TMKsouth: SA is indeed a powerhouse of African music but that doesn't mean it's the only one. The fact it's not recognised in Nigeria is testimony to the fact you're a one-genre country (autotuned afrobeats).
All Nigerians into rap acknowledge SA is the African champion, House, amapiano, R&B, Gqom, afropop, choral, opera, orchestral, etc. Nigeria is limited to afrobeats.
I've seen Nigerians frolicking around SA djs and shooting videos in SA instead, I don't know what you're talking about. Right now Nigerian artists are jumping on the amapiano bandwagon to remain relevant coz amapiano is next global phenomenon (and yet u say SA is not a powerhouse - I laugh in Xhosa )
Cassper Nyovest was referring to how your music is marketed - I mean really, if South Africans wanted to be Nigerians u would see more of us on your streets instead of the other way round. Burna is the one who wants to be South African. He swore he would never set foot in SA until we apologized for xenophobia, but weeks later he was booked for a concert in SA without any apology been issued. Then South Africans objected to his presence in the country and got his concert cancelled for not apologising to South Africans first . A few months later Burna was singing in Zulu to appease South Africans. That's levels right there bro, show some respect
'Nigerians are jumping on amapiano to remain relevant' s
Stormzy, Burma boy and cassper were all at the old Trafford yesterday. Burna and Stormzy sat at the VIP stand, cassper sat at the regular.
After the show, United posted burna and Stormzy as famous people at the stadium, still no cassper. Do you know why ?? South African musicians are not relevant.
Yes a couple of Nigerian musicians might have used amapiano beats some months back, but not any more. It was like a trend and it's past now.

this is Nigeria's best rap song of the past year. Do you know ladipoe?? Well he and nasty c has been selected for best rap song international at the bet. I want to see the best rap song in SA last year.
ChrisKels: I think most of you all doubting peoples ages, do it out of jealousy when you compare their achievements and ages to yours. Dude everything about Moffi is purely verifiable considering his dad was an ex footballer with Vasco Dagama Enugu same as Iwobi's father, so the family was more or less a celebrity family, hence everything about them can hardly go unnoticed.
Now look at Collins Etim a school mate of Moffi, and tell me how old he looks. Mind you, Moffi was only a class ahead of this kid in sec school.
Not all kids were less privileged. Some average families with football crazy parent(s) started seeing soccer matches very early in their lives. Besides that, Youtube no dey work from the part of the world you came from?
there is a player at abia warriors by the name wotlai Daniel. He scored a wonderful goal for them this past season and won goal of the season. He went to my school. He was in ss3 when I was in SS2. He was green house captain. When he goes big I'm waiting to see what people have to say about him.
AkinDS: I had previously quoted an article from an interview she had with the 'Atlantic', in which she spoke about her Camp experience during the Summer Series. She is a naturally shy person and she is eager to learn more about Nigeria. The fact that she opted out of the First Lady Tournament for personal reasons should be respected. In her article, she kinda hinted that she was going thru an identity crisis (through no fault of hers). The Nigerian (and African) kids here in the US, especially the girls, really go through a rough time trying to identify and find themselves (culturally, societally, etc) in this society. I have 3 daughters and I am privy to the different challenges they go through, daily. Fact is that Iffy is a beautiful, intelligent Nigerian girl and we need to support her as best as we can and make sure she feels at home whenever she associates with Nigeria or the Super Falcons. Ditto that with Zogg, Plumptre, Ariyo, Okoronkwo, Payne sisters, Balogun, George, Alozie and all the other young 'Nigerian' ladies in diaspora who want to connect with their motherland. Let them ALL know that they are all very welcome and that they are important members of the Super Falcons! We love and respect their decision.

it's different for Nigerian kids born in the us.
If she was from the UK this would not have been a problem at all.
BeforeJuly: Lmfao i actually believe this project won't see any real growth in the coming years. Circumstances surrounding it's development at the beginning was really shady.
Basically a money siphoning funnel.
who is siphoning the money?? It's not like Nigerian government is pumping money into the project. Those people that have paid real attention the project know the reason why it stalled, eagle hills left.
