You raised a very good point one man without the people's mandate is speaking on behalf of a people that don't know you.

Nasty reno omokri, the new tinubu lap dog, always barking like a rabid canine.

People like reno, Bwala, FFK, okupe, shehu sani should tow the part of engr Rauf Aregbesola.and the denounce that demon in Aso Rock.

Roberta Flack, the US singer behind a string of hits including Killing Me Softly With His Song, has died aged 88. “We are heartbroken that the glorious Roberta Flack passed away this morning, February 24, 2025,” a statement from her spokesperson read. “She died peacefully surrounded by her family. Roberta broke boundaries and records. She was also a proud educator.”

With her graceful presence, genre-crossing versatility and ability to give voice to the full range of love’s highs and lows, Flack is widely considered one of soul and R&B’s greatest ever artists.

Flack was born in 1937 in Black Mountain, North Carolina, to musical parents. Her mother Irene was a church choir organist, meaning Flack was introduced to religious and classical music early on. She began playing the piano aged nine and by 15 she was admitted to Howard University to study music on a full scholarship, one of the youngest students to be accepted in the school’s history.

At 19, the new Howard graduate aspired to be an opera singer, before taking up a teaching post in North Carolina. Alongside this work, Flack started performing in nightclubs during evenings and weekends, weaving elements of classical, blues, folk, Motown and pop. Her virtuosity landed her regular spots at venues across Washington DC and in 1968, a residency at Mr Henry’s Restaurant led Flack to give up teaching for good.

She became acquainted with soul jazz pianist and singer Les McCann, who in turn introduced her to Atlantic Records – by early 1969 she was recording her debut album First Take, reportedly in a window of 10 hours. The album documented those years at Henry’s, immortalising the cross-genre collection of tracks she had spent so long practising there. In the liner notes of the original edition, McCann wrote: “Her voice touched, tapped, trapped, and kicked every emotion I’ve ever known. I laughed, cried, and screamed for more.”

It took until 1971, however, and a placement on the soundtrack to Clint Eastwood’s Play Misty for Me, before her cover of Ewan MacColl’s folk ballad The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face became her first major US hit. It spent six weeks at No 1 in 1972, earning a Grammy award for record of the year in 1973. Killing Me Softly With His Song earned her the same award in 1974, making Flack the first artist to win in two consecutive years (a feat since repeated by U2 and Billie Eilish). That year she scored another US No 1 with Feel Like Makin’ Love.

Around this time, the star began collaborating with the soul legend Donny Hathaway; the pair went on to have two US Top 5 hits with Where Is the Love and The Closer I Get to You. In 1980, a year after Hathaway’s death, the pair had a posthumous hit in the UK with Back Together Again, which reached No 3, though she had her biggest UK hit with new duet partner Peabo Bryson: the ballad Tonight, I Celebrate My Love reached No 2 in 1983.

Flack’s impressive range of influences and collaborators was testament to her multidisciplinary approach and idiosyncratic style. She duetted with Michael Jackson, toured with Miles Davis and covered Leonard Cohen and Laura Nyro. After her initial success, she became associated with the growth of quiet storm, a deep, mature and ruminative offshoot of R&B which later inspired the likes of Erykah Badu, D’Angelo and the Fugees (whose own take on Killing Me Softly would rival Flack’s to be the definitive version). More recently, in 2012, Flack released a string of Beatles covers in an album titled Let It Be Roberta.

She once told a journalist: “What I consider myself is a soulful singer, in that I try to sing with all the feeling that I have in my body and my mind. A person with true soul is one who can take anybody’s song and transcend all the flaws, the technique and just make you listen.”

After becoming unwell on stage in 2018, her manager revealed that Flack had suffered a stroke some years earlier.

Flack married once, in 1966, to jazz musician Steve Novosel – the couple divorced in 1972.

The Nigerian revered author of blessed memories, China Achebe said'' Things will fall apart when the centre cannot hold' '
Donald trump arrogance and racist character now stinks in Europe. Trump is just a pig. You denigrate your allies and think all will be well.

Before some brain dead begin to speculate rubbish. This is mere suggestion because Russia will not change their stance because Zelensky resigned. Putin just like tinubu are blood leeches. For peace to reign Putin most return to status quo.

Why is muric wailing, what IBB did, thats what tinubu did, and that's what the drug baron is planning to do 2027.

The simple truth. Tinubu created a problem he has no solution to.

JuanDeDios:
What makes Obama evil?

Don't you know Obama funded bokoharam.

Enjoy your time fool while it last no condition is permenant. Ask that evil nigger Obama.

Tinubu was never a good administrator, only cutting corners. His introduction of area boys was one of his greatest legacy in lagos. Also that clueless LAPO banker turn CBN governor is just another daft.

Nigeria has become a deathtrap under APC rule, nothing is working only corruption and rituals thrives in this cesspit.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members serving in Jato Aka Turan community in Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State are currently crying for an urgent security help as they said that herdsmen who launched fresh attacks in the community have killed no fewer than 20 people in two days.

He will by God's grace attend your own.

I hope they learn from Rwanda, how beautiful and neat a country can be. Not only building bridges but setup a ministry that will oversee cleaning of major and minor infrastructure.

People with vision. Nigeria is about the only opec that can not a count for its oil revenues and still lags behind in terms of technology and infrastructure development.

May that driver know no peace and if you're on this forum and like to drive wrecklessly may ogun kpai you alone.

Obamas hatred for president Jonathan will hunt him. From seizing Jonathan's government 25 million dollars for Arms purchase to sanctioning NATO members who want to sell Arms to Nigeria during bokoharam formative days. Just because Jonathan disapprove of LGBT. Today LGBT in the US is no more. Shame on Obama.
