SportsRe: Ghana Vs Nigeria Football Friendly by Christino(m): 7:16am On Feb 07, 2007
@ Bolaoni

Why I cited Baggio was because that was the last match after which I cried for Nigeria. I did not eat anything for 6 days just water. I lost appetite and ever since then things went from bad to worse, like the Intercontinental game I remember us losing to Mexico and all whatnot (CAMPOS) then we were banned from the Nations Cup that killed our youth team, thanks to a lil bit of Atlanta.

But since that dying minute goal by Baggio, our footie (at the senior level) has crumbled. You will agree with me that that was the best team we ever had. Naija almost ruled the world but for one moment of brilliance when a single player takes the glory for 22 men.

I don't know why Nigerians are feeling bad about this loss, its expected. I told kit before the match that i'm being patriotic knowing fully well that the game can go either way. If those guys were at their best we all know 11 of Essien on pitch wouldn't save them. How far as Agogo gone in his career, can he even Match the Yak? Let's face it, e don shele!!!

@ Xopher,

Don't worry about that, FIFA President is also reaping the benefits of doing business with Nigeria. Friendlies alone can't bring Ghana into the top 10, no be by Essien playing fire!

And with Nigeria accounting for about a total of 30 premiership goals this season alone, whatever happened today sha! angry

I don't know, he's just a blast from the horrible dark past of Mozart and has been sent to the world to attack hip hop. Its unfortunate hip hop's peaceful nowadays, he should count himself lucky guns aint used no more at least just to sound shots of warning. He shoulda voiced out during the westcoast days, Beeth woulda rejected his sorry  ass in hell grin and to make it worse, he has a 0.06 GPA, how do we help that on nairaland, give him an award? tongue

@ David

THat justifies why they got to the world cup and your sorry peeps lost to Angola. Even if Amokachi, Yekini and Okwaraji returned to the team, they'd still be spanked heavily by Essien and co cos when it's time to mess up, we are experts! grin

I'm sure Angola will do a 1-0 repeat anyday anytime  grin


Ghana's back to winning ways.!!! Up GMG! Must Go!!!

Anyone with the full squad list?
SportsRe: Ghana Vs Nigeria Football Friendly by Christino(m): 12:16am On Feb 07, 2007
@ Davidylan

Are you saying it's the sports ministry's fault that those ass shakers lost? Remember the last time our senior team got so heavily spanked was against Denmark in 98.

Haba this is just a friendly, afterall, Brazil also lost to Portugal ke.

But the goal margin was just too much, how the heck did a misfiring Agogo get to score against us, can someone please release the team list. I didn't watch the match anyway, I hate it when the super eagles play. You just can't beat your chest they'll win cos they lose when you least expect it. I still remember the Day Ronaldinho inflicted a 3-0 defeat on their rich asses right in Aso Rock.

And please we have a better player than Essien, his name is Galadima Lulu. grin


Squad list please.

If this is all classical turns you into i'd rather stick with hardcore rap, been listening to it for over a decade and ain't been infected, but you look at what you doing to yourself and your school. You should be expelled! angry

3rd class means below 2.5/5 and without much explanation, that's below average.

Summa comes before magma, summa is the highest. Okay americans use the latin system anyway. But here, it's first, second 1 & 2 and third and pass and nothing!

I'm highly disappointed this thread is still on, is the dude bringing the Circus to Nairaland?

Glad you studied stuffs bout Classical, hope you go into it soonest. when you get broke, ask Alicia keys what she did with her study of classical Piano grin

And don't forget her[b] collabo with NAs, the Warrior Song[/b].

Like Eminem said: Limp Bizkit, NObody listen to Techno, but I won't say nobody listen to classical shocked

On my deathbed I had loads of those classical tracks, isht man, those songs take you straight to heaven, then one beautiful morning, i pushed those songs aside and reverted to my main man Tupac Shakur with "Life Goes On!" I ain't seen no classical track coming close to that!

And by the way Sharetroll,
Tell me, is RAP just about rhyming? then that's some acapella you are talking of, because 99.9% of RAP comes with a soundtrack and you can't tell me those soundtracks came from heaven, some of them, even originally classical like 'See you when you get there by COolio", see we need some quality classical tracks from your peeps so we can make platinum music sampling on those grin

And then to make it worse, my lil knowledge of classical, its just about sequencing and varying keys and tones and i can easily write a program (like 4 lines of code) and give you something that can match if not surpass all o' what Mozart did in his lifetime. Scattering the keyboard and playing pranks on Violin and you have the right to tell me Nas' I Can was not a masterpiece? (the soundtrack of course was classical sef)! You better wake up, Classical is DEAD!!! Hip hop's taking over, the earlier you realize the better for you else, you end up with elephants, snakes and apes in the circus!!! tongue

Telling me Bull ish RAP requires zero creativity then what the heck is classical without INSTRUMENTALS! shocked Ask Timbaland, Dre, P.Diddy and R.Kelly how they do it. OLODO!!!

