This is how D'Banj should have done it, no be to dey fly around for Kanye Video (not hating). My Igbo brothers sabi business well, song is cool, though they put Rick Ross towards the end, they got me anticipating too much, cool though.

Thanks So much! i got ur number, i'll holla at u if i run into trouble, though i have my blackberry map, which is always very helpful when i'm in a new environment. Since u said there's a hotel very close to Tafo arena, i'll probably stick to that one. Thanks again.

The safety of corps members has become a big issue, especially in some parts of the country. How are you managing the posting to such areas?

We have introduced some elements of martial arts training in our orientation programme, targeted primarily at our female corps members. Prior to my coming on board, we had issues of female corps members being molested by okada riders, some by the traditional rulers.

The thinking is that if these young ladies have some forms of self- defence training, they would be able to say no in more ways than one. The main aim is to give these young ladies a fighting chance so that they would be able to defend themselves before the deed is done. They will probably not be helpless victims, but able to fight for themselves rather than crying for help.

At the just-concluded orientation for Batch ‘A’ 2012, I was actually amazed at the positive response to martial art training for the female corps members. It was interesting to see some level of enthusiasm witnessed and we are building on it./[/quote] If you see the rubbish martial arts we were thought in kaduna eh! u'd wonder if its a kid we're gonna be defending ourselves against. almost as if the tutor watched a chinese movie and was practicing with us...bullshit smh!

NRI PRIEST: Thank you!! I dont want them to divide my lovely state!!! Please leave Anambra the way it is!!

I also don't want them to divide my state, Anambra. But if there'll be state creation in the south east, it'll most likely affect Anambra no doubt.

Guys! I just got my may allowee o! these guys tried, this is how it ought to be. I'm serving in kaduna, my nysc acct is with ecobank. My bro that uses fidelity has gotten sha.

Please UNILAG/MAU students should go back to their hostels o! Before you know it, thugs will hijack this protest which i'm sure isn't coordinated and innocent girls will be raped, people will be robbed, injured and the police will start shooting at people and later claim they shot in the air. Its just a name change after four or five years you go waka leave am. i graduated from Nnamdi Azikiwe university, which people refer to as UNIZIK, its just a name change to honor someone who deserved it, the 'UNILAG' name cannot be removed from our minds. A word they say is enough...

The recent comments are beginning to make me laugh, OP, u even have time to reply them dumb questions LMAO! i admire ur courage, nairaland is filled with crazy people sha.

i weep for naija sha, seems like naija has been cursed with bad leadership from the get go. And GEj who certainly is not the cause of these problems, ain't doing much. He looks like a tired and clueless old man. Dunno who will lead us to the promise land...but its certainly not all these old cargo that are seeking to be re-elected. #Godhelpnaija

fluid26: are u a graduate? If yes, den u don't sound like one. Would u hang urself if u come across students with OUTSTANDING cgpa's of 4.6, 4.8 or even 4.9? Why should she resit for a useless course without grade unit??!! Imagine! It's just like retaking AfriHUB exam if u initially made an ''F''. Mstcheeew! Nonsense!! That's one problem with all dese stoopid private schools, dey always tend to overreach demselves.

Dude! Anyone that failed Afrihub (i know its not afrihub that we're talking about) and has a 4.3gpa certainly should be questioned about their result. i graduated with a 3.8 and had an A in afrihub exam, its bloody cheap, a secondary school student that has a computer will pass that exam, #justsaying.
i dunno how this new horizon cert exam is, wat i did in skool was afrihub, but if they're so similar, then i see no reason why a 4.3 CGPA student should fail it, unless she was ill. A computer science student. For that matter!
@OP if that's the school policy, its sad and they probably wanna make more money off their students, but tell ur sis to square her shoulders and write the exam. But i hope she was being totally honest with you though.

i think i blame you OP, u obviously let this get to this level. If u had cautioned him from the first day he made such remarks, and again and made him know u were pissed, it wouldn't have continued, u probably usually told him off lightly. i think that's really disrespectful of him and u should call him to order, if he doesn't stop, tell him he's not welcome at ur place anymore and mean it. You guys can still hangout but not at ur place. #my2cents

Davido! why did you have to change the tune of the song from the former one which u claimed leaked. That other one was on point, you shoulda left it that way, this one issokay sha but i prefer the other version of Ekuro #my2cents

Kesmakveli: here in unizik,awka we have 6six bankz namely; first bank, uba, entreprize bank, diamond bank, zenith bank, access bank, and fidelity bank. And all d atms are working v.5ne. sm bankz even have 3 to 4atms ..