I can assure u the best neighbour hoods in Nigeria and probably Africa at large is Centenary city. Everything is done on the grove phase 1 now buildings can rise up. In two months time u will see what I'm talking about.
obaaderemi: Ancient Egyptians were not the Arabs you see there today. Much of the places occupied by modern day Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan had dark skinned people.
time and again descoveries from archeologists prove all this claims wrong. Yes they were not Arabs for sure, even today they are still not Arabs.
Thumbs have even been found of Pharaoh's who still had hairs attached. They were not negro hair.
This topic is too boring I don't like discussing about it.
Abohboy: Nobody should be excited until we see actual buildings in progress, there was signing for eagle hills then there was a signing for Buhari tower but no progress so until we see some sort of progress we should just leave this project alone and we still haven't finished our debate or was the information previously listed too much?
I did not see any reason to continue that arguement. You argument was based in conspiracy theories. Ancient Egyptians where not blacks!!! And they were certainly not igbo or Yoruba.
Schemerkhiz: FIFA gives go-ahead for Aisha Buhari Cup
World football –governing body, FIFA on Wednesday provided the Local Organizing Committee with a final go-ahead to stage the maiden edition of the Aisha Buhari Invitational Women’s Tournament, otherwise known as Aisha Buhari Cup. The six-nation invitational is being organized in honour of the name and Office of the First Lady of the Federal Republic, Dr (Mrs) Aisha Muhammadu Buhari.if the agege stadium is not ready by then is there an alternative ?
In a letter dated 8th September 2021 and signed by Gordon Savic, Head of Qualifiers and International Matches, the world body noted it has sanctioned the 15th – 21st September showpiece that holds at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena and Agege Stadium in the City of Lagos, and featuring hosts Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Mali, Morocco and South Africa’s ‘A’ Women teams. “In accordance with the article 7 of the regulations, FIFA is happy to provide official authorization for this women’s tier 1 tournament…we hereby remind the participating teams that the Laws of the Game must strictly be applied to these tier-1 matches.
“Finally, we would also like to draw your attention to the contents of FIFA’s circular no.1735 of 1st October 2020. The strict application of the FIFA’s Return to Football – International Match Protocol (IMP), or an equivalent protocol of your confederation compliant with the said Protocol, is required.”
With this authorization, all is now clear for the commencement of the six-nation showpiece starting on Wednesday, 15th September with the clash between nine –time African champions, Super Falcons and the Female Eagles of Mali at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan.
Abohboy: So the Arabs that only came to prominence in 622AD were teaching the Africans who were bilding monumental structures over 1400 years before them in 2000BC?
Africans conquered the Arabs before they came, we were doing these things before Christianity was even made you do realize most of the history of Rome took place before the creation of Christianity and Rome so there's no way either religion could have had an influence on early African empires or on Ancient Egypt.
And how were our herbs shit as you say? Many of them have been proven to be effective and have even been made into pills for medicinal purposes go and read about it yourself.
u know damn well the Egyptian empire did not include sudsaharan Africa.
Xbee007: Fulani are majorly Muslim. In fact, I have never heard of Christian Fulani in my life before.
I have. I dated one during my days at ecwa secondary school. My computer teacher was also Fulani whose family disowned for being fulani and the vice principal academics and Igbo woman was also married to a Fulani christian whose family also disowned him.
Odunayaw: You de whyne yourself. 98% are what? You think you're talking to a novice? They're mostly traditionalists.
I dare say there is almost an equal number of Christians and Muslim in the Fulani community.
they are Muslims sir. Nigeria is not the only. Country that has this problem..
Fulani and dozo tribe in Mali are at war cuz of this. Dozo are mainly traditionalists and they blame Fulani for imposing jihad on them. They are Muslims, the ones in aghfanistan, Syria, Mozambique, Somalia, Mali, etc are all Muslims. Let's stop telling lies to our selves.
I love theo question. The simple answer is that our life expectancy grw from 20-30 to 54. If we stop drinking bad water and living in cleaner cities it's going to increase more.
