We all love fela, but stop Condemning others using fela as an example, I will only point out one of ur false claims. 'fela songs are religious friendly' bros how? Fela wey b atheist, de always insult pastors and Iman at any instance. Fela that almost or was having sex live on stage, Bros what is religious friendly in fela's music?

Can you name the song and let us evaluate what he was teaching there?

When he was using pastor and imam in that his famous song, do you know what he was implying? What he said, is it true or false?

Worshipers pour literarily “libation” (if you don’t know the signified in that case, it means upmost worshipping reverence) on their pastors or imams to the extent that they ambulate on foot to church or mosque whereas their pastors, Alhajis, imams etc use good ride.
Check religious schools and see if children from poor members or worshippers from the church or mosque can attend it?
Is that socially and morally right?
God has given everything to man but man should not make life hard for others to live in. If missionary schools were run like this, how many Africans would afford to be educated, seeing that education is paramount to one’s growth?

In terms of music, Fela Anikulapo Kuti is the Real Greatest of All Time. He is everything there ever was, is and still to come in Nigerian music world. His songs are critiques, influences, prophetic, all time defying relevance-death or demise, activistic in nature, all religious friendly and many more that words are ragged in poverty and shame to declare.


Most of what we have now are irrelevant and inconsequential to social and moral growth and development.

Wow... definitely, it has increased.

The law is for the poor and vulnerable. If a normal passenger does that, all hell would let loose and heaven would have been shaken in denying, discriminating, crucifying him but our preeminent “VIPs”, nothing “go seele.”

Mad nation... where are Funke Akindele’s crucifiers? Where are Naira Marley’s condemners? If seen, notify them that there attention is needed here!

It is appalling how these people get to lead “themselves and not us.” For God sake, I have never seen where there’d be increment in things as vital as electricity, water, food, neighborhoods (shelter) etc and they don’t affect the poor like the rich. In fact, they are mostly targeted at the poor, vulnerable and downtrodden social group. These people in power have consistently shown they have nothing like levelheadedness in their thinking box. They are myopic, foolish and hell-bound. Shh...

Thank you for giving us the dictionary meaning of peak; thereby indicating that peak or climax is immediately preceded by decline.

Common sense would have made u know the answer to your question. But since you seem not to have one, let me help you.

We can ONLY know when covid19 is at its peak when decline in the number of confirmed cases begin to set in. Because like a saying goes, when you start declining a mountain, then you've reached its peak.

Even your health minister does not know when. When countries with data analysis should use PEAK in discourse, those like Nigeria without accurate database should not bastardize the word PEAK. Coronavirus is hijacked and politicized. People like you can only be buying its panicky expecting to experience its PEAK. Malami, your political elite can attest to that. In as much as they show through their actions that it is all scam in Nigeria, who am I to antagonize their view?

Hope you saw the video of Malami’s son; Ajimobi’s burial; Abba Kyari’s burial and many others.

Your comments reveals your level of ignorance. Lemme oblige you a bit though.

The number of cases being reported daily by NCDC do not reflect the reality on ground. There are more cases which goes on reported. The government should approve more testing centres and equip them as well. NCDC are overwhelmed and do not have the resources (material and human) to increase the number of tests carried out daily.

Compare our population figures and the number of testings carried out so far, you will understand that we are still a far away from reaching the peak.

If you still do not get these as I see that you are already biased going by your initial comments, then I will not engage with you after this.

Your comment does not move in the direction of the questions poised but it digressed to “evaluating efficiency in testing and effective result in coronavirus pandemic”. Testing gives you result. Yes! Quite right. I agree. But the reason you can’t say specifically when we’ll have the popularized PEAK is because you find it rhetorical in nature. Oh yes! You can’t answer neither can another person answer it.
You won’t see any peak until you’re free from it or certain that the descending action won’t go beyond the precedent action, otherwise, you’ll have no PEAK. In Nigeria’s case, there won’t be any PEAK until they (the gainers of coronavirus) have “cashed out” a whole lot of money that would make them insusceptible to poverty. Coronavirus is hijacked and politicized. Shalom

Gbest90:
English language is your problem.

Peak means the point where it starts declining.

As at now the virus is still on the rise.

