Yeah, they are available on Youtube, but her most successful song, titled "omo" (Yoruba word for child) isn't on Youtube.

whirlwind7:
Can you help a brother out, please?
There's this song by Christy Essien Igbokwe, where she was hailing, or talking about Akwa Ibom. I think she sang it in the local language (maybe Ibibio)
I'm also thinking the title of the song could be Akwa Ibom. Can't seem to find it anywhere.

bobntu:
I knew those rules were unenforceable on 'big men'.
This is probably coming up because the said big man belongs to the opposition party.
I vehemently frown at such act but then he who comes to equity must come with clean hands.
We all watched the flagrant abuse of COVID protocols at a big man's burial in Abuja by those who drew up the guidelines.
We siddon dey watch

Yesterday FAAN also condemned the former Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari for violating COVID19 protocols at the Aminu Kano Airport.

Adesegun Musiwa is the Nairaland politics section poster of the year 2009. He is an electricity engineer who graduated from the University of Ilorin. He speaks Batu and a host of other languages.

Adesegun Musiwa is also known as Becomerich 1-100, Eguofor, Complove, Nigeria1, Nigeriaone, Bashali, Tayo4life, Uche 2005, Becomericher, Mapomeji, Are Canada, etc

He works as the chief mapologist at Google. His philosophy is that all Nigeria's problems will be solved if the Western Niger is excised from Nigeria and added to Benin Republic.

He is very influential (more influential than Goodluck Jonathan), knows all the pastors in Nigeria and will win any free and fair presidential election conducted in Nigeria, by virtue of his philosophy as contained in the sacred satellite pictures.

He has been the subject of classic threads on Nairaland such as the threads below.

Synopsis? Too many spoilers on the net.
Thanks darling.

Romangalactic:
Na the same matter we still dey settle bros. Generalizations.

Even Noble Igwe now turning around to say Igbo women are hardworking, people should have asked him if he knows all Igbo women.

Romangalactic:
Yes every Nigerian is hardworking

Romangalactic:
Well many Igbo women like to be trophy wives, everyone knows this.

Using the word lazy is what caused problem but Noble Igwe sha knows that there is truth to what he said even if it was sarcastic response to something else.

naptu2:
Let's see if I can remember what started everything.


Some Igbo men said that they will never allow their mothers to remarry after their fathers die. One of them wrote about the things that he would do to his mother if she dares remarries.


I think Noble Igwe was engaged in a conversation with someone and she said something to the effect that this is what Igbo men do, so he created his own thread about what Igbo women do (in order to highlight the danger of generalisation).

In conclusion, any gender can hold any agenda. While some of our concerns are true, the real change comes from doing and not holding the sins of fathers over all Igbo men. Discuss issues as it relates to particular people, communities, villages and the Igbo land at large.

The Igbo man is flawed, just like every other man but you can’t deny the work that the new generation Igbo man is doing towards changing some of these narratives.''

naptu2:
The point he was trying to make is that negative stereotypes lead to stigmatisation of people, which is why people who tweeted "Men are scum" were offended when he tweeted "Igbo women are lazy".

How do you feel about the stereotype that "Nigerians are fraudsters" and how do you feel if it affects you when you go abroad?

naptu2:
The thread is a response to generalisations like:

All men are scum.

All Fulani are killers

All Nigerians are fraudsters.


Etc.


He is saying that generalisations are bad.

It worked because a lot of the people that always tweet "Men are scum" were offended by his generalisation that "Igbo women are lazy".


(He was responding to another tweet that stereotyped men. The person that made that tweet deleted it after Noble Igwe created his thread).


This is where it all started.

Wow! It's true! He added bottles of Hennesey to their relief package.

Dear Diary, do you know that Dino Melaye has a Kenyan twin? Yes he does. They are not biological twins, but they are twins in every other way imaginable.


A few years ago a Kenyan was complaining about the Kenyan version and a Nigerian said that their case was better because we've got Dino Melaye, but the Kenyan countered that their version was worse than Dino Melaye and eventually, after an exchange of pictures, it was decided that there was no difference between the two.


The mayor of Nairobi, Mike Sonko and former Nigerian senator, Dino Melaye, are both fond of wearing childish attires, making childish displays of wealth and making weird and outrageous statements.

Mike Sonko is in the news today because he has sent relief materials to residents of Nairobi and included in the materials are bottles of alcohol, because he says that people also need "throat sanitizers" along with hand sanitizers.
