The 1990s, like the 80s was the golden era of music.not the rubbish that we have today as "hits''.
10.'I swear'(All4one):this california-based group shook the world with their 1994 monster hit.music that is a masterclass in showing that lyrics matters.the mohjave guys were duly rewarded,winning a Grammy award in 1995.'i swear' is a testament of soulfulness and talent.today and forever,it is a masterpiece.
9.'If I Ever fall in love'(shai):when a single track skyrockets the sale of an album to platinum status.the name "shai" may be unfamiliar today,but their hit is eternal.'and if i ever ....sure that the lady is a friend'.powerful delivery too.for lovers and radio stations,'shai' was gold.
8.'Unbreak my heart'(Toni Braxton):When a video the better medium.Tyson Beckford's well chiseled muscles gripping the audience,even male fans.with a Grammy to boot,'Unbreak' my heart till today is a favourite of radio stations.
7.'End of the road'('Boyz II Men'):Unarguably ,the greatest R&B GROUP OF ALL TIME
.from Philladelphia,indeed the city of 'brotherly love'.this evergreen track even made break-ups a no-grudge thing,if u know what i mean.more hits would follow 'end of the road'.
6. 'want you back'(take that'):..you came back for good'.a powerful ending.so was the entire work of this British group,which Robbie Williams belonged.awards followed this classic,the lyrics etched on the hearts of fans,including myself.
5.'kiss from a rose'(Seal):1995 was the year of 'BATMAN'. IT WAS HOWEVER A BETTER YEAR FOR Seal,whose masterpiece wasthe Batman soundtrack.on Grammy night,Seal was a king,sweeping three awards. Seal's delivery was something to behold,gravel-voiced and assured.(to be continued)

remember that for a long time,. today's CAUCASIAN 'SUper' race was once called barbarians.the Europeans learnt algebra from the arabs and superseded the Arabs themselves.the JAPAN SUCCESS STORY is well known.the 'Black problem' or African problem is self-created.or maybe we should ask God why the black race finds it frustrating to crack the Technology curse and measure up to the Asians&WHITES.Ask Malaysia-colonisation is not an excuse for backwardness.

How did an alliance become a 'gang-up'?its the gulf between victors and the defeated.DIFFERENT LANGUAGE and different emotions.the loss of enormous powers of the Presidency inflicts psychological blow on the 'losing end'.as also,the 'capture' of the nigerian presidency being always seen as ethnic triumph not necessarily about the dynamics of history .the S/E&SS,The fortress of Mr. Jonathan's talk about a gang-up.such comment is devoid of history but choked with Emotions.ITS akin TO IMAGINNING THE S.WEST groaning about Awo's failed 1979 bid by blaming the S/S FOR A 'GANGUP' with Shagari's north.Shagari WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT WITHOUT THE VOTES OF THE south -south.
No SINGLE REGION HAS won nigeria's highest office without an alliance with other ethnic groups,a la ZIK's accord with the NORTH,not once but twice.the 25% proviso further deepens the inevitable need for an alliance.ANY REGION IS FREE TO GO INTO ALLIANCE WITH OTHER GROUPS.DOES THE Constitution prohibits that? Mr.Buhari tried to go ALONE in 2011 but failed.That proved the NORTH is NOT INVINCIBLE.Columnists like JIMANZE of the 'SUN' groans about the 'G2'-The North-West alliance to a point of Obsession and VICTIMISATION.from the 1966 porgroms and states' creation, Victimasation of the S/E is a fact of life.as Mr.Faulkner said;'the PAST IS NOT DEAD;it's not even the past'.
the Past is a guiding light. But should the past be a barrier?for the S.EAST,the NIgerian UNION no matter how Artificial, IS MUCH MORE STRONGER now than before the Civil war.focus should be on winning the Presidency-even if it is for symbolic purposes.FOR SUCCESS,goals should take precedent over history.Bitternes should not damage the future,bitterness be controlled. Persia's Artaxerxes II worked with a bitter enemy,SPARTA, against Athens.groaning about victimisation alienates future coalition members.flexibility is more of a strength than weakness.four years is a long time in politics as nigerian politics becomes more competitive.and what happened to the 1MILLION PLUS VOTES OF 2011 THAT FAILED TO MATERIALISE IN THREE STATES OF Mr. JONATHAN'S STRONGHOLD?the S.S or SE should brood over that.more importantly,the S/E cannot despise the north and S.West at the same time AND HOPE TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY IN FUTURE.ITS all of one ;Or all of the other'.

ITS IRONIC THAT THE EVIL TODAY'S YOUNGER GENERATION blame on the 50s&6os generation, is also being perpetrated by them.elders of yore or today shed blood for political power and other reasons.nigeria's youth now do the same, albeit for a single, unmistakable purpose:girls.this is not only evil and despicable but also stupid.first of all,a man would always find his soul mate whether rich or poor.so why the evil? which backfires not only on the 'happening guy' but on his children(if any)&generation.
the Olabisi onabanjo university 'story' where three students killed a female student for rituals, in a bid to get wealth by all means and display it, to primarily attract the opposite sex was a horror event which told of the decay amongst today's youth,not only in nigerian campuses.then the IMSU cult boys arrested for armed robbery.what guys would do in the name of wealth to attract 'women'.a female student by the name Seun,was found dead and body parts missing.its not a strange event in nigeria.but that an increasing number of youths now do it just to be attracted to women is stupidity of the highest order.first of all,true love which does not respect millions, exists.even in urban centres.try 10 women,one would give you the chance.secondly,the sex issue:the HOLY GRAIL of a man's desire in women is sex.would it be because of a two-three minute thrusts and ejaculation you damage your future? besides,you don't need to do evil for sex.there are call girls whom can satisfy your pressing urge.so don't COMMITT AND REGRET just because of Bimbo's booty or Amaka's boobs.like Scipio Africanus,be calculative.

