Drummer boy right?

kachistone:
Dear OP,all these people you mentioned are of Nigerian descent. I doubt if any of them grew up in Nigeria.

These people grew up in Nigeria and they took their music globally

1. Fela (Even University of Liverpool get Fela music for their curriculum)
2. Sinach (This woman won the song of the year in the Amen awards. The Amen award is the biggest gospel award in the world. "Way Maker is still the biggest Nigerian gospel song to go international).
3. Wiz Kid
4. Davido

Sinach!!!!
What an incredible woman!

TheLoneCitizen:


I never said the terms white or black are racist words. In fact, if a white man calls me "negro" not "nigger" I'm taking no offense, because that's what I am. A negro.

Context is the key here.

Joe said no matter the qualification he will never accept a white coach. That is purely racist.

Let's flip the narrative for example.

If Pep Guardiola tells the media that he will never sign a BLACK player for whatever reason other than health concerns, that's purely racist.

But if Guardiola says he will never sign AFRICANS there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Why? In the first instance he focused mainly on skin colour, which is pure racism.

But in the second instance he focused only on a background or culture, which is opinionated.

So in the second case, even light-skinned Africans like Salah or Ziyech will not be considered by Guardiola.

But dark-skinned non-Africans like Rashford, Lukaku, Sala, Kante do not apply. There's no racism in that.

In the case of Joe, he said grassroot football is very important so he doesn't want white coaches. That is racism, because he focuses just on skin colour to draw his selection.

What he should have said was foreigners as that focuses on background and culture, not skin colour.

This is were I had to correct him.

I don't think it's racial to say such
I believe what was intended to say, is nigeria has had their own fair share of white or foreign coaches. It's high time we switch preference to our very own.

TheLoneCitizen:

Chelsea is a short-term club, nothing to do with Mourinho. Just last season, they sold Tomori and Zouma, to buy Kounde for a more expensive fee.
If Chalobah wasn't a goal-scoring defender, Chelsea would never have given him a chance no matter how good he was.

Do you realise how many stars of today Mourinho has molded from scratch? For Afena-Gyan's debut goal, Mourinho snubbed more established stars like Zaniolo, Perez and Mayoral because he trusted in youth.

The Pogba you're talking about has fallen out with every United coach. Solksjaer couldn't trust him weeks before his sack. Carrick can't even trust him as interim.

True
My man Pedro has suffered in the hands of the one they call Mourinho

Well yeah
I didn't see any competition there

OlogoJ:
All this hoopla about MpuruMmiri is an after-thought and hypocritical as far as I am concerned. When the news media was awash with reports of numerous igbos being busted for peddling drugs in foreign countries, these activists were mute and dumb. But now that the chicken has come home to roost, they're making noise upandan.

Being active traders don't make them prominent users
Infact a large percentage of drug sellers don't actually use the drug they sell out
Obviously getting addicted to what you sell is bad for business.
Igbos aren't the highest consumers of drugs in Nigeria and that's a fact.
Meth isn't a new thing but springing up awareness about its dangers, now that's commendable

obynzo:


Bro in all honesty if NDLEA give you statistics of drug users, it will shock you that the South West is the highest followed by the north. As far back as 2006 SK consumption was already reaching epidemic levels in small surulere then you can imagine places like Island,Lekki and Mushin. It is so bad that codeine and Tramadol is child's play to them.

True

Queenslander:
What's so funny dumbo?

Nigeria has long teetered on the precipice of failure. Like a partially failed state, But now, this shit government is unable to keep its citizens safe and secure.

Nigeria's lists of problems is enormous!!

It lacks security, is unsafe, has weak rules of law, is corrupt, limits political participation and voice, discriminates within its borders against various classes and kinds of citizens, etc,.
Nigeria has become a fully failed state of critical geopolitical concern. Its failure matters because the peace and prosperity of Africa and preventing the spread of disorder and militancy around the globe depend on a stronger Nigeria.

Remember, Nigeria played a positive role in promoting African peace and security. With state failure, it can no longer sustain that vocation, and no replacement is in sight. Our security challenges are already destabilizing the West African region in the face of resurgent jihadism, making the battles of the Sahel that much more difficult to contain. And spillover from Nigeria’s failures ultimately affect the security of Europe and the United States..

No insults pls.
I just found u calling it a state hilarious.
Perhaps u misread me

Queenslander:
sir? Could you keep your mouth shut?

You talk too much,..

How many citizens benefits from Nigeria? Ehh

Nigeria is a failed state!!

LMAO!!
She said state!!
���

somehow:


And you're surprised you haven't or didn't benefit?

So why curse where you don't live in?

Your curses are obviously voided.

Obviously understand your patriotism man
But if something ain't right don't say it is.
No to argue Naija matter
E dey give migraine!!

daveP:
oh, c'mon Daniel, this is not about positions now. Its about praises for weekly performance. That's the point. Not about positions. Someone used the excuse of coming to Epl just this season, thus me bringing in Onyeka too, to counter that excuse. There, you have it. The correlation!!


Oh, yes i do keep count in a way.


This won't have happened if Nerdie weekly match day analysis on Nigeria players was still ongoing though. I'm sure Dennis would have gotten his mention from there. Outside that its an all time low. Sincerely.

I loved that weekly analysis.

Queenslander:
smh..
This country is cursed!!

Cursed I tell u
Cursed!!!

You people commenting Igbo Amaka here don't have sense.
Didn't you read the headline?
"cultural superimposition?"
On China?

Before you jump up and down, know when somebody is leading you to slaughter. What do you think that Chinese people that literally killed nearly 70 million of their population to stop "cultural superimposition" will make out after reading this stupid headline?

How do you think they will start seeing Igbo culture after getting to see this headline?

This thread should be reported not Celebrated

No matter how you feel, the terms you use to express it matters.

Make sense of things first.
Keyboard banger.
Superimposition as used by the op stands for a mutual acceptance in culture between both parties.
And in no way is it prohibited In China.
Careful of the news u spread.
As we might know ur life could be on the line right now.

First competing in WWE NXT season one, Gabriel has brought his rebellious nature to groups like The Nexus and The Corre. It was in the vast majority of the attacks by these factions that Gabriel's awesome acrobatics served as the emphatic exclamation mark on each calculated assault. Every time he gracefully executed his body-crushing trademark maneuver, he sent a crystal clear message to each and every WWE Superstar that he was more than just a pretty face.
The self-labeled Darewolf left WWE in January 2015 to travel the world once again in search of new adventures.

Ouch!!

Dailymice:
Winning a Grammy doesn't necessarily mean you sing well or your voice is good. Grammys are actually overrated and the real talented people aren't appreciated. Some singers even reject it these days

Yeah I remember the case of rapper J Cole.
People avoided collabo with him because he outwardly detested a Grammy.
But nevertheless we should celebrate them for achieving such a feat. E no easy at all.
P.S: they are still aspirants for the trophy, not winners.
