I mean how do you explain that M. Bridges hauled 1st round picks and Luka was worth just 1?

Make dem investigate that Mavs GM.

He must either be the world's biggest dumbass or he sold the Lakers a bill of goods

Quitting on a soon to be 26 year old seems bizarre. Unless they're on to something sinister and know something about Luka long term that we don't

On the flipside AD has been bitchin for a hot minute about playing at the #4. Now he joins a team with 2 legit centers. I'm interested to see how that pans out

So Mavs will look like

Kyrie
Klay
PJ
AD
Gafford

Looks pretty formidable if everyone is healthy

Roland17:
I am hearing the Mavs were the ones that even offered him to the Lakers. Luka’s poor conditioning, something I have been harping about for a long while now has come to bite him because it was central to why the Mavs moved on from him. With another Supermax in the horizon, the Mavs were not going to make the same mistake the Sixers made with Embiid.

Haba Luka is not even remotely close to Embiid. Younger and has taken them further.

This is a puzzling trade. Especially when you are getting glass man AD who is turning 32.

This is like the lottery company calling and asking if you want to win the lottery.

Unbelievable stuff from the Mavs. All they got was AD and a first rounder

raumdeuter:
Kompany na mediocre. He almost tied Holsten Kiel at home. The harakiri high line is making the defence look so bad

I was hoping Palhinha will make things better

Na DEI hiring. Person wey play as Central defender. The one place wey I believe say we go solid.

The personnel is mediocre already then you use your rubbish tactics to compound the issue.

Anyway let's just hope we get past Celtic.

Nothing about Palhinha jumps out to me. Another average Joe we overpaid for. Let's see if he proves me wrong

Luka to the Lakers. Omo wetin dey occur

Melvyn11:
I nor know wetin una dey see for the Justin Bieber picture o. The guy looks normal to me. Na just the short hair and beards plus wearing big shirt and jeans.

They're used to his puberty and prepubescent face. Maybe them think say e go be small pikin forever

That's a 30 year old man. He looks like a 30 year old man looks. People just feel like flapping their thumbs and flapping their gums

I doubt you would board a plane if you knew the ATC and the pilot got their jobs because they ticked the right boxes.
You don't want the experienced staffers morale to go down in such a crucial sector by bringing in people who never underwent what they went through to qualify.

Another plane crash.

Like that rapper wey dey complain say Lyft no carry am file lawsuit. Someone needs to create a new startup and call it ForkLyft to carry land whales like that

This Goonie goo goo was still on the internet talking junk. That's the issue with this woke culture that has normalized nonsense. Someone wey dem suppose shame enter gym

Roland17:
Watch these ones lose this game!

Jayson Tomtom said No

I don even forget say this year CL Finals go hold for Allianz

Saw the playoff draws and we narrowly escaped Madrid and got Celtics instead. Embarrassing that we are even at this point. The team wey wipe us 3 Lille wipe them 6

Mathys Tel has asked to leave. Who curse us with mid coaches like this. From Tucheliban to Kompany. These jokers can't even groom and develop talent. What do we do if anything happens to Kane. It's really infuriating

This Nuggets defense is abysmal. Make Yabusele dey use you score career high

On the plus side looks like Jamal Murray is getting his groove back

Roland17:
I have always maintained that I don't need religion to decipher between good and evil.

Also, if na based on the kain righteousness when dem dey preach about, I no sure say naija go get up to 50 representatives for heaven.

Religion overall is good where rightly applied. It's like Ibuprofen. 2 will cure a headache 8 will land somebody in the morgue potentially

Nigeria and a lot of these overly religious countries are proof of that. Seeing people that are always willing to fight and battle for a God that's supposed to be all powerful and immortal is just illogic to me. Like if God wanted us all to be Christians or Muslims so many religions wouldn't exist. So if God didn't make it that way what makes you think you're greater than him

DeadPresidents:
Has anyone here had to learn a new language as an adult? Please share your experience.

I just passed TELC B1 Deutsch (German Intermediate level proficiency exam) and I swear that’s the most difficult exam I’ve written in a while. Even more difficult than Tech certification exams like Linux and Cisco.

Makes me realise how difficult picking up a new language.

I know say Raumdeuter, Afrodoc2 and A40 go dey habla Español like say tomorrow nor dey

Omo. I don try and fail with German and Spanish. You don give me small inspiration like this to knuckle down. I made some progress with German but stalled a bit

Congratulations. That's no small feat. Picking up a new language as an adult is incredibly difficult. You think you have a grasp on it till you are speaking with a native and you don't hear half the things they are saying

What were your learning tools with Deutsch?

iamoyindamola:
Exactly
I use to tell people if I was raised in ifa worshipping house I won't have any business with other religions
I also believe in live and let others live, you can't be forcing or judge people in there choices

It's really as simple as that. Once you start being militant about your religion is where you will always lose me. The negative PR people get when they say they don't want to be Christians and even worse when they say they don't want to be Muslims anymore is always baffling to me cos Las Las na only God know those wey go eventually make am

iamoyindamola:
Lol
Religion was extracted from culture
Culture is the way of live, your belief is also part of your culture
So why will you want to carry a sub of culture ahead of culture

Abi. What if you now change religion?

Even the religion Nigerians carry for head is by product of where they were born. If they were born in Japan they will be Shinto, in China they will be in one Shaolin temple.

I'm one that believes in a higher power at the very minimum but the way Nigerians go about this religion business that is imported is very annoying

I saw the above image on fb
Imagine the audacity of a Nigerian girl.

When I dropped a comment, one of the slay queens attacked me saying "if you can't afford to take CARE of someone, just stay off relationships for now"

I then asked her a very simple question, she couldn't answer

The question : Okay, right now I can't afford relationships what then happens when I hit enough money in hundreds of millions, enough to take care of 6 or 7 girls, hope your gender won't come on social media crying that men are polygamous and are scum?
Since your gender have turned themselves into commodities,

Reason why I don't blame Davido or 2face.
This gender wouldn't rate you at all if you were a pauper
So gather as many as you can afford

The problem is a lot of men have no standards. You scrape from the bottom of the barrel and you're surprised when you get bottom of barrel results

I actually have more respect for the babes that stand on the turf than these ones that try to blend in with civilians

Somebody like this I go ask am how much to enjoy her one time. God forbid make you dey try form relationship with person wey get street walker mindset