In 2011,Mr. Jonathan comfortably had 25% in 31states.but what's the relevance of 25%(24states) if the 1st and overRiding requirement, 'MAJORITY OF THE VOTES' is not met?it is important to note that 25% is not a MUST unlike 'MAJORITY'or technically, 'plurality'.so much emphasis is being placed on '25%'and for the PDP that's dangerous.for once, 2011 is not 2015.a lot has changed.the worry for both PDP and APC should be turnout of their supporters.that's where the difference would be made.
Delta, Rivers,Imo,Lagos, are some states Mr .JONATHAN got more than 1million plus votes.with the exception of lagos.dejavu is inevitable.Jonathan's margins were also huge in YORUBA STATES except OSUN.APC does not have the national spread of the PDP but it does not need it.knowing PDP HAS MORE WAYS TO maneuver through the Constitutional requirements,APC would be more concerned about denying the Incumbent, 'MAJORITY' IN THE FIRST BALLOT.then '25%', becomes useless.APC candidate Mr.Buhari got 25% IN 16 STATES in 2011,all in the North.in 2015,VALENTINE'S DAY, He's guarateed 25% in seven Southern states, even in ONDO AND EKITI states where PDP governors hold sway.in AMAECHI'S Rivers,Mr. Jonathan's 2011 margin would shrink but not by much.its more difficult for Mr. BUHARI TO Meet the 25% requirement than Mr. Jonathan. 16+7=23,NOT 24.MR.BUHARI'S hope is then a majority in the first ballot.anything short of that is defeat.
Much has been made about the NORTH-WEST&SOUTH-WEST electoral bank but the significance of Boko haram-ravaged North-East is more important for the APC as APC MIGHT BE VICTORS IN YORUBA STATES though by slim margins(EXCEPT osun) which does not bode well for the 'majority'calculations.a low turn out in the north-east region would spell doom if APC HOPES TO NEUTRALISE Mr Jonathan's advantage in North -Central.neither APC nor PDP is sure of huge victory in ONDO or EKITI.Mimiko's influence would count in ONDO but it would be by a tiny margin. for the APC, The battle for 'MAJORITY' IN THE FIRST BALLOT, OR PLURALITY is then a do or die thing as its the only path for victory.APC's strategists have a huge task in convincing north-east BUHARI FANS to shun the fear of boko-haram attacks and come out to vote. how Mr. BUHARI'S reverrence and cult- figure status would allay such fears would manifest on Valentine's day.

The 'Curse'of any multi-racial society is ethnic suspicion most times when 'things is not what it seems'.believing that ethnic resentment is one-sided is the pinnacle of ignorance.we are all guilty of it ,daily.is like what WHITE IS TO RICE.we are too ethnic-conscious to look deep.or look back before 'CASTING THE FIRST STONE'.the hullabaloo and innuendos surrounding the APC 'MERGER' is an examplar of how ,a la TUPAC:'SOMETHINGS WOULD NEVER CHANGE'.the talk by most S/south and S/East political analysts is that the South-WEST IS AT IT AGAIN;'collaborators and spoilers'.this smacks of ignorance of epic proportions,taking into account Nigeria's political history and the Craft that is politics itself.
Would the NPC in the 1st Republic been able to form a govt. alone,without the support of Southern 'minorities',or NIGER-DELTA in today's parlance?the same NORTH-SOUTH/SOUTH alliance produced an NPN Victory over the UPN in the 1979 Elections.recently,Bayelsa Gov.SERIAKE DICKSON lauded Abacha's OMPADEC,IGNORING THE CRIMINALITY OF THE REGIME-economic and political.a similar alliance between the North and the South-East produced the NPN-NPP accord of 1983.it is only bona fide students of history and the tricky craft that is politics, who wouldn't blink or be curious at the recent alliance between the NORTH AND SOUTH-WEST, or better put between TINUBU and BUHARI.
the talk of Yoruba 'collaborators' is a reflection of casting stones while living in glass houses.the craft that is nigerian politics tells of a bitter truth:no region can win the PRESIDENCY ON ITS OWN.the 2011 presidential elections would have been a different result if such merger had been worked out.and earlier too.the Strength of any Democracy is measured by the capacity of the OPPOSITION PARTY to unseat the ruling party.this tells of why Democracy in Ghana,Senegal is rated ahead of Nigeria AND South Africa.it is not mistaken to claim that Tinubu's efforts to crack federal power is all to protect his financial interests and stave off EFCC prosecution or to claim that the NEW APC are strange bedfellows.strange bedfelows?the same can also be said of the PDP itself. and have we forgotten that in politics,there are no Permanent friends or Enemies,ONLY PERMANENT INTERESTS?

