See supposed old men just disgracing themselves. Diss.troy abeg call your guy to order.

Everything you are watching is scripted. Just like the "Off your mic" debacle when he was exposing the Senators as Minister which got swept under the rug.

Whatever you are watching has a predetermined end with the man in Aso Villa as the Executive Producer. It would be entertaining and we:d banter about it. But we lack the focus to see it through.

Burna Boy just needs to shade Davido on Instagram this minute for us to get distracted.

See how Northern Senators have thrown the Senator who made the claim under the bus?

Akpabio has Tinubu's complete backing. 100℅. Partners, actually. Good for him and them. Scary for the fate of the country.

Mrtaye:
I was confused when you said you have a nature of hirsutism

Hirsutism is the state of being hairy. It applies to all humans, irrespective of gender; and all animals too.

nihilistjnr:
Do cultists drink alcohol?

If yes. Then alcohol and cultism go hand in hand.

This is whataboutism and steep descent into the abyss of muddied waters.

We could as well say "Do cultists eat junk food? If yes, cultism and junk food go hand-in-hand."

You get the message. You know how substance abuse messes with orientation and alters states of mind, and the connection with such altered states of mind induced by drugs to the barbaric antics cultism entails. You know this.

Muddying the waters is good to deflect and it might be effective sometimes, but you know the connection.

Mrtaye:
Are you a woman or a man

I'm a man. The 'M' male designation by my moniker is obvious.

What sort of woman has facial hair? That's a freak.

I remember trying to get the state government to truly recognise this guy mid last year. Even organised a birthday for him with a radio station and some OAPs. Nothing much. Had a chat with him and he was open to promoting weightlifting after he won medals for Nigeria at the Commonwealth Games in the U.K. 2 years prior.

But the Commissioner recognised a fûcking Hilda Baci. Not hating on her, but he deserves it too.

For a guy who continues to win medals for Nigeria, he hasn't gotten the equivalent recognition and media praise. I'd try again this year.

SeeWahala:
Igbos too fine

Even an egg with make-up looks beautiful.

It has nothing to do with her tribe but we erroneously hail women with heavy makeup and Photoshop-edited pictures as beautiful. It really shoes the low standards of men.

We have seen her face without makeup and editing in movies, and it's definitely not beautiful. Not ugly, but not beautiful.

Sportsweb:
Dissotry listen to burna boy, he should tell us if he is a cultist or junkie since the music you listen shows who you are.

Maybe you should go read the exchanges in the last page. Read slowly then you'd realize your take in retrospect is wrong. Go read the page of this thread to begin with.

Not all drug abusers are cultists, but cultists are drug abusers. Most cult antics require their adherents not to be sober which is even more highlighted by the conformist nature of cults.

This much is obvious.

So BlueRay is right - drug abuse and cultism go hand-in-hand. Attempts to deflect with whataboutism are nothing more than those - attempts.

BlueRayDick:
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/11/ndlea-boss-knocks-adekunle-gold-burna-boy-others-for-glorifying-drug-abuse/

Burna actually sings about drug use and I'm sure u know it is a crime to use, possess, manufacture, or distribute drugs.

Yes, Burna doesn't sing about Fraud but he sings about drugs. Drug abuse go hand in hand with cultism and other vices.

Las Las , the youth will do what they want to do irrespective whether their fave sings about drugs, cultism and fraud or not.

The new trick is to gaslight anyone who visibly and vehemently opposes drug abuse.

"I know people who take drugs but are civil and very kind. They don't cause trouble."

"You that don't take drugs, I'm sure you have terrible sides about you."

In recent years, the euphemistic term for cultism is now "game".

Even more recently, as I found out to my surprise, within certain politician circles and praise singers, the euphemism for cultism is " system", and a long time cultist is a "system man". So when they say, " You have to be loyal to the system", they mean one thing.

Need I mention fraud? "Cash out", " Update", "Blow", " Pickings", and other such fraud-speak have dominated everyday lingua, even highly-placed persons who should know better.

triplechoice:
Baby wipes can only work for babies and not for adults with lot of hair down there. You are hairless hence the reason you have no problem with it .

Read the below and learn from other people's experience

LOL. These guys have to be actually hairy to know how it feels. I do well with cold since my hair acts as insulation but badly with heat.

