It's not by empty boast sir.

Chai! You wan make I reveal some things.

Well, I’ll work on their emotions.

Don’t ask me how.

Emilo:
I relate with u bro. Remember that small book of songs lyrics we dey buy that year. Emeniem, Ludacris n Redman remain my favorites.

You need to understand rap n what they are saying to enjoy it. But the OP has a good point. Rappers in Nigeria need to make thier song danceable. Nigeria need what to dance to or nod to. Olamide may not be a rapper to me, but he has perfected the act of selling it in Nigeria.

You are right, bro

lolaluv1:
Everything in life is time and season. Even in the US, real HipHop is not really mainstream anymore. It is more of drill, mumbling for the males and puccy lyrics for the females.
And again, the US might not really be receptive to our HipHop the way they were to Afrobeats. Afrobeats is our product and we took it to them. Hiphop is theirs, and[b] how do you sell snow to an Eskimo?[/b]

Also, all the rappers you mentioned are older and accomplished. All that edge and hunger they blaze with early in their career mellows down with age. Personally, I can't compare the Olamide of 2014 to the Olamide of 2022. Production is better, but baba Don dey belleful and e dey show for the voice (I still love him though).
At the end of the day, when it is the turn of Nigerian Hiphop, they will shine irrespective of what they do or not.

Sorry for digressing.

I can sell snow to an Eskimo & even shoes to someone without legs.

Don’t ask me how because it’s one of my strengths & wouldn’t want to share it anyhow

Vinnie2000:
Wizkid's song (Blessed) with Damian Marley is A GREAT SONG.

Infact, Its one Song Wizkid did well Lyrically!

Sorry bro, I barely listen to Nigerian artiste be it wizkid or davido.

I like songs that makes me think critically.

I don’t even know some naija artists if I see them. Ditto actors & actresses.

I care so much about what I feed my mind with.

Though, I’ll try & listen to that track Damian did with wizkid, again.

Hopefully, I’ll come back to tell you what I feel about it.

Enjoy the rest of the night.

These current Nigeria youth are not intellectually inclined & patient enough to listen rap.

I remember I used to dislike reggae and wouldn’t listen to it, even though I smoked weed.

But after listening to some tracks from Damian Marley, I fell in love with reggae that I even introduced Damian Marley songs to one bro wey be Rasta for my hood.

I was surprised when I found out wizkid featured Damian. I really didn’t like that Damian Marley would go so low, considering his lyrics from previous songs I’ve listened to.

Will I say most of what I know or let’s say half, I learned from rap & hip hop.

Those guys can deliver a whole textbook in a 3-5 minutes track.

I remember how I used to buy Eminem’s cds and co when going back to school, then in early 2000.

I would even go to cafes then & print lyrics so tey the guy at the cafe still respect me till date due to that because he never see person solely coming to cafe to download and print rap lyrics

Nas is my favorite.

I noticed this too when I traveled to Lagos some weeks ago.

I was some how surprise & happy

I’m so glad to be an oduduwan

I’d like to ask a question, though.

Do you think it’s “okay” to tip them when they stay with you as you fix your car when it breaks down on the express or happen to stop around their station?

I like appreciating anything that makes me happy or good deeds.

Before his wife could answer, Basketmouth answered for her, saying, "There's nothing. Nothing."

"Am I not supposed to answer the question?" Elsie asks jokingly.

Basketmouth then tells her she knows he's right.

Simps deserve whatever they get. The conversation up there speaks volume about the type of men that are served breakfast. A real nigga should not have jumped to answer that question without allowing the other gender to go first. When I tell niggas that vaginarians apply common sense pass some of us, they no dey gree but that's the truth. See her responses to that question again and judge for yourself.

Nice one. Nice one.

I’m glad you were able to spot that.

Interesting.

Basketball abi na basket mouth really fk for there.

He allowed that “love chemical” produced in the brain take over his logical reasoning.

From the lady’s reply she just “liked” him, which I think is not solid reason to stay with him till death do them part.

Realists:
"Things will always change"
Tupac Amaru Shakur. However only Allah never changes.

Who’s “Allah”?

Is he also the same Christian god called “jehovah”, “Yahweh”?

imagrg:
Aliens are creatures from outer space. I encountered them at Auchi in Edo State some years back when I was strolling with two friends along Warrake Road. They were in a tray-like oval enclosure suspended about 40 feet above the ground.
We were frightened by this sight. But after about 6 minutes it disappeared from sight.
So, I think all talks about the aliens are true.

Please, how big do you think it was, length wise and breathe.

BabaAgba79:
I did not travel abroad b4 I knew all these. In fact, I got to know this from the university having being exposed to much studies as a Literature student. Travelling abroad is good but nothing to brag about. Na poverty dey make person think this way! Religion is a big scam! Opium of the masses! I demistyfied poverty, godism, and religion! Pls, be enlightened b4 u travel!