'Don't think morality can be maintained without religion' U.S founding father GEORGE WASHINTON's most famous quote.today reverse is the case as often times without number religion has been proven to have no moral bearing in nigeria.what nigeria's leading clergymen don't do is even worse.in a polity of uncountable worship centres,the prevailing moral decadence is an indictment on our 'MEN OF GOD'.AND WHO SAYS RELIGION SHOULD BE KEPT OUT OF POLITICS?NEVER!corruption,sabotage,are political issues but also religious issues.'love ur neighbor as yourself'.nigeria's most influential clergymen:the OYEDEPOs,ADEBOYEs,ORISTEJAFORs,OKOHs,should be reminded that if ELITES SHOW LOVE AS ESPOUYSED BY their presumed role model,JESUS CHRIST,then they would outrightly condemn the Danjumas,Obasanjos,Babagindas,Atikus,Tinubus,Offors,Otedolas,Jonathans.these elites and more of their ilk have tru,CORRUPTION,SABOTAGE,ANTI-POOR POLICIES been responsible for the disaster that is nigeria today.
A cue should be taken from Messrs Desmond Tutu,Cardinal SIN who stood up to corrupt and anti-people regime.in collaboration with the people APARTHEID collapsed,Despot Ferdinand Marcos' kleptocracy was toppled.today in nigeria clergymen are in concordat with the govt.in response to the morality behind the 'Alams' PARDON,PRIMATE OKOH responded that he was not aware of the nature of ALAMEISEIGHYA offence!this interview was in 'the GUARDIAN' Aftermath the pardon.
its no crime for Mr.JONATHAN to visit REDEEMED CAMP or O.B.J to visit CANNANLAND FOR prayers etc.but it is A CRIME when CLERGYMEN HOLD THIER TONGUE in face of brazen corruption.silence is not golden.it is consent:just to keep the tithes and million-dollar pledges flowing.Jesus christ unequivocally condemned the coruption of tax collectors and pharises of his day.he did not hobnob with them.in any polity,religion is demed the watchtower of morality.what religion -mad nigerians refuse to recognise is that clergymen don't take members to heaven.salvation and destruction is personal.anyone thet believes nigeria's elites mean well for nigerians is living in a fol's paradise.today ,influential clergymen would be outright liars to still claim that pious JESUS CHRIST WHO WAS ASCETIC is their role model.Jesus Christ NEITHER Apostle Paul was materialistic.religion has failed in nigeria.

being successful takes a lot-'HARDWORK AND SACRIFICE',WE OFTEN HEAR MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS S1AY.less often is the 'myth' of hardwork en route success.a bricklayer in Lagos to be as rich as the Alakijas,DANGOTES,OTEDOLAS just tru hardwork..?hmm..and what about our motivational speakers citing U.S EXAMPLES OF MR. GATES,MR. ELLISON?MANY NIGERIANS LISTENING TO MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS ARE TOO LAZY TOO DO RESEARCH OF THEIR OWN.THEY JUST NEED TO TAKE THEIR TIME and find out the real thing .making it in nigeria isn't as 'direct' as motivational speakers are painting it to be.
Mr. Gates' dad was already a miliionaire even before 'Mr.MICROSOFT' was born.BIRTH&BACKGROUND determines a lot,even in the U.S,WHERE opportunities exist larger than nigeria's.naija's motivational speakers are truly profiting from the 'HOPE INDUSTRY' just like PASTORS and lottery guys.99.9 per cent of todayz billionaires in nigeria are politicians,DANGOTES ,OTEDOLA'S et al.motivational speakers are not saying this.and what about the 'etutus',sacrifices and other diabolic means our billionaires engage in, to get to the top.and remain at the top?nobody is talking about these things.naija's motivational speakers are making money on the 'e go beta 'mentality of the average nigerian.
IMAGINE A NIGERIAN STUDENT BELIEVING,'a bright future' of being a GOVERNOR without belonging to the SYSTEM-The 'secret society' that is the 'VISA'of these 'successful' people you read in nigerian newspapers.'hardwork' ain't what it seems.its just a myth.

a million gbosas for MR. CAMERON who never shies awy from the truth as bitter as it often tastes.i was impressed by his RECENT UK-E.U referendum speech.he is not a coward like the effeminate-G.E.J who is not in control of his govtG.E.J even finds it even impossible to put the financiallly reckless wife under check.such Jonathan leadership continues to magnify the disgrace and shame of the black race.anyone that thinks this cowardly-adminisrartion would efficiently cut poverty as 'LULA' did in BRAZIL, NEEDS A PSYCHIATRIC TEST.

Hardly has any artiste sounded so prophetic and rightly too.it takesd a lot of consistency and knowing the right people too.when i first heard the track'SUCCESSFUL'in 2008, i was not that moved merely because the hook'i jus wanna be i jus wanna be successful' hadn't sink in .latyer,it did .TODAY,IT STILL BRINGS BACK MEMORIES WHEN I SEE HOW FAR 'drake' AND 'trey'HAVE come.and how 'BIG'they are.
'SUCCESSFUL' has told us that u can make a rap hit without making it look like soft porn.and you don't need too much foul language,either.lines like..'they be looking at the money like its unfamliar',still rings a fond memory.like a christmas bell.'i want things to go my way'.from unconventional beginnings,these two guys have become household names.stars in their own right.DRAKE.is the 'more' successful,arguably.
it is important to note that talent isn't everything.you need contacts,too.DRAKE's team up with LIL WAYNE DID A LOT.yeh,ITS SWEET being 'SUCCESSFUL'.

Mr. Buhari would,afterall,had learnt his lessons of 2011 elections;FLEXIBILITY IS NECESSARY TO DISMANTLE the dominant P.D.P which has offered Nigerians avoidable evils:N5TRILLION NAIRA and counting has been brazenly and devilishly stolen under the feeble and corrupt Jonathan ADMINISRATION.contrary to conventional wisdom it is possible to defeat an Incumbent in NIGERIA.
firstly,Mr. Buhari is too quiet these days abut hte ravaging evils of today's corruption.N135B pension scam,NEITI's recent exposure of 4BILLION NAIRA LOST REVENUE,N29B LOSS EXPOSED OF THE OIL INDUSRTY,ETC. he needs to start racheting up the 'truth pressure' to let nigerians know a non-PDP govt. can jail the Satanic PDP corrupt officials and their collaborators in the OIL INDUSTRY.THIS WOULD SHOW THAT CORUPTION CAN BE NEUTRALISED IN NIGERIA CONTRARY TO THE MYTH OF 'INDOMITABLE CORRUPTION'.and yeh,it is not to early to start preparing the minds of nigerians who understand the truth but are to timid to do anything about it.secondly,an aliance with ACN,the biggest opposition party in nigeria is inevitable to clinch victory in 2015.Even tough Bola Tinubu is a muslim,a MUSLIM-MUSLIM ticket won the Presidential elections of 1993.Yorubas the most enlightened group, in nigeria aren't bothered about religion but populist-effectiveness.Mr.TINUBU would do what Pastor BAKARE was unable to do;DELIVER THE SIX SOUTH WEST STATES which would ensure victory as BUHARI'S 2011 TALLY is bound to increase;Northern Governors recently held a meeting in Kaduna affirming that the presidency should return to the north in 2015.the PDP is likely to be split in 2015 IF mr.Jonathan runs.and this time around money won't be a problem as renegade northern PDP Governors won't hesitate to fund Buhari,afterall,ethnic interests supersedes party interests always.
Jonathan's presidency has been a failure as i predicted last year.a timid man leading nigeria to ruins.Obasanjo was worse as Babangida.cowardly Jonathan is worstof the lot.Yeh,MR. BUHARI is not a saint but is well equipped to deal with the nation's biggest problem-corruption.a man that can not 'check' his wife is not fit to be called a 'man'.a weakling is not what nigeria needs.being a strong leader is not having a masters or a Ph.d.

