I just checked. Michael Naaa bro! Nothing when she wan tell me. Are you kidding me? I hope her husband gets a DNA done asap because that breakfast dey cook!

When the story broke out and she was trying hard to explain, I knew something was off. Her previous comments about her marriage did not help either.

Omo make dem two just forget about their careers. Mike is definitely losing that job, the pressure and distraction will be too much for R. Kraft and the Patriots.

Semid4lyfe, from your post you proved what I have always suspected – you have a 'weird' taste in music too like me. You even follow Johnny's Room Live? Only real fans get up to speed with him at that level. Great!

It's unfair to lump Burna Boy and Wizkid with the horde of talentless, producer-assisted artistes so I won't do it.

I suppose I just want to see artistes like Johnny Drille at the very least enjoy the same commercial success as the others.
Johnny is who I rate as highly as Jon Bellion and The Weeknd, and his covers of their songs during the Lockdown will make you ditch the original.
Case in point, his cover of Jon Bellion's "All Time Low" during the Lockdown will give you goosebumps.
He can hold the crowd and audience as much as Passenger does.

I'm glad Tems made it out and gets appreciated by a global audience for her talent. I wish Johnny made it out. I wish Praiz made it out in 2014 before it was too late, banking on his out-of-this-world cover of Rihanna's "Stay" (which is better than the original, in my opinion).

I wish Blessing Tangban (who has one of the purest, delicate vocals you'll ever hear) made it out yet she rots in near obscurity.

Nigerian politicians are very lucky walai lol..

Seeing that picture pains me

I didn't even know what to write, when I saw it

raumdeuter:
As in what angle to even say

Who thought about the concept that its a good idea

How they thought of putting the picture of the governor around the Strait of Hormuz was a good idea
How will they display it like their Kwankwansiya comrades

Believing it was done by political opponents is more sensible than thinking someone actually felt its a positive thing

How low can we go?

Make my wife, mama or sister come back house dey happy say dem dash am pant for campaign rally?

They are indirectly saying the people have no common sense. Just give them anything and they'll be happy

MorataFC:
Thank God I’m not a politician.
Because I’m just imagining a scenario where my wife attends a political rally, then gets given pants as a souvenir, and then gets picked to hold it up and pose for pictures for the whole world to see as if she won a grand prize
Honestly, I can’t even predict my reaction when she comes back home.

Osinbanjo was who I originally supported in 2023 but when he didn't clinch the APC ticket, I pivoted to Peter Obi.

And Osinbanjo would have made a damn good president, but he couldn't cross the primary hurdle.

With how PBAT dey move, I have this feeling that the way people go rejoice when hin kpai go loud pass when Buhari mud.

Kashimawo.

I do not have a weird taste in music. My taste of music is eclectic, and I have a taste for good music as defined by my ears which cuts across many genres. I like country, rock, afrobeats, gospel worship, contemporary gospel, R & B, Juju, Fuji, roots reggae, dancehall reggae, pop, soul etc.

There was a time, I was stuck on Enya, Another time it was Yanni,. Later it was Kenny G. Another time Phil Collins. Another time Simon Webbe. Musiq soulchild. Indigineously, I've been through phases with Fela, King Sunny Ade, Sir Shina Peters, Chief Field Marshall Echo Toikumo, King Robert Ebizimor etc

I also like many of the popular tunes from our popular artistes. I also have opinions that I'll drop, and many peeps go disagree, and be like this guy no sabi music jare. You get the point.

Where we differ is your elevation of alte artistes and sounds over afrobeats and afrobeats artistes., and the fact that I understand consumer behaviour and know why the industry is skewed towards afrobeats.

See, make we no dey forget say this music thing na career, a poverty escape route for many of these artistes. So to quickly blow in Nigeria in this streaming era, these artistes gats jump on the dominant, trending and danceable genre which is afrobeats. Doing alte music won't blow any artiste in Nigeria. In the current Nigerian music space, commercial success = afrobeats.

I respect and rate Johnny Drille highly. Pure performer. I have seen dozen of videos of his Johnny Room live performances,,and I am always blown away by the ambience and his performances.

By the way, I never said Burna and Wizkid were not talented. I was only referring to their voice quality and vocal dexterity. Remember, I said it takes talent to make a hit song, and these guys get them plenty in their repertoire, and have remained relevant for years which is a difficult thing to do.

All those other guys, Praiz, Capital Femi, Bez etc wey you dey always namedrop, they should stay true to their craft, continue in their alte lane with their loyal fanbase and continue to wallow in obscurity or jump on the afrobeats bandwagon if dem want commercial success. There is no other way.

Same here. I supported Peter Obi for President in 2018 before Obidient was a thing. But only PYO could have made me change my mind. The President Nigeria never had.

Fayemi was another alternative I have explained in the past.

Training for Manchester 10km race in 6 weeks with aims of completing in 55 to 60 mins which is 5.30-6.00min/km pace.

My training consists of three 4.3km tempo runs per week during my work lunch-break alongside once a week sprints of 800m x 4 when I'm working from home. Trying to juggle this with weight training 4 times a week and 3 times a week football. Then every two weeks I do a long recovery run (about 10km) on a Saturday morning when I drop kids off for dancing lessons. I actually planned 14km (1/3rd marathon) on my recovery run this morning but my hip seize up at 8km. Make I just respect my age and stop it here.

Things are happening in Mali. I hope the govt holds

If Mali falls more terrorists armed with weapons heading down south

Spy360:
I also supported Peter Obi but was almost convinced Osinbajo will clinch the APC primaries being VP and feeling that most Nigerians have common sense.

I even didn't plan to vote in the 2023 elections because I was like whichever of the two wins we will be fine

An election where PDP had Peter Obi and APC had Yemi Osinbajo would have been glory days

You can make time for anything you enjoy, you just have to be efficient with it.

Lunchtime run is just 21 mins, add another 19 mins for shower and change and it's the same 40 mins you use to consume lunch that Mrs SemiD packed for you. I don't eat breakfast or lunch. I pack 2 bananas in the morning that sees me through till dinner.

Nigerians spend too much time on travel, food prep and religious activities. Travel you can't avoid but the other 2 can be cut down to almost zero. I have this theory that any society without fast food is unproductive. Chinese can cook you a meal from scratch in 5 to 10 mins, even Ghana will throw shitto on some carbs and food will be ready. I use Ghana method of shitto on potatoes etc during the week so once I get home, food will be ready in 5 mins then I can go play football.

Most of my weight training in the week is done in 20 mins before work. If you have the education, with compound dumbbell exercises, you can do all 3 exercises for 3 sets of 10 for every major muscle group in the upper body within 15 mins (shoulders, chest, biceps, triceps, lats and back). I try to do these on weekdays in the morning before work, then do 2 major sessions on Saturday and Sunday when I have more time.

The other thing Nigerians spend major time on is religious activities. At least 1/4 of the weekend spent on church etc with all the dressing and travel. I send my kids to church to learn good morals while I use the time for my Sunday session. I have been in gym since 8.30 am this morning and would be home by 11am, same time preacher is just starting his sermon in most churches.

Is that the standard protocol?
