You sabi D1, Omojo-ibo, and Akeem?...

Even witchcraft groups are now doing what our religious groups are meant to be doing....

Lol.... Titles that has no role to play in your journey to heaven? Whether you are a Pastor, Prophet, Apostle, Pope, Reverend, Bishop, Evangelist, Deacons/Deaconesses, etc.... everyone will account for their deed as an ordinary soul, not even our flesh will be with us, all souls will be assembled while we account one after the other...

So this man of God shouldn't stress himself on frivolous things

In as much as this is a very good gesture, but considering who this is coming from, I consider this as clout chasing.... This man has been trying so hard to make his name ring a bell, he's been rolling out countless prophecies based on permutations and guess works, and he has also been meddling in affairs(political) that someone of his type should never have interfered....


Why not name it after a great prophet of old, or even any of the new age imam who have had a great impact on Islamic religion in Nigeria? But he rather chose one of the family the present president...

See Reno, see prophet Ayodele...

That banknote is 10,000 South Korean won.
You can tell because:
It has Korean writing (Hangul) on it.
The number 10000 is printed clearly.
The portrait on the note is King Sejong the Great, a famous historical king of Korea.
The green color matches the ₩10,000 denomination.
So the currency is the South Korean won (KRW) 🇰🇷.
If you like, I can also tell you how much ₩10,000 is roughly worth in naira. #9400 to #10500 according to Chatgpt

What other documented backups, the estate is called after dolphins for the very reason the pass along the estate. I remember last year I was on the express along dolphin estate, people were parking their cars to look at the the dolphins passing by..

Giving a name to a place or a property is mostly as a result of history preservation, Identification of an Iconic event/person/an object, and sometimes Memorial purposes.... It's been done in almost every country, but the documentation aspects are not common here in Africa, not until the civilization era, reason why a large part of our history is going into extinction...

That aside, Nigerians can be very funny when it comes to giving names, that's why you would see an estate or a hotel named Ocean View and when you check properly, you would find not even a lake nearby, and you begin to wonder where they got the "OCEAN" in their name from.... I can give you more than 10 estates here in Lagos which doesn't have an iota of connection with their names.... Which is what prompted me to asked that question, and your response was educative enough....

Wickedfact:
Dolphin estate is a popular residential estate in Lagos located by the sea . It is so named because it was a major route for dolphins migrating to the south African coast. The water was shallow enough for people to go in and pet the dolphins.

The Dolphins stopped coming because they were hunted.

Woah! Nice information...


But how true is this? Any documented backups? Or just the normal Nigerian style mouth to mouth tales?

She shouldn't go Scott free with this.... False accusations has damaged a lot of lives....

Jesus is Lord.... I welcome you to God's family IJN.... I pray for you, anyone who tries or make an attempt to harm you because of your new decision, may the mighty Hand of God shield you, protect you, and make them to to harm themselves instead.... IJN Amen 🙏

Lol... It's so funny how you kids brag about your ages. You have no experience and going by your comments you are obviously still a boy at most in your late 20's / early 30's. Na NL dey give una wings like this na why but don't think you are completely anonymous. No let my hand reach you where you dey. Better ask somebody, real life isn't online trolling boy

Empty barrel.... I will willingly give you my location.... Me troll you? Lol.... I had to force myself to reply your shenanigans....

Funny enough how people like you can't express yourself without including insults, and when you are met with the same energy you dished out, you pick offenses... You had better don't mess with the wrong person if you love yourself....


Kids everywhere!

Pure b5. Never ever play any script for a woman to get her acceptance. Only a f***l does that to himself. Rather be your own original self and be so strongly. Originally beats everything. You guys still have not learnt anything.

So you rather be fake for a woman to like you?
Na wah. And this one get mind dey advice people on women matters

Whem you keep playing to her scripts it's very easy for her to code and then she see's you for what you truly are....worthless. Then you get used and dumped only to disturb us on Nairaland with more senseless topics over and over again.

Common sense should tell you if you follow that your rule she becomes really bored fast cos you're just an actor in her movie and since she's the director and producer, why wouldn't she sort for better actors for the role?

Rest bro, my comments aren't for boys.... Allow men engage me.... I'm sure you have married uncles, show them my comments let them teach you from experience ok....

You can't differentiate laundering and Grace? I laugh

Lol.... Only if you know how many young guys seeking for opportunities to launder irrespective of the consequences.... A lot of youths sold away their soul long ago and can do anything for money.... You live in Nigeria I guess, so I don't need to say much.... So for many, they call it grace....

Na wa oo.... This Peller type of grace operates in 5G network 🛜..... Whether na soap or from God, the thing Sharp... But na only God own dey last sha ....

Story .. Just live your life ... Don't live your life to impress anyone. Imagine telling a snake to behave like a monkey..For how long?

You not getting it, I'm not asking you to change your kind of person, but while living your life, spice it up with a touch of drama... Just be unpredictable at times... Once she's always certain of your next move, things like what the OP mentioned is bound to happen... 99% of women hates it when it's "TOO" peaceful...

