@ ocho: Do you mean the "Omoge Mi" -Video or "Senorita"? Or perhaps there is another Video-CD? Well, I watched the CD that I have again. I am hot now....

Well, I'm not that used to speak English, and least of all I don't know pidgin English (is this the right writing?) or even the other languages spoken in Nigeria; except from the words and phrases they taught me when I was in Lagos. So what does "balulad" mean?

ocho:
she'll be bulalad

And is "lawd" a slang writing of "Lord"?

But I have read some words on this website that I don't understand. I don't even know what language or dialect they are.

Well, what is no vex supposed to mean and what language is it?
More words:
nuff
wo me no sabi ----   Is this " I don't know"??
nope
Please help me...

I will add some words when I see more....

@ hot-angel; like4luv; littlebaby..:

Wow, you are too much..!!!!! Respect!! You speak so many languages!! Where did you learn them?

There are German phrases missing...:
Ich liebe dich--- I love you (said to one person)
Ich liebe euch--- I love you (said to more persons)
Wie geht es dir?--- How do you do? How are you? (asked to one person)
Wie geht es euch?--- How do you do? How are you? (asked to more persons)
....

Uahhh.... I am going crazy..... (in a positive way...)

I have just watched the Video-CD: "P-Square: Da videos" ..... My heart beats faster now...

I was in Nigeria from 19th till 29 th November. When I was back in Germany I found this website and started to take part in some conversations.

@ Rolly: I am a German girl..

Well, this list is too long to read it all...... At the beginning there was an alphabetical list, now I don't know if there is a special order.......

hmmm... I am German, so I don't know many Nigerian names, but anyway, I think the boundaries are fluent. I think this game is very interesting for me...

Well, I don't know if this name has already been mentioned:

Oshévire

@ Queenzy: Thanx that you have sent the music files. But unfortunately, I can't open them. I don't know why. I have to ask my brother, he is sort of computer expert. But right now he is sleeping... If he can't help me I will write to you

That means I don't understand anything

Da verstehe ich ja gar nichts...

@ Queenzy: You are so very nice!!! Thank you!!! Well, my adress is red_angel@gmx.de (There has to be an underscore between red and angel!)

Well, whoever will marry the guys, please invite me to the wedding!!! My heart belongs to someone at the moment, otherwise I would also say that I want to marry one of them. But it is very difficult to decide which one.......

@Queenzy: If it is possible, could you send them to me as well?? I don't know if my friend is keeping it in mind to take the music with her for me...

Well, I can't decide this. I love Shakira and Beyoncé. But they are too different. Each of them is good in her own way.....

Well, I really don't want to decide and I am not able to.... I like them both... Their music, their looks, their moves....

I think there needn't be that rivalry....

So do I think! Beyoncé IS Destiny's Child

OK. I misunderstood....

I also like Boys 2 men, R.Kelly, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Destiny's Child, Ciara even if I don't know all of their songs.....

Furthermore I like Usher, Rihanna, Toni Braxton, Aaliyah (GOD BLESS HER!!!), Kelis and many others. But - ok - there are some among them who have been in the business for a short time so far. So I can't call them "Best R&B artistes of ALL TIMES" yet. But I like them very much...

I didn't mean that you were blind...!!! I wrote that you are right, he looks like Usher!! I didn't want to offend you...

Jalal:
@Michaela...man u really had a great time!!!! But thats just a little taste of what to expect in Nigeria!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I think so!!!

Jalal:
@Michaela...So come back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will do so!!!

Jalal:
@Michaela...Ur alwayz welcome!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!

Hi!!!
Unfortunately, I don't know that many Nigerian musicians as I am German. I have only spent 10 days in Nigeria. But I listened to some music and I liked it very much. Well, I don't know the names of many of them. But the ones I remember and liked are: P-Square, Ruggedman, Zule-Zoo and African China. But, to be honest, I don't even know if African China is Nigerian.... Perhaps someone can tell me.....

Well, as I am German, I don't know that many Nigerian musicians. I have read the name "Styl-Plus" several times now on this website, and so I am quite curious what the music is like. I will ask my friend when she will be back in Germany. She probably knows them and perhaps she has a CD.

But anyway, I really like P-Square, no, I LOVE P-Square!!! I even met them in Lagos when I was there...! They are so cute!!!

@ Queenzy: Oh sorry!! How have I hit on it that your birthday was on the 24th December?? Oh, I think I watched your profile, read the date 24 th Dec., but didn't look at the left where stands "local time".  That shows that it is better to look more precisely.. 