TO the SATANISTS OGUAGUA, you think the devil wishes you well.better repent there,s a road that seemeth good unto men but the end is destruction.IT is not too late to save your soul from hell!

RESPECTED MAN OF GOD:are you not disturbed that most of the politicians you pray for still committ abominable crimes against the suffering masses of nigeria?THAT these politicians have stolen unrepentantly and continue to steal from the commonwealth?NIGERIA has $400billion in stolen funds in WESTERN BANKS?is it news any longer?why YOUR anger (expectedly)against BOKO HARAM,UNLIKE YOUR 'COLLEAGUE' Pastor oristsejafor, need to be largely bottled up?IS IT too much to ask for;ostracizing EVIDENTLY CORRUPT politicians who seat conspicuously in the front rows during your sermons?Jonathan,TINUBU,etc.TIME MAGAZINE named YOU THE 49th most influential man in the world,AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR ANY NIGERIAN.isnt it high time you made your political anger known as evidently,yourlargely$2 per day flock are crying for intervention?FRONT PEWS FILLED WITH FUEL SUBSIDY FRAUDSTERS?knowing that GOD DOES NOT COME DOWN,HE USES MEN OF GOD to liberate natons from the grip of Satanic and evil rulers?.
RELIGION AND POLITICS DON'T MIX?and what about CARDINAL SIN of the PHILLIPNES who led a REVOLUTION against the CORRUPT AND EVIL REGIME OF FERDINAND MARCOS?PAPA, NIGERINS ARE WAITING..waiting.lest i forget,DESMOND TUTU,REVEREND MARTIN LUTHER KING JNR.aren't inspring enough?oppresion,poverty etc are political issues but also religious issues.MANY POLITICIANS YOU PRAY FOR DON'T DESERVE IT BBECAUSE THEY ARE OCCULTISTS:POWERED BY LUCIFER.with great POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.

WHEN WALL-Building NEHEMIAH armed half of the guards with Swords and Spears and shields in Jerusalem,it was beyond SELF-defence,IT WAS A MESSAGE TO THE BLOOD-thirsty Arabs,TOBIAS AND SANBALLAT:'WE can do better'.the remainder half continued the work.it reminded me of THE COLD WAR ERA MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION, between the US AND THE THEN USSR.boko haram is now a tool of POST- PDP PRIMARIES 2011 DISGRUNTLED NORTHERN POLITICIANS who still FUME at ZONING(?)'GONE WRONG'.due to christians' 'lets continue praying response',BOKO HARAM NOW SEES 85MILLION CHRISTIANS AS COWARDLY AND STUPID.
MILLIONS of BOKO HARAM 'fans' are growing geometrically in the NORTH as the 'dreaded'2015 APPROACHES.'POWER MUST GO BACK TO THE NORTH'is now the new chorus.unarguably,BOKO HARAM is both a political and religious 'thing'YEH.THAT'S THE NORH FOR U.however,what disgusts me is the lack of unison amongst 85 million christians in nigeria to stand up to ISLAMIC TERRORISM AND INTIMIDATION,moreso as 2015 APPROACHES.the political plan is to INTIMIDATE PRESIDENT JONATHAN into vacating office 'unconstitutionally' by 2015.talk about QU'RANIC DURESS.
ITS time for the 85 milion Nigerin christians to go aggressive against THIS ''CALCULATED MADNESS'its STUPIDITY to belive that the soluton is ONLY PRAYER.the ''weeds' in C.A.N, WHO say ARMED SELF-DEFENCE is not the answer, should be uprooted out.a million GBOSAS! to MR.ORITSEJAFOR for speaking the truth.NEHEMIAH recognised the truth.and he acted.also,GEORGE W.BUSH,whose MACHO leadership convinced ISLAMIC TERRORISTS THAT YOU DON'T MESS WITH AMERICA.WHO(DARE)CAN CONVINCE ME THAT ISLAM IS REALLY 'PEACE'?

ITS common these days:'BEAUTY PAEGEANTS'-ONLY THAT most,if not virtually all are not 'beautiful' yeh.the truth has become ugly.'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'-nothing more can be farther from the truth.So i'm disgusted that the WHITE MAN'S definition of beauty has become also our standard of beauty.where is our 'AFRICANESS'-WHICH PLACES PREMIUM ON THICK,FULLY-FLESHED,LADIES?
SILVERBIRD GROUP without mincing words have been the chief 'fifth-columnist' spreading this Western 'virus'-'BEAUTY IS BEING SKINNY'.In NIGERIA today,plumpy,thick-set,OROBO' ladies now lack self-confidence due to the 'lepa assault'dominating today's media.MBGN.Miss this,miss 'oyingbo'.Even in most media groups,you can't become a successful HOST or anchor if you are not SKINNY OR 'LEPA'.its common to see rail-thin,broomstick thin girls as as CELEBRETIES DESPITE THE FACT THAT MOST OF THESE SKINNY cELEBRITIES STARVE THEMSELVES JUST TO 'BELONG',IN THE PROCESS, DAMAGING THEIR HEALTH.a brazilian MODEL LOST HER LIFE trying to 'belong',at less than 40kg! its the duty of the nigerian media to roll back this 'LEPA COLONIALISM'.we're not WHITES!WE'RE PROUD TO BE AFRICANS!