Another good reason not to play the good guy in a relationship.... It gets boring to them as time goes, they love drama as it is an inbuilt thing, a follow-come trait to that gender...

So as a man, try your best to exhibit some kind of attitude that will raise her BP once in a while... That will make them love you more, but make sure you know when to stop...


They have that Stockholm syndrome in them....

tanigororo:
Fella is a Pace Setter, a Pioneer, a revolutionary.
What has Wizkid Pioneer?
What Pace has WizKid set and for who?
What is Revolutionary in WizKid Songs?
Answer these and let's talk.
Wizkid has a large fans base which is not deniable and they are loyal to him, but his song cannot meet be their tomorrow.

You people keep making the same mistakes...


Everybody can't be a pacesetter, someone will definitely start it, while some others will keep it moving.... MJ didn't set the pace for pop, did he? Not even the great Elvis Presley, are they legends or not? Why do people refer to MJ as the king of pop music? Cos he changed the game with his own added spice...

Again you don't expect all musicians to sing about revolution... Varieties is what makes life itself interesting, if everyone keeps doing same thing it will become boring and uninteresting... Fela is good in his various style of musics, and Wizkid is not doing bad in the path he chose... I still stand on my word, both are legends...

realmindz:
Hello, are you seriously using streaming numbers on Spotify and Apple Music to rate the quality and impact of a music ? LOL
Are you a music producer or musician. There’s a reason why global artists and producers pick Fela’s music to study and sample. Stop unnecessary arguments please because it’s obvious you don’t understand music

Don't jump in-between arguments to start judging please... I already stated that Wiz doesn't really understand music that much, Fela actually studied music in school, so knowing music is not the bone of contention here, but their greatness is...

Omoawoke:
You keep shouting “facts” but you clearly don’t understand how musical influence is measured.

Nobody said Wizkid is a TikTok artist. The point is that you are judging music with streaming-era consumption logic and applying it to a man who built music in a totally different industry structure. That is basic context, not insult.

Now to your biggest embarrassment:

You asked, who is sampling Fela, and who brought him back to limelight?”

This alone shows you don’t understand legacy.

Fela Anikulapo-Kuti never needed anybody to “bring him back”. He never left the academic, production and musician reference space.

Serious artists who have publicly built on, sampled, reworked or structurally referenced Fela’s sound include:
Burna Boy,
Questlove,
Erykah Badu,
and even Beyoncé openly credited Afrobeat and Fela’s legacy as part of the creative foundation of her African-inspired work.
Those are not bloggers but musicians and producers.

Lol... Well, here's my final quote cos I have realized you are one of those who jumps around during arguments, you change goal post when your points are being questioned...

All these questions you are asking me are unnecessary cos I already mentioned that going head to head with both legends isn't reasonable due to some factors, but you wanted to prove to me why Wiz shouldn't be referred to as legend just because Fela created the genre (which in truth, he's not even the founder), and you have not been able to...


So I leave you with this, as far as afro beat is concerned, Fela is a legend during his time, and Wiz is the new legend of afrobeats both on papers and in reality... And Wiz legendary status is not writing off or competing with that of Fela, both should be respectrd in their own way

Omoawoke:
At this pont, you are only exposing how shallow your thinking is…

you are judging a genre-founder from the 1970s with TikTok-era hype logic. That’s like using Instagram likes to evaluate physics research

Fela is still being sampled, referenced and structurally copied by serious musicians today. That is what people who actually understand music look at.

And I’m not deceiving myself, I still listen to Fela up till tomorrow and many others still listens to him around the world… just the soundtracks alone are sufficient to enjoy a long drive…

Now answer one clean question instead of dodging:

How many major artists have rebuilt their sound around Wizkid the way musicians keep rebuilding around Fela?

(At this pont, you are only exposing how shallow your thinking is)… you are actually referring to yourself with this



(you are judging a genre-founder from the 1970s with TikTok-era hype logic.) Wiz is not from tick-tock era, go get your facts


(Fela is still being sampled, referenced and structurally copied by serious musicians today. That is what people who actually understand music look at.).... Mention few of them, now who brought Fela back to limelight among those you mentioned?


(And I’m not deceiving myself, I still listen to Fela up till tomorrow and many others still listens to him around the world… just the soundtracks alone are sufficient to enjoy a long drive)… You are actually, ok let's accept you and few others do, what are the numbers compared to today's ratings? You combined with the few others you mentioned worldwide, you all didn't total up to a significant numbers that can be noted by all known streaming platforms, so?


(How many major artists have rebuilt their sound around Wizkid the way musicians keep rebuilding around Fela?).... Ok I asked you too, during Fela's prime, how many of his contemporaries or even upcoming emulates his style? Meaning it was after his demise people starts imitating him...

