The way boys dey drop science for here, e be like man go soon retire sef. DBR, abi na Mode9 done dey write your sturvs sef?

Nice one to everybody here. I dey see una. I go soon come.

Jonathan could not unseat Bankole so they finally had to settle. Any rep that was coerced into the plot should go and settle with Bankole. It is pertinent to note that the reps who tried to oust bankole have now "withdrawn their suit in the interest of peace". In other words, they were never interested in the issues they accused Bankole of but were simply political jobbers hired to do a hatchet job. Beware these men who will sell their conscience for a slice of the National cake. Although Bankole is a thief himself, I hope God will use him as the hand of Jethro to throw the book at these unscrupulous reps. They are no different from the Ogun 9.

Funny sturvs, but you spoiled the joke by attacking those who didn't get the joke. Which kain comedian you be sef. Are you the type of comedian that boos your own crowd?

@ Dr Kit,

Na only human being wey no look face go dey acknowledge dog when dog enter house. I apologise say I no look face before I begin acknowledge the ODE!

Well done to Ms Sylva

@ Beaf,

There is no other mans cross except you are accusing me of holding brief for IBB. I carry no cross except the cross of my conscience.

I was taught that circumstantial evidence is admissible in court if built on step by step basis.

(a.)The first step to dismissing my post as innuendo is to assume that GEJ never spoke to Uduaghan about the Warri bombings.

If (a.) Is the case, then you will agree that denotes irresponsibilty on the part of a National leader.

(B) Otherwise, the second step then would be to acknowledge that the matter was quietly dropped.

I have only laid out several circumstantial prologues as to why that may be the case. You may disagree whether these provide just cause or not but you cannot disagree with (a) or (b).

Fed Govt has always been responsible for the security of all citizens. Any argument to the contrary has no foundation.

Secondly, it is the height of naivety to assume that discussions on the Warri bombing never took place between GEJ and Uduaghan. The obvious outcome of that discussion was to let the matter die a quiet death so as not to wash Niger Deltas dirty laundry in public, most probably with a view to preventing embarassment of Niger Delta sons at both Federal and State levels. It is common knowledge that the world of these politicians and militants are highly intertwined so any debate on the subject would bring out unwanted info. It is also common knowledge that GEJ and Uduaghan were regular visitors to Camp 5 pre-amnesty and that there is no politician in Bayelsa and Delta without first hand dealings with the central character. This is not conjecture, just circumstantial evidence to consider.

Eldee,

I put you on the spot about his verses to forego all dribbling about singing, production etc.

Since you sef no fit carry mouth talk say in sabi rap, case done close.

So anytime wey we dey list top new rappers, no try join BOB name cos you sef no fit vouch for in rapping skill.

As for anybody wey take style misyarn, na pesin wey no look face go dey greet dog when e enter room. Dat one na coded message.

BOBs verses are just fillers inbetween choruses. True or False?

You can't blame Eldee. His biggest HipHop influence is Kanye. Its not a long leap from Kanye to likes of Kid Kudi and BOB. A house built on wrong foundation can never stand. If his early influences were likes of Big Pun, Big L, Canibus etc, he would not be yarning such opata.

Make sure its Mood Muzik 1 and 2. I can't speak on 3 cos I never heard it.

@ hax,

You can't have listened to any of the Mood Muzik mixtapes for you to claim Joey is wack. Joey has more depth than all Slaughterhouse Members, and for that reason I put him as my 2nd favourite behind Crooked. Slaughtahouse battle rap formats is not the best platform to express his topical raps. Just download the Mood Muzik mixtapes. I never recommend nonsense.

@ df2006, Thanks for the offer. Shebi I fit stay for your house?

@ Wesley,

The MEND I recognise is not the Ateke them I see on AIT being crowned as spokespeople for Niger Delta.

You just dey wake up?

Why do you assume that everytime we talk about talented rappers, we are talking about gangsta rap.

Nna, keep your misguided sentiments to yourself. BOB is plain wack and that has nothing to do with him being gangsta or not. Emcees like Lupe, Mos Def etc have no gangsta credentials but they still get our respect anyday of the week.

