I wanted to argue with you but after reading the bold part of your write up, I just laughed!

Oh! because I spelt some words wrongly? Nice you're not arguing, end of discussion!

abbey621:
Sounds to me like a business in deep waters. If a song is hot in the market, it is the job of entertainment stations such as Soundcity to give the fans what they want, how can you say you are doing Psquare a favor by playing their songs. Can MTV do Beyoncé a favor by playing her videos? Soundcity would be nowhere if they refused to play the major artiste, this is where the mutual benefits comes into play. Would Kanye West perform at an MTV concert without adequate compensation? Would Justin Timberlake perform at the SuperBowl without being paid adequately? I don't know why everything must be upside down in Nigeria!

And Psquare are the only major artistes in Nigeria? Soundcity have done the right thing, the guys obviously don't value their input, why should they continue to air them? it's their tv and they can do what they like just as psquare as shown they can do.

You talk about international artistes, different places have different cultures, do you know what it takes into the promotion of these artistes before they become starts, but in Nigeria radio and tv shows promotes them free most times, it's a mutual relationship, but if you finally 'blow' as they say, then you acted as psquare did, it's what they call UNGRATEFUL.

Yolobas won't like dis.

Why the only lenses some people use in seeing everything in life is tribal behooves me, it's nice what he's doing but the origin of the whole idea still comes from Fela, a Yoruba man - the day we stop competing and start cooperating, we would finally move forward as a nation.

I came across this from a very Concerned Nigerian Let's make this a public outcry, and stop this unfunny DISCO music.

This DISCO companies are DEFRAUDING us with this, they hide behind the

estimated bill to bring very unbearable and unimaginable monthly charges,

where I live in Fagba, we have a storey building and a boys quarter, the

story building has two flats at the upstairs and we have five self-

contained down-stairs, the two separate flats upstairs have two separate

meters and all the mini-flats down-stairs have One single meter, all these

meters are working very well, so they have no problem, each of these three

meters comes with a bill of N1000 to N1500 per month. But at the boys

quarter where I reside, there are two self-contained and our meter is not

working so they give us estimated bills, could you believe that they bring

as much as N13,000, N14,000 for our own small place alone, we don't even

have appliances, I am still a single man, so my major electric appliance

is still my Laptop and Fan, the other man uses Fridge, Tv and that's all.

We pay in a SINGLE MONTH more what all the other mini flats pay in a YEAR,

and anytime we find it hard to meet up with the exorbitant fee, they come

and cut the light, we clear the bills and pay re-connection fees to be

able to restore it, this has been going on for maybe two years now.

PLEASE I BEG YOU IN THE NAME OF GOD, HELP US, because it's affecting only

a few people, it has not become a social cry, they just do this

underground, we have sought for solutions to no avail, we've requested for

a good meter, they will say it is not available, we've seen all the people

we can possible seen, we've bribed, and all kinds, NO SOLUTION, we, at a

time said that they should close our account, it will be better for us to

be using our money for generator and fuel, but they say once NEPA account

is open, you cannot close. The most painful part is that OUR POWER IS VERY

POOR, even in this Era, of change, the supply is still very epileptic, we

need this to STOP, PLEASE HELP ALL NIGERIANS GOING THROUGH THIS. My Own

distribution company is IKEDC, Ikeja Electricity Distribution company.


Let me also say this, they brought down the fee a bit during election to

about N7,000, one month after PMB's swearing in, they did the same, but it

seems they discovered the eye of the government is not on them, they

started unleashing their Outrageous fees again from July.

ayinba1:
Truly, uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. We are a very backward thinking people if the most recent uproar is anything to go by.

I did not support GEJ as a candidate but I hoped and prayed that he would succeed once he became president.

Until this recent scream about PMB appointing northerners, I had no idea that GEJ did similar. All I know is that most of his appointees were totally incompetent.

People should evaluate appointees based on qualifications and performance, NOT their tribe.