I have to use the restroom once I get into any building to wash my face with water, and beard too. Handkerchiefs are just temporary measures. How can they clean sweat off my beard? We have to wash it else it'd be itchy.

Same for using the loo. Since we are hairy, no matter how frequently we shave, the hair grows back in a few days and in between, we have to wash off with actual water.

Any hairy person who uses tissue paper in the loo is a pig. He definitely has excreta crumbs sticking around where the sun doesn't shine.

They won't understand until they are just as hairy.

Fraud and cult music apologists are trying to prove DissTrôy is like them.

I'd attach screenshots of me condemning cultism, fraud, and those who encourage such through music or music tastes, and/or comments on social media. All with my full names on Facebook and my details public.

You just are trying really hard to prove that sweeping stereotype SeanOkáfor made here months ago that most Nigerian youths are fraud apologists. Well, many of us aren't and we visibly condemn such.

WhoDeyHause:
But you were using burna one time here to drag shallipopi talking about how he sings about socio political issues and all that. Burna boy that has been a frat member from the UK?

And I am right. He sings socially conscious songs, but he's a thug.

Same me was spilling more details to prove Burna is a thug and killer.

DissTroy:
Underestimate the unhinged vengeance of a proper Port Harcourt boy or one who grew up in nearby cities at your own peril.

Burna Boy doesn't act like a gang member - he's a gang leader.
Same Burna Boy who was so notorious he was banned in the U.K. for gang violence for 5 years in 2011? Or the one who got his gang to almost partially maim Mr 2Kay 6 years ago?

I'd attach a screenshot from Twitter soon to prove Burna blocked me. And that's because I called him a thug. Why would I defend the character of someone I called a thug?

Sportsweb:
You lucky I don't know how to dig post.

Same you that has been downgrading Shallopopi while using burna boy as your favorite singer, the singer with meaningful lyrics to listen to.

Let me help you. I defended that Burna should ignore Eedris Abdulkareem's comparison of him to Davido since Eedris has leeching motive to his praise.

No, I didn't praise Burna Boy or interact with his activities. I can share a screenshot to show Burna has me blocked on Twitter for my criticism of his thuggery before 2018 when he really went global even.

You are desperate to prove I am like you. I have preached against thuggery, gangs, cultism, and fraud since 2014 when I registered on Nairaland.

I have encouraged that decent and quality artistes should be followed.

You are a fraud and cultism apologist. Own up to it!

DonPablo9511:
No mind am

Burna boy wey be Lord D

You can invent narratives to support fraud and cultism but not everyone is like you.

DonPablo - denonym for fraudsters in Nigeria.

Sportsweb:
Cultism?

Your favorite singer is Burna boy

You are a foól! Burna Boy isn't my favourite singer.

Over the years I have stated Johnny Drille is my favourite singer. And he and Banky W are the only artistes I follow on social media.
I just checked. I follow Styl Plus, Bez, and Nonso Amadi too. All alternative music and decent artistes on and off the stage.

My post history on Twitter which can be confirmed shows this. On this thread too. On other threads too.

I listen to alternative music mostly and have stated this over the years.

For people like us who are hirsute - very hairy, tissue paper never really does the job. We have to wash everything off with water because, for us, hair grows everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

Even face wipes don't do the job of cleaning our faces and sweat since we have a lot of facial hair so water to the rescue, again.

Maybe it might work for people with no body hair.

sageb:
I wonder what Youths see in Shallipopi's songs.
No good lyrical content

In a twisted way, it's good they showcase who they are so people like us can filter who we get personal and intimate with (especially for the females amongst them).

---

Attended a reception last weekend. Got there before it began. Soon enough my table was filled with a bevy of ladies - ladies in the loose sense. Music began blaring before the couple walked in and my stereotype of almost all of them with overly-made-up faces screaming "If she no sûck o..." was spot-on.

...except the lady on my left who was more reserved. I knew who I was going to turn on the heat with flirting with. Turns out she's a lawyer who took up fashion designing, made the bridal train's outfits, and is highly in demand when I checked her out on Facebook that evening.
It made sense that she wouldn't sing along to "If she no suck o..." since she makes her own money decently.