WHEN YOU EXAMINE nations that broke up their inhospitable polity due to ethnic or religious factors,then you know NIGERIA DOES NOT FALL INTO THAT reality.UNLIKE the former USSR,Czechoslovakia,Korea et al. Nigeria is too complex to be broken up.despite the 2015 doomsday 'prophecy',of that US agency,indirectly the US government's,it has been business as usual:bombings,regrettable loss of innocent lives.and then the refrain:''we will fish out the killers! hmmm... hot air.ethnic and religiuos bloodletting did not start under the Jonathan adminisrtation and it would not end with it.WHY?simple answer:the average nigerian is too SCARED TO SACRIFICE HIS/HER LIFE for future progreess.
the government of the USSR didn't want a breakup,because being elites they were benefitting enormously from the lopsided system as the DANGOTES,OTEDOLAS ETC ARE BENEFITTING FROM SUCH LOPSIDED SYSTEM THAT REWARDS CORRUPTIONin naija.but in politics and businees.every big time business mogul in naija is indirectly a politician.the people of the USSR INSISTED ON IT.any break up in Naija 2day is equally war and no nigerian is ready to sacrifice.geography and ethnic wise ,nigeria is the most complex nation in the world.we are so interwoven.the CHRISTIANS IN KADUNA and MIDDLE BELT,would they want a MUSLIM DOMINATED Republic of northern nigeria?even,in the NIGER DELTA there are divisions.sharp divisions.the only HOMOGENOUS REGION is the SOUTH EAST.witout a coastline SECCESION IS HAMPERED.AND igbos have 80%of investments outside igboland.thus.the reluctncy to heed MASSOB CRY:''TO YOUTR TENTS O ISRAEL!''.Naija is 2 complex,2 2 COMPLEX!2015 WOULD come and go and boko haram madness would cease dramatically if GOVT. acts tough or a Northerner becomes president in 2015.you know war would be bad for the benefitting ELITES(both muslim and christian).so power brokers would not want ''sand sand in their garri''.2015 would be like every ''naija year''.and we've gotten use to it?haven't we?

'' we''ll make NIGERIA UNGOVERNABLE'' was the infamous or famous quote of key members of the A.C.F, the most respected BODY OF NORTHERN LEADERSHIP.and what was the BEEF'?MR. JONATHAN,HAD BROKEN THE ''ZONING'' ARRANGEMENT OF THE P.D.P.today,MR.KAITA OR ALHAJI KAITA WHO made such provocative statenment is still a free man after al the uncountanle bombings and hundreds of lives lost.
that MR. JONATHAN is a weak leader is no longer in doubt as the F.G SEMMS TO BE LOSING THE FIGHT AGAINST the dreaded BOKO HARAM.can you imagine an INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY BEING celebrated not in the EAGLE SQUARE but in the seclusion of ASO ROCK?yeh,the ''fear of BOKO HARAM IS THE BEGIINNING OF WISDOM''.MR. JONATHAN WON'T WIN THE WAR against BOKO HARAM not because of the COMPLEXITY OF NIGERIA but of his timidity.
today,the S.S.S HAS clearly failed in the war againsrt BOKO HARAM.BUT has any offical being sacked?NO.WHAT OF the POLICE?no heads yet to ROLL.MR. JONATHAN IS NOT even MACHO ENOUGH TO ARM-TWIST THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY to make emergency laws against insecurity where the DEATH PENALTY is applied to cold blooded murderers that is boko haram.900 billion naira! security budget of 2012.would it work?yeh,NIGERIA IS COMPLEX but it takes MACHO LEADERSHIP to win this war.sadly,G.E.J IS NO ''VAN DAMME''

DAVID SILVA WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN MILES AND MILES AHEAD OF MATA,WHO IS ALSO A GOOD PLAYER BUT NOT OF THE SAME CLASS.

the RECENT march through the streets  of Lagos by the OPC should be seen in good lightand not in a tribal view as the first and foremost essence of the OPC protest was 'securing' lives,albeit indirectly.ONE CANNOT JUST SIT BACK AND CONDEMN THE EXCESSES OF boko haram .action is needed.this march reminds me ofthe 1990S IN ESPANA,where Spanish citizens in Madrid staged angry protests to denounce the violence of E.T. A, a violent group similar IN TACTICS to BOKO HARAM.         E.T.A  which  fights for a seperate homeland since then have been largely rendered impotent,the VIOLENT group even agreeing to a rare cease fire.         
                         those who SNEERand make tribal jest AT THE ARMED MARCH should hold their heads in SHAME as in matters of life and death ,no matter your tribe,the safety of lives and property is non-negotiable,not to mention the ethnic diversity of LAGOS.that it was labelled a 'YORUBA' MARCH is nonense as beneficiaries of this commendable act would also include NON-YORUBAS. non-yorubas,especially,IGBOS who are quick to purr the term 'COWARDS' should ask themselves ;HOW MANY times have the IGBOS retaliated in the NORTH WHEN BEING CONSISTENTLY BUTCHERED,a la the 1994 kano  riots,where the head of an IGBO MAN GIDEON AKALUKA was humiliatingly and savagely paraded on the streets of KANO.numbers?NUMBERS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BRAVERY as CAESAR,ALEXANDER THE GREAT HAS SHOWN.A Smaller CROATIAN ARMY DEFEATED a much more bigger SERB ARMY.  the term'COWARD' EXPLAINS THE frustrations of an ENVIOUS BUNCH.

