Good Evening, Nairaland family, Please i really need your help and assistance , I borrowed 25k three weeks ago from a loan app to take care of a pressing need in the family with the hope that I will get back the money before the time ​elapses and now they have been on my neck with threats here and there , they sent several messages to my contacts telling them I'm a thief and will be arrested

I explained to them I'll pay by month end but it hasn't really been easy on me ,I teach in a small private school and my salary is 14k . I'm honestly down and depressed and I just hope I don't think of suicide because these problems are getting hold of me. Please family I'll really be grateful if you can assist with anything at all. Your 200naira, 500 naira will go a long way for me please .

Dem for give tems next rated

Angelfrost:
That's another angle Boss...

Serious and soulful singers don't get far in this noisy nation!

Who even still remembers Etcetera, Gino, GT Da Guitarman... Naija Sha!

same thing is happening to johnny drille.

Nijah really don't flow with soulful songs.


Simi's new album is actually her best, but almost songs in there are soulful, hence it ismt doing as good as it should.

Go and listen to The Track LOYAL, featuring FAVE.

It should be topping the chats by now, e even without a video for it.

Great Song!

True... I don't know why this nation is so uninterested in Soul!

Angelfrost:
True... I don't know why this nation is so uninterested in Soul!

Its just our state mind and character traits.

Soulful songs are songs u can enjoy alone or with maximum of 1 person.
Nigerians don't like that.

They want the ones they can vibe under sooo much noise and involvement with all sorts of people, passerbys, bus drivers, conductors, hypemen All at the same time.

Every single song on that album na FIRE!!


Well, except for that Attention track. Omah Lay doesn’t sound like himself on that track ra ra! All dem Justin go don give am original Canadian Loud before dem start, not all these 'Canada Dry' (Amnesia) wen the young chap dey used to.

Very good album...above average, you all just had too much expectations!

Vinnie2000:
This Omah Lay is really Talented.

Infact Better than Fireboy and Rema.

But judging from his songs and lifestyle recently, he seems like he is Fcvkking two many Girls and even Sugar Mummies.

This has Affected him badly!

Most Girls/Ladies are DESTINY KILLERS!

WTF! He's no where near Fireboy. What an insult!

EntPublisher001:
Boy Alone Album; A Symphony Of Introspection and Hedonism. Omah Lay is writing about his experience in lyrics. Dealing with his demons, his sensuality, and everything in-between.


No one could have predicted that the boy — Stanley Omah Didia from PH will carry so much of the conversation and plaudits on his shoulders. After his first pandemic dominance in 2020 with viral hit songs like "Bad Influence", "Godly", and "LoLo. Just like a thief in the night, within two years of arrival in the music limelight, the sonorous Nigerian songwriter and musician has been on the frontier of sculpting and oiling the "Afrobeat to the world" move.

Omah Lay has never missed a beat, a step, or any chance to advance artistically — because one consistent thing about him is the uncanny ability of his records to be instant hits. His debut EP "Get Layd" and sophomore EP "What Have We Done" are big testament to this fact.

In Boy Alone, Omah lay runs on the same template, but this time, he reinforces his lyrical dexterity with a fourteen-track session, headlined by the emotive "Attention" and the romantic "Woman" lead singles.

Infused with Omah Lay's signature afro-infused melody, "Recognize" is enriched by his smooth vocals in the intro, “Only the real fit recognize, oh yeah, oh yeah, Only the ship wey believe e no go capsize, How you go look me for eye, say me no dey try?". Concise, but embodies an emotional feeling of the introspective Omah.

On "I", the low-tempo beat comes with a catchy refrain in its hook that amplifies the "suffer suffer no fit me" rhetoric of the track. This track flow is thematically similar to Fireboy's Afar ft Olamide. It's a bright tune.

"Bend You" is a sensual song infused with guitar ticks and the upbeat flow blend as he goes about expressing his lust over a (female) love interest. "take me like a thief in the night" and "Bend you uuuuhhhh, Bend you uhhhhhh, Na you go talk wetin you come do, Uuuhhhhh" are lyrics that hint at assertiveness.

"I'm a mess" is less sensualized and more introspective. Omah begs for clarity as he's clouded by life's bewilderment which has made him indulge in cognac. The lines "Sometimes I’m happy, sometimes I’m sad, I don’t know what’s over me" register emotion. Aided by an electric guitar, this song dwells on the disillusionment that accompanies life.

