RedEboe: Till date I have been unable to watch Psquare's Ejeajo music video from begining to end for no other reason than the fact that i find that video/song utterly disgraceful.

Most devoted/diehard Psquare fans feel the same way too, but many will not say a word; some keep on replaying Ejeajo, hoping the song will eventually grow on them...its not happening.

Psquare has released its first major flop and the inclusion of American rapper T.I will not save them this time around.

The Ejeajo song sounded below average, ordinary, nothing catchy, no rhythm and to sum it all up, totally tasteless. It seems as though the sole purpose of this song was just to feature T.I and break into the American market.

I can bet my very last kobo that any American (Black) who's opportuned to watch Ejeajo video will laugh off his seat saying, "Who are these African booty scratchers trying too hard to sound like us and dance better than Usher?"
I felt the same way watching Peter Okoye putting in so much "gra gra" into his dance moves.

But on a serious note, about Nigerian artistes wanting to break into the American market; do these Nigerian artistes think that the Jay Zs, P Diddys and Dr Dre's will sit back and watch Nigerian music break into US Hip hop market? Especially in an America where music and sports are the few things black Americans can really hold on to. So they (Black American artistes) will allow some black African musician to come in and steal their domestic market share?

Nigerian music is already big in many African countries like Kenya,Zambia,Ghana and even South Africa. Do we think indigenous artistes and music promoters in these African countries are happy with Nigerians dominating their respective music scenes?

Why will Black Americans not stay proactive and stop Nigerian music from gaining foothold in their market?

Now here's the truth,someone should tell Psquare that its time to go back to the drawing board and re-invent themselves. I don't know the duo's football age but i'm guessing they are in their mid thirties. When dancing musicians start growing older or maturing, they concentrate more on the quality of their music, where more matured dance steps are incorporated. 'Matured dance steps' here simply means slow but sleeker dance moves, just like USHER in GOOD KISSER. And definitely not the 'gra gra' Peter Okoye was showcasing in Ejeajo, epecially to a lousy song.

I think it's time the Okoye twins take a break from music for some time; perhaps they can go concentrate on their respective marriages or try to mentor younger musicians with the ability to sing and dance.

After a few years, Psquare can return with a new style and sound.

For now,Psquare has lost it and i hope their closest fans and admirers tell them this truth before it's too late.

Remember Dbanj?

Logicalmindy: Publicity stunt. They didn't have to share the picture for the whole world to see.

juman: Without doubt gov. fashola has performed well. He has done many infrastructure development.

Those housing estates commissioned, bridges constructed etc were not built by spending stones but money.

Daily running of lagos alone consume a lot of money.

Of course we still have many complains, we expect them (apc) to perform better. They should borrow big money to pursue their programmes.

olushowunm: You have tried much to explain to you! It seems you are indefatigable and can't even comprehend my words!

olushowunm: . I don't know where to start again, because I don't understand your comment, is it the Naira/$ conversion or the partisan politics palava. And I don't remember where I mentioned APC nor PDP here. Is Kaduna state a APC state? Then about the figures, whether IGR is N237billion, or N450billion, its clear they have revenue potential. But my own state just zoomed to N6b/month from N730m from last administration. So our Governor can borrow more money because of its increased revenue! So read my comment very well. Thanks.

olushowunm: Most people here are getting the news wrong. First, for Lagos, its an healthy loan, because Lagos currently have over N450billion ($2.8125billion) which is healthy. Do most people compare Lagos to Plateau, they are not the same pedestal as Lagos is thirsty for growth and also with huge revenue potential. Do you expect a place like plateau waiting for federal allocation and some meagre IGR from Nabisco and Grand Cereals to take $1b debt? Who will give them? Not in this world!

Blockus: I never told you where I worked.. Just thought to let you know that struggling academically was never an issue with me even as at when I was a student so let's not walk that line.

And I am not angry.. just surprised at how brave you still are despite the fact that your horrendously scripted post stands as a witness against you.

Rawani: Kindly list the founding members, key actors and principal officers of the two relevant political parties in Nigeria. Dangote feeds you, and his taxes grow the economy. The only 2 Nigerians on the Forbes list are northerners. The contribution of agriculture to the GDP is increasing and northerners are building Ultra-Modern Farms left, right and center. Northerners are not chestbeaters. Marry these phrases and go figure.

SirShymex: See the problems with most of us is that: we've been indoctrinated with so much bias, and we do everything based on the ideology/thought-process that we align with, and when we ought to make logical statements - we let our innate bias take over our thought-process. And more time, we do everything based on the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" without any objectivity.

It's one thing to have a right to defend yourself, and it's another thing to be an aggressor and an apartheid regime, that loves killing a small fly with a sledge hammer - just to prove an inconsequential point.

If Israeli had stayed within the territory that was assigned to it in 1948 - and allowed the Palestinians to have their country. That place would've been peaceful. However, it has blocked every effort for a Palestinian state - and Israel itself created Hamas in Gaza for divide and conquer against Arafat and the PLO in west bank. So must the innocent Palestinians suffer for the monster Israel created? Why has Israel refused to go back to its real borders, but rather than do that, it keeps building settlements all over Palestinian lands? And why's Israel blocking all efforts for a Palestinian state?

