Govt go soon release Nnamdi jst 2reduce d growin popularity of Peter.

Wahala owa o

When King kObOkO says "organic", he means "not bought with money" & "not rented with ghana-must-go or bullion vans". So take note abeg.

Therefore, here are the Top 4 Nigerian politicians with the most organic followers in ascending order.

4. Peter Obi
This man is the undisputed underdog of the 2023 presidential race. Nevertheless, he lives rent-free in the heads of Tinubu, Atiku & Sowore's supporters as they can't stay a week without talking about Peter Obi. His followers call themselves the OBIdient ones & are very active on social media.

3. Rabiu Kwankwaso
If Nigeria were to break up today, this man would emerge the president of Northern Nigeria or Arewa Republic with a landslide because of his madt popularity in Kano and the North. He calls his movement Kwankwasiyya & his followers are more active offline.

2. Goodluck Jonathan
Or at least the Goodluck Jonathan of 2011. That man commanded a following that made him beat Buhari, Ribadu, Shekerau & even the evil genius himself Babangida. Goodluck still enjoys a lot of goodwill as an elder statesman.

1. Muhammadu Buhari
"Sai Baba!" was once chanted feverishly all over the North, the middlebelt & the South West because of this man. The 2015 election had to be postponed from "FeBuhari" to March because of the organic following he commanded. As Buhari slowly ends his 4+4 tenure in 2023, Nigerians can't help but wish that he could do 8+8 till 2031 so that the economy of Nigeria could keep crying "Kai Baba!".

Comrade, u dey Lagos? Gimme ur whatsapp make we collabo produce a series.

This sounds too desperate & suspicious abeg. Hehehe...

"If Nigeria breaks up, non-Muslims in the North will be accused of blasphemy & be beaten, beheaded, butchered or burnt."

GOD CANNOT BE BLASPHEMED AGAINST

No i don't mean it d way u read it o! Hehehe... What i mean is that since nobody can see God, how then can anybody be accused of blasphemy against an unseeable God? Therefore, those who claim that God told them to do this or do that, kill this person or kill that person, are nothing but scammers & criminals.

Women, choose the type of husband u want.
Men, choose the type of husband u want to be.

A. 1 wive but…
B. 6 wives
C. 2 wives
D. No wife but…

Wait wait wait! There are two last options i didn't add in the pix.

E. 1 wife but wretched
F. Thunder fire marriage!

So which 1 u go choose out of these 6 options o?

King kObOkO go choose last. Hehehe...

2023: South 14 North 10

Imagine sey Naija na stadium. Our players dey for pitch. The referee come blow whistle to begin the match on 29th May, 1999.

Team South
Obasanjo 8

Team North
Yar’Adua 2

Team South
Jonathan 6

Team North
Buhari 8

Scoreline:
Team South 14
Team North 10

But i no remember tell una sey the rules of this game different. The goal is not to for Team South to beat Team North or for Team North to beat Team South.

E just be like friendly match. The only difference be sey nobody must win so that everybody go win.

At the end of the match, the two teams have only ONE GOAL:
To entertain the spectators & to keep them happy.

So now wey Team South dey lead with 4 points, wahala don dey. The fans of Team North are feeling cheated.

How do we equalize this match now?

King kObOkO go suggest 3 things.

3. The North rules for 4 more years till 2027 to equalise it 14 – 14. The only problem with this option is that no Northerner can be trusted to rule for only 4 years. Power too sweet. Power is too seductive & intoxicating.

2. Goodluck Jonathan returns as president for 4 years in 2023 so that a Northerner will succeed him and reign for 8 years from 2027 to 2035 so that the scores can stand at 18 – 18.

1. Let’s FEDERALIZE NIGERIA into 6 geopolitical zones backed by a new constitution created by the peoples & ethnic nations within Nigeria. Some call it the restructuring of Nigeria. But i call it the FEDERALIZATION of Nigeria.

