salbis: Davido is possibly living his dream life. This life na level by level, not everyone will have excess money and not everyone will be excessively poor. May God's grace locate us at an appointed time.
saphiere: IF I QUIT MUSIC AND WORK IN MY FATHER'S COMAPNY, I'LL BECOME A BILLIONAIRE IN DOLLARS - Davido
DMW CEO, Davido in an interview with the BBNaija host Ebuka on Bounce RAdio says if he quits music today and work in his father's company, he will become a billionaire in dollars. The DMW boss claims his brothers and sisters are richer than him. Speaking at an interview with Bounce Radio, Davido said he would still be a rich billionaire even if he stops doing music. Recall the ‘FEM’ hitmaker came under heavy criticism following the release of the song which has been explained as a diss to his colleague artistes. His words:
RoSeMaRyA: 125 million years indeed,who are thy deciving.
Very possible...many wild and weird creatures existed so many years ago...the earth is about 4.543billion years old and you tell me many creatures wouldn't have come and gone...common!...God is wonderful
QuickStandard: Whenever I look at this country, I just weep. Imagine the police telling Nigerians, they don't have the right to protest. Are they not Nigerians? Are they foreigners?
The leadership of this country is a joke, I must say.
However, I won't be part of these protests, "cos these police can be trigger happy, and ones you're shot, you're gone, no one cares, your family will be the one to suffer. I love my young family, I will rather hustle to put food on the table for my wife and kids, than die for this Banana Republic.
Let those that voted for change braze up, because they have seen nothing yet.
I heard, there are more police men in Edo Election, than there are in Southern Kaduna. What a useless Nation
GavelSlam: Just say you love satanists no one would fight you.
"Love your neighbor as you love yourself"...many of these Satanists show more love and do good to their fellow men/women than most of y'all.... there's no need hating Satan as that will change nothing in life generally.
Vulcanheph: Daddy freeze Is right and has always been right......i know that sometimes he goes a little too far, but most of the things he says are always correct (Even reno omokri said so himself), and he always backs himself with the Scriptures.......the only problem is that most Nigerians have been so religiously brain washed that we don't want to accept the truth.
SoccerUSA: As seen in the topic, I have two friends that travelled to the U.S, One travelled 2014 and the other one 2017, though before they left we had a good vibes we were both close if not best friends before they left.
The one of 2014 stopped texting me at 2018 or so even when I wished him birthday wishes and same with the other. I knew this because I only texted them on Facebook and you will know when they read and not reply.
I don't hold any grudges against them though Did you guys think it's normal? Like if I leave Nigeria, Would I also ignore my friends text even if they do not request anything from me?
Please can someone just explain to me so I won't see my friends (maybe former friends) as bad ones.
Don't mind em,they feel you will start begging for things from em,guy!,...you are better in your way,keep grinding and let em be...they feeling too big but remember they ain't God...Had same experience too,I just blocked em and cut em off then move on with my life...my destiny and theirs isn't tied together...Nigerians will buy iPhone and start feeling like they are above everyone else,Nigerians will travel abroad and forget those who stood by them all the while.....las las,we all go dey alrite regardless,it's only a matter of time....#peace.
[quote author= post=93552426]This is not the time to increase fuel price in our darling nation at all.
Not with all that is going on around the world, pandemic et al, When people are finding it difficult to survive.
This is the same reason we voted out the party of thieves and criminals.
This is not the change we voted for.
The same way we sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians praised this government when they reduced fuel price sometimes ago, we should make sure we put our voice together to castigate and talk against this.
That is the voice the government will listen to, Not the voice of children of hate, frustration and perdition that have never seen any good thing in our country, That all they do is to wail continously in life. They even wailed when the price was reduced. They have been wailing since PMB won the election, even before swearing in! They are not wailing for the common man like (Omotola) and all other sane and honest people are doing, but they are wailing in pain that the corrupt money being shared to them by the losers they support is not forthcoming anymore. They have been so used to corruption, they see it as a way of life. That is what we stand against.
Sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians, Let us come together to Say no to this fuel increase, We need no increament at this time and please ignore enemies of the country that want the evil politicians they voted for to remain in power together.
This is not the change we voted for. Something must be done about this NOW! God bless Nigeria.
If you are a genuine Nigerian against this increase like us, Signify and let us take it from here, We have the Voice and the Power as citizens. And if you are an enemy of the nation, aka, children of hate and perdition, aka swines, and dare quote this post to wail, May the suffering of the masses go to your heads and the heads of your looters you support a 100 folds. May you be strike down with the hatred for our country that has consumed you from day one. Quote, let us know who will be struck rn!