Omoawoke:
You are saying both will stand the test of time , hahahahha

Do you know Fela music has already stood the test of time? Fela died 28 years ago and you are still arguing about him today.
You are comparing raw art with auto tune ?

How many musical instruments can Wizkid play?
You are comparing originality to digital voice and sampled music.

If Fela had existed this generation, with the kind of talents he has…. He would have totally buried the likes of Wizkid and make them his backup dancers 😂

Oga, better wake up from your delusions..

There’s a reason the world global stars still listen to Fela to sample their own music.
There’s a reason Hollywood still use Felas music for their movies

Please wake up and stop delusions…. Wizkid is good, But there’s zero room for comparison with Fela …
Saying they are great in their own ways is still arrogance and pure delusions

I have identify your problem already, it's left to you to update yourself and the way you think....


If Fela should sing those music he sang back then, I swear portable will easily flop him.... You don't work with reality.... Like you yourself mentioned, Fela should be thanking the new cats like wiz and the rest for sampling majority of his already forgotten songs....


I ask you again, before the whole Seun and Wiz saga, when last did you listen to Fela?


Keep deceiving yourself

Omoawoke:
Fela conquered his own generation and still conquering 27 years after his death…

It is Wizkid that we should be praying remains relevant in the next 5 years while he is still alive.
He hasn’t even resigned and how many Wizkid songs is still relevant today?

Wizkif is still alive and not a single one of his album made it into the Grammy hall of fame, imagine Fela’s album “Zombie” from an era of no auto tune still making it into the hall of fame..
if Fela was in this generation, he would have won at least 10 Grammy awards and that’s no joke…

As at now, Wizkid is old glory !

Stop speaking grammar thinking it would make your argument smart… because it’s completely dead on arrival..

Look at how you just by your own self displayed your ignorance.....

You need to go and understand what "Hall of Fame" means first, maybe I can then engage with you....


Fela still conquering? Lol.... You people don't work with facts, that's my problem with you guys.... When last did you yourself listened to Fela's music? How many people listens to his music today? I don't want assumptions, I want real facts... Let's go to Apple music, Spotify, Audiomack, Boom play, etc .. and let's see what we have ...

Please you have know reasonable arguments at all ...

Lol.... The first paragraph is a blatant lie.... Google is your friend...


Talking about the eras both legends reigned, I already said both shouldn't be compared cos there are many factors that will make it difficult to put both stats head to head... But one thing is certain, considering the zeal we all witnessed in the journey of Wiz to stardom, I can confidently tell you he would have still be successful during the Fela era, cos he would definitely follow the trend of demand from the then listeners....

I hate it when people just create analogies based on personal thoughts and preferences, leaving aside actual numbers, facts and records... I call it fabricated thoughts..

Most of you guys are saying one thing, maybe influenced by your preference, but reality is saying otherwise.... Those that are rated above Wizkid are rated by people that doesn't matter when it concerns music, but organisations or people that truly matters musically are giving wiz his flowers.... Numbers don't lie....

Musical artiste with the most awards is Wizkid, even more than the so called Fela, and yet people still try to water down his impact musically.... Lol...

Well, numbers don't lie

ruggedtimi:
I don’t know why people keep insisting that Fela’s music was all about anti government themes. In reality, only about 30% of his songs were politically charged. The majority were party or social tracks songs like Lady, Expensive Shit, Shakara, Open & Close, Yellow fever,....etc
He had a vast catalog beyond politics, and even artists like Wizkid have sampled some of these classics

You are actually right here... But the arguments is focused on type of his songs that gave him fame, not even the fame per say, but that legendary status people placed on him...

Makinaki:
It's just unbelievable the mundane things Nigeria's major corporate organisations and political elite focus on. Birthdays, weddings, even family bereavement. All signs of an unserious country of particular concern - majoring in the minor! In the same country where about 200 souls were just slaughtered like sheep days ago o. To hell with silly birthdays.

Please just rest.... You as an individual, what little effort did you make?... Hypocrite

Kemetian:
That's 1978. It's not about size, huge glamour, big gold chains and ferrari.

It's about talent and artistry.

Even at that, I still believe Fela gave his generation what they wanted and Wizkid is doing same likewise... Fela pulled huge crowd cos of his lyrics, guts, lifestyle, and knowledge of music... His music is still relatable cos the government of Nigeria is still bad till date , trust me, if Africa could match up with other continents, I bet Fela style of music will sound irritating to newer generations, except for few people who are up to date with history...


Wiz on the other hand, people love him not really because he understood music 🎵, but his melodious voice got a lot of his fans captivated, couple with his lifestyle and aura.. Just like Fela, as the world evolves and new generation emerges, his style of music also fades away....

But both will stand the test of time before they eventually fades away... No doubt

Kemetian:
Honestly this world has spoiled. Imagine wizkid comparing himself to this GENIUS. This MASTER.

Fela... Abami Eda.... please forgive him. He doesn't know anything.

Both of them are legends in their own generation