Abohboy: Because they built upon the knowledge of the Greeks which was obtained from the Africans in Egypt and added to that they also went on to conquer those Africans and take even more of their knowledge they were violent people who stole knowledge and claimed creation of many world wonders when in reality they were built by foreigners.
good!!! So there's were as fierce as mountain lions and also as humble as the Duka(antelope) What ever Africans in this our region knew before the white man came. They probably learnt from the Arabs.
Abohboy: Who is we? And which dark ages? We had herbs to effectively treat malaria and we had factories to produce cloth and shoes, we had water and we had boreholes, we had houses, we had roofs, we had art, we had food, we had metal we had everything we needed to survive and had the Europeans not come we would have progressed a lot better the slave trade was extremely detrimental on the growth and development of Africa and there's a lot of evidence that shows that we were on the verge of a local industrial revolution as colonialism was beginning our industrial revolution likely would have started at the same time as or just a bit after that of the Europeans had slavery not taken place.
brother can I ask you something? Do you know why the Roman empire was so great ??
Odunayaw: But you guys were yapping Islamization and Ethnic domination
don't get it wrong 98percent of this guys are Muslims Fulani and have the agenda of opposing Sharia law in the country. It's not a new thing. Even in Uganda and Mozambique and the rest of the world we have groups like this with twisted religious ideologies. That does not mean that all Muslims support or have this agenda.
Saddamochieng00: So what's more important. Solving issues such as poverty and disease or exploring space? What has decades of space exploration benefitted humanity with. Keep in mind that most of these are falsities and the money was just squandered.
I wish they would just invest this money into poor countries like Nigeria to lift you guys out of poverty.
oooh space exploration would do so much for humanity. Space can play a vital role in growing of of organs, tissues, cells and so many other things which I cannot explain because I do not have detailed knowledge about them and probably even the experts. And that's more reason to keep exploring. If Europeans didn't explore we would have still been in the dark ages and dying before the age of 30 cuz of malaria.
Saddamochieng00: I've provided enough evidence to prove my theory of the earth being flat. The globe brigade failed to disprove my claims and that's why I defeated them in one of the biggest flat earth debate on the internet that lasted for more than a week.
now this is another group that just ruins it for me to. Mostly Americans on the interstellar group on facebook. That's why I'm surprised to see one of them idiots on a Kenya Nigeria thread on nairaland. U see this group and those other people that comment 'The money used on this could have been used to solve poverty, Corona virus bla bla' on an space expolarion post just have a way of ruining it for me too.
my God. I'm Igbo but I just hate it when I come in contact physically or online with an ipob person. They just ruin my mood. Their comments have a way of ruining it for me.
IronGalaxy: They are not thriving. You are a one genre nation
Nigeria has underground entertainment.nmost it the artists u know and that are main stream are based in Lagos. We have underground artists that are very famous in every state that are not as famous country wise.
When it comes to tap and hip-hop. Jos is the hub for rap and hip hop in Nigeria we have artists like ice prince, mI, Jesse jags , jay clipz etc all Jos guys and very famous. They still get more views and plays than with African mains stream musicians.
Abohboy: Wow the city is big can you imagine in just two years they've attracted 45 businsees to set up base in the area and now all i'm waiting for is the commercial and business areas to start coming up, Alaro city should have dozens of spectacular low rises spread across the width and breadth of the city
yes ite seriously impressive, the rate. Tatu city currently stands at over 65 businesses and it began since 2007. The one in Ghana is a lost case just few businesses. I don't think the commercial and business areas would be what they would jump into. Right now the industrial areas is the hot cake. I'm certain that asides ariel foods and hmd that have cometed their factories, other businesses like kenol, rosette, Sana, stadium,mantrac,universal homes,rungas, loatsad etc have workers on ground in various stages of construction of theirs.
Next move would be residential I don't think any commercial business would want to move into an empty city for now. That side would be the last.
As for low rise buildings all the areas under my blue doodle are low-rise, it's just divided into residential and commercial. The green part is commercial.