Great Giants!! i graduated last year from UNIZIK, proud of my school!
Those banks make a lot of money from students o!

Ecobank just sent mine, i'm serving in kaduna. my bro who's also serving and uses fidelity bank received his alert since monday. yeye dey smell.

This topic sha... Aren't we tired of flogging this proverbial dead horse Its rotting already sef. Moderators should refer people who asks these questions to recent posts on this, #my2cents. Anyways, Airtel and Glo are the best and believe me i've used all four GSM networks with 3G, Airtel is the fastest, then Glo, Can't tell between Etisalat and MTN, maybe Etisalat, though i think they're both slightly the same in terms of speed. But Airtel?? Blazing!

nitrogen: @ all, i had a chat some weeks ago with with a friend that was a set ahead of me in the university, after all the 'long time, no see' stuff, the remaining part of the conversation went this way:
Nitrogen: how service nw, hope u dey enjoy that place?
Friend: nitro, forget, i don ja o( am nt serving again)
Nitro: why? Cos of the insecurity saga in that place or what?
Friend: no, am out of the country doing my masters.
Nitro: what?? You left nysc for masters?
Friend: dnt dull yourself o,,,,,,,

After the conversation, then i got myself into a slight pondering, 'how on earth could a fellow in his late 20s abandone nysc program because he got a chance to further his studies abroad'. But later, i generalized it that everybody has got his or her own way and the level of risk that can be taken by individuals differ.


But seriously, do you share in this wonderful evolving theory?? That even the only programme (nysc) that helps give experience (although sparingly) is neglected by recent graduates in the name of getting a scholarship in an average university abroad for further studies, to me, i think it is crazy.

Huh? Are u for real? Tell me the experience i'm getting in. Going to buy razor, recharge card or bubble gum for my boss and the lazy old women in the polytechnic where i'm posted Or in rearranging files or in typing documents once in a while? Or by sitting down and doing nothing?? Since government decided to post us to schools (i'm a Batch A Corp Member). If i have an opportunity to leave and go abroad now, i'll gladly do so. And come back on passing out day to collect my discharge certificate. As it is right now sef, i've made plans to travel to another state to get a job, i'll be going back every three months for clearance. No time o! NYSC is now total Bullshit.

Raphtop: Kaduna state copers have started recieving payment. A frnd had just recieved, though i'm yet 2 c alart but am sure there is money in d act.

Dude! Wat bank does your friend use, cos i'm in kaduna and i haven't gotten any alert. i actually never believed the MOFOS, i hope they pay April and May together...blessed is the man who expects nothing, he shall never be disappointed.

Is there really anything this lady can't do? Ah ahn! Save some for us Bey!
Beyonce won the NYABJ's journalism award for
her article "Eat, Play, Love."
The talented singer won a journalism award from
the New York Association of Black Journalists
(NYABJ) for her article "Eat, Play, Love," which
was published in Essence magazine's July 2011
edition. The article focused on Beyonce's newborn
daughter Blue Ivy and how she planned on taking
a break from her career to focus on her baby girl
and husband.
Due to Beyonce's fame and modest background,
criticism towards her award was inevitable. Many
argue that since she has not even graduated high
school and somehow magically obtained the
talent to write award-winning literature, her
winning this award probably has something to do
with her being, well, Beyonce. However, NYABJ
president Michael Feeney defended her by saying
"I believe it was selected on content and the
writing and not on her celebrity" in an interview
with The Root. We totally believe you, Feeney.
There are also rumors spinning that the only
reason Essence magazine even published the
article was because its sales were dropping. Well,
having Beyonce's name in fine print on an article
of Essence magazine would make its sales go up,
so this was indeed a smart move on their part.
However, many writers who have worked hard for
years and dedicated insane amounts of time to
researching, interviewing and writing just to get
their five seconds of fame are livid towards
Beyonce for receiving this award. "These types of
awards overlook the real journalists who write
about insightful and sometimes dangerous topics.
Beyonce wrote an article about a 9-month
vacation," said Mused writer Amber Rose, in an
interview with The Root.
Regardless, whether Beyonce wins an award for
journalism or is elected for presidency, she will
always be Beyonce, and America will always be
slightly obsessed with her.

