Odogwuzack: You are saying nonsense.
They identify as Nigerians and where do you put them in Nigeria?? You know Nigerian music when you hear it. Nothing in "Kiss from a rose" and "Smooth operator" says "Ngerian". Just as music from Fela, Davido, Burner boy, are obviously Nigerian |

Swiftgrp: I understand your POV or sentiments here but I have a contrarian view as an OG.
The past multiple-Grammy Awards winners, Sade Adu, Seal and Chamilionaire are of Nigerian descent. Two British-Nigerians and one Nigerian-American. They have all NEVER denied their Yoruba roots and links to Nigeria in many interviews. Davido too is a Nigerian-American!
Infact I remember watching Sade Adu on national TV back in 1986 when she visited Nigeria for her father's funeral and she told the journalists (who interviewed her at the International Airport in Lagos) that it was great to be back to Nigeria.
Seal also visited Lagos State 2 years ago with his first son from the German super model, Heidi Klum and he also told journalists at Femi Kuti's shrine in Ikeja, Lagos that he brought his son from America to come and know his roots in Nigeria. Seal was born in London like you accurately said but he came back to live in Nigeria and finally left Lagos Island, his hometown in 1979 with his British passport to seek for greener pastures in the UK and studied architecture.
Sade Adu and her older brother Banji were infact born in the late 1950s in Ibadan to a White English mother who was a nurse and a father from Ikere-Ekiti who was a Professor of Economics and a graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science. Sade's parents first met in England.
Davido himself is a Nigerian-American and was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1992 to a Yoruba father and to Imade Adeleke, a delectable Bini woman and an academic from Edo State who worked with Bowen University. Non of these changes the fact that Seal and Sade music are not Nigerian as Davido's is, neither did they have any Nigerian flavour. Davido is all the way Nigerian, though born in US. Same way Sade is NOT really Nigerian, though born in Ibadan! Seal was brought up by white foster parents in UK |

Appletek: You are the one who is talking rubbish out of ignorance. Imagine someone saying talking drums are only heard by Grammy people. What manner of ignorance is this? I asked you a direct question. Is Davido more popular than Fela? Yes or no. Exactly what I suspected - ignorance due to lack of exposure. Fela's music never entered American mainstream at all, just like those talking drums. Someone that managed to enter American mainstream was Bob Marley. There are soo many very talented musicians whose music never entered American mainstream - like Jimmy Cliff, Miriam Makeba, etc. Davido did - with Fall. So did Burner boy, with last last, then others have now followed. Before them, no Nigerian music ever managed to enter American mainstream - NONE! |
Music/Radio › Re: Nigerians Have Bought The American Market - Ghanaian Music Executive (video) by PoliteActivist: 4:38pm On Nov 18, 2023 |
Appletek: Yes. Seriki Adepoju with 4 Grammys is also not really Nigerian. His talking drum is not really Nigerian. Ebunoluwa Ogulu is not really Nigerian. Abeg, rest with this Davido you're pushing. He's the least of them all. You don't know what you are saying. We are talking POPULARITY - music played constantly on popular radio stations. I can bet you those talking drums were probably only heard by Grammy people, never played on radio stations over there. Ebunoluwa Ogulu (Burner boy) came after Davido. Davido's Fall was the FIRST!!! |

Swiftgrp: Smackdown!
Yorubas of Nigerian descent in the entertainment industry have been very stellar... winning the Grammy Awards since Sade Adu (whose Professor of Economics father is from Ikere-Ekiti) won it in style in 1986. SEAL, Chamilionaire and more. Sade and Seal are not really Nigerians in the sense Davido is, neither did they play music in any way Nigerian. They both grew up in UK. Seal was born in London |
Music/Radio › Re: Nigerians Have Bought The American Market - Ghanaian Music Executive (video) by PoliteActivist: 4:02pm On Nov 18, 2023 |
Appletek: Davido shouldn't even be there. He only has a nomination and it's not a win, yet. People like Sikiru Adepoju who used talking drums to win 4 Grammys should be there, not Davido with only a nomination. My friend, I said the NEW Nigerian sound that has done what Nigerian music has NEVER done before - enter American mainstream and played constantly on their radio. Fall is the first such song to become wildly popular over there. |
Music/Radio › Re: Nigerians Have Bought The American Market - Ghanaian Music Executive (video) by PoliteActivist: 3:47pm On Nov 18, 2023 |
Raskimonojendor: It's in no particular order. Sade Ade, Ibadan born cracked the American market long before Davido was born. I said the NEW Nigerian sound. Fall is the first such song to become wildly popular over there. Also, Sade was not a Nigerian musician in the sense Davido is. She left Nigeria for good at age four! |
Music/Radio › Re: Nigerians Have Bought The American Market - Ghanaian Music Executive (video) by PoliteActivist: 3:39pm On Nov 18, 2023 |
Raskimonojendor: The grammy code has been cracked for a while.
Grammy Nominations and Wins:
Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel, a k.a Seal - win
Sade Adu - win
Hakeem Seriki (Chamillionaire) - win
Olalekan Babalola - win
Sikiru Adepoju -win
Kevin Olusola - win
Babatunde Olatunji - win
Angélique Kidjo - win
Burna boy (Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu) - win
Sunday Adegeye (aka KSA)
Seun Kuti
Femi Kuti
Tems (Temilade Openiyi) - win
Wizkid (Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun) - win
Ayra starr (Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe)
Olamide
Asake (Ahmed Ololade)
Davido (David Adeleke) So, how come you put Davido last when he is the FIRST to crack American market with this new Nigerian sound (that has combination of pidgin and even vernacular) |

