Bought roasted plantain from dat woman beside GTB on itire rd, I almost lost all my teeth. Sand full the plantain the groundnut nko? Half na stones.

Few nights later, I go buy suya for ogunlana drive, same thing sand.
Pls wat is there to miss?

Ah! That woman for ekololu junction roasted plantain ain't bad at all. You probably went on a bad day...

Meanwhile, try Akerele suya spot next time

Elnino4ladies: This thread wil be useful if those riff raff stop deraillin it.....d way i speak is aweful *no shame*...i nid practical ways 2 improve on it...

Oh! Not far fetched.. It's "awful"

My advice, read more. Do less TV, more reading...

Educate yourself by reading, reduce entertaining yourself, by watching less TV.

Mavin Records’ up and coming act, Korede Bello, tells Saturday Beats how he got into music and met popular producer and Mavin Boss, Don Jazzy

The social media was set on fire last weekend with Korede Bello’s ‘wink.’ What is it really about?

I would be lying to you if I tell you that I know how it came about because prior to when we released the Dorobucci video, I did not even know that I winked in that video. But after the video was released, people were just commenting on my social media pages that they liked the wink. Everybody was just talking about the wink; the buzz was not really on the video, so I decided to tell my fans to put up pictures of them doing the wink and alert me.


We learnt you said bead of sweat got into your eyes in the video and that was how the wink came about…

I never said anything like that. If you listen to my part of the song, you would see that the wink actually complemented my part in the video.




How did you get involved in music?



I started doing music a long time ago. It started when I began to listen to the songs played by my parents; they both loved different kinds of songs. My father loved the indigenous music while my mother preferred foreign music. I grew up listening to diverse music. I fell in love with music and it fell in love with me. When I was in school, I was always participating in social activities and I represented my school in acting, dancing and singing competitions. My first music group was formed with my friend when we were in primary six and that is when I wrote my first song. When I got into secondary school, it was a different ball game. I was better and more into writing songs. But when I got into senior secondary school, I began professional music by recording my songs in the studio. My first official single was recorded when I was in secondary school.

Didn’t your parents have any problem with you getting involved with music at such an early stage?

I love my parents so much and one of the reasons is because they support me and would put their money on anything that would make me happy. I came from them and they love music and they love supporting their son. The only issue they had, especially my mother, was my staying out late. She did not want me to stay out late because as of then, I was just writing my West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination. I had to be in the studio mostly at night and my mother did not really like that. Aside from that, everything was fine. My father got me my first guitar and paid for my first studio session. They are big fans of Korede Bello right now.

Did your involvement with music while in school affect your studies in any way?

One of the reasons my parents supported my music while I was in school was because I was not a dullard. I was doing very well in school and it motivated them to support me. My teachers were also very supportive because I was doing very well in school. At the end of the day, you cannot really serve two masters, it would have been better if I was concentrating on music or my studies solely but I thank God for giving me the grace to balance both and still come out great.

Why is it that you sing love songs?

One of the reasons I want people to really know Korede Bello is because I haven’t put out so many songs and the ones I have are love songs. I want to put out more songs for people to know that I am beyond love songs. My brand preaches love and it could come in songs you can dance to, highlife and different formats not just the conventional slow rhythm.

How did you meet Don Jazzy?

Since I started music, God has always been good to me. I can never be grateful enough. One thing I have learnt is that once it is time, it is actually your time. The truth is that if anyone had told me about two years ago that I would be working with Don Jazzy, I would say it was a big lie but I am working with him right now. A lot of people listen to your songs but it takes just one person to make a difference in your life. That is what happened to me because I released a song called ‘Forever’ and people loved it but it just took one person to listen to it and introduced me to Don Jazzy’s friends. They were also astounded by what they heard and they introduced me to Don Jazzy. He invited us to the studio with my manager, Casmir, we recorded some songs and that was it. When he heard my song, he said that I was a mega super star and that was it.

How did you feel the first day you met him?

Before I met him, I was a big fan of Don Jazzy. I would not lie. I did not feel like a mega super star, I felt really humbled. I was reserved on the outside but on the inside, I kept telling myself that it was really Don Jazzy. At the end of the day, when there is music in the air, everybody is on the same level. I always feel inspired when I am with Don Jazzy, there is no dull moment. When we are having our musical session, everything becomes a sound to us. From the way we laugh to the sound of a knock on the door, anything can be used to make music.