If BOB considers himself a singer, producer reh reh reh, I'd advise him to stick to that rather than boring us with his unimaginative raps. Very soon I won't see difference between Lady Gaga and BOB. I'm sure Lady Gaga can do HipHop album as well if BOB can.

I'm sorry that niggas like Donnel Jones etc are no longer around to compare with BOB, cos I sure won't be comparing him to others in rap category.

The day you wanna bring BOB into out HipHop conversations, you might as well bring Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. Shebi they make "good music" as well. WE ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!

@ Wesley,

Trust, I know what MEND means to Niger Deltans. Ask around.

@ There's nothing like good pop music as concerns a HipHop album, especially when your verses are just fillers inbetween pop choruses.

I can point you to several HipHop albums where the emcee was not at his lyrical best, but where the album was a classic for its HipHop content and its recognisable Soul funk and G funk influences (all derivatives of HipHop). THE CHIEF EXAMPLE OF THIS IS KURUPT "STREETZ IS A MUTHA".

Do your research nigga.

If you don't wanna do no research refrain from chatting jagbajantis where niggas are discussing HipHop. WE DONT ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES! Otherwise take your analysis to Perezhilton.com!

Only a punk like Debo would be questioning Lukakus credentials in this day and age. I blame the proliferation of ice hockey coverage on Canadian TV for this glaring oversight.

Find me a boy that can cop 206 goals in one season playing against niggas 4 years older than him in Belgian academy leagues, a boy that was topscorer in Belgian league at age 16, a boy that performed exceptionally in Europa League last season, and is currently top scorer in UCL, a 17 year old boy who is already a mainstay of his National side - and yet some nincompoops are questioning his credentials.

My only advice to Lukaku is to come to a club that will utilise his power, pace and preciseness, not wonkers who flaff around trying to put 100 passes together before attempting a shot on goal.

The day Lukaku signs for Arsenal is the day RVP and Chamakh will hand in transfer request "in furtherance of their desire to play more first team football".

Quote me binshes!

@ Dayo,

What do you expect from Debo?

If Arsenal had chance to sign Messi today, would he still be typing that Walcott should rather be given a chance because THE MAIN PRIORITY IS DEFENCE? Can you see the stupidity of his argument?

Instead of the charlatan to admit that he doesn't know Lukaku from Adam and had mistakenly underestimated the boy, he is here waffling and typing all sorts of ballacks.

@ Eldee,

The hood decides who wins rap battles. The DJs at Hot 97 and Raypower FM keep their ear to the street and they decide who won, not the casual white HipHop fans.

And by the way, if you tell me nonsense about Shooting Stars again, I will send goons to yank your ethernet cable from your PC.

I agree that J Cole is not ready for battle yet cos Jigga is selfish. He don't like no young gun shining below him, and would not back J Cole. Cole needs to release his album, get some more of the hood on his side. If J Cole even sells 300k and most of his fans are from the hood, he will likely win any showdown with Drake.

Its not good enough to admit that nobody investigated previous bomb blasts. There was nothing to investigate sef cos MEND already owned up to the previous blast. Its only when the blast makes GEJ campaign look bad that he deems it necessary to investigate. In Nigeria, life is cheaper than image.

Meanwhile Mr President says he was not absolving MEND, but he sent Presidential Jet to PH to go and pick up militants to come to Abuja and absolve MEND.

And Debosky puts his foot in his mouth again.

Who doesn't know that Lukaku is a beast already and already twice as prolific as guys old enough to be his father?

Even me sef, when I saw him linked with Arsenal, fear catch me cos I thought we already had him penned in as the only natural replacement for Drogba.

JET ko, JET ni!

Correction Eldee, you like Good POP music!

What's good about the monosyllabic twot called BOB rapping about "back when nobody listened to mixtape"?

I can't take anyone serious who was here hyping the quality of "Shooting Stars". Of getting a white emo chick to lace the hook is the only criteria for making good music, why not listen to Chipmunk instead.

I blame real niggas like myself for the current proliferation of wackness. If niggas like me hadn't stopped buying albums, guys like BOB would not be see the light of day. His success is down solely to the white casual HipHop fan. Niggas don't respect BOB in the hood. I have never heard his name mentioned in any conversation where niggas discuss good rappers. Even an ol' gee like Sir Luscious Leftfoot could not garner any sales till he released that "follow us" track with them Rock n Roll guys. Its a shame.