Hmm, perhaps you could send me the music files, too?? Otherwise I hope my friend can get me the albums.

@ Hot-Angel: It is not just you who thinks that Peter looks like Usher. Well, as I am German I didn't know P-Square before my visit to Nigeria from 19 th till 29 th November. And when I saw them at my first day in Lagos at a concert - I don't know what location it was, but there were some Nigerian musicians just as Rugged Man... and I think it was shown on TV, but I don't know - well, then I also thought "This guy looks like Usher.." And when I saw a poster of him I really thought it WAS Usher but them I read "P-Square Peter" at the bottom of the picture.....

Well, you want to know something about my visit....
I arrived in Lagos on Saturday, 19 th November at around 8:30 PM, oh my god, my flight was nearly 4 hours in delay... My friend took me from the airport and we went to the concert I have already mentioned. And as you can imagine I was the only white person there. So I attracted a lot of attention... When my friend, her sister and I wanted to go up the stairs in that big house, a camera team stopped us and they wanted me to tell something about me... Unfortunately, I don't know if this was sent on TV. Then we were in the hall where the music was. I really liked the music, I would like to have it all on CD, but I can't remember all the names of the singers. Well, when I hear music like this, I have to dance, I am not able to stand still. We were backstage, when suddenly someone came to me and said something like: "Hey Girl, where do you come from?... Well, I saw you dancing. ... Would you do me a favour?" Me: "Which favour?" He: "I am going to perform in some minutes, would you please come onto the stage then and dance while I m performing??" Well, I had not known him before, but it was Rugged Man!!!!!! Hmm, so I danced on the stage, and the crowd was excited and screaming...! Well, the whole concert was recorded with cameras, I wish so intensively that I could get the video...  And I would like to know if it was shown on TV.
The next evening we were at a party with some people who have something to do with the Nigerian movie industry, for example Jeta Amata, Aquila Njamah... Do you know them? And I met Zule-Zoo there, probably you know them.  After that we went to eat something and to do karaoke. I am crazy for this!!
Well, I haven't done many different things the next days. The problem was that my friend was too busy to show me more of the country. So I always was in Lagos. I spent nearly all the time with the sisters of my friend and some dancers who were practising on a choreography for my friend's movie. As I metioned I like dancing so I came with them to the rehearsal room and took part in some steps of the dance.
On Friday, 25 th Nov., some of the dancing and singing scenes were recorded for the film. I didn't take part in it. So I had nothing to do the whole day...
Saturday was nice. My friend's sister took me to the wedding of her friend. We were late, so I didn't see the real wedding, we came into the church when it was nearly over...  After that they took photos in front of the church. Well, and as always and everywhere during my stay (except from the airport) I was the only white person far and wide. And so many people wanted that someone takes a picture of them and me together..  That was funny... I don't know the bride but I am on these photos now......
You won't believe but on Sunday I was at a discotheque with Rugged Man. I think it was called "You can do it all". Well, I started dancing when we arrived and I stopped when we left. And so many people were impressed. It is not a rumour that most of the Germans can't dance very good, most of the Germans are sort of stiff, the aren't as free in moving their bodies as black people. But there are exceptions. ... Some said to me. "You don't dance like a white woman!!!" I hope they will think of this evening as long as I do...!
Hmm, what did I do on Monday?? Hmmm...  I can't remember. Certainly it was nothing special...
Then the last day...  Well, I packed my cases... Collected the contact details of some of the people... My flight was at 11:40 pm. Before we went to the airport I met Peter and Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They gave me their new album.......
Then we went to the airport, and you can't imagine how much I cried!!!!

Well, to draw a summary of my expressions: Hmm... I have to confess that I was shocked by the streets and the cars in Lagos. This is not a secret. I'm used to other streets, cars.... And the city is so dirty and loud...
But I really want to underline that I am happy to have visited Nigeria. I have made the impression that everyone was so very nice to me, everyone liked me, they were so interested in how I was feeling. I really miss them all!!!! It was a pity that my friend was that busy with her movie and that I just was in Lagos. Before, she said she would show me Abuja and so on ............ Well, now there is definitely a reason to come back when she has time for me!!! I really want to see the people again and more of the country!!! I hope I will come next year.....

I will inform you then!!!

Hope you have a nice christmas!!!

@Ocho: Yes, I really agree with U. He is very cute!!!

@Queenzy: THANK YOU

@ocho: Thanxxx!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Queenzy: HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, on the first photo I'm the girl in the middle. But when you watch the other picture you will know this even if I hadn't mentioned it... ;-)