We Rise[/quote]In premium tears...I thought buhari was the Messiah you all prayed for...as for me and my family,we will survive till the very end and we will be here to watch evil doers die one by one.
Supreme145: Good day folks, I have been a visitor on nairaland for a while now so far I have really learnt a lot from here, I had to register so as to share my worries here because I know that I can get useful contributions. Please ignore my grammatical blunders,I'm not really good at writing.
I graduated from secondary school in 2010 at the age of 18 and 10 years later I seem to be moving around in circles. After secondary school I was given two options of going to the university or doing business, I chose business without thinking twice I needed money so school can wait.
Two of my uncles raised the sum of 150,000 for me after I was done learning a trade with the condition that I will pay back at the end of the year without interest. Then the ports were closed so I would travel to cotonu to buy male jeans and sold in Nigeria in wholesale. Business was moving well, I tripled my capital that same year by the age of 20 I had already counted my first million, I felt on top of the world, I spent on my family helped in paying house rent and my siblings school fees (I'm the first child), then tragedy struck.
After the second year my uncle whom I was staying with and contributed majority of my capital asked for an account of how I had been running the business which I gave him, I had already returned the other uncle's money by then. After the audit my uncle said he's going to add another money to my capital then after four years he would settle me, I refused citing that apprenticeship wasn't our agreement initially, the mother caused a big issue to the extent it had to be settled in the village. I had to leave my uncle's house to my parents since we couldn't reach a compromise, as for his capital over the years I had borrowed him money on several occasions which was already more than what he gave me as my capital, I forgot the balance and left.
Three months after I left my uncle, my goods was intercepted by customs in Benin, my agent which coincidentally happened to be that my uncle put my goods ( and that of others) in a vehicle carrying second hand tyres from Lagos to the east and everything in the vehicle was confiscated. We spent 5months trying to get the goods back spending the remaining savings I had, it was released after six months but most of the goods was either stolen or sold by customs, I got only around 10% of my seized goods back. I was back to square one.
After all my attempts to raise another capital proved abortive I gave up and started doing menial jobs to survive,my mom would always encourage me that I'm still young and would rise again. Two years after nothing tangible was fort coming, I was dead broke and depressed, I started feeling pressure at home when I couldn't bear it I relocated to port Harcourt in search of greener pastures. I slept in parks and slums till I managed to get a security job with a 15k salary then,I worked for some years and discovered that I wasn't making any progress in life,I wasn't saving anything and was still stagnant. I decided to venture into education, even though it wasn't my first choice at least I would have a certificate to be proud of after some years.
I got admission in the federal university in Benue in 2017 at the age of 25 to study statistics/computer science (bsc ed) it wasn't my choice but time was not on my side , most of my mates then had graduated and even working. My year one was hell, I resumed school with just my bag of cloths, no accommodation nor food stuffs, I slept in lecture halls and sometimes went for lectures without bathing,one time I called my dad and he said if I can't bear it I should abandon the school and come back,I later managed to get someone to squat me in the hostel, I got home during nuga break to meet the news that my dad just bought a land,so this man had money to buy land and allowed me to suffer in school ( he mind sha ).
Fast forward 3 years later and I'm stuck in 300 level not knowing what to do with my life,just being in school is not enough for me, I need to earn money because I became independent at a young age and depending on my parents now is serious giving me a cause for concern. I stayed back in school during the lockdown so I could think about my life, after reading some threads on nairaland I decided to go into programming since I had a semi abacus laptop on it's last legs,I got links to free courses on udemy and also enrolled for free courses on Alison and pirple.
Learning programming brought my joy back,I loved the critical thinking involved and realized I hated it before because of the way it was taught by our lecturers,I started with web development (HTML and CSS) and I observed I was grabbing it quit fast. Data was a problem but I managed the mid night subscription each time I manage to get airtime. I was happy once more cause I could code for hours on an empty stomach and I wouldn't care then tragedy struck again.
My system developed a fault, vertical lines appeared on the screen and it started having difficulty in booting,it finally gave up the ghost a few days later. I tried to improvise by using my phone to code but it was a horrible experience and I gave up. back to square one again,I had to go home and I haven't gotten myself ever since.
How do I break free from this poverty since I came back I have looked for job without luck, I haven't earned a dime since this year since I parted ways with my boss whom I learnt interlocking and concrete stamping under,the man was using me like a slave. Motivational speakers would say there's light at the end of the tunnel but mine looks like a maze/roundabout tunnel. I got home and yahoo is the trending stuff in the area even my younger ones has joined, my younger brother nearly picked 7million before the aza was killed in the dying minute (whatever he means by that), I seem to be the only one among my set that's still broke, I can't even remember the last time I got anything for my self, now I wear my younger brothers cloths and they recharge my phone for me,how long will I continue like this?? ..... I don't want to follow the yahoo band wagon, I'm beginning to lose hope.