That ISLAM means 'PEACE' won't sell in the 'right wing' world .a la the western world,THINK OF U.S REPUBLICANS,U.K'S CONSERVATIVES e.t.c.what is pertinent to note that in any religion there are two sides to a coin.the image of ISLAM as a religion of more than a billion people is one of 'gore' often fuelled by acts of terrorism by ,often MIDDLE EAST culprits.no one should ever justify acts of terrorism as 'justifiable' as there are many more ways to air your grieviances .CHINA once seethed under WESTERN DOMINATION,think of the BOXER'S REBELLION.the OPIUM WAR(19TH CENTURY)the chinese didn't turn to violence,they dusted thier books beating Westeners to their own game.today CHINA is the 2nd BIGGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD!
Just A SMALL FRACTION OF ANYTHING CAN ALTER THE IMAGE OF A WHOLE,as NAIJA fraudsters have 'stained' millions of innocent peolple.YES, onlly a fraction of adherents givng ISLAM the 'image'.the 1999 kaduna riots more than 1,000 nigerians were killed.SEPT. 11,2011,MAY 7,2005(LONDON),ISTANBUL BOMBINGS,e.t .c.AL JAZZERA has done well to prove that violence in the name of religion is only by the intolerant few.AND WHAT OF YORUBA MUSLIMS ,whom have never ,EVER ,SHED BLOOD IN THE NAME OF RELIGION?most importantly in AFRICA'S largest city,LAGOS?
THE PROBLEM of ISLAM being associated with violence is as a result of the failure of the 'SILENT MUSLIM MAJORITY'.it is not enough to insist that ISLAM means 'peace' and stand by not condemning in the stongest terms acts of violence.intolerant IMAMS,SCHOLARS,AYATOLLAHS, should be dealt with as SAUDI ARABIA HAS SUCCESSFULLY DONE.LARGELY under KING FAHD.in NIGERIA,the SULTAN OF SOKOTO.his EMINENCE ABUBAKAR III,is not DOING ENOUGH!words alone aren't sufficient.punishment,ostracism would do well,.enough of the killings in the NORTH! if you so much hate AMERICA, DEVELOP YOUR ECONOMY as CHINA has done.more importantly,UNEMPLOYMENT IS NOT AND should never be claimed by 'apololgists' as an excuse for VIOLENCE. the 'SILENT MUSLIM MAJORITY' should act NOW!

LEE KUAN YEW ,clearly one of ASIA'S greatest leaders believe genetically wise ,blacks are inferior.of course MR. YEW IS AN exemplar of astounding leadership,  frogmarching SINGAPORE from a third world nation to Ist,with a GDP PER HEAD OF $40,000!NIGERIA'S BELOW $1,000.BUT mr. YEW, ARE YOU AWARE THAT DURING THE NIGERIAN cIVIL WAR(1967-1970),IGBOS, OF PURE african stock, built REFINERIES ,AIRPORTS,ARMOR TANKS,BOMBS,  without the assistance of the whiteman?CAMBODIA,LAOS, are they developed nations?or are they run by blacks?
           YES,most african nations today are 'basket cases',compared to their colonial ASIAN contemporaries like SINGAPORE,MALAYSIA, even INDIA WITH A BILLION PLUS POPULATION BURDEN is making astounding progress in technology.think of SOFTWARE GIANT,'INFOSYS',TATA,THESE ARE GLOBAL BRANDS EVEN ENVIED BY THE WEST,INDIA'S ONCE COLONIAL MASTERS.ARE THERE NO dark skinned PEOPLE IN INDIA?that MOST black nations are poor and under developed doess not mean such would be forever.THE IDEA OR MYTH OF BLACKS BEING GENETICALLY INFERIOR IS A PRODUCT OF THE western dominated media undobtedly 'assisted' by traitors in our mist who,tellingly occupy TOP government positions.
              JAMES WATSON ,nobel laureateand co-discoverer of the DNA, ,once made an infamous comment IN 2007 on the genetically inferiority of the black man.then are there not whie nations in EASTERN  europe,WHOSE GDP per head is far far less than singapore's? a la ROMANIA e.t.c are those also cursed?until WE AFRICANS TAKE CONTROL OF THE our own MEDIA AND STORIES ,THIS MYTHs WOULD CONTINUE. the WESTERN media has craftily refused to acknowledge that the greatest piece of Enginnering on earth,the PYRAMIDS OF PHARAOH KHUFU was built by blacks or the early EGYPTIANS.DON'T BE SHOCKED THE EARLY EGYPTIANS WERE blacks.THE PYRAMIDS HAVE STOOD UNSHAKEN,FOR MORE THAN 5,000 YEARS!'KEIMITE' the early name of EGYPT means 'BLACK'.yeh, CNN WOULD NEVER MENTION THIS.(to be continued).

I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THE THEN STRONG RUMOURS MAKING ROUNDS A FORTNIGHT AGO,that GRAHAM AUBREY ,a.k.a ,'DRAKE' was dumping YOUNG MONEY  for good.to me,DRAKE is already is own man.clearly ,DRAKE should have won the best artiste GRAMMY last time but to keep BIEBER fans not diisappointed ,the award went to a green horn.       'successful,' DRAKE first hit track says a lot about DRAKE'S type of rap, entirely different from his mentor lil wayne. SINCE then,DRAKE has come a long way.and it is not only about the looks.     
                 'forever','over','best i ever had', and recently,'HEADLINES' would definitely survive the long run when compared to WEEZY'S 'HOW TO LOVE',MR. OFFICER','DROP THE WORLD' e.t.c .it is pertinent to know that the FAN BASE of RAP MUSIC is changing rapidly.now, white folks are in the rising market of RAP MUSIC.gone were the days of  aggression and lots and lots of swear words.the 'f' 'n', word.a la DMX, JARULE.that DRAKE MADE 11MILLION  DOLLARS last year says alot about the changing face of RAP:more MODERATE ,more ethnic diverse.for now LIL WAYNE WOULD BE 'ON TOP' IN RESPECT OF  PAST ACHIEVEMENTS, but most times things change and startling too.of course DRAKE is not mr.CLEAN, WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE CENSORED LYRICS OF 'I'M ON ONE'.BUT THE INGRIEDENTS of long term success .,he has it.LIL WAYNE would still be LIL WAYNE but it is no fiction that a protegee can outshine his master,like CAESAR 'OUTSHINING' POMPEY.TIME WILL TELL.

