KINGinVAHALA2: Hehehehehehe, I totally would agree with you. Though their attitudes is nothing diff from an average Nigerian who start seeing his/herself as a mini god when presented with an opportunity that seem a little above others.
I feel there re lot of things happening behind the scene on nairaland, e.g some monikers representing some persons and inturn paying nairaland for them and their treads/topics/comments to be treated well above others.
I surely would inform you when I'm ready for mine. I feel you are very intelligent with vast knowledge both in business and otherwise.
So sweet, in future, I surely would need your knowledge, intelligence and heart both in Business and in Kind. *wink*
Lol, biko let me have proven myself before you think I'm a business savant . I appreciate the vote of confidence in my knowledge
I am open to opportunity however, as I have said, I look forward to needing your services in future.
How convenient for such an article to be published just before Buhari enters the US where they hope to strong-arm him into devaluing the Naira. I do not like Buhari, what he stands for and how he handles Nigeria's internal affairs but I am completely for his stance on not devaluing the currency.
He should take care not to flop on the one thing he has done right so far.
KINGinVAHALA2: Yeah, the politics section I must also admit is worst. the mods over there re so bias and also maybe full of hates. Over there, they select whose moniker they ban and don't ever ban some other monikers no matter how derogatory their comments seem.
Till this very moment, I still find it appalling how someone would insult the person of the president and he/she would be spared by these mods but ban you if you dare reply these persons with the kinda words that isn't suitable for humans.
And to the religion aspect, I feel they do it because talking about Christians and Christianity pays more and better than other religions. Its all for the business you know, but so bad that the mods are doing and over doing it at the detriments of its registered members whom re supposed to be the most important to nairaland.
Anyways, I feel stating it isn't enough. you should table it to seun's if you care, but for me, I don't care what the mods here do.
Good morning too sweet, hope you had a blissful night?
Seun is not ignorant to the gross misconduct and selectivism of his mods, to think so is to underestimate his intelligence. I don't care about being banned from nairaland as I am not an active or famous enough person here to care. That's generally what they do to those who tell the truth rather than to those who are continuously spreading hate and intolerance. So telling Seun how I feel doesn't move me, I just feel it would be wasted energy as he clearly knows the agenda being perpetrated by his staff. Who knows if he is even the puppet master sef.
I just await a better, popular forum that is truly an open forum. No blatant tribal/religous bias. A "nairaland" 2.0 without the seedy and gratuitous tribal e-wars. Ya feel me?
KINGinVAHALA2: Hehehehe, and I thought I was the only one who has noticed such. some of the mods here re nothing but bias.
Lol, yeah, I did summoned you. when a tread with such topic is created, the only being that pop off my mind is certainly you, and I had to mention your moniker just to let you know that, indeed a fellow nairalander is busy watching over you.
Good morning sweet!
Yes, those mods are the ones policing the politics thread. Also, whomever is responsible for promoting front page topics on Friday and Sunday. When it's the muslim's holy day of the week, there's nothing but flattering and holy threads promoted to the front page. But once Sunday hits, you see mostly threads about false prophets, why it's a bad idea to pay tithes, which pastor is driving the latest Rolls Royce etc.
KINGinVAHALA2: Looking at nairaland from afar, you would think its just like every other sites. But its very deep I must say. So I would say I'm on nairaland to study the concept of it and I would deactivate when I'm through with my study of this wonderful and vast site, and that is gonna be very soon.
I have been able to pinpoint one, two or more things that I feel is missing, and that I'm gonna add to mine when the time comes.
Certainly get rid of the trend nairaland has of employing tribal/severely biased mods. Couldn't help but to add my two kobo . Besides, you did summon me once again...
If you're wondering what that whitish stuff on the jollof rice is, it's mayonnaise. It makes the rice taste as if there's salad in it. I don teach una new style. Lol.
You people should just better say "John, thank you. Enjoy yourself!" because I can't feed fifty-something Nigerian mouths with this my small plate of rice anyway. Lol. Or there's another solution. I can give you guys one mbembe each. Mbembe is what we call the velvet tamarind (Didn't even know it had an English name. I learnt it on Nairaland last week. Lol) icheleku (Igbo), awin (yoruba), licky licky (pidgin) here in Amurri.
