All those Nigerians and Africans supporting NATO and hating Putin I guess you don't know what you are talking about.
Go back and read the story from the beginning, compare and contrast then come back and say the true enemy here. Don't be blindfolded because Putin is using drastic actions over Ukrainians. I come in peace �

so, that Ukraine wanted to join nato now justify the killing of innocent citizens? And if indeed Russia is powerful, why would she be scared and against her neighbors joining nato ? Why not attack usa directly ?..Russia has been bullying Ukraine since time immemorial. What do you expect from Ukraine ??if I bully you , and you decided to join gang to protect yourself, does that justify me to attack you and you family just because I believe the gang you belong to is a threat to me? Why I no kuku attack and disband the gang totally if I get balls since they’re the threat ?? make una Dey think.,

Other African artist were complaining and Joking about why it's only Angelique that gets all the awards

ITS BECAUSE SHE SINGS MEANINGFUL SONGS THAT ARE OF QUALITY AND CONTENT. Meanwhile all una Sabi no pass big ass,big breasts etc.step up your contents,lyrics and let your music have substance then you will get the grammies but it seems you guys are happy with mediocrity

winning Grammy is not by lyrics bobo.

If it’s by lyrics cardi b, mega the stallion, doja cat and other razz artistes for no win . The global music category has to do with how much influence her songs have. Shey you grab

Buhari thank you very much huh. Thanks for kicking us in the asś wotowoto

The op is an hypocrite. He hates the states

When you choose peace over drama

Seriously bro, you were very lucky for 9ja police hand .
I myself in 2020 has bought a stolen phone unaware, I was tracked to my school on campus after 1 month .

Omoo, I spent 6 days in police cell because of this phone issue.and luckily for me I was able to bring the guy who sold the phone to me .

My parents spent up to 200k before we could settled everything and finally released.

Trust me police don’t joke with stolen phone I was surprised how they allowed you go freely �

Allowed you to go freely after you paid 200k?

Most of commenters here self no understand the op

franchasofficia:
Most of you black Africans lack sense.



So US told Buhari to be a useless failed leader that supports his Fulani tribe to the detriment of the rest of Nigerians? So US told Fulanis and their brothers in government to be bloodsuckers that massacre Nigerians while Nigerian army watch akimbo?

So once Africa implements Gadaffi one currency policy, useless leaders like Buhari will stop being tribalistic, kleptomania and turn born agains?


So US is the reason your Governors, Ministers, Senators, Commissioners, civil servants, government contractors etc steal and loot unabated ? Foolish black Africans. Your name alone tells it all

I wish I could give you a billion likes.

Why have you not gone to America that you love so much?

Imagine it was your failure personified president that invaded Chad, America will bomb all thing in Nigeria. Why is America scared to show physical presence in the invasion as the self acclaimed world police.

stop showing the world your ignorance. America physical engagement will lead to nuclear war which you and you I won’t be alive to count scores

smart8956:
Sorry, Russia is not Nigeria. I feel you're still living in Nigeria writing these. Travel outside and see for yourself especially big countries. Why is Putin rating still high and not dropping? Even after world war 2 they never empty their country,is it now? Don't think like an African man,think like a normal human being ok.

so an africa man is not a Normal human being? All because of your dumb support for Russia ? See slavery and inferiority complex at its peak

kb83:
You don't understand international politics very well am sorry. You forgot the same sanctions were placed on North Korea for years and yet the survived to the point that the West does not have leverage over them today, sanctions sometimes is good, it helps you look in words and prevents over reliance on others, I tell you, if Russia whethers the storm of this sanctions, prepare yourself for a new World Power.

North Korea is surviving ? Ohh you be mumu

Are you serious or joking

That woman has won more international awards and African awards more than Wizkid, Dbanj, Fela, Davido, Burna Boy etc, put together.

A four time grammy winner is the one you are comparing with Wizkid. We are talking of pure authentic singers, you are talking of these boys that keeps saying "yeye yeeeeaa"

On September 15, 2021, Time included her in their list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

In 2010, the BBC Focus on Africa magazine included Kidjo in its list of the African continent's 50 most iconic figures, based on reader votes.

in 2020 she was on the list of the BBC's 100 Women announced on 23 November 2020.

