If guys need ladies to do house chores for them, they need to "wife" them first, they are not house girls, some guys use that as an opportunity to leave everything for their gfs. |

warriorprincess: excuse me pls but that stature is nothing I think that the stature is helping him and its not all about swag every time he can have his own style if thats his style nobody can change him not even Nigerians  As in ehhh, what is swag in the first place?? All artistes can't come to shows and dance around the stage and shake their heads and people would clap because of that, it goes beyond that for me, and who says he can't make it Nigeria?? He can if he wants to, but he might not get the general popularity. |

obiscolly: At the end of the day, MTN and Nigerians need the winner to be someone who's vocally sound, a great performer and has an outstanding social profile. Sadly, Anderson doesn't meet the last criteria- no wonder the was among the least voted for. He could have won on some other platform but definitely not project fame. Wish him all the best.
. Much ado about Anderson, I wish him the best and I hope he makes it musically, he should stick with his alternative genre, move with the right folks and if he's super lucky, a label picks interest in him, "he go hammer". |

macklef: All of yur shouting anderson was not desrving to go home are so rong. On project fame or any other reality show, its not about ur performance its about ur personality And the excitement you bring to the viewers.
Anderson may be a good singer but the she-male is boring. Thats the edge chike n dehinde has over him, even biko is kinda boring too and i guess that's what unworked for them.
Just imagin urself watching keeping with d khadasians n u hav boring people like anderson init. The show woulda long ended. Do the kardashians sing?? or are you ref to another kardashian we don't know? I really don't know how you guys come about the "gayish" or transgender stuff, but whatever rocks your boat man, our opinion differs the same way our noses differs. |

Omolola1: So who exactly am I supposed to be watching right now on Project Fame...
Joy, who sings like a tout? Pearl who sings like she's about to have s.ex or wants to seduce someone Or is it Chike that sings so well during classes but comes on stage and portray he has low memory Arewa that thus far has been given songs that favors her....either by voice texture or the popularity of the songs Kumi that is just there to pass away time and fill space Jeff that becomes increasingly annoying by the day Or Dehinde (I rest my case)
Who the hell am I supposed to be watching?
Project fame has just lost one of the best voices ever in the entire 7 seasons to grace Project fame. Why would Uncle Ben even give such a song to Anderson? Why would they even do Nigerian songs at this stage of the competition? Could Uncle Ben be getting tired or smoking something? I'm just so pissed right now. First it was Jennifer, which was even like a film trick to me. And now ANDERSON, of all people ANDERSON..
What were the judges thinking saving Kumi? What were the faculty thinking saving Jeff? And what were those chewing gum, hungry looking contestants thinking saving based on gender. Which was the same thing they did when Jennifer was evicted.
After seven years of watching Project Fame with reckless abandon and dedicated attention, it's time I stop the addiction and move on to better shows.
Project fame officially sucks to me right now.
Smh! Spot on!!! The choice of songs are questionable and they think everyone should come on stage and dance and shake their heads and swing their arms in pretence of performance, but to my lil knowledge, performance goes beyond that, I might be wrong though. |

Nymphnode: Chai! Anderson fall my hand. What are the tears for? The guys got served with the gender card this time around. All the ladies voted their kind. As in ehhh, why were they all hugging him like they care? Project fame is fast loosing it, the artistes they churn out with this kinda method get lost when they come to the real world, there are different kinds of genre of music, but they cater for just 2 or 3. |
Politics › Re: My Take On Biafra As An Igbo Man Born In Lagos And Married To A Lovely Osun Lady by opeaceo: 7:56am On Aug 28, 2015 |
zendy: [b] I'm pleasantly surprised that the OP, an Igbo man born and raised in Lagos and married to a Yoruba woman, has still kept an open mind about Nigeria and Biafra. Many 'Nigerians' are closed minded people who cannot see beyond the 'colonial handcuffs' that Lugard put them into in the name of "Nigeria". In my experience, it is usually Igbos who are born or raised outside Igbo land in places like Lagos are the ones who don't support Biafra. Some of them don't even know how to get to their villages in the east to talk about Biafra. One of the reasons why I support Biafra is this increasing generation of Igbos raised outside Igbo land who are slowly losing their identity. They must be given a new platform to rediscover themselves. When it comes to the wider scheme of things, there is argument in the fact that it is the undisputed right of the Igbo people to decide for themselves if they want be Nigerian or not. So there is realy no argument about Biafra.
I'm an Igbo man by birth
I'm a Biafran by free choice
I'm a Nigerian "by force" [/b] So, for them to "rediscover" themselves, Biafra is the way to go?? Clap for yaself, you made perfect sense. |