A little conversation with one of the "If she no suck o " crew in front of me and she couldn't be really straightforward with what she does for a living while making TikTok videos singing along at intervals so I let the conversation tail off. You could tell what she believes in.


But that's just a small instance where a billion instances exist to corroborate it.

If you don't believe in it or it doesn't resonate with you, you won't sing along to it.

Fraud and/or cultism apologists are definitely attracted to that kind.

#SayNoToCultism is trending and back as a topical issue.

When DissTrôy complains about shit and negatively impressionable music, somehow the Shalli-whatever nitwit slips in Akwa Ibom out of nowhere into the conversation to deflect from the point because snide and brainless remarks are the hallmark.

You sing "Men mount" and other such songs championing fraud and cultism, and even declare yourselves as ambassadors of such music then complain about cultism.

You are the reason cultists talking on rhythmic beats are bold enough to be so brash and uncivilized since they know they have adherents amongst you. You stream such songs, attend such shows, and follow and engage with such crass fellows across social media.

Yeah, "It's just fun".

You are the reason cultism and fraud are being made to seem cool. It's your fault!

WhoDeyHause:
Of course shallipopi is no match for omah lay. My stanship for shalli won't make me go that far. See my post on this last e

I've already reiterated he's watery lyrically as most of his songs are the ones created to just give you a "good time" but same way people like you hate it is why others like it, just like our different sports teams and our candidates during elections, maybe cause I've been in the streets for some time I don't know plus he's bini
I don't deny his lyrics don't also have an influence just like artistes of old but there's also a way you're trained either at home, school or place of worship that'll you have a mind of your own when it comes to certain things. Also not everyone has the mind to do act on certain stuff. Shallipopi isn't the first to sing about vain stuff and surely he won't be the last.

Completely random question: Do you by any chance like big polos/ t-shirts, with cross bags - black crossbags, slides and white socks with shorts to booth? And white airpods too?

WhoDeyHause:
One man's meat is another man's poison egbon. Shallipopi might not be a lyrical genius especially in English but we his fans that understand the street lingo therein like am like that because we understand music is much more than lyrics especially in a competitive industry like ours. Even your faves have bad or controversial songs.


You were rating omah lay the other day so you must and are still jamming to soso take my pain away.

Nobody is talking about what they drink or smoke. It's about the quality of music.

I don't want to risk starting another argument but comparing Stanley to the Whatever guy is like comparing VVD to Maguire - just because both of them play for top clubs and are starters doesn't make them equals. But let's not get into that argument.

Wetin be soso abeg? Weed, Igbeaux. I'm sure you'll be probably be huming it while combing your bear bear. Me sef dey hum too sha. Almost all of them that are popular both international and local each have controversial or senseless songs that have hit the airwaves. Most egbons here listened to all them 2pac, jigga and co, are they in the streets looking for oops with guns up and down or selling drugs in the dark corners?
Baba influence or not who wan spoil go spoil so leave our Pluto presido for us.

Considering I actually did this listening to Omah Lay's and Oxlade's playlist before heading out for the event, you are crazy.

This is wrong. It's still one of the few platforms we can use our naira cards to transact with on international platforms since it does direct Forex conversions.

Getting dollars to pay for services is going to get even more difficult.

BlueRayDick:
I don't think it's about the bolded . Maybe I can't speak about other tribe music , but I can tell u there were Yoruba musicians who had lewd lyrics in their songs while we were growing up .

The Fela that everyone celebrates today was a weed smoker and nudist. My dad told me most parents actually didn't want their children to go to African shrine to watch Fela . A lot of girls never turned out good the moment they entered Fela shrine.

Yet Some of our parents as would go there in their youth to watch him live . Those same parents still raised children they were strict enough to raise well despite their own vices as young adults . In fact Jimi Disu today is a 60 smithing year old veteran journalist and social critic, a grandfather who has kids he trained up to university level . He always mentions it on his radio programmes how he was staunch fella follower who frequents Kalakuta wella .

Obesere wasn't blasted to us 24/7 as kids, was it? It was regulated. Either at the random Owambé down the street or occasionally on radio.

Now there's a deluge of shit music available on demand and 24/7 to impressionable kids.

