Shopona fire you.

I have no idea. But it unreasonable to hold him in detention indefinitely because he supposedly received funds from the former president to do an assignment, whether that assignment was personal or official.

The issue here is that the EFCC should charge him with a crime or let go , while continuing with their investigations.
They have already violated his fundamental rights and the rule of law.
Even if they charge him with a crime, it cannot stand in a court of law.

Is EFCC interested in actually convicting and putting looters in prison, or just interested in in publicly shaming people they do not like ?

Even Dasukigate, of the EFCC was sincere, is a perfect opportunity to look at how political campaigns are financed in Nigeria.

It is utterly hypocritical to ignore the fact that APC also funded their ascension to.political power by also looting government coffers.
This is the culture in Nigeria.
It's a terrible culture that we should end by sincerity, not by political trials.

Who told you he is being held indefinitely?

Please educate me.

If he feels he is being held illegally, why has he not gone to court to sue the government. He is not an illiterate, is he?

So APC funding the election to power is an excuse to not charge him?

FisifunKododada:
400 MILLION NAIRA for what assignment? Look at the way he said 400 million naira likes its 400 naira. Does Metuh thinks that we are fools? Again Metuh if you are innocent then tell us WHAT you did with our 400 million naira?

Don't mind the fuuktard!

In a country where less than 60% make over N2m a year, a fuuktard is saying he was paid N400m of public funds to do an assignment he would not reveal and he is wondering why he is in custody.

And some bunch of cursed, moronic fuuktards are coming here to defend him.

E no go better for them.

snailspeed:
Stop exposing your ignorance in public. If it was the USA, he would not be in incaceration without trial in the first place. You go school at all?

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

E no go better for you.

Do you know how many Americans are in jail for months awaiting trial, fuuktard?

bros12345:
If you have a case against Metuh, take him to court and convict him. Thats what he is saying. Dont arrest me and then start looking for what I did. Before arresting me, you should have known what I did and gathered your evidences.

A "suspect" is begging you to take him to court.

And you are not taking him to court. It means that you dont have a case against him.

PMB is simply trying to silence all forms of criticism. But its not working. This briggando will eventually be their undoing.

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

So being with N400m of public funds is not doing something wrong?

alcmene:
And where in YOUR STATES are citizens detained without trial nor evidence linking them to a certain crime

Where in YOUR STATES does the president pronounce suspects guilty even without being pronounced so by the court of competent jurisdiction

Where in YOUR STATES do security apparatus kill and maim unarmed protesters as if they are suicide bombers

Why should the EFCC arrest and detain a suspect and then start searching for the appropriate offence to charge him for while the suspect rots away in detention....Is that how they go about it in YOUR STATES

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

E no go better for you.

In the states, if you are in possession of $3m of public money and your explanation is that the crook that gave it to you gave you to do an assignment you will not state, you will see whether your arsse would not be even in Guatanamo, fuuktard!

cktheluckyman:
Olisa Metuh is a true son of Igboland!! I like his bold and unwavering spirit!! Buhari's compromised EFCCC have met their match in him!!

The man would make a mess of these fools in court!! Let the case begin

Look at another cretinous fuuktard!

agabaI23:
He prefers talking in court. Take him to court.

Then he should stop fcking whining because he is heading to jail via a court.

plaetton:
This is very disgraceful.
EFCC is on a blind fishing expedition.
Just throwing nets and hoping to catch stray fish.

This is certainly not how to fight corruption.
The very immature shenanigans if the EFCC almost guaranteed that they would get convictions in a competent court of law, even a bona fide crime has been established.

The president of Nigeria has wide discretionary powers.
Metueh cannot be charged with ba crime for carrying out an assignment for the president.
Now, if 400 is missing from an official account, then the government should investigate who disbursed the money.

This charade is very embarrassing, and makes a mockery of the genuine desire of Nigerians to uproot corruption.

It is a charade?

What "assignment" did he carry out with N400m of government money that he can't publicly state?

Please tell me.

Cretinous fuuktard!

An assignment?

A job?

One that is legal but you can't state what it was about and you got N400m of public money for?

E no go better for your entire lineage.

OlowoB:
I will go straight to the point. I went out with my friend on saturday night(09/01/2016) in a club called Sugar Cube. Infact, anybody who has been to glasgow or stayed in glasgow for at least a year will definitely know this club. This is the club most naija artistes visit anytime they come to Glasgow, Uk.

