I really hope we will field a very strong team today and not a weak team that will get bullied by the touts Newcastle parade as players.

2.3billion views will earn you between 3mill to 7mill dollars… That’s minus Facebook, instagram, endorsements and ads.

Is the 2.3 billion views and $3m income an all time figure since he started the skit making ?

afrodoc2:
Lasisi and Josh2funny are local compared to Mark Angel. The first time i heard about Mark Angel was about a decade ago and the first 2-3 people that old me about him were not even Nigerians. I think one was from another African country (maybe Zimbabwe or Cameroon) and the others were Sri Lankan and Indian.

The guy is not funny at all in my opinion but e don get massive global fan base while most of our other skit guys were not even in the business.

Mark Angel has 2.3 billion views on YouTube. Lasisi has 49 million and Josh2funny 103 million.

I’m not disputing the fact that he may have a head start over some of his peers as far as monetizing his social media accounts are concerned , what I find hard to believe is the fact that he has as much as $3.7m stashed somewhere which is proceeds from his skit making business .

It’s not like he makes all that money and doesn’t even spend 1 cent out of it on running costs and other expenses .

The guy is obviously lying with that amount he mentioned ; maybe to gain sympathy or to ward off people that are looking up to him for financial assistance .

By the way, whatever he was earning from him monetizing his social media accounts ; those Lasisi and co would’ve made same in adverts and endorsement money since his own comedy started getting stale years ago.

Ballzproblem2:
ads+subscription+endorsement deals ,is possible,mark didn't start today.and if consider the fact he had most of his income in dollars before naiara devaluation,is possible.

Lolz .

Which endorsement deal does he have in USD ? Which ad does he do in USD?

So all the money he’s been making he doesn’t spend out of it at all? He doesn’t pay house rent or didn’t buy a house ? He doesn’t fuel his car ? He doesn’t have family members , friends and associates he spends his income on?

Ballzproblem2:
is possible o ,maybe en do see habby and Jeffrey Benson lifestyle,greed takeover .

If he has 6 billion as savings , how much gan gan come be his income ?

wman:
I agree with you. Nigerians exaggerate too much. They call humongous fictitious figures, numbers and stats. And they know they have an audience that can't reason well to see through their lies.

You are right .

They just throw around figures knowing fully well that they will have enough people believing them even without showing any workings .

If Mark Angel has as much as 6 billion naira to throw around on forex , I wonder how much dem Lasisi, Josh2funny and co would now be worth . Maybe 100 billion naira sef . 😂

chidekings:
their is some exaggeration......but it seems he lost some significant money.

It’s definitely an exaggeration taken too far because I don’t know how he will convince me that somehow he laid his hands on an amount close to N6 billion and somehow he used everything to nap forex/crypto .

Like not 100million, not 500 million, not 900 million, not even N1 billion but N6 billion . Lai lai!

He’s not even worth that amount in real assets and liquid cash to start with sef .

I seriously doubt this story about Mark angel losing $3.7m to crypto/forex . That’s somewhere around N5.9 billion using N1,600/1$.

If he has that much amount of money and loses it to crypto , I don’t think he will be the one telling the story . Whether the money is 100% his savings or it includes other investors’ money , I believe he would’ve developed stroke or died due to the shock .

The story sounds more like lamba . I mean even if corporate organization lose that amount of money in potential profit , they will feel it .

Amigoss:
They had to create categories for us so talents from this part of the world can win....so if pasuma win Grammy now from one of this categories created,is he now an A-list artiste?

Yes.

I said yes because he would've put serious hard work in his craft for him to even get nominated . Winning the word further signifies that the fact that he has global appeal which made him to be recognized as the best amongst his peers.

That's the essence of awards.

It's just like asking if Emiliano Martinez is world class because he won the Yashin trophy; we all know the answer is a big yes.

BET and the headies list them under hip-hop,pop and r&b awards,Burna lost best hip hop artist category recently to Kendrick

https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/full-list-burna-boy-loses-all-seven-bet-awards-nominations/%3famp

Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, on Tuesday, lost all his seven nominations in the 2023 BET Awards.

