ola_pluto: I find this stat amazing. Does this say anything about promiscuity in some states?

No it doesn't. Unless you are assuming that all infections are due to sex alone?

Are you telling us that Nigeria has the best practice and controls for - blood transfusions, injections, transfusion procedures, barbers & hair dressers etc? Stop this silly propaganda unless you can prove what percentage of infections come from sexual activities!

I'm not even going to go into the validity of the data, especially in a country like Nigeria where everything is political.

Bliss4Lyfe: Dbanj popularity with out Jazzy is not the same. This song would have been better produced by Jazzy, not video but music quality. The kinds of super hits dey produced in the past, dat u don't get bored of listening to. Oh well, good things must come to an end. The two, both Dbanj and Jazzy are losers. I don't recognize them as hits anymore.

Dem dey try sha!

The direction of dbanj's music is being dictated by the powers that be (aka record labels). It doesn't matter if don jazzy is still producing for him or not; the powers that be will pick the type of song they want him to release.
Actually, I'm even surprised that they let him release a song like cash-flow.

Still asking who did the beat?

mimifonwon: i think its because some women have become for sale for highest bidder and sex is easier to get from easy girls, so the men dont feel they have to chase anymore, all some of them have to do is flash money signs and these hungry babes just spread open. No morals+ no respect for self+ easy life= easy catch. And dont generalize on men and women, but personally if i like a guy I like to be the one to dine and wine him, maybe its my controlling nature, but I dont find a guy that comes after me attractive, its better when i am the one that approaches- Personally, then if the guy fancy me then we can go from there.

Exactly!

FYI, a man who relentlessly chases a woman these days is called an obsessed stalker.

Haven't read all the comments.

Men (not just black men) do not "pursue" women like that again because times have changed. Women now vote, run companies, become presidents,..the list is endless. Women now know what they want and a lot of them do the chasing or at least give a very big green light!

Do you really want us to go back to the bad old days when men with medalioned hairy chests forced themselves on women with impunity and then turned around to say that they asked for it?

This is more like it.

Anybody know who did the beat?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Even me with my Opolongi head, Ogoro eye, rabbit teeth, fat lips, K leg, hairy back and 1 pack belle, my wife still believe say na me sexy pass.

footreja:

Then your hearing problem is beyond repair

What is wrong with you? Do you expect everyone to like the song? Do you think your silly comments or likes will influence the perfomance of the song in the market/charts negatively or positively?

Meanwhile, if dbanj himself happens to stumble on this thread, don't you know that it is the critizing comments that he'll concentrate on to see if he could adjust himself for improvement? Do you think he has time for faceless NL azz-kissers? I'm sure he has more than enough azz-kissers in real life!!

Team Dbanj ko, team mavin ni; go and get a life!!

ogugua88: I don't think Nigerians need to sing in a language common to all tribes. Osadebe and Fela are celebrated world wide, including in the US, and a lot of people don't understand what they sang. A lot of Flavour's songs are in deep Igbo but he's celebrated all over Africa. Ask an Angolan wetin Flavour dey sing. They'll tell you "I don't know but he's Mr. Sawa Sawa". When people hear good music, they'll listen to it irrespective of language barrier.

If I'm wrong, then tell me why "Gangnam Style" don take over the world lol. If a Korean song can cross nations, then there's no reason why Nigerian music can't cross tribes.

You are missing the point here. Osadebe sang highlife music and fela did a genre of afrobeat that is totally different from the "afrobeat" of psquare and wizkid. Besides, fela didn't go too tribal with his lyric as most of his popular songs carried a lot of pigeon English in the lyric and narative (zombie, lady etc). Also a sizeable amount of fela's popularity was down to his activism, his lifestyle and the antics of his live shows.

If u want to be a traditional, Fuji, juju or highlife musician, then be so and sing in the language that goes best with it and you'll be respected for your uniqueness and originality(and would probably be given a title in your tribe and perform in loads of parties, and with the right people behind u, go international). On the other hand, if u want to be a "commercial afrobeat musician", then u have to appeal to the masses. What do dbanj, p square, wizkid, tuface all have in common? They keep it urban and don't go too tribal.