Trust the day where the white casual HipHop fan becomes the arbiter of what is good music is the only day negros like Eldee can have a say. Oh I forgot.

Mode9 stans are too emo. Some punks nearly ripped my head off for stating that Modey deserves better in his career so far, despite the fact Modey is ma favourite Nigerian rapper by far.

I don't know why these lot feel need to defend Mode9 at any cost. Is he a charity case that stans feel the need to go all emo whenever anybody mentions his name?

Rap battles are judged in the black community, not in the white community who buy the albums. Still, J Cole needs to get an album out first and have some fans behind him. Nas didn't battle Jigga from rookie status. He had already established a career.

BTW, the way Eldee makes commentaries on here, it sounds like he's the one who likes less rap, more choruses and jingles and side attraction. What else could explain his love for that wack azzzz B.O.B?

Ode, abi no be your name I call? Which one come be insult again. You no be fake ode, you no be Aba-made ode, you be REAL ODE!

Elele is Ikwerre. I met lovely Elele lady over the weekend who runs a restaurant in Manchester. I am still licking my lips from the Ugba and Nkwobi she prepared. Its been years since I tasted Ugba.

Everybody wants to be King of his own little castle. Eleme is to Ogoni what Opobo is to Ibani. Leaders of Eleme are the ones pushing this nonsense because they need power base rather than diluting themselves into the larger Ogoni. Eleme consists of barely ten villages. My people share border with them and the Ogonis and I have visited their lands more than any other ethnic group in Nigeria. They should stop this nonsense. Even back in 90's main Eleme town was just a smattering of houses. From Onne to Bori, there's little difference between them. We Ijaws have never recognised ELeme as seperate entity from Ogoni in all our recordings of dealings with them back in the 19th century. It is impossible for Eleme to be completely seperate people from Ogonis yet speak the same or similar language. Ogoni language was never a lingua franca or language of trade in our region so anybody who speaks it does so by blood. If Eleme feel they have been sidelined in terms of developmental projects, they should sort that out by concensus agreement with Ogoni rather than dissociate themselves totally. If not for their close association with Ogoni, Okrika would have flattened them completely several times in the past. They should be careful what they wish for.

No sir, its obvious from this article that Okah was the shot caller cos all the militants mentioned, Fara, Tompolo etc acted under the direction of Okah.

Secondly, I do have some respect for Dokubo despite his obvious inconsistencies, however in this article he claims that Okah crossed him so many times, yet he recurrently went back to have dealings with Okah. How does he explain that? Finally, you can see how he assigns Fara and Ateke etc the tag of criminals and lowlifes, yet today he is dining with them releasing statements such as "we don't allow kidnappers and counter-revolutionaries in our midst" when just a year ago he was labelling them as such. The truth is that Asaris position changes like the wind. He barely knows his own mind. He may well be right that Okah is a lowlife conniving double-crosser, but that would also make him one by association. Expect Okah and Dokubo to paint each other in the harshest light possible. Such is power struggle. Stalin and Trotsky would always paint each other as lowlifes and plot to assasinate each other even whilst fighting for the same cause.

The whole thing leaves a sorry taste in the mouth, and after reading this, I have to disavow my support for such unco-ordinated armed struggle which has lost its focus.

@ Saga,

You dey mind the ODE called Dele? Sanusi had the crooks arrested and prosecuted and their refusal to go quietly is what caused all the brouhaha through their Renaissance Professionals mouthpiece, yet the ODE is here yarning opata that SLS should have first arrested and prosecuted the crooks "rather than causing instability and panic".

What an ODE!

Asari denounced the likes of Ateke as barefaced criminals, whilst castigating the likes of Fara and Tompolo in this article a year ago, but now dines with them calling Tompolo the leader of MEND.

This is an explosive article which reveals the blurred lines between criminality, armed struggle and factionalism. Whether the article contains some embellishment or not, no one knows. One thing is clear from this though, namely that Okah was the overriding shot-caller and undisputed leader of MEND. Asari had control of NDPVF, and JRC was an umbrella organisation to bring these two factions together to speak as one. GEJs proclamation that Okah is not MEND falls flat in light of this article from last year.

Witnesses said that he fell from a great height. . .
