The ''Ifa'' in the name of the resort, and the giant statute of a Cobra snake in the premises could discourage many potential visitors from patronizing the place e.g. religious organizations many of whom would be coming from outside Ile-Ife.

They should have thought about that.

Mr Eazi has just started his music career for God's sake.

In any case, the original comment that Mr Eazi made was that current Afro-pop, Afrobeats sounds being played by Nigerian musicians is inspired by what had been created and originated by Ghanaian musicians. In other words, Nigerians are copying or borrowing from the Ghanaians.
This was the original comment which many ignorant Nigerian music fans like the OP did not want to accept or believe. While Mr. Eazi was being trolled on social media by fans who did not know the facts, there was no single Nigerian musician who could come out to deny or contradict his claims! But after some time, other Nigerian musicians e.g. Runtown, Patoranking publicly acknowledged the truth in what Mr Eazi said.
The other comment made by Mr. Eazi was that he was the first Nigerian to latch on the Ghanaian (Alqaeeda) sound rhythm before other Nigerians took a cue from him to do same (that is what Patoranking did not agree with). But they all agree that they are indeed making use of Ghana-inspired beats and rhythms. In fact Mr Eazi indicated that in Dec2016, about 70% of Nigerian musicians making waves were in Ghana for one collaboration, studio session, etc with Nigerian musicians and music producers.
In fact, many Nigerian musicians have used Ghana-styled beats to produce hit songs ....Patoranking, Wande Coal, Timaya, Reekado Banks, Mayorkun, Mr Eazi, Kiss Daniel, DBanj, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Runtown, Tuface, Psquare, Marvins etc .
A similar happened a few years earlier when the Azonto beats and dance step came out

harbdulrasaq88:
According to him, his father was initially not in support of his decision to do music and even went ahead to arrest him when he returned to Nigerian to pursue his dreams For a star like Davido who obviously came from a wealthy home, one would think he never had to struggle for anything.

Well it appears that the Fia crooner didn't exactly have it easy especially when he gave up everything to delve into music. According to Atlanta born Nigerian singer, his father was not impressed when he left the US where he was studying Engineering to return to Lagos to pursue his music career. He said: "My dad didn’t like me doing music!” laughs D “If he saw my face on a billboard, he’d arrest everybody at that show! But when I made the song ‘Dami Duro’ [2011], it became the biggest track in Africa; it’s saying: ‘I’m the son of a rich man, you can’t stop me, and people love me.’ It now feels good for dad to see that music can take me this far.”


When asked about the awakening the western mainstream has experienced seeing that Afrobeat has inspired a lot of international artistes, Davido who has over 4 million followers online sited social media as the main reason.

According to him, "It’s the internet and social media,” replies Davido, with the assurance of someone who has Nigeria’s biggest Instagram account (5.5m followers). “I’m telling you, Nigerian people have a supportive force, and an amazing energy. Beyoncé and Kanye felt it on their visits, but Nigeria has always been very big on entertainment; when I was little, a big artist would come over to play every Christmas. Now the music industry in Nigeria is like a government ministry; it’s worth billions. There are so many artists in Nigeria that you might not have heard of, but trust me, they’re doing well."

Speaking on the type of music and what inspires his sound, he said“In Nigeria, we all mix sounds together and collaborate; it’s natural,” He described his type of songs as “afrofusion”, with elements including hip-hop, Ghanaian high life, South African kwaito, and R&B. “It’s been generalised as afrobeats, but I have songs that sound like afropop, afrotrap." he said.

Confirmed!
Davido and most of his Nigerian colleagues, are playing the genre /sound inspired and originated from Ghana!

TribesNG:
Your man of God does not have any relationship with his fellow Nigerian pastors

What relationship did Jesus have with Pharisees who were his ''people"?

TribesNG:
So what will you say about the fake prophesy?

TB Joshua had made hundreds of accurate prophecies which came to pass.

I can see that you are not concerned about the credibility (or lack of it) of your RCCG pastor, but how to denigrate TB Joshua.