And please don't start me off on gangam style. You know its a one off just like macarena and Les ketchup before it. No wonder they paired him up with MC hammer to perform in a recent award show; and he didn't get the irony of it?!

Series22: Is there any anytin like twittershop?
But actually he has lost place because d 9ice we used 2 knw sings 4 all nigerians (e.g. Street credibilty), but nw he only sings 4 yoruba audience. WTF is Gbamu Gbamu?

You hit the nail on the head there. Any naija musician that goes too tribal with his lyrics does so at his own peril. To do that, your song has to be very unique with killer beats and an infectious hook (eg gongaso, ashawo rmx, pakurumo). You have to decide wether you want to " represent " your tribe(who will abandon when u fade anyway) or if u want to make music that all nigerians ( and other africans) will understand and enjoy.

Dis Guy: Siemens said the same thing to Yar'adua

They say this things with the best of intentions. However, by the time they see the reality of what is on ground in Nigeria & the demands of government officials who view them as cash cows (ask Richard Branson), they quietly withdraw hoping no one will notice.

Let's hope this will be different.

Mrs..Chima:


Take a cold shower!   We, women are human!  We aren't dolls!  Leave our bosoms and booties alone!

If we tell you guys, NO!!!! Respect that!

Speak for yourself o! The women I know wear skimpy dresses with plunging neckline and nothing underneath (both top and bottom). They then strut around the house a-jiggling & a-wiggling, picking up imaginary things from the floor in front of me, clearly expecting me to rise to the occasion and grab something.

pro01: This is ridiculous. Referees don't get punished for making BAD decisions, fixing matches, ruining clubs' seasons, and causing untold misery for millions of fans, gamblers, etc.. Yet, a player (Mikel) gets punished for genuinely believing that a referee abused him? ? ?

For the umpteenth time, he was punished for threatening the referee in the locker room.

baba dey: Mr baby boy u r so stewpid. You are a disgrace to blackhood. why didn't mikel drop the case?? Mumu boy. They (chelsea) almost ruining that poor man's career and profile cos of 1st class ignorance and stewpidity displaced by mikel.U av the F right to drop a case,if and when u want to. Let's call spade a spade. The ban is small(he makes more than dat in a week,check his new contract pls). One idiat said cos he's a blackman abi, pls is evra white and suarez black?. Refs over there are well trained that they can't be so frustrated to alter any unprofessional word and to tell u, atom sorry mata and ram he rest will not give bros ode a kobo.

Even if the case against the referee was dropped, they still would have done mikel for threatening the referee which is what the fine and suspension was for. And to my knowledge, d case againt d referee was brought by Chelsea FC.

Clemzy16: I actually saw this coming. Was mikel actually expecting anything different?! Mata was wise enough to redraw his law suit against the referee. While Obinna Michael Mumu was st[u]pid enough to continue pressing charges for something he didn't hear. He said RAMIRES told him the referee called him a monkey, but we all know that Ramires is brazilian. He's not good in english, probably the referee said "Shut up mikel" and he thought the referee said "Shut up monkey". Also, mikel wasen't the only one that filed a law suit againt the referee, the entire Chelsea FC team encouraged him to; when the case was in court, did they come out to give evidence knowing well that mikel didn't hear anything?! NO! It would have been better if Chelsea FC was fined instead. That's a white man's game for you. Now that he's banned i belive they're going to sit down and watch. Sorry mikel, but next time you have to play wisely.

.

MORALS: Never f[u]ck with a white man in his own country.

What are u on about? Did u read at all- "Chelsea's John Mikel Obi has been given a three-match ban and fined £60,000 by the Football Association for threatening referee Mark Clattenburg". From what I heard, he stormed into the referee changing room (an area that players are not allowed to go to) and used threatening language against the referee. Even if they were able to prove that mikel's allegations were true, mikel would have still faced disciplinary charges for his actions. In that case, the mitigating circumstances might have had a deeper effect on the outcome of any charges brought against him; ie probably an even much lesser punishment.

chiboy1928: I have never been to london or europe but have been around and africa,but hope to go to europe somday if dat my destiny.am a graduate and need a job if u can help reach me on ma BB PIN 22AFBC88 or email chiboy1928@yahoo.com.

