These guys eat,think and breathe lyricism,if you are in tune to the battle rap section you'll understand,for over 10yrs now these textcees have been holding it down with crazy-out-this-world-lyricism that your boogey can only read and be left in awe.

BTW i still hold the notion that jagz is better than boogey.

Bro, sorry for jumping on this thread. Even Jagz knows Boogey is sicker! This dude breathes lyricism. He doesn't even need to blow weeds to be high on words like J. Ask MI, ask Modenine, ask Terry....they all recognise Boogey's lyrical prowess. Dude writes like every other day, get his 2 mixtapes, u'll find the lyric book. SANCTUM by Boogey (his first single) is a classic

Hello, thank you in anticipation for your response.

God Bless!

Lol thanks guys for voting. Going 24 lines against Giyazz's 40 and still counting, @emaprince is to be blamed for that I guess.

Is it me or the newbies still confuse text battles with grindtime themed battles? Quoting references outside their Writtens, explaining their next bar, having skits and interludes like RnB albums? I was almst expecting to read a line stating the producers name.

NaaAh! While y'all had Facebook, we got schooled @ AHH. If you want to rap with references outside the 'text' battle context, then make diss tracks nd let your vocals first.

Cheers!

@Ibime @Coogar @Alexpissu I see you

JAYEFF:
If I haven't read your lines, I'd have mistaken you for a d0pe emcee. you're all trash mister when compared with this generation

Emcee ke? Cut it buoy, there are no mics or booths here. Jst ur 10 fingers for typing text battles, @ best y'all are textcees more like netcees. "This generation probably needs a regeneration to generate half the buzz we had

Rubbish! Hw's this making front page? Y'all shld follow the likes of Ibime's and Streetwise scripts for rap battle lessons.

@linusbb @emiye no doubts, Samson is a smart individual bt he's held a position for the last 16yrs! Since the beginning of the 4th republic.

Some people can spew rubbish sha!...In 2012, PDP did lose every single ward in the entire state. how you fail to realise APC has a strong hold in Edo and at least were expected to ease through the polls there because of the sitting governor beats my imagination. The people of Edo are gradually liberating themselves and PDP won the state for the President.

I mean, seeing y'all dragging for 25% in an APC governed state is a knock on APC's head. The south east have spoken, south south has been ported already, let GMB maintain his North while the both parties get a fair share off the South West. Don't forget, the middle belt is settled as well.

@Alexpissu

TELL THEM BRO, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WE KNOW! REASON IT'S ALL FCKED UP NOW. MISS THE OLD DAYS

Please what is the price for a Honda Accord 2010 with all the right clearance?

Too many fools on here, their ignorance is endless. No wonder you celebrate people like Osibanjo serious when he is trying to score cheap political points. All the APC states are known for advertising their completed and on going projects. In a country as big as Nigeria with ignorant people, how can you explain to them over 60percent of our federal highways has either undergone one sort of rehabilitation or reconstruction when all they do is sit on their couches to curse the government for not fixing the road in front of their houses. Yes you need to advertise government projects! Do you know how many local governments are in Nigeria? Without publicity how can you score the government? No wonder y'all be screaming GEJ has failed, what have you done for yourself, family and immediate community? You have failed too right?

It is normal for the internet and newspapers to be filed with random articles, essays and write ups trying to demystify the Country Nigeria and understand the current political unrest. I find this by far the most revealing, unbias and accurate. If you want CHANGE, if you mean well for Nigeria then you should read this. First of all, the writer Odia Ofeinum is a distinguished gentle man who fully grasp the dynamics and principles of the Modern Nigeria as it relates with the early republics.

[size=14pt]2015 AND AFTER[/size]