Even if TB Joshua gives 100 inaccurate prophecies, he is still far better and more credible than your RCCG and PFN (Pharisees Fellowship of Nigeria) pastors combined together!

Nonsense!

Can it go for 800?
Please upload more pictures of the engine, front, sides and the interior

Nonsense.
A useless and clueless minister. An extortionist. Coming to extort more for his cronies and family.
That is all he knows how to do....using every little opportunity to extort money from poor citizens.
This is the man that turned waste collection into money extortion scam in Lagos. Same scam going on at the Lekki Tollgate.
Now as minister for Power he has increased electricity tariffs more than twice and now he is going to extort more money from people using tolls on federal roads.

Only in a silly country like Nigeria would someone like this be eulogized or praised! Mediocrity!

Khd95:
then Ghana still dey learn

Where do you think your so called ''super stars'' Davido, Wizkid, Tiwa, Timaya, Flavour, PSquare, Tuface, Tekno, Olamide, Patoranking, MrEazi, Reekado, Kiss Daniel, Yemi Alade, Iyanya, etc. are stealing and copying their beats and rhythms from? It is Ghana and that is well acknowledged and beyond doubt or argument
If you don't know, the Nigerian music industry today would be empty without the influence of the Ghana-originated style of sound that Nigerians are playing now. Today, Nigerian musicians are copying the way Ghanaians sing and rap!
The only difference is that Ghanaians sing mostly in their local dialects while Nigerians sing mostly in English and pidgin, so our music travels farther than theirs, but they own the originality and creativity. We copy from them. And that has been happening for more than many years before independence. Even Fela went and stayed in Ghana in the 1960s to learn Afrobeat.
So Nigeria is the one learning

Movic1:
Lol! Even their Governor don join? E don win now, Na to dey talk rubbish remain!
Mr Governor Pls tell the Anambrarians to come and make Anambra state the way they made Lagos what it is today!




See mumu talk that is coming out from a governor?

Others don't pay tax Abi? Or are you telling us that it's all those 2x2 shop taxes is what lagos is using to sustain and maintain the state?


Do you know the number of multinational companies in Lagos? Do you know the millions they pay as tax? The amount 1 of those companies pay as tax will dwarf what all Igbos not just Anambrarians are paying as tax.



Oga o! The way these guys chest beat eh beats my imagination

That is the ignorance, arrogance and foolish talk by someone who has just been elected as Governor or leader. You can imagine why the ordinary men say equally foolish things.
They have exported this kind if stupid talk and attitude to other countries. This and other similar disgusting attitude and criminal behavioural tendencies are some reasons why many more countries now hate the Nigerians living their country.

This is the shamelessness that virtually characterizes the attitude and behavior of Nigerians! Imagine! I have never heard of fans of African artistes from the same country engaging in street fight in another country. Lawlessness!

What are they even fighting for! Clueless musician who lack originality......virtually all their hit tracks are songs with rhythms/beats copied/stolen from Ghana.
Two copy cats fighting!

''silent'' achiever?
That man is not ''silent'' in any way!

nairavsdollars:
Copy copy

Don't mind Nigerian musicians. None of them has any original beat or style to offer apart from copying the latest beat from Ghana.
It seems they cannot make any hit song without the Ghana beat.....all the so called Afropop, Afrobeats musicians ....Runtown, PSquare, Davido, Wizkid, Tiwa, Tekno, Lil Kesh, Kiss Daniel, Reekado, Timaya, Banky, Tuface, Flavour, Phyn, Yemi Alade, D Banj, W. Coal, Mavis, Mayorkun etc. etc.

Codes151:
i have lived a long time in Ghana.. more than 5years! The steady light they have is powered by okosombo dam(that’s if I got the spelling) till after the overload and stuff the had to bring inadditional support from Swiss and all this for Accra n Kumasi... yea yea yea!!

Truth is, all this can’t even power Lagos, talk more of nigeria!! If nigeria was as small as gh!! This little one we have will power everywhere and change will remain!