Pls I need your comments and advice
My brother...it's not easy surviving in Nigeria except you steal either via fraud whatsoever,I have tried many things to earn a living too,but nothing to show for,working under someone is an issue,having a business is an issue in Nigeria,learning a skill is good but who will support with funds to acquire that goal in this present day?...only God can help us as we keep trying..A man's life ain't no joke.
Dosinspector: Gov. Obiano of Anambra State has been spotted in a picture recently with Fani Kayode wearing a rugged jeans. This mode of dressing has been Condemned by the public especially on social media. Below is the picture and social media comments
Nigerians and foolishness,always judging books by their covers,the Jean no rugged sef,abi na must to always wear native attire?.. Una go get sense one day...I see nothing wrong in obaino's outfit imo...y'all brush up your lives and stop the hypocrisy.
lablonclacla: Wizkid is still the greatest musician in Nigeria......forget all this burna hype. When we talk of range i.e how you can easily jump on any genre of song and still deliver well. Wizkid does it 100% e.g this jam called PAMI. He does afrobeats, afro fusion, afro pop, reggae dancehall, Caribbean and so on and so forth.
You see the problem is, time makes us easily forget how good this guy is which is understandable. Another major reason is the fact that wizkid doesn't do giveaways and all and so a lot of influencers don't like him at all. So the best option is to bad mouth him and i guess the best selling of all is the fact that he has Zero lyrics. Lol....well, i would give just five songs that have deep lyrics that you all can go check out.
1. Oluwa loni 2. Joy 3. Mummy mi 4. Thank you 5. Ease your mind
You could say these are his old songs but No.5 was released just last year in his last Ep but it isn't popular, you know why.......Nigerians want vibes and beat more than lyrics.
Let me quote a verse from Ease your mind
"Many thing don really open my eyes Many things don happen wey don open my mind Things don happen for my life, we make me realize Sey, many things go happen, and it's real fine Never let the small talks but the money get to me I dey work, I dey pray, omo nothing worry me I put my body on my grind, let the money control me Sey, my sound dem dey bus', they can't open their jaws Some days, it fi be like sey your rain no pour Hear my brother, even if it be like days too long Even if it be like sey your light no come Just ease your mind You know sey, this life na turn by turn When your time come, my brother, no go gone When your thing come, my brother, no go rush Just ease your mind"
This is a beautiful piece up there that is supposed to garner a lot of reviews but did anybody say anything?? No!! The simple answer is this isn't what we want but Joro and soco is known everywhere lol.
Lastly, wizkid has been in the game for more than a decade and is still the biggest. He is the highest and most streamed artiste in Africa forget all the hype of others. He was the first to fill up the mighty o2 arena in london and also the royal albert hall. He has a day in Minnesota called wizkid day. He was the first African artiste to win BET international act and has the highest BET award in Nigeria. He was the first to win MOBO awards too. The only African to have a song on billboard world chat for 15 weeks straight "One Dance" written by him. The pioneer of Africans getting their award on the main stage instead of back stage. He was part of those who made live band for a secular musician in Nigeria attractive. He has tbe biggest shows in Nigeria. Facially he is the citezt too. See, i no fit finish wizzy catalogue jare.
Summary of all these is because he doesn't hype himself and makes noise or do giveaways doesn't change the fact that he is the biggest African artiste.
I'll drop a list of 100 songs of wizkid that blew and you will please counter it with anyone who has as much hit as this BEAST we are underating.

dangermouse: U cant win it all. Dust urself, retrospect, restrategise, and bounce back stronger. Ur still one of the GOAT. No one can take away from u.
Alexgman1: Most of us here in naija are seriously aiming, dreaming, hoping, praying & even fasting to have the oppurtunity to travel abroad one day. Maybe to study, work, on vacation, evangelization or probably to start living there. If the oppurtunity comes and there you are to select any country of your choice to travel to, which country's visa would you go for & what made you choose that country? Lets see/hear your favourite country apart from NIGERIA your fatherland
Australia Japan Finland or any other unpopular good countries with less crazy fellows like the Americans.
Bighead9: Igbos are already working on Obaseki, the way they did last Year to Atiku, Sarakı and Dino Melaye. Obaseki is goding down, but he will win online.
You suppose do thorough washing and setting for your brain...you are too old for this tribal stuff,desist from it...thank you.
