Stereotypes are a shitty thing. Whether we admit it or not, immediately we saw the headline, a certain state popped into our head even though she might not necessarily hail from there.

The only way to fully erase stereotypes is for the stereotyped individuals to take it upon themselves to deviate from the expected norm. The more people who deviate, the less the stereotype holds true.

Yea, that's true, it's an analysis.

You should also click to read recent political articles by ThisDay since May, 2022. Always skewed to promote Atiku and taint even the G5 Governors who are against Atiku.

Plus, Reno Omokri (who's a recent Obi hater and Atiku promoter) has been a long-time analyst for ThisDay Newspaper. His political analyses even get posted in editorials by the ThisDay Editor-in-Chief.


This particular one got removed by ThisDay when I showed it to someone in the Obi's team. https://www [dot] thisdaylive [dot] com/index [dot] php/2022/04/26/my-ideal-ticket-for-2023/ but you can find it on Archive [dot] org .

Elections are always heated. Emotions would always fly. It's the same all over the world and it's good. Doxxing happens ans anyone who doxxes should be take getting doxxed in stride.

I'm comfortable with posting my pictures, some aren't. Even in the midst of that, one knows certain lines not to cross.

If you type "DissTroy is wrong about APC and would be disgraced" or "DissTroy is an egomaniac", it's not crossing the line; I dish and can accept it. But if you go ahead to post his family pictures or details, that's crossing the line.

We all know this. Still, if you cross that thin line in the course of online mudslinging, any response to that is on you. Very much on you. Nobody on this thread is anonymous. None. I for one know that. Forgetting this would be the undoing of anyone on this thread.

Another angle is how Barcelona still celebrates Messi's goals and achievements like he's still our club player and we all love it.

Each of these areas has a major (general) language that they speak there, apart from English.

That's why it's the major language that most outsiders know. Teaching STEM should be delivered primarily in that major language and secondarily in English.

That's oppression. There are 18 LGAs in Cross River and nothing less than 70 languages and ethnicities.
Efik and Ejagham are the major languages.

Instead of speaking and learning in English, if you cajole all 70 ethnicities to learn 3 native languages of their more dominant neighbours for sciences and other subject areas in school, what you are doing is no different from what the European invaders did to the places they invaded - neocolonialism.

Ikom LGA alone in Cross River State has 13 languages and ethnicities.

Akamkpa LGA alone in Cross River State has 13 languages and ethnicities too.

There are 18 LGAs in Cross River State.

Goodluck translating Newton's Laws into them.

DissTroy:
"Nobody knows anybody off Nairaland".

Don't believe that, man. Nobody here is anonymous. As long as you make a lot of comments on Nairaland and get in heated exchanges, you unwittingly reveal more information than you realize or intend to about yourself.

Many of you here were battle rappers on Nairaland from 12 years ago. You tagged yourselves on Facebook a lot then. Some of those Facebook accounts are dormant now. With Facebook advanced search and the right keywords, one can always connect the dots by juxtaposing the information on Nairaland. Then add Twitter advanced search.

We are only seemingly anonymous until we trigger someone to look into us. Cybersecurity is 40% an understudy of behavioural psychology and connecting the dots. One doesn't even need to trace IP addresses to do so.

I have identified many Nairalanders on Facebook and Twitter by connecting dots.

Even Sexkillz is now an influencer on Twitter yet he was active before my time on Nairaland. Nobody is anonymous.

Like I stated days ago, anômymity is a myth. I'm certain he thought he could hide behind the curtains of anønymity to insūlt needlessly.

Triggér someone enough to look into you and that anonymous facéde is razéd with firē.

Livenpros.par made a very succinct and simple point, "that you are rich doesn't mean that you would not be criticized or called out". That was a very simple point.

You are the one who then introduced the point of being broke. I mean we can all assume that he's well aware of how a poor person can use his time but how does this your reply here corelate with the point he made? Check it out. You ended up digressing from his point.

Don't use me as a distraction. Face your issues. You dug yourself into whatever virtual hole you are in with the mob who want to get at you.

On my third and final.

DissTroyer:
I did a quick dig into certain things. I noticed the main guys supporting Tinubu and defending him like drûggéd chihuahuas are doing it primarily based on stately affiliations.

