Please free this girl from calling her Wizkid's ex biko.

It's a kind of stigma but l I can't really blame you when there isn't much else to hold as claim to fame. I feel for most people in that conundrum.

Imagine, Sumbo Adeoye even though married and living a very different life in most instances is referred to as Tuface's Babymama. The most ridiculous one is George Clooney's wife; an author, a lawyer of repute and an activist who was in some news coverage (I can't remember where now), first labelled George Clooney's wife in a reportage that had absolutely nothing to do with her husband. It was a report related to Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange's case, who is one of her high profile clients.

Please he is NOT a Hip Hop star, ore like Afro Pop.
Thanks.

My brother, that represents 33%. If he gives you an extra N5k, it makes it 50% and that is about your next thought which would be, IMHO, be unfair as he does the core of the work.

Don't get me wrong, you are offering a very important service and good value but it seems what he is giving you is with a generous heart sef. If you spend on say transportation, I would understand that you'd like to have a clean N10k take home but tell me, would you spend 50% of earnings on marketing a service?

I had a terrible hotel experience in Benin as well like 4 months back.

After my initial trip from Lagos, I left Warri to see a friend in Benin. It was getting to 6 pm and I detest night movement or I'd have gone back to Warri where great hospitality was still awaiting me if I wished. So I decided not to burden my friend but stay in a hotel til the morning when I'd board God Is Good Motors back to Gidi.

The closest hotel to God Is Good was recommended by one of their staff, just a minute walk. I asked if it was decent and he was like big people stay there.

Well, the hotel was actually large with about 5 floors but why spend, I think about N9 or N10k for a room for less than 12 hours when they had the N5k+ rooms; that alone was enough moullah wastage sef.

After 4 inspections, I chose one with the most decent look, tah!

The restaurant downstairs where they had milked me unfairly was average. They claimed they didn't have change and the female attendant at the bar section that served me a drink said she'd bring the change to my room much later but I clearly saw her give out enough change severally as I ate my food. Your guess is as good as mine; I told her to keep it on my way out. Alakoba!

Back to the room, I discovered sperm stains on the sheets and as far as the curtain of the window next to the bed!

Changing it was going to be impossible as the attendant took ages to bring me soap and tissue after several calls, and grudgingly too.

The TV was as usual, permanent-ed on Africa Magic, the so called shower was a facade and the door would not lock until a 5 minute battle with it! Imagine my frustration especially with security concerns when it first acted up.

It's a good thing I always pack a towel and a cover cloth when travelling... that was what I used on the bed and I carefully bagged them in the am into a nylon careful not to touch it on the side with contact on the bed. I used my one of my previously worn T-shirt to dry myself after a 5 am shower. I have concluded I will also always add wipes and disinfectant anytime I take a trip.

Urrrgh!

I thought dis guys were sighted in a restaurant eating amala last year? So na our arms money una dey take chop amala abi?

Oh, I think that was Fayose and Buruji; eating amala and downing it with Moet!

You for don give am the money straight.

If you are moved to do something, fear not if the person involved is lying. Just satisfy your conscience although to be frank, it is painful if someone wastes ones resources on frivolities under the guise of "I don't have transport..." and "Epp me".

No, no, not for me. The centre of gravity will be so high it will tip over at slightest provocation.

Awesome soundcard... in fact, anything EMU. Wish it was FireWire or USB though.

I call it symptoms of 'Diasporalysis'.

[b]I do not even drink cocacola, i prefer fanta and if it is not available i will settle for sprite or 7up but never coke. But this new song(taste the feeling) and advert has captured my heart and my soul. I even had to download the video and i watch it every minute. Avicii and Conrad sewell did a wonderful job on that song. Many of our local artistes are releasing cover versions of this wonderful song; Simi, Tuface, yemi alade, adekunle gold. Diamond Platnumz did a swahili version of this wonderful song and many pianists are making piano covers of this song. I really want to see pentatonix do an acapella version of this song because this song is driving me NUTS! I definitely do not like this advert because of cocacola, i love this song and advert because i love good music, i love art and i love avicii. The person who scripted that advert is a fvcking genius! Infact i don't know how to explain the feeling this song is giving me, all i know is that it is a wonderful feeling. So wonderful i couldn't stop myself from letting it all out here. +connects earphone and keeps listening to taste the feeling)!+[/b]

Me too!

I'm sure the argument that roads are to be made before structures are erected are valid but methinks even with the attendant lack of order, road contractors embarking on any road construction/renovation project should embark on adequate survey of any place they are to work and factor in the costs of reasonably suitable solution for such buildings that may have issues. In cases where they costs may exceed reasonable threshold, building owners be advised prior to the work to find a lasting solution to the matter


Just a thought.

"Thanks to the Graphic Designer who bailed them out of obscurity.

NTA is next in the media sector."

Can't find this commet to quote it directly but... kai.... where do I start concerning the bolded? In fact, it is waaaaaaay beyond the work of a graphic designer no matter how good or professional he or she might be... damn, it is not as simple as visual representations o! I can't even start to explain, no time for now.

Which agency was responsible for the creative executions?

Modified:

I've found out, Landor, US but likely their S.A. shop, without help from any Nigerian agency. Kinda of thought it'd be a certain CreativeXone that won their account sometime ago.

Update:

I still have N80k non-reversed POS transaction several months down the line and it is still unresolved. I don write letter tire!

Ha, ha... women can be dangerous.

