In the Second World War, German forces pushed through the Soviet Union, sweeping across Ukraine and entering deep into Russian territory to launch an attack on Moscow.
Russians eventually counter-attacked and pushed the Germans back to Berlin.
Now Krismas is here saying this did not happen because “how did the Germans manage to take all those territory and strike deep into Russia if Russia was able to counter attack later”

No logic, no sense, no single understanding of warfare. Just arguing blindly on Nairaland

haaryobhami:
am sure they would freeze to death in there own land likr they are not already used to winter . When Russia gets there ass handed by ukraine this winter again u will shift goal post and keep opening teeth to console urself

haaryobhami:
am sure ukraine are not used to winter also even though Ukrainians are used to winter also nd also fought in the red army, u keep showing how much of a clown u are

haaryobhami:
the clown said Russia withdrew from
Izium due to lack of winter or so,that’s wen I knew he has nothin meaningful to defend his lord pootin than throwing childish tantrums

Okhuadams:
and what's ur benefits in Russia winning the war

texazzpete:
All this is just premium copium from you to cover the fact that Ukrainian counteroffensives captured 2000 square kilometers of land, including multiple strategic cities. All in a handful of days. Not to mention the Russian army retreating in disarray and leaving behind a decent chunk of their heavy equipment.


Your tears haven’t started yet. Lend-lease takes effect from October 1st. That gives Biden a lot more leeway on weapons and logistics to send to Ukraine.

It will be very hard on you.

haaryobhami:
that is a Lieutenant General and a big deal for Russia that was captured while disguised and trying to escape .
The capture of a flag general is a big deal but I don’t expect a clown who open teeth with no point to argue wit to understand.
Izium is one of the most strategic city in d war that Russia fought for months to capture and withdrew in panic mood and even asked Russia civilians in Kharkiv oblast to evacuate and u are here clowning that they left due to winter .

Like pootin don’t think before making decisions,his fans don’t think before talking

texazzpete:
There are innumerable videos and pictures of dead or dying Russian soldiers. But not everyone is like you that’s saving pictures of corpses from Russian telegram groups in their photo library.

Look at you, showing off pictures you saved since May.

It seems like there’s a certain level of depravity one must sink to to support Putin’s war.

you have not made any sense so far ,it’s not panic withdraw and they left stockpile of ammunition, usa left Afghanistan after 20years of holding the nation btw and russia can’t even hold a region in ukraine for months .
Even pootin will be suprised the way nairaland armchair warlords overhype russia.

KaLuCh:
I no fit debate with you. The few posts you've made here show me you don't have a single clue what is actually going on. Na sentiment make you dey jump up and down this thread dey quote wetin you no know.

So, all I will tell you is wait and see. In a few months all of una wey dey lick Putin ass no go fit deny the truth.

haaryobhami:
the strategy of withdrawing and leaving lot of ammunition for ur enemy? You pootin loonatics are even more delusional than him

Aykush:
Lol dumbass Putin asslickers, y’all hate for US made y’all support evil, have Russia been able to capture the whole of Luhansk not to talk of Donbass As a foolish follower of the war you are…Russia is bound to fail and they will fail in Ukraine….Slava ukraine!

KaLuCh:
Chai... Even Putin go shock if he see the kind victory wey una dey give am for NL.

dabiko:
When has it become a crime for a sovereign country to make their own choices?? Some of you just sit by the corner of your home to type baseless and absolute trash. Arm chair military analyst everywhere.

A supposed nuclear and strong military power started an unprovoked war against Ukraine since February and the only thing they've achieved is shelling civilian population & neighborhood... Yet some brain-washed Africans are hailing the agressor and blaming the victim. The Russia you love so much, I'm sure you will never want to live and enjoy the leadership they have there.

Sixfiguresmart:
It will not be easy for Russia to finish the war victoriously. They have lost enough already and they are dealing with harsh economic climate. wrong choice to start a war and we are watching it unfold.

surah 23:18 We send down rain from the sky in perfect measure, causing it to soak into the earth. And We are surely able to take it away.

