There was space for band sets, praise singers and uniformed group but there was no space for Journalists. How can you organise that kind of event without making provisions for Journalists? Sounds very ridiculous and stewpid!!!

gregg2: My guy, forget these crooks we have as leaders.
10M naira cheque from Aregbe is enough for Chukwumerijie
to start speaking different tongues.

Besides,why is the report only available on Osun
State governemnt website?

SHARAP!!!!!!! I watched it on Tv and the Senate Committeee toured virtually all the states. You think everything is always about bribery? What is 10M to Chukwumerijie? You just say things you are not sure of, speculating nonsense. Odestein!

tomakint: I have not been too frequent at the music section for sometimes but pays constant visits to the politics, romance, culture, sectarian politics sections.So, I have been around for a while now. I once read ur comment on the Mimiko's election sometimes, takia bro!

Okay....I hardly visit sections too. Sometimes, I just operate on the front page, it all depends on my mood. This your thread has turned from a supposed one line answer/ reply to stories, no thanks to Dayokanu and co.

tomakint: Good to hear that,men I don miss you (I am dead serious)!

Really? I've not been seeing you for a while too.Where have U been?

floriana: If PEJ is the brightest star in GEJ's live, then Jonathan's world must be a terribly bedarkened world.

I am not surprised our GEJ is like that. He has even demonstrated his lying skills again. Who can't these people lie to? They will lie to the Country, lie to their children and now, Jona has just told Patience A BIG FAT LIE. On the contrary, if Patience is truly the brightest star in Jona's life, she should be held responsible for his retarded nature #just joking#

mumento007: even with her illiteracy, she has achieved more than your entire generation

Daft thinking! No need to insult the guy cos he is correct. You can say she is more fortunate but definately not an Achiever. I guess you do not know who an Achiever is and what achievment means. To achieve means to succeed in doing something by EFFORT, SKILL or COURAGE. A critical look at Madam Patience will show that, aside the fact that she went to school which every Tom, Dk and Harry does, she has not achieved anything significant that can be pointed to. Like Yanni Chrisomalis do say, THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE COS THEY ARE IN SILENCE AND THEY INCLUDE, TRUTH, IMAGINATION, CREATIVITY, KNOWLEDGE, LOVE, KINDNESS AND COMPASSION. SO, YOU SEE, SUCCESS AND GREATNESS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY OR POSSESSIONS.


The earlier you change your mindset, the better for you.

ferdiii: When the system is bad what do you do? He siphoned off our cash and took his dead daughter to UK.

This is the most stewpid post of all. You are so daft to even think that it is until one siphons public fund before one can afford to send one's ward(s) to a UK university. You could not even respect the late daughter by leaving her out of whatever trash U have to say. Not only are you uncultured but Heartless as well.

2sexy: Okay , I just found a link to his music...

here it is http://www.loudtronix.me/search/Truly-Gt-Da-Guitarman

but no champion remix.. anyone with a link should please drop it.

The video is on youtube. Visit the site and type CHAMPION REMIX OR GENERAL PYPE OR WHATEVER,you should see the song from the list. If you need audio, search for the download on google, it is not tough to get. I downloaded the vid from youtube when it first came out.

tomakint: wao the 'MusicMan' so you are from my State, you see why we disagreed to agree quickly, blood is indeed thicker than water. Take care naturalwaves, I hope you are good!!!

Lolz@ 'The musicman'.Blood is indeed thicker than water. Thanks man, I am good and doing fine.

Guchis: I love this song...
The first time i heard him sing, i went WOW! Hope you make it BIG soon GT, you deserve it.

Yeah, he truly deserves it.

2sexy: You are right, maybe I didn't know how to convey my message properly.

I also agree with doing more shows...

But to be honest, If I had the means, this is where you tap into potentials and make name and fame for your brand. It's so unfortunate that we live in a selfish country.

If it were in a white man's country, they would have made money for GT and themselves by exposing him. How do you think Michael Jackson, W. Houston, Diana Rose etc came to lime light? Read their history.

I pray that God liberate GT and other talented artist still struggling to be heard.

Exactly! I don't know what it is with regions and genres of music. In some parts of the world, they basically listen to classical music and Contemporary Jazz. In some other places, they like Opera music and New Age. For some, Rock is the main thing. In Jamaica, it is basically Raggae and so on and so forth.

One must be extremely good to really make it in Nigeria if one wants to sing Blues, RnB, Soul and the likes. I believe if ASA could cut across with her ' Soul' kind of song, GT can make it too. I wish him all the best!