We got into the club, bought drinks and told ourselves that we should chill till around 1am before we start dancing with the ladies. Immediately it was 1am, we started dancing with the gals, going to the different sections (actually two and 1 VIP) of the club trying to see if we will get any girl to take home. We danced with some white gals, some of them politely, with smile on their faces turned us down saying they are with their guys or they are just there to hang out and dance with their fellow white gal friends.

To the issue at hand, me and my friend still kept on, we insisted, we must see a gal to take home that night after paying £8 each to enter and buying drinks totalling almost £100. We moved ahead and saw two black gals and we decided to help their ministry, got close to them like we have done with other white gals in the club and guess what, they not only turned us down, they walked out of our fronts and hissed while going. I mean these were just average looking gals dancing close to each other, not holding any drinks and we decided to help their ministry. I mean why couldn't they turn us down politely like the other white gals have done? It took the Grace of God in my life and the Visa on my passport to prevent myself from pulling them back and slapping them. (yes i was that angry)

I have also noticed here in glasgow that most of these average looking black gals hardly talk to their fellow guys. Is it that they are looking for white guys cos of visa? but at least still talk politely to your fellow blacks.

Please i have seen many scenarios and heard many of such but this particular incident in the club made me know that most black girls (at least 85%) in glasgow,Edinburgh and other parts of Uk except England specifically London (due to huge black population) are just suffering from inferiority complex and they lack basic ability to reason well.

If you have any similar experience, please share. Some of those gals may be on nairaland.

Teespice:
Sagamite ooooooooo

where are you?

your attention is needed here asap.

Yep.

I have said this repeatedly on NL, yet some would still think I am just attacking Naija girls.

They just feel the need not to only say 'No' but to also humiliate the guy, but when they are past it, they now run about looking for husband, harrassing eligible guys with their usual "why are you not married", "marriage is good o", "it is immature not to be married" etc. Their friends would be trying to flog them by suggesting to a guy that "I have a friend that would fit you".

I am sure even these Nigerian girls were not the finest in the club but they are the ones feeling the need to insult.

Nonsense and alacrity!

OlowoB, when your eye open and you learn after being in the UK for a while, you will learn to mostly avoid these girls. Go for girls that are not black or blacks from Southern and Eastern Africa.

My friends hardly date black girls. Most of my professional friends end up with a white chic from Eastern Europe. Hot ones!

I have been to a black club in London before where there are loads of black girls but the guys just avoided them. No one was stepping. Absolutely fcking no one. The thing I noticed about the club was that most of the black guys there were professional upper class guys. It was not a club in the hood. These kind of guys would not let anyone drag them on the floor. They were there strictly for the black music.

As one of my friends said, he never thought he would see "The Rise and Fall of Black Girls" simultaneously during his lifetime.

Funnily enough I have been to the club you mentioned years ago when a company I worked for sent some of us to Glasgow for some team event. I was the only black in the group, so after going to a bar (playing rubbish music) and my Oyinbo colleagues had gotten drunk, I gave an excuse that I was tired at midnight and heading for bed.

Fcking went outside and asked people where I can find a R&B club, and this club was recommended.

I hit the club as a lone soldier. Being an extrovert, I made friends with some guys and had a ball.

Coldfeets:
Hahaha...

Why do you so much want to make someone believe Ronaldo's gay?

The way I see it, gay or not, it doesn't stop him from being one of the best in the game.

Because he is gay.

Yes, he is one of the best in the history of the game.

EnlightenedSoul:
Lots of folks are like that, tho. Possessive of their views even despite facts and evidence to the contrary.

Not in the manner of Nigerians.

If I was on a Ghanaian forum I would not even be like I am known for here.

The pride of an average Nigerian is a handicap for them. It leads them to feel they have to talk about something even though they know absolutely fuckall about it. They just live and are educated in a culture where speaking (no matter how senseless) is seen as one being relevant.

The education system is all about memorisation and no part of it is about debate, hence they are not used to utilisation of facts and their arguments being challenged.

And when they are caught out, instead of listening and learning, they see someone being right while they are wrong as a complete public embarrassment , so they stick to their stuupid and unreasoned arguments to avoid "the shame".

I let them know that taking such dumb approach would still lead to what the are trying to avoid, "the shame" and "public embarrassment".