Another truth is, even in the next 5years, we won’t have constant light.. sorry

It is not true that only Accra and Kumasi have light. Almost 90% of the whole Ghana have access to constant electricity. Their electricity penetration is second only to South Africa in the whole of Africa

I doubt if you really know the situation with electricity in Ghana. Akosombo Dam used to be the main source of supply to the whole country. The initial installed capacity was about 2,000 MW.
But Akosombo is no more their main source of power because the water level has dropped since Burkina Faso started damming it to generate electricity. Presently, Ghana relies more on power plants that are powered with gas and diesel to generate electricity e.g. the power plants at Tema, Aboadze etc.
Ghana did not go to Swiss for help. They brought in Karpower power barges(ships) from Turkey to complement what they have locally.
Their current installed capacity is about 4000MW. There is work going on for another 1,000MW power plant right now.

Nigeria is still struggling between 3000MW and 5000MW for almost 20 years now.

Divide the MW by the population of each country.....you would realize that Ghana is far ahead of Nigeria.
Ghanaians have some minimal standards that they have set for themselves and their governments dare not toy with them. Electricity is one of them. No party can rule Ghana if you cannot guarantee constant electricity 24/7. The power crisis that they had between 2013-2015 contributed to the defeat of the former government. In Nigeria, we have no standards, so any idiot can rule us at anytime and nothing changes!

PHILipu1:
Quality as in how?
Take it or leave it.
What Lagos consume in a day in terms of electricity is enough to power the whole of Ghana for a day.

Okay. Tell me what Lagos ''consumes'' in a day!
Tell me how Lagos ''consumes'' the electricity that it does not have!

A few days ago, Nigeria Police was rated the worst in Africa. And now, two of the ''best'' airports in Nigeria are now rated amongst the 5 worst in the world.
And still, some fools have given their brain and IQ away, following the senseless bandwagon that ''Nigeria is the giant of Africa; Nigerians are happiest people in the world. etc''. The people must really be mad to be 'happiest'' in this shit of a nation

smartmey61:
no its u who need history Oya sit down LA LA bring pop corn, HIS 401 on the beat. Yoruba people in ghana have celebrated 200 years here in ghana, my LL was just speakiing about those ones who came around 1960 before dem first do naija must go wey we counter in Shagari era, and forget the 2 must go must go thing there is tribe in Accra ghana that are from Ile Ife Oduduwa descendant, they wont stop saying it every year independent day. they are GAAs. they are very hard working and beautiful like Yoruba. mainly in Accra.

Ok. You should have explained that part clearly so that people would know that Ghanaians had been living harmoniously with Nigerians in their country and don't necessarily hate Nigerians, but they dislike the attitude and criminal tendencies of the new set of Nigerians that are now flocking into their country in recent times.

The people that originated from Ile-Ife are called Ga (not Gaa). They live mostly around the southern parts of Ghana, stretching from Accra to La (formerly Labadi), Labone, Teshie-Nungua and to other parts of Eastern Region, including the Ga- Adangbe clan.

Saintp:
My friend our population should be an advantage not the other way round. Do you think the Americans, Canadians, Australians etc are stupid to give outsiders their passport to become their citizen? Is Brazil, China, Indonesia etc not more populated than Nigeria?

Bros, from management perspective, there is no excuse for failure and Nigeria has failed her citizens woefully. I read some comments here with heavy heart seeing how ordinary common Ghana is being hyped because of simple basic infrastructures that is rocket science for Nigeria.

Nigeria seem to have sworn to remain at the bottom ladder of basic development from all indices. Now it looks like almost every country maybe except the war torn ones are better than Nigeria.
Nigerian leaders from independence till date will all rot in hell. Foolish people.

God bless you. This is the kind of comment that shows deep thoughts and a mind that sees the bigger picture.
They way some Nigerians talk about population just convinces me that ignorance is holding people captive.
You made my day with your though provoking comments.

PHILipu1:
You miss the point.
It is easy to use i pass my neighbour generator to supply light to one single room than to use it to supply light to 3 bedroom flat.
Nigeria is far bigger than Ghana and things that easily work in Ghana will not work here.
Only Lagos consume the total electricity that the whole Ghana use.