See as this mumu carry him details put here?! No worry. U go soon go sell land for village so that peckham boys go carry your money drink champagne for old Kent road.

lafflaff123: But I thought London was in Nigeria?so what's up with the Agege bread thing.

Last time I was in Plumstead in London it took me 3 days before I saw a white person.

There are Herbalist on Peckham high street.

Even the best mama put (Alhaja) I have eaten from is in peckham,so why Agege bread surprise una?and yes I ate Agege bread which I bought from a Nigerian store on Deptford high street 9 years ago.

Abeg Agege bread full Nigeria opps London tay.

LWKMD! Plumstead!

In fact, if someone pays u money to bring them into England and u decide to blindfold and smuggle the person into plumstead, Na big wahala when u release the blindfold o! The person go fight u for money refund, because e nor go gree say Na England be that!

coogar:

white people living in nigerian communities eat them too.
canning town, old kent road, woolwich, dalston, deptford, hackney - you would find caucasians in some of the nigerian restaurants in these areas eating jollof rice, pounded yam, porridge and agege bread. they love gulder and star too with isi ewu peppersoup!

You are right. But they are so few make any sort of impact and mostly whites that are being held down by black p**y or d**k. They'll do anything for the koko.

alishachris':
The guy must be an ibo man

You are wrong here. The guy is probably ASIAN. Asians control the African food Market business in London. They have massive stores in all the areas dominated by Africans such as - Peckham, barking, tottenham, thamesmead, woolwich - you get my drift. They also control the sale of African hair and beauty products.

gwas: They should export Agonyin beans too to balance the diet.

There is basically every type of Nigerian food/dishes in the uk but must non-nigerians steer clear away from them.

Yes there is Agege bread in London but it's only nigerians and some other (wide azzed) Africans who eat it.

9jacriip: With bad and very weak internet signal how do we download movies?
I've spent about 3weeks, if not more trying to download a sonic game on my iPad - thanks to MTN!

What is d size of this file?

How about download speed? On average, how long does it take to download a 5MB file on your phone in Nigeria? Just a bit curious.

topsyking:
My bro Maga no pay noni

FreeGlobe: ^
Charity they say begins from home hypocrite start with your pay masters ACN, Tinubu and Fashola.

What a silly thing to say. Is he the one controlling tinubu & fashola?

eGuerrilla: @shymexx, in spite of the dictionary definition you presented above, I think it fair to say, most scholars now consider tribalism (in Africa) a construct that approximates very closely to racism.

In other words, it is viewed pejoratively.

Oya, over to you shymexx.

manny4life:

Perhaps, you should be the one SHUT THE HELL UP, like WTF?

Coming from the crowned queen of tribal bigots in the land that flourishes with hate and bitterness, I'll pass

Where have you seen me in your tribal hating and bashing? Yes, I'll defend Igbos when need be and in very rare cases, I have traded words with your kind, so that makes me a tribal bigot? Perhaps, two options - dig the threads where I have exhibited my tribal bigotry because it was Igbo achievement - or simply BE QUIET.


You're damn right hypocrisy is, and please, don't even get me started. I have respected your opinions on here, but please, don't push it nor even draw the line. If you've been itching to see the other side of me, you're sure to see it if you don't stay on your own lane....shioor.

Now go and do your homework, dig the threads where I exhibited bigotry because it was Igbo achievement or simply BE QUIET.

Na real shioor! Your voking nor get pair! Me nor wan see your part 2 o!

bilms: Hello fellow nairalanders,

It occur to me that we have different kind of Nigerians, and it would be a great deal if we identify the kind of Nigerian you are.

We have some Nigerians who wish,they just wish everything is working in Nigeria ,but since it is not working,they felt their is nothing to be done than to always condemn the country.

Some Nigerians don't even wish anything should get better,they believe the life abroad is all they would ever wanted,so they don't care about Nigeria.

Some understand the difficulties of today,they want to change the situation,but they don't know what to do.