Wow. The new video rendevour put up of alaro city is breath taking. I know I argued that tatu city and alaro city are the same thing some while back.
The truth is that the people at alaro looked at tatu and made improvements. I also noticed that bike lanes are not present at tatucity. And the road where the main boulevard road is only a two lane rosd. While that at alaro is a four lane road.
ugo4u: Bandits dey collect better roasting in Kaduna. That attack on the NDA really bruised the ego of not only the military but the entire country, I just pray the tempo is sustained till they annihilate those beasts. Even those ones captured alive should be secretly executed after their organs(kidney, liver etc) must have been harvested and donated to people in need of it(injured servicemen). Infact their corpses(Bandits) should be used as protein supplements for the K-9s in all military formations, any one calling for amnesty for these idiots should also be given the bread of affliction.
nawaooo. Sanctions way we go chop if that one happen.
haekymbahd: That could have been his fate but the fact that just prayed to God at the last minute to save him from dieing nullified all the verse you posted it is either God granted Jesus his wish or not. Showing both Jesus and God have different will. As the hour was approving he changed his mind he didn't want to die anymore so he asked God to save him from death if possible.
Mark 14
34 And He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sad (overwhelmed with grief) so that it almost kills Me! Remain here and keep awake and be watching.
35 And going a little farther, He fell on the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the [[e]fatal] hour might pass from Him.
36 And He was saying, Abba, [which means] Father, everything is possible for You. Take away this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You [will].
Even this puncture your trinity doctrine because if Jesus had the power he wouldn't have died for anyone's sin his hope was totally based on another..
Why must Jesus die when he had completed the assignment given to him?
John 17 3 And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.
4 I have glorified You down here on the earth by completing the work that You gave Me to do
believe me bro, I am doing my best to make logical sense of all the things you people Claim but it does not make sense.
First if jesus escaped why didn't he come out and deny what Paul was preaching in his name, he must have heard.
Secondly, that abraham built the kabba. Abraham lived for thousands of years before Mohammed was born in Mecca I don't see how a mediocre structure like thàt would have survived that long.
Even the Jewish temple Solomon built is no more. 3rdly islam claims that Jesus would return on judgement dayz but to do what?? He was only a messanger and a prophet a man.
And lastly I want to understand what Islam claims is wrong with Judaism?
haekymbahd: why does he need to escape change when he can transform to another person that even his disciples didn't recognize him after the alleged crucifiction not to talk of Romans who had never seen him before..
Jesus asked if it were possible the father should change the ill fate.. Did the father say it was not possible to change the fate?
Moreover, on the cross it according to the cannonicals Jesus question God "My God, My God why have you forsaken me"
Was he expecting God to save him when he knew he suppose to die was it so necessary for him to die so as the faith of christians to not become worthless as Paul claimed?
Did Jesus teach that as part of Gospel? Definitely No
Since he himself had said he had completed the assignment given to him according to John 17 verse 4
I told you the earliest Gospel which is the gospel of mark didn't account for his ressurection it was after other Gospels where written that they completed it have it cannot be reliable the earliest manuscript of Mark stopped at Mark 16 verse 8.. moreover there are variations in the account of ressurection portrayed in the consequent Gospel written.
brother Dan Allah can u not see how stupid this claim is?? First he asked God to save him. Now he didn't escape because he could change to another person. Ok we agree he escaped! What happened next?? He stopped preaching the gospel of Allah ?
haekymbahd: Now let's reason this Jesus preached the gospel while on earth he sent disciples to spread the gospel while alive. Jesus himself was sent to the children isreal but he sent his disciples to gentiles all this happened while he was on earth.
What was Jesus mission on earth it was to preach the Gospel nothing more?
Isaiah 61 1 THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound,(A)
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] [a]and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn
Jesus himself admitted he had completed the assignment given to him by God Almighty while he was not even said to be crucified yet?
John 17 3 And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.
4 I have glorified You down here on the earth by completing the work that You gave Me to do
I beleive this was what Jesus was actually sent to do and that whosoever beleive him will have eternal life. As Muslims I beleive in Jesus as messiah sent by God and not God Almighty himself.
