has all these changed the price of garri in market or has the price of cement reduced a bit?

The big question is; where has Mr. president been all these while. i believe he wouldn't have remember his territory reached far Maiduguri has a president if the newly APC governors didn't take the bold step first + the whole place is been flooded with 3000 soldiers so why should he be afraid.

for those of you abusing your parents because of all these dirty politicians including the president, i think it is a big shame on you guys because what i know is that respect is reciprocal. no matter who you are, be it the president of a country, if you don't earn respect, no one will give it to you except fools.

We all remember GEJ saying these words "i don't give a damn" in an interview sometimes last year. A lot of Nigerians must have digested those words but they are too complex for me to digest so am breaking them down to these ones for easy digestion.

WHEN LEADERS 'DON'T GIVE A DAMN'

Right before our eyes, gas freely flare
while they sit in glass houses making budgets for fuel
right under their noses bridges partly fell
while they allocate money for old private jets

they eat away time like lions feeding on flesh
claiming it is better being slow than to fall for fear
whereas the fret of a fall is being comfortable just standing there...
while the world moves swiftly with the speed of a launched rocket

our streets harbor crimes everyday of the year...
yet their beds grow succulent from the loot of our collective wealth.
their cheeks and bellies firmly keeps up a lofty swell...
pushing suits and 'Agbada' buttons to their very edge

is this what happens when leaders don't "bloody care"?
bloodshed everyday like the world is coming to an end?
build security in every corner of their own marbled fence?
and leave out masses to live here next to hell?

homicide, suicide, genocide reigns everywhere
malaria still kill most on this part of the earth
and toothpick breaks less often than an adult's leg
it is them that see it that can truly tell

rainfall should give daily bread but it takes it instead
sunshine should dry our crops but it saps our daily sweat
oil should make us rich but it make us poor instead
one now wonders if it is a curse to be richly blessed

no work for the arms full of strength
no thought for the brain full of ideas
yet they claim to be running well a government...
the type that tags their own few friends

THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS WHEN LEADERS DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

because NYSC is the last train!

i see the good governance tour as duplication of duty. the senate and it's members have the inspection of federal govt. projects around the country as one of their primary duties and it is left for them inform the executive arm and nigerians of the outcome of these projects and be as whip to contractors who wants to mismanage govt. fund. we do not need someone in the name of a minister to go around the country singing the president's praises... it sounds more like a campaign to me.
this once again shows great weakness of the presence government

intriguing! can't believe he had his own had times. use to think his wealth was from his family...

this guy must be on a lot of DRUGS to be able to amass all that energy in his shows

rafhell: americans and their sh!ts.

greateros: y is the wole family looking like they were brought up by same monkey

ba7man: The Money transfer has reflected in Clinton's bank account so he's smiling and waving.

YOU'RE A FOOL!

power in my area at airport road in Ibadan has gone from BAD to WORSE especially after the first rain of the year.

The well talked about concert ‘Love Like A Movie’ by Dare Art Alade turned out to be ‘Love Like A Drama’ when the American superstar invited spent about 20sec. on stage (why? Probably because she had nothing to say), was unable to sit for the show (why? Obviously, she knew her level is far higher than that of those sitting there) and stayed less than 24hours in the country (why? Maybe she concluded the country is in mess from what she’s been hearing from the press) for whopping amount of half a million dollars (about #75,000,000 if my calculations are correct).

The first question that popped in my head was;
“Has Nigerian music grown to that height where an artist spends half a million dollar to invite a personality for a show? I mean, it use to be co-operate organizations like Nigerian Breweries that could afford this in the past. Then I realized some of these Nigerian artists spend even more to feature their American counterparts in tracks and I thought;
“what a waste of money” because personally, I’ve not found any of these featured American tracks more interesting or special.
OK, let’s assume and agree we’ve gotten to that level.

The second question;
“What was Dare Art Alade thinking?” I mean Kim Kardashian isn’t a musician neither is she a movie star and this is a lady with her integrity in the mud after that sex tape went viral…remember? Alade’s business mind didn’t balance his entertainment mind neither did it balance up with his sense of morality on this one.
Then I thought;
“who will suit Alade’s show if not Kim” I think Will will…Will Smith is a musician, a movie star, a loving family man and a personality with his integrity intact. He would have had more to say, sing and act.
Although the show was reported to be on e of it's kind and has a lot of "WOW!" in it but wasn't because of Kim.

The third question is a general one;
For how long will Africans be subjecting themselves under Europeans and Americans? To break into Hollywood or World music isn’t to pay huge amount of money or go begging, it is to be original in what you do and that directly means being creative with what is around you.
This is a country where people averagely live on less than $2 a day for God’s sake. Musicians like late Fela Anikulapo Kuti, King Sunny Ade, Chief Ebenezer Obey, Chief Ayinde Barrister, Lagbaja, Asa etc have their names on world music map not because they pay huge money to feature a foreigner or go begging with huge amount just to have their faces shown on concerts but because they were real and original in what they do.

I hope our thinking gets better even as we hope the country gets better soon. AMEN!

bad boy!

I thought i was the only one thinking something is odd about the little boy. The boy seriously needs help!

if D'banj and Don jazzy can split, i wonder which other musical artist union should worth making noise about.

Better by farrrrrrr!!!!!!! am proud of my school!

what you'll eat tonight
you can't even predict right
'cause as the night arrive
you may simply change your mind

what you'll wear tomorrow
you already said you'll borrow
but as the sun rise in the sky
surprises behold your eyes

isn't it simply funny
that man who can't predict his next meal
wanna chart his whole life in memory
with a mind that works like wild wind?

the mind is not the right tool
to search in your tomorrow all through
like legs don't need good shoes
to find path ways in a dark room

if you have any other tool
please feel free to put to use
but for now, oh simple one
put your mind at rest and see what comes up next.

manny4life: Mr Buffet, when will you come into Nigeria and invest?

"when will you come and buy Nigeria?" you mean to ask

APC on point!

The fact is that there is nothing this government will do to this man called Maina because they know where the money is...

shymexx: That's one hell of a kissing session....

I just hope their lips are still intact!!

i do not like her music but i sure know her... i know she's gentle and a little timid and it is sad she's gone just like that. RIP