And others are Nigerians,who understand the challenges,ready to work to change it and needed other to feel the same and join the process.

What kind of Nigerian are you?

Rubbish! You never see condemnation!!

The UK government is CONSTANTLY attacked by the various forms of media, forums, blogs, talk shows and individuals, just to keep them on their feet. UK citizens are the worst critics of their own country and govt (and I'm sure its the same in other top countries). They do not accept "they are trying Jare" or "they are chopping money but at least they are working". Nonsense! It is only in Africa where people get sentimental about criticism. They'll say "if u don't like it go back to your country/state/town/village", "is your country/state/town/village any better?", "our own is our own", "when your brother was there, did he do any better?" or "I know this is a machination of ----- people who are hate our people and are jealous of us". The so called leaders are no better as they see critisms as personal attacks; did anyone force u to contest for election?

Arnold1:




Even this Nairaland was founded and is owned by a yoruba

But you don't need to remind us. It's there at the bottom of each page for everyone to see (**rolls eyes**) just in case any person from a lesser (**coughs**) tribe dares to forget.

KDULAR: Recently I went to Noman'land in Kano to buy tire and was appalled at the sorry state of the roads , then asked the trader why are they not doing anything if the government of the state abandon. He replied that well this no be their land , they only here to trade and that residents and traders in Sabongeri/ Nomanslnd are the only people paying btax in the state, yet they are abandoned.

I now ask , you are here doing your business and you loathe the Land that allows you to thrive, by way of not caring about the environment and you expect real blessing, nope, you'll only get temporal blessing (money) but not a lasting one. The attitudes , skill and knowledge understanding and the initiative to develop even your own towns will ELUDE you because you must have become so selfish self centered and timid that you'll not realize the damage you do to yourself by your INGRATITUDE and DISSERVICE to your resident and HOST community.

Sorry bro, YORUBALAND (LAGOS and the west ) and KANO including the whole North can, have and will survive without Igbos or any tribe and may be better off as they'll adjust and do their things at their own pace.
You ask yourself if you can survive as much as you think ON YOUR OWN and if your answer is YES then MOVE OUT( MIGRATE) out of those places and leave. THEY DON'T NEED YOUR PRESENCE if you think you are INDISPENSABLE.

Fashola is doing a better job not the best anyway,the momentum is awesome!!! , but people talk of resources, will they compare Lagos with any other state in terms of VISIBLE CHALLENGES? The challenges in Alimosho area alone overshadows some states inthis country. I came to Lagos last week and I was( would have used AM because I'm still) impressed at what I see some sanity is coming back to some area, it might not have spread throughout the syte but in any way . I give KUDOS.

Sometimes I think most of this guys talking what they like without thinking has never been elsewhere and are just teenagers and people in their 20's . I know what Lagos used to be in the 80's what happened late 80's to the early 2000s and what we are seeing now. i know it is getting better.

People just come to Lagos and decide to do ( illegalities and anti socials) they cannot do in their villages and when government decide to clean up the nonsense , they start talking about rights and insensitivity. How could a government acceed to such.

DINGO:
MAN IS NOTHING WITHOUT THE GODS! NOTHING ! ABSOLUTELY NOTING! LAGOS IS NOTHING WITHOUT THE IGBO MAN!KANO IS NOTHING WITHOUT THE IGBO'S JUST LIKE CALABAR AS WELL. THERE IS NO NIGERIA WITHOUT THE IGBO.

All the tribalists are busy here having their daily fix of ethnic bashing trying to prove (to whom I don't know) that pot is more black than kettle.

This is precisely the reason why Nigeria is the hell hole it is! I refuse to believe that you guys (tribalists) are a minority in Nigeria. You guys are actually echoing the minds of what your tribe actually feel. Even the so called forward-thinking educated progressives amongst you, harbour these hateful stereotypical feelings. You only have to push them far enough to see thier real colours.

I really don't see what you guys are boasting about because Nigeria has been and is still in a deep deep mess. I don't see tourists or investors queuing up to come into Nigeria (no eediot should tell me we don't need it), in fact their govts actually warn them about travelling to Nigeria. And you clowns are busy here arguing over whos poo is smellier?!