One remarkable paradox about the 2015 General Election is that it ought to be a referendum on whether President Goodluck Jonathan has done well in Agriculture, Aviation, Road construction, Education, Health and especially Ebola, Railways, Electricity, and whether he achieved the purpose of putting constitutional reforms on the agenda of the Nigerian state as most Nigerians have been asking for since the beginning of the Fourth Republic. It is simply true, and provable, that in these areas, Jonathan has done exceedingly better than his illustrious predecessor, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, a very remarkable under-achiever, who has been needling him on all grounds and coking the mythology that Goodluck Jonathan has no clue. It is also quite true that President Jonathan’s achievements have been made possible in spite of the devious antics of stalwarts of his political party, the People’s Democratic Party; a party on the verge of earning a National merit award for looting the treasury, a malfeasance for which so many of its former executives are in court awaiting the kind of long trials that give a stinking name to the judiciary. It happens to be a political party mis-constructed by Obasanjo in his days as his own two-term oil Minister, to function with cabals that President Jonathan once had to alert the country about on discovering that he could not take any serious steps without being checkmated by those who assumedly made him a President. Trying to unriddle his way off the hold of the cabals has earned Goodluck Jonathan a permanent needling for clue-lessness that has been joined by a protest movement which has not cared to face the cabals, because protests in the country are partly sponsored by cabals, but has since merged with a very vibrant opposition, clever at brickbats and hyper-inflating about how poorly Jonathan is doing, without having the ideological savvy to set a new agenda for Nigeria. Indeed, the hard part and what rankles is that, without showing evidence of a clue as to how an opposition, given Obafemi Awolowo’s enduring example, marshals a strong sense of policies and programmes to lift a country up, the party of opposition has acquired the reprehensible features of the PDP and is confronting the country with a mirror image of that other party in the name of an electoral choice.

The crucial point here is that, in the face of the menace of Boko Haram, the Islamic religious sect pursuing a propaganda of arms and suicide bombers against Christians, Muslims of other sects, and against western education, of which its prime minders are evident beneficiaries, it is needless to ask why President Jonathan’s better performance, above Obasanjo’s, is not getting a fair hearing and an objective appraisal. It so happened that Boko Haram was pampered from a foetal stage into grand terrorism by Olusegun Obasanjo’s government with the help of all the Governors of the Northern states who gave a subvention to the sect until President Umaru Yar’adua stopped it. After the extra-judicial killing of Yusuf, the leader of Boko Haram during Yar’adua’s term, the sect went nuclear in search of external aid that has still not been fairly distinguished from domestic sponsorship. In the face of the kidnap of the Chibok school girls, the bombing of markets and public places by the sect, and successful compromising of the territorial integrity of the country, whoever was President of Nigeria ran the risk of never getting fairness of judgement unless he found a means of ending the terrorism.

The truly intriguing part is that President Jonathan needed to do his job as chief security officer of the Nigerian state in the face of many Northern leaders who saw anti-terrorism as a war on the North, while seeing Boko Haram itself as a fit response of the North to Niger Delta militancy. A President of Niger Delta extraction caught in the web of such presumptions was bound to suffer distraction of a kind that required him either to let his government be controlled by the antics of the terrorists or to learn to steer his course irrespective of the distractions that are designed to put his resolve off balance. Learning to steer his course has had the implication of sometimes making him look uncaring about the massacres and pogroms being committed across a wide swipe of the North East and North West of the country by suicide bombers and stray gun-totters. But, clearly, he has owed a responsibility that he could only discharge by standing with the military and other security forces that have been ritually under-equipped and under-supplied for decades. This has also meant standing at the centre of the political class in disgrace when school girls and others are abducted by terrorists and the country’s territorial integrity is assaulted with impunity. The disgrace has been made most obvious by the United States of America which has rather brashly refused to share intelligence information with the Nigerian government and insisting on not selling ammunition to the Nigerian state, because of the infiltration of the Nigerian government by the Boko Haram sect and the disrespect of the Nigerian Army for the fundamental human rights of the insurgents. Surely, with a foreign power earning a role that is not so innocent in the narration of the events, the matter ought to be seen not so much as problem for just the President of Nigeria but one on which a sensible political class ought to see a high-powered annulment of its status and an oblique pressure for its members to be pushed sideways for a foreign body to be inserted as problem-solver. That this is not the case and that there are sensational disagreements of a partisan political nature between the government and the opposition, without a sensible proposal for an alternative handling of the matter, portends a serious challenge to the integrity of Nigeria’s political class as a whole. To have allowed matters of national security and survival to degenerate to partisan brickbats in such a manner is like refusing to see the handwriting on the wall. Which makes it quite a sore point that President Jonathan has not volunteered what he is doing about those Nigerians, within or outside his government, who are alleged by the United States to be working for or sponsoring Boko Haram. When will they be outed and exposed? Or what are the highly explosive Nigerian dynamics that the President is keeping quiet about because of the need to defeat Boko Haram or prevent the break up of Nigeria which a United States Intelligence outfit almost gleefully fixed for 2015, a decade ago? Well, these are questions which have cut into an assessment of President Goodluck Jonathan’s term of office and which may explain why he is being denied objectivity or fair hearing in many quarters.

