decogrin: I "giess" you should STFU too, as if oliver twist wasn't recorded here in Ð☺η jazzy's studio...abi na kanye west dem tell una say e produce am?

What is d correlation between this trash U wrote here and d main points raised by d guy? Face d main points he raised and prove otherwise.Go sleep if U've got nothing important to say.Moreover,what's our business with who's studio it was recorded? + was it only Oliver Twist d guy talked about? I'm sure U should be d worst speaker in any debate U undertake.Go sleep joor.

seedord247: Where's the rugged man that kicked him out as of today?

Nice question.wanted to ask d same thing too. Ruggedman left because he could not stand being disgraced by d new,upcoming,SMOOTH ENGLISH rappers.He was quick to realise that the era of pidgin rap is over,so he took to his heels before he is forced into retirement no thanks to MI and co.

Flakeey: you guys should leave d'banj alone
whether he is being used as househelp or not is not of your biz
it's his life, let him live it the way he desires.
i know some of u will jump at UK or US visa to go there and work as Househelps, cleaners, morgue attendants and lots more.
so guy, cut the crap and face your future.

U forgot to add 'Burger flipping' to d list. I wonder what their biz is.Some people need to stop hating and get a life.

safarigirl: Just because people don't share your opinion doesn't make em haters. Not everyone will like D'banj, welcome to the world. Everybody shouting Oliver twist like D'banj is solely responsible for the success of the song. I bet if he got an award he won't acknowledge those who contributed. One hit song is what is hyping the guy, MC Hammer did 'Can't touch this' who no play am? Where is the artiste now? Na to feature in Kanye album be am? Is it until some nutjob in US or UK approves the song that inferior Africans will know their worth? Only thing this continent is good at is eating from Oyibo hand, if a whitey doesn't approve of it, then it's wack. How does Oliver twist improve anyone's life? Na to talk 'shakey bum bum, you must need the gon gon' na im go end Boko Haram or provide good health care? These things will remain with us long after your white neighbour has deleted 'Oliver twist' from his music library, so what's the noise about? Congrats to D'banj sha, hope he's investing just in case music doesn't pay the bills in 2 years.

Sharap my friend,did U just said,it is just one track that is promoting d guy? U av failed to realise,that hardwork and success is not a day's job.Btw,2004 to 2012, Dbanj has sang around 30+ songs + few features,with nothing less than 15 monster hit tracks,chunning out hits after hits and lately,one of his latest tracks 'Oliver Twist' got an international recognition and appeal and d best U can do is to type trash.

Moreover,when as it become d duty of Dbanj to tackle Boko haram crises? What happened to Mr Clueless? Here is someone trying to make efforts to improve his music base and d only thing U haters can do is to trash him all d time.How many professionals in Nigeria can compete and even laise with their foreign counterparts?Not even our footballers or boxers(as notorious as Naija is).He myt be part of our best in Nigeria,but he knows that d foreign guys are better.Even if he is undergoing a learning process,doing boy boy or Akpan like some eediots claim,good for him.Who are U?what do U do? Can U compete,laise,rub shoulders with d best of ur class in d world.What guts do U av to tell Dbanj to save his money incase music doesn't pay his bills? U think he's a fool.If U had 1/8 of his money,am sure U would av misbehaved.He will feed U for d next 10 years.Rubbish!!!


Common sense also failed to tell U that,d challenge,driving force and objective function of Dbanj is not about d money but to establish an international presence to d best of his ability.

Whether or not Dbanj is successful in his sojourn should be non of any one's business.At least,he tried by making an attempt,not claiming a local champ like some cowards.Afterall,it is better to try than not to try at all.

[quote author=Xymc...]i tink d ansa is dat she has more dan 1 husband there4 al dat was done on d 1st husband n he died,then 10minutes leta she goes out wit her 2nd husband OR She went 2 dinner wit d dead body. . .am i right?? Jst a trial[/quote]No.She took a PHOTO SHOOT OF HIM.

diluminati: maybe our turn in music is to pay more attention to the lyrics that reflect the real nature things. Its difficult to achieve that because they are in for the money, so when their songs are played over and over, you have no choice. Music is limitless, many of our artistes have limited mindsets the all too familiar themes with exception of 2face to a degree.

