Why do yeeboes hate everyone. You people bash the hausa daily on this forum, when some Yorubas reply to defend them you call them slaves. But you are actually the real Nigerian slave.

Change your ways and stop the hatred. I served in the North and they are peaceful people.

[b]Once upon a time, there was a warlord named odumegwu Ikemba Ojukwu. He wrongly fought for the disintegration of Nigeria by trying to carve out a biafran territory. This action led to a civil war and ojukwu's actions led to the death of millions igbos. Instead of standing by them to fight and defend them, he fled cowardly to ivory coast on exile. The actions of the civil war are still unforgiven by the igbos till today. They forgot the then head of state was under a mandate to protect the territorial integrity of Nigeria. Since the head of state was a northerner, igbos have Since hated the north and Yoruba's. They are the major followers of this administration even though its obvious that its not performing. They prefer to suffer and live in penury than vote for the right change. This is why they consider buhari as a wrong candidates whereas had APC presented a young hausa/yoruba in his 40's, they will still label him no good. This is just to educate the ignorant ones about the reason why the igbos decided to follow Jonathan like a fly following a corpse to the grave[/b]

I like D'banj well enough, but that doesn't mean I should hate Don Jazzy, or swallow the nonsense you have written here. Let me address some of your rubbish:

1. Family background. What has family background got to do with anything. How does D'Prince being Don Jazzy's half-brother (different dads) affect D'banj or Don Jazzy? The next thing we'll hear is that Dj Cuppy is the best Dj in Nigeria cos of her family background. Smh.

2. Mo'hits ownership. This is a non starter. Where has Don Jazzy claimed that he "owned" Mo'hits? You say it was a "50-50" partnership, and then you also claim that D'banj "was everything and controlled the label". Haba. Choose one na.

3. Generosity. This is just African mentality (or poor man mentality). Because Don Jazzy doesn't buy a car for his brother, he's a stingy man? D'banj buys some cars for his friends and he becomes "arguably the most generous artiste in Africa"? Na wa oh. You want to know what real generosity is? After the split, this is what Don Jazzy said: "And to end d old era, I will be donating the proceeds of my production catalogue from day one till date to five charity organizations. Thanks. IDJA". That's generosity. And since you're fixated on cars, we all heard the gist that Don Jazzy gave Dr Sid a Land Cruiser as a wedding gift. You mention the new Mavins recruits. Does anyone doubt that Don Jazzy has been a blessing to their lives?

4. Business sense. Don Jazzy is first and foremost a businessman. D'banj is an entertainer. I wonder how anyone can claim D'banj is more of a businessman than Don Jazzy. Don Jazzy has a degree in Business Management for crying out loud. Do you know that Don Jazzy has even ventured into the most profitable business in Nigeria: oil and gas, with his "Mavin Energy" company? Everybody remembers a couple of years ago when Don Jazzy became the first Nigerian to get a bottle of the world's most expensive champagne ($2m). You say there are many music producers and D'banj can simply employ any one. My brother, there is only one Don Jazzy. How many D'banj songs have become household hits in Naija since the split? I honestly can't think of any.

5. Endorsement. D'banj is doing quite well for himself. No doubt about that. But Forbes Africa rated Don Jazzy as the second most bankable star in Africa (only behind Akon). What more can I say?

6. Foundation. D'banj is to be commended for this. Though, see number 3 above.

7. Influence. Now this is just ridiculous. Not sure you even understand the meaning of the word. Don Jazzy is easily the most influential figure in the Nigerian music scene right now. Being seen with a couple of foreigners doesn't make you influential. Don Jazzy was recently rated as one of the most influential Africans alongside the likes of Dangote. And no, D'banj didn't make the list.

8. Diversification. D'banj is more of an entertainer than Don Jazzy. Don Jazzy is a much better producer (not sure D'banj even produces). They've both diversified well into other ventures.

9. Concerts. You claim Mavins have no concert til date, yet they toured the UK a few months ago with their "Mavin UK concert". Open your eyes.

10. Humility. This doesn't deserve any response.


Don't get me wrong. I like D'banj, and I wish they would work together again (just imagine the Koko master on a track like Dorobucci!). Apparently, D'banj also wishes the same (if he can pay the Don enough).