The truth of the matter however is that there is simply no running from the reality, which some may wish, like ostriches, to forget by burying their heads in the sands. This reality is that Boko Haram is part of the running sore of competition between “North” and South which must be resolved either by capitulating to those who wish that the North be treated as another country or by acknowledging that the harsh drawline between North and South must be removed by proper social engineering and the building of a new national consensus. Once this is realized, it becomes clear that the inverted commas used in the case of the North are worth emphasizing. This is because the North is a diverse zone in which forced-draft unity (northern exclusivism) has become the means deployed to create violence on a large scale by those who believe that all who live in the region must have the same standpoint on all issues, without dissent or difference of opinion. Those who so believe are the real culprits of the Boko Haram insurgency even when they have nothing to do with Boko Haram. Otherwise, there is no reason why any set of citizens should be allowed to act with such brashness and impunity as flaunted by those presuming to have a divine mandate to prevent other citizens from having or taking to, a different viewpoint form theirs. The crisis in the North East and across the North is, in this sense, simply one that requires Nigerians and the Nigerian government to defend the right of every Nigerian to self-respect, integrity, freedom of opinion, worship and association. Mercenaries and suicide bombers who seek to force the rest of us to abandon our own idea of Islam or Christianity and to buy into their rejection of western education, must be seen as enemies of a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, and multi-religious Nigeria who think that taking over the North East and, may be, the North West, will give them a place to stand from which to take the rest of the country.

thegoodjoehunt3:
How can a system be put in place without first reducing the level of corruption? The level of corruption under President Shagari was too high, drastic measures had to be taken to let people know that corruption is unacceptable. Maybe pardoning Alamieyeseighs is a system to start curbing corruption.

@thegoodjoehunt3
If you think taking drastic measures like jailing anybody allegedly corrupt means you are reducing the level of corruption then it is just sad. The human nature requires that certain people are pardoned because of your personal ties with them and this puts the government in a compromised state then alot of questions are raised about the true intents of the leader. To be more practical, GMB is being pushed by corrupt individuals and by this same human nature he is obliged to sway to their tunes. Instead of this stick method, if as a leader you put the right systems in place...there is no need to witch hunt people in the name of corruption, A good system is strong enough to fight back at corruption. I am a civil servant and I see how certain reforms have been used to handle massive corrupt cases.

The most interesting thing about setting up such systems as opposed to fighting people is 'continuity', it's easy for a new government to retain the basics of such systems. This is a clear reason why the moment GBM left office as the Head of State, corruption normalized within the blink of an eye. Everybody seem to have gone back to their old ways..

@Golddeejay I'd love to see the looks on your face when you'v found peace with yourself after reading about Nigeria, Leaders and Boko Haram. You need to understand how the problem can be traced back to over 40 years ago. It's a shame that Buhari who is a general, hails from Borno State (maternal side), was a military governor of Borno, eventually became a Head of State yet he has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING within his CAPACITY to offer any intelligence or assistance to tackle the current troubles of Insurgency. GEJ has failed in terms of providing security, so also has the past governments.

Then talk about economic, developmental achievements including in the agric sector. If you are using the USA or any other fully developed country as a yardstick, then you are just another added piece to the numerous problems of Nigeria.


@Great664

For comparisons, President Obasanjo met about $5 billion in foreign reserves, and the average monthly oil price for the 72 months he was in office was $38, and yet he left $43 billion in foreign reserves after paying $12 billion to write-off Nigeria’s external debt. In the last five years, the average monthly oil price has been over $100, and the quantity also higher but our foreign reserves have been declining and exchange rate depreciating.

Verify your values and figures from CBN and other reliable world finance sources, depending on a Soludo analysis will just make you look inept and more clueless.

We really need to realize corruption is just a product of a failed system coupled with a less defining constitution. We fail to see how much we'v come to a stand still that we DESIRE to rotate leaders and see nothing completely wrong with this. I look forward to having Abdusalam Abubakar as president in the nearest future. Who knows, maybe GEJ will be called upon again when he is 80. Keep your sentiments and open your eyes!

@ogene007 @Thinkr, @CaptainAmerica1, @Sacluxpaint, @luluosas, @bellong

Maybe this could help http://www.firstafricanews.ng/index.php?dbs=openlist&s=12691

@Op you are amazingly unrealistic and highly sentimental.

Having people sentenced with a non existent law?