Yeah,I understand ur point of view but that is why we av difft genres of music.If U want a song that relects d real nature of things,it will be difficult to get that from Hippop,Afropop and d likes.Try other genres like Country,Soul,maybe pop and RnB and d likes.The question is,ow many Nigerian artistes sing those type of genres? Very very few.
Nigerian radio Djs need a re orientation also.They play songs at d wrong time.Difft genres should be meant for difft days and difft times.E.g the fast paced shake ur bums party songs should be more suited for friday nights.U shouldn't be surprised if u tune in ur radio now and hear one of such.A very good example of a song that depicts ur argument is that 'CHOP BANANA' song by D'Prince.It was given a forceful marketing such that u may get to hear it like 5 times in one hour wen u tune from station to station.Due to constant repetition,we ended up liking it.
THE BEST THING ONE CAN DO IS TO AV A PERSONAL SET OF ARTISTES ONE LISTENS TO DEPENDING ON ONE'S STATE OF MIND AND NOT RELY ON RADIO DJS AND TV STATIONS TO DICTATE D PACE.I start my own day with NEWAGE MUSIC and end it with JAZZ.

The real definition of a wack Artiste is one who is not singing his genre well with respect to Rhythm,Beats and Lyrics
Good Rhythm + Good Beats + Lyrics= EXCELLENT
Good Lyrics - Rhythm- Beats = Wack song/Ariste
Good Rythm + Gd Beats - Lyrics = Above Averg.
Good beats-Rhythm-Lyrics = Wack song/Artise
Good beats + Lyrics-Rythm= Averagely ok.
Good Rythm + Lyrics - Good beats = Average.

Infact,I have seen countless hit songs with scanty lyrics.

Van snickers: A+

Thank U sir.

Donlittle: is this english or latin?

I think he tapped that speech from Hon Patrick.lolz.

Those who live by d gun die by d gun.

^^^^ Dlex type well now,what did they multiply by increasing positive numbers? I understand the part of increasing positive nos

2*1=2
7*2=14
1*3=3
8*4=32
2*5=10
8*6=48
D increasing +ve integers they are referring to are d,1,2,3,4,5,6 that were used to multiply d 1st nos which means that a number would be used to multiply 7 to get d nxt one after 48 and so on.I need to know ow they got d 2,7,1,8,2,8 they used to multiply 1,2,3,4,5,6 respectively.Just type d sentence well.

Wonder dee: at least a poet makes more sense, tell me how the hell will i relate to a song i only hear sangalo or akpako or rabarabakpishamsham from beginin to end?

Lolz.U got me laughing! That kind of song is meant for just when U want to only shake ur body to d beats.If U want to relax and calm ur head,then U may listen to d likes of Beautiful Nubia,Asa, etc.Ur mood and d time shuld be a criteria for selecting what to listen to.

I see a lot of people are misinformed with respect to music based on the comments so far.


There are different genres of music...Country,Afrobeats,Hip hop,Jazz,Soul etc and to a large extent,it is d type of genre that basically determines d lyrical makeup. U can't expect a Soul Artiste to start talking abt party and shaking of bums just as U shouldn't expect a Dance hall to be filled with bores abt life events,stories,folk tales etc.

In Nigeria,d most dominant genre in recent times revolves round hip hop and Afro pop and what is d characteristic(s) of those kind of songs? U shouldn't expect sober,life,moral values such kind of lyrics from that kind of genre of music even d lyrics of American hip hop acts is filled with trash also. I guess,that's d way that particular genre is. So,before U say an Artiste is wack lyrically, U need to first of all know d type of genre he sings and know what such genres entails. The point here is that LYRICS IS NOT ENOUGH CRITERIA TO SAY MAYBE OR NOT A SONG/ ARTISTE IS WACK.



A music or song can basically be divided into 3 parts;
THE RHYTHM , THE BEATS, THE LYRICS.
The most important part of any song is d Rhythm cos it is what determines d flow and progression of a song. The Beats is a compliment of d rhythm and it is d next important to d Rhythm and d lyrics is d body of d message which is d least important (this may shock U though)
Even when a particular lyrics of a song does not pass a particular important message,intelligent Artistes like D'banj breaks d lyrics into rhymes to make d hearing of such songs appealing which thus,improves d rhythm.
Any Artiste that has got good rhythm and beats has already done about 70 % of d job on a song and success is certain. This is Y U hear some songs with vulgar and bad,misdirected lyrics but U still love listening to it/them and wonder Y they are hits.

If d lyrics of a song is d most important thing,we wouldn't av listened to MAKOSSA here in Nigeria in days of d Makossa craze. YANNI CHRISOMALIS hardly sings in his songs,yet he has millions of fans. When ENYA sings,U can hardly hear her and d lyrics.Infact , I download even d lyrics of her English songs most of d time after d song would av caught my appeal initially .She sings in spanish and some other languages at times,yet,she has millions of fans worldwide. Her albums sell at an average of 15 million copies. Shakira's hit track, LA TORTURA was sang in Spanish,yet loved by a lot of Nigerians.