In 2011, The Guardian listed her as one of its Top 100 Women in art, film, music and fashion

Kidjo is the first woman to be listed among "The 40 Most Powerful Celebrities in Africa" by Forbes magazine.

The Daily Telegraph in London described her as "The undisputed queen of African music" during the 2012 Olympic Games River of Music Festival.

In March 2013, National Public Radio (NPR) in America, called her "Africa's greatest living diva".

Kidjo is listed among the "2014 Most Influential Africans" by New African magazine and Jeune Afrique.

She has been nominated 12 times for Grammy and she won 4 of it.

She is music personified.


Comparing her with Wizkid is like comparing the Aston Martin DBX to a Toyota Camry. Haba.

lol. Her music have more global influence than dem wizkid that’s why, Grammy is not by lyrics. If she was nominated along side Beyoncé, doja cat, mega, cardie, she would lose.

DryMouth:
So its by what?
Zazuzeh or what?

so tell me what lyrics mega the stallion, cardi b, Doja cat and some razz artistes have that made them win Grammy ..

DryMouth:
Mugu...
No be song weh you sing you go take win grammy?

Mugu

shut up . What I’m telling you is what winning Grammy is not by good lyrics as put it. Ko fhucking danu

DryMouth:
Were you guys expecting wizkid or any other Nigerian artist to beat Angelique Kidjo?

With which lyrics if i may ask. Almost all Nigerian artist produce wack lyrics.

mumu Grammy is not lyrics

Lagos na blessing to Nigeria

All i know is that no tribe get ukwu reach yoruba o

I think the op is somehow right sha.., all you need is large fan base o..

Ebubeslym:
They don't know...
Most of those places have been rendered uninhabitable due to radioactive waste emanating from missile tests

Oga you are just lazy.

Keep Quiet.

Factory Job is for a start-up in Life's Race, I mean as a Contract Staff.

You will have to learn the techniques others who have been there use for the Job, then you save up and go do what you admire.

Na so una take dae go steal and do Yahoo.

Tell me one country that don't have factory workers.

The one I started with was 20k with daily feeding, your own even get levelz.

It's even better than doing service for a bricklayer.

All these lazy folks na una noise dae many pass.

That someone doesn’t have the power to work in factory no mean say e lazy .
Shey you know him health condition ?
I’ve worked in a flour mill and pineapple farm before and it’s the worst husle anyone can imagine

Before you buy a car read this

:


I posted this in January 2020....as at today I've spent over 900k on repairs accidents and mechanical issues. Car is milking me badly . Read

How I spent over 2.6 million on a car that gets me sad, embarrassed and frustrated. Now I am getting depressed…

Last year 22 June is one day I can't easily forget. I just got myself a Toyota Camry 2007 for my 25th Birthday. I bought the car for 1.8m from a very good friend of mine (8 years together). He buys and sells used and foreign (tokunbo) cars although not a certified dealer. He drove the car down to my loc and I accessed the car I was shocked as it was far from what I expected. On inspecting the car, I was not so impressed, despite having a california plate number like heck this shit supposed be better than i anticipated. The sound of the car was too noisy, the vibrations from the dashboard, the windscreen cracked (about 28inches), the interior a bit neat but the sound system to the gear lever area was not so neat. I began to doubt the prize of the car but we already negotiated at 1.8m. I asked if this car is okay, he affirmed that it is and can't sell a problem to his brother.

I drove the car out to look for a car diagnosing company but it was a rainy day had to come back not being able to get a car company to check the car. The car consumes fuel a little bit more than conventional 4 plugs and it raised further doubt about the roadworthiness of the car but what do I know car was moving although skips when entering gear 3. I didn't know much about all this as overtime I didn't put the discipline of owning a car with this being my second car am so ashamed. Went back home I asked my friend what's wrong with the car he affirmed again that nothing is wrong. A month later I started noticing oil stain where I park. I bent over and saw oil dripping my heart almost skipped while this is a small issue (I knew this later) I trembled…this car is just a month old. I spent 31k fixing this shit cos I was too busy to inspect the repairs. A week later the same issue occurred. This was getting too much.

