THIS SONG IS RIDICULOUSLY HORRIBLE. WTF, WHAT KIND OF STUPID LYRICS ARE THOSE IF LOVE IS A CRIME THEN I WANT TO BE WANTED. IM NOT EVEN GOING OT WASTE MY TIME DOWNLOADIN THAT SHIT

Criminals are usually declared wanted and are hunted till they are caught.

Simple lyrics, no need using a dictionary to pen a song only your family will buy out of sympathy.

He wears a Ghana top and we want him crucified, check your wardrobe and count the foreign football stripes you have.

These guys are good in their diferent ways.

But i knew 2face has this special talent in him about 10 years ago when i was a freshman at Enugu state university( ESUT). There was this jingle he did for one radio station in Enugu; in the jingle, he sang more with his soul than his mouth. Uptill date, am yet to hear any song that really came in contact with my soul more than that 2 munites jingle.

@topic
These two guys are good in their latest albums, but i feel 2face sang more with his soul than just shouting all over the place.
On the other hand, i just think that whoever is comparing face to 2face is being sentimental.

The jingle you're talking about was in 1996 for Kevin Ugwu on FM Enugu,

then it was just 2 & Black and boy did they rock!!

I listen to 2, Black & Faze and don't give an eff who's the best

Why are we so obsessed with comparison in Naija, is it our complex in always trying to prove that we're better than the next person?,

kashmoney:

[b]na so beans dey quick done? tu face is just popular and not the best.make in bounce out [/b]

Do you need to be the best before you can do a collabo with Beyonce?

Despite all the hating, 2 keeps doing his stuff in his own way and I think that's why he's successful. He doesn't fall into the stereotype you guys want to see.

It reminds me of how IT geeks will forever call Microsoft products scrap but one Mr Gates keeps rising to the top.

It's the KISS theory. Keep It Simple and Stupid.

I first heard 50-50 in 2003 and became hooked.

He's tight, very tight.

Gimme a Lemar any day, any time

This guy is straight from the top drawers

In this time and age, only the desperate 30s should be contemplating polygamy.

Can't believe there is a Naija married man who has not shined the Congo and he's promising marriage and giving you a good time. But if it's actually true that you're yet to consumate your relationship, then there is only one word for the promises and trips, BAITING.

nightrider:

I'm an Arsenal fan not Man- U

Now I understand why you are so anti-Chelsea. It's the frustration of losing 10 matches in the premiership and NEVER winning back to back premiership.

Apart from Rio ferdinand and wayne rooney who's signings where high, Man u's other recruitments where relatively very low.
Cantona was bought from leeds for 1.2million and was considered a steal for such a player at the time. Ferguson moulded him into a great player. Roy keane was a nobody when he was bought by ferguson.

How much did Fergie pay to get a nobody Keano from from Nottingham Forrest? £3.75m in 1993 for a nobody? For others
Ruud £19m  2001
Andy Cole £6m 1995
Dwight Yorke £12.6m in 1998
Jaap Stam £10.75m in 1998
Sheringham £3.5m in 1997
Bryan Robson £1.5m in 1981

I never complained about the high fees chelsea pays for players, because then i would have to complain about real madrid and Ac milan and all other great clubs. Rather i complained about the sneaky way Chelsea does it.

Alex ferguson said recently that when buying players he has to hide now, because he wouldn't want to alert Chelsea to talent he has uncovered because they have a way of going through the back door.Can you blame him?

Robben, duff, Obi taken from Man U , Essien from arsenal, have all been taken through the back door. Chelsea's tapping of Ashley Cole etc. [/quote]

Robben, Duffy, Obi, Essien. You dropped these names as if they were obscure players before Man and Arsenal "discovered" them.

Alex Ferguson has won 17titles in a 20 year reign at united,
Arrigo saatchi won the european cup and four titles in Five seasons with milan
del bosque won two champions league titles and two european cups in four seasons
Benitez has won the uefa cup and champons league back to back
Fagbio Capello has won four champions league titles with various teams and apart from winning several scudetto's took Milan to an unbeaten run in serie A.

Let me take these one after the other
Jose has won 7 (8 if you count this year's premiership) titles in 6 years so what's so special about 17 in 20 years?
Jose won Champions League, UEFA Cup, 2 Portugese League and 1 Portugese Cup in 2 and half years with Porto
Jose won UEFA and Champions league back to back before anyone called Rafa
Jose has won titles with different clubs

question please, no beef here? If ranieri was sacked for losing in champions league semi final and coming 2nd in the league, would Mourinho be sacked for getting kicked out by Barcelona in only the second round?

Tinkerman was sacked because Chelsea wanted the best.  Why should Chelsea be ashamed of losing to Barca? You keep screaming Barca as if Jose didn't oust them last year without a striker.

As a die hard Mourhino fan, I can't help but reply night rider.

Mourhino has only been a coach for 6 years and for 5 of those years he has won titles. not moi moi titles o, he couldn't have won more than there was to win within the short time he has been a coach.