Just to know that the acclaimed allah has been a polytheist god all these while is mindboggling. Allah constantly refers to himself as WE and US. It just proves that the 360 idols they claimed was destroyed in the Hubal temple of Kaaba were never destroyed.

So, Russians are selling their oil at an extremely cheap rate to india who in turn sell to other countries. A huge waste

In this article, TrendyBeatz analyses some of the obvious reasons “The Headies Award” changed its location, the anomalies detected in the shows, and controversial takes about winners of some of the categories.


Everyone loves to be appreciated. Everyone loves to receive their flowers while they can still smell them. Award is that entity that serves as recognition and validates people for something they do. It’s a trophy, a plaque or certificate designed to appeal to the egoistic parts of creatives, artists, musicians, and many others by offering them a public reward that certifies their skill as superior to others.

This is the premise that “The Headies Award” is built on. Over the years, The Headies has shown and proven its platform as the head of all music awards platforms in Nigeria. The 15th Edition of The prestigious award ceremony, which dominantly celebrates excellence and mastery in the Nigerian music industry and beyond, was held on Sunday, September 4th, 2022, at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

Evolution and Change of Location: From Lagos, Nigeria to Atlanta, Georgia, The United States of America.

On March 1st this year, The Headies Awards announced that the 15th edition of its award show themed “Join The Movement” will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, with a partnership from the US consulate.

It garnered a lot of controversial opinions on the internet because this is the first time the legacy award ceremony has left Nigeria. While some people believe that it’s not the right thing to do, since the award is from Nigeria and made for Nigeria, then apparently, it should stay in its home country. Some agreed that it’s the best way to choose to take it to the diaspora and create a new path.

The Headies need the foreign agencies to refocus their attention on the award show. Therefore, the most recurring explanation from the organisers and affiliates for the Headies taking a Nigerian award from Lagos to Atlanta is “the spirit of expansion”.

Afrobeat to the world is in sway, and the music is making waves in new markets. Why not export the award shows too? Interestingly, this is the direction the organisers want to go, but it’s hard to make an argument against profit and the flight of our arts and the systems that support them. Headies is aiming for expansion, and the US represents an opportunity for a global brand push. Picking the USA was not a mistake.

The Headies: ‘Mic Check’ Talent Discovery

Mic Check is a talent discovery project by Smooth Promotions, the organisers of The Headies Awards. Mic Check stands as the Biggest talent event in Africa by turning an everyday artiste into an instant superstar. It’s a plan to hunt down some of the most talented acts, put them through a system, and find a star.

This is another amazing strategy by The Headies. It gives the artist range and platforms to kickstart his way into stardom.

The Show Quality: Host, Performance and Arrangement

Headies award lingering problems seems not to have abated despite the change of location. From audio to visual, stage management and the whole set-up. At the end of it all, you wonder if a 20% pass mark was not too much to give.

As much as the organisers of The Headies Award show should be applauded for their consistency and relevance for over a decade and a half, it seems as though priorities are not placed on what to upgrade on, considering previous errors and mistakes. Here are some of the things we discovered about the 15th edition of The Headies award.

Based on the quality of the show and the change of locations, Headies didn’t deliver on their American dream. There were obvious disorganisations on the stage and even in the arrangements of the venue. Anthony Anderson, an American comedian, paired with Osas Ighodaro to host a Nigerian music award show, didn’t end well. There are noticeable lapses displayed by the two hosts on the stage.

Questionable Winners In Certain Categories

Talking about the most questionable winner in all the nominee’s categories, then it should be no other person than “Olamide” Badoo, who won the award for the best rap album with his album “CARPE DIEM”. It’s no doubt that favouritism came to play because “Carpe Diem” is not a rap project; it’s an afro pop album that Olamide used to explore new sounds. What exactly is rap? In that group, there exists “Clone Wars Vol. 5 – The Algorithm” by Show Dem Camp, “Golden” by A-Q, “Mafia Culture, Vol. 2.0” by Idowest, “Providence” by Ladipoe and “Sex Over Love” by Blaqbonez.