Tinubu is from Osun State.
So are Eruditor aka Android17 and Larride.

No coincidence they are the two most illogical supporters of the geriatric drûg pusher. Tells it all.

The terrôrist-overrun and decîmated people of Katsina who were at peace under previous administration can tell you the results of parochially supporting an obviously incompetent gériatric buffôon simply based on "he's from our state".

For those supporting Peter Obi, you see why I stated you should drop the niceties and counter these naysaying hálfwits head-on on this thread and on Nairaland? Don't be soft on them.

One of the most trending topics on Twitter during the weekend was a backwater Nairaland thread about the Egun of Lagos State not being Yoruba to spite David Hundeyin.

The thread was created on Friday - the very day Joezinho started his nonsense about Egun not being Yoruba and I schooled him. Now the topic is hot on Twitter and getting condemnation. https://twitter.com/DavidHundeyin/status/1550530082095398913?s=20&t=xi45qmHTErFN6sKXNlc1Ag

Some of the quoted comments include references to this thread and the back-and-forths we had/have here. Don't make anyone make you think what you do here sociopolitically is irrelevant. It is very relevant in the ongoing discourse in our national polity. Nairaland is the second highest ranking Nigerian website on the internet and with the second most traffic. Comments we make here show up in first page search engine search results.

To further spite David, someone said anyone whose mother is from another tribe can't quality to be Yoruba. https://twitter.com/Golad299789/status/1550599386425696256?s=20&t=xi45qmHTErFN6sKXNlc1Ag Now you see the level these dimwîts would go.

Take off the gloves and attack. If you won't, don't tell those who are willing to put everything on the line to ease with the attacks. These people understand only one language which people like me have mastered and speak well.

Android17:
Shalaye crooner. The pendulum keeps swinging but we all know, like you, it is simple. lol

It's "LOL", not " lol". See why I stated these things can't be learnt overnight? What's "shalaye" for? You've run out of grandiose words?

You've dropped your ill-fitted facade of verbosity in hopes of matching up to me to be who you truly are. This is the real you - coming off as banal as a street urchin decked in lemon-coloured cloned Balenciaga.

I did a quick dig into certain things. I noticed the main guys supporting Tinubu and defending him like drûggéd chihuahuas are doing it primarily based on stately affiliations.

Android17:
Some people will torture their own arguments to fight self-kolonization. Someone better tell them I don't even know the way to Bakare's church but I can spot a bundle of contradictions veiled in many words. If you yank out the fact that Bakare was against subsidy removal in Jonathan's government - emphasis on Jonathan's government - you have an entirely new argument.

By the way, narcissism is not a virtue but a disorder. You know if you hurl a stick into a pack of dogs, the one that got hit will bark. Make of that what you will.

Who was president when Bakare campaigned against subsidy? Jonathan. That is very important for reference.

Bakare was against subsidy during Jonathan's period but was in support later.

You quoted me first when I made a foray into Bakare's antics so that makes you the dog.

Intelligence has never been your strong point. You are the most taunted and disgraced persona in this section of Nairaland. Even on this thread. You're renowned for being a snail who hides in his own brittle shell.

Like the song goes in this section, Android17 aka Eruditor, go pay your debt.

Android17:
So you cannot gainsay or refute any of the inconvenient facts, right? Logic stays undefeated.

That is the issue with people who buy into their own hype; When you give them Google drive for all of their talk they still can't back it up.

What part don't you understand? That Bakare was against subsidy removal but this year was campaigning in support of it? Or the fact that he's a sociopolitical chameleon whose supposed rooted ideology changes faster than the weather in September? Which?

--
I had to skim through your post history to size you up. Interesting that you had to alter your verbiage in hopes of measuring up to me. Sadly, these things aren't learnt overnight.

Being verbose is good and advantageous only if you are very articulate and precise. That's what sets a Soyinka apart from a Patrick Obahiagbon(?). Else you'd just come off as pages of a dictionary torn to bits and glued haphazardly.

Android17:
I am happy you said facts are facts twice as it will be the same fact adduced as evidence towards your own argument.

i. Tunde Bakare fought against subsidy removal in Jonathan's government. If you throw away the highlighted that is not a fact, right?

ii. Tunde Bakare also fought for Jonathan to become president right? Is that not a fact?