mascot87: You have no idea what you are talking about. If you are not a loan shark agent then I hope you fall into there trap one day then you will know what's up What I'm saying is, someone like me for example, I'll NOT take the loan if I'm not sure I can pay it back. I'm sure most people are like that. Your advice is good, but for someone to go to all that trouble and do all that work, they must know in advance they likely won't be repaying the loan as stipulated |
Business › Re: Digital Loan Sharks: Shaming, Recovery Techniques Pushing Nigerians To The Brink by PoliteActivist: 2:36pm On Nov 18, 2023 |
mascot87: That is why I want them to know so they learn from experience Only scammers who have no intention of repaying the money in the first place  , will go to all that trouble |
Business › Re: Digital Loan Sharks: Shaming, Recovery Techniques Pushing Nigerians To The Brink by PoliteActivist: 2:24pm On Nov 18, 2023 |
mascot87: The secret of loan shark is very simple. Before you borrow money from any loan app company, MAKE SURE you take off all your phone contact and store them in a different phone. Make sure you have FAKE contacts on the phone you are installing the loan app. Make sure you have fake phone contacts on the phone you are installing the loan app
Make sure you have fake phone contacts on the phone you are installing the loan app 
Please take that information seriously. Don't keep your original contacts on that phone you are installing that loan app. That's is the only way they can blackmail you. A word is enough for the wise Only one flaw in your advice: when people borrow the money, 95% have no intention of defaulting - it just later turns out that way. So why would they be doing all this?? |
Crime › Re: Who Said Oshole And Money Ritual Is Not Real?? by PoliteActivist: 1:59pm On Nov 18, 2023 |
blueAgent: That's why I said earlier, there are rules that guide both worlds, God had designed it so.
An occult man, has to work with set rules for him to operate.
Where the rules does not permit, nothing can be done, so India and Nigeria might be powerful nations spiritually, but there powers cannot bend natural rules or laws set by God. Hence they cannot use , spiritual power to outplay there opponents. Even when they apply spiritual ability it would be in areas that the rules are the least resistant. Like I said, it seems people's brains stop working the moment juju or spiritual is mentioned. Tell me ANYTHING else you'd not say is WAYO if you were told this is how it worked: it does not work with things that can be easily verified, it does not work with things that can be easily demonstrated, it is not repeatable by other people obeying same rules (it only works with baba), it does not work where it is most beneficial (as in winning at sports or becoming rich nation), it does not work when it is observed. It only works in things like "good luck", or people can disappear or become bulletproof only when nobody is watching and they later tell it as story! Anything is possible; nobody is saying juju is not real, but people should also use their God-given common sense! |

What I TOTALLY don't understand is HOW the government allows this!!!!!!!! It is human nature to take offered loans. It is also human nature to default on loans we thought we could pay back. They're taking advantage of that - and only the government can stop them!!!! |

Don't have to watch video to tell you why... It is biology, it is instinct. The best way to assure survival of some of their genes is to sleep with different new women, not be stuck with one woman. So once they've slept with us, our value goes down for them even if only slightly (because they have already gotten us "pregnant"). They didn't plan it that way, it's how they are wired - instinct, biology |
Crime › Re: Who Said Oshole And Money Ritual Is Not Real?? by PoliteActivist: 10:54pm On Nov 17, 2023 |
blueAgent: True.
But that does not, change the fact that ritual and magic exist.
There rules for the physical and spiritual worlds. All I know is that despite all the juju wey full India and Naija, the heavyweight champion of the world is a guy who always says "I want to thank my Lord Jesus.." Be suspicious of anything that only claims to work sometimes or only works when things cannot be easily demonstrated or observed! |
Crime › Re: Who Said Oshole And Money Ritual Is Not Real?? by PoliteActivist: 5:13pm On Nov 17, 2023 |
blueAgent: Yeah. I agree with you to an extent, but you have to understand that, what the ritual does is to open one's heaven or clear one's way spiritual hence bringing favour and luck to a person. Mind you, am never an advocate for ritual money, but I hate when guys who claim woke deny that spiritual things exist. It's just that it seems people's brain stop working once they hear spiritual or ritual. They never ask questions like, how come Nigeria and India who carry spiritual for head are two of the poorest nations. 9 of 10 world's richest are from US, how come they are not from Ogun state?? Is US most spiritual? How come India and Nigeria are not tops in boxing, tennis, sports? How come people don't use juju to get atm pin numbers, get into banks, bypass immigration, get through airports with drugs, etc. They NEVER ask any questions like these. Just saying |
