Weitin dey wan do with system or tough book laptops

This one does not know that police have criminal databases stored digitally in developed countries. In fact some third world countries like have this system in place.

The Authorities Of Nigeria Military 🎖️🪖 Has Even Become More Criminal Minded , Dubious & Fraudulent Than Politicians

They were never any better in the first place. Gowon looted, Muritala Mohammad didn't loot much because they kpai him early and Obj was doing eye service and looted with him church mind, that's why he use vex loot wetin no good as a democratic presido. Buhari and Tunde looted, Babangida looted, Abacha still dey credit FG aza from the grave beyond, he's our G.A.O.T , Abusalami looted with church mind.

What I'm trying to say is that given enough time they all will loot.

People calling that innocent man all kinds of name are not serious...
It just be like ajebo children now that didn't know if they used to plugged yam and cassava from tree🌲...
What if the man didn't grown up in the village, the bird would be strange to him na🤒

if he didn't grow up in the village then that would be more reason why he should know an owl when he sees one. How can someone in this age and time, with unlimited access to social media, Google, and other consumable medias like movies etc not know what an Owl looks like? Nawa oo! I know what an owl looks like when I was younger, way before the internet, we call it Ikwikwii in our native tongue.

Let them collapse and sell their equipments as scrap to iron condemn people.

Late President Buhari came up with a brilliant ideal, to help local production and only for the farmers to suddenly turned hyenas over night.

While we are buying from Cotonou, a bag of stone free foreign rice was sold less than 20K but our farmers started selling stone rice above 100K. Rice that used to be very cheap have now turned to luxury.

One of the only good policy of the Buhari administration and this people still messed it up.

Bro keepers dey o. Buffon, Khan, Scmiechel, Casillas, Dida.

Cadillas was good too, it's just that his fall off was so steep it tainted how good he really was in his prime.
Schmeichel, Kahn, VDS, Yashin, Dida were still top class GKs till the very day they hung up their gloves.

Watcharena:
I don't blame you I blame US that did not bomb Nigeria like Afghanistan for the sins of Umar farouk

Did Farouk kidnap US citizens while murdering a couple others?
Go and check what that US did to Afghanistan and Iraq and 9/11 terrorist attack.

agentNija:
Manuel Neuer to me is the best among them. He started what coaches are now calling 'playing from the back'. Peter Cech remains the best ever.

the sweeper keeper role was invented by Neuer.

Peter cech was good but he's not better than Van Der Sar, Oliver Kahn, Peter Schmeichel, Yashin, Neuer.

By the time we enter January, everyone will get to realize what tax reform was all about, I hope that's not when fresh wailing will commence, because the country is becoming way very sweet. Divided in politics, united in suffering

Oyinbo people created the confusion and then made the distinction effectively creating the disease and providing the cure.

Basically oyinbo music people were familiar with our Fuji, highlife, JuJu, Afrobeat (fela) type of music but they did not rate our hip-hop music. They thought that Nigerians only sang those type of music not knowing that our own version of hip-hop was now ruling the street. When they finally started to rate our modern type of music they did not know what to call it. They could not call it hip-hop, because hip-hop is for them, and in any case our type of hip-hop was different, it fused/ incorporated a whole lot of traditional African musical elements. They could not also call it Fuji, highlife, JuJu, or fela's afrobeat, so they foolishly chose to call it afrobeats (with an 's') creating a needless confusion with fela's own afrobeat.

So what does afrobeats mean? Afrobeats is any contemporary popular music from Africa, especially west africa, especially Nigeria, whether it is hip-hop, or reggae, or blues, any genre at all, as far as it is not exclusively a traditional African musical genre like fuji or highlife ( meaning that traditional African musical genre like fuji or highlife with modern beats or musical style is considered now as afrobeats). It is an arbitrary term in a true musical sense that basically means modern, popular music from Africa (that is not amapiano)


This is why burna boy said he doesn't sing afrobeats that he sings afro-fusion, that calling it afrobeats doesn't make any sense because it confuses it with fela's music (Afrobeat a distinct genre). Burna boy said he sings afro-fusion because his music like those of his African contemporaries is a fusion of distinct musical styles and genres and is not Afrobeat.

Anyways, I think Burna boy is correct, but I will suggest we call it Afropop but certainly not afrobeats to avoid confusion with Afrobeat. So when you see afrobeats with s, it doesn't mean fela's music, or angelica kidjo, or Selif keita, or king sunny Ade, think of Tuface, Burna, Dbanj, Whizkid, Davido etc.

That is why in the ranking we have up there, you don't see music from those old musicians like Fela, you see only from Tuface downwards because Afrobeats does not mean Afrobeat.

Thank you for the explanation. I kind of understand it better now, I used to think they're all the same. So Afrobeat is Fela's music while "Afribeats" is Nigerian/African pop songs?