This got me sad and mad and I was already regretting the choice of getting a car. I later opted for a car company (My worst mistake). Oil seal was fixed 4 times in 7 months oil keeps dripping from the engine. Between this period the car abruptly stops on the road and sometimes won't even start after parking. I suffered all this with a faulty steering pump which causes the steering to be stiff. Some car companies aren't trustworthy and won't likely be the solution to your car problems...but they got my car moving each time it breaks down and I paid the exorbitant cost for minor repairs for fear of this roadside mechanics. The drill continued and I kept repairing and kept paying. The worst happened in March this year when I had a hit with a reckless driver. The bonnet bent a little and bumper beyond repair. I painted the car after 11 days. I told a panel beater working with the painter to bring the car home for me on reaching close the car stopped. Suffered to get it home as the car keeps draining charged batteries.

The next day I called the car company to come take the car for checks and possible repair. The next day I was told the engine has to be ringed that it's not the alternator. Bill of 169k for everything. I opted for a new engine (2AZ and was billed 300k for everything by the same company). I also bought shaft for both legs (55k). The former engine I was told is now scrapped and would be sold for a small amount (I left it for them). The car was with them for about 7 weeks as I wasn't around. When the car was out, AC no longer working. I called and was told the compressor is bad and needs to be changed. Why me! Bill 148k Like my God what have I done...? I spent 96k to fix AC (I had to call someone else from the neighboring state). I discovered that the AC had been fixed before and resulted to change most of the AC components. had to rethink this whole spending, right now my windscreen is bad can't see well when it's raining, my headlamp bad not bright, my exhaust very noisy unwanted sound from the manifold and consumes fuel, the legs need to be checked again (camber bushing or what do they call it) and interior needs fixing. Other issues although not certain is the suspension.
After penning my frustration in this piece Nairaland kept banning me from uploading…I gave up trying. The worst right now my gear doesn't select after a journey of 112km to and fro where I base. I need to share this experience so people can learn from this.
The estimate for expenses carried out so far on repairs so far should be over 850k in one year (major repairs: New Engine + Shaft 355k, AC 96k, Legs [fixed twice] 64K {break pads, hub, tie rod, bushing etc}) (minor repairs: oil seal repair 4 times around 80k (new oil every time to put a new oil seal), Nozzle + Plugs + Fan + Key starter 44k, Exhaust (net) 10.4k. Others: painting 60k and panel beating 15k. (all of this excluding gear) Bought tires several times as they keep peeling off from bad alignment although Belgium tires. There are others I can't remember right now. All this excluding fuel. I honestly can't continue like this.


Fast forward to 2022
Later Sold it off in September for cheap and my mental health is back

lmao I don Dey piss for body . Lol. I’m sorry for the ordeal ..

Car is not easy to maintain and besides life can happen to anyone .. you don’t know how loaded he was when he bought the car, you never can tell if something happened to him.

Anyway most people buy what they can’t Afford to impress.. before you can buy a car in Nigeria you must be capable of owning it x2.. except you want to use it for business

SmartPolician:
I think it's inappropriate to calculate the monetary value of his $50 billion.

You should be asking how much the amount would have multiplied into if he had invested it other businesses like Elon Musk since he started giving out the money for charity.

That's when you realize how rich that man would have become.

hmmm. in this case you’re right . I completely agree

SmartPolician:
Musk is the most creative billionaire in the world. However, he should emulate Bull Gates and do more of charity.

If not that Bill Gates gives a significant fraction of his earnings to charity, nobody will come close to him in wealth.

lol he still can’t be richer than Elon musk bro … Gate has donated almost 50b$ so far in the course of his Career.

I love his hospitality and philanthropy pass anyone sha

At certain point in life as a man, you will lose close contact with your family o . Only my sisters call me time to time , you see my brothers , if dem call you just know that something probably happens but their wives do call me and I return their calls too.

And we are cool with it, situation of naija no give room for 247 calling jare . and tbh , I love it like that . I no like plenty calls , sometimes if I call them self, if we don talk small , them go be like I’ll call back and vice Versa if I’m busy too. Na woman Dey complain say u no call joor.

BENCHOKCONSULT:
No Nigerian dey win anything tonight. Angelique don collect one already that woman is a Legend.

swears if not for that woman , the award would have been a landslide for wizkid o
