I am proud of this woman,  , we all have a message the world is waiting to hear.



Negative images of Africa dominate the news: famine and disease, conflict and corruption. But Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the former Finance Minister of Nigeria, says there's a less-told story unfolding in many African nations: one of reform, economic growth and business opportunity.

This is 'The way Forward' by Sunny Ade and  a host of other musician. Not really so old anyway I think it's a '90 song.


No one has mentioned Papa Kennery Orlando Owoh  - Yellow sisi, Ma pa mi iyawo asiko,
Even Orlando Julius has some good old one- Nana, Ikoko ti o jata
How about our famous evergreen song in Naija- Sweet mother by Nico Mbaga
Yoruba music lover will appreciate the likes of old stuffs from Haruna Isola ( Baba ngani), Ayinla Omowura, Yusuf Olatunji, Ojindo ^{don't mind me na ma granpa cause am}

You can get Jesse Kings album in Naija while you are there now, I got both the audio and the video in the traffic hold-up, the last time  I was there. Maybe when you are back to Clapaham Common I can post you the video. Mishoo has been very sensitive to the richness of entertainment , culture and play of words in the album (kudos).

ok guys, I will do that over the weekend

Hello !

Copycats or not, at least we are copying good ones and by the way from the posters excerpts we have this:

The Apprentice is one of the most globally recognized reality television franchises and the programme has, since it was launched in the US in 2004 by Donald Trump has been replicated in 23 countries of the world.

so we are not the first to cling to it.
Pray we have more good things to copy and utilise productively from the western world.

Desorlah nkorin , Mishoo n ba gbe, Minute na n mi legbe lapakan. Ohun to n dun wa ninu ko ni di ibanuje fun wa o. Nkan ayo na ni a o ma ri o.

Mishoo , you did justice as well.

Segoye , make sure you enjoy yourself to the core in motherland. No place like home pal. The country changes every single secs and I pray the positive changes comes to superceed the negative ones soonest. I have been to Nigeria twice in the last ten months and all has been fun fun fun, except that I made a mistake of been on the Lagos -Ibadan express way on a day the Redeem camp and Mountain of Fire had a programme in one of my visits, I need not kid, I slept over on the road! got into it around 6pm on Saturday and found a way out around 5am on Sunday . It is still part of the fun after missing this madness for years.

nana:
What is the meaning of the ones in bold italics?

ok here we go Nana
Ojo ti omode naro ko ni rin, the milking baby does not start to walk the very first day he attempts to stand upright.
Ojo agun ko la n kanrun. You don't get to touch the skies the very first day you shoot out into lime-light
Bo ba pe titi akololo yio pe baba. Sooner or later the stammerer will succeed in pronouncing baba ( father)  consider a stammerer this way; baaaaa  b b b b a a bab  bbab baba!
Hunrunhunrun ni yio po, o didan ki elede de Oyo. The pig may strut and poke the muds along it's journey but it will definitely reach it's destination.
All meaning that there was a beginning to an end and also an end to a beginning.
cheers

O seun jare Mishoo, O ku ayesi o.
Nana, wetin be dat, tell me you can't read that.
That is yoruba for you in the medium order

Chiori:
He was in Uyo in 2003, hosted by Pastor Abel Damina of Power Chapel. I was there, so it's not hearsay. One thing I noticed about him is that he is more aged than he looks on TV.

That' s true, but what  do you expect, Ron is old . I was opportune to be part of his concert/ birthday last year December (06/12/06) when he turned 62!.
Such a blessed man
