Clearly, you no nothing about music. Which artiste has more albums than 9ice? Not even 2baba, D'banj or Psquare? 9ice has dropped 7 albums, about to drop his eighth. Apart from D'banj, which of Don Jazzy's artiste has won the MOBO?
Years of relevance? Lemme tell you something, not one can sit on the throne forever. When 9ice beat Asa, Psquare and D'banj to win the MOBO is 2008, where were you? Where were other artistes when 9ice was called upon as the African artiste to perform at Nelson Mandela's birthday. Which album is more successful than Gongo Aso in Nigerian pop industry. You had better go and learn.

can you mentioned the 7 albums if you don't mind.?
and how relevant they were?
do you know the meaning of "legend?"
someone that hasn't been consistent for up to ten yrs, you are calling a legend?
forget about what Forbs said... what does your dictionary say about " legend? " and juxtapose 9ice 's status.

thiagocrush:
both you and the persons that liked your post are idiots, its because you have never traveled out of nigeria thats why you have the effrontery to say this nonsense, have you thought bout the millions of nigerians outside? Have you!!!

my brother.

very easy for pple who never go beyond there village to hide behind their keyboard to type rubbish...the first assignment of a leader is to defend his pple, not to whitewashed them in bad light.

Is This What Politics Has Been Reduced To In Akwa Ibom State? (pictures)



.This is what politics has been reduced to in Akwa ibom state. These bunch of cretins are celebrating the victory of their party at the supreme court and for them, this is the best way to celebrate.
With this kind of mentality, you can't blame the political elites who ride roughshod over you and only see you people fit for use as thugs for ballot box snatching.

the irony of it... if APC had won, the same pple would be celebrating and burying PDP legacy.

don't forget that t the same pple who shouted " hosanna in the highest, also shouted crucify him" against Christ

the same thing Ngwa pple did against Alex Otti just to intimidate APGA supporters in Aba

something things like this should be unheard-of in our polity

sevule:
I really don't get it myself, are Nigerian men so LAZY that they cannot wash their own clothes? If you can't wash your own clothes don't you know the direction to the drycleaners? Since when did washing clothes and cooking become part of the job description of a girlfriend?

my dear it's baffling.
it stems from up- bringing... if you are from a family where girls are meant to do all the menial chores, while boys just sit to watch T.V; one would definitely end up seeing women as maids.
I come from a family where everyone helps out in the kitchen, be you boy or girl, so with that I see every lady (my woman in particular) as equal partner and not something to be used.

sarzy:
Now tell me: apart from D'banj; which of Don Jazzy's acts can you compare with 9ice? Don't forget 9ice is a legend.

9ice a legend with how many albums?
been relevant for how many years?

olatemitayo:
Do you even know what grammy is all about?.... Let me tell you this that those white guyz re no fools. To let Nigerians in to the same level with their own artistes will be a serious economic suicide for them.

there are categories of Grammy awards, dedicated to international art..and Nigerians have been nominated a few times... so there no suicide in it.

see amazing natural hair... no " Brazilian "

AshiwajuFoward:
Imagine o? It's like saying that the economy of the entire country is dependent on a tribe of traders ? ? Fine, igbos are skilled traders but no need exaggerating this. Not all Igbos are trading inclined -- the Imo and Enugu folks for examples prefer more educational/administrative/professional proficiency, while the Ebonyi axis prefers to focus more on Agric. The Anambra and Abia axis are the predominant traders of the group. Hausas also have traders, skilled ones too. The ijebus and Ogbomosho folks are well known and skilled traders as well. This overhyping is becoming ridiculous and reeks of desperation for relevance.

ANAMBRA axis predominantly traders?
how do you explain that same Anambra has one of the highest Academics in Nigeria not to talk of South East?

have you been to Aba and Onitcha and see numerous folks who are of Enugu and imo extraction?

for the fact you don't have a place like Aba and Onitcha in imo and Enugu ;does that make them less of Marchants?

but it seems black face is a good song writer though, may be he should concentrate more in that area.
some pple are born natural artist and performer... it seems he is none of such, so if writing songs is what befits him, then let him face it.