2sexy: brother, your comment is a detailed extension of what I said earlier.

Besides, the Nigerian music industry does not encourage people like him. I remember reading where he said he is not going to follow the crowd nor change the kind of song he sings. Now, that's what I call passion. This guy and Timi portray and reflect passion when they sing.

You see the love for music in them. Another good one Dare Art Alade.

Most of Naija singers are just singing because of the money. It is not surprising to see people entring the industry at age 17,18,20 etc and call themselve singer or musician. And when they sing noise the whole naija go haywire.

I think GT need branding and packaging with a carved niche for himself. For me I am lover of blues, R&B. Like some said, he should try to collabo with those who have had successes. He shouldn't think he can do all alone. There are many more like him with passion for the game who aren't known, my elder brother inclusive.My elder brother has been singing long before we heard about 2face, psquare etc and from childhood but nobody knows him but he hasn't given up. The guy is multitalented and adapt to any kind of rythm.

For me, naija music industry is not for me even though I got the voice and passion like GT. I don't want to deviate from what I love singing,which is blues, R&B. And that's why I dont even want to go into the industry but would rather grad, and get a job in the oil industry lol.

Naija people like noise and GT,Timi don't sing that kind of music. Thus, not know as much as their counterparts.
Brian Mcknight, Boy2Men(my mentors),Joe etc
Blues, R&B till die!

I agree with almost every thing you have been saying except for the part you said OTHER MUSICAL ARTISTES ARE SINGING NOISE. That's not true! Every genre of music has it's own characteristics.In Nigeria at the moment, RnB, Soul and Blues are not well listened to like the other genres which are on the high side. The fact that a song is loud or has fast beats does not in any way make it less important to some other slow songs.


As for GT, he needs to be a lil bit more consistent. He has been around for about 6 years or more but only few tracks can be traced to his name. He shouldn't wait for big shows(he is not yet there). He should hustle less paying shows and performances, anything can happen from there. IMO, he was not yet mature for the limelight when he was signed into Storms. They saw a talented kid and quickly tied him down (maybe for selfish reasons). GT neeeds a lot of grooming. It is not enough to have a good voice and few tracks. He should work on his Publicity AFAP.

[quote author=truelove.com]

Those tracks are not up to singles , they dont merit it…if those songs are single , then i wonder how other songs in his album would sound like…nawa ooo , this one na big time flop.[/quote] ....I guess U're just too anxious. Relax and keep your fingers crossed.

bigbounce: [qu
ote author=naturalwaves]They will soon come and blame Fashola for this now. Whenever anything happens in Lagos, it is Fashola.Funny people. The Police officer must be so daft and heartless to have killed someone for such a minor offence.At least, he could have shot the bike by the tyres or something. I've been following the Nigerian Police lately and I've observed that they don't know how to shoot on target, they just point and shoot. Who knows, maybe that's why they get killed so fast anytime there is a gun duel between them and armed bandits. They don't appear to be well trained atall.
Let me tell you one single truth today,if fashola didn't bring up okada rider ban the police won't use that as oppotunity to kill innocent man,am sorry to say this but this is truth all the government in Nigeria are so stupid,selfish,greedy,daft and useless beast....if they are not they won't be acting in that manner....there is no job and people are taking risk to feed their family yet you want to take that away from them...point how many factory or company the government establish to create job oppotunity?the so call beast are even taking aways the means at which people find earning.....concerning okada do you know how many laws they have impose on them and they still stck to it but yet what happenfashola just want arm robbers in the street....they asked them to buy crash helmet they did,they ask them to have riders card they did....in Lagos if any car knock okada man down the blame still go to okada why?go to benin republic and see if what they use most...is okada and there law if you are using car and you knock person on okada down straight to jail or do you want to tell they are using okada because they can't afford cars?remeber cars is very cheap there....I almost get knock down by a man using is own just for the sake that he want to change his lane without trafigating....why is it that we Nigerians are always blind about the bad side of okada riders and not face the fact about them...the reason government issue riders card because they are capable to transport citizen but who is at fault?some people drive car in Lagos they don't laws they will just jump from there lane without pointer on..so just face the reality...apart from okada they will go to market and park people who are trading try to be helpful to themself and their family inside black mary but the are not criminals...criminal scout free and innocent people people were pack like stock fish in blackmaria..but their own children never struggle but they enjoy the country wealth as they feel like but remind fashola and other today that all those able man and boys they render useless in the street or ghetto will be the one to kill their children when they return home to Nigeria...today or later...

