Sisikill, I thought the showbiz train u referenced was the legit Hollywood shikena.

I hope it is not some cheap knock off  

where the kanny in 'kannywood' derive from?

So Sisikill. . . .are you some kinda connoisseur of Northern Nigerian artefacts
or ur interest is more errr wetin be the word sef hereditary??

MC Usman:
Despite our culture kind of mixed with Islamic norms, yet we still have distinct cultural and traditional values that are entirely indigenous. Our Poetry exists in an oral tradition, as practiced by the praise singers and the oral historians, and also in the written tradition of the learned. Just like inn other west African countries, lutes  & other music instruments, which include drums as well as string is an integral part of Hausa Music and something is purely native.

Tourist despite terrorist attack and kidnapping still flock the desert oasis and pyramids of Egypt as well as other Arab countries.
Even without the so call violence and anachronistic religious mindset I can not see tourist on the streets of southern cities in Nigeria.

The simple reasons why it is easy to sight a tourist in all Western African countries than in Nigeria is because of one problem. High Crime rate.

A Whiteman in respective of his country or status is a must target once he is outside the confine and security of his hotel.
On the other hand a tourist in other west African countries can be seen walking freeing in cities and villages.

Well said, but you cannot discount the recent surge of economic tourism if u like that has flowed into the South.

Besides, the South is not littered with anything remotely interesting to a tourist. the architecture is pretty mundane,
and the history a lot less grandiose and more fragmented than the wholesale jihadist revolution that occured in the
North.

Now what I would say is, whatever kinda media blanket, enforced or voluntary
that has immobilised the outgoing ministers, should please be removed.

Say what you like about Obj, his garrulousness, unfortunate at times, created
a positive perception, where people felt the country was going somewhere.

The country needs ministers that will adequately tell a positive story and lift spirits
that have been down for the past year or so of the Yaradua administration.

isbelhma:
is mantu not a nigerian? can u please leave his excellency along, now that he his resting.
he still remain a factor in nigerian politics and govt. affairs

if yorubas still respect that gorrila called obasanjo as their hero after stealing our money
and sleepnig with his sons wife now telling us he want to be close to god therefore becoming
the only hero of the yorubas.

what offence has mantu done that will make not to serve again.

your excellency.you still remain relevantin naija[color=#990000][/color]

You are an electronic idiot. . . . .

And may your life be inextricably linked with heroes that fleece you till your death.

Now like the automaton you are. . . . . .say amen

Okay this is all well and good. . .

But on the other hand, Northerners in Nigeria will argue that this
cultural heritage is firmly linked with its Islamic and Arab roots, hence
the need for Sharia etc.

I would argue though there is contrary evidence from say Senegal where
culturally they have been able to safeguard their heritage without the recourse
to violence and an anachronistic religious mindset.

As a matter of fact this regression might be the reason why a tourist would rather
head to the the other West African countries of similar ilk than they would the North.

And as these pictures show, its quite a shame

I must say, the architecture is truly impressive. . . .They have a quirkiness
almost reminiscent of Barcelona's Gaudi.

Its a shame we do not see modern developments on such beautiful themes

None of the ghastly gross tasteless buildings that all these thieves have put up
in our metropolis.

But someone explain to me why Northern music is more akin to Ethiopia's than
closer neighbours such as the Kora influenced Niger or Mali or Senegal

I will place a wager. . . .the Giants don't go past the first round of the playoffs.

Their bubble will burst at the tail end of the season. . . .

Mark my words

Now can someone explain to me why Northern Nigerian music has more similarities
with that of the Horn of Africa especially Ethiopia than it does with close neighbours
like Mali or Niger. What's with the synthesizer na

But the architecture is quite stunning especially those palaces.

So Sisikill, which tribe you be sef?

The Sox are out as well. . .Got beat by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Say what you like about baseball, you have to admit its prolly the most
democratic of all the major sports.

A big wage bill does not often equate to titles.

At various times in my life, i have been called chimney chaffer. . . .

Now I am a responsible gentleman.   Is it not obvious  

jennykadri:
from ur post u made it look as if non smokers r judging d smokers,I'm very correct about that

Come Come. . . I hear Van Vicker is showing up at the premiere of his movie at PEN CINEMA Agege.
Make ur way there

U enter here come dey offer opinion

Abeg gerraway

how does that song GO

Stop the fight- - - - -You may lose ur life

City still has a long way to go, and even before this match I knew
the hype over Robinho's arrival would soon die down

The boy is a letdown. His game has regressed since his time at Santos.
Holds on to the ball too long and seems to want to lord it on the field
like a star.

The real steal for Man City has been SWP, although yesterday's game
wasn't his best.

A significant area of weakness for the team is at the defensive midfield position
where Kompany's distribution is pretty atrocious.

Well there is a lot of money in the kitty, January will certainly be interesting
in the blue half of Manchester.

vescucci:
Lol!

The poll is giving me no joy! There are too many extremely optimistic people or there are too many dumb people. The dumb people are sure to come after me. So if you come after me, know you are dumb.

You sound like the chap who wrote the Nollywood classic Beyonce and Rihanna

Robert Jarni at center back. . . . Mubarak should pick u Jackal to

Dayo. . .no mind them

I don see Van der Meyde play RB wellu wellu, especially when he dey Inter.

I say, I be ur no 1 fan.

Ur analysis of the crap English game is spot on/

Germany is the shiznit. . . . .I remember watching Autschwitz FC  

debosky:
Not as creative as you think  - no one in his right mind would play Van Hoiijdonk on the wing, thats akin to playing Shearer as a winger.

Van Bommel at CB is also a bit tenuous. Nice attempt though.

make una leave Dayokanu alone sef. . . .U people just can't wait to attack the brother

Na when una go drive am comot from the thread, you will realise the forum is poorer for it.

Dayo you can play Hans Van Breukelen up front if you want. . . .Na ur prerogative  

I support you anyday

Ol boy. . . .So you are into sports stars. What do you know

I am living Cricket legend. . . .Do I qualify too

JeSoul:
Nah I don't mind. I host a local music/talk tv show out here in Boston. Are you into media as well?

A living media star in our midst. You know, New England isn't sounding
that bad a holiday destination after all

bawomolo:
guys like joakim noah and kevin durant are not going to beef up that much. kevin durant is just too lean. he has skills though. the question is would he be able to[b] bang with the marcus camby's and co [/b]

There are many verbs one could associate with Macus Camby. . . bang no be one of them

So are the metal scrappers here trying to insinuate making a film
beyond a two week period confers some sort of certified quality.

I would think not. . . .There are numerous examples in Hollwood
and especially Europe of films made within such short time frames and have
proved to be of exceptional quality.

Micheal Hanekes films come to mind.

I think the problem with Nollywood is the blockbuster mentality. A penchant for films
with the Rambo soundtrack and punchline or Celine Dion accompaniments.

A good focused script will always help detract the audience from a flawed technical production.
