My Broda or Sista, you too much. You hit it right on the money. Childish delinquents are what this people and most of their fans here are. The ability to think and reason objectively divulge of bias and sentiment is lost on a whole lot of them and its an incursion from the way the society is or has been. Its th reason governance in Africa is treated like family bi as Dbanj asserted.
The Mo'hit brand would have being a massive business to birth other music bineses that would give proper direction in the music industry but heck these things happen.
But as a BI i still see massive potential in both f them coming togeda as biness partners under Mo'hits. The drama they have caused in the industry can be milked and mined to gain them 10 times what they lost back then. In 1 year they can reclaim Africa back abd in 3years clear out Europe and be on their way to North America to properly put Naija music on the global map and make money from the American market. But hey, thats if they see it and the people around them see it. Its purely a simple model. Objectivity is key people- celebrity and Fans alike. As a people we need it to progress. Its what some people call capitalist mindset but its how to be better as a people and as a country.

Just to be petty

i watched both parts of the video. The dbanj brand is bigger than all the Mavin put togeda. The only Artistes right now whose brand can surpass Dbanjs are: Wi kid, DavidO, Olamide,Phyno and thats if the right business management is behind them guiding their every step. They seem to forget how big the biness is and Africa just started to erupt!

Dbanj as a musician is irrelevant in Nigeria. He only has had 1 hit on the streets to hes name, songs like: top of the world, bother me, are not street anthems. But make no mistake, it can be remedied if when he decides to put the love of hes fans above hes world domination drive. All he needs is to broker a deal with jay to produce songs and he would make hits.

But one thing to note is, dbanj as a business man is doing alot better than Mo'hits and Mavins put togeda. Lets not kid ourselves, you dont make bogus hype statements with brands like Apple etc. that he got a semblance of a deal like Dre from apple is a big stride. We keep crucifying him of pursuing hes dream becos hes not giving us d kind of music we know him for (which is understandable) but we shldnt wish him bad, we should encourage him

I salut donj too. hes an artist at producing, a genius and i beliv he works hard to be better. Without a Mo'hit movemnt, with dbanj's drive and ambition in it, it will take him years before he gets to that international acclaim hes looking for(except hes not looking for it) by then, he would have grown old-iam not dissing, its just objective statistics.

I wish both of them well and hope the love of money, leadership in the music biness in Africa and legendaty strides will drive dem both back togeda to be under a music house umbrella with the same name mohits or somtin better.

They are both doing well. Dbanj is far from broke. don j is d best producer to come out of Africa and hes not resting, hes becom an artiste dt is doing well too and pushing hes label.

stop the hating and beefing. Encourage these guys in the right manner so they can make us proud!!

bros na yu make me talk oh. nice words.

My brother, A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. It was meant to sail.

Music is a global language and entertainment transcends tribe, gender, religion and age. Music is a global thing. Moreover, if Awilo could make it in Nigeria, that should tell you there is always a market for any type of music anywhere, considering you do your homework properly.

I, as a businessman will never in my life fault anyone taking big risk at growth and expansion as long as it is a well calculated risk and i dare say that the risk D'Banj took was a very very beautiful one from a business perspective and i really respect him for that. Prejudice aside, the only reason why the whole deal kinda crumbled was because they let Mo'Hit go. It was a big big mistake. This grave mistake worth to be taught in our schools.

If we all dissect the situation from a business perspective, we'd all see that they would have made tons and tons of money. D'Banj would have made money, so was The Don, but the one that would have made the biggest money was Mo'Hit the company and the brand. The brand was already enjoying global popularity as at the time the Good Music deal rumor broke out and imagine the kind of exposure 'Oliva Twist' would have given the Mo'Hit brand.

Fast forward to 2014-2015, billions of dollars are rolling into the country through FDI and foreign investors in the music industry will be looking at a local partner to roll with, and who else would it have been if not with the biggest music house in Africa. Mo'Hit. Record companies would have been falling over themselves in other to get the Mo'Hit business. This would have been their time to make massive money but damn, they threw millions of dollars out the window. Now, Mavin is barely recognized outside the country and DB Records is almost none existence, so there's little to no way investors would seek them out. Where do you think Dangote is getting all the money he is investing from? How do you think all these Investment companies are seeking him out? Simply cos he is the biggest on the continent. This is what would have happened to the Mo'Hit on the continent. Continental domination through their global popularity and exposure, but hey, they all didnt see it that way. They allowed emotions to becloud their senses. They could have at least sold the company, damn it. Nobody builds such magnitude of a company, the biggest on the continent, wake up one day and decide to shred it up. The brand was very admired, cherished and popular on the continent.