I don't think the ban on Okada was a TOTAL one. They were only restricted from moving in some certain areas (which are well indicated on such roads) and the Expressway as well. They were restricted from the Express roads due to safety reasons and in some areas dut to security reasons. If you leave in a busy area in Lagos, you will see the degree of lawlessness of these Okada men.Most of them don't know how to ride, they overtake you from the right when you are driving. Even when you trafficate to turn right into a diversion or a street on your right, they will always still want to speed past before you turn. Knock down one of them in the process, and they will be allover you. You know how many people have been knocked down by bike men due to taking one-ways and failure to comply with other traffic laws? I have escaped being knocked down severally as well.Even when you walk by the road sides, these bike men won't allow you walk freely.


Okada is still very much useful in a kind of city like Lagos despite all the negatives. I will never suggest a total ban of them and the Government is not doing that as well. The restrictions are still okay as a way of striking a balance.

[quote author=truelove.com]why i said so , is that his two promo tracks "oyato" and "go down" no make sense.[/quote]Lolz. They are not the Promo tracks. They are just singles. It is just a mild strategy to stay relevant at all times. That's D'banj's strategy and it has been working for him all this while since 2004. Moreover, to say an albulm will be a flop based on two initial tracks is a fallacy!

Ondo too

WHEN AM I GONNA BE WHAT I WANT TO BE?

WHEN AM I GONNA SEE WHAT I WANT TO SEE?

THE TIME IS TICKING AND I CAN'T WAIT NO MORE.

DO DREAMS EVER COME TRUE IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD?

That was exactly what GT sang in his debut song 'The Dreamer' some years back and what is happening to him at the moment paints a perfect picture of that lamentation. The challenges of this life are just so so numerous.

thelastPope: Of course it is Fashola's fault! What the heck are you talking about? Is it the queen of England's fault?

No, it is the Chancellor of Germany's fault. Odestein! Why should Fashola be blamed for the actions of a Trigger happy policeman? Did he instruct anyone to shoot at sight? Did he tell anyone to use firearms in protecting the law? You are a lil bit daft so I will help you with this example; Your Dad tells your Teacher to flog you whenever you fail to do your assignment.You failed to do that on one occasion, the teacher attempts flogging you, you started running away and something terrible happens to you in the process through the teacher. Will your dad be blamed for trying to instill discipline in you? Or will you blame him for the over zealous action of the teacher? What exactly will you blame him for?.

thelastPope: Something is wrong with your brain

.

See what is coming out from a self acclaimed Pope's mouth.Remove that POPE from your Monika cos you are not worth being related with that name . Well, refer to the example I gave you up there, re-read and re-read it until your brain deciphers it. By the time you are through, you will see that it is your own brain that something is truly wrong with.

thelastPope: How do you use firearms to enforce traffic laws? Where in the world do you do that? Eediot!

Yeah, it is a bad idea to use firearms to protect a traffic law. The Policeman must be mad for doing that without being instructed to.

thelastPope: Continue to spill blood as you like! Time will tell!

This should be directed to the Trigger happy fellow as well. Time will tell!

They will soon come and blame Fashola for this now. Whenever anything happens in Lagos, it is Fashola.Funny people. The Police officer must be so daft and heartless to have killed someone for such a minor offence.At least, he could have shot the bike by the tyres or something. I've been following the Nigerian Police lately and I've observed that they don't know how to shoot on target, they just point and shoot.

ciphoenix: gracias . Like i said earlier, It all boils down to what one values.

Exactly! Individual preferences.

ciphoenix: feels just great. If we didn't want a device that can be multipurpose, we could as well buy a phone(for calls), a tablet(for reading books), an ipod(for music and movies), a ps vita(for gaming). Quite a handful if you ask me. Gaming or doing any other thing on your droid is not childish as you think.

Yeah, Multi tasking is a very good thing in technology and that was why the Microsoft OS sold a lot when it was first introduced.Playing games on mobile phones is not much of a bad idea provided they are soft ones like Chess, River test etc but the way my friends mention and describe the type of HD games they play,it looks so serious like something that will be similar to handling a proper console.That was Y I said that.Nice argument U got there though.

solomto: Both mikel and psquare grew up in jos,the later were musician bt said they wld hv become footballers if they weren't musicians. Nw the later is saying the vice versa too. I think Jos seems like a city wt lots of raw talents if am nt mistaken.

Yes, you are very correct. I have a couple of friends from Jos and they told me music is a main thing there just like the way football is in some other parts. In the morning, you will see guys moving around, several groups, all singing and they like rapping a lot too.Guys from Jos have a good command of the English language also and they have good schools over there.The likes of MI,Jesse, ICe Prince and co are just a perfect rep of typical jos guys wrt to the quality of what they spew when they rap.