Babzilla: I still think Ur mother was right.

She was right as per education being important of course; i'm a uni graduate today with good results, good job propsect too. But you know wat? Music is still my passion and if i had been exposed earlier, i'm pretty sure i' D̶̲̥̅̊ have gone farther than where i am today. #justsaying

i've also wondered the same. Though most of the kids i see acting on TV aren't sharp, sorry to say, they're dull, no emotion whatsoever. Go watch that lil kid Jamie on 'One Tree Hill' now that's one sharp kid actor. Also, the one that can do it, may not know anyone to put them out there. Parents also are a big problem, i remember wen i was 12 and i told my Mom that i wanted to enroll in the church's keyboard training classes. She was like, wat would i do with that? That i don't need it Bla Bla Bla Bla...School school school, today in my early twenties; i learnt to play the guitar back in the uni and i've made lots of money from music, even though i'm still serving. If only i had learnt the Keyboard then, i would have gone far musically. Parents should learn to encourage their Children in whatever field they indicate interest. If its entertainment; give them the best in lessons and they'll excel...won't stop them from going to school. If its sports' provide all they need...some of the people that control millions in the world today are entertainers and sportsmen.

1Dray: Hmmm... Its not funny sha. I've not bn paid since Nov. last year dt I relocated to Abj till nw. I remembered bn paid as early as 23rd of every month in back Gombe. Coming to Abj. I noticed trend... Bn paid for a particular month, 15th of the next month. Most of u r raining abuses on GEJ and the FG, when u shud be raining it on ur State NYSC coordinators that r using our Allowie dt had already bn paid by the FG, to get interest in their fixed accs. Down in the North East they r paid in time by the State coordinator so as to make their corps members comfortable as not to lose them to relocation, as many keep applying for relocation due to d Boko haram and Kalare boys syndrome prevalent in Gombe nd d North East. I must tell u dt some state coordinators r so wicked, selfish and corrupt. They dont seem to bother how d corps members feel, all they bother abt is their pocket and their family. But am assuring them that nemesis will sure catch up wt them. Someday its would be their turn... Someday they will be old, tired nd retired, waiting to recieve their pension, then nemesis would show its face. I weep whenever I enter the Data office in Zone 5 and see d number of letters 4 unpaid allowance dt has bn abandoned by the official wt d plan and hope of eating d allowance of these poor corps members. For me I refuse dt my 7months allowies be eaten by them. Come June, its either they pay me every single kobo they are owing me as they promised or they will be in for trouble. I refuse to labour and my sweat be eaten by some bunch of greedy and corrupt NYSC officials. On June 14 I wait...

Dude! i dunno how true this is, but i heard that once u apply for relocation and eventually relocate that you must have payment of allowee issues, you're like the fourth person i know that relocated and haven't received their allowee since relocating to the new state. *sighs* NYSC sha!

Chai! Me wey be batch A, i can't even dream of Passing out, 9 crazy months left! i hate NYSC! In Kaduna, no one has been paid, see guys eyes dey red. Kaduna Poly that pays 7k sef for accomodation and transport hasn't paid. Landlord for never pursue person? Its well.

Does this mean there won't be any more collaborations? Just days after Rihanna wished her ex, Chris Brown, a happy birthday via Twitter, the two are now no longer following each other. So what happened? Well, when Brown released a freestyle version of Kanye West's "Way Too Cold" (formerly " Theraflu" last night, he could be heard rapping, " Don't f--k with my old bitch/It's like a bad fur/Every industry n---a done had her/Shook the tree like a pumpkin just to smash her/Bitch is breaking codes, but I'm the password." Speculation quickly began to run rampant that Brown was referring to Rihanna, who may very well have thought the same thing seeing how she immediately unfollowed him and tweeted "Aw, poor dat #neaux1currr," which apparently means "no one cares". Soon after, Brown himself stopped following Rihanna, as well as tweeting out the following regarding the rumors: "Assumptions! I didn't say any names so if u took offense to it then it's something you feel guilty about." All of this comes less than three months after the two joined forces on remixes of each other's songs.

