This guy sounds truly intelligent. I'm not one given to reading stuff from Nigerian artists, but this guy is truly one very humble and diplomatic dude.

If your comment states otherwise, that's because you probably just went with the title of the post without reading through.

quote author=GistMore9 post=80635046]From winning the BET awards for Best International Act and featuring in Beyonce's Lion King Album, Burna Boy says Nigerians love him now because the rest of the world does.

Talking about his album which will be released tomorrow and his music in an interview with Billboard, the Rivers State born singer said his plan is to take his music worldwide and also play in a stadium in China. But first, he’ll embark on a 17-date global tour of 1,000- to 3,000-capacity venues starting Aug. 9 in Toronto.

“This has always been my vision,” he says. “Not like I planned it, just that I knew I should stick to doing what I’m doing. It’s almost like climbing steps -- you keep going up.”

Also speaking on his local growth, Burna Boy stated that Nigerians only acknowledge him now because the rest of the world does.

“Nigerians love me a lot more now because they can see that the whole world likes me, too. They think I’m something special, but I’m not. I’m just a human whose skill is making music. Way I see it, everyone plays their own role in the world, and no role is more important than the other.”

On becoming one of the richest Nigerian artists, he said, “You are only as rich as where you come from, and Nigeria has a lot of poverty.”

I don't entirely agree.

It seems to me that when a case is high profile, with the possibility of high media coverage, our celebrities suddenly have a voice, and turn into freedom fighters. Yet turn their eyes and form busy when the same cases happen in their villages or in rural areas every day.

The Dakolo case they all lent their voices to isn't the first alleged rape case, but Kate and her colleagues made an already popular case more popular. I understand solidarity to a colleague, which is awesome.

Albeit, if only they would lend their voices from time to time to the impoverished; those who truly don't have the means or wherewithal to fight for themselves, knowing how much impact their voices would make, then I would dolf my hat for them.

I wish Kate Henshaw and her likes would agitate for justice over seemingly ordinary cases, cases that normally would not make the news, just as they rose up for Busola Dakolo.

en a case is high profilethor=Omudia11 post=80588381]Kate Henshaw has her personal life to live and can't Wade in on every injustice in Nigeria. What have you done about it?[/quote]

Hahahaha.

Social media buzz has always been about controversies. I don't think he would make this headline if he had submitted to Otedola's line of thought.

This was a comment made on social media by Otedola because he wanted engagements. So I believe Otedola appreciated Freeze's input, and didn't have issues with it, so why should any of us?

Everyone is entitled to an opinion; no matter how rubbish it sounds; it doesn't mean they aren't thinking right. It's just people seeing things differently, which makes the world not boring.

If this is all Freeze does, I don't think people will have issues with him. He constructively erred his opinion, and I think that's nice.

If he uses the same approach in voicing his reservations against some of the ills carried out by church leadership, I don't think he'll have too many enemies.

quote author=Cantonese post=80589347]

Rubbish talk from a rubbish person. Never reasons appropriately. A very wealthy person tells you that it is waste of funds when you have your phone right in your hands serving the same purpose. Any right thinking person without hesitation will agree with Otedola. Instead of talking and reasoning constructively he quotes names to back up his usual baseless talk.[/quote]

I am curious as to why 4-5 cultists from different cults will be after just your girl friend. Is she the only fine babe in the school? What exactly is she selling that they are so eager to buy? Don't flatter yourself that it's because she's miss universe.

The fact that the girl in question doesn't seem perturbed that she is attracting bad guys is worrisome.
Is it possible that there's more she's not telling or are you probably missing some obvious signs of who she really is because you are so in love?

But wait ooo...shouldn't any cool headed, decent, God fearing girl see it as a cause for concern that cultists are after her? This one that she is enjoying the whole charade and encouraging you to be a man, and fight the cultists on her behalf is simply baffling.

I went through school and there were some truly very pretty, drop dead gorgeous babes that cultists wouldn't dare go close to simply because they aren't their type.

Cultists don't just go after any body; do your findings. For 4-5 cultists from separate cults to be chasing one babe, I feel strongly that you may not know this girl well enough.

So again I ask: what is this girl selling that the cultists are fighting over themselves to buy?

That's the question any cool headed young man whose destiny is important to him should be asking.

Timil:
Good day Nairalanders I'm Jay (psuedonym) by name and I need your candid advice please bear with me if my writeup is long.

Several thoughts have been running through my mind all day and I've been trying to get an answer within but none is forthcoming. Flash back to some few months ago there's this girl I met in school, she's sweet, lovely and she's got everything I want in a woman, we started talking and we got to know each other.

During one of our conversations she told me about a particular guy of the Aiye confraternity who has been hitting on her but she claimed its nothing to be worried about so I waved it aside.