Some explore trying to see if they can deviate or stop me by engaging in insulting competition, but I stick with the topic and their humiliation with my notorious repetitive questioning. All my approaches have a reason and are tactical.

After they realise they can't escape it by being defiant, they either run from me or learn to learn when they are in that jam.

They also start learning to think a little before talking and know they need to avoid chatting rubbish when I am on a thread.

I am doing a fcking great job improving this cretins of Nigeria on NL.

I am sure Buhari would soon call me to award me my national honours.

Neymar is probably looking that "don't touch me next with that hand".

If the money was not paid into a SDP account and evidence is shown it was spent on party activities, then you better cough up the money.

Otherwise EFCC should carry his arsse to jail.

The first part is the most important. If he got the money in Ghana-must-go, then he is a criminal.

Corruption in the West exist but is just in a lower and different format. People give their friends, with less competitive bids or capabilities, contracts. They can give them a contract at the right price but after winning and while delivery is taking place, they support changes that increase the cost. Some give their friends/contact contracts, don't collect money, but then later take a board position where they are paid crazy money.

So stop chatting crap and start being a belieber even if this is not Justin.

I said it yesterday night, this is the news today's morning.

Maybe I need to name my contact in the Mirror newspaper that I bribed to write this article to support my argument online with 4Play.

EnlightenedSoul:
Alright. I don't think it's ambiguous at all, but I'll stop myself there. You're showing a little restraint, and that's an interesting twist coming from you. Not a one "cretinous fuuktard" in a while now - I'm a little taken aback

Well, though I restrain myself a bit, I'm not above cursing like a sailor or dishing out insults with a play on words in response to vitriol, but it's completely without emotion. I'm not one to be easily moved, and I really DGAF about insults. A lot of the time, I'll ignore it completely, preferring to focus on the argument instead, and then press your buttons overtly and covertly throughout the course of the "debate" as the spirit leads, for the fun of it. Though I consider myself "nice", I'm sorta used to people sometimes taking offense times I speak plainly as well, which is why I wondered if you were offended. It's the curse of the blunt-natured.

Happy New Year, Sagamite.

I actually show restraint all the time.

When I go haywire, I do it with a lot of thinking.

I understand Nigerians too well and there is a reason I go haywire on them. It gets the points across and it gets it across faster.

They are so boisterous and egoistical, they will not accept facts in a debate. But when you can highlight and attack their stupidity, they quickly accept it to stop their public humiliation.

They don't like looking stuupid. That is why they try to always give opinion anyway but they are too daft to think before giving it.

I rarely get emotional when I am doing it. It is all tactical and done with control. I even adjust in the midst of doing it, if reason dictates that is necessary.

Happy New Year to you too.

I can assure you, in future, if private investors come and give us bullet trains that move from Lagos to Maiduguri in 3hrs and build a network of fast rails across the country, that can ensure a man living in Ibadan can conveniently work in Lagos or Minna because the journey by train is just 35mins, Nigerians will turn around and protest that the company is milking them dry the moment they know it is making money. They would never look at the transportation and opportunity to access cheaper accommodation and de-congestion of Lagos and other major cities it has solved. They will call on their government to fine it or shut it down, if the company is South African, they may even attack her Nigerian staff.

Shallow thinking people. I do not know how we got here, but the biggest job government has to do is massive reorientation, seriously , majority of Nigerian brains needs reformatting.

Thanks, man.

Don't mind the fuuktards and product of a failed education system in our country.

All they know is "Us vs Them", "I am being marginalised" and "Get rich with minimal effort and minimal provision of quality".

The biggest job the government has to do is to shoot a lot of them as many are no more save-able.

I didn't respond to this earlier due to lack of time but I have to say much of your comments add no substantive value to the debate.



This is a debate prompted by my claim that the 2016 budget may be fueled by debt -a claim already admitted by the politicians you are desperately defending. A debate about a budget hinges on data not a recourse to argument by assertion. This is not a debate about philosophy or theory but about facts.

Sticking to argument by assertion simply means that the facts belie your argument but that you don't want to be exposed as a chump.

And your point is?

Did I not agree that it would be fueled by debt?

4Play:
There are usually peripheral differences between Labour and Conservatives and the GOP and the Democrats. You have to be utterly naive or hopelessly partisan to claim that either party represents a great leap in competence and that outcomes will be substantially different under either. If that were the case, the less competent party would effectively be wiped out by the electorate. By the same token, anyone who asserts that a GEJ or a Buhari government is oodles better than the other is expresssing sophomoric judgement.