Since Don Jazzy announced the rebranded Mohits, now Mavin Records, the social networks have been buzzing nonstop. On Twitter; Mavin, Don Jazzy, Tiwa Savage, Wande Coal, Dr Sid and D’Prince have all constantly trended and are the hot topics that everyone is talking about. We all know about the differences between D’Banj and Don Jazzy that lead to the birth of Mavin records, so I’m not gonna talk about that.

First off, let me say that ‘Don Baba Jay’ as he is fondly called is a proper businessperson. He sure knows his onions and used this whole media buzz about the Mohits break up to come up with a Label that is super cool. Tiwa Savage’s entry to Mavin is the best decision Don Jazzy could have taken. She is the female Pop Diva of the moment that I am sure has a lot to offer, this is one decision Don Jazzy will not regret.
Who Will Take D’Banj’s Place? Who Will Bring In The Big Bucks? Wande? Dr Sid? D’Prince?
I am not gonna include Tiwa here because she’s kinda in her own class and has her own appeal. Before I answer that question, let’s review the entire songs in the Solar Plexus Album. Please this review is my personal opinion and I am scoring each artiste out of a possible 100%. I must also add that I’m not giving anyone 100% percent not because they don’t deserve it (these guys are our stars), I do this because no song can be said to be 100%, there’s always something that’s wanting, plus I’m a critic (yeah I said it, lol). When I was in the university, 70% meant an automatic A, while 60-69% was a B…and so on… Therefore, here is my review of the songs.
I’m A Mavin by Mavin:
I’m not gonna say much about this song since its kinda like an anthem. However, I think that it’s a cool song and all the artistes did well on the track. The song is an effizzy song that talks about Mavin. Wande Coal stood out in the song and I’m probably sure that a video will be shot for this song. Download: http:///cwdrq8g


Omaga by Tiwa Savage:
I must say that the woman on this song, Naija’s pop diva is a good singer. But on this song, Tiwa took a different style (shows her versatility tough). This is not the Tiwa we know from ‘Kele Kele Love’, ‘Love me’ or even ‘Without My Heart’ featuring Don Jazzy. She sounds extremely Naijaish (Which is not a bad thing, but we do not know her with the style). However, I like the song but I think I’d take the former Tiwa with the sultry voice that could make a guy go…(add what you like) over this Tiwa. Anyway, I must give her kudos because the delivery of the song was very much on point, too much Yoruba though. Overall, Tiwa gets 60% for this song. Download: http:///897zwry
Yolo by Dr. Sid:
Oh! I like this song a lot, it’s so on point. Great sound, its already sticking to my head. Dr Sid has continued to give us hits from ‘Over the Moon’, ‘Something About You’, ‘Bamijo’ and now… ‘Yolo’. This song will surely get you on your feet. Dr Sid Kudos, you get 70%. Download: http:///7doblk6
Take Banana by D’Prince:
Omoba also did good on this song, though the song sounds like most Naija songs and I kinda found it difficult to make sense of the song, so I’ll just bump to the beat thank you. Omoba gets 50%. Download: http:///6srj2h3
See Me Ri by Wande Coal:
Now this is the Wande coal we all used to know, not the ‘Private Trips’ wande, nice song, even though he was taking a hit at his haters in the song, me still thinks it’s a cool song. Is it just me or is there a Timaya vibe somewhere in that song? I give this song 60% Download: http:///6qg489y
CPR by Dr. Sid:
Yay! Finally, a techno laced song. Dr Sid you too much, thank you. I like this song, it makes a lot of sense and the content is on point. If you’ve got a good sound system, bump this and you’d think you’re at a club in the London. I wanna say 70% but I’ll say 67%. Good one. Download: http:///79qq4l9
Forever by Wande Coal:
Ok this song is a bit similar to CPR by Dr. sid, but I like it too. Lyrics are cool, vocals are ok too, but I must point out that the auto tune was a bit over the top. Dunno how the people that are used to Wande’s other songs will take this, but me? I like. 63% Download:http:///csyu4gb
Why You Over There by D’Prince:
I am not feeling this song o! All I hear is “Why you over there”, “all I wanna see is a yansh” and “Kondo” (If you don’t know what yansh and kondo means…better not to know). This song is a typical Naija song that doesn’t make sense lyrically. I sha kinda liked the delivery of the verse…just a weeny bit. 45% Download: http:///6oekme2
Chocolate by Dr. Sid:
Nice song, cool…not the party jam type you know. I must say that I like the harmony in the song. Not much to say here so… 60%. Download: http:///d5l95b6
Pretty Girls by Wande Coal:
Don Baba Jay really did well on all these songs o! This is a nice song, but really, its forgettable. I’m not gonna wake up tomorrow and remember this song (I’m gonna remember Yolo by Dr. Sid though). Good song nonetheless. 60% Download: http:///bw9knpe
Amarachi By D’prince:
The title alone and knowing what Don Jazzy can do to an igbo song got me anticipating to press play. Oh! The beat is cray (that’s how they say it abi?)…so on point. Chai! I miss D’banj sha, he would have totally killed this song… think ‘Igwe by D’banj’. Anyways D”prince did well, though I couldn’t hear clearly some of what he was saying but this is nice and will definitely be loved by the dudes from the South East. 67% Download: http:///cnudovy
Conclusion:
After constantly repeating these songs, head don dey pain me. Nevertheless, I have to give props to the Mavin crew, in all, she’s a nice album (lol), I enjoyed listening to this. After listening, I think it’s between Dr Sid and Wande coal. But Judging by the songs, Dr Sid is my pick, though Wande Coal kinda has a larger fanbase. What do you guys think?