From d above examples,how will U determine d lyrical content or what message it is passing across when U don't even understand d language? Haters are always so quick to castigate the 2 times MTV based Best African Act, Dbanj for his lyrics( cos they understand his language).D question is,what did outside observers see in his music before giving him such awards? Here is d point, WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING MUSIC, THE RYTHM AND THE BEATS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING NOT D LANGUAGE OR THE LYRICS EVEN THOUGH THAT IS IMPORTANT TOO,IT ONLY COVERS A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE.

Some of d upcoming Acts like Wizkid understands these perfectly and that is Y they concentrate on d rhythms and beats and when their lyrics is not solid, they turn it into rhymes to make up for it. That's all! And one cannot but wonder how their songs turn into monster hits.

Fine girl no PIMPLE,I Love your
Smile and I love ur DIMPLE,SIMPLE.......To see ur FACE, I can go to SPACE.......lolz.

CHEERS!!!

musKeeto: u didnt notice the 'just forget it sha'... and random solution... no wait o... u get am..

....Abi,me sef dey wonder wetin he mean by 'random solution'.But Y should he say I missed it initially?

Wonder dee: By God's grace Wen i come to the industry, ppl will start listening to the lyrics instead of the beats. Adee say so

U don't understand music,that was Y U wrote this shit.By ur arguement,POETS should be d highest selling types of musicians.Music takes more than lyrics ok?

MOBBDEEP: My brother, I've been telling them.
Too much of attention-seeking, perhaps adjoined with lack of moderacy&modesty, is what informs & drives this action.
The funny thing is that many won't agree because, many atimes, the attention-seeking drive is subconscious.
Meanwhile, on the male's side especially the 'traditional'/conservational-styled ones , we tend to associate it with wildness ( especially in sexuality experience)
Same thing goes for
* Ankle chain/bracelet
* Nose piercing
* Tattoo-ing
* Some crazy hair-do etc
Believe you me, I'm very liberal & free-spirited ( after all, my training enforces it if you are not one naturally ).
I've talked to good critics, people who I esteemed to have sound judgement/reasoning & guys who I think has had their 'ample' share of women's world. Their verdicts, either hard or well-reasoned, have been same! - that they are wayward.

So on point! U've said it all! That's part of d reasons Y a lot of marriages even fail.A lady does not need to outrightly do something before one can know what she is capable of.When U see such girls(piercing),U can easily tell d kind of family they come from;
1)It is not a closely knitted one
2)The family is a 'everyman for himself' type and as such unnecessary liberty to kids xposing them to promiscuous tendencies
3)Families that d parents are incapable financial wise etc and with a working knowledge that their child is involved in disguised prostitution
4)Family with bad moral values.Don't be surprised if d bro to such kind of gurls are involved in fraud,yahoo yahoo and d likes.
The list goes on and on and on.
I can't just imagine anyone of my sisters aving their ears pierced while we were growing up.I'm sure I would av beaten d living daylights out of such even before my parents gets to see.
Again,hardly will U find a responsible man that marries those type of gurls.#Ladies be warned#

[quote author=~Kaylee~]. You are a cretin. What an ignorant generalization you have up there. Extra facial jewelry does not reflect/determine the morality of a person. Sometimes beating up Goliath seems waaaaay easier than understanding the thought-process of you Holier-than-thou people. Rubbish.[/quote]I think U do not understand d meaning of GENERALISATION.I wouldn't use d word 'most' if I was generalising but I can definately attest to d fact that what I wrote is true for at least 70% cos I av seen countless examples infact,I am yet to see one out of d examples that violates what I wrote but I know there can be a minute few somewhere and that was Y I gave it a benefit of doubt and used 'most' instead of 'all'.

dlex21: the answer is 58...with a random solution...just forget it sha

What do U mean by a random solution? I got a pattern for d sequence and got 68 with clearly stated out calculations.Are U sure ur 58 is not a typo? If d ans is 58 like U claim,pls show workings.I will be waiting.Tnx!

Tinkybabe: I'm glad I didn't give it a trial.

Infact 1 hour is too small.If care is not taken,one would spend a whole day on it.

Girls with more than one type of earrings which means they av their ears pieced in two or more places.Gurls that exhibit those multiple piercings are most times usually promiscuous and those that are not,av very rough pasts.#Another sign to watch out for guys before U deep ur hands in fire#.Very rare and strange to find a good girl with such type of piercings.