What has the experience been working with him?

Working with Don Jazzy has been a blessing and a learning process for me both in my career and as a person. There is a difference between doing perfect music and doing the kind of music everybody loves. That is where Don Jazzy is different from other producers, it is a great gift to be good at what you do and be able to communicate it to people. Working with Don Jazzy has taught me that it is not entirely about your talent but it has to do with packaging and marketing the right thing.

Aside from the prestige of being on Don Jazzy’s record label, what other benefits have you got?

It brought me a lot of things, things that a mega superstar can be recognised with, money, cars and a house. That is why we are called mega super stars.

So many up and coming artistes usually leave the record label that brought them up once they are established and popular. Do we see you dumping Mavin one day?

That is a very interesting question that I have been trying to avoid lately. Personally, I think that God would take you to wherever He wants to regardless of the label. I don’t know what was in the mind of people that have done such a thing so I cannot tell why they did what they did but I can speak for myself and I believe God would take me to where He wants to take me to no matter where I am.

People have the notion that when someone sings about love often, he is a womaniser. Are you a womaniser?

I am not a womaniser, I love. I have been loved and I love seeing people who are in love but that does not make me a womaniser. It just makes me a loving person.

Are you in a relationship?

I am actually in a relationship with my fans that I call Bellovers. I am also in a relationship with God.

Do you have a girlfriend?

I have no comment on that.

Your label mate, Dr. Sid, got married recently, when do you plan to get married?

If Don Jazzy is not married, I cannot think about it. If my boss has not got married, why should I be thinking about it?

What are you currently working on?

I am working on more singles and more songs. I want more people to know who Korede Bello is beyond the musician.

Had wild thoughts about this, and decided to share.

"If there has been a first man he must have been born without father or mother – which is repugnant to nature. For there could not have been a first egg to give a beginning to birds, or there should have been a first bird which gave a beginning to eggs; for a bird comes from an egg."

The same he held good for all species, believing, with Plato, "that everything before it appeared on earth had first its being in spirit."

"...the problem about the egg and the hen, which of them came first, was dragged into our talk, a difficult problem which gives investigators much trouble. And Sulla my comrade said that with a small problem, as with a tool, we were rocking loose a great and heavy one, that of the creation of the world..."

Macrobius (early 5th century), a Roman philosopher, found the problem to be interesting:

"You jest about what you suppose to be a triviality, in asking whether the hen came first from an egg or the egg from a hen, but the point should be regarded as one of importance, one worthy of discussion, and careful discussion at that."

In System of Nature by Baron D'Holbach (1770, translated into English in 1797), he asks "was the animal anterior to the egg, or did the egg precede the animal?" (part 1, chapter 6).

It's just purely stupid...either the anti-bomb squad has been idle for so long, they need the FG to pump more money into their department...

All in all...it's all staged...Maybe by the religious bigots, BH boys, the police or the FG themselves..

ELEMENT OF TRUTH DEY THAT HER TORI....

WOMEN WICKED PASS AS YOU DEY THINK OOOO

mikyke: Hello friends my name is IK, this was or still is the experience I had/am having as the case maybe. I may not be a constructive writer but will try to pass the message across in simple words and as short as possible.

Av been dating my girl for 3yrs now, and we both have bn so happy in it. During this period av never cheated on her as I promised to stay faithful; this may sound strange and impossible but believe when I say I did it. We stood by each other no matter what the problem was and have always come out even stronger than we went into such problem.

To cut the long gist short. About 3wks ago, I called her as usual to know how she was faring (she is based at kaduna while am based in Abuja) but she didn't not pick and did not call back after so many missed calls. This waas strange as it has never happened in our r/ship since we started dating. This prompted curiosity in me.

After about 2days she called me and was crying profusely and she said I quote "my knight I want a breakup I have messed myself up and not worthy of dating a guy like you, you are too nice to be treated the way I just did" and she hung up without allowing me say a word. I became so confused.