Nonsense!

There are fundamental differences between them (especially GOP and Democrats).

In the UK, politicians that are able to go with public mood are usually pushed forward by the dominating party elites to make themselves electable, hence you have some convictionless cretin calling himself "Centre Left Right Right Left Zombie" emerging as leader. The electorate is not as militant as the US, so they can get away with it. The electorate became a little militant recently and we got Corbyn. A definite Left. The type you can never see in Tories.

In the US, they are polar opposites. Trying to impose their will on the nation especially when the opportunity occurs to select a Supreme Court Justice, since that means if the party is not even in power, they have someone aligned to their thinking in the Justice systems to protect their values. Opposite parties try to use the Congress to moderate the incumbent.

Stop chatting crap that GEJ and Buhari are not different and would not have different policies. That is beyond sophomoric and naive.

You can as well chat crap that GEJ administration is not different from the Vatican administration.

So yam eating today continues in earnest but you still maintain confidence that this government marks a monumental positive change from the previous one? Who is in power today - APC or PDP? Is there any evidence that the anti-corruption fight extends to the former? So, of course yam eating will continue in earnest. Today's yam eater has no need to put up a fight as the government is not actually demonstrating the slightest inclination to tackle corrupt officials under its watch.

When you go and learn about how change/transformation occur, you can come back and stop arguing blindly.

This is beyond naive for me to even see it as a sensible point.

Your point about change as something that happens as if one uses a magic wand is extremely naive. There are numerous materials out there to educate you on big change (i.e. transformation).

4Play:
This is utter hogwash. If it is known that the NSA and accomplices stole $2.1bn then that is sufficient to charge them for the theft. A prosecutor need not know where the money is now, what is sufficient for a charge is to demonstrate that the sums in question were illegally removed which, if they know this is what happened, they would do so. If there is no charge for those sums, it is because they do not know that those sums were stolen or are not serious. In either case, one cannot come on the internet and assert as a matter of fact that a sum was stolen, based on Naija media reports, when evidence that a sum of that magnitude was stolen is not extant.

Stop chatting crap!

Known by who?

You?

Try to understand the difference between "not accounted for" and "stolen".

What was announced by the government was that $2.1bn was unaccounted for and illegal spending.

Something not accounted for can eventually be proven later that it was stolen, but is not evidence you take to court as prove it was stolen. You first need to get people accountable to come and explain where the unaccounted for is or why it is not showing in the books.

When the government then show where these monies went or has completely disappeared, then they have evidence of illegality they can take to court.

What did I tell you earlier? Did I not say:

"You have absolutely no clue the list of other charges that would come and the combined figure it would come to."?

Was it not reported recently that Falae's party collected some sums?

So, mate, you have no jackarse clue what more charges are coming to think you have grounds to say $2.1bn was an exaggeration and only a few million dollars is missing.

4Play:
Sagamite, please what is the name of this director who disclosed to you that 6% of a UK government department's budget is lost via corruption?

You seem to extrapolate from your mystical director's claim to the UK as a whole meaning that 6% of the £743bn UK budget, or £44bn is lost via corruption. I cannot even make such an outlandish claim in polite circles without people worrying about my mental health. I can understand if you are talking of a department like DFID and our foreign aid budget but that is because of the recipients of the foreign aid budget and is no reflection of the UK's susceptibility to corruption.

Please don't be moronic nor ask me moronic questions.

I should what?

I should tell you the name of a Director/Client I have worked with because I am debating you online about corruption in Nigeria and you don't believe what I said?

How fcking reetarded can that be?

So you moronically think I made it up to win this argument?

If I told you the name, it would make it more true to you?

Or you plan to run to Westminster to ask the Director "Did you tell a man from Sagamu this"?

What crap made you ask me to disclose such to you?

You think you are "exposing me for making it up"?

Mate, don't be silly. Here is the same point I made 2 years ago saying the same thing well before you could even dream of this argument.

http://www.jarushub.com/sagamite-how-to-tackle-nigerias-infrastructural-challenge/

I made it up then, so I could argue with you 2 years later?

Mate, I would suggest you keep quiet about things you don't know.

Even in the fcking UN, there is corruption. You think all the Transparency International Index that countries like the UK are not top in were manufactured?