Paul said if Jesus didn't die on your faith as christians is worthless did Jesus make such claim.
On the issue of crucifixion
Now you would agree with me that Jesus didn't write the gospel himself nor any of the disciples of him. Now the Gospels we have today we have cannonicals and non cannonicals but I will only talk about the cannonicals.
The four cannonicals made the claim that Jesus was crucified obviously Paul mut have also gotten the claim since he himself wasn't a disciple of Jesus while on earth so his claims are based on hearsay.
The earliest cannonical gospel which is Gospel of Mark was written around 70+A.D. and the author claimed he got the messages from various witnesses but couldn't mention any particular name nor document he copied from.
The Gospel in the earliest manuscript ended at Mark 16 verse 8 and it didn't account for the resurrection of Christ while the the latter Gospel does hence the Gospel was said to be fabricated to end at Chapter 16 verse 20 and it now accounts for ressurection of Christ after other latter Gospels had been written.
The Quran claimed crucifixion occured but Jesus himself was not the one crucified but another was made to resemble him that every thing written about crucifixion was mere assumptions was this claim actually absurd..
Allah SWT said:
"And [for] their saying, Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah. And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain." (QS. An-Nisaa 4: Verse 157)
Now if we truly look at the event of crucifiction you will realize that 2 individual s name Jesus emerged Jesus Christ and Jesus son of the father (Barabbas) was that Just a coincidence.
Barabbas means son of the father
Mathew 27 16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas.
17 So when they had assembled for this purpose, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to set free for you, Jesus Barabbas (son of the father), or Jesus Who is called Christ?
20 But the chief priests and the elders prevailed on the people to ask for Barabbas, and put Jesus to death.
21 Again the governor said to them, Which of the two do you wish me to release for you? And they said, Barabbas!
22 Pilate said to them, Then what shall I do with Jesus Who is called Christ?
23 They all replied, Let Him be crucified! And he said, Why? What has He done that is evil? But they shouted all the louder, Let Him be crucified!
Whereas before this event Jesus himself had prayed to the father to save but no one knew if the father would save him or not according to the cannonical God didn't save Jesus but Quran said God saved him is that absurd to hear.
Mathew 26 38 Then He said to them, My soul is very sad and deeply grieved, so that [l]I am almost dying of sorrow. Stay here and keep awake and keep watch with Me.
39 And going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire.
Now that the Quran said another was crucified in place of Jesus it now leads us to the question.
Who was crucified was it Jesus Christ or Jesus son of the father (Barabbas) and which is the real Jesus was it just a coincidence that they came up with the same name?
Now it should be clear that not even the Jews crucified Jesus he was handed over to the Romans whom he did not even offend nor knew him physically it was even the thief named Barabbas that offended the Romans why would they even want messiah crucified in place of the thief?
If crucifiction is essential to Christianity as Paul claims why would Jesus even pray to the father to save him in the first place.
I think what we should focus on is what is the actual message Jesus preached
my bro I'm not even going to lie to you. I did not read what u have put up. I only browsed through it.
All of islams claims sound stupid to me. Now Paul didn not only write fake gospels but he also edited the accounts of john, Peter, etc
You need to know Barabbas was no theif or ordinary criminal. Barrabas was not a thief, he was a zealot. If u knew who the zealots where at the time you would understand why the Jews would pick him over Jesus Christ.
Secondly I doubt that the Romans would crucify publicly somebody like Barrabas and the Jews who he was fighting for would not recognise him.
If Jesus Christ needed to be saved he would have fleed the city before he was captured. If it was not God's will to die on the cross he would have fled. Before his arrest he talked about betrayal he prepared for death by having the last supper. And even when they tried to arrest him he did not resist. Even when his follower, Peter, cut of someone's eyes during the arrest he rebuked him and did not make a run for it.
Christianity says he was supposed to die and that was the will of God.
U and islam claim that it was not God's will.
So why didn't he escape?? His arrest was not a suprise.