Keep deceiving yourself. Who told you that Lagos consumes the total electricity that the whole of Ghana uses?
Ghana today has installed capacity of close to 4000MW and Nigeria is struggling with 5000MW. Comparatively, Ghana is far ahead of Nigeria.
It is not about size or quantity. It is the quality that matters!

EMEKA1MILLION:
population of Ghana 28million, population of Lagos 21 million...

Our problem is bigger

Who told you that Lagos is 21million? It is all exaggerated estimates. The last census put Lagos and Kano at 8million plus

smartmey61:
no lie bro if u enter u go se your self people believe Accra is life and all, shit, come Tadi they call us Alata, my land lady told me ata is pepper thats yoruba and the first people to come here na yorubas in 60s they love eating people so they call them alata, the pepper eater.

My brother, your land lady should go learn the history better.
The Yoruba people (especially from Osun, Oyo, Kwara and Ogun) had been in all regions, villages, towns and cities of Ghana for more than 150 years!

saintkeppy:
. Dem dey beef cos We dey oppress them na
Same beef S.A have for us.
We too dey show ourselves.

But hate it or love it, never a dull moment when you have Nigerian folks around in a foreignLand, they are prepared to light up everywhere with fun, etc.

They dislike the disgusting attitude and behavior and criminal tendencies of Nigerians!
Oppress who? Are you also ''oppressing'' Malaysians, Indians, Singaporeans etc in their country? Nonsense!

kingeddyx:
Some one is currently in Ghana giving updates about his experience with electricity and you are somewhere countering that first hand information with information you have about a power crisis(drumsor)which was solved about a year ago.

Don't mind the rumour monger.
Their power crisis lasted about two and half years and it was resolved in December 2015, almost 2 years ago.

Nature129:
I always say it and will continue saying it, "Nothing strengthens the faith of many Christians, myself inclusive, as testimonies."

People's testimonies literally tell me that those "beautiful stories" I read in the Bible aren't fictions.

May God be forever praised for Him alone deserves our praises.

Congrats, sir! Your story will be a source of inspiration to millions of people that will read it. And I pray it becomes a point of contact for their miracles! Amen!

Thank you my brother...
Strange enough, we have some so-called churches / pastors that would condemn miracles. Some even went as far as colluding with Obasanjo's govt. to ban the showing of miracles on television, all because they hate a particular pastor. They forget that everything about God is a miracle!. Salvation itself is a miracle!

These are the same people that would hate and say things against TB Joshua and SCOAN.
Even members of Synagogue Church do not worship the seat of Prophet TB Joshua.

chineduemmao:
transperancy in publicity i get it already. wat tb is doing has notin to do wit giving glory to God rather glory to joshua

That your beef!
It is still you mischief makers and unbelieving people that would say that he bribes people to pretend for deliverance if things were done behind close doors. Now that things are done transparently, you still complain.

Jesus did many miracles in the open! The Pharisees were angry and even told Him not to heal people on the Sabbath day.

chineduemmao:
so its all about puplicity?

It is not about publicity. It is all about TRANSPARENCY!
People are prayed for in the open and all glory is given unto God Almighty.
The world need to see the love, power and faithfulness of God before the world would believe or change from its wicked ways.
It is mischief makers and unbelievers that term it ''publicity''.

I sympathize with Jim Iyke on the challenges he has been through. May God be with him and family.

But I thank God that the deliverance happened in the open church, and not in a private room! You can imagine how things could have been twisted against TB Joshua.
The man of God has learnt from bitter experiences in the past. Kanu Nwanko visited him privately when he (Kanu) was having heart problems (before going for the operation) but he later denied ever visiting the church or meeting TB Joshua in his life!. So you could imagine what people can say or do if Jim Iyke's request that the family be attended to in private had been granted and things turned out somehow.

I wonder why he wanted to be attended to in private. After all, he saw other people's testimonies on live TV.
If you want to go to SCOAN, go. If not, stay at home and pray along with the man of God, if you believe.