Have you read The Legend of India Vs Nigeria by King kObOkO?

https://yourkoboko./2022/04/18/2023-south-14-north-10/

obasanjo's real father was an ibo man from anambra

yaradua's real father was an ibo man from ebonyi

jonathan's real father was an ibo man from abia

buhari's real father was an ibo man from imo

therefore, ibo have been ruling nigeria since 1999

wetin we no go hear from tinubu worshippers just because them wan make tinubu become president by fire by force?

Opinion: Grammy's 'global music' categories ignore musicians from much of the globe

IAN BRENNAN

The nominees in this year's two "global music" categories for the Grammys include (from left): Burna Boy and WizKid (both from Nigeria), Benin superstar Angelique Kidjo, Hawaii's Daniel Ho and Femi Kuti (he's also Nigerian).

In theory, international music makers should be thrilled about the Grammys being handed out this Sunday.

Instead of one category for global music, there are two, doubling the number of nominations from 5 to 10.

(The new category is called "best global music performance." The Grammy rules says it is "reserved for international performers exhibiting non-European, indigenous traditions."

But if you look at the list of nominees for the 64th annual awards ceremony, it's not that diverse.

Seven of the nominees are from two nations: Nigeria and Benin.

There are no newcomer countries – places that have never been had a local artist nominated.

What's more, the number of artists is limited: four of the five artists nominated in the brand new global performance category are also nominated in the global album category.

There's not a lot of linguistic variety either.

I would argue that the Grammys inadvertently perpetuate the legacy of colonialism by focusing on countries that were former British colonies and have inherited English as an official language, like India, Nigeria and South Africa. In fact, all five of this year's nominations in the global music album category feature predominantly English language songs.


It's a category I care a lot about – and often have a personal stake in. I've had the honor to record 38 records by artists across Africa, Asia, Europe and South and North America — often in places that are reachable only by boat or on foot. Two of these artists have been nominated for a Grammy – Tinariwen (who went on to win for the album Tassili in 2012) and the Zomba Prison Project in 2016, representing Malawi's first (and only) case of artists receiving a nomination.

Global performers can win in non-global categories. Remember 'Who Let The Dogs Out?'

Now it is true that the so-called "global" categories aren't the only place where an international musician can vie for an award.

There are currently 86 Grammy categories, bestowed by the Recording Academy, a group founded in the U.S. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of nominees are typically from the U.S., Canada and England.

Spanish language performers can not only compete in the global categories but have six categories for their music – plus a whole Grammy program of their own with the Latin Grammys.

Some international musicians are nominated in categories like classical, "small ensemble" and movie scores. And once in a while, an international performer captures a mainstream award – in 1965, for example, the bilingual bossa nova and jazz song "The Girl from Ipanema," performed by Brazil's Astrud Gilberto and saxophonist Stan Getz, was named record of the year.


And "Who Let the Dogs Out" — from the Bahamian group Baha Men — won for best dance record in 2001.

South Korea's hugely popular K-pop boy band BTS has been nominated twice in pop music categories although they've not yet been winner.

The record shows how narrow the list of nominated countries is

But as a rule, the best chance for a Grammy for an international performer is in a global category.

A nomination or win in one of the two global categories can have a tremendous impact. Isabel Soffer, co-founder and co-director of globalFEST— an annual international music festival in the U.S. that features international artists, states: "The Grammys could be a particularly powerful platform to educate, celebrate diversity and foster musical discovery through this extraordinary category in a truly meaningful way.

"The public who may listen to new music through Grammy nominations is cheated out of new sounds from around the world, artists are cheated of new audiences and the opportunity to make money and the world suffers because music, as we all know, is the best way to start to understand the world, re-think differences and create joy."

Yet in the decades the global category has been around — the first year such an award was given was 1992 -- the list of countries that have had a winner or even just a nomination has been scant.