Few months later she gave in and gave me a yes, precisely six weeks ago but on the 7th of this month (Sunday). She told me a friend of hers decided to take her out only to discover that its a gathering organised by some gang members to celebrate their annual anniversary (7/7).

She said she met some other gang members who has been hitting on her there, according to her claim she said nothing transpired between her and the members of the secret society but during the convo I got to know that apart from the other guy in Aiye there are also two other cult guys from different gang who are also after her.

I didnt take it as much of a big issue I just told her to be careful of friends and people she moves with. Sunday went by and today (Wednesday) after lectures while hanging around the school premises she showed me two other gang members who had approached her and who still holds an interest in her making it 4/5 or more cult guys who are hitting on her.

From that moment I wasn't at ease but she didn't seem bothered or disturbed like I do infact she was still getting cosy and all loved up with the PDA despite the fact that I was trying not to draw attention at that very moment.

When I got back to my hostel while thinking of what to do I remembered that two-three weeks before we started dating I had a nightmare in which some gang members were after my life.

I thought of the nightmare and the current circumstance I am and I can see some sort of relation I've been thinking whether to continue the relationship or end it even though its still young, fresh and filled with love.

Please Nairalanders I need your advice on this, thanks for your help.

Not necessarily. He may have been advised to resign or his appointment terminated. So it was an easy choice for him to resign. What happened under his watch was a serious bridge of bilateral relations.

mrbyron:
Small insult, these people will just resign as if they are working for Npower. These guys have too many career options

Like seriously? Most efficient? Maybe efficiency has another meaning.
quote author=haywire07 post=75997060]I know my baba . And I love my baba.

Whether he loses or not, I'll always stand with him as the most efficient leader Nigeria has ever had since 1999 , despite his tough policies.

God Bless Muhammad Buhari[/quote]

I believe the old man should be given some slacks.

There are several card carrying members of parties that aren't voting for their presidential flag bearer in the elections.

It only goes to show that we haven't come to a place in NIgeria where we are party loyalists.
The individual that would deliver should be who commands our vote.

If anything, I believe that's what the baba has gone to prove.

Democrats in America are a free will party. Hence they support gay marriage, abortions etc.
That's their ideology and even the blind knows that.

The same applies to the Republican party that have very traditional values. So mostly seen as a Christian party.

My point?

You know why you are a Democrat or a republican. And any candidate that emerges from any of these platform must uphold these ideologies.

What is PDP's ideology that we all know?
What's that of the APC?

Yet, we are screaming I am APC or PDP.

We haven't gotten to a place in this country to be loyal to a party o Jere.

Vote an individual you believe can deliver change.

Lastly, during the June 12 presidential campaign. Even though we had SDP and NRC, during the polls, can anyone remember what happened?

Irrespective of party affiliations, people came out enmasse to vote MKO.

So before you crucify this baba, know that he is just being loyal not to a party, but to the person he believes can command change.

Interesting watch. Just wonder why Sowore seemed to be the one desperately seeking Bobrisky's attention; when it should be the other way round.

Kinda disappointing.

I believe we deserve a president with charisma and carriage; one who isn't interested in licking asses to make that happen.

I wouldn't be voting for Buhari but notice how even his silence makes even his opposition want to bow. I guess one of the stuff he got from the military.

And this has nothing to do with his being president. It shows his mindset.

Atiku too does well in this regard.

Fela Durotoye too dey try.

How can this guy be begging to take a shot with Bobrisky for crying out loud. He doesn't even know who he is.
#myopinion.

100% Atikulated.

It's appalling how someone would commend a threat to life, when there are measures constitutionally to deal with issues like that.

It's truly sad when Nigerians speak from their anuses.

This isn't about Buhari or ipob, it is about the rule of law. No wonder our soldiers are always trigger happy to waste lives over trivialities.

People like you are the reason Nigeria is in a mess. What has ipob got to do with a president threatening the lives of her citizens?

Why am I not surprised? Every nation gets the leader they deserve. As long as our thinking is still this myopic, then there isn't any hope in sight for our election of credible leaders.

BTW, I'm not Ipob, but a Nigerian advocating that youths receive anointed common sense.

Let me ask:

Do you seriously think that there's one politician that isn't corrupt? I believe you know the answer to that.

Winners Chapel member reveals how the church’s hand band delivered her form ritualists in Abuja. She shares her experience below

#GOD GAVE ME #DOMINION #OVERDEATH IN THE HANDS OF RITUALISTS.
#PRAISETHELORD My name is LETURA SAAGWE and I’m privileged to serve in the Sanctuary Keeping Unit and also Crowd Control Unit.

