AdakaBoro8: i laugh this ipobMMM dos in Ijaw... cownu is a terrorist like shekau and will be sentenced to death.... thank God they brought white lawyers..... these white lawyers after hearing cownu crimes will even side with the zoo to hanged him..
YOU ARE NOT IJAW.
Come on! Man up, grow some balls and own your tribe. Jeez!
Moura7: Like it's easy to crack hot100 of a foreign white chat when you're not just black but of african citizenship.....I asked you to show me a Nigerian act that's done it before even with foreign features....just one, then show any african song that's made top30 sef. Now, the OG essence cracked the hot100, first nigerian song to do this. Now in the BB charts, the streams, sales, and airplay of a song is accumulated with remix(whenever it drops) and thus makes a song leapfrog in charts, same thing with an album and its deluxe edition too.
Another die hard. Wizkid is like religion to you. No point trying to reason because its blind faith. Lol
Moura7: Lol...now I want you to also mention a song by a Nigerian act, lead or even featured(both by international and local artistes) that have even cracked bubbling under hot100 not to talk of hot100...and mind you, essence cracked hot100 before bieber...I think it did 58 before the remix that pushed it to 16. One dance came with the album views and it was the best song on that album....it was drake's first no1 song on hot100 as a lead artiste and was also had the highest weeks as number as at the time b4 GP...and to think it all this without a video o. Now to his second hot100 hit with Beyonce in Brown Skin girl, was also the best song on that Lion King album that boasted other mad features oo, even our own 9jazz heavyweights. It was the highest peaking song of that album on the hot100 and the only song there to win a Grammy...and now essence is his third and you're saying Wizzy wasn't influential in all these 3?....is it just a coincidence that the songs with him in them happened to do this good? In essence wiz gave tems a platform to shine( not taking anything away from tems, she did madness to the chance she was given). He allowed her to do her thing, she took the first part, did the chorus and even jointly did the third part...that he was laid back and more relaxed on his verse does make it weak at all.
Lets focus on this song here which is Wizkid's song, not a song he was featured on. You are actually reinforcing my point that he is unable to crack top 20 the main chart Billboard 100 without being featured.
Meanwhile, it is not the wizkid ft tems version that is the charts. It is the Wizkid ft Justin Beiber and Tems that is in the charts top 20. What does that tell you?
Aidejay: - I don't really care about that whole first part. Wonder why you even brought it up.
""""Wetin come remain for Wizzy? 10%, which is generous considering how weak his performance was on that track compared to Tems. So 10% influenced 90%?!""""
Dude that 10% you put up there that "weak" performance is from one of the biggest Artists of his generation. Were not talking about speedarlington or joeboy here. So yeah 10% influenced 90% that is why his name is on the album.
Now no wizkid song has gone as far as essense no tems song either. But wizkid has come so far. Billboard is just a new plus for wizkid, you're talking like everything he is achieving now isn't a culmination of years of work. Essense isn't the first song on the album to gain popular notereity, the album itself has outlasted everything else put out last year.
"""Wizkid's influence was so "great" (and I acknowledge that he is a gifted and talented performer) then why must he rely on featured artists? Can't he do it alone? """"
- he is a benevolent giver who loves putting people on. His influence is so great he puts people on for chops. Songs like joro and many other wiz songs are typical examples of wiz doing it alone it might not have been a BB100 hit but it's huge. Thanks to songs like that wiz has built Influence to even be in the conversation for a BBhot100. Thanks to songs like that wiz has a fanbase that streams and buys his songs. Thanks to songs like that wiz has sold out a 20k capacity arena 2 times in the past and 2 times in a year. So yes his influence is That Great.
What has filling 20k arena got to do with this very song Essence Ft Justin Bieber and Tems? You don't have to pull irrelevant stats to make you point. We are talking about this very song and it's overwhelming that without Tems, it wouldn't have gone anywhere or even got Justin Beiber on it. Anything else you are writing is just clutching at straws
Aidejay: that track will have gone nowhere if it was only tems on it. Just like her other songs. Explain that away, bolo!
Listen. I like songs or hate songs. I have little or no time for the artists themselves. Personally, I love live music. Not live performance where instruments are played over a backing track, but complete live performance. For example, although I have no time for Tiwa Savage as a person, I absolutely love her Tiny Desk Concert performance because it was absolutely live and she did 100% justice to it vocally. The only thing missing from that performance was backing singers.
Now back to the matter. That song was written by Wizkid, Tems, Legendury Beatz (Uzezi & Okiemute) and Richard Isong. It was produced by Legendury Beatz and P2J. How many people involved? 5. Okay, let's give the producers who made the killer beat 50%, and give writers 20%. Wetin come remain? 30%. Okay, we all agree that vocally Tems killed it on that song, so we conservatively give her 20% for vocal performance. Wetin come remain for Wizzy? 10%, which is generous considering how weak his performance was on that track compared to Tems. So 14% influenced 86%?!