Hey guys! Last week i came to realize that i was always tweeting gists to lindaikeji on twitter(some of which she never puts up by the way). So i got thinking that wat if i start my own blog? Its not like i'm expecting to start making millions like Linda Ikeji but do it for the fact that i like to be informed about wat is happening around me and if money comes fine.
Blogging is something you can do from anywhere once you have an internet connection (and as i've recently come to learn, i can update my blog via email direct from my blackberry smart phone). So i set out to start up my blog. First off, i needed to know wat audience i was to meet. i didn't just want to have a sports blog, entertainment or music blog, i wanted something all encompassing. So it hit me, and i keyed in the name of my potential blog, but alas, it had been taken. After several minutes of trial and error, i finally got a name that was actually all encompassing. A topic that would let me blog about anything i wished.

Next was to set up my google adsense and google adwords account, which pays you some minute change when someone visits your blog. And as your blog grows, you can then start getting adverts and uploading them to your site. Blogging is actually kinda fun (Mind you i'm kinda jobless...i'm a youth corp member), so i have the time, even though i still have some other stuff to do by the side. So give it a trial, its really easy to start up.
Here's my blog by the way http://anygistnaija..com for some of the latest gists you won't even find on linda's. Drop a comment *wink*

Brand New BB Torch is about 58k at Slot in Nigeria. Torch 2 goes for 68, to the dude that bought for 65k , dem chop you! Except if its white!

My Airtel is super fast in kaduna, i used to think that glo was the bomb, but airtel is the ish right now. The way it streams videos ehn! Its so on point!

i like this! Really cool! But 7k is too much. Reduce your price and i'll buy one for my blackberry.

Meritgoal: @ poster my simple advice for you is just this! * Do not put all your eggs in a basket, you can buy a concrete mixer and give it out for rentage to building contractors ,0ne should be arround #220,000-#250,000 but you need to be sure of the availability of the users. You can actually make #10,000-#15,000 on a daily bases for the agreed period with the user. And you can take your time, to think of another good way of investing the remaining money.

i've heard about this biz, and it should be lucrative with the huge number of sites in abj. But u must have someone that will go with it to wherever it is rented and monitor the attendant, so ur machine doesn't break down on time. All the best. Like someone said, 1.5m isn't so large. It won't even get u a decent 2bedroom in maitama (i've worked and lived in abj). So be wise. Wat about getting anoda job? Or u can do estate agency business all u need is contacts.