On Monday, the 14th of January,2019 is a day I will never forget in my life and one I will forever give glory to God. After the Communion Service on Monday, a brother gave me a lift to Maitama junction where I could easily get a car to Maraba where I live. Myself and a lady whom I met standing there, boarded a vehicle and unknown to us, the four guys in the car were ritualists. Immediately the car took off, the guy at the front seat told us that they were kidnappers and they were going to use us for sacrifice, he brought out a white substance and blew on our faces and immediately the other lady passed out, but because I am too defended to be a victim, the charm did not have effect on me, the God of Dominion neutralized it.

Immediately I began to pray and declared that I have dominion and as such, I can not die. I reminded God of the covenant I have with Him and the prophecies of His servant in the house, Pastor Chris Abraham. And while I was praying, they were busy beheading the other lady and cutting off the vital parts which they needed from her. I remember I had a mantle in my bag and as I tried to remove it they collected the bag from me. They searched it and took my phones and ATM cards, they asked me if I had money in the cards and I said yes, they brought out POS and began to make withdrawals. After the withdrawal, the driver ordered one of them to strangle me, brethren, they did everything possible to kill me but to no avail because my God was on duty.

When they became frustrated, they brought out knives and iron and started hitting me all over, they began to stab me all over with daggers but to no avail, one of them brought out a gun and shot at me twice but like my father Pastor Chris will say, God has built around me an inpenetrable wall of defence.

They started shouting and asking me where I was hiding the charm they thought I was using and one of them pointed at my dominion hand band and said that’s the charm she was using. They began to pull the hand band but They began to pull the hand band but the power was too much for them, they could not remove it. Out of anger and frustration, they tore my clothes and one of them attempted to have a carnal knowledge of me but the others refused him and said that wasn’t their mission and so he left me.

I was asked if I knew where I was and I said no, and they told me I was at Kaduna road and they asked if I knew my way back and I said no. They thereby drove back all the way and dropped me off at Wuse zone 3 by the road side. I checked my bag and discovered that my tablet phone was not taken and with that I was able to make calls and that was how I was rushed to the hospital.

I have come like that one leper to return all #glory, honour and adoration to the #God of #Dominion.

Wow...the God of David Oyedepo is at it again. Glorayyyyy!

Eshinwaju:
Atiku will never be president.

Whether he does or doesn't will be up to the February elections to decide.

But let all and sundry canvassing for president Buhari remember when the next four years comes to a pojt where people begin to roast tebir children for meals, that you sold your children's future because of very selfish reasons.

Ask yourself as you sleep tonight. What exactly has APC done to deserve a second term? And what are you anticipating for the next 4 years besides making assumptions?

Even Buhari has no clue what the next 4 years will bring, and you dare leverage your children's future on a blurred vision.

Please tell your children how you sold their future for something that isn't gold, because you chose not to see reason.

Atiku isn't a saint, so is Buhari.

But who truly has a promise to deliver? Then , I believe that person is Atiku, if for nothing, he can think for himself, and knows how to leverage information.

Ask yourself candidly:

Aren't you super scared of your president's performance in the debate tomorrow? That's if he shows up.

You truly want to tell your kids that having a president that is vast isn't important?

The last years of PDP administration may have been filled with corruption, but there's no denying the fact that businesses, events and activities still flourished.

We now have a Nigeria where everything is at a stand still, and a few people claim to be fighting corruption. Yet we are borrowing $100m amidst all the talk of recovering loots. And a trader mini scheme that is entering into the pocket of the organizers.

If that isn't the height if corruption tell me what is.

Where is MTN project fame that raised stars? Maltina street dance that enriched families, the list goes on...

I can't begin to imagine what the next four years will be, even with an administration that clearly has no clue as to how to bring us our of this mess.

If they had something to prove in the last four years so as to win your reelecting them in, and they under performed is it when you give them another four years on a platter with nothing at stake that they will now perform?

Show me one Nigerian politician that performed better during a second term, and I will show you a saint.

Wake up, this is beyond you or me, its about proving to these guys that we have the power to hold them accountable with our votes when they don't perform optimally.

Stop assuming Atiku will steal the nations treasury, does he seem to have what it takes to deliver?

Eshinwaju:
Why did Atiku go with Saraki under the cover of legislative diplomatic immunity? Why was he constantly looking behind his back? Why does Saraki have to be there? Why did atiefku go when the USA government has a shutdown? I am ashamed on his behalf...let him go in his personal capacity as a private citizen....nonsense.....

I think you are missing the point. This isn't about all the questions you are asking.

Whether he entered via diplomatic immunity or through witchcraft isn't important. When Lauretta Onochie and APc cronies were saying if he entered the US he would be jailed, I guess they didn't figure that there was a supposed clause to his entry, right?

Accept it or leave it, Atiku proved them wrong. How he entered is immaterial.

