@@@@Poster, I think since there are so many girls falling over themselves cos of him, maybe you should take time to study what these girls do to him and how he responds to them, through that you will be able to know his taste and what kind of guy he is and from there you can construct your own format. But make sure he doesn't have any of the silly girls around him anytime you plan to strike him and be modest, don't be too flashy and don't try to seduce him it will only make you look like one out of the hundreds of girls chasing his front tail. Just be yourself and don't be the captain of the conversation, figure a way out to make him captain the discussion. You know what da mean! Good Luck Jonathan (figure head deputy) Best of Luck sweety!

Goodluck Jonathan His most powerful political performance this year was at the final match of the just-concluded Under-17 World Cup event in Abuja, where he represented Yar'Adua. LWKLM Figure head deputy, is he the one people are expecting to takeover from President Yar'dulla?

I don't wish him dead, i wish him quick recovery but the useless man sucks as the president of a country like Nigeria with his unknown health status. Yar'adulla!!

You try small!!

Enjoyment1:
Now Sallah too is around the corner, and it is Barka de'Sallah to Bode Goerge!.

Bickering in the legislature over the venue for the presentation of the 2010 Appropriation Bill is likely to prevent President Umaru Yar’Adua from appearing before a joint session of the National Assembly (NASS) today.

Senate President, David Mark, wants the presentation done in the Senate, House of Representatives Speaker, Dimeji Bankole, prefers the House.

A source in Aso Rock disclosed on Wednesday that Yar’Adua has sent a letter to both of them that he would send in the Bill without making a personal appearance.

Bankole’s stand was buttressed on the day by House Media and Public Affairs Committee Chairman, Eseme Eyiboh, who said: “Traditionally it has always been in the House of Representatives, and that tradition is usually informed by the convenience of space and logistics.

“The 360 members in the House, 109 Senators, (Yar’Adua) and his entourage, Governors, chieftains of political parties, captains of industry, and members of diplomatic corps are coming.

“So when I am talking about the convenience of logistics and space, it’s the tradition that the House provides that space to accommodate that audience. The Senate has the capacity to accommodate less than 150.”

Even with that, the Senate, breaking with tradition, wants to receive Yar’Adua in the Red Chamber, whereas the practice is for the President to present the budget in the House.

Senators have since 1999 moved across the lobby to the House to receive the Presidential address on Appropriation Bills.

However, since the inauguration of the Sixth National Assembly two years ago, a frosty relationship has existed between Mark and Bankole, which has escalated during this Constitution review.

Forty four House members on the Joint Committee on Constitution Review (JCCR) walked out of a retreat in Minna on January 17 because Deputy Speaker, Usman Nafada, was not given the title of JCCR Co-chairman.

Senators stood their ground that the nomenclature is not in the Constitution – and, in the end, each Chamber embarked on a solo run in the review.

Yar’Adua had earlier written to Mark, the NASS Chairman, on his desire to address a joint session of the NASS today.

Since 2007, the Senate and the House have concurred only on money Bills, specifically Appropriation Bills.

The House has 28 Bills awaiting concurrence with the Senate while the Senate has 12 gathering dust on its shelf, awaiting concurrence, and Yar’Adua’s assent.

His request to present the Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the NASS is based on Section 81 (1) of the Constitution.

The Section states that, “The President shall cause to be prepared and laid before each House of the National Assembly, at any time, in each financial year, estimates of the revenue and expenditure of the federation of the next following financial year.”

His letter of November 3 reads: “In compliance with Section 81 (1) of the Constitution, I crave the indulgence of the National Assembly to grant me the slot of 11:00 a.m. on (November 19) to formally address the joint session of the National Assembly on budget 2010.”

Yar’Adua may meet a divided legislature if he wants to make the presentation in person.

A Senator said on Wednesday that the decision to receive Yar’Adua “has already been conveyed to Aso Rock. He is coming straight to the Red Chamber.

“In a situation where, owing to lack of space, we may have to relocate to the Green Chamber, Bankole would not sit with Mark on the dais.

“That is how it has been in the past but this is the time to correct the anomaly. We are relying on Section 53 of the Constitution which states that in any joint sitting, the President of the Senate would preside.