His War Against Discipline was the biggest fraud ever. If Buhari worked on building a system rather than ENFORCING laws on people by unleashing the Military, Nigeria would have been less corrupt by now.

Tackling corruption is not about jailing and killing people everyday, there will be no Nigeria if this continues. How about providing a proper system that will gradually check corrupt activities and prevent them. How can you make civil servants do frog jump or get flogged in the open because of lateness, you call that discipline? Look at the private sector, look at banks, why do they have more dedicated staffs....it's simple, they provide a better Staff welfare in terms of salary and other provisions.

You may want to do your research on how the economy crumbled during GMB's watch. He failed Maths anyways, not like much is expected from him.

The truth is GMB or GEJ are neither the problems or answers. In other to move the country forward, there is a need to revist and have a revised constitution. A Lot of amendment is required.

Those of you who read Charles Soludo's piece and think that is Jesus Christ speaking are suffering from amnesia, Soludo manipulated figures just to favour his arguments, a simple Google search will unearth all his lies and half truths as contained in that piece.

Like Odia Ofeimun said "APC are even looking more PDP than the present PDP"

Nigeria is cursed with too many lazy people who cannot read, just show them a picture and they believe everything.

Nigerians celebrated when Buhari was pushed out of power, you may want to know the reasons behind this and it will help you understand GMB.

Meanwhile, I still wait for his "certificate" and not some statement of result. Also he needs to apologise to Nigerians for failing maths and lying under oath.

Cheers!

@Damogul I had to rewrite this to make sure I don't use insulting words or statements. OBJ brought GSM and many other things like? It is ok to receive a dumb broadcast message but coming out to post it on NL thereby suggesting that you are in full support of the entire piece shows you are possibly worse than the composer.

[size=13pt]Result or no result, he FAILED MATHS! he should have a quick resit because I don't see how you gain admissions without a credit in Maths and English[/size]

If what he did is legal, why did he not update his records with the Military by providing them with a statement of result or certificate. Rather he swore a false affidavit and backed it up with a letter of recommendation stating he WILL pass. GEJ is slow but I won't eat grass because I am tired of burnt rice.

Fellow Nigerians, vote for any candidate apart from Buhari! You lots raise ur fingers to type how GEJ has failed. Between GEJ and Buhari please I beg you, who is more insensitive to the plight of the people? Buhari in the past 20 years has shown no single sign of local or international advocacy, no added education, no leadership reference. As far as I am concerned he is politically stale and dormant. Reason he joined forces with the same set of people he labelled as corrupt while he was in his previous political party.

Someone who served under Abacha and saw nothing wrong with it but came out to say Abacha was not corrupt.

Buhari has been sleeping to the trials and woes of the same northern region he is from. He has no solution to Boko haram just because he is not the President, no single advisory content published or not from his end about possible ways or methods to curb the problem of insurgency and you say GEJ is clueless? He waits every 4 years to contest again. Rather than sound intelligence as a past leader and part of the northern elite or respected individual, he comes on air to make useless remarks about enforcing sharia and promoting one religion. Picking a fake pastor as a running mate, a boy to Tinubu cannot fool us. We see beyond his bigot nature and dual personality. A man who claims to fight corruption yet he stands on corrupt platforms and is surrounded by the likes of Tinubu and Dino Melaye. You pro GMB needs to apologise to every Nigerian for refusing to see beyond your eye lids. @kemitwarrior @grandmisty please feel free to verify my facts, just like I can take Kemit online classes on present road infrastructure development.

@kemitwarrior
Second Niger bridge for your information is not completely funded by the government, it is one of the projects under public private partnership and in such projects, a lot of due diligence is principally involved. This is why I said you should rather comment in forum games. Have you seen the design? Do you know the complications that led to the delay? Are you aware of the minor bridges and interchanges along the same alignment? Facts are key in intellectual exchanges and I am sorry, your end is unproductive. Cheers mate and have a glorious 2015

@kemitwarrior you are indeed a blind person. When you state speculations and false information as base for your arguments makes you appear really dumb. Please which bridges are you referring to? Do you even know how capital projects are executed? If you don't recognise the huge development in road infrastructure under GEJ's administration, then please comment under games and forums only. Go to the fed ministry of works in Abuja, get the records of awarded and completed projects for the past 16yrs and give yourself a very big knock.

Hey bro, can I make a suggestion. Imo 3-5 judges are more than enough in a tournament. Such a shameful display seeing Judges doubt their fellow Judges capability and they argue out their verdict in the open.