....

ikekings: Yea... But, all I'm trying to say is that she won't ask for your number... But, if you ask for her's she will give it to you... The “hanger” works for real... That, I'm sure of...

Exactly! The hanger works like magic. The funny thing is that the ladies ask for ones number at times after the hanger but it is not gauranteed.The best shot is still to do the asking by oneself which can't be turned down.

ikekings: Lol... For my naija girls, you are sitting on a long thing... Though, you are right about the “hangers” of a thing, it works... But, not to the extent of her asking for your number...

You can easily ask for her number at the point where she says "So, how do I.........?" Cos it is only natural for her to give it freely so that she can always get any complete info should the need be.Like I said, the moment you can get her to start asking questions (not insultive ones),the deed is done.Both parties will be free to exchange contacts.
Honestly speaking, I have never been failed by the HANGER, they always ask for contacts after that (maybe it is because I know how to use it well).For those that are not very good at it, you can as well ask for her contacts without her asking first after using the hanger to the best of your ability. I bet, she can never turn you down at this point.

bush4ker: u are talking abt pc gaming ryt?whats the most porpular gpu they use in some high end laptops for gaming?everybody knows its nvidia so are u trying to tell me android phones are nt using nvidia tegra chips?oboy some android games looks like psp/ps2 throw dat ur bb away

My friend, go and get a proper game console if you want to play games. Buying a phone cos of HD games sounds very childish. How do you feel playing such in public? Grow up man!

[quote author=truelove.com]yeah…Even if his album doesn't sell, which i know it wont. I will still respect him, cos he achieved alot..he won many awards , both local and international..his one of the few music icons we have in africa.[/quote]Good...... but how can you say his albulm won't sell?

bittyend: Whatever!! But don't ever put the great Yoruba tribe and cowards in the same sentence again. Else, I'll slap your Igboness out of ya face!

You forgot to add ELECTRONICALLY.lolz

bashr8: my job is to defend not attack , the owner and moderators are yorubas so if they had proble with the tribal wars they would have stopped it long ago by banning and deleting them but they dont care so why should i care. from my conclusion they dont mind if yoruba image is destroyed as long as igbo image is also destroyed .

Lolz @ your job is to defend and not attack.So, you have the defenders, attackers, midfielders and a goal keeper. Your goal keeper is gonna suffer the most. You got a coach? Or your team has none? #dont mind me, just providing some comic relief#



On a more serious note, a mere report of an irregularity should not be termed as a direct tribal attack cos a particular tribe was mentioned in the report and I see that happen a lot of times particularly in the Crimes section.IMO, issues should be discussed based on the way they appear but we have so many Tribalists particularly Yorubas and Ibos on NL( The Hausas are even afraid so afraid to be a partaker) such that the first thing they look out for in any report is the name of the accused person so they can start fueling or defending as the case may be and it is a great shame on such a forum like this with all the educated fellows here.

Sky Blue: You're not even ashamed to note that we had GMs in the aviation industry when Dana crash happened after several warning incidents. Nigerians generally have no shame sha. That incident should have been enough to make people lose their jobs if they refused to retire voluntarily!

So, you meant to say that those GMs were responsible for the crash? I want to believe you are kidding right? Tell me how they should be held responsible for the crash with respect to where they failed in their duties. Moreover, a good Leader takes responsibility for whatever happens. I tell you something, if heads need to roll due to imcompetence, the Minister should be the first to go. That's what they do in developed nations. Infact, the Minister would have resigned if such happened there but the love of money, power and greed won't let her do that. I remember Obasanjo sacked the then Minister of Aviation, Babalola Aborishade during those famous crashes of Sosoliso and Bellview.

bashr8: you are right but i took that stand because we all know the intentions of the op and moderators, this thread was meant to be an igbo bashing thread but it failed. there are courts, efcc etc that can invstigate such , until they do she is innocent and i take her aids words however if they investigate her and find out she did something wrong then she should be punished, also other agengies should be looked into cus most of them are dominated by hausa fulanis and are unproductive.

Okay, this is better from you. I guess aside the topic, your duty is also to defend the Ibos.Sounds funny! You guys should take it easy. This your defence above should have been the first thing. Since you feel the OP and MODS are trying to create sentiments, won't it be better to direct the verbal attacks on them that it is not gonna work rather than on a whole tribe.


Moreover, taking the case to those Organisations you mentioned will take almost Eternity before it can be concluded. I think the employment was a back door one.Let's wait and see what comes out of all these.
