hmmmm,

really divided opinions, its all good anyways, its easy to say Asa's album was worth more than we all paid for it (fact), but we found that out only after we bought it and listened to the whole album, are we saying if Asa releases a new album sometime this year which i hope she does, her reputation would be big enuf for you to buy the album for a thousand naira without listening to a track on it, ??

i bought tuface idibias new album and i had heard only the songs on the promo cd, truth is i bought it cos of his reputation and Lord knows i would have paid more, but truth be told, i didnt like the album and its now underneath my album rack,

What i can deduce from all the post here is that
1. Artistes need to do more work on the content of their albums, party tracks may last for a couple of months(Do Me), but classics last a lifetime(Bibanke)

2. Artistes need to do more than just put a CD in a pack, insert lyrics, cool pictures/wall papers, tickets to hang out with stars, celebrity t-shirts, album/free autograph signing sessions in fans hoods, (M.I, had one at the galleria sometime in march)

3. Associations that represent artistes rights(PMAN, NCC,etc) need to draw up a bill and present to the national assembly on protection of artistes rights and intellectual property (boring talk, but true talk)

4. National Assembly need to enact laws that stop piracy.

5. Worst case scenario, close down Alaba and let some trusthworthy distribution agencies handle these things,

Hope i've not said too much, holla

To conscience: having read your posts, I found some loopholes in your allegations. The sound of the word selective prosecutions used by people makes me feel shattered. I am not an Obasanjo apologist, but I think we should call a spade a spade instead of calling it a garden spoon.

Public officers caught stealing public funds complain of persecutions because of they are not in babas good book. For example, Alameseigha caught stealing millions said he was being manhandled because of his perceived loyalty to Atiku. But wait first, was that a justification for stealing public funds? Absolutely not!

Do you know who Fasawe was to baba? I guess you don't. For your information their frendship has spanned decades. In fact, he is one of the few who visits Aso rock without prior appointment. And yet EFCC dealt with him. Prior to his detention with EFCC, he had a very robust relationship with baba. There was no quarrel, yet he was dealt with. Or are you insinuating that baba took his case to EFCC? Absolutely not.

Have you forgotten Wabara? He was baba's stooge - an errand boy of the presidency. In fact he was baba's swagger stick. What did he do wrong to Baba? Of course he was in Baba's good book yet he was dealt with.

You can't just tell aborishade to resign just like that , he inherited the rot , he has barely spent some months in the industry, you could have been the minister too, ofcourse aborishade has always shown knack for thoroughness and discipline, remember when he handled the education minstry, he took ASUU to the cleaners ,dealt with them as if he was handling his own kids, and that made ASUU serious, when did you hear of ASUU strike again?

Tafa the greedy cop was never a politician, yes we heard about police being unruly at the ballot boxes, but it should interest you that the police in Nigeria is for the highest bidder, In some ANPP controlled states police were hired by politicians to harass voters, now conscience: could baba have used the same police to win elections in ANPP states.HELL NO. corruption in the force starts from the rank and file not only tafa, so the police intimidating voters were not sent by baba nor tafa, but they were acting on their own whims in feeding their deflated stomach

Baba never mandated agencies or parasatals to donate to his library, they did that for their own purposes, they were trying to remain in his good books, aboutNPA.the ports never donated, it was only stake holders of the port authority that did so, but neverthelesss, baba need some questionin from nuhu ribadu, like i said earlier, am not an obasanjo fan, am only tryin to set the records straight

conscience:
I am not criticizing for want of what to do.
I appreciate the laudable job Ribadu is doing at the EFCC.
But i am against selective prosecution - ''persecution''
I am against the breach of  fundamental human rights and rule of law in carrying out this onerous assignment.
I speak against being a judge in your own cause.
Tell me the cordiality  between Balogun,faswe, mankonjuola and BABA at the time of their persecution
What is the outcome of Faswe and Makanjoula's cases?
Why was Balogun not prosecuted for rigging elections for PDP.
Why is NEPA not performing at maximum capacity 6years after billions were sunk in?
Why is Aborisade still Minister, while junior officers were sacked for the rot in the aviation ministry?
Why is Anenih still free and dining with Baba, when roads are in such a deplorable state despite money ''spent'' on them during his tenure?
Why has EFCC not investigated how money stuffed in ''Ghana must go'' was kept by the gate of the National Assembly?
How did BABA get massive Land as gift in states like Cross River State, while in office?
Why has EFCC not investigated  the source of all the funds[millions] donated openly  toward Baba' election campaign .
Who authorized Government Ministries and Agencies,  State Governments,Public  Officers, Legislative houses and Local Governments to donate ''generously to Baba's library launch and from which allocation?
-EFCC over to you, treat this as my humble petition

When BABA was illegally incacerated.professional critics'' fought the Battle.
When Abacha imprisoned and cowed all Nigerians, we rose to the occasion.
Hate us or love us, the nation needs people like us at a time like this
We act as the pendulum between the Government and the Governed
We deserve your appreciation not condemnation.

Me again, sorry I left part of the last bit out in my translation. Here it is. Complete now.

Chineke nke igwe
Izoputawom
Mgbe momu no na nsogbu o
Agam enyegi ekele

Ekele oma kam genye gi
Otito oma kam genyi gi
Abu ndi monso kam ga abu o
Nijigi gosi na gi di ukwu o

Gbagharam mmehem Chineke
Kam kete oke nime gi
Okwagi, okwa gi si nige eburum ibua a
Okwa gi si ni gabu nkem o

Anom niru gi
Kam kete oke nime gi



It means:
God of heaven (or God in heaven)
You saved me
When my soul was in trouble (or troubled)
I will give you thanks

Good thanks I will give you
Good praise I will give you
Songs of the saints I will sing
To show that you are great

Forgive my sins God
That I may receive from you.

It is you who said that you will carry this load for me
It is you who said that you will be mine
I am in your presence
To receive from you

dejiariyo:
i may agree with both of you but can u name any other rapper in nigeria, i mean a nigerian rapper who is as good as modenine lyrically if u say he is well overrated, maybe if u can pick one out of all the nigerian rappers who are better lyrically than modenine then i will totally agree to ur shallow points, thank you and will be waiting for ur response.

well before u reply me, maybe u need to remember that greats hiphop artiste like nas,talib kweli will i am,wyclef,ll cool j ,proverb, wordsmith ,Dj premier from newyork and jay z, have all given props to modenine for his lyrical prowress, may be u both good in understanding what hiphop means than those greats.

pls remember we judging modenine on the scale of nigerian rappers, tell me any other rapper that have international recognition than modenine, pls will be waiting for ur response, thank you all