Here are some of the statistics:

*Over two-thirds of the 197 nominations in the history of the global categories have been shared by just six nations: Brazil, India, Mali, Nigeria, South Africa – and the United States. In fact artists from the U.S. have been nominated and won more times in the Global category than any other nation. (Though this is an "international" category, artists from the U.S. have never been excluded from eligibility; this year, for example, Hawaii-born Daniel Ho is a nominee and in past years American rock stars like Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead have won.)

*Overall, only 14 out of 56 African nations have had artists receive a nomination: Benin, Cameroon, Cape Verde, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Uganda, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa.

*Countries that have never been on the global music nomination list include: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Georgia, Myanmar, Libya, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Vietnam and Yemen.

Some omissions are particularly perplexing. The sonically-innovative, cello-driven Ukrainian group DakhaBrakha which has released seven critically-acclaimed albums since 2005 and racked up almost 3 million views for its video for NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts. Yet they've never registered on the Grammy radar.

"World music, like rock, jazz or classical is an enormous category yet there is a consistent omission of many outstanding artists," notes Isabel Soffer of globalFEST.

So why aren't the winners in the global category more ... globally diverse?

I do know that hundreds of artists in the global arena are eager to be nominated – for the same reasons that any musician is interested in a Grammy nod. The Grammy award is the most prestigious music award. Recognition can bring tremendous exposure for airplay, concert dates – and of course the financial boon that can come along with an award.

This year, nearly 400 candidates were considered for the two global categories, submitted typically by record labels, publicists or the artists themselves. They come from such culturally diverse and far-flung places as China, Comoros, Finland, Tunisia and Venezuela, all nations that have never had a single artist nominated in the global category.

The submissions are reviewed by a small, confidential "screening committee." Next the artists' fate is determined by the official Grammy voters— a group made up mostly of producers, engineers, and artists.

And if you look at the statistics I've cited above, you can see that familiar faces and countries are favored.

I asked the Grammys to comment on these statistics and the current nominees, but they did not respond to my request in time for the posting of this article.

Jimi Hendrix never won a Grammy in his lifetime!

Of course, the Grammys themselves are far from a perfect measure of the best music in all categories. There've been past charges that the process is deeply flawed.

One point is that all "12,000 strong" voting members are eligible to vote in three categories of their choosing if they feel they have expertise in that type of music – but the Recording Academy does not vet their assertion that they are familiar with, say, classical or jazz or "global" sounds. Voters choose three genre fields by their own accord.

And as in any awards, voters may make their selections based not solely on the artistry of a nominee. Some industry insiders allege that voters who work for a label often vote as a block for that label's nominees: giving a possible advantage to a global performer like WizKid. The Nigerian musician, who was nominated twice in the global categories this year, is on the world's second largest label group, Sony Music (RCA).

And it's important to note that with all Grammy awards, the merit of the music is not necessarily the sole determinant of winning an award. A parlor game is easily made of naming fabled performers never as much as nominated for a Grammy during their lifetime— icons like Jimi Hendrix, Fela Kuti, Patsy Cline, Bob Marley, NWA, Cecil Taylor and the Ramones.

Angelique Kidjo's Grammy vision

Angelique Kidjo is arguably the world's most recognized performer in the global realm, has been nominated 3 times this year and has won 4 Grammys.

She's personally seen how the Grammys have grown in importance in the global realm.

"The Grammys have become something really huge in Africa," she told me.

"When I first won a Grammy [2008], there wasn't much knowledge about the award in Africa. Even my father on his deathbed said, 'What is a Grammy?' And I had to explain it to him. And then he looked at me and said, 'Finally you've found a country that recognizes talent.'

Kidjo states, "We need to be really mindful of the importance of international music and representing diversity.

"The thing we have to do to really change things is not just represent all of these places, but from time to time to perform on the TV [awards] show for people to see global musicians.

"That's how the business is built."

And there's no question that international musicians, like all musicians trying to earn a living in their chosen field, can benefit from the exposure. Some of the rural musicians I've worked have told me of the hard lives they lead: a lack of clean water, electricity, reliable transportation and good roads; losing family members to even minor ailments like infected cuts due to struggles locating access to health care; difficulty securing schooling for their children.

