Here is the same "reporter" being obnoxious and starting a press conference on a bad note. Granted the minister could have handled it better, but this Sowore guy is just plain unruly and unprofessional. It's an old tape.

I like this comment from a viewer:
Sowore the so called journalist was very crude and rude. Of course he's not a journalist, but you don't need to be a journalist to learn professionalism and manners. Crude and uncouth Sowore.

Better wait, Naija is where they can get his records for you,  send someone to Lati Alagbada Records, or Ogo Oluwa Kiitan Records along Agege Motor Rd, near Shogunle (am sure the head office's still there); you'll definitely get most of his oldies there. A mini classic records market used to be at Oshodi Isale, but they were moved (don't know where),  I could have guaranteed you'll get any records from them.

@Isale gan2 check out http://victolastores.co.uk/ I came accross them searching for his oldies myself
They are in london though. I'm sure there's got to be a place in New York too

Thanks, all.  I also found this online store:

Sentimental one.

He kind of looks like a turtle (Fashola). Is that look common amongst Lagosians?

Excuse you?  I'm from Lagos!

Okay.  I see what you mean.   

*Season's Greetings*

I know the society and would tell you what would happen.[/quote]Just don't elaborate on that!  The last time I saw a post from Dapo Pooh Bear, he had been traumatised by watching one of your videos. You can speakit some more Francais though.  No problem. 

*Season's Greetings*

Wow!  That poor brave woman. RIP, both of them.

So many questions: 
It was a party, so was the alcohol flowing?
Was the secretary drunk, to go in the water? 
Could either of them swim?

I'd do just about anything for my fellow man or woman, but jumping in the ocean isn't one of them - even if I could swim.  A drowning person pulls you down with them.  Eko natives are taught from a young age to stay the heck away from the water!  The ocean is angry.   Historically, Eko natives setup their homes far away from the waters edge, well inside the hinterland.  This is why the Europeans had no competition when they started building their ocean-front homes.  Go right ahead and tempt fate, oyinbo.

I can't blame the government for this one.

justise:
Why come to such a hasty assumption?

Like I said, you are not that different from me. . .  No two names!

Okay.  I've read more of your posts and concluded: 1) Contrary to my earlier impression, I am not older than you; 2) You have more NL monikers than I initially thought. 

justise:
By Nigerian standard, Yes, that makes you a tribalist
That is what Awo said that made people label him a tribalist.

Yes welcome brother!

All right.  Was that a trick question?  Are you playing a game? 

If you're up to something, I'll tell you right now, I'm prob older than you.  Don't try to trick me.  You will lose!   

And, I'm a sister.  Catch you later.

P.S. Don't post cruel things about an ailing man.  Keep your fights out of get-well-soon or "mourning" threads.  There's a hundred other threads for that. 

justise:
So are you a tribalist like everyone else?

Or do you have beef with Tribalism?

Well, that's a loaded question.  Tribalism means different things to different people - especially on NL.

I'm proud of my tribe.  Not sure if that means I'm a tribalist.  I like to know my history and keep traditions alive.  And I don't begrudge other Nigerians from uplifting their tribe.  I am proud to be an African.  I guess you can read my posts to reach your own conclusions about me. 

I'm happy to answer your questions.   

It's late here so if I don't reply you, I fell asleep. 

justise:
With all due respect, I did
I lived all my life in Lagos, Shomolu to be exact, before jetting out,
Yeah, had them as teachers, friends, gfs and what have you.

I am Yoruba, they are Ibo; nothing is going to change that!

All right. Thanks for answering my question.

justise:
Quote from Onlytruth: "Since the enemies to my survival never take a vacation, why should I?"

If this is how they think, why should I relent?

That appears to be a defensive statement, not an offensive one.  That's the way I see that.

How can you respect live if you do not respect the dead? Disgusting ediots.

Anywaz, their God's time is the best.[/quote]The offensive statements I saw in threads about the murdered poster had to do with self-serving comments about his religious faith or lack thereof.  I must have missed posts ridiculing him because of his tribe - from anyone, including Ibos.
---

I'm curious to know if either of you lived in Nigeria in your formative years - growing up around Ibos - attending primary or secondary school with them - having them as teachers - living next door to them?  No offense meant.  I'm not saying there isn't a lot of give and take on this NL "tribalism"subject.  I'm following up since you responded to my earlier request for peace.

justise:
After hearing the Yoruba

I now like him a little bit

So, you'll hate on him just a little bit less?  If the old man's on his sick bed, it doesn't hurt to show some respect (at least on threads dedicated to wishing him well).  And suspend the vitriol against him and his people for a little while?  Who knows, peace might break out all over this accursed forum Nairaland.    But, I won't hold my breath.

In "Fantasia Fuji" (side 2). He dedicated the entire side 2 of that record for that song, "iku";  the record's MY favourite. He sang about 'death' in most of his records,  listen to the tribute he made for Alhaja Amudat Adunni Zubair, on 'side B' of "Questionaire"; tribute to Alhaja Simbiat Abiola in "Dimensional Fuji"; and many more. I found these two very emotional, even though I'd no idea who some of those late people were. I actually fancy listening to the side 2 of his records specifically to listen to praises of his sponsors, he was brilliant!

