A well deserved win to Kidjo.
The content of her songs are out of this world. She is a mix of Maya Angelou and Miriam Makeba.

Music lovers and genuine content critics like myself would have given up on the credibility and essence of the Grammy Awards if another undeserving artiste had won this.

Sentiments aside, Nigeria is yet to replicate another Fela Kuti in the global music sphere.
Fela is the only Nigerian deserving of a Grammy.

Because music is not about dancesteps or groupie trends but about a movement, a message, reawakening a consciousness and yet the melody.
This is a reality lost on today's Nigerian artistes aside from Asa who lacks in consistency.

Till your music can be accepted by Pastors, Imams, Youths, elders, global leaders, United Nations and illiterates, then you stand a chance of being an African Album or winning a foreign award in Music.

Nigeria and Nigerians must understand that club bangers do not translate to foreign awards in global music.

Greatness begets greatness

I remember far back in 2013 when Angelique kidjo featured Asa in her melodious album 'Eva' which celebrated the pride, strength, and smile that masks everyday troubles faced by African women.

The album had a wide array of African languages, Fon, Yoruba, Goun, Mina etc


Asa also is doing greatly in her own way and she still very much portrays the Yoruba culture to France and the world. Her recent Album 'Lucid' has a good blend of fine sounds that carries messages.
'Happy People' which celebrates the resilient nature of Nigerian women irrespective of odds is one of my favorite.


Congratulations to both Angelique and Burna boy, they both are African giants.

I laugh when I see all these so called rankings by some ignorant white folks.

Ask yourself if this is a true reflection of what is happening in Nigeria. Apart from some very few select parts of Bornu, which part of the country is currently troubled as Yemen as the white overlords want the world to believe.

Ask yourself if truly 80% of Nigerians live in abject poverty.

Nigeria is too big a country to draw conclusions from a select part.


Let the US go and deal with their fire arm carrying terrorists first and find a spot in the ranking above then we can take them serious.

At the end the world always survives.
This will not be an exception.

Things will get back to normal.

Impeachment or no impeachment,

By 2021, Trump would no longer be POTUS.

Sentiments apart,

Pa Buhari means well for Nigerians.

Looking clueless as usual...

How this guy became the president of Nigeria still baffles me.

foolbuster:
Who is an atheist? Well i don't belong to any religion if that's what you are asking. But i believe there is a God or Force or supreme intelligence or creator. I belong to the religion of humanity and only love will set us free.

Exactly, having seen the decadence at the other side, giving a name to one's believe would just be like putting old wine in new bottles. It will lead to the same thing, Division, extortion and a tool for selfish interest and manipulations.

Humanity itself; the basic knowledge of right and wrong, love for one another is what should be practiced. Only then can we find peace.

Please is Fashola still a minister

It's good Boko Haram is going really offensive Now.

Now, the Nigeria military would stop playing Tom and Jerry before those boys put Nigeria in darkness.

One boy in his silly quest to destroy competitors has brought down time upon down time to the once perfect whatsapp.

The amount of downtime whatsapp has had since Mark of Zuckerberg acquired it in 2014 is a cause for concern.

They probably need more Chinese in Silicon Valley than there is currently.

By the way, who still uses instagram , save for our men who go to have meetings with Maami Igbabo, and our women who go to find the best 'kayamata' (Men have become wiser now, I'ld rather stick to my wife or a girl from the village than get milked by some sexy looking beads), just as facebook is facing the path of 2go.


Either all these are true, or my anti social level has greatly skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, Jack Dorsey Twitter has stood and is still standing the test of time.

He did it with government money because he is going to benefit from it after office.

Same way Kwara deputy governor, Kayode Alabi saw to the squeezing the renovation of the Kwara Stadium Squash complex because he plays squash there leaving other sports out.

Post-African effect.

Good news ladies and Gentlemen!!!
Do you know that Obasonjo had an agreement with Mtn when he was in power that for Mtn to access the then 150million Nigerians as a prospective community he wants to earn N1 on every recharge of mtn. Note that Obasanjo doesn't earn A dime when you buy an mtn sim pack, he only earns when you recharge regardless of the conception people had that it is until you include *555*1*, with or without the *1* he still gets his commission. This form of income is called Royalty income or Passive Residual Income.
Few months ago Mtn had issues with NCC on sim registration. A statement was released that an average of between 25million - 45million Nigerians recharge MTN daily.
Ladies and Gentlemen this simply means that Olusegun Obasanjo earns about N25m -N45m every 24hrs of his life for the rest of his life and he can also pass this income to his children and generation(Legacy).

In the same manner Obafemi Awolowo had an agreement also with Coca cola that even in his death for every bottle of Coke opened in Nigeria, commissions go to his family.

