Will do my best to support the movementof #goodMusic and not noise

TheSonOfMark:

Then let's appreciate him. Invite him to perform at gigs, buy his albums, give him endorsement deals like you've given to Wizkid and his mediocre ilk. Follow him on Twitter and encourage.

Save our musical geniuses.

you are very correct Sir! Went to follow Timidakolo on Twitter now it saddens my heart to see the Guy having only 50K+ followers. Nigerians dont support good music,all dey want is beat not Lyrics. Dat's why people like Asa,Timi Dakolo,Dare art Alade,Femi kuti and Burna boy dont get enough recognition as dey ought to get.
Diz people are the only set of people that can take our Music to D Next Level

TheSonOfMark:

He's still the same at his very core.

We forced him to change. He's got bills to pay. We changed Darey. We changed Banky. We changed Tiwa Savage. We are changing Timi Dakolo.

We forced them to be less of genuises. We forced them to become mediocres. We forced them to be less than what they are. We clipped their wings.
We also changed Vector the Viper.


We forced them to become quacks as against maestros so they could pay their bills.

Only Asa got lucky. The rest are trapped by our poor taste.

These guys deserve more than us. These guys deserve fans that appreciate their true genius talents.

you are Right but i dont pray Timi Dakolo. Should change

TheSonOfMark:

We all know that no Nigeria Musician as ever won Grammy.So this made me to compile the list of the six Nigeria Artist that can win the Grammy award for us.
the list goes thus:

Femi kuti's voice was featured in the video game " Grand Theft Auto IV"