The untimely passing this year of northern Ghana musician, Small, who was renowned for his exuberant performances at local funerals and was on the verge of his first international trip, is one of far too many such tales. His family did not have enough money to pay for his own funeral.

But of course these are just a few of the many "global" performers who make glorious music in spite of the hardships they face. To me, this makes especially glaring the Grammys' negligence in not rigorously making room for less-advantaged musicians, particularly the most physically isolated — those from remote rural areas, artists literally living on the margins.

And Angelique Kidjo makes it clear that this is a category that should have a mission: "We've got to educate people to understand that it's not just commercial music that is 'music.' We have music in the global category that is the roots of all the commercial music that people are listening to. It's important to go back and find out where the commercial music you are listening to comes from.

"We need to bring the topic of global music to the forefront of the Grammys. We need to have a constant discussion to improve and get better. The whole world is watching."

Musical greats like Fela, Bob Marley & Tupac never won a Grammy in their lifetimes. Nawa o!

i won't talk about how shocking it is. King kObOkO is here to request that the Recording Academy does the fair thing by creating a separate category for Afrobeat & Afrobeats at the Grammy awards. It's long overdue abeg.

i would also like to see our Afrobeat & Afrobeats greats like Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti, Burnaboy, Wizkid, Davido, Brymo & others push this cause.

"No be every fan go blow u breeze." -King kObOkO

We all saw d video where Ruger was performin on stage & 1 female fan suddenly groped his crotch. Hahaha… Justifiably, Ruger didn’t find it funny & stormed out of d stage angrily.

But can u imagine wat would’ve been d headlines if Tiwa Sawage or Yemi Alade had been groped by a male fan while performin? Yekpa! E no go funny at all. Though i have a feelin that a more experienced performer like D’banj would’ve handled d situation very differently 4rm how Ruger handled it by probably pullin that fan up 2d stage 2wipe his body wit his towel. Hehehe…

Female fans dey craze sha. Was it not a fan/groupie that accused African China of rape in London back in 2006? Fans fit put stars 4 unnecessary wahala. Na why King kObOkO dey talk sey “No be every fan go blow u breeze.”

Shame on Wizkid! Shame on Davido! If Psquare wan do their own sef, shame on them in advance. King kObOkO dey say shame shame shame.

See how Naija people are hailing Wizkid & Davido for shutting down O2Arena London. See how our legendary Psquare & our other Naija artistes are dreaming of shutting down O2Arena London. The one wey dey pain me pass be sey some money-miss-road fans fly all the way from Naija here go O2Arena London. Kai! Shey una no dey see sey na monkey dey work baboon dey chop? Naija artistes dey work oyibo economy dey chop. Hehehe... Our mumu never do? Haba!

When will our Naija superstars shut down O2ARENA LAGOS abeg? When will Wizkid, Davido or Psquare shut down National Stadium Lagos? When will Wizkid, Davido or Psquare shut down Onikan Stadium Lagos? Why can't Wizkid, Davido or Psquare shut down Tafewa Balewa Square Lagos?

My fellow Naija people, i think that we need to begin to celebrate somebody like Paul Adefarasin for consistently shutting down Tafewa Balewa Square with The Experience almost every year. We need to encourage the Kuti family to upgrade Felabration & use Felabration to shut down the National Stadium, Onikan Stadium or Tafewa Balewa Square. That is how to build our Naija music industry. That is how to make Naija a tourist attraction for lovers of Naija music all over Africa & the world. That is how to attract pounds, dollars and foreign currency to Naija now wey Naija music & Afrobeats still dey hot. See eh! If we start to encourage our Naija superstars to shut down our own Made in Naija O2ARENA, wallahi our Naira go begin get more value & our economy go smile. Na King kObOkO talk am. Make u talk ur own abeg.