Let me tell you a fact, when there is a level of high public procurement, there is a high chance and opportunity for corruption. You think when the BBC spent £100m on an IT system they abandoned without any use, you think there would not have been some level of corruption there? You think when Vince Cable sold Royal Mail for peanuts to primary investors and it appreciated by 37% in 24 hours which these investors then sold on to secondary investors there was no corruption?

Corruption in the West exist but is just in a lower and different format. People give their friends, with less competitive bids or capabilities, contracts. They can give them a contract at the right price but after winning and while delivery is taking place, they support changes that increase the cost. Some give their friends/contact contracts, don't collect money, but then later take a board position where they are paid crazy money.

So stop chatting crap and start being a belieber even if this is not Justin.

Let's go back to your original statement - Mate, Nigeria had a previous budget of about $28bn. Of which (conservatively) at least 40% was being looted.
. This is a shocking display of ignorance. If at least 40% of the FG budget is stolen, it means that Nigeria subsisted on at most $16bn. That the genuine FG spending committments - debt servicing, FG workers who include soldiers and policemen, actual fuel subsidies, e.t.c - is covered by only $16bn. Sagamite, if you actually believe this, this is an absurd display of bloviating ignorance.

This is what irritates me about Nigerians and why these debates are a waste of time. People believe that IBB stole $12.3bn of Gulf War windfall when nothing of that magnitude was generated for the period in question. Fighting corruption does not mean one has to believe or make outlandish claims.

What utter crap!

Why are you surprised?

Is it not the same Nigeria where people are looting the money meant for soldiers to fight Boko Haram?

Is it not the same Nigeria where pensioners queue up for days because they cannot get their pension?

Is it not the same Nigeria where some people were convicted for stealing N32bn of Police Pension?

Is it not the same Nigeria where Tafa Balogun looted $150m of Police Pension?

Is it not the same Nigeria where NIMASA claimed to have bought 400 acres (2 hectares) of land in a remote VILLAGE in Delta State (Not Lagos) for N13bn (something that should not have exceeded 600m at the worst scam)?

Not knowing these is what is blowjobiating ignorance.

Even if the example of a Nairalander and bid process I gave in my last post did not register enough in your brain, I am sitting right here with my MAMA from Sagamu right now and we were discussing one of my Aunties that has retired for over 10 years and has still not got her entitled gratuity.

10 FCKING YEARS!

Her pension took 5 years to be paid and she is just finding out now that payment actually commenced 2 years earlier. So for 2 years, someone was pocketing her pension.

They pocketed her gratuity and pension.

You think it is only her such is happening to in Nigeria?

As I said earlier, the Nairalander who's Boss' are looting her allowance is extremely well connected in Nigeria, and that is happening to her. What do you think would happen to the gazillions from unconnected, $1 a day families?

Mate, stop chatting crap!

Siddon there and believe it is impossible for 40% of the budget being looted.

4Play:
You are being gratuitously obtuse. Take the analogy you have given, how the hell does that even rebut my point? Read again, slowly if that helps, the summation of my view: Given present revenue generation, it is unlikely revenue generation in the coming months of 2016 will be high enough to justify the revenue projections made in the 2016 budget. What that means is 2016 is too early for revenues to increase sufficiently as projected. 2016 starts from 1 January 2016. Revenues need to be showing improvement already, not in a year's time, for the revenues projection to make any sense. If it is too early for revenues to increase as you acknowledge, what the flipping hell have you been arguing about all this while?

O tu blow grammar si (And he continues blowing grammar).

You were chatting crap with your argument that you know for certain.

There is a difference between "certainty" and "unlikely". Never again say you are certain about the future.

Secondly, Nigeria depends on Oil. Its price is volatile, not gratutucikolopious. Don't be so certain. You can argue unlikely and that is a matter of opinion.

4Play:
And yet, yam eating continues in earnest and revenue remains as dissapointing as before so your faith is not based on anything concrete. Talking of these competent individuals, does that include Kemi Adeosun who managed your state's finances for 4 years culminating in it requiring a bailout? Did Buhari not have this good intent when he ran PTF and NNPC and was military president? Yet, all previous stints in office were marked by grotesque incompetence.

You are assuming the premise which remains unproven - there is little evidence that Nigeria is experiencing positive transformation.


Do you seriously think that a good defence of Buhari is that he has no policy and was slow to appoint ministers? It is another example of why he is just another inept politician and is a repeat of what he did the last time he was president.