Finally my brother, no matter how expensive a venture is, as long as the ROI is higher than the overhead, then you have a good business at hand. They are both to be blamed though. What they did was purely childish and out-rightly stupi!d.

COZA, The Wealthy Place!!!
News flash, COZA is going to be subsiding fuel by going to several fuel stations to pay for all the fuel they have. Members of the church will be the ones to sell the fuel and people are encouraged to come out and buy fuel at a subsidized rate. Other services like cleaning of windscreens will also be available. When this will happen will soon be communicated to you. We are just carrying out God's instructions. We celebrate you!!

This is why FIRS- Federal Inland Revenue service field operatives are now armed with Digital Forensics training, so business owners beware o, lol

Prevoius laws were not explicit on the admissibility of digital evidences but the followin icpc act opens doors,

The ICPC Act 2000, Section 57 (b) states that “ any document
or copy of any document or photographic electronic evidence or
thing seized from any person or however obtained… shall be
admissible in evidence in any proceedings under this Act
before any court,…”

TCT--coroner's toolkit
Helix
Access Data FTK


and other tools i call crude tools, i just teach my students on ow to use them in forensic scenarios,

HBCD
Backtrack, etc

in fact there is a game i make availaible to them that teaches as you play how to secure and hack networks/Files , just makin it fun, lol

Note:Iam not a certified Forensic Investigator, iam only versed in ways of ethical hacking/Forensics as iam an IT specialist and need to secure my networks.
The bulk of my students hav written CHFI of Eccouncil, seems like the recognised certification in naija yet, as EC-Council has an official presence in Lagos.

i stumbled on an ENCASE software version recently through google, i am still checking it out sha, to see how to adapt it ,

quest55:
"happy are those who work with govt departments in abuja" , LOL at this,
Thank you for this info.
What cost are we talking about and must i be in abuja all d time?

well as for cost, and training you hav to be in abuja, or if you wld like to read urself i can make materials(practical materials) to you.Ofcos you must purchase your tools of engagement too,

Lest i forget, If yoy must know The FIRS has already been training their staffs in Computer Forensics. And i know they have started using this knowledge to work on the fields, i know that for a fact.I think an american Company comes and train them here in abuja. So its not alien to us here at all, Be prepared!

Hello everyone,
Iam an IT Specialist, specialist in different I fields, i have been researching into Computer Forensics and i av to opine wot others say about CFIN, its welcomed but the way they carry on seems dubious at best(not that i say they are dubious). As at yesterday i was stil discussing with a comm of police who we are trainin in my institution here about this issue and he says a commitee is already setup working with the national assembly to form an inter-agency Fforensic arm.He says they re stil workin on Legal frameworks to incluse hiring, etc etc. thats the latest i knw bout govt's part

As for computer forensics, if u re an IT person, pls lay your hands on basic computer forensic's books, you will be surprised at how easy it is to learn. Learning how to harvvest information from OS registries and stuff.

THe best advise i wld giv is to equip urself for the oppurtunity that is about to breakout in the Forensics field.If it means gettin international certification, get it,


For now i train security personnels on Basic and Intermediate computer forensics in Abuja but i cant certify them, i train them to write int'l certifications and they are pushing for ENCASE too, so all yu can do is equip urself, resources abound on the internet, all u can do is search, and that wld be your first attempt at Computer forensics, lol

if yu re in Abuja u can reach me and i can help with materials, and point you in a good direction,


ITs a wide field, but you can start from the basics before specializing,

hello guys, pls i need an installer in garki to help me install a motorised positioner for my 1.8 meter dish, all d guys iav seen cant install it so presently i hav a stationary sat on nile beam

kennidiamo:
.dese are 2 diferent types of artistes, sultan is a lyricist whil d'banj is an entertainer.i bet if both of them shld go up on stage,d crowd wil roar more for d'banj, i tink we shld luk at from diferent point of views, i stil feel pops up to d'banj though cos i felt his verse on dat song, singing his native language in his normal way nd not tryin 2 b wat he is not,
Am a fan of soultan also,i just feel there is no comparism here except on videos thou.you compare a soultan with a 2face

correct guy @ kennidiamo-i dont know the basis for the comparison in the 1st place cos the OP's criterion data is flawed. these re two pairs of diffrent artistes

yoji:
I jus wanna clarify criteria no. 3 which says beta song.
Many pple are givin it to sultan on d basis of lyrics alone. But it takes more than lyrics to make a good song. In addition u also need rhythm and beats. Sometimes a song with wack lyrics wud beat a song with sensible lyrics cos of beat selection and arrangement.
For example p-square's do me despite its wack lyrics is a beta song than some socially concious songs.
Ironically I picked sultan's remix cos of dat hard hitting j-sleeky beat sef.

