No be that period fela sing "suffering and smiling"?

I agree with you, Nigerian have never been happy. Nigerian have always been poor even before independence.

Nigerian have never had good power supply, ever.

The president that wld be able to break this jinx of electricity supply, wld forever be remembered.

Lol. They always like to begin their lives from 2023.

Bro respect should also be given to Sade Adu. That's another legend. Her is not just the good music she sings, but how the background instrumentalists formed bandits and entertaining themselves. Sade will be entertaining you at the same time with the background instrument from the bandit instrumentalists.

I know what you're talking about and in that regard we won't close the convo. Many people don play fine music for Yorubaland make we no even go diaspora.

I love how you understand the importance of instruments in music. I'm a music person myself and it always begin with the instrumentation for me.

ChiefOloye:
Leave him, perhaps he was born in the 2000s, he grew up to see satalite TV, GSM phone and social media platforms. He should go back home and ask his dad how life was in the 80s and 90s.. my late Dad retired in the Federal Civil Service, while my mum was a teacher (they were both graduates, my dad, an alumni of OAU, he graduated it was still called the University of Ife, while mum graduate UNAD, it was called OSUA).
We didn't have life on a rose, we struggled through my early days, partly in Lagos and Abuja. Nigeria, for me has never been a good country. It becomes good, when you have access to steal from the Government or dupe other people.

Una even enjoy sef. Bros wetin I see growing up, I go cry if I try explain. People like to act like Nigeria begin in 2023. Purposely albeit

helinues:
It was Sunny Ade's instrumental that blew the mind of the foreigners. The live performance, God, you don't even need to understand what he's singing, just follow up with the background instruments and you are okay.

Youngblood by 5 seconds of summer, gosh apart from knowing the lyrics, I can play the background instruments with the singing

Good music is not by noise

Ariwo ko ni music egbon mi. Our people have gone a long way in life. People of SW have achieved what many countries haven't. Grammies, Nobel Prize and what have you.

helinues:
Fela and Sunny Ade actually used to rock the pencil trousers.

For Sunny Ade to be the favourite artist of Tucker Carlson, then he went global during his prime time

Sunny Ade was at per with Bob Marley. You know Fela music can get very long and boring.

Helinuss:
It is an insult comparing tinubu with awolowo

Awolowo is age ahead and not corrupt like tinubu. Awolowo built the best inrastructures still standing till date in yoruba land. Argue this with me

You'll still come and say he drank poison.
You don't have the capacity to understand what I'm saying.

You are an Igbo man, You don't like either of them.

Back in the 70s when afro was the hair-do, The gods were happy and Nigerians were happy.

Who told you Nigerians were ever happy?

Better pray our children don't find our days better than theirs.

helinues:
Atiku would likely be a womanizer when he was young

See his pencil Fela's trouser

From the interview quoted in the article, you have to blend in to fit in.

Fela fashion on Sunny Ade music in Lagos.

E don tey Oloun.

Last last Atiku will still need to appeal to the Yoruba that's why you don't see his supporters yabbing about tribes. He knows he needs everybody.

One notable thing is whenever he wants to appeal his Yoruba audience, his Yoruba wife Titilayo is always in the mix.

yarimo:
Makinde and bala Muhammed are already on their way out of PDP, who will now accompany turaki to reclaim PDP national secretariat? Turaki a whole SAN someone who know the law allow himself to be mislead by I pass my neighbor generator engineer Mr makinde

Politics opened my mind to many things and one of the things I learned is. Only people whom position themselves gets something out of this life. You'll wonder why Akinwunmi or Ngozi can't lead a nation. Simply put they'll need to be a politician first. If you leave Akinwunmi one on one with Emeka Ihedioha or Monday Okpebolo he'll probably come second or third. Because he's not a politician.

Many of our politicians are not smart, the smart ones comes seasonally. People like Awolowo and Tinubu are hardly seen in politics. I'm not saying this because I'm Yoruba but till today I have not seen any Nigeria politician with the kind of brain God gave Awolowo and Tinubu. Those guys are special breed.

Ballmer:
Where ever he came from so long he win the APC guber ticket he will be the next governor. Even if he is from the pits of hell.

But you see that GRV even if he is from heaven n sitting on the right hand of God almighty he will never become a common councillor in Lagos.

Beta you take him to Abia or Anambra n make him governor.

Bros abeg dey calm down small small. E get why.

helinues:
Those who are bitter like you in the past didn't achieve anything with it

They only wasted their time

The way some of you carry politics matter for head, how i wish you could channel the same energy on how to better your life, walahi you won't have time for the government

People like LagosOrigin AKA PrinceOfLagos and Frigga AKA odin

Tinubu, Tinubu, Tinubu.

Tinubu is now Omnipotent and Omnipresent.

What about the people that has been in ADC for long?

Obi people will say it's Tinubu

ChizzyBuna:
Friday of all days to Hustle
Make I close my shop do Sit at Home because one old wicked evil man wan visit my state. All of Una dey craze.

Werey fit go stop for Airport
Then fly back to Abuja 😂😂😂

Make I come lose customers because of one old werey still come buy fuel @1300 per litre

People close shops on Mondays where you are from. They don't even go to farms or walk on the streets and that's every Monday since forever. Weekend starts on Fridays.

