Jimmy Cliff - You Can Get It If You Really Want (1970)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7dBMYUyRAQ?si=keyFbZUaazSn2XW4

This is the classic I started listening to back in the 1970s. The song was everywhere back then. I've got nostalgic feelings for this track as this is what made me to really gravitate towards Jimmy Cliff.

Business › Re: CBN Retains Interest Rate At 27% by Konquest: 10:02pm On Nov 25, 2025

Celebrating an interest rate of 27% is unrealistic. At that level, only trading, importation, and some service-based businesses can survive. For the real sector — manufacturing, agriculture, and construction — it’s a direct hit.

These industries need time. From taking a loan to producing, and eventually selling to recover investment, the cycle can span 1 to 5 years before a single naira returns. On top of that, their operating costs are high, and their profit margins are usually below 30%. With numbers like these, a 27% interest rate is simply incompatible with growth.

No country with serious development ambitions sets rates that high. Especially when competing globally — for example, with China, where interest rates are below 5% and operational costs are far lower. High lending rates don’t just slow the real sector; they wipe it out.

Indeed, you succinctly stated the real world situation (with economic variables and solutions). The single-digit interest rates should be the focus for any country hoping to be classified as a true member of the global emerging markets.

Jimmy Cliff, the Jamaican reggae artiste who was very popular in Nigeria in the 1970s and '80s recently died at the age of 81.

Mr Cliff came to Nigeria many times in the 1970s (particularly in 1974 and 1976) and he often said that his 1976 visit was bitter-sweet.

The sweet part was that there were many fans at the airport and they lined the streets from the airport to his hotel.

The bitter part was that a man claimed that he had a deal with Jimmy Cliff (which he claimed was signed in London) that he would bring him to Nigeria, but Jimmy Cliff broke the deal. Jimmy Cliff was detained for three days, but he was released when the case got to court because the accuser had no evidence.

The famous Jamaican journalist, Lindsay Barrett, who lived and worked in Nigeria in the 1970s and '80s was one of the people that actually convinced Jimmy Cliff to come to Nigeria.

The legendary Jimmy Cliff transcended at 81 in November 2025... The man who truly introduced reggae music to the world stage.

I'm comforted that his tracks and videos can still be accessed in digital formats as and when due. He'll however be missed in the physical body. One love Jamaica!

A lot of air shows have for several decades now experience fatal plane crashes from time to time. This is just one of them and unfortunately the Indian Tejas jet fighter pilot of the one-seater fighter jet was seriously injured and lost his life.

However, this Indian Tejas jet fighter brand has a good safety record since the jets FIRST flew in 2001 contrary to the posts of some uninformed posters on this thread. The Tejas jet fighter has only crashed twice in total since 2001 and there's even a planned upgrade by the Indian manufacturer, so the Indians are technically sound in the aircraft and tech ecosystems.

NgeneUkwenu:
Another coward. He didn't talk about those killed by Nnamdi Kanu in Alaigbo for the past 7 years..

Tinubu/APC/FG should remember to do justice for the over 178 Security Agents killed by Nnamdi Kanu's direct order.. Those men are people's fathers, wives, Children.

The numerous Igbo men and women gruesomely murdered in cold blood as directed by the now Convicted terrorist Nnamdi Kanu.. They should be justice for them.

Sentencing Nnamdi kanu to life imprisonment is the least the govt can do for the brave men and women who were murdered in their prime through the action of one Mad man..

A very brilliant submission.

That highly IRRESPONSIBLE Nnamdi and his gang spreading massive disinformation and hate speech online and offline could have been sentenced to instant death (just like they did to Ken Saro-Wiwa and his Ogoni associates who were innocent but framed up by Abacha's dictatorship) if this were to be a ruthless Nigerian Military dictatorship witnessed especially from 1984 to 1998. INFACT I expected that more well-known ipob sympathizers ought to have been arrested worldwide and brought to justice in courts of law. I saw a viral video on a Ghanaian-based social media platform just 3 months ago of one of these ipob gang leaders bragging vividly that he enjoys eating human meat (cannibalism) since it is a "normal" thing for them.

The insidious lemmings such as Obi Cubana who are supporting his criminal activities (instead of seeking for true justice for those killed and their families) should be ashamed of themselves.

It doesn't make sense that the other "boy" called Ekpa hiding in Finland has been sentenced to jail time in Finland then Nnamdi would be set free. The former ipob deputy Uche Mefor already described in media reports that ipob is the BIGGEST killer of Ibos.