“There is no provision for Bankole to sit beside the Senate President when he is physically present to preside over a joint session.”

Senate Spokesman, Ayogu Eze, reiterated that the Senate Chamber is large enough to accommodate all lawmakers, and that Mark consulted all stakeholders before taking the decision.

Said Eze: “You are aware that (Yar’Adua) is coming to present a budget to the joint session tomorrow (today), and you are equally aware that it is the prerogative of the Chairman of the (NASS) to decide the venue of the joint session.

“This year, he has decided that the joint session will take place in the Red Chamber, and all the relevant authorities have been duly notified, (including) the leadership of the House and the (NASS) leadership – including the Clerk of the (NASS) and the management.

“Every arrangement is being put in place to ensure that (Yar’Adua) makes a hitch-free presentation of the 2010 Appropriation Bill.

“The Red Chamber is enough to accommodate everybody. We have enough seats in the Chamber to take every body. The issue of venue is not a big deal because it is the prerogative of the Chairman of the (NASS) to decide the venue.

“He can even decide that we go to the banquet hall of the House of Representatives to hold the session, and his decision that the thing should hold here this year does not mean that next year it cannot go to any other venue, provided that it is within the (NASS) complex.

“I don’t see any reason why anybody will not come. I don’t know why we bother ourselves with logistics. The issue of logistics is the prerogative of the NASS management. They will sought out the seating arrangement.”

Eze counselled that lawmakers should not spend time speculating on something not in their purview, what is important is that in taking the decision, Mark consulted with all the stakeholders.

He said the decision to hold the joint session in the Senate Chamber has nothing to do with any frosty relationship between Mark and Bankole.

“In any case, I am not even aware that there is any frosty relationship in the leadership. There is no such thing.”

@@@@LALABOI, Talk to your dog, he needs to grow up!

THE decade of the '70s was characterised in Nigeria by Afro-fusion music, with the late Fela Anikulapo Kuti as the major inspirer. But alongside this revolution, juju music was also flourishing with Ebenezer Obey and Sunny Ade as major exponents who were perceived at the time by their numerous fans as archrivals.

An intriguing aspect of this development was that the two musicians had their different styles, backgrounds and approaches, a situation which made this perceived rivalry a healthy one that added value to the emerging juju music of that period. It was not the type of rivalry that engendered bad blood but that of competition, motivating each exponent into releasing records that were capable of out doing the other persons output. The situation forced both men to work harder on their lyrics and instrumentation, all of which in the end turned out great hits that have become evergreen

The music which made it for Obey in the '70s was Board Members recorded in 1972 upon the band's return from Britain; and board members has been his best selling hit over the years. Other hits of the 70s include Iwa ika kope (1974), KeteKete, Epo ila (1973), Ota mi dehin lehin mi (1976), Eto Igbeyawo and Madele (1974) amongst several others.

Some of the hits with which Sunny Ade competed with Obey include Esu biri biri, Ekilo fomo ode, Nitori awa, and Synchro system, a performer that was inspired by the emerging Afro beat influence of that period, among others.

Even though they were not enemies, each made statements and claims that tended to portray the one as superior to the other. For example, they both re-introduced multiple guitars which were used as far back as the 1940s by the Jolly Boys Orchestra into their instrumentation, but Obey claimed responsibility for introducing these guitars Western drum kits, and the transition of the music from a neo-traditional form to an urban social type. Said Obey who made his first record in 1963, "I noticed that people like to stick to their own ways, especially old people. They don't want to compromise. But the younger ones always want freedom from the old system.

"They want new things; and knowing that, I modernized the music, and created my own fashion in music, the miliki system.

And I happened to be the one who started the modernisaiton of juju music. The fathers of juju music only played one guitar. I introduced three guitars and arranged it in such a way that would catch the attention of the youth and cross to the older folk, so as to have both ears of listeners, and it worked. The three guitars are tenor, rhythm and lead."

In order to keep the competition aflame, Sunny himself would not only lay claim to the introduction of these multiple guitars, he emphasized the innovation of the tenor guitar which Bob Ohiri, who was exposed to it in Fela's Africa 70 later played in Sunny's African Beats aggregation.