O Nigerians..... and to think this one might be a graduate**laughs**

You lack linguistic comprehension my friend
Peak means zenith, acme, highest point, the grandest gradient of an event before a causal slope falls gradually. In literature, especially drama, it is the most intense part of the whole scenery of the play otherwise called CLIMAX. If you said a play has its PEAK or CLIMAX here what follows it is called DESCENDING ACTION before DENOUEMENT or RESOLUTION (Fregtag Pyramid). One can deduce when it happens because of the intensity it creates. Back to coronavirus thing. You said Climax of it, I asked when is the peak?

If we record 1,000,000 cases in a day and you said we’ve reached the PEAK and a day in the succeeding month we record perhaps, 2,000,000 cases in a day, my dear friend, your PEAK assertion has failed. In slope, maybe in Physics, when you have curves moving here and there, the highest gradient I think is called highest or zenith. That is where your PEAK is but immediately you have another that is higher than that line, you can’t call it PEAK again but your new line.

English may not be your problem but comprehending it is your greatest problem.
You haven’t answered my questions. I am still waiting for your answers to my questions.

uboma:
We are yet to get to the peak.

We need to carry out more testing.

Some persons still do not believe that covid-19 is real...

Whenever I see something like “we are yet to reach its peak” I wonder if those saying it really know the meaning of it. What is the peak in coronavirus? When are we getting to the peak? How do we get to the peak? Is it when all citizens are coronavirus positive that we can say we have gotten to the peak?

When Americans or Europeans said “peak” a couple of months past, I knew Nigerians that do not even know anything would follow them to shout peak, peak, peak. Please, answer the above questions

Nigeria is heading for another recession in the fourth quarter of this year, the Federal Government declared on Friday.

According to the government, findings showed that the country’s Gross Domestic Product for the second and third quarters of 2020 were projected to be negative.

This, it said, implied that the country would slide into a second recession in four years.

The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, said the country’s real GDP had been projected by the National Bureau of Statistics to contract by 4.2 per cent in 2020, as against the previous projected growth of 2.9 per cent.


“Q2 and Q3 2020 GDP growth is projected to be negative, which means that the country will lapse into a second recession in four years,” she said.

She also revealed that the Federal Government’s earnings dropped by about 65 per cent following the cuts in oil production.

Ahmed spoke during a virtual consultative public forum in Abuja where she presented the Draft 2021-2023 Medium Term Expenditure Framework/Fiscal Strategy Paper.

She noted that the economy faced serious challenges in the first half of the year as the macroeconomic environment was significantly disrupted by COVID-19.

According to her, crude price dropped from $72 per barrel in January to below $20 in April 2020, making the $57 crude oil benchmark of the 2020 budget unsustainable.

“The massive output cut by OPEC and its allies to stabilise global oil market, with Nigeria contributing about 300,000 barrels per day of production cuts, resulted in about 65 per cent decline in projected net 2020 government revenues,” the minister said.

She said the revenue reduction was from the oil and gas sector and had adverse consequences on foreign exchange inflows into the economy.

“Unless we achieve a very strong Q3 2020 economic performance, the Nigerian economy is likely to lapse into a second recession in four years, with significant adverse consequences,” Ahmed said.

Ahmed also stated that the Federal Government planned to spend N11.86tn in 2021.


According to her, Nigeria’s monetary futunes would suffer a deficit of N5.16tn because of the government’s projected ability to generate only N6.98tn revenue all in 2021.

A former Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Andrew Yakubu, has told an Abuja Federal High Court that the cash the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seized from him, were gifts he received after he left office.


In February 2017, the EFCC recovered $9.7 million and £74,000 from Yakubu’s home in Kaduna.



Yakubu, who was a GMD at the NNPC between 2012 and 2014, was also accused of failing to disclose the monies in his asset declaration form.

He was subsequently charged to court and arraigned on six counts of money laundering.

However, while giving evidence as the first defence witness, Yakubu said 97 percent to 98 percent of the sum were gifts.


“The money was not received in bulk but in tranches of not more than $10,000 and not more than £5,000. And a substantial part of the money was given to me after I left office.

“And it was given to me on the occasions of birthdays, thanksgiving services, weddings of my daughters and other celebrations that I hosted after leaving office,” he said.

