I did not cry when my cousin and aunt died, will I now cry when a woman who doesn't know I exist dies?

I get your point though
1) Grief hits people in different ways. It doesn't have to be the same for everyone.

2) Each instance is unique. It doesn't have to be the same every time. Eg, someone very close to me died and I didn't shed a tear. People were shocked, but it was simply because the man joked a lot and I couldn't cry because I was remembering all the jokes he told. However, someone who was not that close to me died and I cried.

3) It's not a competition. I don't believe in competing over who cried more or who cried less, or when did you cry more/less.

Dave Lee Travis (DLT-A Jolly Good Show on the BBC) joked that Elton John was backstage and he didn't like what George Michael was doing to his song, so he came on stage to take over. (This song was originally done by Elton John in the 1970s).

This version was recorded at a concert in South Africa in 1991.

Beautiful ballad. cry

I'm never gonna dance again.
Guilty feeling's got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to forgive,
I know you're not a fool

Wake me up, before you go go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yoyo
Wake me up, before you go go
Cos I don't wanna miss that high.
Wake me up, before you go go
Take me dancing tonight.


This was one of those Radio Nigeria 2 Saturday morning songs.

One of the best rock n roll songs. At a point in time, this and Labamba were my favourite rock songs. I used to play that riff on the guitar. The song also has one of the most unique beginnings (the organ music).

This was the song that introduced me to George Michael the solo artiste (I already knew him from WHAM and Wake Me Up).



George Michael - Faith (1987)

Lasepa has taken action against lots of churches, mosques, music stores, hotels and factories that have been engaged in noise pollution and there are many nairaland threads about those incidents, so I'll encourage you to complain, because the system works.

Phones › We Did Not Sack Oyagbola And We Paid No Bribe - MTN. by naptu2(op): 12:10am On Dec 24, 2016
MTN: We did not sack Oyagbola — and we paid no bribe.

https://www.thecable.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/oyagbola-amina-653x365.jpg

MTN Nigeria has denied reports that it sacked Amina Oyagbola, the human resources and corporate service executive, for her role in the alleged bribing of Nigerian authorities to reduce its fine.

The telecom giant, in a statement released on Friday, said Oyagbola made the “voluntary decision to resign after serving MTN for 12 years as the longest serving director”.

The company denied once again allegations that it paid bribe to have the fine slashed from N1.04 trillion to N330 billion.

THE FULL STATEMENT

Our attention has been drawn to a report published on December 23, 2016 by an online website – about our retiring Human Resources and Corporate Service Executive, Amina Oyagbola.

To be clear, we state without equivocation that the story is untrue, malicious, defamatory, with the goal of damaging our hard-earned reputation, as well as that of our highly respected executive, Amina Oyagbola, who has served our company for 12 meritorious years.

To address the issues raised in the article:

- As we have stated at various times in the past, we categorically deny the accusation that MTN (or its employees) offered a bribe to a government official over the NCC fine.

- Secondly, there is absolutely no truth to the accusation that Mrs Amina Oyagbola who is our Human Resources and Corporate Services Executive was fired. She made the voluntary decision to resign after serving MTN for 12 years as the longest serving Executive, during this period she also served as a Director on the boards of the MTN Nigeria Foundation, MTN Benin and Visafone.

Amina has made the decision to take a well-deserved break after almost 30 years of providing her leadership skills and expertise to various multinational organisations in corporate Nigeria. 

In conclusion, we would like to reassure our customers and stakeholders in the public and private sector that MTN continues to subscribe to the highest ethical standards in all its activities.We take great pains to ensure that we do business with honesty and integrity, and cherish our reputation. As such we will be considering all options (including legal) to redress this grave injustice against our brand.

We want to take this opportunity to call on the publishers of the said article to immediately retract this falsehood and issue a public apology to MTN and Mrs Amina Oyagbola.