If both statements are facts, and are exactly what I posited, your bloaviations are therefore surplus to requirement. Do us all a favor;

The issue is the ficklenéss of Tunde Bakare's stance. The stance is subsidy: removal or not.

Bakare kicked against subsidy removal in the past but his manifesto this year was to remove subsidy.

What sort of Android17 are you? Even the recently released Android 12 is smârter.

Your whataboutism is only as effective as a periwinkle's onslaught against a beluga whale.

airmark:


Disstroyer is simply deluded, those in the industry knows how it's going.

You are an airheaded nitwit.

How do you know which streams are bots or organic?

You claimed Ckay's views are bots which implies Fireboy's views are organic?

See how biased you are? How do you know which songs are bot-propelled?

You either bring evidence to support your claim that Ckay's views are bots and Fireboy's are organic or do a Jimmy Jatt - Jump off a cliff.

airmark:


You and this Love Nwantiti numbers. . Numbers that don't translate to soldout personal tours? Why is it hard for CKay to run personal tour in different cities in the US?

Who is topping the Billboard Afrobeat chart? Definitely not CKay, so forget all those bots generated streams you are aggregating. Those in the industry knows that Fireboy is bigger than him, that's why he commands more important shows home and abroad.

The joke's on you.




Longest charting Nigerian albums of all time on the billboard world chart as at May 2022;

1. Wizkid - "Made In Lagos" - 77 weeks.

2. Fela Kuti - "The best of the black president" - 46 weeks.

3. Burna Boy - "African Giant" - 38 weeks.

4. Ckay - "Ckay The First" - 31 weeks.

5. Davido - "A Good Time" - 25 weeks.


https://notjustok.com/article/longest-charting-nigerian-albums-billboard-world-albums-chart/

Fireboy has many albums but he's not on top 10.

But Ckay is a "one-hit wonder with no album" . "But Fireboy has chased Ckay from the charts".

The internet has taken power away from the vanguards and gatekeepers of the entertainment industry and they hate it. It hurts that a nobody Ckay didn't need them or their validation to break records.

popizaino:




Airmark is not disputing Ckay's numbers,he is only saying those numbers are inorganic that's why with such a view numbers he can't sell out any Arena. It just simple cross reference.

What's your yardstick for measuring which artiste is more organic than the other?

Fireboy has a fanbase built over time (6 years). Ckay came on the scene during the lockdown when shows couldn't be held. 2 years later with gathering rules relaxed, Ckay has been holding shows.

Ckay is doing it alone. Fireboy has Olamide, YBNL, the Olamide contacts like Wizkid and Davido to push him.

The issue isn't about selling out shows or who's the better artiste. The issue I have focused on (which you have all tried to twist) is, Ckay is doing more numbers since he came on the scene than Fireboy has.

I went further to provide the statistics, including links, chart records and all.

Numbers and statistics have no respect for sentiment. The best artistes do not necessarily top the charts.

You have continually shifted the goalposts but I insist it remains where it is: Ckay doing more numbers.

Screw it! Within two years, Ckay's album has become the 4th longest charting Nigerian albums of all time, competing with Wizkid, Fela Kuti, Burna and Davido.

Joezinho:


Funny that the standard for knowing a better artiste is his/her numbers of song download which can even be bought....

Alot of you peeps don't know the effect of Don Jazzy in Nigeria music Industry..

airmark:


These are the obvious facts that Disstr.oyer hates to see and accept. Obviously, he doesn't know that streams and views can be manipulated, that's why he was hugging it with all his might.

Fireboy is more talented than Ckay and others and his tracks are there. His trifecta is highly anticipated, as that BET performance boosted his rating astronomically.

The issue isn't about talent. This argument (?) began when I mentioned Ckay is doing more numbers and has done very well then you countered to posit Ckay is a fluke one-hit wonder who is no longer topping the charts.

As always, my comeback to that was to bring facts - indisputable facts. Ckay has been consistent on the charts since 2020.

Talent is arguable, numbers aren't.
----

Why would you compare Fireboy to anyone in the first place when it comes to music content? Davido and Wizkid can't even lace Fireboy's boots when it comes to lyrical content. Never.