^^^ @Dlex21,what is d solution to d sequence question.I couldn't get another pattern.

dlex21: u need panasharp!!!

another 1
Three brothers share a family sport:
A non-stop marathon
The oldest one is fat and short
And trudges slowly on
The middle brother's tall and slim
And keeps a steady pace
The youngest runs just like the wind,
Speeding through the race
"He's young in years, we let him run,"
The other brothers say
"'Cause though he's surely number one,
He's second, in a way."
who are the three brothers

The HOURS,MINUTES and SECONDS hand of a clock.

dlex21: Itz simple jooor...when U̶̲̥̅̊‎​ read the question thoroughly, there are important facts U̶̲̥̅̊‎​ should note..like:

1.The Norwegian smokes dunhill and owns the cat
2. The owner of the blue ous keeps the horse and smokes blends
3. The Swede keeps the dog..
4. The owner who smokes pall mall rears the bird..which leaves us with 1 animal which Iڪ the fish...automatically since the German smokes prince, and from those facts above, he has 2 be the owner of the fish...shikena
As simple as A, B, C!!!
cuddos 2 U̶̲̥̅̊‎​ guys that figured it out!!!

Hahahahaha.No no no no no.I disagree with U. D question is not that easy like U said.A high level of logic is needed.U need to see d paper I worked it....it is quite tough.Did u try solving it before u saw d solution? Anyway,happy I got it at last.I hope ur subsequent questions will not make me skip lunch o.

Chedarking: And so is D'banj. Yes I said it...D'banj and his Oyato Wackness.

I guess U just wanted to make unnecessary trouble with this silly post of urs,so,av fun kid.Okay?

dlex21: read it again...i've modified the post...u are wrong but its not the norwegian

I couldn't get what d Norwegian and German keeps initially,so I just tot it should be d Norwegian cos of d water.lolz.Didn't do a thorough job.
Went thru everything again and saw d Norwegian actually keeps cat.The Dane owns d horse.The Brit keeps birds.The Swede keeps dogs.

The German keeps d fish.The answer is d Geman.
N.B: The question is too tough.Used almost d whole of yesterday on it and a part of today as well.
Ans =German but u go buy Panadol o.

dlex21: weird

That's Y it is a riddle (*winks)

dlex21: i wish o!!! u are right...buh he drinks water doesnt mean he owns d fish

the question actually belongs to albert einstein and he sed only 98% will get it...

I don't get ur point. U said U wished and said I am right again.I don't understand.
Moreover,if that riddle actually belongs to Einstein,he couldn't av said only 98% of people could solve it cos that will translate to almost everyone being able to solve it.I think He said 2%.Maybe U misquoted him. It is d person that has and takes water that owns d fish.D other ones keeps other pets.

Am I correct? Is the answer to d riddle'The Norwegian' like I said?

Hmmmmmm.D two semis is definately gonna be a classic.I believe if d Falconets make good use of their chances,they'll triumph + I can't imagine what d other match would be like.Japan(host) against Germany(def champs).I can't wait for Tuesday.I wish our darling gurls all d best!

naturalwaves: Here are some new riddles and teasers.

1)If two's a company, and three's a crowd.
Then what's four and five ?

Four is a DOUBLE COMPANY and
Five is a CROWDED COMPANY

Tinkybabe: I won't bother attempting any of the riddles..the shame of getting 2/5 on naturalwaves' is enough

Lmao. Don't worry now,that doesn't change anything.Try these ones.D 2nd one is very tough.One will spend at least 1hour on it.

dlex21: 2.There are 5 houses in 5 different colors in a row. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage. Other facts:
1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.
5. The green house's owner drinks coffee.
6. The owner who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The owner living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The owner who keeps the horse lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who drinks water.

The question is: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

The Norwegian lives in d 1st house,his house is painted yellow,he smokes Dunhill and takes water so he definately owns d fish.

Ans=Norwegian. Is that correct?

arisetayo: Wat can u say about nissan primera as regard fuel consumption.

My friend uses that car.it is highly efficient,it saves a lot of fuel.It is very easy to maintain(with regards to fuel consumption).

dlex21: its not correct

the other question is dere now

That means the question has more than one pattern then.Will try and find another pattern. I will try and solve d other riddle too.

dlex21: 1. Can you figure out what number comes next? 2, 14, 3, 32, 10, ...

In dis sequence,everything revolves around d first term which is 2.
(2+14)=16
2*16=32....we will skip d nxt term I.e 3 before writing 32.
(2+3)=5
2*5=10.Skip one,I.e 32 and write 10.
(2+32)=34
(2*34)= 68.we skip 10 and write 68

Therefore,the answer is 68.The nxt term is 68. Is that correct?