Now, please name one Wizkid song (not one where he was featured) that has gone as far as this song has gone?? Cracking top 20 in the main main US chart. Billboard 100, the holy grail of charts. Name just one? Even if you wan do ojoro mention "One Dance", he's performance on that song was reduced to a sample of a few seconds long. Basically non existent! Drake himself has a couple of number 1 hits in main charts all over the world where he didn't feature any artist or was featured.
If Wizkid's influence was so "great" (and I acknowledge that he is a gifted and talented performer) then why must he rely on featured artists? Can't he do it alone?
If at all anybody's influence is pushing the song, the it's Justin Beiber, just like Drake before him.
This is the 4th Paralympic Games for the 47-year-old, who specializes in the Women's Javelin, Shotput and discus throws. Iyiazi claimed a Silver medal in Athens 2004, 2 Gold medals in Beijing 2008, a bronze medal in each of the London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016 Paralympic Games.
Nigeria so far, have three gold, one silver, and four bronze medals at the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
TheGidRedpiller: Do not belittle yourself because of pvvssy, pls i beg you, learn to be the price! You are literally the best thing that has ever happened to her but because of the fact that you don't act like such, she will take advantage of you.
LEARN TO HAVE STANDARDS! Stop being cheap for these biittch, i'm talking about when she tries to get you instead, don't mellow to her feet because she's the one with the pvvssy, as a matter of fact, you should feel like a king because you are the one with the d!ck! Don't settle for less, you have the power to make choices, do not accept a biittch with chronic entitlement mentality because she's a woman! Do not take a lazy biittch who doesn't even know how to boil water! Learn to have STANDARDS!
If she were in your place, she could change you for someone thats not even up to you especially because he has a bigger d!ck! So whats wrong with you You have the power to CHOOSE! Use It!
That first photo got to my feelings deep!
Still Typing...
I see no problem with fvcking the bi.tch but still saying no to whatever they want, and making her do what I want. It's all about discipline and principles. Big d.ick moves which I'm sure a lot of guys can relate to.
Sirjamo: Benin republic buy some of their electricity from us, a PDP thug like Igboho will not know
It's even more of a shame that they buy electricity from us but we have woefully epileptic electricity supply while they cruise on steady electricity flexing.
stanluiz: Stop being emotional sentimenal. Did you read the news.
The so called Ezenwa was a former police corporal before he was sacked by the police. He then to a full time kidnapper. That how he get the money to acquire all those properties.
jumpandpas: Shut up. We cannot be deceived by their allegations. The same way a young is bn detained untill we shouted b4 they come up with allegations of her bn a boyfriend to IPOB member. Which court tried Ezenwa, why did they execute him and convert his property?
Ezenwa was their boy who went rogue so they "off" him.
Praxis758: Why couldn't most Nigerians summon courage and expose attrocities/abuses being committed by officials or those in postion of authority but would suddenly be queuing to expose the abuses and raising allegation after the abuser is out-of-office or falls victim of one issue?
Expose officials that have known police killer squads and are backed by powerful Fulanis? Expose to who? To the same people in cahoots with him?
Think about it carefully.
Even with the involvement of the USA security forces in this high profile instance, its very likely that someone like Abba Kyari will go unscathed, Las Las he'll be suspended for a fix period on full pay/benefits. This is a man who also worked with very deadly and bloody killers from the criminal underworld.
Nigeria is a very complex dangerous place where life is very cheap.

Exactly, dangling through did it he up to that extent and even more to the part even if scheduling would have communicated in another language using first and then demanding earlier or later.
VIdeos circulated of him allowing his girlfriend to operate the D train through Brooklyn on Friday Dominique Belgrave, 28, posted a series of videos on Instagram of her illegal date driving through the 50th Street, 55th Street and 62nd Street station. The videos were recorded by someone and then circulated around Metropolitan Transportation Authority employees. The dangerous date was reported to the NYPD
AutoChick4U: Yes naw, she saw cool pad and decided to play d good girl card. If she had been professional, the op might save her number and call when needed and maybe fall in love...lolz

BigShishi: In the hilarious clip, a lady told a female beggar who approached her for money in traffic to do Ashawo work because its a good work and that's the work she's doing herself.
The beggar is probably also doing her coded "kobo kobo" ashawo hustle alongside her begging, just like those "soft bread" hawkers. The mistake most people make is to think that selling their body is a way out of poverty. Ashawo market is a "buyers market" and those men with real money have a higher (Nigerian) taste in women, and there are plenty of such women/girls around. For a lot of ordinary girls, their client base will be okada riders, keke riders, motor boys, labourers etc