I wish all of you a happy Easter holiday in advance.
Happy Easter dear, hope you enjoy the season well well
idrisalomagold: I don't think there is any other musician as bold as Fela again.
To be frank, I don't think many of our current musicians care about much beyond popping bottles. The pure artistry that Fela had...
But who cares about making music for the ages any more? I cannot see myself playing "shakiti bobo" in 30 years time. The current crop of musicians are so short-sighted and don't care about legacy.
iokpebholo: Now that's classic from fela himself.he was vigorous against this same animal in d 80s but some zombies voted him back and even called him saint due to their hatred for Jonathan. In other news I bought fuel 160 yesterday ,dnt have light since one week.
Suffering and smiling. I can't even imagine the inconvenience. Inconvenience is even an understatement.
I wonder, did people start calling the zombies "zombies" after Fela's song or just based off of the similarities of their reasoning to an actual zombie? Who even started that phrase?
rhymaster: Yes, you can criticize an 8 month old government if you were dead during the past 16 years the PDP government raped and destroyed Nigeria looting several trillions of dollars! Even Fela would have no song to describe the PDP and ineffectual baboonfoon called Jonathan who singlehandedly looted $20 B dollar in one move and claimed that America will know if he stole that much money from Nigeria's coffers since it is America's money? Can you see the sense of a Ph. D? Even Fela cannot sing animal sense for that kind of problem or people! For the first time, he will run out of words or music to describe the same PDP and Jonazero of a president!
Buhari is spending all his life and energy trying to fix the problems that PDP created, Jona alone ran Nigeria into > $ 30 B debt when oil was trading well over $120 per barrel and depleted the foreign reserves and excess crude accounts to record lows after Obasanjo paid of the Paris club debt, left virtually no debt. Yet Jonathan, the god of these little kids or adults-like kids blew $60 B down to < $30 B! What kind of song will Fela sing for Jona?
PDP lost. Jona lost. Now the bitter seccesionists can cry until they are blue in the face, but they cheered on while billions of dollars grew wings and disappeared in 16 years!
Please do not bring that nonsense you wrote in your last sentence into my thread.
If you want to talk, talk. If you want to take this conversation into a tribal route, I will not engage you. I do not play that game, especially when the conversation is on my terms.
SleekMallam: From the first coming of Buhari till now no changes. He keeps repeating same things and expecting a different result. only a man that fails to update himself does such.
I read this comment made by a youtuber in the comment section to Fela's "Coffin for Head of State":
What Fela was describing is still the unfortunate situation we have in Nigeria and most of the African countries. We understand religions upside down. Religion is one of our biggest problems. We are so godly without conscience. Government is still budgeting huge amount of money to sponsor people to Mecca and Jerusalem while women die during delivery and children die of hunger. But only we Africans understand these things. Its blasphemous but (un)fortunately the real truth. Our politicians and leaders steal all our money and they are afraid of going to hell they send relatives to Mecca and Jerusalem and pray. Fela was right. And what he was describing has hardly changed. We just recently managed to vote out a government in Nigeria which was ran by jet-flying pastors.
I am pained. Anyone who calls themselves a fan of Fela or even dares to play/dance to his music whilst having voted APC, may God visit them with redeeming deliverance. I wanted to say something stronger but then had to calm my anger and remember the God in me.
What those zombie supporters don't understand is that it's only a TRUE patriot that will see what is happening to/in their motherland and be consumed by rage. Zombies and other political sycophants are never patriots. You cannot put caustic and deadly political affiliations before the interest of your so-called country if you truly love her.
peacengine: @Bre,it seems we are on a merry- go-round here, the same issues Fela sang about are the same struggles we are dealing with today and may be our children will go through it too.
When pastors tell those prayer warriors to pray against every chain, every ancestral curse, they need to say a few "FIREEEE, FIREEEE" submissions for Nigeria because it's not funny again. It was never funny. It's even more serious when the current generation voted for the same suffering and smiling of our parents.