A breakup was the least I expected reason being that we were happy together. So many attempt to reach her failed. I called her elder sis and she said she left home since yesterday and is yet to be seen, I felt devastated and and couldn't concentrate @ work. Well after about 2 or 3 days I was lucky to reach her and told her to please calm down and explain wat hapend to me when I come to kaduna. The next day I was off to kaduna so bright and early and @ kaduna I got the shock of my life. When I asked her why a breakup that we've been so happy together in her words she said "my knight please forgive me. I messed up and am paying for my mistake. I cheated and now am pregnant". In my confused state, so many thoughts were running through my mind; could she be testing me? If not, has she bn cheating on me for the past 3yrs? Where did I get it wrong that she had to cheat on me? Haven't I given my all already in this r/ship? Those questions became rhetorical. Tears wasted no time rolling down my cheeks.

Crying profusely She knelt down and said " I know av lost you already but all I nid is your forgiveness". She also said the guy responsible ran away when she told him about the preg. I felt so angered but didn't utter a single word. In my mind a thought came up; how could something that has given me joy for the past 3yrs turn out to be a source of sadness and sorrow to me. I stood up said I forgive you, and left.

After about 2wks of restlessness, feeling betrayed and fooled which is about 4 days ago, I called her and told her I wanted her back, that I want to stand by her through this period like av always done in the past (I was ready to do so). Just to save her the shame I opted to be the father of the child. Despite her infidelity I was ready to continue loving her like nothing happened between us. I sent her 10k to register for antenatal care and buy somethings she needed for the mean time. Just yesterday my phone rang, it was her number calling when I picked she said "my knight, you just proved to me that real love still exists in this world. You were ready to take up another man's responsibility just for my sake despite knowing I cheated.

We have dated for 3yrs now and I wanted to be sure of what am seriously getting into, to know if you are worth waiting for and now I know you truly love me and am grateful to God for sending my way. I love you" and she dropped the call. I stared @ my fone for more than 2munites wondering what just happened. I was having a mixed feeling; happy that she wasn't preg or cheated and angry that I had to go through 2wks of agonizing pain and emotional torture just to prove my love. I stood dumbfounded for close to 10mins and finally said to myself man up and continue in it (r/ship).

N/B she sent back my 10k without being asked to just to prove that she wasn't in of it.

My question to the ladies is this. Will U go this extent just to know if your man loves you? And don't forget that you could lose even the right guy in this process. We see life differently as what works for Mr A may not work for Mr B.
For the guys what will you do if your girl plays this prank or stunt with you. Some how I feel like a fool but I love her and was willing to stand buy her.

Pls let's constructively admonish ourselves. Abeg no insult me coz I did as my head and heart said. Na pesin wey wear shoe knw wia e dey pain am.

Babe wey try am with me don get belle for someone else sef...

There are some boss remarks that are so counterproductive that the best strategy is simply to bite your tongue:

1. "We've always done it this way." This is not a reason for doing something. It's a reason for the boss to avoid the work of rethinking the problem or situation.

2. "Just figure it out." Employees don't ask the boss how to do something when they can figure out how to do a difficult task themselves.

3. "I don't have time for this." It can be frustrating when employees put demands on you, but a boss's primary function is to ensure employees can do their own jobs.

4. "You think that you're stressed?" Any competition to see who's more stressed is truly a waste of mental effort.

5. "Is this the best you can do?" Well, yes, it probably is the best that the employee can do. And if it's not, do you really think that the employee will admit that?

6. "Just do as I say." This remark may work with children, but employees need to know the "why" behind the "what" and "how."

7. "Sorry to interrupt your vacation, but..." If something goes wrong while an employee is on vacation, the boss should chalk it up to his own lousy planning.

8. "Your predecessor did a better job." This is ultimate unhelpful remark. All it does is make the employee feel bad without any way to improve performance.

9. "You're lucky that you have a job." On hearing this, the best employees start looking for a different job and the worst ones freeze up, worrying that they'll be fired.

10. "That's a dumb idea." A remark like this, especially when delivered during a brainstorming session, ensures that employees never surface another idea.

11. "You're doing a lousy job." When employees are floundering, the boss needs to throw them a rope, not point out that they're about to drown.

12. "You look cute today." Just don't go there. Ever.

13. "What's wrong with you?" It's insulting enough to be told that you're wrong, but it's beyond insulting to imply that the wrongness is part of who you are.

14. "Why are you so lazy?" To be useful, criticism must address the behaviors than need changing, not character or personality issues.

15. "I knew you'd fail." If the boss knew that the employee would fail, why assign that project? To make the employee feel bad?

16. "I told you so." Even if (especially if) you warned the employee that an approach wouldn't work, gloating should be beneath you.