It's great that you added that newspaper screenshot of Uche Mefor's damning comment about ipob's criminality to your post. Uche Mefor himself stated in a 2022 BBC Global Disinformation Team investigative video report which is still on the BBC YouTube channel (EXPOSING the many crimes of disinformation and murders by ipob and Nnamdi's followers) that he was the one that set up the social media platforms and the pirate radio station of that group which were then used to mislead the world through the massive spread of disinformation and hate speech.

https://www.nairaland.com/2400780/radio-biafra-nnamdi-kanu-threat

The BBC Global Disinformation Team report also reported how ipob recruited thousands of young paid troll farms or male and female members and gave them free laptops, free data, and salaries to constantly plant FAKE news, hate speech targeted towards other ethnic groups and destabilize Nigeria with the aim of achieving their own secessionist agenda.

That ipob criminal gang was organized around a highly dishonest ideology and was indeed badly organized but the area they had an upper hand is their use of highly irresponsible online propaganda methodology which emphasizes the use and amplification of LIES, online disinformation and the spread of hate speech using various social media outlets such as FB, YouTube, X, even Nairaland with a lot of their paid ipob troll farms very active here relentlessly spreading disinformation and hate.

He is too emotional for someone leading a 'cause'.

Succinctly stated.

Aside from his widespread sponsorship of disinformation, murders and direct hate speech online towards other Nigerian ethnic groups, this creep wasn't even leading a real cause BUT he was the ring leader at the epicenter of majorly scamming his fellow Ibos by receiving large donations from Nigeria and around the world while issuing fake "biafra" travel documents to ill-educated followers of his.

One of those who paid for the illegal travel document, an Ibo woman was widely reported in the major media outlets around 4-5 years ago to have been arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport MMIA with that fake biafra travel documents while trying to travel with it. NO United Nations recognized country in the world exists by that insidious name being pushed by the scammer and his ilk.

It's great to see videos of former male and female members of ipob such as Uche Mefor (who was in charge of setting up the social media platforms used by that criminal group), and one insidious UK-based woman (her surname is Ogala) who called for the murder of innocent Ibos who did resisted ipob in Eastern Nigeria (I FIRST saw her in a 2022 BBC Global Disinformation Team investigative video report) bluntly regretting and renouncing in videos their membership of that criminal enterprise called ipob.

This is absolutely insensitive!

The court pronouncement has legally established that real victims of the convict's terrorist actions exist and are mostly security agents and innocent people murdered by actions incited by the convicted terrorist.

For a Federal Minster and member of the executive arm of government to ignore the sensitivities of the grieving relatives of his victims and further undermine the judiciary in this manner is preposterous and unacceptable!

This is a serious crime conviction. Stop dancing on the graves of his victims by attempting to sound as if their violent deaths is collateral damage in order to foul up the conviction of Kanu as political. It is criminal, real lives were lost and real people are grieving!

Read quotes from the Judgement report below:

Justice Omotosho noted on Thursday that Mr Kanu described himself as a freedom fighter, but that through the enforcement of his illegal stay-at-home order, arrogating the power of Nigeria’s president to himself, and his inciting online broadcasts, he brought deaths and destructions to the people of South-east for whom claimed to be fighting.

“He turned himself into a tyrant who can kill at will. The defendant cannot be allowed to remain in a sane human society,” the judge said.

Oga mi,

As usual, it's always refreshing to be learning from you without paying a penny.

Just to add ontop of your kindly teachings to those stuff necked Obidients and drag it down to their knuckle dragging Nearderthalian level.

"Owa ni bẹ" is what is shortened to "Owanbẹ". I believe there might be an apostrophe between the "n" and "b" for pure Yoruba writers.

I am also irked by the bastardisation/cross polination of our local languages by those that do it deliberately and should know better.

@aswani

Good to hear from you. I saw your post on this thread page as well and gave it a LIKE because you were succinct. Yes the OWANBE is an elition or shortened from "Owa ni be."

Indeed, I'm on the same page with you on you latest post here and this is why I ALWAYS like to respect other people's cultures, foods and ways of life because that is what defines them.
Look at Folasade Ojo went to Benin to install an Iyaoloja when the title in Benin is Iyeki NOT Iyaoloja. She herself shouldn't be called Iyaoloja General of Nigeria. Whatever market leader title she inherited via the Eleko of Eko (Oba of Lagos Island) STAYS within Lagos State just like that of her highly enterprising grandma Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji who was a well-traveled international business woman just like the international business woman Madam Dideolu Awolowo (the wife of late Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN).

So, Folasade cannot carry that so-called Iyaoloja General of Nigeria (which is even strange in Yorubaland) to other Yoruba States NOT to talk of Edo or Delta States which both have some ancestral lineages in some communities with the rest of the larger Yorubaland extending to the Yoruba-speaking Benin Republic and Togo. Iyaoloja is usually given by Yoruba Obas in each community as markets usually exist near the Palaces of the Obas hence the "Oja Oba or Oba's Markets" all over Yorubaland and Benin City too has an Oba's Market. The Oba of Benin was right about "Iyeki" being the correct title for his domain. This is what Folasade should have known if she was widely read in terms of historical knowledge and I wager she wouldn't ever disrespect others again after that cultural blunder.