As a way of massaging his superiority, he began to pontificate and

pronounce on the origin and actual essence of juju music, saying:

"The name, juju music, was given to the particular music by the colonial people." Continuing, the king of juju music said, "In the olden days, any black African medicine was called juju, any music played around there they called it juju music. But now it is a different type of music entirely and we still want the name to remain."

Even though this explanation is not in consonance with the more credible story of the' origin of juju music, Sunny Ade was granted audience by a foreign interviewer who reckoned with his views because they were coming form one of the major exponents of juju music.

The more credible story is the one told by Ambrose Campbell and Fatai Rolling 'Dollar who spoke from empirical evidence because they participated in the ebb and flow of the music - from the 30s. Their version of the story 'links the origin of the name, "juju" to the 'tambourine', an instrument which was thrown at will by its exponent whenever excitement and inspiration took over.

The perceived rivalry between Obey and Sunny in the 70s inspired a lot of followers in a trend which enthroned juju music as mainstay in Lagos and the Yoruba speaking States of the West at the end of the civil war in 1970. The music flourished because of the absence of highlife, which had declined and gone with the war.

The two have become legends. In a sense they can be referred to as innovators because they had the greater number of followers- musicians whose music became steeped in the system of Obey and Sunny, artistes they saw as their mentors. This was despite the fact that there were such individual styles by I.K. Dairo and Orlando Owoh, which could broaden the scope of juju music.

As it turned out, the rivalry that took place between Obey and Sunny was the making of their different fans, some of whom were so fanatical and loyal, they were prepared to antatogise anyone who did not worship their idols or records because they preferred one to the other.

The musicians themselves were friends but they fuelled and manipulated the situation to their own advantage. It helped to boost the sales of their records which they released one after the other, in quick succession.

However, as a show of solidarity and friendship, the two made an effort to dispel the rumour and perceived feeling that they were antagonists.

The venue was "Obey Miliki Spot" at Olonode, Yaba,

Lagos, a night club which was previously patronized by Fela Ransome Kuti's Koola Lobitos when the place was called "Crystal Garden". The date was August 16, 1973 when Sunny Ade went to join Ebenezer Obey on the stage to play guitar solos and accompaniment to Obey's music. The audience screamed with excitement.

In order to convince their different fans that as musicians, they were friends in the same profession, Sunny released an album which had in it Oro tonlo, meaning "what people are saying", where he further asked their fans to stop insinuating that the two of them were enemies, warning them to stop fanning the embers of hatred and antagonism where they did not exist.

The perceived rivalry, which existed only in the imagination of the artistes' fans, was obviously a gimmick of circumstance made out to drive the talents of the two great musicians. And it worked perfectly.

Sunny Ade's image and popularity since the 70s have reached tremendous dimensions. He has become one of the biggest stars not only in Nigeria and Africa, but also across Europe and America.

In 1981, for instance, Sunny Ade blazed into global prominence when Island Records signed him on.

On the other hand, his rival, Ebenezer Obey has since become an institution and big influence across West Africa. Even though now an evangelist, he is a successful entrepreneur and still comes out of semi retirement to perform ground- breaking gospel music.

ure FOOL
your FAMILY NAME WILL BE SPOILT OK
OLORIBURUKU


if u dont see the idea(making nairaland lively) behind this thread!!!!
those insults are urs, for spewing nonsense

You didn't fail to surprise me. Immediately i came on NL, i was told about you. Keep it up!

1. MODENINE
His lyrics are out of imagination and he will kill any kind of beat you give him, no wonder even Lagbaja (omo baba mukomuko) featured him on his track. A bigwig musician of Lagbaja's calibre would't have featured Mode9 if he wasn't doing hip hop the way its suppose to be done. Me think mode9 is the reason why hip hop finally stood its ground in naija. Mode9 started real hip hop even when people were hissing at him he stucked to his gun and the aftermath is the reason why all our rappers are now sounding american today. This should be an inspiration to all upcoming rappers and even the ones there now. No mode9 has made rap music popular in naija and people don't want to accept the true fact that he layed the mat for these newcomers to walk on. Lets be honest here, if mode9 hadn't stucked to his gun Sauce, M.I, Ghetto bitch P and all these small new rappers coming out now will all be rapping like pigdin rap like Rugged man. Mode9 is a Legend! Faze should have mentioned his name in his originality song, well he featured in the remix version and that made me glad.