Nobody should try to rubbish Don Baba Jay!

alobam1:
Hmmm. You got it all wrong bro..Dbanj brought the idea of.coming home from London 11years ago and with Donjazzy they had hits upon hits.They built an empire.. They conquered Nigeria and Africa and then Dbanj decided to move further.. If Donjazzy had followed him he would have being much.more.known.. Donjazzy.is a genius I.dont know why he is.comfortable being a local champion. What Dbanj wants is nothing but best of both worlds.. Africa and international. As i.type Dbanjs song is being played on radio Tv on individuals Mobile phones so he is still very very much relevant and has made more than Donjazzt who.prefers to just be in naija claiming chairman while the world moves ahead

alobam1:
. Lol..Would you compare dangote to this scenario?Not at all.He is an.international Guy..A brand..if he has decided to be comfortable just in he's local state where he came from would he have being known the world over?But check him out and you would see..He's advert are even shown on CNN every now and then..Don jazzy should not have being comfortable being just a local Guy..he deserves better..

alobam1:
Just what I was saying with a friend today not knowing something like would make Frontpage..Donjazzy is a local champion that feels being in a single and particular comfort zone..He should be out in the world producing for the likes of Jay Zee kanyee west etc..Abeg Dbanj,Bangerlee all the way..

auntymi:
tnx, bt am nt myopic to fall for such dudes

what a shame What's the link with this your post and Prof. Soludo's article .

Islamic banks do really work, it has really changed the lives of the ordinary Afghan, Pakistani, Yemeni etc.

omonnakoda:
I do not assume you to be an adolescent and see no basis thus far for that claim but I believe you addressed me as one. I have adolescent children so I do not accept that .The fact that we are on the internet does not mean we cannot be courteous. a

omonnakoda:
My point is ssimple Not having a specific kind of degree or training in specific places is not necessarily a recipe for disaster. In many cases people with such degrees have actually caused disaster.Quite the opposite to your hypothesis. That is what I disagree with. That is my view. I have no PARADE aand if I did you could not rain on it. Certainly you would not address me that way if we were debating face to face. I too would not address you that way.Not everyone here is an adolescent

omonnakoda:
do not agree with you actually I just disagreed with your opinion.Nothing personal. No need for all that "rain on your parade" language.At some point one gets too old for that.I see it one. way you see it another. Disagreements are NOT PERSONAL ATTACKS requiring retribution.

I just don't agree with you THAT's ALL

omonnakoda:
We have not yet recovered from the last DISASTER in 2008. There is no specific qualification over and beyond working in the industry that qualifies one to be good at "BANKING" whatever banking maybe. There are several kinds of bank and the meaning changes with development and technology.
Commercial Banking is different from Investment Banking eg .Like I said the last disaster still haunts us today. Some bankers studied Mathematics,Finance,Economics,Business administration,IT Engineering,Operations Management,Accounting,Psychology,marketing,Law to name but a few.
The clam that not being traines at the highest academic levels is a sure recipe fr disaster is bizarre.Others may argue the converse being trained in such a way/place is a sure recipe for disaster. Banking is NOT engineering and there is no formula or science.What works in Germany may not work in France etc. Let us not be slaves to meaningless dogma Anyone with a university degree and inteligenc.


Nice try, bro. But you persuaded no one. Despite your long post you invariably agreed, despite originally unintending to do so, with me that a sound degree is compulsory requirement for anyone with dreams of executive management in the banking profession. And to further rain on your brave parade, lemme still re-emphasise that Onasanya does NOT even have any degree let alone one that is worthy. e aged
22year old can have a good career in Banking,anyone!

ontheair:
Laughable at the professional qualification part! We still will not learn to stop emphasizing on the number of paper quifications, how many of those with Phds, Hazard business review certifications are being questioned daily?!
Perhaps, you should have stopped at your disappointment of his management ability you said above, that makes more sense of judgment subject to confirmation.
Lots of charlatans, uncommitted individual with
zero passion who believe garnering certificates, running out of the country to amass certificates instead of knowledge and experience believing they are experts and can spew all jargons in then name of being educated and with professional qualifications in a nation encouraging such sad trend, is dragging our nation into the wilderness of despair!
Respect.

eleko1:
we need somebody in the mood of Bisi Onasanya/Pat ntomi as Minister of Finance not this Okonjo Wahala who doesn't know her right from left.Anyway,She'll leave there together with the clueless Otuoke fisherman come MAY 29th,2015 for BUHARI.

I am 100% in support of this move by Behar.


The Chairman, Board of trustees of NEDG is also the Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority, Mr. Sola Omole

You only need to watch a little bit of NTA recently to know their level of bias and partisanism


APC are not attending your useless debate if it can't be organised by a neutral body.
