Maina does not know Justice Okon Abang. Okon Abang is Nigeria's most ruthless judge. Even when Olisa Metuh "died" inside the Courtroom, Justice Abang waited for Metuh's resurrection and continued the case.

I concur.
The judge is a real brick wall.

Nigerians deserve even worse than the anti socal media bill until they decide to have sense.
I'm glad the death penalty punishment will be for everyone not just "wailers".

The irony of all this is that Messrs Suffering and Hardship neither know ethnicity nor religion.

Exactly.
Let them keep talking trash .
Death penalty awaits them.
That's what they voted for.

The issues are not the same.The issue they have is illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico. Totally Mexico's fault.

Yours is NIGERIAN CITIZENS importing rice into Nigeria from neighboring countries. Totally Nigeria's fault.

If illegal immigrants can cross, drugs and arms can cross too. Especially drugs.
Don't u think so?

Grammy award is for musicians- people who are skilled composers, songwriters, and instrumentalists. Grammy is not for freestyle artistes; not for people that sample other people's work or artistes with incoherent lyrics like the Nigerian pop artistes except for a handful that Burna boy is not part of. Burna boy does good music to some extent though but Agelique Kidjo is a musician, Grammy is for musicians and that's why Grammy is called an academic award.

I have been following the Grammies for years now, I will tell you that I was surprised to see burna boy on that list (no hating please, am just being academic and practical here). But incase Burna boy wins, then the standard for winning was reduced. Gaskia!

Stop there.
Again I say stop there!
Mumford and sons who won album of the year years ago infact did a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's classic song 'the boxer' and the album was nominated for grammys.
Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake holy grail was nominated and they sames lines from nirvana's smells like teen spirit.
I can go on and on about artists sampling other people's songs or even doing covers and still being nominated.
By the way am sure u heard about how drake doesn't write some of his songs but yet gets nominations every freaking year.
Well, in the Hip Hop world it's a big deal but outside its nothing.
Many people have written songs for great artists like Beyonce and Rihanna.

That's why credits are given when due to the writer/composer.

Anazp:
look kidjo is beating burna to it. burna even sampled her song we we almost a whole verse on anybody.

Ain't saying Burna will win. Am saying his album is a very strong contender.
Again sampling someone else's song don't mean nothing.
Puff daddy sampled some lines from Grand master flash ' the message' but ended up producing a better album.
In Jay Z and Justin Timberlake song holy grail, some lines from the then rock band Nirvana's song, 'smells like teen spirit, ' was sampled but jayz ended up making a fantastic album. It's about Who u respect, not who u think is better than u.
Don't forget Jay Z sampling nas song 'dead presidents' too.
That was just respect bro.

Angelique's tribute to Cuban singer Celia Cruz was released on April 19, 2019. It is produced by David Donatien and featured Tony Allen ,
Meshell Ndegeocello and the Gangbe Brass Band . The Guardian has called the album "magnificent" [20] and The Financial Times gave it 5 stars.

The same the Guardian that just gave cold play's new album that's about to be released in the US tomorrow a mixed review. A cold play album that's better than their previous 4 albums.

LifestyleTonite:
The news currently getting Nigerians excited is the Grammy Awards nomination of African Giant album by Burna Boy.

Burna Boy got nominated for Best World Music Album.

Best World Music Album:

Gece — Altin Gün
What Heat — Bokanté & Metropole Orkest Conducted By Jules Buckley
African Giant — Burna Boy
Fanm D’ayiti — Nathalie Joachim With Spektral Quartet
Celia — Angelique Kidjo

While many Nigerians believe he would bring the award home, no one seems to be taking into consideration the competition against him.

Right about now, his biggest competition from Africa is Angelique Kidjo who has been nominated nine times and won 3 times.

Two out of the three awards she has won came from the Best World Music Album category, while the third award was gotten from the Best Contemporary World Music Album category.

Asides the fact that she has won the award three times, Angelique Kidjo has had a successful year in music. She has shut down many top European and American concert arenas with awesome live performances.

Some of the concert arenas she shut down this year:

Royal Albert Hall

Elbphilharmonie in Hambourg

Auditorium Parco della Musica – Roma

Villa Arconati – Milano

Carrington at Kongsberg jazz festival, Norway

Her concert schedule sees her preparing to perform in more top European and American auditoriums. With all these, it is quite clear that it won’t be a walk in the park for Burna Boy.

Below are pictures from her concerts as found on her Instagram Page .

https://wotzup.ng/why-angelique-kidjo-is-burna-boys-biggest-threat-in-grammy-awards-category/

OP concert pictures can't prove how good an artist is or how good an album is. Even a picture of Nas or Jay Z singing in a room would sell faster than Soulja Boy rapping inside a stadium.
I agree with u on some of ur points but take note that the Grammyz always love a fresh new air that's worth their time.
Alternative rock albums were always close to winning the award of album of the year( the most prestigious of the awards) until Arcade Fire album, 'the suburbs,' won it and it won against veterans like Lady Gaga and Eminem.
Also, pound for pound, burna boy's album is unarguably one of the greatest Nigerian albums of this modern era.
The grammyz know quality when they hear one so let's keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.
Finally: this category of best world album has had the likes of the kutis nominated several times too.
If u ask me, I think burna boy's African Giant as a cohesive, yet diverse body of songs beats those of the kutis.

Smoking kills. Why do people indulge in self distraught? Say no to smoking.

Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors


Rock song by the Editors:


Pull the blindfold down
So your eyes can't see
Now run as fast as you can
Through this field of trees
Say goodbye to everyone
You have ever known
You are not gonna see them
Ever again
I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors
Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
How can we wear our smiles
With our mouths wide shut
'Cause you stopped us from singin'
I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors
Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?
We've all been changed from what we were
Our broken parts left smashed off the floor
I can't believe you
If I can't hear you
I can't believe you
If I can't hear you
(We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor
We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor)
Someone turn me around
(We've all been changed
From what we were)
Can I start this again?
(Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor)
Now someone turn us around
(We've all been changed
from what we were)
Can we start this again?
(Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor)

I don't understand this football thing oh ..... someone was relieved of his jobs months ago due to poor performance and management and another top flight club just employed that same person. Did Jose attend any special coaching course while he was unemployed to make up for the laxity in management he showcased while at Man United

What then will u say about the guy that was relieved of his job at Chelsea and immediately juventus signed him.
And the guy is doing badly at juventus.

Luckysbab:

See those ones criticizing the move, without proposing a more effective alternative.

Nyamiri:
If you attended a University, you won't say that expulsion is too much for them. FYI, FUTA rule book prescribes expulsion for offences of this particular nature.

Meanwhile, expulsion is an administrative punishment that doesn't preclude prosecution.

I agree.
Many schools would actually expell the the students.
If they even suspend them sef na till eternity.

The verdict, in a trial arising from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, is not only a blow to Stone but renews

This op must be working with CNN cos these r the kind of news CNN likes to bring to the public.
Where were u when the US posted very positive employment figures?
Why haven't u posted topics related to Joe Biden's son( and how far Joe Biden he has sunk, since CNN no longer likes him?
How about the ongoing impeachment trial that showcases just how the democrats desperately want trump out?
How about the peace deals with turkey?
Nonsense!
