The track with R.Kelly was not a collabo(atleast thats not what it means to an average music fan)
The track Flex isn't an exceptional track
The Unstoppable Album hasn't been as successful as his 2 previous efforts (2face himself said so)

These are Facts.


@ Thread,

I hope the said single with Mary J Blige would give him his much desired break into the International market, cos FLEX didn't

Durella lives the style, Dbanj acts it.
I don't think they need a duet, anyway never say never

GBAM. . . . . .DONE . . . . . . . ^{This rule of law is really working oo}

The ex-beauty queen, Ibinabo Fiberesima, who has been convicted for the murder of a Lagos medical doctor through reckless driving, appeared in court today as directed by the presiding judge, Justice Deborah Oluwayemi, and was sent to Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison. The judge further ordered that the Medical Director of the prison should attend to her medical needs to ascertain her ailment. Ibinabo broke down and wept as she was being led out of the court after the judge ordered that she should be sent to Kirikiri.

Rule of Law must be upheld 

THE Ijaw of Niger Delta have sent a congratulatory message to the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo Oba Erediauwa, on the occasion of his 30th anniversary of his ascension to the throne of Benin kingdom.
In a congratulatory message signed by Comrade Joseph Evah on behalf of Ijaw Monitoring Group, the Ijaw described the Benin monarch as a living legend who preserved the integrity and wonders of the ancient Benin Empire despite the temptation of politics and lust for money that has destroyed so many heritage in Africa.
“When Benin Empire placed Africa on the world map of commerce and creativity during the era of city-state, we never thought that colonial rule and military regimes would emerge to use brute force to stop the steady progress in the continent.”
The Ijaw insisted that the emergence of Oba Erediauwa in 1999 was a sign of God’s love for the Benin people because the period coincided with the time modernity and foreign culture was on rampage to swallow all identified beautiful African heritage and civilisation.
“We salute the Benin people for their love for this great king of our time. The people of Benin kingdom should join hands with their king and also encourage Adams Oshiomhole to take the case of the Benin natural artifacts stolen and hidden in many American and European museums to United Nations as well as World Court so that the wonders of black Africa are returned to the Niger Delta for tourist destination sites.
“The countries involved in the looting of Benin treasures should pay fines to the Benin people for the period they have used the artifacts. Such fines can be used to provide industries in the kingdom for the ever-increasing jobless youths.”
The Ijaw wished the monarch good health and more years of visionary leadership on the throne.

In 1974, I lived with a woman called Ngozi; she had a baby boy for me whom I named Odinegwebana.  . . the boy was born in my house on January 4, 1974 and I took many photographs of him, which I still have today.

Atleast Don Jazzy isn't 35 yet

I don’t know about any son in the movie industry, I don’t know who that is. The rumour I heard was that somebody said because he looks like me, then, he is my son. But I don’t know of any woman that I ever befriended or married that bore me such a son. Even if his mother told him that I abandoned him, he should have come to me to let me know I’m his biological father.
I mean I‘ve never abandoned any child in my life. That is the funny thing. In 1974, I lived with a woman called Ngozi; she had a baby boy for me whom I named Odinegwebana. I just returned to the country then and I asked the lady to stay with my brother. But before I arrived, my brother had kicked her out, claiming that she started messing around with people in the neighbourhood. That was the last time I saw her. But the boy was born in my house on January 4, 1974 and I took many photographs of him, which I still have today. So I don’t know of anyone else who can claim to be my child. I have met many young men on this job who called me father. But if anyone of them is my biological child, he should come up to me and tell me who his mother was, and how he got to know that I’m his father.

Modenine remixed the song on his own, if you listen well enough, at a point Faze's voice went off key, becuase it was wrongly placed on the beat. It's not an official remix from both artistes. Mode9 did it solely, cos he liked the beat and the concept of the song.