It is in this light that I ALSO find the insidious behavior of many young SE supporters of that secessionist gang posting disinformation about the etymology of words and disrespectfully distorting other people's ethnic histories. The traditional religious terms for "so shall it be" is "ase" and "isee" which are of the same roots and definitely of Yoruba and Benin origins respectively BUT these SE of Nigeria propagandists claim FALSELY that "ISEE" is derived from them not Benin.

This is how we EXPOSED right here on NL in 2024 the etymology or original meaning of 'Egusi"(Egunsi) as being of direct Yoruba origin which the Ibos LOANED after 1900 and use in their lingo as "egwusi" with a W letter. Internet-savvy folks simply brought out the screenshots of the "Longman Ibo-English Dictionary" co-written by an Ibo scholar named Echeruo and a European scholar decades ago stating CLEARLY that the word Egwusi is indeed a borrowed or LOANED word from "YOR" (Yoruba) under the dictionary entry.

Prior to that, the highly uninformed young Ibo posters on NL were cursing the Yoruba folks for cultural appropriation meanwhile the "Longman Ibo-English Dictionary" screenshots exposed the Ibos as being the ones that LOANED many words from the Yorubas (and definitely from the Igalas of Kogi, Northern Enugu, Anambra, and Delta North at Ebu and more, who speak a major Yoruboid language with has up to 65% mutual intelligibility with Yoruba language just like the Itsekiri language is officially classified for decades now as Yoruboid).

is URGENTLY needed right NOW for Nigeria is the deployment of low-earth satellite orbiting technologies which would reduce crimes by capturing the minutest details of most criminal activities and the movements of these foreign Fula militia bandits from the Sahellian countries of West Africa, the Tuareg militia bandits called Lakurawa from Niger Republic and Mali, the Islamist gangs called BH and breakaway ISWAP jihadi faction including JNIM jihadi group consisting of Tuaregs whose HQ is in Mali but over half of Mali, half of Burkina Faso, and a large part of Niger Republic are under JNIM jihadi occupation as I type this.

I've talked about the use of low-earth satellite technologies for years to curb terror attacks through the non-existent borders BUT those in power in Nigeria NEVER saw it as a top priority.

Second, the use of "biological warfare" based off of covert research from selected Uni research labs and the military will also decimate these bandits without spending too much money to buy expensive weapons.

Third, President 'Bola Tinubu has to reduce the influence of the Fula politicians of foreign Fula origins who have surreptitiously taken political power from the indigenous Hausas of the North West as Governors, Ministers, Emirs, etc, and now the Hausas are openly complaining in videos online. Therefore he needs to know that all the North West of Nigeria Governors and Ministers of Defense and Minister of State for defence are all Fulas NOT Hausas. The NSA is a Fula. Therefore the foreign Fula militia are having a field day roaming around wiping out indigenous Hausa communities, and North Central of Nigeria State communities while preventing agricultural activities from going on.

Uzor Njoku Apologies to Yoruba and Oba of Lagos

https://x.com/uzoart/status/1990853986765734308

First off, the correct spelling of the word is OWANBE [with the letter "N"] NOT "owambe." If that error in spelling wasn't pointed out to her and her ilk, they would continue to bastardize other peoples languages and spellings like they've done in the recent past.

Second, TOKUNBO NOT "Tokumbo" just the same way that the plant/crop (fluted pumpkin) has grown globally for centuries in different parts of the world called "Fluted Pumpkin" leaves known as "Ewe Woroko" or "Eweroko" in Yoruba language. It is spelled as "UGU" NOT "ugwu." The Ibibios call the same Fluted Pumpkin "Nkong Ubong" while the Hausas call it "Yakuwa."

Third, AGBERO NOT "Agboro" is another insidious Ibo bastardization of the Yoruba word "Agbero" which refers to the registered members of national transport unions and hence they are also NLC members.

Fourth, BOLI in Yoruba language NOT "Bole" (which simply refers to the grilled of roasted plantain ONLY) WITHOUT the grilled fish or other cuisine alternatives or add-ons like peanuts, or other seafoods.

Fifth, ELUBO NOT "Alibo" (Elubo is the Yoruba name for yam flour (Elubo isu), cassava flour (Elubo Lafun) and unripe plantain flour (Elubo Ogede) used for making the 3 kinds of Amalas).

Is it too difficult for that female artist and her ilk (like the irresponsible Aisha Yesufu and some of her SE followers did on her YouTube channel comments) to understand this FACT of standard ethno linguistics? In the Yoruba-English dictionary, is OWANBE spelled with a letter M? NO. As a lover of various art forms for years and an art collector myself, it appears this lady deliberately chose to create a controversy to gain cheap popularity but it would backfire because there are unintended consequences for every "cause and effect."