2. EEDRIS ABDULKAREEM
Eedris no doubt is synonymous to naija hip hop, the history of naija hip hop is incomplete without that name. Lyrically he may not be a good punchliner but when speaking naija hip hop generally then you must not leave him out. During his reign he was the most sort after and one of the highest paid artiste then. He was the first Nigerian Rapper i looked up to then. I just love his naija/omo-ita style. His albums are like umbrella during raining season, you must have it and his hit tracks always compete with the all school anthem National Anthem in every primary school and secondary school. I love his naija originality and his little touch of "Omo-ita" its makes him Eedris Abdulkareem. The guy is fire when on stage, i remember one of his performances i saw on Prime time, that guy has got street credibility. If there is one artiste in naija that i will always love for no reason, then it is Eedris Abdulkareem. Either you like it or not you must knod your coconut head whenever the DJ spins Sakomo, Sade, Belinda, Mr Lecturer, Jaga jaga, Rema, Koleyewon e.t.c . Am still crazy about his first album "PASS". I love his Letter to Mr president Album, from the first to last track is crazy. LondON NoGuns and Rema are my favorite in that album. He spat fire in King is back, all the tracks prove he has step up lyrically, the album cut across all subjects you wann talk about from his life to family, Niger Delta, naija music, politics, religion e.t.c , Eeedris Baba, i hail you anytime!

3. ELDEE THA DON
This is another lyriku we-re, Lanre is cool when it comes to versatility then you are talking about ELDEE THA DON. He can switch style anytime and flow on any beat. I respect his one of the pioneers. He is a so many in one. He is another reason why naija hip hop stood ground. All these new comers coming now and shouting "swagga swagga! should pay homage to people like Mode9, Eedris and Eldee e.t.c He has even gone internationally by doing a song with Young Joc and Ciara. Eldee is tha real don!!

4. RUGGED MAN
This guy blow my mind any day anytime. I always anticipate to hear from him. Am in love with all his album, his delivery is bomb and he has a way of killing every song he is featured but he seem to be fading out of my audio system slowly because its been long i heard from him or does he have a new album out after RUGGEDY BABA because me i know no oo. Am outside so e no easy to know but i doubt if he has any after Ruggedy baba. Also, i think Mode9's deathblow kicked him out of my Home thearter maybe sha but i still look forward to hear from him. Ruggedy baba is a huge album and from the beginning to end is sick. Rugged is a tight lyricist too when it comes to English/pidgin flowz.

5. M.I/ELAJOE/O.D/TERRY D' RAPMAN and DAGRIN

As for my 5th best, am skeptical, i have to share it between the above listed. I love M.I's delivery on every track of him, he is a beat killer and he gat bomb rhymes that can disflower a 10years old girl.
Elajoe is an under-rated rapper, i have been at his back since the days of thoroughbred and i find him real sick, he should come out with something for boys to feed on man.
O.D - Thats my man, his flow delivery is sick too. Some say his flows sound mode9-like, that one na lie!! The guy got his own flows. Mode9 switches style, mode is versatile on rap delivery but O.D sticks to his own style and is kicking it great. Am loving him.
Terry - Terry and mode9 are the only two naija rappers that i have confirmed that they are real rappers. They can freestyle, i mean they are freestylist, they can freestyle on any beat at anyday anytime. I have confirmed that. Terry got crazy deliveries and off tha hook punclines. He has never disappointed me on any of the tracks i have heard of him. Boiz are not smiling!!!!!! Boys dey vomit!!!!

Dagrin -  All of us know na, this guy is a badman on yoruba hardcore rape. He took Yoru-rap to the next level. Ajasa made it a nice style but Dagrin took it hardcore and thats the reason why am of the opinion that his C.E.o will snatch best album of the year if nominated. Dagrin is Lyrical babalawo.

