Elebiju: oh!here comes another naija wannabe,u can only be black u can never be a Nigerian,u can't possess the spirit.

HAH: Somalia too are very lucrative to invest infact they do better than Nigeria in the piracy sector.

Bull shit may be KPMG is talking of bunkering in that case there is no place like Nigeria.

Where is leventis, where is liver brothers, where are the textile industries in kano and kaduna.

Power alone cannot allow you invest and compete with imported goods talkless of the rampant insecurity in every part of the country no thanks to boko haram, Mend,massob,opc, kidnappers etc etc

We all wish Nigeria to be great but the present realities go in a parallel way with genuine investment.

my friend... With all due respect, u are a retärd

[quote author=i.]to me the comparison is faulty, becuase the two songs are for different generations(if i may put it that way).
african queen during its time was a trailblazer, a pathfinder, a leader that paved the way for the likes of oliver twist to be celebrated now.
it was african queen hat brought mainstream support for the nigerian music industry. hell it was the very first song played on mtv base africa.
it mught not have won accolades like oliver twist but you should understand that there is a decade between the two songs.
i think african queen should be commended for leading the development of the music industry as we see it now.
well as for oliver twist, i want some more.....
the song as gone places...(just saw pitbull's version) and yes it was on the charts, so it is more internationally aclaimed . but do not compare it to a song that is ten years older than it.

african queen is the pioneer of modern nigerian music.
oliver twist is the result of ten years growth in the music industry.
so do not compare[/quote]lovely

mich2012: You lack reasoning. I am arguing with you and you want to force me to align to your baseless side? You must be a fool.
Argue constructively and show me you've got some sense.

go and enjoy ur butt hurt

Jarvis: best artist not best song....we re talkin abt songs here!!!

african queen is popular in africa and never won any international award apart from africa ..

Afam4eva: SO those awards are not awards okwa ya? Did D'banj win any of those? Do you know that Kora awards was the biggest award in Africa at the time?

so should i start naming awards that my artist friend won in kenya and namibia as an international award?

[quote author=Ejiné]She looks like a lesbiian Winona Ryder now [/quote]it takes a les to recognize the other

Afam4eva: He won it as best African act which is an award for his culminated efforts and not just because of Oliver twist. Which awards did he win for Oliver twist specifically. African queen won numerous awards.

okay gimme international award that african queen won (let start from mtv) upward .... and please dont gimme ghana music award or kora

Afam4eva: I think it's unfair to compare both songs cos they were not released at the same time and they're not the same genre of music. When 2face released African thing, it was the hottest thing and was popular throughout the world especially in countries with a lot of Black/African people. It was even used for a Hollywood movie. It's also kind of timeless. Oliver Twist on the other hand was not as popular as African queen in Nigeria but was popular nonetheless. It was also popular in the UK and this was made possible by some Nigerians living there. There's a difference between UK(sorry LOndon) and europe. That it was a hit in the UK does not mean it was a hit in other European countries. Somehow somehow, i think i will give it to African Queen cos it lasted longer and i collected more awards.

african queen myt have put nigeria on the map no doubt .... but oliver twist beats african queen hands down when it comes to recognition... do u even know how many languages they have translated oliver twist to? same oliver twist won dbanj so many major awards too also used in a movie (eastenders) .... Do u know that "no time" by psquare is more popular in europe than african queen ever was? let alone oyinye by psqaure

crusufixo: Please tell me which international award oliver twist has claimed as compared to african queen. Of which the lyrics of oliver twist is not one to be proud of as compared to that of african queen.oliver twist is just not comparable to african queen. But then, both artiste represented naija wella.

mtv world music award 2012/2013
it also gave dbanj best african artist 2012/13

mich2012: FYI, I have lived and visited all major EU countries.
Must you descend so low? I won't come here to banter words with you cos you ain't even fit to be my shoe shiner.

stop ranting and accept the bitter truth he told u


stop arguing like a toddler ... being to all major EU countries doesn't make Infallible... u cant know every latest thing happening there except u want to

[quote author=Okija_juju]My Son!! The answer you are looking for, even the gods dont have it!

Try Synagogue Church of all nations!! [/quote]

mich2012: Which Europe? So cos a few peeps know the song in the UK, you have generalized it to Europe? Do you live in any EU country? Pls, no one knows D'banj and his "Twisted Oliver". Tuface's african queen can not be compared to any other naija song any day at least from popularity side of view.

choi few people knew it in uk? and it made it to top 9? it was played on popular tv series in uk, dont forget the same song was used to advertise a popular brand of alcohol in the same uk that u said few people knew it there ..what about all the clubs that banged the song .... go and check youtube view compared to african queen ...smh........... u cant even compare ordinary african queen to top of the world

oliver twists beats african queen hands down (i dont even know about african queen until i get to nigeria)

how many people knows african queen in europe like oliver twist


u cant even compare african queen with onyinye by psquare and rickross

african queen ke?

[quote author=Table Leg ]You people should chill the fu....ck out
How much is 1.5million dollars that NFF is crying and wailing about?
CAF has not said they won't pay, they will .... Prize monies are not always paid up almost immediately after a competition/tournament in most cases ....
Maybe the fuc...ktards at NFF and people like you should flip the coin and see it inwards too ... It is there, the same NFF crapping about, do they keep their own house in order?
Do they pay salaries or allowances on time? NO![/quote]so becos NFF is bad and doesnt pay salary on time, CAF should also do the same? like seriously how much is 1.5million that caf cant pay on time compared to the amount they made during nations cup

Afam4eva: How much is $1.5 million dollars sef that caf is finding it difficult to pay? I think it's high time Isa Hayatou left CAF. He has not brought in any innovation in that body for decades and he wants to die there. Is that his father's village? How can a body as big as that that governs football in Africa be paying a measly 1.5million for winning the nations cup when players are being signed for a big as $50million.

na there way ... u forgot paul biya self wan die there .... but seriously caf is nothing but a disgrace to africa and its high time hayatou leave for someone with vision

Abrantie GH: You didn't want to pay them viewing rights now you want to collect.

u dey craze .... we should pay 4billion for 235 million abi?

[quote author=Table Leg ]What do you want your Govt to do?
Go and blow up the CAF head quarters or what? Do you have a brain at all?[/quote]his brain is on reverse

henchamb: ONLY 1.5 million dollars, brought men from 16 countries together to xchange body odour and pitching countries against one another. mtscheew. I can even host AFCON and pay them. nice making front page after a long time.

noooo.... its dignity and pride .... who cares about the money

mrkels: Abeg this is a disgrace to nigeria oh

Mods remove from frontpage abeg before people would start laughing at us

its a disgrace to caf and africa not nigeria ... after making so much from afcon they couldnt pay just 235million ... shame on caf .. shame on hayatou