Hope you also dress like Ludwig Van. . . grin grin grin

@ Topic,

What a sad way to end a stunning impressive cup run for the lil gunners.

Arsenal can go down as much as 4 - 1 in this match so don't be surprised, we all know gunners go into that game as underdogs (since Wenger claims he would stick with his youth team meaning Theo Walcott in Place of Henry and so on).
Arsenal did well, ousting Liverpool and Tottenham but Mourinho needs the cup more than the youths!

Verdict: Chelsea win (big goal margin)

@ Naijacutee

BTW, that's not just the way rappers dress, its the trend and that's what'z fashionable nowadays, even footballers and basketballers dress that way and you left their garages out, what bout the rides, the ferraris and jags, it's typical of RAPpers too cos in the time of Handel I guess the closest they had were paddle boats and Bicycles! grin

In the original days of classical, you know what was in vogue then, or do you expect Yanni to dress like that?

It is normal to see RAP as a violent form of music yet see metallic rock as a kind of music for nerds, vampires and what have you. And don't you forget, there's even Gospel RAP which is making so much waves that the Heavens are getting scared! That's to tell you that the golden era of Operas are gone. Music doesn't die anyway but unlike fashion, recycling is the in-thing, we call it sampling.

Music/RadioRe: Classical Music Is Better Than Rap by Christino(m): 10:02pm On Feb 04, 2007
I don't want to start a thread where i'll be the last poster. lipsrsealed

@ all those who know nothing about rap music, better click unsubscribe angry

Laymanly speaking,
Music is a form of expressing oneself. It is the addition of tones to poetry, in whichever form, that implies Acapella and when you add musical instruments to it, you have all the other typo genres.

No doubt classical is one of the best forms of music, and for God's sake it's as OLD AS HELL! RAP itself is just too young, a lil above 20 years so the basis for comparison itself is as flawed as the originator! And I hope this time next week, he won't start by saying Classical OR Reggae and that Rastas are dirty people who only smoke Ganja and can't speak good english and bla bla bla. . .

When you think Music, You think Handel, Mozart, Beethoveens and what have you. They invented one or two things in their fields and basically they played the piano, i guess in their time there was nothing like electric guitars. Nowadays the king of such music is arguably Carlos Santana and unfortunately for you, he loves Rap.

If Mozart was alive today, he woulda done a track with NAS!

And whoever said rap was all about name calling should go suck his dog's d*ck!

Blacks devised a way to express their views, thoughts and grief and found a soulmate in RAP. RAP brought poetic freedom. Listen to tracks like:

Changes - Tupac
Change the world - BTNH  (Someone said rap was too fast to hear what they were saying. The world's fastest group meant good all through and you need to listen good to hear what they were rapping about)
Where is the love - Black Eyed Peas (Yes there was a good rap verse there so don't even say that was no rap)
I Can - Nas

I can go on and on if you need a list of sensible rap. Some RAP are educative, informative and revealing. Just like Afrobeat was used to openly criticize the government and speak for the Masses (Fela's lifestyle wasn't better than my fellow rappers okay?) so was RAP used in the US of A. And for God's sake RAP did not invent name calling, ice and tatoos and all whatnot that some peeps are attaching to it, they've been on ground for as long as man can remember and who are the rappers? (mostly people who grew up in the projects or ghettos, how else would they express their poetry than in their common, every day language, here in Naija, it's pidgin/pigeon English!)

I can give you equivalents of your classical gods. In the likes of RAKIM, KRS-1,Pac, Nas, BIG dudes can match the legacies of your classical peeps. DOn't get me wrong i have nothing against classical music, infact i love classical tracks (depending on my mood of course) but bringing up Classical Vs Rap leaves much to be desired. Classical has been here for years and RAP is here to stay, by the time RAP lives as long as Classical has today, you should see more than enough improvement. In our parents' time there was classical and later, country so it's understandable they don't care about hip hop, just like in the next 50 years, there'll be more RAP lovers than Classical! For God's sake is classical singalongable? I doubt!

At all those who think RAP is for mediocres, i pity your reasoning ability. I can imagine what parties woulda looked like today if all we had were boring shocked Classical/Opera tracks out there. Imagine 50 cent doing Hallelujah! Clowns'll never cease to show up on Nairaland sha grin

P.S: I saw this thread 2 days ago and was like what kind of topic is this ish, all these attention seekers at it again, I was surprised to see it on the home page. grin