It is better to work harder on a business that can keep paying you even when the activity that brought about the income is long gone. Buying and selling gives active income because if you buy and you can sell then its a problem meaning you have to exchange the activity of selling for income once this activity is stopped your earnings stops also.

In 2003, I met a world class computer programmer who designed a software that would automate Jamb registration, examination process etc. I told him to sell the software to Jamb and request for N5 on every complete registration via the software and knowing the Nigerian government so well, instead of paying him they would just add N5 to the Jamb registration so that applicant would be the one paying. Implementing this with the current statistics showing that an average of 7million people write Jamb annually, this means he should be earning about N35million every year for the rest of his life. But because he listened to his friends who told him Jamb registration process cannot be changed, as it has been so will it always be. He trashed his idea and few years later he saw it happen. Right now what is obtainable is that you cant even register for Jamb exam if you don't go online. Same with Nysc registration now

Introducing Eklipse consults, a company that advocates for business opportunities that has the potential to provide passive residual income.

Eklipse consults says, In business, never go passionate about something that cannot earn you a fortune.
In explaining this, a consultant Mr Jimi of eklipse consults asked a question at the company launch on June 11,2016 in Enugu and he said.
"Take your mind back to about 10-15years ago when ATM machines were just been introduced to the Nigerian community. If you were given an opportunity to promote this machines by talking to any bank branch on why dey should av it installed and once they agree, the company delivers and install while the bank manages and run. If you where to earn just 5kobo on every cash withdrawal via that machine because you promoted it for the rest of your life would it be a good business now?
That is for every person that withdraws even if its N1000 from the ATM, 5kobo comes to you for as long as that machine is working and dispensing.
Looking at the rate of disposition of ATM machines now we can say it would have been a perfect passive income system.

No one is inviting to come for a seminar, business meeting, networking syndrome and all, Just drop your mail, I'll forward the PDF file to you, take your time to read through to understand how it works, ask your questions and most importantly please endeavor to leave a feedback comment here on nairaland because so many have used this model to promote illegal, money stealing schemes so many reading this even find it hard to drop their email due to experiences in the past.

Just drop your valid email, dont bother putting down your name or number. Just your mail.
Thanks

There comes a time in a man's life he will have to pick between his wife and his mother.

Do not judge him at this point.
Tomorrow conquers yesterday.

The same people we were celebrating few days ago..

We await for a comment as rich as this on Amotekun.


The guy above me and his 'quotee' are one of the problems of Nairaland.

Simply because as a senior elder stateman and unlike you, he knows the difference between when the FG is taking a position and when an employee is taking a position.

Why do you think the presidency has not released a statement eiither.

I just hope Hope will not be another Bello who was given an unexpected certificate of return without knowing what next to do having come from a distant fourth.

Why onnoghen needed to go..

Atouke:
Imo state indegines have proclaimed that mr hope uzodima as the governor of the supreme court, as the only election he won was at the supreme court and not in imo state,

As the people of the state did not elect him.

You name must be 'imo state indegines'

If he had threaded cautiously, he would have the people's sympathy today.

But even with the unclears behind the judgement, people are happy the arrogant ihedioha is out.

Supreme Court and Mbaka;

Clear clairvoyancy or whisper from above?..

I think the rift between Sanusi and Ganduje has finally been settled.

I feel sorry for oshiomole, he might not be able to take more wounds.

Buhari as the current national leader of the APC should be firm on his resolute. Oshiomole has worked so hard and stepped on many toes on behalf of APC to be treated this way.

Dikegodspower:
congrats to Gov ihedioha

You should be feeling sorry for him.. They are just clearing the way for Uzodinma.

Okorocha suspension has been lifted, he has told his son in-law to stand down.

It was put down to specifically ease traffic.

Some people will still come here and mention tinubu.

Ojukwu didn't just abandon his men nor leave them to die, he left his men to surrender to the Nigerian forces.

He had gone too far with his ambition to now lead his men to surrender.

Fasindo:







Awao!!
This Oba Ewuare ll has truly desecrated the great Benin Kingdom.
He is just gallivanting from one place to other. Oba that is not supposed to leave d palace
The other day he attended Pastor Felix Omobude church instead of attending Holy Church of Arusa at Akpakpava which was his fore-fathers church and Benin traditional church.
He even went to Abuja last year.
I hope he will not travel outside Nigeria before this year end.

His father Oba Erediuwa will be weeping at where he is cos of what this Oba is doing.

I even heard that he change the ancient custom of Oba not seeing the apparent hair to the throne, he now sees his Edaiken of Uselu.

It's high time all the Enogies nd Chiefs in Benin call him to order

Oba ghato o kpe!!

Since agu found nothing to happen when the sacred customs are changed, he decided to let it start dancing to his tune.

The Hisbah corps won't see this.


Education is slowly liberalising the north.