I totally missed that my question was already answered in the first post of yours I quoted.  I feel dunce-like.  I just overlooked it cos I had only looked at the list of albums and not read the full intro in your post.  Thanks for humouring me. 

I've had some trouble posting another transcription I did because spambot keeps banning me.  But I'll post it in bits.

Also, do you have any suggestion on where to get his albums?  I don't have all the ones I want, and am restless waiting for the people back home to mail it to me in the US.  Not many selections on Amazon.com.  Actually, last time I checked, it was less than half a dozen.

I need a well to do woman (AGE DOESNT MATTER) that needs a strong-willed, sexy, business oriented and hardworking man for support and dating only. Am 42, dont look it, strong and sexually active, married but my woman seems to be the laziest in the world. I work so hard to keep the family going and where I need her support she starts well and frizzle out in few weeks. I have established her in businesses 4 times with capital ranging from N100k to N2m and she has nothing to show for it, all 4 attempts failed. Now she is involved in my business only to abscond every now and then.  I think I need to have a feel of a striving and success oriented woman. If anyone is interested please send me a private mail to gfhotee@yahoo.com

I tried to post this a day and half ago, but it didn't post.

OMG! I was listening to Fantasia Fuji (my favorite of Alhaji Agba's) and I was saying to a friend that the next time he visits the UK, I'll find him, I wanted to thank him for the message in part 2 of 'Fantasia Fuji' where he sang abouth 'death'. Very ironic, hmn,  may his soul rest in peace. As well as I love his songs, I really liked him as a person, he had always inspired me through his career. I have listened to the following albums (find any one of them to buy, great songs):

Do you by any chance remember which of his albums contains the song about "iku" and his mother and father's passing?  I want to do the lyrics but only have a short clip of 3mins of that song.  Thanks.  It goes something like:

Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi rajiun

Iku ti o wole tomi lo koko pa mother mi
Iku to ri'pe wo lo pa baba mi
O di jo keji ko lo ya o ya o

Tale bu ke kuwa n gba n kuruma
Talo polo asara eluwa n deruba
Tani iku wa n lemo nigba ti o so'ogun fun

To je lojo tobatiya loya
Mo n je'un l'owo o Je ki n son'wo
Je n sure wo yara ki n dagbere fun darling mi
Ko si excuse ti'ku ba ti de oooo

Thanks. I love the guy. Great musical legend, and he's one of our very own!

Actually, I had posted 2 sets of lyrics, but spambot banned me, and I just realized now that the 2nd one did not post. I think you'll like it.

I will re-post shortly.

removed. reposted below.

I've transcribed a couple of Barrister's songs.  The captions are mine, so they may differ from other lyrics out there.  There are some Yoruba words and names I'm just not sure I got right.  I'll check with my parents to make sure there are no mistakes.  But I really want to share this.  If you're a fan of the late Barrister, I hope you can appreciate it.

I believe you.  And I agree with the opening post about making plans to direct our energies towards Nigeria/Africa.  Take care.

My mom told me today.  Sad news.  And I just started appreciating him all over again too.  Asking for his albums, putting his song in my signature just a couple of weeks ago too. . . daydreaming of an excuse to throw a party when next I go home so we can have him entertain like the good old days when I was too young to fully appreciate him.  He'd had health problems for a few years now.  In and out of hospitals.  RIP, great man.

Anyway, thanks for the link to 2009 results.  Didn't help.

Do you recall whether any of the 3 finalists have won in the past?  Or come close?  Thanks, Jarus.

Quick post here.  Wanted to share these videos.  Will add more later when I have more time.

A couple of the videos are from a Qari competition, which is kind of surprising to me.  I would expect an exhibition, not a contest, featuring these talented and devoted Qaris.  I expect there may have been controversy in the past and maybe even now about it.  I would like to know if you're aware of some refusing to participate in the competitions due to their interpretation of what it means to be a muslim. 

I am most interested if anyone has links to Nigerian/African Qaris or other beautiful video or audio of quranic recitations.

Salaam.

Jarus,
Good job.  Can you provide a link to, or a list of, past Politics Section Winners and runners up in the last few years?  I understand Becomrich won last year.  I'm curious to know who were the runners-up.  Also who won the year before that.  Thanks.

Jarus:
My check with the banning authorities however shows that Beaf has been banned twice this year for running foul of forum setion. He is thereby disqualified.

Beaf is out?  He wasn't one of my finalists, but still. . .
Disqualifying a nominee with so much support at such a late date?  Beaf, get yourself an advocate and challenge it.  There are so many loopholes.  Where is your sorry excuse of a awesome campaign manager? 

. . . collapsed six weeks ago during a training session.
. . . he suffered a slight injury in between in one of our games, which he quickly recovered from.
. . . we conducted tests on all the players. Emma (Ogoli) was no exception and we found him to be in perfect condition.

http://naijaligue..com/

21 years old?  We still don't know what caused his death.  Was it his brain (head injury) or his heart? 

RIP, young brother.