We didn't have a forced message which mocked going to school or reading culture and casualized everything. Same era where quizzes on NTA, Cowbell and Milo educational competitions were the norm? Where Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was the thing?Where it was cool to be book-smart.

We never had the "All way na way" mentality which is prevalent now. That's what Gen Z and Gen Alpha are being force-fed with now. Yet we blame them for the environment we created.

WhoDeyHause:
Who God has blessed No man can diss.troy.
Even for akwa ibom MEN MOUNT

LOL. You assume my location always even when I barely ever post about my location or itinerary. No, it wasn't in Akwa Ibom. And I'm currently not in the state.

And, yes, you can listen to shitty music all day if you like, and songs which troll or mock the intelligentsia or impresses young girls they have to "suck" and "fúck" to get the money as that's the way, but complaining about Gen Zs having that mentality is hypocritical - we taught Gen Zs those values.

---

And I pointed out Shalli-whatever of the thousands of songs played, including Mercy Chinwo's, because I know it would trigger shit music lovers. It worked. Predictable lots.

TrebleChamp:
Our kids of today are more interested in playing Sportsbetting, rather than read to learn anything. You see kids as young as 10year old holding betting slip in public, and you just wonder what this country would be like say in 50years...

We champion questionable characters like Shalli-whatever as role models, blast "If she no suck..." from loudspeakers at every party, including wedding receptions like the one I attended today, ridicule academics or the intelligentsia with quips like "Who e help?", and accord a crass, uncultured, and unread boy with money from any source more respect that 50 poets and economics scholars put together then we expect the younger generation to read? To what end?

Put up a post on your Facebook profile dissecting any of Charles Dickens' or Dan Brown's novels then watch almost all your Facebook acquaintances avoid it, then post some comedy skit of some girl twerking. Sit back to compare the engagements.

Millennials who are elder siblings and to Gen Zs and have them as niblings are just at fault. Late stage Millennials particularly.

immortalcrown:
Impressive.

Almost 16k per student.

But are there only 48,797 WAEC candidates for this year in the state? If no, how will the poorest ones be identified and made the beneficiaries of this fund?

Since 2007 under Godswill Akpabio, primary, secondary, and WAEC for students in public schools are free. And it's a punishable crime for the administration of government schools to demand any tuition or WAEC fees.

Free pre-tertiary education has been mandatory for 17 years now in Akwa Ibom. Nonnegotiable regardless of who is in power.

joseph1832:
not all of us bro. Some Nigerians are still very loyal first to Nigeria... though they are becoming more and more fee, because of they way many tribal bigots behave.

A couple of years back, I would never have even believe there's anything like tribalism in Nigeris, until I experienced it, first hand. They didn't even make any mistake of hiding it, they threw at my face.

Quantifying that demography of unflinching patriots to "few" might be more like it, man. The history of Nigerian sociopolitics is proof enough.

Most Nigerians' loyalties lie with their tribes first. Since tribal ties are the most topical issues in Nigeria, we are all conscious of our tribal identities and everything in the polity reminds us of it.

BlueRayDick:
This is a wide generalization don't u think ? Not everybody places tribal interests first in all things.

As regards regional politics, the reason tribalism always rears its ugly head is because we actually don't practice democracy like we should in a plural state where u have different people with different interests. When u see a governor who would site most developmental projects in his own region of the state, it is only normal that the people of other tribe fight tooth and nail to have their own son too get the number 1 seat and favour them as well.

The exceptions do not negate the rule.

Just because you and I and others here might be different doesn't make it norm. The Esan sentiments in Edo are the same sentiments in other places - we versus them.

It's even more profound in ethnically diversed states. You are Yoruba from a region which is largely homogenous.

Cross Riverians with more than 100 tribes, Rivers with 10+ tribes and a few others would disagree with you.

BlueRayDick:
E clear pass SLTV

At the end of the day, no matter how cosmopolitan and nationalistic we thump our chests to be, we are all tribal animals fiercely loyal to the interests of our ethnicities primarily. Especially in regional politics.

iamoyindamola:
That one is a lost case if diss.troy can perfectly describe the man nothing again
I hope he gave them token to enjoy the weekend after the speech
His own is to share, our powerful APC man
Btw I wonder what obi will have said in his position

Incognito9:
That stupid man is only good in distributing token to his fellow thieves.