He was nominated in the following categories: ‘Hip-Hop Artiste of the Year’, ‘Song of the Year,’ ‘Best Hip-Hop Video’, ‘Best Collaboration’, ‘Best Live Performer’, ‘Lyricist of the Year’, and ‘Hustler of the Year’.

Meanwhile, American singer and rapper, Kendrick Lamar, emerged as the night’s biggest winner, taking home four prizes.

Lamar won “Hip-Hop artiste of the Year”, “Lyricist of the Year”, “Best Live Performer”, and “Video Director of the Year”

I am talking about Grammy; the most prestigious and significant awards in the music industry worldwide. Every other musical award follows.

This may be the real reason Nigeria is where it is today. Because embezzled money was spent on partying rather than solid viable infrastructure

It is very easy to get carried away by the need for unnecessary flossing and shakara

It actually sounds like the mental illness we were arguing about.

I agree with u that it looks like a mental illness disguised as flex sha. But then again, u can't dictate to people how they will spend their money. However, if it is embezzled funds then the law should take its course.

Tochex101:
Indeed those cryptoboys hold money....my cousin who travelled to Malaysia and returned this year after 2 years have spent North of 200 million on Real Estate alone.

Not counting money spent on jewelry......pure gold chains and bangles I kid you not or those spent on clubbing.

Its my position that very many Nigerians(mostly Christians sha) spend 70% of their yearly income within the 3 weeks of the December.......many of our people really love too show up and are just too reckless financially.

More reason why I no dey like hear borrow me money......

Lending people money without any collateral security in this part of the world is a very unwise decision. People in this part of the world generally don't like to return any money they borrow.

Look at all those soft loan apps, Nigerians will borrow money from them and stop picking their calls when it is time to pay back.

Nigerians will borrow airtime from MTN,Airtel,etc and then proceed to break their sim card or stop using the sim.

Even businessmen who borrow money from banks with collateral security will still end up refusing to payback when the loan is due for repayment. If u check the list of debtors on AMCON list u will a lot influential Nigerian business owners owing loans up to billions in Naira which they have failed to pay Nigerian banks back.

When people ask for loans based on self-recognition, it is always advisable u give them whatever u can afford as gift and don't expect it back.

A genre or category was created for us,can he compete with drake and the likes for album of the year,best hip hop or pop artist...that is the angle where i am looking at it from.

But Burnaboy, Wizkid,Davido and co don't sing Hip Hop. So why would u want them to win best hip hop artists?

They sing Afro-beats/afro-centric music and they have been making our sound appeal to people who are neither Africans nor pro- Afro tunes.

They don't need to compete with the likes of Drake and co before they are regarded as A-list artists. Once ur music is gaining global appeal and people are identifying with ur craft all over the world, nothing stops u from being referred to as A-list. If Obama could share his playlist and it had Burna boy's songs on them, it really shows his music is getting to right ears globally.

Seriously no Nigerian is A

A musician who holds a grammy award definitely qualifies to referred to as A-list. An artist who sells ticket and fills stadia and large event space in places like UK, Australia, etc sure qualifies to be called an A-list artist.

You may not agree, but the workings are there for everybody to see and draw inference.

Okay let me ask: What is A-list to you?

Tochex101:
Yea......tomorrow we will still cry the economy is bad.

Night life in Lagos is sha powered by the underground industry.
Honestly speaking the financial muscle of many of this young Gboys will leave you speechless........who neva see no go believe.

Those younglings hold paper.

Lagos night life has nothing to do with good or bad economy.

The ballers are not the regular working class, civil servant, traders or artisans. The ballers are returnees, Yahoo boys and maybe crypto boys who have dollars to convert to naira to fund the expensive lifestyle. If economy enter comatose, they will still spend the money.

That being said, I think Nigerians just like to party and throw money around. I was at a party on Saturday and the host had 4 different artistes who took turns to play. I got there around 5pm and by 10.30pm while I was leaving the 4th musician was still singing. I was told that there was an after party and a 5th musician played during the after party.

The host is an engineer who has group of companies; he usually does annual thanksgiving party at the beginning of a new year. He usually takes a full year to prepare for his parties.

This richer than who discussion dey give nursery vibes........December was truly detty in Lagos.
Alot of people and celebrities came back home.