Yakubu also claimed he got two percent of the monies by saving from estacodes.

The case has been adjourned until July 22.

Aminu Adisa Logun, the Chief of Staff to Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, is dead.

According to a highly-placed Government House source, in Ilorin on Tuesday, Logun passed on after a brief illness in an undisclosed medical facility in Ilorin the state capital.


The late Logun was appointed the Chief of Staff to Governor Abdulrazaq in 2019, few weeks after his inauguration.

“Graduating students” is very confusing here.... In layman understanding, final year students in the Universities are ought to be included but this sounded ambiguous. They should have dilated more on it instead.

Thank God for the insightfulness if the management of the University of Port Harcourt. The school is already putting things in place even before this protocol for school resumption came out. That’s a good kudos to the management.

Funds that have entered voicemail. Buhari is shocked, Nigerians are on armchair and the unborn are still eating popcorns looks at the nation’s problems.

When countries in Europe, America, Asia are easing their lockdown, that’s where you see Nigeria resonating her voice to locking down ironically her most vital sector( though not vital but least, through taking a thorough check on management, funding, policies, structures etc). It is appalling that the most crowded zone (Market) is opened without following laid down rules while schools are shut. It is more egregious that the makers of law are the breakers of same laws. And it is most unthinkably wicked that the government rather than providing palliatives for her citizens denied them of such but created daunting task of suffering to her citizens through taxations. The same government is without blueprint on how to combat this pandemic or scamdemic (according to individual’s belief) and is now telling her citizens that their “survival is now in their hands”. Oh! Lord. My pipu, make nnah try sheta nnah sef o! Nigerian government doesn’t give a Bleep if you live or die as long as money comes in into the national purse.

Good music can be about anything.

Get that to your head, you old head!!

Music can be anything same way poetry can be composed on anything and everything.

mofedamijo:
You left out Dare Artalade......listen to his "pray for me" with Soweto choir on youtube if you haven't. I rate dude super-duper high.

Yeah I have listened to it. It was as a good one and there are some songs I may have omitted due to the availability of many nuisance songs around.

They’re all from the same source and produce the same gibberish songs except few ones from Burna’s “Ye”, Davido’s “Fall”, Wizkid’s “Ojuelegbe”, Tuface’s “African Queen”, D’banj’s early songs, Patoranking’s “Peace song”. Aside these songs, others are nuisance. Songs are poetic in nature: they must evoke that social sensibilities in the listeners, treating contemporary issues. But when the singer deviates from those societal significances, they become nuisance to the real world.

If 10,000 persons were claimed to have been tested in which it was a big fib, that’s a whooping 300,000,000 for cash out. Jesus! Scamdmic! . I know it will never be added to today’s livescore

bjprodint:
an not lying,it actually happened.i didnt believe it myself until she testified in church.God may actually give the op two kids only and they will both be AS.

I guess you don’t understand Genotype. It is blood related and no amount of prayer could change that from AS to AA or SS to AS. Stop lying. The only thing I can say in regards to your friend’s case is probably there was an error in her first test. Otherwise, “impossicant” is the name of such story.

It's fine, we good, you just made me relive what I went through during housemanship, 72hrs straight calls for a female for ungrateful pple no be beans sir.

Amen. That’s the prayer of all who seek greatness for his/her country.

Yes you have to undergo all these investigations, so he can take an informed decision, medicine is not magic and sometimes errors are made, it happens even in the western world.
Stop castigating doctors in nigeria, they work with so little, get paid peanuts and sometimes are physically abused, most nigerians are just ungrateful.

I castigated not only them but others holding this nation backward. I really did not want to generalize but in a case where generality is used, it means most are to be checked. The nation needs them in this pandemic or scamdemic (as the case may be) not for them to just abandon the poor victims of the disease (if it is real). Well, STRIKE is a weapon in the hands of individual or individuals to make known his/her/their demands. I understand that but we should not politicized lives with our demands. Like I said, the generality is mostly on individuals, even in the universities, there are many lackadaisical professionals who ought not to have been there but due to the loopholes in Nigeria, we now see them there managing the affairs of citadels of learning.
If at all you’re enraged, I beg for your pardon. I’m sorry for that.
