imsu.boi: Dear Oyebanjo, Dapo Daniel AKA D’Banj,I am seated at a local restaurant here at the university town of Nsukka, in Enugu State, Nigeria, drinking a bottle of Fayrouz and listening to the sound of the generator, which is the only source of electricity around here.I have watched your latest music video. I went through the rigour last night. It is the video of the song entitled “Don’t Tell Me Nonsense” and it was awfully disgusting, the song, I mean. Kaffy and the rest of the dancers didn’t disappoint in the video. This is bad, I know, using awful and disgusting, in same sentence. But that is what I feel about what I saw. Brother, D’Banj, a lot has changed since you left your brother and hustle partner, Ajereh, Michael Collins AKA Don Jazzy. Truth. Your songs have been nothing but trash. I wonder if anyone has said anything nice to you since you started making songs outside Don Jazzy. If they have, it must have been for that singular hit song entitled ‘Oliver Twist.’ Kai! That song swept through Nigeria and the rest of the world. You would not believe that the ordinary child on the streets of Nsukka knows the lyrics of that song and the dance steps too. In Nigeria, there are plenty factors that weigh us down. One is our inability to manage our weaknesses. I see you have been buying yourself expensive jewelleries. The other day, I saw on a blog that you wear a wristwatch worth my entire family and maybe inheritance. I commend your taste. You are a lucky and hardworking man. You deserve it, besides; ‘Oliver Twist’ made marks. It took the Nigerian music to a height that had never been seen in recent times. Its toping charts, downloads, Youtube views and itunes purchases are amongst the few things I can mention. Dear, D’Banj, Don Jazzy may not be an ideal partner, I bet you, no one is an ideal partner! Perfect couples quarrel and make up. It is the joy of having such union. I believe misunderstanding is part of us, as humans. I will run to the zoo the day I see a union that agrees on almost everything.Back to your music, I feel Don Jazzy was made to make good music with you. He may not only be your producer, but whatever input, from advice, to production, will go a long way. Besides, he has been miserable too, without you. I have seen his eyes in music videos. There is one he did with Tiwa Savage. Ah, Tiwa. She looked dazzling, while Don Jazzy looked wanting and dispirited. Tiwa may have a perfect voice but Don Jazzy has not been able to achieve what he did with you. The other boys, K- Switch, Wande Coal and the goody bag crooner, D’Prince are unfortunate learners. They must be stark illiterates to have taken sides when you guys parted. I understand their ignorance. But my concern here is, if you wish to stay relevant in the sight of Nigerians, making good music, and not caressing a stripper on stage on your birthday, then you have to make amends with Don Jazzy and understand that people argue because they are beneficial to themselves. Only dummies agree on everything. I think tribalism had a lot to play in your split. It is a sad reality, if I am right. Tribalism will eventually destroy Nigeria. Our young people think they belong to a superior tribe and so make silly comments which sometimes bring about misconception and then crisis. I once had a boss, who is Igbo, who felt my tribe’s men were lazy, just because she came to my state and saw a job and was privileged to be a high ranking staff. I have had people who think those from the north should be gatekeepers and cobblers. Someone called me a militant once in Abuja, at the Sheraton, when he discovered I was from the Niger-Delta. I forgave his gross stupidity. I think we should drink a cup of water when ignorant people say rubbish about our personalities or flaws and relate it to tribe. You are a great young man, D’Banj. Few people have attained the height you have. I am encouraged to pursue what I am currently pursuing because I know I will triumph. Your likes and that of 2Face Idibia, despite your weaknesses are heroes. And you must recall that Kanye West met you because he had heard good stuff from you. When nothing good manifests, he may be forced to give you a new job description at Good Music, which may be mopping of the floor of the studio. This evil will not befall you. If you believe it, type amen. D’Banj, pride is the worst enemy of any man who wishes to last longer anywhere. A drop of arrogance may work, but pride is detrimental. You were called the ‘entertainer’ because you offered entertainment. Today, Inyanya, Kcee, Flavour, Wizkid and Davido are doing better. Imagine Burna-Boy, chai, that boy has some senses oh. His music, even when he is talking nonsense makes you want to sit and listen or dance to it, as the case may be. The only person that is yet to outshine you is my dearest sister, Tontolet Dike. That girl needs Jesus. I have to go back to my drink. I paid for it and it is almost missing me. I enjoy your struggle or hustle, as you may choose to call it. I wish to hear something profound from you. While awaiting that miracle that only you can perform, I wish you the very best of life.
prem love: u are right bt we dont need him nw we dont need rebel
Like Keshi wasnt a rebel during his time as a player, trying to force the manager to pick or play certain players, or ignored the national call up for the 1990 nations cup in Algiers, in 1992 played the first game against Senegal then disappeared only to return for the game against Ghana in the Semi's. If Keshi cant see past West Brom's players action and let bygone be bygone then he is a hypocrite, because Westerhof was going to drop him from both squads that went to Tunis and USA in 1994.