Tell us about yourself? I am from Kwara
State but was born and brought up in
Lagos state. I am 27 years old but in a
matter of months I will be 28. I have
SSCE certificate. I spent two
years at Ibadan
Polytechnic but
due to some
circumstances
beyond my
control, I had
to drop-out. I
was studying Accounting but family
problems and certain situations made
me quit.
This was how long ago?
Six years ago.
And you have not thought of going
back?
I have not thought of going back because
it is not easy presently. It is not
something one can do in a hurry. When
you are about embarking on it, certain
things crop up.
Do you stay with your parents?
No, I don’t.
Are your parents residing in Lagos?
Yes.
Why are you not staying with them,
are you married?
No, I am not married. When my dad left
my mum he took me along. They have
been separated for long, but my dad is
late now. I am my own family.
Tell us what you mean?
It is because I don’t depend on anybody.
I depend on myself and what I do. I am
the only child of my dad, but I have
other siblings from my mum. I lost my
dad, February 28, 2006.
What made you venture into this job?
Like I said earlier, circumstances and
due to family background.
Family background in what way?
I am from a polygamous home. I grew up
with my grandmother- my dad’s mum. I
am not actually Yoruba, I am from Delta
state, my mum is from Kwara state, but I
don’t like Deltans.
Why don’t you like Deltans?
She is from Agbor, Igbakin, but I just
don’t like them.
When did you start this job?
That would be confidential, because it is
something I don’t want to remember.
Was it a bad experience?
Yes and I am somebody that have seen
things. I have really seen things.
At this young age?
Yes, I have, sincerely.
What have you seen?
Both good and bad things in life.
Given an option, do you wish to opt
out of this profession?
Yes of course, why not? It is not my wish,
neither is it my dream to do what I am
doing now. I have a daughter.
How old is she?
That is also confidential.
What of the father, are you formally
married?
I am not formally married, but I got
pregnant and have a daughter. She is,
however, well taken care of and I can
guarantee that.
Where is she living?
She is living with her dad and her dad’s
family.
But is the dad aware you are doing this
job?
I don’t have any business with the dad
because we are not together and he
doesn’t have any business with me.
Whenever I feel like seeing my daughter,
I am free. She is in a boarding school at
Epe. She schools there.
Is Ikeja a take- off point for you?
I operate in other places like Surulere
and Island.
What are the differences in these areas
and their peculiarity?
There is a big difference. In Ikeja, Police
do harass us likewise street boys. All
guys that come out late in the night are
all street boys, because we are all on the
streets. I won’t say they are touts. There
are some girls on the street that get
beaten each day and some girls get
picked by wrong people due to
impatience on their part. On the Island
there is no police harassment.
Patience in what way?
Some girls are not patient enough to the
extent that any guy they see, they follow.
Some will get paid, but they will be
beaten up, while some won’t get paid
and they will be extorted. Some girls also
go with ritualists which is very normal in
this profession.
Normal in what aspect?
Being on the street, you need to be
intelligent and make use of your
intelligence at all times. I do tell my
friends, you don’t just go with anybody. I
won’t say I am perfect, or the best or the
most intelligent one. When you want to
go with a guy, study the guy, concentrate
on him, don’t be distracted, watch him
closely. Like me, when going with a guy, I
watch him closely, his words, his
countenance. That is when I judge you
and also judge your pocket.
What are the factors to look out for
before venturing into the job?
Firstly, I won’t advise anyone to come
into this business. When it comes to the
money aspect, there is money in it, but
where will the money lead you to? I have
seen money sincerely, but ask me, where
is the car I have bought? Where is the
house I have built? Where is the land? If
one wants to go into this business I tell
the person where to move to, the clothes
to wear, what to look out for in a guy,
things to say. It’s not about using juju.
Politeness and a little more do the trick.
Not all guys one can talk to in a polite
way. But being the patient one, you just
need to overlook some. Some will say
‘Ashawo, how much be your money?
Some girls would pick offence saying,
“you dey craze, your papa, your mama.
You fit pay my money?” While some
would just be laughing saying “you don’t
have money in your pocket.” For me, I
sometime I abuse guys, I won’t say I am
the innocent one, I abuse guys. So if a
guy says all this things, I give them back
in a decent way. I would just say “you
are not okay because no be Ashewo born
you? if your mama no be Ashewo, na
your papa she first fxxk?”. If a guy tells
me words that insult my person, I will
just gently say, “Sorry I am not going with
you simply because of what you said.”
Do you have regular clients?
Yes Girls have regular clients. I have guys
like that. Atimes they call me on phone,
and tell you they don’t have money,
some girls agree to service them for free
while some will say “I come Lagos come
count bridge?” The difference between
Victoria Island and Ikeja is that Police
don’t disturb, they will even smoke with
you and fight for you. Though Victoria
Island has its own disadvantages too. At
that area, the ritualists and bad people
are too much. It is not that Ikeja is
exceptional, but not as much as the
Island . The only bad thing in Ikeja is the
Police. If Police see white, they will tell
you it’s red. They don chop my money
well well. They would demand for sex if
you don’t have money. That is why
anytime I am coming out on the street, I
am always with my ATM or I have
money. But now as their customer, Police
can’t harass me again.
Can you share any bitter experience in
the cause of this job?
There are several bitter experiences, like
you going with a ghost. It has happened
to me and three of my street friends.
How I experienced this was sometime
ago at Page Night Club, now called
Vogue. I was outside with a friend when
a man picked me up and took me to a
destination that till now I can’t
remember. On getting to his place, he
said he only needs a girl that would
sleep beside him that he does not want
to have sex. Apart from being a ghost, I
have seen guys like that who just want
company so he told me not to smoke,
that I shouldn’t switch on the television
and I agreed. We laid together. I am a
kind of person who leaves a guy’s house
or hotel very early in the morning before
6.00am. I woke him up at about 5.45am
that day, he asked if I was ready and I
said yes, he told me to wait till 6.00am I
agreed. I showered and came
downstairs. He asked me to wait for him
downstairs that he was going to drop me
which was part of the negotiation. On
getting outside the entrance, the man
left upstairs in his own room on the bed,
was already dressed up inside his car
asking me to come in that we should
start going. I was scared and terrified. I
couldn’t move my body. I was stucked.
He smiled and came down and said I
should come. I could only move my
head, what he did was a mystery. He just
laughed and told me not to be scared.
He told me few things which till date, I
can’t remember. He told me to take my
money and I refused the money because
I was really scared and trembling. He
smiled and told me I can’t find my way
from his house that I should pick my
money and enter the car. I kept arguing
with him and he threw the money on the
floor and asked me to pick it, that he
does not have any bad feelings towards
me. I picked the money, but I refused
him taking me in his car. The only thing
he told me was that I should keep doing
the good I was doing. I then queried that
what good I was doing. That was how I
departed. I stepped out of the gate and
saw a Keke Napep that dropped me. I
don’t even know where the keke picked
me from, I just met myself at Ikeja.
Remember he had told me I will never
know the house again and that I will
never meet him again. So that is one
thing about street life.
Are you a Christian?
Yes, I am a good Christian, but I won’t lie
to you, I don’t attend any church
presently.
Have you ever been picked by armed
robbers and was forced to operate with
them?
Yes, I have been picked by an armed
robber before but I did not operate with
them. Later on, the robber wanted me to
travel out with him, but I refused.