Ekeeyhandsome:
Black face..writing hit upon hit songs back to back..yet him never blow...

do you know if that was the song that was destined for his eventual " blow?"...

very soon someone will yell " special center "
like say dem own na ordinary center abi na "business center? "

not a single Amata brothers in your list -

UncleJJ:
Yes Nigerian ! But, IPOB is making everyone skeptical about the east.

These are military equipment not housewares. From, the look on Saraki's face the senator is just wasting his time.

He may get the contract for training kits but definitely not for real soldiers.

Besides, the senator should have invited the other senator to the so called factory in ABA.

Military boots and uniform are from very durable materials and made by companies who have experience or have brought in experienced individuals to do so.

For all we know, these guys are importing this shi*t from vietnam, china or indonesia.

It's the same way we where told innoson is a manufacturing plant , while infact it's an assembly plant.

Defence contracts are not childs play and are only issued to the most trusted of candidates. Unfortunately , eastern Nigeria is on short supply of this so called element.,

bad belle! can you manufacture " slippers? "

PEZMAN:
It's obvious yu are a frustrated dude and yuv easily displayed what yu people are well known for here...

was waiting for the " bomb " you were gonna throw...these are well-reharsed archaic line.
try something better...

Joy1706:
Ur so wrong. Lemme tell u eh, my first guy, I neva asked anything from him not even airtime. He also never gave me a dime, not even t - fare, not to talk of gifts or even 100 naira airtime. Yet the buffoon had the guts to be demanding for sex and asking when ill come wash and cook for him. My only joy is that I never did a single one of those tinz 4 him.

are you saying he would have been entitled for sex if only he had given you such things as airtime, A dime,gifts and T.fair as you mentioned?

even if you are married to him, I don't think doing those think you mentioned are your " sole responsibility " as a wife.
why should a guy compel you to wash his clothes

I think, sometimes the value you place on your self matters alot as a woman... just yesterday, my girl called and asked what I was doing, and said I was washing my clothes, and she was like..." oh how I wish am there to do the washing for,and tried to prove to her that is not her responsibility to do so but she insisted that it was her" womanly responsibility " and I was totally shocked to say the least.

that you are my girlfriend or wife doesn't make you my house maid

our women need to grow up and our men need a reality check

ChristyG:
anambra is just a market state,doesnt make it developed.even in d se region,it is not d most developed state not to talk of d whole nigeria.yeye

shut your mouth!
did you see the person I quoted and the stupid comment he made in callin Anambra "crap?"
better don't start what you can't Finnish.

PEZMAN:
Well am from the gateway state (OGUN STATE) ...don't create unnecessary argument coz yu won't b able to stand it when I start wif yu...just show some respect when yu see one..#gracias#

you are a P.I.G for opening your mouth to call Anambra "crap"

you should have just enjoyed your celebration without desecrating the thread, but obviously you took some " ogogoro " while gyrating.
bring your best shot let me silence you

PEZMAN:
So yu av dis long list of personalities and yur state still looks crap SMH

which of your state is more developed than Anambra?

O0XYGEN:
Meanwhile percentage-wise there are more lightskinned people in Ghana than in federal republic of mumugeria.

yes! more light - skinned... especially the Lebanese, because your women always feel the need to change their "charcoal" complexion and will keep frolicking around everything white skin.

tell me one light-skinned Ghanaian that is not half-cast,or rather " Lebanese cast? "

iamord:
Well I am glad you are clear about the first fact brought up. As it is. One thing is common.. Nollywood, ghollywood, kollywood etc. All copied Hollywood the master! So it's been all about copy cat. I believe and hope that in the future someone will come and change that name. Cos it's disgusting and displays a low level of thinking and will

the name is not as important as the content

there is serious perversion of justice with recent supreme Court pronouncements.
it's very easy to throw insults at others when you are the one benefiting from it.