A fortnight ago when Argentina lost to VENEZUELA IN A SOUTH AMERICA 2014 WORLD cup qualifier,the spotlight was again on Messi,as the 'La pulga' failed to shine.'no excuses' not to shine,i'd said to a couple of Messi's 'apologists'.don't blame him,they argued :he does not have XAVI,INIESTA,e.tc.but does Messi need Xavi and co. all the time?NO DOUBT,MESSI is the best player of his generation and BARCA's greatest player of all time.that MESSI fails to reproduce the same SUPER FORM of FC Barcelonafor THE 'BELOVED COUNTRY'.tells his 'incomplete greatness.i'don't cry for me Argentina'
WHEN YOU EXAMINE'Gods' of World football,MARADONA AND PELE, BECKANBAUER,CRYUFF,KEMPES,ROSSI,E.TC there's one common denominator;NATIONAL GLORY.for a player that didn't score a single goal at the SOUTH AFRICA 2010 world cup!MESSI does not quqalify yet to be one the revered ' GODS'OF WORLD FOOTBALL.XAVI HERNANDEZ was the right choice of the 2010 Balon D'or Award,not MESSI. IF YOU CAN'T SHINE ON THE WORLD STAGE,you are not yet elligible to join the pantheon of 'gods'.you don't always need equally perfect team mates to shine.MARADONA,who stamped his name eternally in the 1986 World cup,also single -handedly won the Italian title for NAPOLI,ending the30yrs dominance of the northern clubs like INTER,MILAN,JUVENTUS, MESSI NEEDS to win A WORLD CUP TO have achieved the greateset dream of any footbaler.the World cup still remains the World's most prestigious trophy.

the recent uproar generated by Tiwa savage video ,'love me ,love me, love me',to me, wasn't surprising when you consider the naija HYPOCRISY;(religious but corrupt)WHAT MANY fail to know is that sex sells,whether you like it or not .to me,TIWA DIDN'T NOT EVEN SHOW MUCH WHEN you juxtapose the 'gagas','Rowlands'e.t.c.Ms. Tiwa as been labelled 'yankee wannabe' or imitator,a cliche ,nowadys used as a weapon byNAIJA 'hip hop 'culture' warriors.
Injecting yoruba language into hip-hop whether as 'hook',or lyrics,today is an unwritten rule to make hip-hop hits,largely, albeit.must an ARTISTE inject yoruba or igbo into a track just for the sake of it?yes, it is pertinent to preserve our culture by the use of indigenous lang. but not all artistes need that,to be successful. what culture warriors fail to grasp is that considering circumstances such as birth ,emigration,inter-marriage,environment,THEN, all NAIJA artistes cannot BE the Same;'vernacular wise'.good music is RELATIVE,not 'universal'.WHAT IS GOOD MUSIC TO YOU IS 'WACK' TO OTHERS. in port-harcurt,in 2004,watching RONALDINHO's, 'coronation',in ZURICH,SWITZERLAND,many viewers grumbled about the incessant OPERA 'delays',forgetting that what opera music is to the EUROPEAN IS same as RAP to the blackman.
then,there is 'MODE 9'.unarguably the 'best RAPPER IN NAIJA',albeit not the 'best nigerian rapper',when you understand his poor commercial successs in 'vernacular strong' naija hip-hop.'yoruba hip hop', is good as we are not and CAN NEVER BE americans or 'yankees'.but the conspiracy of ignoring,the so called 'yankee wannabes' should stop.good music is good music.whether done in yoruba,igbo,pidgin or 'YANKEE STYLE'.DJS,T.V,STAR MEGA JAM,RADIO STATIONS, shOULD STOP THIS CONSPIRACY.the reward system should not be discriminatory.artistes like MODE 9,SHOULD BE ACCORDED THEIR WORTH,'shows wise'.we all can't be of the same '.cloth' afterall,VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE.