That is my personal analysis ooooo. Please, am not spraying licence for anyone to beef me ooo or call me names and if u wann give me argument make sure you hit objectivity and be sensibly because i heard MTN is doing free internet browsing for people with memory of low RAM, i don't want people in that category plss!

No hate please!!!!! Just my own introspective thought ooo so am not giving any crack head the license to call me any ill name. 

To me, i think Sauce kid is good but he is beginning to fade on my audio system for some reasons, it has been proven many times that he can't freestyle and thats not good for a rapper. Also, i think he should stop shouting "na me be fine boi! na me be fine boi!!" up and down and try to murder some more beats, Also, i regret that he is from the same camp with Ghetto P tha mumu that sang Big baby, that song is baseless and has no sensible origin, the rhymes are weak, not strong punchline and he as not raw reason for the beef so that to me makes him a generic version of Ruggedman and the big baby song another ehen! He is just begging for cheap publicity. I love the way my shege gave hit him back, "How can i be mad when u callin me big baby, when am on your moms tits tell the bi**tch call me baby" this line alone swallowed his big baby and made him look like a fool that he is.

Now sauce kid lovers (including me) I think you should stop rating Sauce kid as the best yet, its too early to do so, he only has one album in the market, you may be digging his career grave if you go ahead and over-rate him if his album don't do good when it finally drops. Also, an artiste has never been rated on his debut album, only on NL na hin i see, you wait for him to drop enough projects like Mode9 (No rapper in naija has the number of album mode9 has! Lie?) before you star making comparison. Sauce kid is good, M.I is good, i love his rap delivery, Mode9 is a BAD MAN!!

Sauce is good but not as much his fans make!

This song are the most played on my audio system, not in any arrangement format but Shege na BAD BOI!!!!!!
Mode9 - Alaba
Mode9 - Badman
Mode9 - Loke
Pasuma - Feel it (entire album)
Suspect feat wyclef and naija all stars - I no send you

dammiecool:
abeg help me tell them oooooo!!!!!

there is more to rap than spittin dry metaphors, punchlines, (like big babbie)

make good music haa!!!!!!!! spit wetin all man fit relate with!!!! spit wetin all man fit understand

Music is for all

Am going a lil bit off topic, moderator abeg no vex.

That Ghetto P song Big baby, please does anyone knows how that guy came up with such a terrible song. You can call it a beef song but that song doesn't fit into an average hip hop song at all, the lyrics makes no sense, the rhymes are just like rhyming osama/obama blah blah Sh**t, the delivery is soooo wack. I wonder what mode9 haters people like about the song and its obvious the guy is just looking for cheap publicity because i've listened to the song million times and i still can't figure what could be the origin of the beef or the reason for the song, i think he is just a new version of Rugged man trying to bring down the mainstream to get up and it hurt me most that he is from Sauce kids's camp because me i like Sauce kid but that guy is beginning to shake my likeness!

Now to topic, Terry tha Rap man is a Punchliner but maybe his rap delivery is not too ok or let me say catchy and as for M.I abaga, his rap delivery is sick but his punchlines don't buzz me that much, he acts well his part on every song he has featured. M.I is cool, Terry is fine!

I will knod my head to these songs till death do us apart!

2pac - Hit em up
Nas - Ether
G.A.M.E - One Blood
Obie trice feat Eminem, Dre - Shit hit the fans
Mode9 - Deathblow (Direct confrontation)

@@@@@POSTER TOSIN

You just gave everyone license to call you names, i guess your intention was to seek peoples opinion on what name fits you best and am sure by now you must have made a choice of one now. You should have just borrowed a dictionary and check the meaning of "ether' before giving birth to this thread. You obviously don't know the meaning of the word or you didn't understand Shege's lyrics, you should have asked on NL instead of spoiling the name of your family here. I hope you will be able to make it up to them anyway.

Till Makaveli returns all eyes on me!

Mode9 - Swagga man dope
Mode9 - Loke
Mode9 - Alaba

The sound of these songs always chase me out of the toilet with my pants down without cleaning my bub bum!!!

Dagrin - C.E.o

So Jesus wound never heal? He needs to put rub some sore powder or engine oil on that hand.