@ yoji most of these pple here shld be skooled on wot mkes a good music. is good music about lyrics alone?dat mins music being universal is a mis-norma then! i tire for this pips o.

Virgo83:
THE MESSAGE WE EXPECTED OF THEM ISN'T ABOUT VIDEO BUT MORALE AHEAD OF CREATIVITY.
Both had to go for their likes, SoundSultan and Wyclef Jean are bird of feathers likewise D'banj and Snoop Dogg. There are just two differences between the duo, the Art of SoundSultan and the Act of D'Banj, the Good Messages of SoundSultan and the Illicit Entertainments of D'Banj and same also applies to the duo "Wyclef Jean and Snoop Dogg". To cut the story short which among the duo do regard as GOOD LEGACY.

i dey laff-like obj where does legacy and music com into play. there re gr8 musicians from d carribeans re even studied in music skools their music were never in english, mostly becos of their biutiful arrangements, shio!

enuf said, wot makes a serios artiste is not by the serios message he/she preaches it is by how serios they take their careers. it is obvious dbanj tkes hes career more seriosly. He planned nd projected for a collabo with snoop , , it ws neva a chance meeting of snoop in nigeria and he using the oppurtunity to clinch a single collabo like sultan does
besides we see the gains of dbanj and snoops collabo, Welcome to america! go watch it and see a nigerian serios with hes career and wanting to go places and he will-i can see it!

i feel the criteria for basing them shld have been whaat will these collabos do to both their careers, we see wot its doing for dbanj for SS nko##?

well maybe before 2face myt have had the upper hand but if based on d front roll seat info i got bout ow much dbanj got from politics this past month then guy, dbanj is worth more than 2face n psquare combined + 2, cos that money(not mentioning amount) is really mad

yes no one has answered your question becos its just not worth the effort

i mean how does one begin to answer such a question? It doesnt really come to mind, that the poverty alleviation dat you redily ask for will come from the blues of 2 years
is just plain greedy,inconsiderate,myopic,inconcievable,lacking in reasoning and not well thought-out(well ofcos most of yur like s on politics section just type without thinking)

tell me, your idea must be dat fashola shld visit the iya tawas and iya simias of dis world(Lagos) and give dem millions dat wld readily catapault dem into dia wealth
dat fashola(or any oda govnor) shld take d agbero off d street, bathe him, get him new clothes and pay him a salary of 65k(just like d militants)
or perhaps, he shld out of the blues,get on the media and declare everyone shld come to alausa everyday and collect chop mony, then fashola wld have alleviated poverty ba?


ignoramus and bagladash!


If wia a man committed to d development of infrastructures dat wld be foundation blocks of rapid change in a state is being asked such question-then i think yur education is questionable and
yur opinion rabid and you re one of the rison IP version 6 was created(cos una dey waste precious IP addresses/bandwidth)

not everytin dat goes on in yur mind is printable!

dats y its called the mind, you need to think em through 1st b4 letting loose such , (i dunno wot to call it)
Been a while i been to LAG but i hear and see the things d FASH is doin
kudos to the man
that he can begin a change in our minds of how a good governance shld be like is summuni worth awarding him for

Prior to today, all would know i have always been a stickler for "go around the mountain" if it won't giveway or give water(lol!) as against KOBO'S Idealistic way of "fight the mountain" to stand till if it doesnt giveway or give water (lol!.Today i come to realise fighting for your right could be liberating (just like WWF-dont try dis tins at home-lol!) especially when you re on your rite and you re within the law, ofcos most times you loose summin to such a cause (like i lost my right head light dis morning).
To the STory,

~nokia tune nokia tune nokia tune~ was the sound that woke me up dis morning, my g/f woke me up to get dressed and meet her at some filling station in Garki Area , to join the queue early and be able to get fuel for the car.And so after wondering why i have such an efficient g/f, i got out of bed and took the keys and ZOOM, to the queue. she was 2 cars ahed of me so i took my lappy along and we watched some movies (2012, french kiss, inglorious basterds etc, ) till 8am(from 5.30, wot a romantic i am ba!)Durig this time, a plain clothed guy came in a car parked behind my g/f in front of those of us alredy parked, their was a police station gate by d side and we were supposed to liv space for them to come in and go out.This guy came in and parked on d space and the pple spoke to him to liv but he suddenly flared up and after went into the police station. Anyways, 8.30 thereabout came and the gates were opened and and suddenly dis guy came out and joined the queue.From behind i saw my gal take a stand and said the guy(wu apparently was a police man) shld go back and queue.The police man flared up again and threatened to beat her, i gess dat was my cue, i left my car and went in to appeal to the police man to pls liv her alone and shldnt talk like he owned the queue, that he would have just appealed to the rest of the queue and everything would have bin ok, but this police man looked at me and said i was not it and started shouting after evrytin had died down a bit i ws goin back to my car when he entered his car, moved and went in front of her car, i was furious and went to the side of his car, we stsrted moving,inching each oda side by side til we got to the front, pple wer appealing to d guy to appeal he said no(<strong>apparently he was a northerner-mind you i said northerner not hausa and i ddnt min it in a tribal manner</strong>, all the yoruba men dia were tellin me to liv him and let him be, the ibo guys were divided on d issue some wanted to get ahed and some urged me to continue and funnily the other northerners were also divided, majority (wu wer women wer insulting him while the men jst stood and watched)-so iam not trying to be tribalistic hia pple!
back to the story,