For those who claimed that Jim Iyke was bribed to pretend, you can now see clearly from his statements that the deliverance was never stage- managed. TB Joshua insisted he attended the church service so that satan could be exposed and disgraced, to the glory of Lord Jesus Christ!
Jim Iyke should not feel embarrassed.....the battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of darkness.

I will also advise him to be wary of who he speaks to and what he says. The media and the paparazzi of show business cannot save him. He should be grateful he is lucky to have had that encounter and learn from it before it is too late. Some never had such opportunity and were destroyed and killed in their prime. He should be grateful to God for His mercy and revelation!

May his mother's soul rest in peace

junketer:
Well i don't know about other african countries but in south africa right now dem no dey use davido's IF and FALL joke o. P square will always be PSquare, south africans love them. Runtown's mad over you and for life also get air plays a lot. They also like tekno and patoranking. To be honest, wizkid is not really that popular with south africans. I mean they know him but they're not really into his music. Right now, davido is SA's nigerian number one artiste because of Aye, skelewu, the sound, IF and FALL.

You can now see what Mr Eazi said about the influence of Ghana-styled sound on Nigerian music! All the Nigerian artistes that you listed (Runtown, Tekno, Davido, Patoranking etc) are only making waves with the new highlife and ''Alqaeda'' beats and rhythm which they borrowed/stole from Ghana.
Many of these guys rely heavily of these new styles from Ghana to make waves and fame, but Nigerians don't want the truth.
The truth hurts!

Some responses on this forum are not considering some underlying factors!
What year did the guy receive $6,000 per month and what was the exchange rate? Probably it was when the exchange rate was around N200/$. and that would make it N1.2m per month, which to me, could be realistic.
The problem is the huge depreciation in the value of the Naira....that is what makes N2m to sound too much and unrealistic but it is not impossible.

ykalhaji:
LOL @ folks... Mr Eazi is the hottest West African artist after Wizkid, Davido & Teckno in the world, some would even argue that he is more sort after than Teckno at this moment, Nigerian folks that don't buy itunes are talking Runtown, LMAO. Runtown is hot but on the international stage Runtown na small market. Why do you guys think the Otedola girl is famzing the guy Because all her other billionaire friends and all the girl's her age outside Nigeria are on the Mr Eazi's junk. Maybe in Nigeria Runtown might be bigger than Mr Eazi but in London, New York, Houston, Dallas, Toronto, Accra, Lekki Runtown is not on Mr Eazi's level.

Lastly to some that don't know, Mr Eazi is a Nigerian, he just went to Uni in Ghana an as a "Soji" Naija boy, he colonize the area completely.

Who told you that Mr Eazi colonize anywhere in Ghana? He is only saying how he has benefitted from going to Ghana to study and also to do music. The guy himself has been humble and truthful to say the truth: that Ghana-originated sounds is what most contemporary Nigerian musicians are playing in the last 5-6 years, especially after the emergence of the Azonto and fast tempo highlife beats. The current sound (being referred to now) is called ''Alqaeeda'' and it has its dance steps as well.
As usual, Nigerians would have hijacked the style and claim to be original owners if Mr Eazi had not been candid and bold to say that the style is originally from Ghana and Nigerian musicians are only copying and using it. The list of Nigerian musicians who have shot to fame because of this super beat is endless...Runtown, PSquare, Timaya, Dbanj, Tekno, Mr Eazi, Davido, Reekado Banks, Flavour, etc.

What is happening now is similar to what happened in the 1950-early 1907s when Ghana music dominated the airwaves and Nigerians (including Fela) had to travel to Ghana to learn highlife and Afrobeat (but today, as usual, the story is being changed to say that Fela created Afrobeat)
Nigeria is only taking advantage of our population, In terms of originality and creativity in music, Ghana is far ahead of Nigeria!

shadrach77:
Davido...King of Afro hip-hop!

Afro hip-hop ke?
That beat/rhythm is copied/borrowed from Ghana. That is the beat virtually all Nigerian musicans....Tecno. Runtown, Timaya, Mr Eazi, Davdo, P.Saquare, DBanj, Kiss Daniel, etc etc are playing.
