Celebrities › Re: Sabinus Sues Peak Milk, UAC Gala For N1.1B Over 'Something Hooge’, Cartoon Image by bluejay1860: 1:56pm On May 30, 2022

Joezinho:
Go Sabinus, go . Sue their sorry asses..

Section 5(1) of the Trade Marks Act 1967 provides for the exclusive right of a proprietor to use the trademark in respect of the goods it was registered for..

you are funny. You dont even know the law you are quoting. The question is, did sabinus register "something hooge" as a trademark or slogan for his company? He will get Nadal!!!

He can only get some compassionation from gala for using his cartoon without his permission.

Politics › Re: What's Your Take On State Generating Their Electricity by bluejay1860: 3:53am On Mar 04, 2022

The Bill's says state can now generate, distribute and transmit their own power. It therefore means, DISCOS has no monopoly power distribution anymore

Parachoko:
DISCOS don't generate light, they only distribute.

The problem now is that, state might generate, but discos will fail to buy most of what the states are generating

There should be a bill that will make more distribution company start operating as DISCOS too

I might be wrong though.

Celebrities › Re: Fela, King Sunny Ade, Others Inducted Into Afrobeats Hall Of Fame by bluejay1860: 3:29am On Mar 04, 2022

I think to an extent I agree with your opinion that Onyeka Onwenu should have been among those inducted into the Afrobeat Hall of Fame. But one thing I totally disagree with you is your claim that Sunny Ade was able to gain global recognition after his " wait for me" collaboration with Onyeka onwenu. First the records, "wait for me " was released in September 1989 , while King Sunny ade had alread performed in 22 cities in North America including Boston ,New York and Washington. If he was not globally recognised before "wait for me" that was released in 1989, how was he able to perform in 22 cities across North America in 1982?

This is an extract from the New York magazine of 1983.

Visiting royalty usually come bearing gifts. Nigeria's King Sunny Ade is no exception, and on his first visit to America he's brought a special present. Juju music, a lilting, rhythmic, modern version of traditional African sounds is King Sunny's offering. And Americans are jamming concert halls across the country to hear him and his Nigerian band play their first North American tour.

Sunny Ade is actually prince of a city-state in Nigeria; he was deemed ''King'' because he is his country's No. 1 popular musician. After his 22-city concert swing through North America he may gain royalty status here too. In both Washington and New York he has drawn large crowds and rave reviews.

He and his band, the African Beats, have recorded more than 40 albums, averaging sales of 200,000. And his first American release, entitled ''Juju Music,'' (Mango Records MLPS 9712A), has been honored by Newsweek magazine, which named it to its list of the top ten albums of 1982.

Here in Boston, the mayor proclaimed his concert date ''King Sunny Ade Day'' as more than 1,200 people packed into the Bradford Ballroom to dance and celebrate with this rising international pop star.quote author=NwaAmaikpe post=110729049] shocked

I've never been a fan of Orubebe, but I will not take this list.

Onyeka Onwenu is conspicuously missing.

Ekwe, Iyogogo, One Love, You and I, Dancing In the Sun, Odenigbo, Ochie Dike and a few of her other works were global world-class masterpieces.

She gave Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, Thione Ballago Seck, Youssou N'Dour and Salif Keita a run for their money and made them look like learners.

So good she was that Almighty Fela wanted to marry her just as exploitation to boost his global music ratings but she turned him down.

Without sentiments, ask yourself this question.
Was Sunny Ade globally reckoned before his duet with Onyeka Onwenu in "Wait for Me"?

If you are unbiased and a true global music critic, you'd understand why I feel that this award is meaningless if Onyeka Onwenu is not on it.

An Afrobeats Hall of Fame without an Onyeka Onwenu and a Sir Shina Peters is worse than an expensive wedding hall without guests.

Celebrities › Re: Baba Fryo: Davido Shunned Me In My Time Of Need But Donated N250m To Orphanages by bluejay1860: 1:46am On Nov 22, 2021

SapphireBlue:
why are you trying to defend this shameless man? let me school you abit and stop feeding the public with lies. Performing artists have been making money in Nigeria as far back as 60s. they may not have been making as much as this new generation, but saying they were not making money is a lie from the pit of hell. In 93, shina Peters ( a yoruba musician) after releasing his first 2 albums ACE and SHINOMANIA, he made over 20m and spent most of the money to build house, the same amount Jim Ovia used to established Zenith bank. I can tell you, the value of that house today is less than 50m, but do you know that zenith back is one of the best banks in africa today? moral, when you have money,invest it wisely.
Baba Fryo came out the same time with daddy showkey, daddy fresh, father U-turn( rip) etc and was more popular than everyone on this list except daddy showkey. they all made money then because their kind of music was what was in vogue. but the difference between these people is daddy showkey and daddy fresh invested their money wisely and fall back on their investments when they can no longer compete with the new generation of artists. Baba fryo spent his money lavishly on alcohol, woman and weeds. now hes calling out a young guy who he's old enough to be his father for nothing giving him money. Davido owe no one anything, and can choose to help whoever he feels like helping. I grew up in orile very close to ajegunle, I can tell you, baba fryo does not have any good relationships with artist in that neighbourhood. he calls out everyone at the smallest opportunity he has. he has called out daddy showkey before because he felt he should help him . the question is , what have you done to make you feel you are entitled to anything from these people? go back and listen to what davido said , he said " we rise by lifting lifting others abi? I have been rising by lifting people for 100 years, now if you know I have given you hit or done something for you before, I need 1million naira from you". that means he has done alot in the past for people, that was why he got so much. ask your baba fryo who him do ep.

When were you born?... YESTERDAY?

Who or what told you that performing artists in Nigeria between the 1980s and 2000s made money?

Please be seriously guided ooooo and use your brain (if you still have one).

Musicians (only a handful of them) only started making money off music, RECENTLY especially with the advent of SM.

Back in those times, music was NOT the big thing commercially.

A good number of musicians back then still took public transportation and lived regular lives as there was no extravagance to be offered by music.
