Ibime: If Wizkid help everyone he came across, he would be broke today. Like I said, it depends on the friend definition of broke for Modogg. If Modogg is in the gutters Wizkid can lend a helping hand based on past favour. If Modogg has a roof over his head and driving a 2007 Corolla, he is quite alright. It is impossible in this life for a man to carry another man fully who is not his relation
Someone said if u help all the nurses that took care of ur mother while in labor , the cab driver that drove her to hospital , the pastor that thought u in Sunday school and teachers that thought u in school from ur formative years….. You will definitely be more broke than each of them now.
Theflint1: Our best years since the return to democracy have come from presidents that were in their 60s, that's no coincidence.
It’s funny that generally in Nigeria the age of retirement from active service does not extend beyond 65, yet at 70 we expect a man to think and chart a course for prosperity and economic upliftment for over 150 million people .
Ibime: From all indication, Wizzy used to hang around the studio all day waiting for a chance to record when there was some free time, and working on his melodies in the meantime. It depends what the friend sees as broke and what his expectations are of Wizkid. If Modogg and family are eating and have a place to stay, that's not broke.
The problem is here in Nigeria , most people have a very strong entitlement mentality ; and if u don’t live up to their expectations u become a snub, ungrateful and selfish individual .
For example if u end up finding ur way to Europe and being on the books of an European club as a footballer ; u are expected to host annual football tournaments in ur local area , buy jerseys, kits and boots and send them to ur local team regularly , u are expected to pay for traveling expenses of young players on ur local team for trials abroad in fact u are expected to buy a car or build at least 2 bedroom flat for ur youth coach . Nigerians do not care how u were able to survive life of penury and find ur way abroad with the help of ur immediate family members , all they care is what u will do for them out of ur good fortune .
This same scenario plays out in the music industry as well as other spheres of a Nigerian’s life .
Theflint1: True, there were very valid concerns about Buhari's health pre-2015 and we can see how everything played out eventually. Buhari was a lot stronger than the Tinubu of today and if with the money and access Tinubu has things he still looks this bad, I only wonder what him actually trying to function as an actual president would do to his health.
The last thing the country needs is another sick president and the rudderless government that would result from that, and the prospect of having Shettima as president is unappealing. Shettima talks recklessly, he's a bigot and he's against restructuring, we need a government that allows governance to spread further down, not one that's centre-strong.
I guess at the end of the day the most the people Can do is to make a statement about these things with their vote come 2023 at the polls. The least people like us can do is to make people know they are getting into before hand by bringing some of these things to the fore .
It doesn’t matter whether party men call one names that they themselves have borne in the past ( we look at those things and thruway face cos we know they are only standing with their principals to the detriment of the people ) , we will do our duty of putting these things out there and let the people make a decision in their good conscience .
Theflint1: True, the man was sound, sad that these days he's worse than Buhari of 2015, age wasn't kind on Tinubu.
Most of the people supporting him know this , but for reasons best known to them they choose to continue to Stan a visibly sick candidate .
Buhari was not even switching off in the middle of a speech/address in 2015. Buhari was not needing the the aid of 2 to 3 men standing close behind him to support him while making a less than 10 minutes speech/address in 2015…… yet we today we see the number of days he’s spent attending to his health while governance suffered .
People stanning him despite seeing his health condition live on TV really need to explain why they think a sick president is what Nigerians Need now after what we experienced with the late Yar Adua presidency and Buhari’s as well .
PS: I seek no joy in him being sick and unfit , most people who have septuagenarian as uncle , parent , close confidant or close relative will definitely know that age comes with a lot of physical, psychological and mental health challenge for that person .
raumdeuter: A newscaster or journalist should show some form of neutrality of even pretend. But here Abati just went out gun blazing like an opponent of Wike tackling him. Amaechi Magnus Abe would not have spoken more than this
This type of display puts to question his years in the industry and professionalism. Which is what younger colleagues in the industry like Rufai are also following
Hopefully if Atiku wins he can be the Femi Adesina for Atiku
If Atiku wins (which is very much unlikely ) , he will definitely get a ministerial appointment or at least the head of a juicy parastatal like dem NIMASA , NOA , etc . He’s definitely leaped the presidential spokesperson job .
Abati was right on Wike throwing tantrums and being immature after losing the primary . However , Abati is usually too emotional ; he forgets he’s no longer a PDP guy speaking for the party but a journalist people are expecting to have an unbiased opinion about issues .
I feel Abati gets carried away by his ego and how high he’s risen in the public space . It gets into his head . I remember him addressing a colleague on live TV to put some respek on his name few months ago cos that one kept on addressing him as “ Reuben Abati “ , he even asked if that one was at his naming ceremony ( or something like that )
I remember one time during Jonathan regime some people were calling themselves Ombatse militia in Nasarawa and dem say the Baba Alakyio get jazz like Fadeyi. When military carry better gun reach there na once them scatter.
Even Gani Adams before Igboho
I remember the Ombatse matter that year . Normally ehn, after God the next entity to fear na government ; especially government that believes in guns .
MorataFC: Wahala dey come if this should be approved!