Obviously Nightrider is a Man U fan and before you throw any stone, dig into your club's history and look at the use of money in the recruitment of Steve Bruce, Bryan Robson, Gordon Strachan, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney to name a few.

Have you ever asked yourself why Man U has not been able to produce another set of players like the class of 91 (Beckham and co youth FA cup winning side)?

Instead of hating Jose, why not look at the wider picture?? Pay close attention to the influence of Jose, Rafa and Jol. Very soon, Wenger and SAF will belong to the record books.

@ababoy1:

Which year was Chelsea playing in front of 3000 fans? Hope you're not talking of the Bentley era of the 50s? What tradition are you talking about?

First year of RA, Chelsea placed 2nd and the shout was "Money Can't Buy Success" but when Jose came and we won the league it's now "Buying Success with Dodgy Russian Money".

If money can buy success, how come Inter Milan has not won serie A title with all the money Moretti has pumped into Inter or the Galaticcos are without a trophy for 3 years?

When you hear Blues haters talk, you'll think Chelsea was struggling in the bottom half of the league before RA came.

I think the way we won the league in style last season breaking almost all premiership records was too much for some to take.

demmy:

ababoy1 hit the nail on the head precisely. chelsea is yet to create tradition in football and the sudden success got to them much more morinho who from a nobody climbed to the top overnight.

Is Mourihno really a nobody??

Google Jose Mourihno and see his profile. He became a first team coach in 2000 and has won all there is to win in club football. What else do you need to become the "Special One".

Before you say it's because of RA's money, check out what he did in Portugal with a budget comparable to a Championship side.

A TRUE BLUE for life

A joke about what Sir Isaac Newton would have done when the famous apple fell in his garden if he was a Nigerian (he would eat the apple and then say "No be God" got me thinking about Nigerian inventions.

Not that I know of any invention from Nigeria but watching the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona on TV I couldn't help but wonder what we'd have been our contribution to the WiFi and BiMax world.

The first guy I asked said he would prefer a mobile shag detector so that he could remotely and easily tell if his boo was cheating on him.


Nairaland people, lets dream of gadgets Nigerians would have contributed to the world if we had the know how. What would you have wanted??

Why pay for a distro when I can get Fedora Core with very good community support for free every 6 months

oasis:

Nice work.

The Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo deal is cool. I don't know about Hausa though, since these people don't exactly value western education.

What's your beef with the Hausas? This comment is racist to me. Due you have documented facts to back up your claim or it's just your perception of the Hausa people

The collective greed that governs our existence in sub-Sahara Africa has eroded the little (if there was any) value system we had and without this value system we cannot have any meaningful development.

Angela just made a good point, watch Nigerian films when you want to laugh or you really have nothing to do.

@Omon.............How can an industry that's at least 13 years old (living in bondage came out in 92) still be in the infancy stage

You don't need an IQ to understand a Nigerian movie, in fact the first 20 minutes is enough for you to decipher the whole movie.

These movies are meant for the LIGs ( Low Intelligence Group).

Love has a lot to do with money...............Money is the oil that keeps the love engine moving

If you live in Naija you can wear any colour you like but guys if you live in a world where there are lots of gays please avoid pink by all means..........just don't listen to the ladies in the house, except you want a gay guy toasting you

10 days is enough to get well my brother....................afterall JT missed ENgland's matches against Wales n N. Ireland but still captained Chelsea against the cats on saturday

I used to have a hatred for gays and lesbos until I worked for 2 months with an NGO that deals with sexuality...................We have to learn to accept it.............people are born gay but the over-religious and stigma loving country of ours stops these people from openly expressing their sexuality.......................but it won't be for long............................I've friends in naija over are openly displaying their lesbo side........................if my child isn't straight......................what the heck....................I'll always love that child no matter what...........................

Choosing between your mother and your wife [or babe(s) for singles like us]  shouldn't arise at all...............If there's any monster-in-law scenerio, learn to draw the line...............both parties have different and non-conflicting roles in your life....................what you have for your mom is an undying and never ending love ....................and what you have with your wife is a contract that is renewed daily and can be terminated anytime.....................

I won't advise it for any reason not even the so called yeye love.................babes that do it, most of the time do it cos
1. The guy is a money-miss road  or

Trae, I have always thought you are an artiste worth his salt but I might have to disagree with your view for once. How can you ever get tired of a classic?

Nigerian artistes have produced few classics over the years like Fela's Lady n BONN, Sonny Okosun's 'Which Way Nigeria' and Mike Okri's 'Omoge'. 2Face's 'African Queen', Sunny Nneji's 'Oruka' and Styl-Plus's 'Olufunmi' are the best songs to have come out of Nigeria in this millennium.

From your blog, I know you are more disposed to rap music, so would you rather one of Nigerian Rap Songs be rated on same level with these songs? Brother, keep it real! Let's hear it for these guys in 2004.