for anyone who thinks those judges are above board, should think again, because what happened in Ghana recently with judges been indicted of corruption should be an opener to everyone who cares about our future. if such can in Ghana that is an epitome of democratic values; how much more Nigeria?

iamord:
Away from the leila / omotola beef(cos not in support) if you are vast in history you will know that Ghana had a movie industry before Nigeria

yes Ghana had a movie industry but not what you currently called "Ghollywood"
it only came as a result of copying NOLLYWOOD..THAT IS AN UNDENIABLE FACT

Jesus! so T.A orji will go Scott - free

MaziOmenuko:
Funny how millions of people will cast their vote but the result will be decided by just 7 men on weird wig and black gowns.

Yet they say majority carries the vote.

by brother!
and regardless of how we always say that justice is blind, I believe there's every possibility for a judge or two to lean towards a particular individual... so " justice may be blind, but judges are not "

mehn! this is the perfect definition of " justice delayed "....

nwadiuko1:
in order to actually have an unbiased grasp of what really happened during the elections in Abia...., we need to know the voting pattern/ strength of the state, We have to understand what is happening from
the historical perspective of Abia State politics.
Abia is divided into two distinct blocs - the old
Bende Division and the old Aba Division. The
old Bende Division has eight local government
areas and the old Aba Division has nine.
Abia North is exclusively old Bende, Abia South
is exclusively old Aba; and then in Abia Central,
we have three local government areas from
each of the two divisions. This is the
composition of Abia State.
Starting from the First Republic, Dr M. I.
Okpara, Premier of Eastern Region, was from
old Bende Division and when you come to the
period of the military rule, Commodore Ebitu
Ukiwe, Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, Major General
Ike Nwachukwu, Amadi Ikweche, Admiral
Chijioke Kaja, Navy Captain Osondu were all
from old Bende.
Also, the first civilian governor of Abia State, Dr.
Ogbonnaya Onu, is from old Bende, before the
creation of Ebonyi State, when his community
became part of today’s Ebonyi State.
Civilian governors

The remaining former civilian governors, Orji
Uzor Kalu and Theodore Ahamefule Orji, were
also both from old Bende though under the
current political division, Kalu is from Abia
North while Orji is from Abia Central.
So, this has been the issue. No Ngwa person
had governed the state. All they have produced
since the days of the late Chief Sam Onunaka
Mbakwe of old Imo State were deputy
governors.

The two deputy governors that Mbakwe had, Dr
Agbalaha and Chief Paul Uzoigwe, were all from
Ngwa land. It is as if the rest of the state is
saying that the old Aba cannot produce the
governor of the state. So, Abians came together
and felt that it is fair that the current governor
of Abia State should come from Ngwa land,
from old Aba Division, especially from Abia
South, or if you like, from Ukwa Ngwa. This is
based on rotation.

During the last election, practically all the
political parties chose their governorship
candidates from Abia South as a sign that
everyone accepts the need for fairness based
on rotation. So, for the first time they had the
chance and they voted overwhelmingly for their
son.

So, for someone to say suddenly that this thing
they have been dreaming of and got is no
longer so is unacceptable, to them.
This is part of the tension, especially because
they were or about to be denied this
opportunity. Obingwa, the local government
area of origin of the governor, Dr Okezie
Ikpeazu, and the two neighbouring LGAs,
Isialangwa North and Osisioma, which is his
natural base, the votes of these three local
government areas, which favoured him
overwhelmingly, were totally cancelled by the
Court of Appeal.

This means that Ikpeazu, his wife, family and
relatives did not vote for him. Another issue
here is the voting pattern of Abia State. We all
know that to win a governorship election in
Abia State, you must win Obingwa and Bende.
Otti won in Bende and Ikpeazu won
overwhelmingly in Obingwa, his local
government of origin, only for the court to
cancel it, in addition to Osisioma and
Isialangwa North.