"Temptations" Chorus is all things bright and beautiful. "My rizzler When I dey down, I roll one, To go back up, Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, My day one, From way back you dey there, You no give up" tells you all you need to know about the track. He sings for his Rizzler — a French brand of rolling papers of tobacco or marijuana rolled to make handmade joints and cigarettes. His companion, as a lonely boy, keeps him high; when he's down. The delivery and the use of innuendos in the song make the vulgarity enchanting.

"Never Forget", "Soso" and "How To Luv" are pure afrobeat singles, while the first is laced with sax tune, the second and the third track is an Amapiano sound laced with guitar ticks and accompanied by wide percussive basslines. Fluidy delivery. His flow on these three tracks gets you lost in the music. A total abdication of free will to a vibration.

"Safe Haven" is a slice of heaven. The choral background voice levitates your mind and soul through the rhythm and flow. Omah Lay's vocal gives goosebumps here. A soulful tune.
"Purple Song" is too chaotic. This track is expected to visualize the album's feeling through the semblance of the album cover colour. The production here is flawed and you can barely hear Omah lay's vocals.

"Woman" is one of the pre-released songs on the album. The song is all you need to know about a track that is centered on post-pubescent romance and movie-like fantasies about undying love. "Everything I do, I do for my woman"

There's a part of the first verse that sounds like he's endorsing reckless unprotected sex. "Anytime I knack/I knack without/rubber band, no rubber band/if I no pull out, she got my back" But who doesn't love good bad boys? That's Omah Lay on this track.

"Tell Everybody" and "Attention" is Omah lay's attempt at spreading his music tentacles outside his continent boundaries by featuring the Nigerian neo-soul singer, "Tay Iwar" and the Canadian Pop and R&B singer "Justin Bieber" respectively.

As an artist with a real chance at pop success, Tay Iwar should be credited for bringing a pop flavour to "Tell Everybody". It's a brilliant record. Although, in "Attention"; Omah lay tried so hard to sound too pop by leaving his rawness where his voice appears to have been autotuned. Justin Bieber's effort in the song is commendable.

With the "Boy Alone" Album, it's a kind of music that takes time to marinate, the first listening, the second listening, and the third listening, you're still trying to immerse yourself into the new Omah Lay. The production on this album cannot match the quality of his EPs. It's no doubt that some sections of his fan base might hold a lingering refusal to move past the brilliance of his debut EPs — "Get Layed"; & "What Have We Done" but this new album will surely push his boundaries and the acceptance of his magic on the album will be gradual.

This is totally trash compared to what oma lay put in 2020 , I downloaded the full album on this same site I was finding it difficult to relate it to his previous songs , the mixing and mastering is horrible, no good beats , even oma lay voice struggling to come out infact 3/10 on production, song writing 4/10 , delivery 4/10 nothing impressive, relatability 2/10 , the boy alone album is a mess , I have to say the truth this is not the oma lay I know he makes good songs but at this point I think he let fame and pride got into his head, the album is wack , no track on this album can even compete with confession, bad influence, damn , Godly , Lolo , you , yeyeye these are hits, manage bend you , understand on the new album the rest is trash why do I say manage bend you and understand, bend you could have been great but the production and delivery is too poor , understand has nice lyrics but then production mixing is poor I don't know why oma lay drop those good mixing producers he worked with on the 2020 songs , did he even played these songs for himself to listen to compare it with previous hits or maybe he was just too relaxed and lazy that's why I respect kizz Daniel man is an OG check out his delivery song mixing beats he got it all .

Well it is very very easy to sit in your comfort zone and criticize a body of work that took that young man thousands of hours to put together.....niggas tell u how to drive ur Benz when they cannot even afford a civic, that's one of Loose kaynon's line and I've have seen his lyrics in reality. Una go come here dey claim Master producers and OG's in d game n u guys cannot even write a single verse...how about you do it if you think you're better. Nonsense. Mind you, his album is doing numbers, he is cashing out, touring round the world performing the so called album u criticize and you are still here on Naira land, broke as usual and still faceless. How about we show love to these guys, help push their numbers and create more platforms for upcoming artistes and stop hating.

He will only get better just like oluwaburna....

Some person listen to that album and said he sounds like he uses one beat same thing they said of asake jokers you people need help;that album is a good start for him he should just need solid promotions some of una go just open mouth waaaaaa !

Apart from mixing and mastering, the album is good

His producer need to tone on deep synths so that his voice can be easily merged with beat.