Also, isn't Israel the same country that used to invade Lebanon all the time, till Hezbollah was created to stand against its aggression? Yet most of you act like Israeli's aren't the perpetual aggressors in that axis

Rawani: Commerce, Agriculture, Politics a.k.a Thrive, Eat and Rule. .

SirShymex: Utter tosh!

Do you even know the IDF doctrine and how it's mostly about the destruction of civilian infrastructures? I bet Hamas were also hiding in UN schools and hospitals, no?

Under international law when you're fighting against a defenseless pseudo-country with no army, there's something called: measured response. What Israel did in Gaza was terrorism and genocide - and most Israeli's know that. You can't defend that bs.

Rawani: What I would be worried about is never having the privilege of these positions or influence and being dominated by political masters, yet having a 59.1% poverty rate (only 18% less than the north) and being plagued with societal vices from the pit of hell like grandma rape_, baby manufacturing, ritual killing, Cannibalism etc. and still cursed with not having hope of leading my own country in the nearest future. That is losing on both ends! Even the Israelites took a shorter time to reach the promised land.

dragan: So the first thing you did in the morning was to come on Nairaland and post this junk

SirShymex: You don't judge the winner of a war/confrontation between countries based on casualties, especially when one has an overwhelming superiority when it comes to firepower, and the other has no army. You do so based on achieving the objectives it set out to achieve. If judging based on casualties were the yardstick to judge winners - then the Soviets who lost 20 million souls during world war 2 should have been the losers of that war, but everyone believes they defeated the Nazi's. Also, US should have be the winner of its wars against Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan - but that wasn't the case.

Yes, Israel destroyed the little infrastructures in Gaza, and killed thousands of defenseless innocent people, including women and children. However, did it achieve anything? - absolutely not. The tunnels are still there. Hamas still have the capabilities to shoot rockets at Israel. But it has managed to ostracise itself with the adventure and PR, with most people around the world supporting the Palestinians. When the negotiations are completed - it will end up removing the over three decades of blockade it has over Gaza.

There's no winner - both sides lost. And where is your sense of humanity by celebrating the brutal deaths of innocent children just to make a point?

datribune: 1. d whole world, not just d Arab world has for d past 47yrs been fighting thru various resolutions of d united nations dis rogue-state which has continued to defy UN & world opinion by continuing wit d occupation, dispossession, expulsion & denial of d rights of d indigenous Palestinian people.
2. In a fair world, d whole world would unite to fight zionism which up till 1991 nigeria & UN nations voted as racism & a threat to world peace.
3. It is naive & unfair to compare d Palestinian struggle wit d BH senseless carnage. Pls be clear. d Palestinian struggle is about an illegal land grab by zionists not a conflict by religious terrorists.

datribune: U conveniently forgot to mention d role of nuclear America in that war. Without d moral, financial & armament support frm d USA, dis rogue-state would hav been history

datribune: I think d Israeli army is overrated & overhyped.for the israeli army, d fifth largest in d world to be flexing its muscle & feeling strong while fighting a bunch of lads wit crude home made missiles is not really a fair fight & is more of bullying than war. Methinks dat it's a shame dat dis rag-tag army of hamas fought them to a standstill & killed so many of their soldiers inspite of all the help & ammunitions frm America. Satanyahu's ill-adviced war has only helped to unite d Palestinians & strengthened hamas whose acceptance was dwindling b4 d war. Satanyahu should embrace d 2-state solution & stop building settlements on Palestinian land

LagosBoi2: So you think palestinians are celebrating the death of the people?, you guys can be funny in reasoning. They are not able to reach a deal for weeks before now because isreal did not consider the demands on hamas, Isreal now agrees to some of their demands and promised to discuss the rest. Usually palestinians get killed without a single isreali soldiers death but it's different this time, a whole 64.

Emmafrancis: You dey mind those jihadist? They don't even care about their own lives

LagosBoi2: I can remember many people ranting here that isreal will level gaza but unfortunately isreal experienced it's longest war in it's history with stiff resistance from palestinian brigades, They lost 64 isreali soldiers, It's their biggest loss in their history. They finally agreed to lift the seige and discuss further on allowing their airport and sea port to open and you say isreal has won? they lost and the palestinians won, that is why they are celebrating.

Some people can be so blinded by religion. If their pastor kills another man's child for his own child to survive then glory be to god but if another man kills their own in return, they become terrorists....smh

alqaeda: Just proves that the siege and bombings can never break the will of a determined people. Israel has been defeated. All their targets from the beginning were never achieved. Stopping of rockets was never and will never be achieved. Destroying of tunnels was not achieved. Continuing with the siege not achieved. So what have they achieved. Pikin wey say him mama no go sleep, him ma no go sleep. You want to live in peace but don't want others to. You want to kill other children but don't want yours killed. It's not possible. Congrats to the Palestinians.