HtwoOw:
Serial liar and fraudster

Atiku was booked as aide to senate president nobody invited him

Don't you think you are missing the point? The argument was about if he could enter the US or not.

Whether he was booked as an aide or not, is completely irrelevant.

Did he or did he not enter the US, as opposed to popular opinion that if he dared he would be jailed?

HtwoOw:
PDP and fraud


be like garri and groundnut

When people make comments like this, it only goes to show how myopic we still are as a people.

Who are the people that makes up APC? Aren't they from PDP? By the time we start looking beyond sentiments and consider that posterity will judge us for any selfish decision we take, then we would make heads way.

What exactly is a vote for Buhari in the next 4 years worth?

In case you haven't noticed, with all the claims of corruption in the PDP governments, we still had shows like MTN project fame, maltina dance hall, NAIJA got talents, etc.

Our economy was alive.

You keep talking about fighting and recouping monies from corruption, yet we are about to borrow $100m again.

Question is what is the money being recouped used for, that we had to become headquarters of poverty in world?

Let's not be deceived. The issue with Nigeria isn't corruption. Has never been, and will never be.

A nation that has a working economy is what we should be looking at begetting.

Because I tell you, from Buhari to the last man in his cabinet, there isn't one saint amongst them. Tinubu, Oshiomole, Rochas and co all exist in the APC na. Are you saying these guys are now saints because they are in APC?

It's clear that your judgment is based on voting for a party. But no party can save Nigeria.

I'm not an Anambrarian or from the East, but even the blind could attest to the transformation of Anambra by Peter Obi, why not even try to take a chance with a man like that.

Haven't you noticed that Buhari and his cohorts truly have nothing to offer. If the first term when they had to prove to us they are capable of reelection, they couldn't perform, is it when they have a chance to come back with nothing at stake that things will change?

Businesses have folded up, everything is on a halt, with no promise of something tangible for a change. No policies that make sense. Everyone of them is just guessing and playing with our future.

All those programmes that have gone to sleep were enriching people, and bettering lives.

Today comedians are broke, artists can hardly be invited for functions, and you ask why yahoo plus seem to be the option for youths? A situation that has turned our ladies into perpetual prey to brothers that should be their allies.

If you are still screaming sai baba at this time in our nation, I want you to know that whatever you see after you cast your vote for Buhari, is a stake you made on posterity-- And it will never forgive you, and you know why? You voted knowing the odds, but chose instead to trade with the destinies of your children yet unborn.

I used to have a senior colleague who earned thrice as much as I did, but always became broke soon after her salary hit her account.

This lady would then begin to seek financial assistance from all who cared to listen to her story, of how she seemed to have too much financial responsibility shoved down her throat.

When I got tired of her being continually harassed by those she owed, I sat her down one day and practically begged her to explain how she spends her money that puts her perpetually in debt.

After she did, I couldn't help but burst into spasms of laughter because I found the leak.

Like her, most people do not think having knowledge of personal finance is necessary, you probably think only accountants need to bother themselves with numbers.

But the dramatic turn your finances will take simply by making essential financial decisions will marvel you greatly.

According to Investopedia, personal finance is the science of handling money and it entails the financial decisions and activities of a person or group of persons.

Practicing how to earn, save, invest, and spend is what knowledge of personal finance would accord you.

Here are some 5 habits which could help you save money and keep you from being broke.

1. Avoid spending on impulse:

Hey, it isn't everything that calls for your attention that deserves your spending money on. That's why you need to make a budget for your income to avoid spending on impulse. Creating a budget is one thing and sticking to it is another. But if you need to see yourself soar above debt and having some money to save, then spend money only on what you need not on what you want.

2. Put a check on your benevolence:

True, everyone is a friend to someone who loves to spend money but its also true that no one wants to befriend anyone who is broke. Make sure every giving you do is worth it, avoid giving for showmanship.

3. Restricting the amount of money in your wallet:

This is necessary to check to spend on impulse. As you may have observed, whenever you have money in hand, several things will call for your attention. For one, that's when you remember a waiter you need to give extra tips to, etc.

4. Spending less than you earn monthly:

Have a strict budget that involves your spending within your monthly income. If any expense shows up after your budget has been made, carry it over to the next month. That way, you aren't incurring debt or living above your earnings.

5. Always negotiate before purchase:

Some persons think that negotiating for a few cents or a couple of dollars being waved from the price of a product or service is a poor man's mentality but truth is, rich people are very good negotiators.

If you save a couple of dollar bills every day for 30 days, that's 30 dollars minimum and for 12 months it isn't small money.

In all, pay careful attention to those monies you think are too small to make a difference in your life that you spend carelessly for it's capable of making you broke. Every spending should be carefully planned.
