Sometimes I wonder how jerks end up with cute loyal girlfriends when a cool fine guy like me is single.

I scouted my area looking for a viable business to do that will fetch me money and i discovered there is no gas refill place around people have to go to a long distance to refill their gas. i don't know much about this gas refill business i made some contact and he told me he will be wiling to sell a filled 50kg gas cylinder to me at 40k. i want to know what this business is like, what i will be needing and how lucrative it is. Expert opinion is needed.

I doubt the so-called mad-man was mad. Maybe one hørñÿ indigene that couldn't get laid

Abi...
Everybody must not go to school na

No, everybody must not.

These cutoffs are hilarious. Too bad we have this mentality of "You won't make it if you don't go to school". Some of these students scoring 160, 170,180 would end up not using their certificate to work.

Education is not the only means of being successful. We should encourage diversification...sports, businesses. It shouldn't be just education

People are trekking from their various locations to God knows where meanwhile other set of people are drawing God knows what. You see what joblessness is causing

Wow...this App is really good. Mod, front page please

ruemu: Yeah.. my ipad does whatsapp n BBM

duhh, not necessarily phones....laptops, tablets, phablets etc

I remember when I sent my phone for repairs because it was still under warranty. The next 3 days was hell and damn slow. With time I got used to my Nokia torch. When I got it back I asked myself "How d hell did I stay without ma phone for 3 weeks?"

OBJ is really brilliant. His main purpose was to bring back letter writing and he has achieved it.

Dear Nigerian Artiste,

It is Christmas season again, that blessed season of giving, getting…and attending shows and concerts. I don’t need to wish you a merry one because I know that by now the state of your bank accounts has told you all you need to know about how merry or not it will be.

This seems to be a season of letters, yes I know, and even more intriguing of leaked ones. I assure you, this letter is different. If it ever gets leaked, know I had no hand in it. It could just be the handiwork of my detractors and political foes.

dbanj5 300x293 MUST READ: Open Letter To Dbanj, Wizkid, Inyanya And Other Nigerian Artistes

You are probably wondering who I am and the reason I have chosen to write you a letter rather than tweet at you or send you an email or a text. Wonder no further, you and I know you will never reply me. I am not a celeb. I digress.

So, how many concerts have you signed up for this period? Your account manager at the bank should by now be delirious and you already checking out rides at Coscharis. Bulletproof BMW 7 series maybe? That shouldn’t be an issue now, aren’t you all Princesses and Princes? No pun intended here.

I have a question by the way. How do you plan to make these concerts rock? Like make them totally unforgettable, make them headline grabbing and stuff? Have you been rehearsing with your band?

Say what? You don’t know what a band is?

So how do you plan to make it worth the while of fans who pay huge amounts for tickets and who take the risk of coming to crowded venues and willingly inhale a toxic mixture of second hand smoke, mouth and body odour? And probably get fondled by jagudas all in the name of jumping up and down to the sound coming from the loudspeakers?

Oh? You plan to get a DJ to play your CDs while you lip synch along? Come on! You have to agree that is unfair, unethical, unprofessional, mediocre, untenable, une….. ok let me stop.

It will do you a world of good if you read this letter carefully and take some of the advice and criticisms that will flow from it under advisement.

Your fans are getting smarter and more demanding by the day. A day will come when they will rather listen to the radio or sit in their cars or homes and just flip through CDs, than come to your concert. At least it is you performing (we hope), and of course cheaper, more convenient and less stressful, than struggling to get into VIP at Eko Hotel.

Laziness is the only reason I can think of that will make you, a professional artiste (I definitely can’t refer to you with the more particular title of Musician, you cannot convince me you are one yet) perform from CDs at a show. Your counterparts abroad take time out to have sessions with bands (whether theirs or rented) in preparation for concerts and tours. They don’t rely on DJs. At worst, DJs are a backup. This actually applies to Hip-Hop artistes too.



Instead of giving a show that will make you go down in history and be hailed a legend like TuBaba or be referred to as good concert material like Asha, Omawunmi, and Waje, you will rather stand inebriated in front of hundreds (maybe thousands) of fans and have the gumption to turn back at a likely equally stoned DJ, screaming at him or her “DJ track 7…no! no! that is track 6, I want track 7”. Not good at all. You should aim for better quality.

Imagine if in the middle of you rambling through a track we all have concluded you performed in the studio while recording, the DJ mistakenly pulls a cable and the only gadgets left working are the microphones and we (including your dazed self) find out that you weren’t uttering anything all evening? That you have instead been busy just throwing in the occasional “yaw! yaw! Put ye hands up!! Lagos are you happy??!!!!” Dude come on! How can Lagos be happy after you have been found out to be scamming them? Lesser things have led to concert riots in other places. This picture I painted recently happened to one of Nigeria’s top gospel artistes after collecting 500,000 naira as performance fees from an hapless church. Is what you collect really a performance fee or merely an appearance fee. We need to be clear on this point.

Let me park this letter here. I have had the chance of seeing quite a number of Nigerian concerts; either physically or on TV and I can safely say one more time that artistes of now are largely a lazy bunch. Your concerts merely feed on adrenalin that makes it look like the fans are getting value, not the quality and sheer artistry of your live performances. You all need to fix up.

I can count on my fingers the number of artistes who can actually pull off a concert with a live band. Many of you very likely don’t know the lyrics of your own hits and you many times in those concerts default to pointing the mic at us poor fans so that we can help you insert the forgotten words. Too poor! Fix up else you will have to rely solely on the number of CDs that Obaino and the rest of the Alaba gang can make us buy to make ends meet.