The bold is actually true.

Almost every morning in the month of December around 6am to 8am u will see different exotic cars parked in front of club DNA opposite Eko hotel, VI . People who clubbed there overnight will be making their way out with different area boys waiting on them for hand outs.

Some of them even have their police and military escorts parked outside waiting on them.

The same thing with Vaniti on Adeola Odeku, VI.

It leaves me wondering what will Secret place, Quilox, Cubana, and Hardrock cafe look like that same period. People really balled this December o

swiz123:
CP is just as loud as majority of Nigerians are stupid. How can someone who is supposedly richer than Burna be doing bouncer for Davido and always recording videos in awe whenever Davido unveils a new car. It's crazier when you factor their age difference.

Obi might want to call the fat pig to order before his loud mouth puts them in trouble. One of Obi's very close associate "Nwanyi Amawbia" was fingered in human parts trade in 2023. The last thing Obi needs is one of his associates involving himself in any publicity stunt.

It's even funny because as recent as 2020 Cubana Chief priest was still in the services of Obi Cubana as his general manager before they fell apart and he decided to start his own gig. How can that same person suddenly claim to have money more than Burnaboy and people believe to be so?

Nigerians funny sha

swiz123:
Kindly compare all the businesses he has and the money they generate to what Burna makes. Maybe you are implying he stashed money somewhere which he isn't using.

There's no way a local club owner who earns in naira will be making more money than an A-list global artist like Burnaboy.

There's a reason why Cubana Chief priest dey follow Davido do boy-boy. Davido musical income long pass Cubana Chief priest club income normally.

Nigerians always have illusion about money sha.

I'll like Arteta to watch Liverpool more and implement their setup with our current squad.

I like how their FBs and forwards are not carrying much defensive responsibility unlike ours. Why are they free? They're playing 3 combative (and technical midfielders).

I had this in mind when I jokingly listed that 'mechanic' midfield trios.

You set up ur team based on the skill set of the players at ur disposal ; you can’t set up ur team in isolation from ur players’ skill set and how comfortable they are on the ball.

If u notice , Arteta’s team set up has not been static since he joined us. At some point we were playing ultra defensive when he joined initially and we had remnant of players from Good Ebening’s time at Arsenal . He was parking the midfield and defence with defensive minded players .

Later he switched it up and started building attack I from the back with zinchencko inverting and driving our attack play . However , that came with its attendant problem which always leaves our backline exposed when Zinchecko is caught sleeping upfront .Zinchecko being weak defensively also didn’t help matters so he had to do away with that game play .

Presently I think it’s injury to our full backs that is our current albatross . I know we have fans that blame Arteta for continually using partey as RB but I personally don’t think he’s doing that by choice . It’s because White and Tomiyasu have continued to struggle with injury/match fitness which has made it inevitable for him to use a makeshift RB in the person of Partey .

Another thing is our players’ indiscipline and copping of unnecessary yellow cards is a major issue that needs to be addressed . If Timber had not copped a yellow in the last match , he would’ve played yesterday as a RB and I believe the result would’ve been different . Partey playing makeshift RB Was inevitable yesterday and Nwaneri not experienced enough to provide the kind of cover Saka usually does on that right wing affected our ball progression from that side yesterday .

Trossard and Martinelli both being out of form at the same time has also affected us this season . Arteta sure has his faults but at times the players too do not cover themselves with glory after the coach trusts them and gives them a chance .

Finally , like every true fan that wants the club to succeed , I hope Arteta and the club management don’t mess up this current transfer window like they did the summer . They should sign quality players and stop the rubbish of signing other club rejects

Watch the first episode of the first season of Ray donovan

The guy is a fixer for celebrities. One football player had a tryst with a prostitute. Bj only. When the guy was not looking she spat it into a bottle of ice cubes for insemination later.

The guy thought he was safe because it was MouthAction

Getting pregnant and carrying to term is a deliberate and conscious choice


I doubt Sophie would have had imade if it was not Davido
She is five years older than Davido.

Unless na cougar runs, women do not play like that. Especially not in these parts.

Anyway in the end better to be safe than sorry.