I fully support PMB and I am confident that even if one of these appointees underperform, he will not hesitate to give them the axe.
I did not vote him because he is a northerner, I voted him because he was the best candidate presented.
Thanks for purifying your minds

You're very correct - Our thinking is not advanced yet, that is why PMB must tread with care, Your point is nice and it's should be the ideal for any society 'MERIT', but we are not there yet, a leader should know that and give it it's place if he wants to succeed. Nigeria is still a disunited nation, we all belong here but we're not together, we're very sensitive, everyone feels marginalized in one way or the other, one of the major failures of GEJ is this very issue that's causing uproar, PMB must carry everybody along including even the Igbos whom he feels didn't vote for him. He couldn't attain presidency for long because people see him as a regional leader, he's already towing that part again.

It defies every argument that you could not find any credible person in the whole Igbo land, no matter how you want to explain merit, how can you not find credible people in other regions, are they all in your region alone? These are the simple things that you can take care of and you retain people's backing - when Nigerians are for you, they make excuse for you even when you're failing in some things, when they're against you, no matter how much you try, it is over for you. That was exactly the path that Jonathan towed, he came in with a lot of goodwill but he took the people for granted, PMB be warned!

sammyj:
My question to all PMB's critics is if any regional appointments has resulted to regional or national developments. likewise if GEJ's regional appointments brought about any developments to the appointees region.

What has that got to do with the fact that someone was voted for nationally but all the credible people he can find nationwide are from his own small region?

BANGERLEE1:
So what of those upcoming ones sending msg to those artiste on social media but gonna take forever b4 they reply* SMH* and some won't reply.




Reekado is just lucky! Our artiste here in 9ja feel important on social media*

Put yourself in their shoes, if about 300, 000 people are following you, how many requests will you be getting per day, how many can you respond to?

The key is to have something very, very special to showcase and to keep promoting it everyday, never relent and never give up. You don't even need to pester the established stars, one of them will discover you one day as your works spread.

crazygod:
Guess that's what's killing the youths of this country. The Op definitely has a lazy mentality. So u think the points you brought up are enough to tell someone not to work in a private school? Oya go look for job in public school na if them go employ u.
Based on experience, working in a private school hands u a flexible time where u can still do ur own stuffs.
U can work part-time in different schools and still earn what all those banks dey pay their employees if u add up all incomes earned (if u're looking at it from a financial point of view)... But truth be told, the main reason why you (op) brought up this reasons is because u aint an educationist. Try setting up ur own private schools and come back here to tell me how easy it is to run it.

It's not True, everything the Op said is correct, I'm talking from experience, I couldn't have time for myself and for my personal runs (which was my idea before i got the Job), I spent the money I made on Transport and clothes(trying to look good), I resigned within just a year. There are some exceptions thou, some schools have better standards, reward their teachers well and don't load them with too much works, but they are few.

On the contrary, it is actually public schools that gives you much time for other things, the demand is less and less pressure.Considering the situation in the country, I would advise you take this job if you had no better alternative, but if you're a man(bread winner) and you have a future ambition, DON'T STAY THERE FOR LONG.

Bovi can not win this war, it's very stupid of him to reply the fan, nobody knows the fan but everybody knows him - These guys just call themselves celebrities, they don't know the required ethics that goes with it - You they chop the money but you no want the pain.

macof:
Well Adeboye has taken advantage of the gullibility of Nigerians.

This people who are willing to give him all their fortune have members of their family suffering, they see helpless children... but whatever daddy GO wants daddy GO gets
Not to mention the compulsory Tithes and Seeds every Sunday

Church business is good business and the amazing thing is the government doesn't tax this business...no wonder we have churches in every street

At least this helps reduce the level of unemployment in the country

If the thing pain you go start your own church na?

I discovered that it is people who never add kobo to offerings and tithes that complain the most, abeg leave us with our gullibility and our God jare - Is it your money?

Okijajuju1:
We know..


Bill Gates is a Business man that makes money from inventing things that go on to change the world and make meaning impact in people's lives and businesses and his Profit are subject to heavy taxation and other liability insurances and employee benefits.


Adeboyes money is gotten from telling People the same old story every Sunday about a place he has never been to called Heaven and by by telling them to give him a compulsory 10% of their earnings as he is running a collection agency on behalf of God whilst still taking a supposedly voluntary offering amongst many other forms of extortion like building offering, pledges, seed faith, e.t.c. His workers don't get paid as such like the Ushers, choristers, church workers etcetera.. His earnings don't get taxed nor levied by the government either.e holds no insurances for his employees nor his building. He makes money from preying on the spiritual weaknesses and vulnerability of Africans and co..