I remember years back in school, a girl who was friends and neighbor with an older school colleagues girlfriend decided to show me a peculiar kind of wickedness.

My friend and his girlfriend always made the key to their room available for me when not in town and I often stayed there just to change space.

This one night her friend whom I'm very friendly with knocked on the door that she wanted to come in and pen a letter since that room had a table and chair or is it fan... something ridiculous.

Toh, I let her in oh, she sat for upwards 40 minutes writing while I continued with my creative task. It did occur to me that she may have wanted something but even at the peak of my needless playfulness, restraint was and is one thing I always pride myself with... or is it in. I fear to sh*t for shoosh.

Anyway, na so her sister come town to resume as a fresher at another institution weeks later, we met and we dated albeit briefly.

The slander this girl peddled against is something I still find scary til this day just because I overlooked her. In fact, I had to go see her at her then boyfriend's guest house - a rich niccur who was once the wiz kid of taxation in Nigeria - to beg her. She denied any complicity but her sister told me that she got into trouble for dating me and that she was planning on making her life (and mine) unbearable.

The worse thing was that she unfortunately was friends with my main chick's best friend. One day, I went to see my girl friend and all three plus another unknown were present. I was first shocked but later relaxed believing all was well only for me to take my leave and as I was stepping out she voiced: "Eh hen, when last did you see d**i?"...

The rest is best imagined!

richiepolymer:
Something is fishy here. You mean they used AK47 riffle to go rob these few naira notes? Why police dey lie like this? Last time I checked, na police dey tie magazines together like this

Those are not AK's and anyone from guerrilla fighters to police tape mags together; it's for efficient exchange when one 'cartridge' is spent.

permanentgrace:
This issue of recovering magazines from armed robbers is what i dont understand. What do they use magazines for in the course of their operations?

Are you like serious? OK, perhaps...

The 'magazine' in this case if the casing that holds several bullets for semi automatic and automatic weapons.

goldonome:
pls drop me ur contact sir

Send your digits to richgamutonline@yahoo.com and be sure to note on NL that you have mailed me.

Cheers!

freezyfofo:
All I see in ur post are ignorance... what mac will do hp or acer will do beta, whereas, they are not even a studio priority. Go and learn pls. The most valuable studio equipment is the ears. Yes, ears of the engineers and producers. Followed by a HD sound card. Peace.

I have worked in (and built from the ground up) standard class studios... it's not by studio, true.

Bruh, na you put yourself for work with the active word 'standard' and then putting up that picture. Save for those, your original post would've been strategically fine and the quoted would be (near) excellent.

I do a great deal of work also from my notebook, my tools and my ears from my bedroom when it suits me and I pay bills that way; it's not all the time I feel like working in my 'standard' place.

No hating.

goldonome:
Please I need lots of info from u guys...I'm a music producer, and recently awarded a contract for a live music production of which I ve not done before...please I need informatiom regarding the type of soundcard, Computer system, Mixer and other logistics that I can use to achieve a good sound and music...thanks

Are you like going to record a band/sessionsmen? You need a major setup for that if it will all be tracked real-time but if you are doing overdubs, its appreciably easier.

Please specify and/or expatiate but generally, you'll require a trully solid computer in the range of an Core I7... for PC or a Mac. Any DAW from Pro Tools to Cubase, Logic or Studio One will do with a soundcard that comes with many I/Os i.e. Avid HD, Presonus 192, MOTU 24I/O... most especially if you are tracking drums realtime... For your bass/guitars (and voice if you like), preamps will go along way in giving a well rounded sound for mixing.

Let's know better details sha.

Nothing can be standard with that our budget my friend... from gear and gadget to acoustics, it's not possible.

If you are talking an M-Audio Keystation 49 + Core i3 PC and accesories + Berhinger B1 mic + furniture maker's foam... maybe.

k I just love the beat maybe a good studio can give me a nice beat as that

Correction: "good producer can give you a nice beat as that"

[quote author=Orikinla post=45290618]Nigerians love to use our Almighty Baba God for camouflage. Even armed robbers, looters, call girls, runs babes, kidnappers and sex traffickers in Nigeria give credit to God for their success and then tell lies to decorate the rest. Here is someone a top guy named Isa at STB-MCcann, an advertising firm in Yaba gave N400, 000 (four hundred thousand naira) for her hip hop rap LP and she and family used the money for shopping and wasted the guy's investment! What a scandal![/quote

This.must have been a while back. N400k na beans now.

silvermania:
I did a freestyle on his mama track and it went perfectly well with one of my written love song, can I do my track on his beat without his permission or I have to seek for it. Am asking because have listened to many artist using someone else's beat e. g sade by adekunke gold and the likes.

I would have said it's a "cover" but you are doing an original song on it, innit? Just don't put it out commercially.

Strictly speaking, freestyle is for rappers.

How? I can't say for sure but it is important to keep keeping at it.

Training and truly understanding the rudiments of vocal dynamics will help one in discovering one's true voice and style. Of course, we have those who don't even have 'vocal talent' to their voice that are out there but in the international scene, it is mostly those with that have found that unique factor that are truly remarkable and remembered.

R. Kelly possesses a sweet and sonorous voice but hardly pitches or goes beyond a particular scale; he is revered as one of the greats (of the newer age anyway). Anita Baker was a victim of several rejections specifically for her deep male like voice... today , we know where she is placed in the Hall of Fame.

Not everyone will be an Aretha Franklin... you can be a Louis Armstrong.