KADA ‘09: The good, the bad, the ugly

The 16th edition of the National Sports Festival might have come and gone but the memories of the biennial event still linger on.
KADA 2009, as the event was tagged, came with its highs and lows. For the first time in a long while, the festival had to take place three years after the last edition hosted by Ogun State.
The Kaduna State government had to postpone the festival last to year to get the facilities ready and many at the festival, which ended on February 25, admitted that it was worth the wait due to the standard facilities on the ground for the competition.
The festival started in Kaduna amidst colourful display of tradition, callisthenics and fireworks. It was indeed a night to remember for the government and people of Kaduna.
The colourful tartan tracks of the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna was the cynosure of all eyes throughout the festival. The tracks, which came in shiny blue colours with white lines to demarcate the lanes, were fixed by Mondo, one of the world‘s biggest sports services and equipment companies.
The firm also built all the track and field equipment for the festival and fixed all the seats at the Murtala Mohammed Centre, another venue for the festival.
The tracks, our correspondent learnt, had energy return, which means the athletes do not lose energy easily while running on them.
A total of 10, 708 athletes were accredited for the event with Kaduna presenting the highest number with 711 athletes while Jigawa State had the lowest number with 69 athletes.
Also at the KADA festival, a new rule stating that at least nine states must register for an event before it could be considered as a scoring event in any sport festival was enforced. Previously, 15 states had to register for an event for it to qualify to score in any festival.
Team Delta lived up to its pre-festival rating as it emerged winner of the NSF for a third consecutive time.
Delta amassed a total of 254 medals – 108 gold, 72 silver and 74 bronze medals to set the pace at the festival ahead of Edo State, who came second with a distant 77 gold, 46 silver and 54 bronze medals.
Team Ogun was third with 261 medals, making it the highest medal winning state at KADA 2009. Ogun won 76 gold, 76 silver and 109 bronze medals.
Bayelsa, Kaduna, Oyo, Lagos, Imo, Plateau and Rivers in that order completed the list of states in the top 10.
At the festival, Nemure Tebisa of Delta State emerged as the best athlete, winning a total of 12 gold medals, the highest ever by any individual in the history of the sports festival. He won nine gold medals in the individual swimming events and three in the team events to boost the medal haul of Delta State. He has been likened to Michael Phelps who won eight gold medals in a single Olympic at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The 22-year-old is the first of the five children of the Tebisa family but however, he would be missing from Rivers 2010, having made his third festival appearance.
One of the major surprises of the competition was when Kaduna was walked over by Imo State in the opening men’s football match event. The host had arrived 10 minutes late in the venue and was subsequently disqualified to the relief of the Imo team.
Four festival records were broken at KADA 2009. Plateau State set the pace when Emmanuel Gwom set a new record with a time of 30.29.63seconds in the 10, 000m men‘s event.
The Williams family from Plateau State etched its name in the history books when Maureen Williams set the new festival record of 30.22m in the women’s pole vault event. Her jump also equalled the national record held by Victoria Itodo.
Maureen‘s father, Kaduna Williams, now a coach with the Plateau State Sports Council, had set the record in the men’s pole vault, which still remains unbroken, at the 8th NSF in Lagos in 1989. He jumped 4.25m in his last festival to end his career on a high.
The Williams family now holds the national and NSF records in the men and women’s pole vault events respectively.
The men’s 20km walk also had a new record while Ogun State on the closing day of the competition set a new festival record in the women’s 4x100m relay.
Team Ogun women‘s quartet clocked 44.83 seconds to enter the history books and erase the previous record of 45.84 seconds set by Delta State at the Gateway Games in 2006.
The young Gagbe sisters, Efiye and Dotimi, led Bayelsa’s medal challenge in the women’s swimming event.
In fact, the older Efiye Gagbe was the star of the festival for the South-South state, claiming five gold medals overall while Dotimi claimed one, both on their debut festival appearance.
Issues of athletes‘ eligibility for KADA 2009 also came to the fore with Delta‘s Amaka Ogbegunam, a former Edo athlete, taking prominence. But the controversy was laid to rest when the sprinter climbed the podium to collect her medals on the final day of the festival. Reports earlier had it that her three gold medals in the women’s 200m, 110m and 400m hurdles events were allegedly withdrawn by the Main Organising Committee of the festival.
KADA 2009 was also not without its ugly side with Osun State kickboxing athlete, Joseph Orjiakor, ending up as the greatest casualty of the games. Orjiakor slumped and died after losing in the final of the 68kg event to settle for a silver medal.
Before then three Delta women cyclists were knocked down while in action and barely managed to escape alive. A volunteer simply identified as Ladi, also reportedly died during the festival.
Kaduna fans almost spoilt the fun with continuous acts of hooliganism throughout the festival.
A para-soccer referee, Monsur Abdullahi, who was brutalized by fans while officiating, carried several plasters and stitches on his broken head throughout the rest of the festival. It was also the same story when the host state lost the men’s handball final to Niger State. Despite the presence of Sports Minister, Sani Ndanusa, and Kaduna, Deputy Governor, Ibrahim Yakowa, the home fans lost their cool and removed the rubber seats at the Murtala Mohammed Square, hurling same at the Niger players.
They went political when Kaduna played Lagos in the men’s basketball final. Despite dominating the game and eventually winning 108-89, the fans chanted PDP endlessly, to deride the Lagos players whose state is governed by the Action Congress.
But in all, most observers agreed that the festival was an improvement on past festivals and a hurdle for next host, Rivers, to surpass come 2010

@ Thread,
Lagos is the capital of entertainment in Nigeria, it's easier to penetrate the market using a nice Yoruba chorus ; that is not to say you  cant make a hit using some other language.

Hmmmmm, did those stuffs back then on campus while we were "acting film" (don't ask me what that means). Rachael please stay clear of it, the conditions, restrictions, side effects and consequences are just too much. . . . .You can't cope, infact no one can, those who do, only pretend in pains so as to decieve innocent ones like you into it. . . . Beware! It's bondage, it's doom!

Bamsyle:


". . . Let me help you out you got a little money, MAINTAIN got more money than you aint that funny . . ."

What he meant here was - money ain't an issue. That Rugged's got more dough as he claims does not mean he's all-round better as an artiste cos even wack Maintain has money. That's why he concluded by sayin' "ain't that funny". To me, that wasn't lame . . .

I think this is what Mode9 meant

You claim to (roll with) have played some part in the career of a successful artiste; 9ice(a Little money), but wack Maintain whom you dissed is richer than you.

Definitely not lame.

nuzo:

Issakaba. You seem to be the only nigerian that have not seen the movie.
Dede mabiaku was one of the star actors.

@ Highlighted

Issakaba is about the operations of the Bakassi Boyz, Derico's life and times was captured in a movie bearing his name; DERICO, where Emeka Ike played him

You meant Sam Dede

Delta State are runway winners of the 16th National Sports Festival after its athletes, increased its total gold medals haul here to 86 as against 59 scooped by its closest rival, Edo, by yesterday noon’s tally. With 86 gold, 56 silver and 61 bronze medals, Delta’s place as the number one powerbase of sports in the country is sealed and confirmed and with the festival ending on Wednesday, nothing can stop Delta from winning the Games three times on the bounce. Unlike in 2006 at the Gateway Games, where only four gold medals separated Delta from Edo, the lead is too much as Edo is even locked up in battle for second place with Ogun State, which has 56 gold, 54 silver and 71 bronze medals. Bayelsa is competing strongly here with 27 gold, 30 silver and 33 bronze medals to place fourth while Kaduna, comes sixth and Lagos lags behind in the 10th position, with 10 gold, 10 silver and 27 bronze medals.