What a lovely write up!!!
In your words " This fight is only won by patience, tolerance and endurance.." Many think marriage is for when the going is good, once you mention the bad, they'll say "God forbid", like the bad times would never come calling. " Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity". - Carl Jung. |

Ghost01: Take it:
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Politics › Re: Buhari Finally Moves To Probe Obasanjo by opeaceo: 12:28pm On Aug 20, 2015 |
agabusta: Sincerely, sentiments asides probing it's sale to Transcorp doesn't make sense and won't achieve anything. The previous govt before taking over Nitel again should have done that. It will amount to a gross abuse of process for this current govt to start probing Transcorp for d purchase of a company that has already been taken back from them years back. Your suggestions is just trying to put unnecessary yoke of the past administration borne out of inefficiency on the current one.
If there is a reason to believe the company was purposely undervalued in order to sell it to the cronies of GEJ last year, then there should be a probe and if the case is established, the company should be made to pay more or the sale revoked if they refuse to pay more.
I'll support tht the company should be made to pay more as I know they have already employed a good number of Nigerians and won't want them to be out of jobs so soon.
It's no big deal. Late Yar'dua also probed the sale of refineries to Dangote, his kinsman by Obasanjo and revoked the sale when it was established that the sale did not follow due process.
Let's not be sentimental with everything. It's not about being sentimental Sir, things went wrong when it was sold to transcorp, what happened to Etisalat' and British Telecom, where are they?? Why did they make most of their workers non pensionable?? Too many questions, if they must probe at all, let them start from where it went wrong not half way. |

agabusta: If it was sold under Obj, and it was sold again under GEJ what does tht imply?? Does it not mean the its sales under Obj was revoked?? Or can the FG resell a property that is not their own again?
So if the sale under Obj has earlier been revoked, so what is there to probe there again??
What they should probe is its last sale under GEJ as it was highly undervalued. And moreso since the sale under Obj has already been revoked. Haaan, the problem started when it was sold to transcorp, that company grounded Nitel, and that period, most of their workers were laid off, something went wrong, and it would be proper if he starts the probe from the beginning. At the time Nitel was sold to natcom, the buildings and equipments were deteriorated, hence the low price at which it was sold. |
Politics › Re: Buhari Finally Moves To Probe Obasanjo by opeaceo: 7:52pm On Aug 19, 2015 |
agabusta: I'm disappointed. Some people come to nairaland everyday and are still not conversant with happenings.
It was GEJ that sold Nitel to Tunde Ayeni. The same man that donated 2billion naira towards GEJ'S reelection. This same man that also bought Ibadan electricity distribution company.
The man is also the chairman of Skye bank.
The name of the consortium which he is a major shareholder is NATCOM. They are presently recruiting, so i'll advise some Nairaland peeps looking for work to browse their contact and send in their applications. Nitel was sold 3 times to 3 different companies, twice under Obasanjo's regime and the last one under GEJ's. The corruption started under Obj when he privatised it. |

Mine is: A naughty boy by John Keats.
There was a naughty boy, and a naughty boy was he, He ran away to Scotland, the people for to see- There he found, That the ground was as hard, That a yard was as long, That a song was as merry, That a cherry was as red, That lead Was as weighty, That fourscore was as eighty, That a door was as wooden As in England- So he stood in his shoes And he wondered, He wondered, He stood in his Shoes and he wondered. 2 Likes |