Blaqbonez dropped a life-changing album, “Sex over love”, and some critics have since said that he played an instrumental role in reviving hip-hop from the grave. It’s nearly heart-shattering how the Headies managed to ignore him and the impact he has had recently on hip-hop.

It’s quite puzzling how some names appear in certain categories. At this point, it’s glaring that no one knows the metrics being used in placing artists in their respective categories. What’s “Loading” ft Bad Boy Timz, a street pop, doing in the Best Rap Single category?

In a list where we have “Breathe” by A-Q Feat Chike, “Crown Of Clay” by Vector & Mi Abaga Feat. Pheelz, “Early Momo” by Vector Feat. Goodgirl LA, “Feeling” by Ladipoe Feat. BNXN (Buju), “Tycoon” by Show Dem Camp Feat Reminisce & Mojo.

The most ridiculous category in The Headies category is the producer of the year category, which needs to be adjusted. The volume all around the year is ridiculed & only one song is nominated.

Considering the sheer volume and quality, P Priime should be the producer of the year. Little wonder Sarz dedicated his award to him on stage while delivering his award speech.

In all honesty, “Cash App” by Bella Shmurda ft Zlatan & Lincoln deserves to win the best Street-Hop Artiste and not Nektunez & Goya Menor’s “Ameno Amapiano (Remix)” considering its influence and how it blew. Although, if “Zazoo” by Portable, Poco Lee and Olamide was not disqualified, it would have been the best contender on the list.

Don Jazzy And D Banj Saga: Drama on Stage

Some people had opinionated that perhaps Mavin artistes’ inability to win major categories could be responsible for the lukewarmness reaction Don Jazzy gave to D Banj when he called him up on stage after he was awarded.

Some have said Don Jazzy was shy. But could that be true? I guess not. Don Jazzy was not happy and not in the right mood for D Banj’s shenanigans.

Could it be from their rift? Well, it’s hard to rule it out.

In all, despite the loopholes and errors, we cannot deny the Headies Award’s influence over the Music Industry in Nigeria and Africa. Every year people talk down about the award show, but artists still celebrate themselves anytime they get nominated or awarded.

However, Headies needs to be upgraded. An institution or academy should be constructed. The days of fans voting should be eliminated. Professional music critics, veteran musicians, erudite music experts and producers should join this academy.

There should be room for transparency and credibility. Who voted for which category? Show us the score.

What can you say about the 15th Edition of Headies Award? Is this the worst or the best edition of the Headies so far? Should they have stayed in Lagos, Nigeria, instead of taking it abroad? Which category do you think is wrong? Let’s know your thoughts.

Swinger60:
. Lol. I give up on you.

you are beyond redemption.

the British should have allowed you and all your village people to be wallowing in your glorified uncivilized village than this insult they are receiving after giving you and your forefathers civilization.

they should have let you to live in olden days hut houses, jumping from tree to tree and wearing cassava leaf as clothes.

it's even breaking my Tummy you are insulting and saying trash about them with the Education that thought you. Chai....!!!

I blame the British.

Swinger60:
You said the Brits did nothing good in Nigeria?

it was thier civilization that reduced high mortality rate we used to have in the olden days. our fore fathers were calling the babies dying ogbanje meanwhile it was just Rhesus factor, genotype factors, etc that was killing those kids back then.

without Their Education you won't be here now expressing your thoughts towards them. (be grateful)

Without their coming, your villagers would have thrown you in to the forest to die if you were born aa twin.

Let me ask you, how Come even almost 62years of giving us independence we are yet to achieve single shit?

Let me also remind you that America and Australia was also colonized by them too, and they are doing better than us because they didn't allow tribes, religion, corruption, in to their system. they look for who has their best interest and vote for. And not jumping from online to online cursing thier colonial masters.

we will rather blame others than ourselves for our failures in this country.