Rep of Ireland did forgive Roy Keane after his rant and his action in Japan/Korea because they need...
Jores Okore has revealed he fell asleep during his medical, hours before completing a £4 million move to Aston Villa.
Okore, the Denmark international, was asked to undergo a lengthy scan at a private clinic and drifted off despite the presence of a film crew filming a documentary of his transfer from FC Nordsjaelland.
The 20 year-old has established a burgeoning reputation in his own country and sealed his move to Villa last week, six months after turning down the chance of a move to Chelsea.
And Villa manager Paul Lambert will be hopeful of no further dozy moments as the defender prepares for his debut season in the Premier League.
Okore said: "I just wanted to get the MRI scan done quickly. Boy was I wrong. I was placed in the scanner and started a two-hour session. I have to remain completely quiet.
"I'm listening to the radio and I'm wondering what it will be like. How my new life in Birmingham will be. Will I speak English with a British twang?
Shame you were not around when New Edition, Jackson 5, Supreme, Take That the Spice Girls split up, you could have stopped them making a great mistake! May be you could have stopped the old Soviet Union (USSR) splitting up

chess guru: *yawns again* Do you know how many dumb mofos lost their money betting for barca against bayern?? So please remind me how that ended 8-0 home and way. Pointing to d fact that sometimes shit happens. LAST BULLET: People are saying nigeria messed up because they could only beat a team of fishermen and janitors by 6-1..ehhh me J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ confuse, because I don't know what will be used to describe a team that lost 8-0 total in a champions league semi final 4 that matter (I guess that team was made up spanish fishermen and janitors too)
The whole football watching world knew that Bayern were so strong....
chess guru: *yawns scratches his ballz and rolls over* J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ the same way they said SE can't win the nations cup or the same way they said chelsea couldn't win champions league. You guys no dey learn. T'is football not chess....a game where SHI*T happens
How much you wan Bet.... Put ya money were ya mouth dey...
This one no be Chelsea vs Barcelona, Nigeria vs Spain!!!
Lordwize: The Tahitian are champions representing some group of people, we like commonising people and that is not good. We fail to understand that it is not easy playing against a lesser opponent, the Eagle tried I beg. If they have lost nko, people wey neva kick water go de shout.
The Team that lost to the U20 Chilean team 7 - 0, This is the same team Australia always beat with cricket scores
k2039: I know Spain will beat Nigeria. If we are lucky to get a draw against Uruguay, then we will need to advance based on goal deference(best possible scenario).
I hope this Nigerian Team know that they need to score as many goals as possible, if at all they want to reach the semi final because I'm sure Uruguay will so whoop Tahiti.
The way we are struggling to score Suarez would have had a filled day because he would have punished Tahiti
churific:Tahiti has 1 professional player…Ranked 147th with a 0.05% chance of coming out of out the group. If this team even draws with us, man, our players need to just get back on the plane.
abukkyia:D̶̲̥̅̊ Bible said let Ūя̲̅ moderation b known unto all men
In the days of Jesus, everyone wore robes. There were no pants or skirts or dresses. Even Jesus wore robes. So the question about forbidding women from wearing pants based on the bible is a moot question because the bible does not say anything about pants. We have to look at the intent behind the statements in the bible about cross-gender presentation. There were important reasons to prevent cross-gender presentation in the times of Jesus - Women presenting as men could be unsafe. She could be killed in a war. She could be treated badly in a scuffle. Likewise, men presenting as women would not receive the rights that men were given above women in society 2000 years ago. Those are the reasons why the bible talks about not wearing cross-gender clothing. All clothes are human made. God did not make anybody's clothes and God did not design any gender's clothes. So God really doesn't care what you wear. The bible tells us things to keep us safe and for the structure of society to be maintained. Religion helped us end barbarianism in the middle-east. In short, God is not going to punish you and you are not going to hell if you wear cross-gender clothing. In the modern world, wear whatever you want, but most of the ten commandments are still relevant - don't worship idols, work hard for 6 days and take Sunday off to pray and be thankful for life, don't murder, don't cheat on your husband/wife, don't steal, don't get your neighbour into trouble for no reason, don't have sexual feelings for someone else's wife/husband. Most people do not follow the above commandments. The clothing you wear is a non-issue if you look at at the number of times you have violated the above commandments each year.
Esther 2:2 2 Then the king’s attendants, who served him, said, “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king. 3 Let the king appoint overseers in all the provinces of his kingdom that they may gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem, into the custody of Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let their cosmetics be given them. 4 Then let the young lady who pleases the king be queen in place of Vashti.” And the matter pleased the king, and he did accordingly.
12 Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women—for the days of their beautification were completed as follows: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women— 13 the young lady would go in to the king in this way: anything that she [d]desired was given her to take with her from the harem to the king’s palace. 14
And Esther found favour from GOD!!!!
it took a 12 months of preparation just to spend one night with the King