TokoEkambi:
Wait! I thought that's what you lot were clamoring for? The better Nigeria ruled by a young person that has never been part of the rotten system? Or, it's only worth it to you if the person comes from the SE? But wE nO dEy PlAy TrIbAl PoLiTiCs.

It's only make sense if the person is 65 years old youth PO

Dpharisee:
Wetin concern you, face your own life and stop stalking others

You said in 2020 that you wanted a strong person that could make strong decisions. I guess you thought that could only come from your tribe.

Wizardslayer:
You're not a wise fellow at all.

Instead of changing it for them now collectively while not help in demanding that they go their separate way.

They should have their own independent country, or are you afraid of staying alone? UNITY BEGGERS EVERYWHERE.

The wise one. Can you tell me and the general public what's stopping or holding you back?

I can bet my life you are not presently in the SE region but in other parts of Nigeria enjoying one Nigeria.

What stops your legislators, governors and monarchs (if you have any) and what have you from leaving Nigeria? Why is Obi contesting to be president?

If you all want to leave so bad, why's there so much peace in the whole region the moment Nnamdi Kanu was jailed for life?

This guy doesn't know what he's saying Obi was the youth presidential candidate in last election and he was over 60.

zoedew:
Chinua Achebe a prominent Igbo and a global literary icon had this to say about The Igbo, his kith and kin -"There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behaviour that can offend; by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness."

I say e go reach everybody. Outsiders don't know Chinua Achebe or Igbos. They only know us as Nigerians. So when those nonsensical behaviour gets out of the roof, na all of us go bear the brunt.

Either we start changing it for them now collectively or we allowed them battered the image of the country so much that our passport won't be able to visit Benin without presidential help.

For how many times will they abolish the nnonsens.

You people will still abolish it again in few days after another Eze Ndigbo of Gambia spring up.

E never reach everybody. You guys should still wait. When small small African countries start blacklisting Nigeria citizen from entering their country that's when you'll know.

No. SE is the most developed region in Nigeria and if you guys know what Alex Otti is doing in Abia. The fire was designed to light up the Abia city. You people don't know or see what Otti is doing in Abia that's why you can talk like this.

SmartPolician:
Setting up an agency is no rocket science. As for any sensible ventures that generate money for Lagos, the vast majority of them are driven by the private sector.

How Lagos works is that companies sell ideas to the government. If government officials buy the idea, it becomes a PPP arrangement. I bet you didn't know this.
I have seen hundreds of companies do that. That's the privilege Lagos enjoys as a former capital city with most Nigerian firms headquartered there.

So, Tinubu did practically nothing in Lagos than looting state revenue.

PS: I won't reply to your messages again.

How many of such companies are in Anambra? What was Obi influence in Anambra? Mention 1 legacy he has in Anambra and don't talk about brewery. If you have something to say why would you prefer to be silent? Defend Obi and don't run awaym

samuelson06:
It will never be well with you. You'll remain unfortunate forever. How dare you compare the president with a former state governor?

It will never be well with you and your generation. You'll never hear good news. Defend Obi or carry curse... Your life no go balance. If e balance right now e go dabaru before night.

SmartPolician:
Lagos is just privileged as the longest capital of Nigeria. See how Abuja has been transformed in a couple of years.

What's happening in Lagos has nothing to do with Tinubu whose only achievement was leaving a master plan for his successors.

Even if a goat is the governor of Lagos, it will still be growing because the private sector drives the growth in Lagos.

Yes. Trains were dropping from the sky, BRT buses and their dedicated lanes all dropped from the sky. The LAMATA, LAWMA, RRS were all established by federal government, eko Atlantic was built by federal government with Lekki free trade zone also built by FG. De play my fans.

Osiris12:
we saw as bwala defended tinubu government on international media stage

Context matters

Bwala was asked questions about things he has said in the past. He shares inconsistency with Obi. I love how he was sent to international stage to clean up and eat his own vomits. It'll be good for people like you to watch what you say going forward.

Eagleways:
boychild, he created an enabling environment and that should be one major avenue to make people wealthy. That is just what we are asking from this your APC heroes. No government goes about sharing money to make people wealthy.


All these direct sharing of rice and money have really mess up the brain and reasoning pattern of many like you

Which enabling environment? Apart of the brewery he invested state money how many FDI did he bring to Anambra?

SmartPolician:
While Escobar was busy looting Lagos revenue for over 25 years, the brewery that Peter Obi used foresight to invest in as governor has grown so big to become the biggest state taxpayer in Anambra State after the banks. That's just one example.

Foresight to invest in brewery while Tinubu was using foresight to build Eko Atlantic, Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lagos Rail, BRT, RRS, LAWMA, LAMATA and what have you?

You talk about a brewery like it's even the only one in the state? Do you know how many breweries there are in Nigeria? Person never process cassava for garri e dey produced beer?

No wonder Anambra people were fighting over left over at Cubana's mother Burial.

I love how you keep getting the type of leaders you deserve. I pray ADC can emerge president in the SE so the underwhelming wholefulness of their calamity will be confined in 1 region.

Make Atiku first sell that generation company wey Otti take de cover him administration first make we see something.