"� The Premier League would like the recordings between the referees and the VAR to be released after each match, with the aim of maximizing transparency over the decisions taken!
The audios could even be broadcast on YouTube."
I hope this is true ; make we know who dey carry us play between the ref and VAR.
Why do Nigerians have this entitlement mentality ?
So the author of this post who claims to be modogg’s close pal expects wizkid to make modogg Multi-millionaire simply because wizkid used to record music in Modogg’s studio wayback ……. Nowhere did he mention modogg recording music for free ( I used to have friends who were upcoming musicians who would hustle on the streets only to pay for recording session with producers who own studios back then, so I know the struggle of upcoming artistes and how producers don’t record for free ) .
I wonder why he thinks Wizkid owes modogg a lifting hand .
E get reason why . Na so our ancestors dey use Dane gun do circus show till whitemen turn up for Benin empire with their revolver and machine guns …. . The rest they say is history .
The fact of the matter is that the charges brought against Tinubu by the FBI are very clear, detailed, and unambiguous. In the course of a sting operation, one Abiodun Agbele sold white heroin to an undercover FBI agent on November 28, 1990. Upon his arrest, he named one Mueez Akande as his drug boss. Upon investigation, it was revealed that funds from Mr. Akande’s white heroin drug cartel had found its way into Mr. Tinubu’s account and that they could not be justified by his legitimate income, then about $2400 a month.
That Bola Tinubu was found to have shared accommodation with the said Mr. Akande, who had been his known associate for years. And that rather than fight the charges of laundering money for a drug cartel, Bola Tinubu entered into a plea agreement with the US Federal Government to forfeit $460,000 in drug money to the government.
I no come know who bad pass for Nigeria between Tinubu and Atiku o
GloriousGbola: This is ironically the first thing people learn once they do nysc in the provinces. Once you are out of the city, you will meet the raw, undiluted tribalism on display. You may even see your supposedly mellow friends from school showing colour. Peer pressure and all that.
Who squared the youth corpers in 2011 from the mobs?
SeanK is a young person that has seen less of the evil Nigerians of the same color are capable of doing to each other...: Na why he dey think say racism should be a deterrent to people who want to seek greener pastures in the white man's land.
In Nigeria, I can go toe to toe with any opposition tribalist.. If a Yoruba man doesn't rent me his house, I put middle finger to the air in his fvcking face and nothing will happen.. but a black man has no edge or chance of fighting back let alone an immigrant.. rather you'd be told to go back to yori fvcking country
At least if I call you a dirty Yoruba, you can call me an Igbo yahoo boy and if we go dirty, we square it off knowing the odds and chances are 50-50
But take it like this, you walk into your office in UK or Germany, and your co worker a first class citizens calls you a monkey.. what would you do to fight back? Can you raise a fist on him/her or do you call her back a white goose? I guess you'd just go to the rest room and she'd tears..
Fvck that
There are HR policies against racism; anybody working in a formal environment knows u can't call ur fellow co-worker a monkey or any derogatory names without getting punished for it. At least u watch football and u see how some fans get banned from the stadium for life for racist abuse.
All u have said up there is just u grasping at straws that are not there. Blackmen are moving up the ladder in the western world, black men are becoming judges, ministers, parliamentarians, successful business men etc in places like Canada, UK, USA etc. This is not 1994, 1995 dem years of Tupac shakur and all..... u can make of whatever u want ur live to be in these modern times.
iamoyindamola: Jodera you see why I no they pity players, all of them are mercinaries That was how that mumu rvp lied that we didn't offer him extension how can arsenal not offer her best player extension, the werey no fit lie Fabregas too he used part of his money to force Barcelona move he now wanted to come back Nasri,hleb, Sanchez All these players regretted leaving because they were rubbish by the fans of the club they went to Rvp own shock me after winning the EPL with scummies they turned against him
Van Persie was practically chased out of man utd by Van Gaal his former national team coach
In Nigeria ur fellow Nigerian calls u “ọmọ Igbo oshi ","ofem--manu", "head slammer".... etc.
Some Yoruba landlords in Lagos don't even let out their house to Igbos because they have a preconceived notion about all Igbos ( based on one bitter experience in the past), Some Northerners won't even see a Yoruba Muslim as a "True Muslim" no matter the number of years u've lived with them and practise the same religion, Some igbos literally refer to all Yorubas as dirty ( the only Igbo lady in my class in the varsity did this all through our stay in school probably cos of the part of Lagos she grew up)....etc
All the aforementioned and more happens in Nigeria Ur own country . Anybody using racism as a reason not to Japa never talk wetin be him problem. Nigerians practise tribalism, eat, sleep and drink tribalism on a daily. Even on this thread u see tribalism in glaring view. Except u are saying there's nothing bad in being discriminated against in Ur own country but when the white man does it it's an issue.
Whoever Arteta chooses to Partner Gabriel in CB role, I won’t really have issues with him. As it stands both Saliba and White are good players; obviously one of them will get the gaffer’s nod but that party will constantly be under pressure knowing fully we’ll be can be easily replaced and May end up losing his place .
That’s the kind of competition we’ve been lacking for a while now .