we got to the gate, i used my everyday Lagos training in the hold-up of isolo to island to out wit the guy and blocked the gates(though i ws previosly on the road and no more on the queue).So i blocked the gate and the man from entering into the filling station and the station attendants came in and opened the oda gate for the cars behind him to liv and enter into the sation while i blocked him and and cornered him to a standstill, after a minute pple started coming out to rain abuses and curses on the policeman, even his colleagues cldnt do anytin.(In all dis, i ws surprised that i ws prayin to GOD to see me thru dis ordeal without accidental dischrge story or espiri de corp solidarity and GOD did come to my rescue)

The pple were jubilant and the fuel attendants brot in hevy metal to block his way while i cld go into the station and get fuel but by this time, i had lost my right front head light and he had a big dent by the side of his car


Now my tots were as follows:

people came and prayed for me and were happy that we ovacme the policeman and displaced him <strong>but i had lost my front head light to the cause</strong>

wot if the police man had removed a gun and shot in the air? wot if he and his fellow officers deicided to make it more serios?wot wld have happened to me?

As i left the filling station, tghe tots dat came to mind were: on the short run, i won a battle against a police man and also lost my head light in d process(which cld cost me bout 2-4k to fix back)<strong>considering that i liv within my mins,the car i use is not a car dats beyond my mins,so i cn afford to replace the head light without dieing in d process</strong> But wot if i am like many dat took loans to buy a car,just to be an abuja big boy, wia wld d mony to get headlights to the amounts of 20-40k come from? Does that min, i wldnt even dare fight the man in d 1st place? becos i know if anytin happens to the car,mony no dey to immediately fix d lights back.

But on the long run; <strong>i realised that we the pple on the queue won dis battle,we made this policeman have a rethink,someone exclaimed he wld continue to patronise dat station from now on becos the attendants came and supported me(more biz 4 dem, lol)and someow it has changed some1's mind on dat queue dat justice can still be fought for in dis country, a northern woman actually exclaimed "dat becos of wot you did, i know Nigeria still have a future and pple wu wld stand and fight for our happiness" now dats makes a hero feel gr8</strong>

In summary, its not bad to fight for your rite or stnd for it, infact its the best thing to do but it has to be within reason though.You yourself must be above board to be able to win such a fight.
<strong>For Pol Section of NL wots d morale hia, dat we degenerate to ethnic bigotry really doesnt help us move forward, dat we feel a section or some sections of dis country re responsible for our woes wont move us forward but insted wot have you done in your own lil way to make the oda nigerian believe dat we have a future worth fighting for?</strong>

today was food for tot and <strong>i would cast my vote now for best pol section person to KOBOJUNKIE, Aloy Emeka,Babapupa and d northern chick (wots her name again?)</strong>

As for the rest of SEFAGO, MEKUSXXX,Ezaichi and the rest of the gang

i always look forward to your comments, i have lernt alot from all your historical beefs,i neva even knew about b4, i have lernt of the emotions carried about by ethinicities in Nigeria and i have also lernt ow to continue to relate wit fellow nigerians.

But i would like to give sum pointers to the clamour for revisiting the biafran war:<strong>wot i suggest is simple, the Bifran pple like Eziachi who were part of the war, wot memorial have you yourselves built, i know for a fact that in concerted efforts are made to build and BRAND(which is d operativ word hia) a Biafran memorial wall or a day, i tell the whole country will follow suite, if the states in d Biafran region take up such a day and dedicate it to her pple dat were lost, the world wld mourn with dem, the nigerain state wont have a choice than to adopt it </strong> its only a suggestion dat i think wld work.Fellow NL mates, as we enter into the newyr let the spirit fairness be in each and every1 of us(even as followers)lets even leave our leaders out of dis for some mins and tackle ourselves, we'll be the better for it!

merry xmas all