Now, when you look at the voting strength of
these three LGAs, it is one-third of the entire
voting strength of Abia State. So, there is
nowhere A or B can win Abia governorship
election without the result of one-third of the
state’s voting strength.........let justice prevail!!

cut the long story short...
apart from Uzor kalu and T.A orji, any other person you mentioned were not part of democratic dispensation so you can't call them old Bende.

Secondly, if it's your turn, can you prove to me that we never had candidates of Ngwa extraction vieing for the same position in the past?.. that means there was a level playing ground every one to compete?

and if it's there turn,is it T.A orji prerogative to determine who becomes the candidate so that he doesn't eventually get probed for misdeeds?

NaLaugh:


Personally, I don't see much wrong in what the lady said. It might hurt people in Nollywood, but that doesn't negate the facts.

FACT: Nollywood comes with more negative connotation than positive.
FACT: Her Hitler analogy is just that.. an analogy. It doesn't equate Nollywood with Hitler, it only draws a parallel on the effect of 'tainted' names.

This kind of "soup no sweet, but im mama like am" mentality is why production value/quality has not improved in Nollywood for decades. Nollywood now has full access to the same equipment used in making many Hollywood blockbusters, but look what they produce with it.

Compare Nollywood visual production to the Nigerian music video production and you'd realize Nollywood filmmakers have been left in the past by the newer music video industry in the SAME country.

The first and most important step in fixing a problem is fully admitting and owning that problem. Until then, denial and mediocrity will reign.

how many years is America's movie industry compare to Nollywood?
do they have access to same finance?
do they have same budget?
do they have Same government policies?
do they have same operating environment?
it was same NOLLYWOOD that gave birth to Ghana's movie industry

mrmetoo1:
False!! OPC didn't keep quiet because OBJ was one of their own, OPC kept quiet because OBJ ordered a shoot on sight for any OPC member when their activities got out of hand. This is OBJ, their own, ordering a shoot on sight. Yorubas don't support criminals, as soon as OPC started straying from what they were formed for, people dissociated themselves quickly which is why they tried to reinvent themselves but it didn't work. How many Yorubas did you see support them in the last election when they came to disturb the peace?

On the one hand you said they supported GEJ because of oil contacts on the other you said they've disappeared because a Yoruba man is VP, please make up your mind, which is it? OPC disappeared after the election because they have no place in our society, plain and simple. They have no supporters or sympathizers except among themselves. OPC supported who they supported for selfish interests not for the sake of anyone else, they along with GEJ lost, so what's left for them?? If they try any rubbish, Yorubas will be the ones pointing authorities to where they can find them. We're focused on development not advancement of some selfish set of people

why don't you just declear that OPC are not yoruba and your argument for make sense more.?
yoruba don't support criminal,true...so are you saying other tribes support criminals?
is it every Igbo that supports Biafra

I repeat myself, OPC supported Gej because of pipeline contract and are now at peace with Buhari because of Osibanjo's position in the political equation.

can you, in your widest imagination, compare OPC ' s violent orientation with that of IPOB's peaceful agitation

yes! " I agree that you are focused on development and not advancement of selfish set of people "... that only happens when political "cake" is in your favor and after that you shout for ODUA REPUBLIC

and even if you think OPC is too " agberoish" to be associated with you,let me remind you that AFENIFERE has also called for ODUA REPUBLIC in the past and heaven didn't come down.

banki:
Bia nwokem mechie onu dia,

Even the person that made the comment about level headed is a clown!

When obj did not even get support from the south west? Pdp did not even have one governor when obj became president? You think everyone is myopic like some of you

Obj didn't get support from South West? obviously you are a kid and need to shut your trap!
where were you when the south west under AD party decided to vote Obasanjo( a PDP candidate) in the presidential race and vote their Governors in the gubernatorial elections; then ended up losing all south west to PDP, except Lagos state?... most likely you went on exile

better face your " kai kai"