You state there is not enough data for investors to work with, you are somewhat closer to the truth. There is nothing investors can see happening now which will give them confidence that this government marks a paradigm improvement on the previous one. Nobody can accuse the investor community of being wailing wailers. Their actions constitute an objective vote of no-confidence based on what has transpired so far. Only those who are engaging in wishful thinking, who are disingenuous or are operating under some ethnic bias invest much hope on any set of Nigerian politicians without concrete evidence of much improvement.


You cannot announce plans to borrow unprecedented amounts and justify it by reference to data that you claim is bogus. You can't tell lenders to lend you more money whilst maintaining that your financial position is bogus.

The solution is to reduce borrowing drastically until revenues actually improve and until you have reassessed Nigeria's GDP figures. You cannot go on a borrowing spree based on bogus figures from the GEJ era and expect me to accept that this regime and the previous one are not birds of the same feather.
I do not think they need to lock up critics. But if as you state criticism is impeding their work, it may be of assistance if they did that.

Your posts here are a classic illustration of the chump tendency which my profile signature hints at. The original substance of your contention - a refutation of my claim that the 2016 budget requires major debt expansion - has long been lost. You claim it's too early to see substantial revenues improvement but that is effectively my original point, i.e., that the government cannot collect the projected revenues in the 12 months of 2016 given present revenue figures. The government may be able to match those projected revenue figures by 2018 - we will be able to judge closer to the time - but not in 2016.

As for GEJ's regime stealing, conservatively speaking, 40% of the budget that would imply that actual expenditure in the past is circa $16bn at the most. Given that this government has budgeted $30bn and it is an honest and competent government as your faith-based claim posits, we are going to experience the equivalent of a $14bn stimulus.

I have always stated on this forum that Nigeria has 2 main problems - corruption and policy ineptitude. However, the former pales in significance to the latter as you can develop with a corrupt leader a la Park Chung Hee of South Korea and Chiang Kai-Shek of Taiwan but there is no historical example of development with an inept leader. I also think Nigerians have a penchant for exaggeration or mendacity and that this erodes the quality of public debate. This is why Nigerians supported NLC's demands for a minimum wage of 52,000.00 Naira as the impression is created of an abundant fiscal purse which, but for pilfering by the political elite, would be sufficient to provide such goodies. I totally agree that we have some of the most corrupt political leadership but we need to maintain factual accuracy to be able critically evaluate our government and not pluck numbers out of the air.

5 years ago, I used to ask the Fresh air activists why they had such faith in GEJ given his unremarkable record as a public servant and would receive the usual non-sequitur dross. This is what I noted in 2010 post - https://www.nairaland.com/508968/jonathan-blew-away-27-billion#6701023. Buhari is in the same category as he has an emphatic record of utter incompetence which in any civilised setting would have entailed he would hardly be considered for the equivalent of local government chairman. As with GEJ, you do not need 4 years of failure to determine that inept public officials are more likely to provide inept governance.

As for these rest, as I said earlier, you are entitled to your pessimistic views.

That said, I think you are chatting crap to state that corruption pales in significance in regards to Nigeria's problem compared to policy.

That is supreme ignorance.

The type of Corruption we have in Nigeria is in no way comparable to South Korea or Taiwan, to even have grounds to use them as a comparative.

Noneroone:
A president who asks "what do Igbos want" shows he is capable of hatching the elimination Igbo officers in the DSS, army, police and federal civil service.

He should also be ready to hear that Igbo officers are giving information to IPOB since their patriotism is no longer needed.


Truly things have fallen apart

Nigerians, I highlight for you the logical reasoning and deduction of a congenital fuuktard!

This cretin needs to be taken into the nearest bush and shot as he adds no positive value to the human race with is fuuktard brain.

Eugenics should not be ignored.

sagamiteeeeeee...... oh my God, Nigerian music industry has killed guys who were meant to give us songs like this like Wande Coal of Ololufe, Style Plus etc. This is my BEST BEST BEST and BEST genre RnB. Boy2Men will forever remain my top list. JOE, R.kelly and so many others.

I love acappella as well. Did one back in school and people couldn't close their mouths as they watch in Amazement cos I rarely sing, except my close friends who knew me.

Thanks for the videos sagamite and I am out of recession as per our last gist

Now, I think Justin Bieber did tremendous justice to his song "Love Yourself".

I loved it.

But look at this 1990s guy put his own flavour & twist on it.