But Nonso Amadi is a better lyricist and musician compared to Fireboy. Yes, he's new school too. But he's not doing the numbers.

When it comes to lyrical content, I don't rate Ckay on Top 50.

The issue is about numbers. And when it comes to the numbers game since 2020, Fireboy is nowhere near Ckay., and I provided evidence for that claim. That's where I came in and I have stuck to. Anything else is muddying the waters deliberately.

airmark:


Don't be deceived by bot generated streams, bots don't attend shows that's why CKay can't put up US tours till now where he will sell out 4k+ arenas.
Fireboy had a successful tours in US, with like 21 solid songs rendered. You don't raze down arenas by singing 1000 Love Nwantiti remixes and Emiliana.




This is a lie and you know it.

Fireboy's vibration, Tattoo, Scatter, Champion didnt need bots to get attention of Fifa, Bayern Munich, NBA and other bodies.

You feel a crass compulsion to lie and twist facts just so you can further an agenda which isn't true.

At this point it has been established on this thread that I always bring evidence for my claims.

I have posted links to each artiste's YouTube and Spotify accounts so everyone can confirm but you have depended on "trust me, bro" and emotional blackmail. None could spot out any lie in what I posted.

Those do not work with me.

You are inebriated with the need to lie, you have shifted goalposts continually to bot views to posit your lies.

So Ckay views are bots but Fireboy views are real?

Ckay who has nobody and came from nowhere could afford to buy bots but Fireboy who has been in the industry for over 6 years and signed by Olamide's YBNL, a top 5 record label in Nigeria, can't afford views?

You should be ashamed of yourself for peddling such lies and agenda-driven falsehoods.

I presented facts to prove Ckay songs have dwarfed Fireboy's since he came on the scene.
Yes, Emialiana has almost 200 million streams on YouTube and Spotify as uploaded on the artiste's account which is the yardstick for views counting.

Spotify: 120 million streams

Emiliana; 90.5 million streams.
Emiliana (acoustic cover): 30 million streams.


Youtube: 68.325 million streams.

Emiliana video: 28 million views

Emiliana lyric video: 38 million streams

Emiliana acoustic video: 1.7 million streams.

Emiliana instrumental: .625 million streams


Emiliana streams on Spotify and YouTube: 188. 325 million streams.

Note please: All stream numbers are from files uploaded on the artiste's record.

Now show me which Fireboy song asides Peru remix has done such a number since 2020 when Ckay came on the scene.


I've been on Nairaland with enough antecedence to prove my mettle. I'd rather be déad or deactivate than falsify figures or an argument just to win.

The stereotype isn't exactly wrong. Seafoods are said to be aphrodisiacs.

The Ibibios, Efiks and Ijaws have all their delicacies/meals featuring seafood (especially fresh) more than those who hail from other parts of the country.

There's a correlation between this and why the libidos of these peoples are always very high.

I just checked now. They've been mentioning Disstroy which is inactive as against Disstroyér; little wonder I didn't get the mentions.


2023 is almost here, man. The major actors are moving to camps. The ones who would shape the fate of millions whether from the sidelines or in the 'ring' are meeting.

I still do the back-and-forth on U.S. and international politics but mostly on Facebook on pages and in groups where these things are discussed.

I hope unlike these guys who camp in the backwaters of a Nigerian platform arguing arguing with those they claim have no impact in the outcome of things in the climes they reside in but are so inconsequential nobody takes them seriously in those climes and are nothing more than followers so settle for chestbeating and dickmeasuring with random monikers in the very backwaters of the country platform they spite so much, you try to get actively involved.

State level, national level. Things are taking shape. Already September. Discussing the possible outcomes isn't just enough but actively setting the wheel in motion to decide the outcomes the right way. You should be in the thick of it. Especially as YOUNG person. The Baba has little to lose. He's already to old.

Maybe but there are men who would rather dié than sleep with married women. And these men aren't even religious or anything close.

You'd have to shoot me first before I sleep with a married woman. The day you do so as a man, any trust you can ever have for a female you are romantically intimate with vanishes no matter how faithful she is. You'd always doubt them.

Women who used to sleep with married men always distrust their husbands when they get married. Now you know the correlation.