TheBiafran: NO BE THERE BUNARI DEY O? mehn bubu na big fuckup since forever give bubu 20 years to rule the zoo, he would still be confused
The great Fela called out Buhari 30 years ago for the same nonsense he is still doing today! In a whole new century! Yet "we" still used open eye to vote him in again. How can anyone call themselves a fan of Fela and vote Buhari? Crase full every where for Naijiria
SleekMallam: Poor man dey suffer suffer gbosa gbosa gun shots in the air. Idris needs to rattle Mr Buhari joor!
Did you see what Fela said?
My people are useless, my people are senseless, my people are indiscipline Na Nigerian government, ee-oh Dem dey talk be dat My people are useless, my people are senseless, my people are indiscipline I never hear dat before oh Make government talk, ee-oh
Was Buhari not just travelling the world the other day de-marketing Nigeria with his bad mouth? At least Idris is still alive. He can add another presidential beef to his repertoire!
SleekMallam: I think current realities is charged enough for him to receive creative inspiration from the cosmic universe. Nigeria is currently beyond jaga jaja.
Nigeria jaga jaga, everything scatter scatter; when we have beasts of no nation ruling
munchi: have read it.... making whole lot of sense..
outside nd inside world.... he just said our primary problems in a nut shell Nigeria has been bleeped since 80 s
team fella..
He was and will forever be a true Nigerian. Imagine, despite knowing better, Nigeria still has the same problems. Those same problems also being caused by the same old men. Na wa...
Well considering that is the point of my post... If you do - especially if you're familiar with the song - you'd appreciate just how relevant his words are in today's political landscape as it were in the 80's.
Or equally just focus on the places where I had highlighted the lyrics in bold font.
Biko, Fela Kuti's genius will never cease to amaze me. Till today, a song that's nearly as old as I am contains every single issue that was present then, now!
Has anything really changed?

I don't profess to know it all but I would be happy to advise you in any way I can
Cosbyrich: If you know Yoruba properly,we hate violence especialy perpetrated on our neighbours...igbos...hausas...ijaws..etc but we engage ourselves in wars occasionally with casualities on both sides...we are warriors and it is in the blood.Read the history of the Yorubas and the escapades of officers of yoruba stock in the civil war and you would know that we have nothing to prove.I am a young man and I have asked elders why we don't act quickly violencewise and the reply made me once more be proud to be a Yoruba boy.I still say that there is no tribe in Nigeria that can face Yoruba in warfare.One particular lesson has been learnt in this recent fracas.Yoruba miscreants killed some hausas and instead of facing them,the cowards went to burn houses of innocent people.If these people were not vigilant,there would have been lots of deaths.THIS IS SAVAGERY.REMEMBER-YIYO EKUN TOJO KO. A TIGER HAD NEVER SHOUTED ITS TIGRITUDE YET IT IS AS FATAL AS THE LION...
I like you. Sensible, cool-headed. Great response and the only Yoruba response, so far, that makes sense concerning this situation. Actually facing the situation rather than looking for any random way to bring Igbos into this.
But it is disgraceful how a lot of your people carry on on this forum. What happened is sad, why is no one focusing on the lives and property lost? Rather, all the seemingly Yoruba posters before you are all trying to pick fights with eastern posters?
ipain: hello, are you the author of this masterpiece? I would like to tap into the African at as that seems less competition in that angle--that is buy them for less and sell them for much higher prices.
I am also looking at partnering with a local Leonardo Da Vinci, the kind that would make a drawing that looks like it was taken by a photographic camera, no exaggerations. The dude is that good and a rare breed of genius.
So,is it possible to export these arts while being paid in dollars right here in Nigeria? Could I get buyers who would want them, send me money to my Nigerian bank account while I just ship and export the arts to them?
Please let me know. Thanks
The African arts scene is growing. There is definite potential. You will always find willing buyers in Western countries, the article made mention of a very high value collection that had been recently sold.
As an art fan, I thoroughly enjoy the beauty of it but do not know so much about the business side - that I am sure you are more than capable of putting your hands to.
There are many exhibits in Lagos you can attend. Go to all the exhibits, become a regular in that scene, build contacts... there are many individuals you can follow on social media to get you into that circle. These are the best ways I would personally use to enter such a business. All the best