THE 10MILLION VOTE MARGIN racked up by MR.JONATHAN in the 2011 elections says much about the challenger,MR. MUHAMMADU BUHARI,AS MUCH as the the unfairness of the nigerian polity when a challenger hopes to defeat an incumbent,a rare feat IN AFRICA ,nonetheless achievable,a la ZAMBIA.BUHARI'S LOSS has brought to the fore how what is virtue in other climes maybe an 'achilles heel' in naija's unique terrain.firstly,how do you hope to defeat an incumbent with a party just under 16months old?the C.P.C ,NEWLY FORMED WITH NO GRASSROOT STRUCTURE,ESPECIALLY IN THE south ,was one of the ominous sign of looming defeat,for the C.P.C candidate. you can't take on succesfully, the .conservatives or the P.D.P,THAT HAS BEEN ON GROUND FOR NOT ONLY TWELVE YEARS BUT FOR DECADES[N.P.C,N.P.N E.TC]IN ADDITION to this,BUHARI'S DECISION NOT TO ALIGN WITH THE A.C.N the second largest party was a personal blunder which further eroded any chances of victory.and it didn't help that BUHARI'S ALOOFNESS ,DID A GREAT DAMAGE.IN POLITICS,you don't isolate your self.you need people.BUHARI'S DECISION TO PICK PASTOR TUNDE BAKARE WAS also a blunder of the highest order.MR.BAKARE MAY share the same honest streak with the retired general,but someone like MR.TINUBU,OR MR. ORJI KALU would have added excitement and 'gravitas' to the ticket.when you need to win its better to win ugly than to lose as a saint.moreso,he couldn't armtwist the A.N.P.P'S S hekerau into 'line'.'shared' votes working to JONATHAN'S FAVOUR IN KANO,OF ALL PLACES. then,he had to face the monster called incumbency. when you imagine the MONEY MACHINE,THE N.N.P.C,the police ,the Army,the S.S.S,being under the control of JONATHAN,ONE WOULD AGREE THAT WHILE ELECTIONS ARE FREE LARGELY.IT WAS NOT FAIR.a lesson also of note is the naija 'way'.in other climes.a party with 12years of 70% poverty rate would have been soundly defeated.not nigeria ,where we foget that the beauty of any democracy is a virile opposition.i'm not a 'personal' foot soldier of BUHARI ,JUST an admirer of his legendary honesty.a retired GENERAL,with no landed property in MAITAMA,NO OIL BLOCKS,NO FOREIGN ACCOUNTS,IMAGINE!coruption is, and would remain our biggest problem largely because ''the people deserve the government they get''

much has been made of the WAR ERA  policies of  CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO,. the finance minister during the nigerian civil war(1967/1970).it is widely believed or evident that as the no.2 man running the show ,he crafted the Gowon rebuttal of the Aburi conference resolutions which some believed would have averted the bloodshed,maybe maybe not.it is pertinent   know that in war there is no universal rules, instead war zone conventions are relative. is it right to call ex U.S PRESIDENT W. BUSH,WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE DEATH OF OVER 200,00 IRAQIS$over 4,000 U.S Servicemen and women,a war criminal? AS MY OWN OPINION,AWO performed well in the capacity he found himself and excellently well too.during the jewish war A.D 66/70,ROMAN GENERAL, TITUS, CONQUERED JERUSALEM,after much bloodshed,today, the TITUS ARCH STILL stands in ROME,ITALY.others have called TITUS a war criminal,many miliions yet adore him.ALEXANDER THE GREAT, WAS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THOUSANDS OF DEATHS,TODAY, EUROPEAN SCHOLARS REVERE HIM and his'achievements'.and what of NAPOLEON,THE LIVING 'GOD' OF French nationalists?i am pretty  sure that if any biafran leader then had the opportunity or resources AWO'S FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD, HOW THE WAR IS WON WOULD BE NO OBJECT.the end justifies the means,IT WOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN SAID.in every manthere is a ''selfishiness''of sorts, whether you admit it or not.LIKE IN ATHLETICS OR OTHER SPORTS,THE ONLY THING IS WINNING.those who accussed awolowo of STARVATION,should ask themselves whether being soft has ever achieved anything.MR. JONATHAN IS ROUGHLY,FINDING THAT OUT NOW.in war,there would always be casualties.yes,in war there are ugly things,but it is part of the tragedy that comes up in any conflict.AWO,AS ANY MAN,is not and was not perfect.of greater impotance is to PONDER BEFORE GOING THE WHOLE HOG.''DON'T GET INTO A FIGHT YOU CAN'T WIN''

WHEN LATINO HEARTTHROB RICKY MARTIN declared in 2009 that he was gay, the world was stunned.RICKY,the telegenic star?so all the kissing females on set was fake?the millions of ricky's fans, mostly females, felt betrayed.SOME WERE ANGRY.was i?of course not.but i was surprised like many.and i saluted ricky for his 'COURAGE'.at least he living a REAL LIFE today,in a FAKE world of BREAST ENLARGEMENT,LIPOSUCTION,NOSE JOB E.T.C.THEN I ASK WHAT MAKES A PERSON GAY?genetics?heartbreak?association?, here comes the big one:MONEY. .HMMM being gay in nigeria or any place in the world highlights a different world today ,say 20yrs ago.but the heat is always on:critics arise ,of which am one.to the guys,was there a choice to be straight? or was it for monetary gains,being aware that booming gay communities in nigeria(kano,apapa,lagos island) live large at least for the night of beer, champagne,, and do gays and lesbians feel fufilled or jealous watching a 'normal' couple stroll down the street with their 'blood' children?mind you, a live birth is 'different' from an adopted child or one of I.V.F.(IF U KNOW WHAT I MEAN).LESBIANISM, A GROWING TREND in nigeria PRESENTS THE SAME QUESTINS AND CHALLENGES.monetaryor genetics.i can live'with' the genetic factor,but others .hmmm.i have a different view.NO EXCUSE FOR LESBIANISM. in 'college' i had no money,no ride and i watched helplessly,as the chicks i adore most,
went to the rich guys! was i jealous?of course.was my reaction impulsive ?of course not. i knew like SOME REFLECTIVE guys,that even without money, i wud find my 'taste'.i didnt go mad, harboring hatred for ALL women- the very ist step towards becoming gay.in respect of 'respect',community acceptance, a straight guy would alwys have more opportunities in( life and )pursuit of success.being a secluded group as a result of sexual preferences limts opportunities even in the U.S. as a GIRL,if u'v been raped or heartbroken,my sympathies, from the depth of my heart. amongst we men,as there are players,there are also 'contenders' to win ur heart.time. PATIENCE.AND REFLECTIONS is the key. HEARTBREAK IS NO EXCUSE FOR LESBIANISM.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE BENIN- ORE HIGHWAY NATIONAL DISGRACE,MAYBE WHEN JONATHAN'S SIBLINGS SUFFER THE SAME FATE,THEN ATTENTION WOULD BE GIVEN TO THAT ROAD. MC LOPH, REPSCANT IN PACE(R.I.P).