So yeah.. Adeboye may just be richer than Bill.

The most import product ( or call it service) on earth is the Salvation of souls and the most important entities on earth are people, not things, Adeboye is richer and greater than bill gate because he's devoted himself to the highest calling on earth.

But really, I Don't expect you to understand, spiritual things can't be grasp by canal minds, DEEP CALLS TO DEEP => For your information, nobody is forced to give tithe, so it's not compulsory.

I will not absorb Obansanjo of the successors he chose for Nigeria, they were bound to fail, the 1st was too weak PHYSICALLY to last as a president while the 2nd was too weak MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY and in CHARACTER to last for a year as president, but he ended up spending almost 6 yrs there and derailed the whole system, if Obasanjo wants to choose the minority, he should have chosen a better prepared person not an accidental president.

What I loved the most about the Obasanjo Era were the MINISTERS they were all competent - Frank Nweke Junior, Elf Rufai, Ribadu, Oby Ekwesili, Ngozi Iweala, Soludo and Others, and then, he was also in charge, no one was bigger than him, they couldn't build on it because OBJ himself derailed everything by choosing leaders that won't continue the vision, that's what makes Tinumbu better than him. I don't accept the claim that we voted for them either, we can only vote from the options the major political leader/incumbent president has chosen.

EroticAngelina:
This old fart should jx fvcking shut up!! He makes my blood boil

He talks too much and causes trouble where ever he goes. jeez

How is he supposed to ShutUp when he's being Interviewed? why is your blood boiling, you better cool your temper, no die 4 OBJ matter oh! the Baba wey go soon kpai

donholy28:
When will OBJ get enough sense to close his stinking old mouth....he's d father of all political thieves

Your Prove Sir.

Obasanjo just dey give people headache, I wonder how many people just wish this man to kick GP TANK

Anyways, I will not absorb Obansanjo of the successors he chose for Nigeria, they were bound to fail, the 1st was too weak PHYSICALLY to last as a president while the 2nd was too weak MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY and in CHARACTER to last for a year as president, but he ended up spending almost 6 yrs there and derailed the whole system, if Obasanjo wants to choose the minority, he should have chosen a better prepared person not an accidental president.

I belong to the category 3, I believe in Baba, but I'm not a blind follower, I'm very expectant, I'm very patient, I believe he'll get it right but if he doesn't, God help us.

We voted for Uncle Jona in 2011, but he got there and started messing up, and everytime we raise salient issues, he says we are oppositions, everyone who had a different view were oppositions including even the US, I pray Buhari will not toe that path.

deadZONE:
As his boss enter office him see money do wedding...

later they would say BUHARI is not corrupt?

By the way this is the paparazzi guy that takes

KIM KARDA-BUHARI's pictures?

Stupids Comments on Nairaland everyday, Is he doing Charity? Or is he getting Money for Free or stealing it? So if he gets paid for service rendered that is equal to corruption, people should stop thinking with their.... finish it yourself.

I don't think this is Nigeria, but If it is, something must be done about it ASAP, it is unacceptable, we're still a country governed by laws and not in the Jungle...If this actually happen in Naija, people should not just talk about it, the soldiers must be punished.

specco:
Majority of Nigeran voters earnestly wish they could turn back the hand of time to pre March 28 but its too late. The damage is already done until another opportunty in 2019. Once bitten twice shy.

What's the Alternative then, GEJ? mba, no regrets, this APC might not be giving us the best presently, but was great we finally got rid of "stealing is not corruption" a lot of leakages have stopped, Impunity is no more the order of the day, the agencies are getting active again, even PHCN is performing better now - If APC gets their acts together, we would begin to see better results, if not we would send them packing come 2019, but FORWARD EVER, BACKWARD NEVER.

Datruggedman:
and u tink DAT u are civilized ?

I need to left you be, Sorry If say anything you don't like.

[quote author=Datruggedman post=35695222][/quote] All this children just makes me laugh, can't you make your points without insulting? What I said was my point of view, you can make yours without resulting to insults, that's the way civilized people behave.