Once upon a time, there lived
Brahmin and his wife who had no
child. They prayed to God every day
in the hope that they would be blessed
with a child.
One fine day, Brahmin's wife did
give birth to a baby, but it was a snake!
All the villagers, their friends and
relatives advised them to get rid of the
baby snake. But Brahmin's wife did
not care that her baby was a snake. She
loved it all the same and refused to get
rid of it.
She reared the baby snake with tender
loving care and gave him the best of
things. After many years had passed,
Brahmin's wife decided that it was
time to get her baby married. But which
girl would marry a snake?
One day, when the Brahmin returned
home, he found his wife sobbing. She
refused to tell him the reason, but just
continued weeping. Finally she told him
that she was crying because she
realized that he did not love his son
because he was not even thinking of his
son's marriage.
Brahmin was shocked. He asked
her which person in his right mind
would agree to marry his daughter to a
snake. But seeing his wife crying
ceaselessly, he was forced to go out in
search of a bride for his son.
He traveled far and wide, but with no
success. Finally, he arrived in a big city
where his best friend lived. The
Brahmin decided to pay him a visit.
They were both thrilled to see each
other after such a long time. His friend
asked him what brought him so far
from home. Brahmin replied that he
was searching for a bride for his son.
His friend told him to look no further
and immediately promised his
daughter's hand in marriage. The
Brahmin told him to first take a look at
his son. His friend refused saying that
as he knew the family, it was not
necessary. So he sent his beautiful
daughter with Brahmin.
Brahmin's wife was thrilled and
immediately started making
preparations for the wedding. Everyone
advised the girl not to marry the snake,
but she insisted that she must keep her
father's word.
And so the girl and the snake were
married. After marriage, the girl was
the epitome of a devoted wife. She
looked after the snake well. The snake
slept in his box at night.
Then, one night, when the girl was
going to sleep, she found a handsome
young man in the room. She was scared
and was about to run for help. The
young man stopped her saying that he
was her husband. Of course, she did not
believe him. So he proved it by getting
back into the snake skin. She was so
happy that she fell at his feet. After
that, every night the young man would
shed the snakeskin and spend time
with his bride. At daybreak, he would
slip back into the snakeskin.
One night, Brahmin heard noises in
his daughter-in-law's room. So he kept
a watch and saw the snake turning into
a handsome young man. He rushed into
the room and threw the snakeskin in to
the fire. His son thanked him profusely
saying that he was freed from a curse
that forced him to stay in the snakeskin
until someone destroyed it without his
asking.
And so the handsome young man and
his beautiful bride lived happily ever
after. Source: www.dailygist.info/2015/06/read-story-of-girl-who-married-snake.html?m=1