Interesting.

Please sir, can you explain a little how you were able to “demistyfy” poverty?

Though, I’ve come to realize that poverty is not necessarily the lack of cash but a thing of the mind.

Thank you. Sir.

Thank god I don dey “dereligionize” myself sef for Nigeria.

I’m a gnostic Christian slowly but steadily evolving into an atheist.

I’ve known religion to be scam.

God delivered Paul & Silas but couldn’t deliver late Deborah & the worshippers in owo massacre.


Modified: Leah Sharibu also comes to mind.

I hope religious people ask questions.

DanAugust2021:
I hope you ready drugs wey you go take if in case any of these local dish relocate you from your bedroom to toilet as you dey travel sample different food so?

Chai! Bros, why you wan discourage me like this

Well, I have a strong immune system but I’ll still consider what you advised.

Chai!

I go like try am & it looks like it’ll be fine for snacking.

I like trying out new foods

In fact, I’d like to travel round the world just to sample different foods from different cultures.

Especially, the local cuisines.

OurTruth24:
Calling something a conspiracy theory doesn't make it untrue. I wonder if some of you even know the meaning of the word..

The gulf of Tolkien, Operation Northwoods, Operation Savannah and Nayirah Testimony were all conspiracy theories that have been proven as true. I doubt you've ever heard of the aforementioned.

I once read in a book written by late Fela where he talked about sighting ufo, when he was at home with some of his family and friends.

He said a lady that present then & sitting close to the window also saw it.

Only late Abami eda & the woman saw it.

I only wonder why ufos are rarely sighted in Africa.

Is it because those ultra intelligent guys feel “nothing” is happening in Africa?

thestreets:
u dey talk early 40. 1 day alone self too much 4 your story to change. #Fact

Thanks bro.

Thanks for the word of encouragement.

I just don’t know why.

I can’t marry a nonvirgin.

I know if I’m able to hustle enough money before or early 40, I will settle for a very young virgin.

I don’t mind gromming her.

These guys should just be given the Biafra they ask for.

All these nonsense they are doing has a ripple effect on Nigeria & Nigerians in all ramifications.

Well, I’m hoping to ditch Nigeria as my country in the future , only if Oduduwa republic is realized will I want to come back after I don successfully japa to Europe, come 2023.

WTF MAN!

Wicked being.

Many men don go down in between those legs.

After experiencing all these under buhari/apc, if you still wan vote Tinubu or atiku, continue.

No one will preach to you again.

Ę ti kú.

I laugh

It’s been exactly a year I relocated to where I am currently: a state in SW.

I went to Lagos for couple of days for some documents and decided to check my former neighborhood.

See as people dey hail me say I don change o, that I look way better than when I was in Lagos.

Some even advise me not to stay too long o.

Despite the fact that I don’t have a “job” here, though I have something I do that fetch me between 5h & 1k daily.

Compared to Lagos where I was making about 5k daily from my hustle. I still looked better in appearance.

I have a very comfortable house I stay, clean running water, green scenery roundabout, large yard, fresh food straight from the farm and lastly mosquitoes no con dey .

From here, na to japa remain.

No going back to live in Lagos, though I fit go dey flex from time to time, if I want.

I swear most people living in Lagos desire to leave but can’t because they are stuck in the rat race, while some like it because of the madness in Lagos because it’s entertainment to them.

A friend of mine relocated to Ondo state some weeks ago.

When we spoke on phone last night, he told me that was the best decision he has taken in years.

Btw, my family has a house in Lagos that has been unoccupied since last year.

I care so much about my mental, emotional and overall well-being.

Na who never go Lagos before e dey freak.

In Nigeria, anywhere I see people gather either for fun or anything, I just avoid them.

There’s this evil aura most Nigerian carry.

I don’t know if anyone notice this.

Yet to try that sh!t.

Hopefully I won’t

There is no “God”.

And if there is, “he” doesn’t care.

Bro, these your pons stories dey always make me Laff.

There was this girl I was smashing & her boyfriend call came in.

The girl begged me to keep silent that it’s her “serious boyfriend”.

I no send. Just kept banging away.

Stoopid girls

Sorry for you if you born for this country.

Your kids will pay gbese they dint chop.

Believe that gender’s word at your own risk.

Less people to worry about



The world needs to lower its population if humanity is to continue

I don’t know why I like your comment, despite the bad news.

Maybe it’s because I’m a closet misanthropist.

I know the mooslims reading this will be feeling type of way.

I hope you have read that piece that talked about slave trade app in Saudi.

Foolish headslammers.

englishmart:
My girlfriend told me she was going to Dubai. Someone with zero skill. I knew it was definitely for prostitution. I didn't breakup. Once, once she sends me money. On Christmas day she sent me #250k. She can kee herself there if she wishes. I asked her what she did in Dubai, and she said cleaning. I pretented to believe her. Who am I not to?

I like what you did there