All I'm trying to say, DON'T WRITE THE BRITISH OFF WHEN IT COMES TO NIGERIA CIVILIZATION.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
I'm gonna miss this lady..
For those ranters blaming and hating on our queen..Nothing but nothing is taught about the good that the British did in their colonies..but only the far left “Everything they did was evil”...
Never a mention that they brought education..industry..efficient farming and democracy...
Never a mention that Slavery had been going on for hundreds of years before the Europeans joined in..

Never a mention of them putting a stops to slavery and cannibalism in their colonies or of stopping honour killings and forcing women to be burnt to death when their husbands died...
And never a mention that it was Britain that eventually banned the slave trade and used it's own Royal Navy at its own expense to police the oceans.. freeing slaves and prosecuting entire crews...

Sikiru Adepoju was born to Chief Ayanleke Adepoju and Mrs Adepoju on November 10, 1952 in Eruwa, Ibarapa, Oyo State.

His great grandfather, grandfather and father were all drummers. They didn't specifically teach him how to drum, but he picked it up because he was always around many drummers. However, he didn't want to be a drummer because he saw the way his father and grandfather had to struggle to get recognition and make ends meet.

He moved to Lagos in the 1970s and became an apprentice cobbler in Mushin. He also played the talking drum part time.

His boss got a job as a cab driver at Ikeja Airport and became more interested in that, so Sikiru Adepoju had to leave the shoemaking business and became a full time drummer. He played for various bands at this time including Sir Shina Peters' band.

A dispute in Sir Shina Peters' band led Sikiru Adepoju to leave the music business once more and he became a revenue collector for the NURTW in Ojo in 1982. He made a lot of money with the NURTW.

However, he had already gained a reputation as a very good drummer and he couldn't run away from music for too long because people kept inviting him to play in their bands. That was how he was invited to play in Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey's Inter-Reformers Band.

He left Obey's band in 1985 because they had just returned from a tour of Europe and Obey decided that they should tour the US, but Adepoju decided that he was not going.

Highlife legend, Orlando Julius Ekenmode, invited Sikiru Adepoju to play the talking drum in his video shoot and after the shoot he invited him to move to the US with him.

Adepoju moved to the US with Orlando Julius in 1985. He was earning $250 a week while playing for Orlando Julius in the US.

He met US based legendary Nigerian percussionist, Babatunde Olatunji in 1985. Olatunji had played with legends like Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, Cannonball Adderley and Mickey Hart. Olatunji introduced Sikiru Adepoju to his friends.

Sikiru Adepoju could have been a 2-time Grammy Award winner by now. He and Babatunde Olatunji played on the Planet Drum album in 1991. The album won a Grammy Award, but Olatunji, Adepoju and 6 other performers were listed as contributing artistes rather than primary artistes. Therefore, the Grammy Awards only presenter the group with one trophy and eight certificates.

This issue was remedied in 2006 when Sikiru Adepoju performed on the Global Drum Project album. He was listed as a primary artiste this time and he was given his own Grammy Award trophy.

Sikiru Adepoju and Babatunde Olatunji also featured on 2Pac Shakur's posthumous album "The Rose That Grew From Concrete".

Hi Shepherd00

Thanks for your questions. There is no connection between the Grail message and Ecankar or any other religion, cult, and movements. The writer of the Grail message drew His message straight from the highest source, from God the father. Naturally it will agree with the Truths in others religions and, at the same time, disagree with the falsehoods in them. It is neither a religion, movement, nor cult; it is simply brought to mankind. Anybody, regardless of her/his religion, nationality, race, etc. is welcome to examine the Grail message, provided that she/he is a serious seeker; the writer only demanded the reader/examiner must proceed with objectivity.

A lot of people have asked questions about the Grail message in this forum. Here is one of such treads:https://www.nairaland.com/147092/grail-message/9. Keep in mind that the answers you read on that thread or receive from adherents of the Grail are only their perception. If you are seriously seeking, then you might consider picking up the Grail message and hearing straight from the horse's mouth. I will enthusiastically treat any questions that you have after examining the message.

About Eckanker, I'm not allowed to talk. There are Eckists in this forum, and if you are interested in eckanker you should approach them with your questions.

Thanks and remain blessed.