Since he enter that senate, he hasn't deliver a good speech.

He deserve impeachment, sha naija don cast.

He's not going to be impeached. He has a pact with the GCFR.

Forget his line of defense for the shortcomings of this administration - Akpabio is a very good orator. He's far from stupid. Not a bit stupid even. He can turn a crowd of nuns into a mob in two minutes. He's that good. Even his vocal detractors would tell you so.

That he's defending with these gaffes point to one thing - he's being devious and mischievous. He knows what he's saying and doing.

Same thing happens in State Houses of Assembly where the Governors handpick the Speakers of the HOA.

Almost two months ago, I went on and on exposing how fraudulent Aisha Yesufu is, her antics, and how she's been riding the Peter Obi wave and posturing to pilfer money for herself.

A number of persons - TheFlint1 chief of them - disputed it and countered calling me a hater.

Today, she's trending on Twitter as "Hushmummy" with FS Yusufu, a staunch Obidient, exposing her and reiterating the same points I made about her on this thread about two months ago.

Shelve emotionality and you'd see people for who they really are.

DissTroy:
I'm not here to prove anything to you. I'm here to state the facts without any deviation to whataboutism or emotionality. I never do either. I was calling the Black Lives Matter campaign a scam before the leaders were eventually exposed as such. My Nairaland posts are my proofs.

I was already stating the Kwankwaso, Peter Obi, Pat Utomi connection long before it happened right here on this thread.

Reno Omokri has pictures on his website of him preaching in a church he supposedly pastors. Mind of Christ Christian Center. How do I know so much? I can't reveal without giving away too much. Just like the shop picture Aisha Yesufu posted. It's a front.


- Reno Omokri had donations given to the Free Leah Sharibu campaign which he never accounted for.
- Aisha Yesufu and her colleagues had millions donated to the Bring Back Our Girls Movement from around the world which she never accounted for.

- Donations were made to release EndSARS victims in police custody e.t.c. No account till date.

Two of a kind.

There was a debacle about her being in the midst of Labour Party agent mobilization fees. It died down as with any Nigerian scandal.

Don't get personal. This isn't about emotions.

If Reno Omokri had been supporting Peter Obi like Aisha Yesufu is today, you'd be defending him even as I call him out.

DissTroy:
You know what? Screw it! I was going to focus this exegesis on Reno Omokri primarily, but since there's a defender of the scheming Aisha Yesufu, well, let's step into the light.

-++++

Aisha Yesufu postured and maneuvered her way into being in charge of funds to mobilise Labour Party polling agents.

Here she is declaring and assuring them they'd be paid: https://twitter.com/AishaYesufu/status/1629131200815063042?lang=en .

On election day and in the aftermath, the news was flooded with complaints by LP polling agents complaining about not being mobilised and some in the core North even abandoning their duty posts partly due to this and inducements from other parties.

Have we ever done accountability for how much was budgeted and how much was disbursed? No! You want recounts from top-ranking Peter Obi mobilisers who I have been in contact with? Yet we troll Feminist Coalition for evading the accountability searchlight.

Don't get me started. DissTróy never makes claims he doesn't have evidence for. 1 plus 1 would equal 2 always.

This isn't about emotionality. Logic and critical analyses trump emotionality always.

Everything is different and the same.

Right as we were having back-and-forths about the debacle on Nairaland on Friday, within the hour in the nested comments of some random Facebook page, the same arguments and rebuttals were going on. Forced kinship.

I stumbled on the comments minutes ago.

See the third guy forcing the dude who rejected the kinship to accept he's Igbo/Biafra by all means?

Forced kinship and forcefully trying to erase the history of others. When you say, "DîssTroy, personalise your attacks", my response is, 'No, this is who they are. It's their habit, Facebook, in person, or on Nairaland'.

Don't be gaslighted. Defend your identity.

- Afa Ube
- Calabar - ITU
- Nelson Mandela
- Nwaniba close to Four Point by Sheraton Hotels (outskirts of Uyo)
- Mbierebe

Awesome for remote work. And if you want to find other techies, you'd find them in these areas too.

Good luck and welcome to Uyo in advance, the city of peace, safety, good development, and the next frontier of tech development in Nigeria.
