DeJeffo: So here’s the thing about choosing a name for yourself when you decide on a career in music; you have to pick something witty like say… Royce Da 5’9, M.I, or even something Bold like Madonna, RuggedMan or Just keep it simple and stick with you real name like Omawunmi, R.Kelly, Dare, Ikechukwu etc.

Whatever you Choose sha, has to be ‘Cool’, Witty (if you’re wise like that), Unique, have a clear meaning and most importantly it has to blend with your Image as an artist (imagine if Michael Jackson called himself “Mister Shiny pants’).

Unfortunately when you’re still an up and coming act, you don’t have a team of PR/A&R people at your beck and call, ready to advise and direct your every career move.

So your options for picking a perfect Stage name may not be well advised.

Now bear In Mind I’m a huge fan of Naija Music and this List in no way is a reflection of the quality of Music they make -cos they do make Good music. So here I present to you what –In MY SUPREME opinion- are the worst Nigerian musician stage names in recent history:


10- KC PRESH

https://i2sabi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/pres.jpg

This one seems like the Laziest choice these dudes could come up with! Apparently they blended their individual names to form the one of the most characterless names ever. Even worse is how convenient it was to break apart their identities when the group split.

A good Group name is supposed to make the acts seem like one unique unit, Kinda like Destiny’s Child, Boyz II Men, Plantashun boiz, Wutang Clan etc.


9 – MODE 9

https://i2sabi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/mode99.jpg

Yes! Yes! I know what you’re thinking, how dare I! Modenine is a great Lyricist, Naijas best Rapper….. blah blah blah. And you may very well be absolutely right!

But that doesn’t change the fact that this name has ridiculous origins and even worse makes no sense to the common, no-hip-hop-listening-to Nigerian on the street. What is a Mode 9? Wetin dat Wan mean? Is it some kind of Intergalactic, mystical Hardcore Puzzle that we feeble minded humans failed to unravel?

8 - ICE PRINCE

https://i2sabi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/ice-prince-freestyle-factory-78.jpg

Dude is a very talented, can rap…. Can sing….. Can make Hit Music …can make silly hair styles trend etc. I admit I’m a Fan.

But I just can’t get past this name. When you put on your radio and hear a New Rapper hollering “2 CHAINZ!!” It’s no surprise when you see him in Videos and public appearances rocking two Diamond chains…abi? Or someone call himself Six Foot Plus and is actually that tall…right? Or a short dude calling himself Lil Wayne etc.

But this broda! I no Understand d guy sef! Ok obviously he’s not a Prince in the traditional sense, cos there are not that many in Naija sef, but then the ICE? I have never seen him rocking anything that can pass for Ice or Bling, or maybe he is talking about Ice Cubes …maybe He has a castle made of Ice where he is the Prince and has little droplets of ice as servants.

I once believed that he maybe had an ‘Ice-Cold Personality’ but then he started rocking skinny Jeans and that Theory went down the toilet!

A truly mind blowing Unsolved Mystery

7 - Baba Fryo

https://i2sabi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/baba_fryo.jpg

Ahhhh! This guy own dey obvious na… you don’t know? His First Son is named Fryo, so the only logical thing to do was to call himself Baba fryo…..10/10 Chikena!

And if you don’t know who Baba Fryo is, ask your Daddy!

6 - P-SQUARE

https://i2sabi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/P-Square.jpg

Their names are Peter and Paul, so naturally it seemed like a good Idea to call themselves P square.

However…since it’s obvious that they dodged Math class, somebody should have told them that the correct name should be P squared

In any case, that would have still been a silly name. I guess success can make anything seem cool



*I’ll end here for now and for several reasons; (A) I hate reading long articles and I don’t want to put anyone through that kind of Torture!

(B) I’m Lazy!

(C) I’m Lazy!

(D) I want to get some reader feedback before I publish the rest! ….. so wait for Part 2

Self-wash....

jerseyboy: Emeka Ojukwu (1933 - 2011) President of Republic of Biafra.

The Biafran struggle is, on another plane, a resistance to the Arab-Muslim expansionism which has menaced and ravaged the African continent for twelve centuries. As early as the first quarter of the seventh century, the Arabs, a people from the Near-East, evolved Islam not just as a religion but as a cover for their insatiable territorial ambitions. By the tenth century they had overrun and occupied, among other places, Egypt and North Africa. Had they stopped there, we would not today be faced with the wicked and unholy collusion we are fighting against. On the contrary, they cast their hungry and envious eyes across the Sahara on to the land of the Negroes.

Our Biafran ancestors remained immune from the Islamic contagion. From the middle years of the last century Christianity was established in our land. In this way we came to be a predominantly Christian people. We came to stand out as a non-Muslim island in a raging Islamic sea. Throughout the period of the ill-fated Nigerian experiment, the Muslims hoped to infiltrate Biafra by peaceful means and quiet propaganda, but failed. Then the late Ahmadu Bello, the Sarduana of Sokoto tried, by political and economic blackmail and terrorism, to convert Biafrans settled in Northern Nigeria to Islam. His hope was that these Biafrans on dispersion would then carry Islam to Biafra, and by so doing give the religion political control of the area. The crises which agitated the so-called independent Nigeria from 1962 gave these aggressive proselytisers the chance to try converting us by force.

It is now evident why the fanatic Arab-Muslim states like Algeria, Egypt and the Sudan have come out openly and massively to support and aid Nigeria in her present war of genocide against us. These states see militant Arabism as a powerful instrument for attaining power in the world.

Biafra is one of the few African states untainted by Islam. Therefore, to militant Arabism, Biafra is a stumbling block to their plan for controlling the whole continent. This control is fast becoming manifest in the Organisation of African Unity. On the question of the Middle East, the Sudanese crisis, in the war between Nigeria and Biafra, militant Arabism has succeeded in imposing its point of view through blackmail and bluster. It has threatened African leaders and governments with inciting their Muslim minorities to rebellion if the governments adopted an independent line on these questions. In this way an O.A.U that has not felt itself able to discuss the genocide in the Sudan and Biafra, an O.A.U. that has again and again advertised its ineptitude as a peace-maker, has rushed into open condemnation of Israel over the Middle East dispute. Indeed in recent times, by its performance, the O.A.U. might well be an Organisation of Arab Unity

saxywale: 3am has a special meaning to some Christians and the in the United States of America. 3pm is largely recognised as the time of Jesus Christ’s death, 3am is therefore sometimes given as its opposite and is thought to be the time when spirits become restless and paranormal activity is at its peak.

Spirituallist believe that 3am
mocks Jesus death, because he died at 3pm,
and the evil celebrates it by casting out more
evil at 3am. Who knows?

At University during my undergraduate studies, there were cases of many students waking up between 3-3.15am. Some adults even reported that they have been waking up after 3am just after a nightmare for the past 15years. Some believe God deliberatly wakes that person up to pray. Some believe the person is being tormented by demons. Some believe its because sleep is deepest just before 3am.

Now the question is does anyone wake up at 3am after a nightmare and how did you go about finding solution to the phenomenon? Did a pastor pray for you or you just assumed its one of those things in life?

I believe so......I wake up by 3 too....don't know why.....Eminem amongst other rappers have made songs about 3am

seyenko: Afternoon Docs in the house, please i have a very good friend who has been bed wetting from our days in the boarding house till now. He is very academically sound has worked within the financial service industry in Nigeria and America. Though he is back finally into the country, he is yet to get married, he hardly keeps relationships because of this. We met at our reunion and i know the issue is the singular reason he is not married. Is there any one out there with a solution to this?
