shymexx: I'd say a school of thought is of the opinion that most of these attacks are well orchestrated and they aren't done by random people. And I also believe that it seems the Yoruba's are putting all their cards on the table and showing off our aces. People like me have been naïve, being that we're just innocent people trying associate with our origin and show solidarity with our blackness - without being conscious of the elephant in the room. Perhaps, that's why I get exasperated every time I get attacked because I'm not used to being at the receiving end of the type of attacks, I receive on here, from all kinds of people. It dawned on me a few days ago. Hence why I decided to stop posting on topics about Nigerian politics and focus on certain topics. The anonymity also provides a platform for malicious powerful forces who're hell bent on creating divisions (because it benefits the status quo) - to keep polluting the minds of young folks. And I can call myself a victim of that as well. Due to my naivety and perhaps this is a new terrain for me - and it will always be. Pending when I go to Nigeria and relate to the normal people.

I honestly don't want to get too involved because I'm still young - and I'm a one-man army, from a completely different background, from almost everyone on here. My passion might end-up becoming my Achilles heel. To quote one of favourite poster on nl, "in youth we learn, in age we understand." The "big brother" is watching. It's obvious to anyone who can read the hand-writing on the wall that there's a cloud setting over Nigeria - and everyone is already strategizing on their next steps. And since the internet has become a powerful tool to disseminate all kinds of information - various people and interest groups have taken the battle there.

However, I would say this: Yoruba's need to watch what topics they talk about on here and perhaps look for a better platform to have discourse about these topics.

blink182: Then burna boy is creating his own style in an attempt to mimic the legend.

eaglechild: All what you have said is useless.
Just go back one page and you will see Fela in oversized sagging blue pants on stage.
No need defending lies.

Ishilove: Bump

Demdem: For this to happen, Stella must step aside. She can't remain in govt, eating lunch with the AG and expect EFCC to do a good job.

kommiejewel: The senator, who declined to give an official reaction to the
controversial deal, said it would not be right for him to comment on the
issue when the upper chamber had not adopted a resolution on the
matter.
i.e He cannot categorically tell u one thin while his Oga @ d top will say another. .

CFCfan: The EFCC probe should be a fair process, there should be no undue pressure on the agency.

Ishilove: I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I will never derail a thread again. The ban wasn't funny. I had nightmares!!

Alfa my love, we shall confine our love to the romance section.

Mr Troll, we shall confine our love to the romance section to avoid another ban.









I'm freeeeeeeeeeee!!

bukatyne: Beautiful!

I though culture evolves according to the people?

During the times of our fathers, was cake or minerals used?

What really is the clinging to non-essentials about?

I guess it's really people abroad that concerns themselves with such issues.

Marry in Italy or Jamaica, it doesn't change the fact that you are a Nigerian from Fiditi village.

We are so hypocritical about this culture jargons that is the new rave on NL.

I hope the Op walks barefoot, uses chewing stick to brush and doesn't watch TV. He should also remember that browsing is NOt part of our culture too afteral, our fore fathers did not.

Our ancestors sat down and formulated the life that will be convenient for them with the limited resources they had and 100 of years later, we are still clinging to some things.

I hope we also know that our culture dictates Kings are buried with heads of community members amongst others...

Let me see us sticking to that

tintingz: Really?

naptu2: QUESTION

brief introduction

: Can you tell us who you are as a person?


ANSWER: Well, I call Bisade a musician. I'm also a producer. We have a band, we've been together now for about five or six years; sorry, this is the fifth year; in another one month, it will be five years we've been together. The band is called Colours. We play basically African music. It's like all my work is based around that band for now. Studio production for now are limited to experimental projects. That's the summary of what I'm all about.

QUESTION: Is there any relationship between Bisade Ologunde and the invisible man, the masquerade you called 'Lagbaja'?

ANSWER: Bisade is the producer for Lagbaja. I also conceived the idea. But there has been so much unnecessary focus on the person behind Lagbaja. The more important thing is the message of Lagbaja and the total concept. Anybody could be Lagbaja. It's just the significance of using a mask. And the main importance of that mask is that the mask is like a symbol of the facelessness of the so-called common man in Africa. [size=14pt]So, we have different people perform the role of Lagbaja, being masked performers. But Bisade is Bisade. I'm Bisade Ologunde not Lagbaja. If I wish too, I could wear the mask and perform Lagbaja also. But somehow, I think it's probably due to some press misconception that led people to thinking of Lagbaja as Bisade or whatever. We've had several people play the role of Lagbaja as a matter of fact.[/size]

lorretta u: that's him.