Raylight2:
no one is talking about her being missing. na beauty una see.

she's beautiful though.

I can marry ha

Who says she's missing, the Op said one of her legs is missing, abi I can't comprehend again ni?

neoapocalypse:
Okay I dare him , if na to cure person with "Aids" we don hear am , cure liver disease we go hear am , save someone from a gruesome accident we go hear am but we have never seen him ( or is it her ) grow limbs back. Maybe some miracles are beyond him

There is nothing God Can not do - If He gave you Life and All of your body parts, Is it Leg He can Restore? It's like saying that the Car manufacturer cannot replace a particular part of the car.

However, God can do all thing but He won't do all things, what He does are based on the PRINCIPLES of His word, He is bound by His word ; If this lady wants her legs back it is BASED on her FAITH in God to restore it -Jesus opened the eye of someone who was born blind, what can He not do?

Forzap:
Dey dier

wicked!

Sorry if this sound unpatriotic, most things Nigerian have the Nigerian factor, have the Nigerian headache, inconsistency and problems, you should've bought your reseller package abroad (USA or Europe), it will be CHEAPER and BETTER - but now I guess your only option is to start all over

ADENIKETINA2015:
Glad we still got some bold ones amongst them that will take their stand regardless of the outcome- take the case of the Clerk that resigned some days ago, the couple that refused to bake a wedding cake for same sex couple & even had their business shut down as a result of their refusal.
I expected a straight & concise answer from him not diplomacy- When it comes to God, it's either a Yes or No...there's no two ways about it. Why use the gas as an illustration when you can't give a definite Yes or No
There's STILL Hope by His Grace because "if all pastors decide today not to give a direct answer on the issue to avoid criticisms... my Daddy in the Lord won't"
Beloved take your stand now for the end is nearer than we think... No reason justifies Homosexuality
It is against Nature
It is against Man
It is against God... and who shall deliver thee from the Hands of the Almighty God
Your answer is as good as mine...NO ONE

I Love the way he responded, I don;t think he's trying to appeal to them by not answering directly but rather he is trying to make them think of how foolish Homosexuality is, I'll choose that over just saying Yes or No, even Jesus did not answer every questions in a Yes or No format, does it mean he was using diplomacy? No he answered based on the kind of people asking him questions (the pharisees) -> wisdom is profitable to direct.

jascon1:
Gone r those days when men at the fore front would bodly air their views without mixing it with saliva. Go straight n condemn what is evil. Tell them homosexuality is sinful and evil, period

The way he put it is the Best possible way anybody can, the people asking can already know his stand, it's boring to just say 'It's wrong', with the logic he added to it, anybody with half brain knows how abnormal/senseless homosexuality is.

eluquenson:
The cartoon is funny, but i won't stand to criticise the man.
People we need to transform this country cut beyond tribe nor ethnicity, we want good hands & if the northerners are ready to work effectively, i don't see why people should start ranting moreover, they are still lots of post to hold in the cabinet.

So when should they RANT? If you made eleven appointments and ten of them are from the North, do we still need to wait for the rest to know the Direction you're going? He need to prove himself Nigerian president not the president of his region @ least he said he is for everybody.

This is actually the proper time to say END-TIME-THINGS!

xeeco:
You are stupidly clueless. The criticism is not about using the real thing in the video but the intent behind the video. What is Davido promoting? What message is he passing across? Especially now that Nigeria is waging war against drug trafficking an d grappling with Nigerian jailed for drug related cases all over the world. Statistics had it now that Nigerians are the most populous in world prison for drug related cases. Davido doesn't think, talent without brains is a disaster...

So what is the Jail term for 'INTENT'? If they are judging intent, then Davido should not be the first, they should go to nolllywood and other music videos, dem go see tire, while i'm not in support of whatever Davido was portraying, it is not NDLEA's job to judge INTENT, it's NBC's job and the worst they can do is BAN the video at least on the Naija TV.

How's a music video Ndlea's responsibility? they wan investigate the drug he they showcase? then they need to investigate all nollywood movies that portrayed drugs too, if they're talking about the indecency and bad influence, it's not their responsibility, it's NBC's job.