While I believe you will, after reading this missive, make changes and ultimately get more professional; accept the assurance of my highest regards.

Yours respectfully,
Henry Okelue
Member, Concerned CD Buyer of Nigeria

This is good but less talk and more action would be better

apacheguy: And u thnk dats a gud idea?...windows OS is frustrating, that's the bottom part of it, up til this moment there are stil issues with the OS, are u talkong about windows 7.5 where u dnt hv access to files directory, or where u cant even use momery card on ur device? Or windows 8 where u can't get call duration after the last call?...apps suck in d OS, hv u tried whatsapp on windows OS and try the same whatsapp on android phone? Wat abt games? Try games on android phones and try the same game windows u'l hv beta experience on android, stop the don feeling, the main thing i gv to windows ahead of android is user interface/display, its awesome, thats the fact and also its internet explorer, one of my many grudges on the OS is u hv no other options for browse aside i.e, i need to run lots of app on firefox or chrome which is impossible, my brother, pls stop that feeling of smartphone which u thnk is unique...

Uhm..... I wasn't talking about windows 7.5 mango, I was talking about windows 8 mobile. Yes windows 8 has it shortcomings...the call duration thing for instance, you won't say any os is perfect.
Mow coming to games, I won't say android doesn't have good games and apps because they do but for you to say that windows doesn't have apps and games, my brother you must be joking then. Have you seen 6guns, asphalt 7 heat on windows 8 phone? Windows has few apps and games but the ones the have are outstanding. Then Whatsapp?? Let me no just go there

Beemhan: wat is dis one sayin? windows 8 is for smart pple? biatch. puh-leeeaaase! i hv d dumbest gilrs in my class usin windows 8on PCs witout any hascle. just cuz ur singl digit i.q made it dificult for u to undstnd it doznt mean its for smart ppl. sayin its easy to undstnd android, i doubt if u'v used an android b4. besides, 218 ppi for a 10incher?! i'l pas abeg. rada get a tecno pad

please be more intelligible when next you post. And if you understood my comment you'll see that I wasn't referring to windows 8 for PCs. I was referring to windows 8 phones and tablets. If you haven't owned a windows 8 phone or tablet don't go ranting about what you don't know, okay

ITbomb:
I didn't know that making an OS hard to understand OS is really cool. It seems you dont really understand Apple selling point.
If you think android is really easy to understand then iOS must be a piece of toy for you but ironically that is why they are selling

wait you think that for a novice, an iPhone is easier to operate than an android phone?

lincolnj88:
You are on a long thing ....Andriod rules

I could say you are among those that would never understand a windows phone

mrphysics: laptop is unlike phone that u can change 3 times in a year or even more, so my brother, if u need a laptop for such work, add more money, make it 85k or more for future, nt when it starts carrying heavy load it will slow down, pls u need latest laptops, am in enugu and i deal wit new laptops and i will give u 750gg HD, 6GG Ram, 5.1 system rating, intel core i3 with high speed prosessor for 89999.0, u can contact me via 07063774377

how much can I get a hp pavilion m6 or dv6 - 8gb ram 750gn hdd?

I'm a proud windows user. You know one thing I like about the Lumia phones and windows OS? It's Just for smart people. It's not like an android you can pick up and understand in few minutes. Moreover those with Lumia phones can testify to the swagg the phone adds to them no matter how long they've been using it. That feeling you're holding a smartphone doesn't just fade after few months of usage.
This is an awesome device....y'all can testify that windows tables are just pretty and good looking... Right from surface 2, surface 2 pro and now this.
Kudos to Windows and Nokia Lumia!!!

IKEMBA NNEWI: [b] Sincerely speaking i'm not a fan of how we(Igbos) most times pull our own down, Rochas is dolling out just a meagre #30,000 to tradtional rulers and it's a big news. But neither of you said anything when P.Obi distributed 200 Suvs to traditional rulers in an election season. We all might despise Rochas for dumping 'Our' party to join the party of you know who, but that should not blind us into not commmending something good when we see one. Tell me, what initiative of Rochas have we ever applauded since he left Apga? Need i remind you sycophants that Rochas Remains the only Governor in the East that has properly immortalised Ojukwu? He was the 1st person to build and rename a cultural centre in his name and Heroe's square in Owerri is in Ojukwu's memory. What have other Governor's in the east done for our great Ikemba? P.obi renamed an already named street after him and named a university just few days to election in his name( we all know what for). I hate it when people pokenose unneccesarily. Imo people elected Rochas, they should be the ones to tackle him if they feel he's stepping out of bounds! The rest of you should just go and face your villages! O ginidi! Rochas this, Rochas that! Go and get a life @ OP![/b]

You've made a point, but are you in Imo? How could a governor who claims he loves his state, shut down all banks in the state during a festive period like this?
Do you know that if he opens all banks today, the rush will be so much from now till Friday and markets will be so filled up that not everyone will buy all what they need.
He's sharing #30000 to Ezes, can you give Sultan of Sokoto #50000 as Christmas gift?
I heard that the general hospital at Umuguma have been protesting because their 7 months salary have not been paid. This is a state hospital and he can't manage it properly yet he goes ahead to build more hospitals in various LGAs in the state forgetting that those LGAs have existing dilapidated hospitals.
May God help Imolites!

A President should never defend himself. It's like a CEO explaining himself to his staffs.
Jonathan doesn't have the charisma of a strong leader.

It's all good. But they should have let it reach 6 months, that's all.

Buoyantic: Seems the US media are not comfortable with Mariah Carey performing at a country they described as the “center of the world’s email financial crimes”.

How does singing a song for bankers put her bank account in jeopardy?