I agree with burna too and Afropop would be a more suitable name for the genre. No be today oyinbo start to dey mislabel our art

Manfromlasvegas:
Afrobeat (fela's genre of music) is different from afrobeats (what we have ranked up there) according to oyinbo that have given the name and made the distinction.

Afrobeats is contemporary west African pop song heavy on bass and African drum, but Afrobeat is fela's music, completely different even though easy to confuse.

care to elaborate more on this?

What's the use of all these cctv when one cant even see there faces

Low quality CCTV camera +lack of pixel enhancement softwares

pook:
Honestly you read my mind, Agolo ain't there, no Fela Kuti song. It should have been modern Afrobeat then

As in.... Even the Father of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, didn't even have any entry in the genre he created. Make it make sense i feel they just picked African Queen as number 1 and then randomly picked 49 Naija songs to complete the list.

SLIDEwaxie:
You go like explain how African Queen be Afro beat. And many other rubbish songs wey make the list

How they left out Angelique Kidjo in that list is what I can't understand.

Jibsonified:
Seeing Ijoya is Epic for me!! That song, the video animation, Weird MC! Damn, that era was epic for Naija music

takes me back mehnn....

Jerry2i:
Fair to me.
But 2baba should have at least claimed 3 spots on the top 5, followed by maybe flavour and style plus

almost all the songs in his first and second albums should feature here. Even his intros

richiemcgold:
Tuface African Queen at number one is well deserved. 💯🫡👍

Unfortunately till today, most afrobeat songs lack quality lyrics. Many of those artists can't go far in their career because they can only sing about "baby", "party" and "money", nothing else.

that's why I rate Johnny Drille and Omah Lay really high.

2 face first and second albums will always remain evergreen and unsurpassed as far as Nigeria music industry is concerned.

IGBOSON1:
Can't believe they forgot to include Patoranking! Or did i miss seeing his name?

Even Angelique Kidjo self no feature for here, I rate her very highly.

Toluwanise247:
That one is biodiversity conservation

It's the same principle, just framed differently. Elephants are sacred in Thailand, cows are sacred in Hindu, you touch any of them and you will face a far severe consequence than this man in Anambra

franchasng:
It must be Idemili, but why hold on to such archaic tradition in today's world?

Eke Idemili ought to have expired na.....the deity is no longer active like in the olden days that it did wonders for the community

Not only idemili, there are other parts of Anambra and Imo state that view the python as a sacred animal.
You can call it archaic but if you kill any wild animal in the USA you will likely be charged and deported within a week.

richiemcgold:
What is sacred in a python? Is python not a snake? A serpent? 🤥🤥🤥 How can a serpent be sacred?

it's sacred because it's sacred to the community.

donmixc:
sacred what? a dangerous python is what southy people are calling scared. how backward the southy region can be

if to say e happen for north, they will gather and call us unprintable names

Nairalnaders and their bold display of ignorance will never seize to amaze me. Ball pythons are not dangerous to humans, they're very harmless especially in communities where they're not killed.

CharleyBright:
Will they parade the python if it kills the man or any person?
Africans and senseless traditions.
In this time and age, some people are still believing and aligning with deities?
Ibos still doing Dibias and Ezenwanyis upandan.

senseless traditions, but go to the USA and Kill a python in the wild and See if they don't jail and deport your black ass back to Africa.

Toluwanise247:
Is like most of the people in the state are stupid or what nonsense

It is an offence to Kill wild animals in some places in USA. My uncle's friend was deported the next day because he killed a raccoon on the streets.

LagosOrigin:
It's forbidden to kill python in some places in Anambra state

That's the tradition there

And some parts of Imo state too.

Basic123:
THE LAGOSIAN should chill....she will abuse ABUJA/NORTHERNERS too one day.

Its in her/their blood.

I am very sure she was happy when she was posted to LAGOS too then

But the funny thing is that she will never abuse that sithole of a village where she came from

Ewu. The girl you're attacking is even a Yoruba girl.

simpleseyi:
How many Yorubas do you see slaving in Igbo land? Very few

Oga come to Aba, your women and girls are Hawking agbo from Osisioma junction to Opobo road.

Funflipper:
They have all forgotten so soon about the trailers loaded with corpses arriving the east from the north. The wailing and gnashing of teeth accross the southeast as people try to identify their dead relatives massacred by the northerners of which some haven't been found till date. Now some ignorant morons are aligning with the same northerners who massacred their people to wrestle power from their own southern brother in the name of politics. What a disgrace!!

Didn't that same southern "brother" align with that same north to wrestle power from their other southern brother?

helinues:
Where are the people getting money from?

Wait, before scrutinizing, we read some days ago that our purchasing power is decreasing, but this consumer reports is saying otherwise.

If you don't have the basic knowledge about this discussion , don't waste your time quoting

So that is what you understood from this article?
Purchasing power is not increasing, people are now spending their savings on essential commodities.
