In the last picture I posted some days ago, about "Nigerian Children are happy children - Billboard", I remember saying that the photo was shot by an ex-magnum in 1967 and people were asking for proof. I can show you tonnes of pictures that were taken same year. However, some of those pictures will bring sad memories e.g Biafra... and we not need going back at this point of Nigeria, we need solution on the way forward. This pictures were selected based on our theme on naijaPOSE on the good side of 1960 and we shared on Nairaland. There's no plagiarizing or claiming of photos or any thing like that. If you capisce, then enjoy the bright side on 1967.

BedLam: something about the last picture, isn't that same billboard we saw something like "Nigeria children are happy and healthy " advertising milk on the other tread somedays ago?

Same photo agency. Same Photographer. Same year. Different billboards at different locations.

omo_to_dun: Chei, Oturugbeke. Dem thief the pictures and dem come put their logo on top. I hail o.

Any picture uploaded to naijapose is automatically watermarked by a plugin. So we quote the source of the pictures in such cases (on our website) except of course it was taken by us.

zebudaya: Funky medina, what's up with you accusing folks of stealing pics and not being able to prove the original source, couple weeks ago. I saw a post where you accused someone of stealing a dutch woman's pics. Now you attribute these pictures to Nigeria nostalgia project on facebook. Get your source right. They belong to magnumphotos.com

God bless you jare.

funky medina: You took pictures from Nigeria nostalgia project in facebook and stamped POSE on it..idiot! All this nigerian internet thieves ..why cant u guve credit to whom it is due..what the hell is POSE?

LMAO. Nigeria Nostalgia ko. Novalgin Ni. Go to the link below the pictures and see the name of the photographer of the pictures. Bruno Barbley. Which one is Nigeria Nostalgia Project again?

It’s a normal thing to attend an event in Nigeria that doesn’t start on time and then like the one million shows you’ve attended, it follows the same cycle, artistes come on stage and gesticulate along with their tracks being played behind the screaming sound systems. Maybe you may get a sip or two from drinks being tossed around and then you sit waiting for what’s next. Of course, what preceded this was that the shows must have started later than usual. You know we still have a relapse from the African-time syndrome no matter how hard we try. Anyways the show came and went and i’ll tell you my 10 most memorable moments about the show that ended not-too-long ago.

A minute of silence for Goldie: A moment of silence was observed in respect of the late singer and entertainer. Banky W expressed how much her admired her because she just lived without caring about negative comments.

Don Jazzy dressed like a Bishop: When Don Baba Jay sauntered in, dressed in a white gown like that observed on the clerics, I had thought it was someone else who had come to bless the show. Don Jazzy also wielded a cross on his neck showing that he had come to purify the bustling Civic Centre where the event was held. Although he didn’t come on stage at any point in time, his presence was felt.

Banky W kisses a fan on stage: That night Bankole was demonstrating some skills that are rated eighteen on stage. He picks a fan off the audience and she was a sizable person for the stage. Very noticeable. He makes a daring performance with her before ending it with a kiss on stage. She carts away with a bottle of Moet courtesy of Hennessy, a Samsung Grand Duos Phone worth N65,000, perfume and some other stuff.

Blacky blew the roof: I felt so young again (not like i’m so old) as Blacky rocked the stage with his “Can I have a dance Rosie ahhn… You dunno what to do Rosie ahan ahn…” and then everyone was singing along. It was fun as he ran from one song to another. Looking forward to an old school concert.

Banky W weds Niyola: Don’t be offended, I saw this with my own eyes. Banky W dressed like the groom and Niyola was all dressed up like a bride. The bishop that pronounced them man and wife was err… Freeze. Well, before you hug transformer, it was just a make-belief, a performance for Banky’s W’s song featuring Niyola (Be my lover)

Iyanya rocks the stage with Sexual Healing: When the Kukere Master came on stage, everyone expected him to start begging for people’s waists or maybe start rocking the Etighi dance. Well, Iyanya went R&B-ish and gave classical renditions of songs like sexual healing. Then he capped it with a brief performance of Kukere.

Two people win Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos: You won’t understand what it means to win that phone. The phone is beautiful. Dual sim. Large screen. Has a multi-tasking screen that helps you to do many things at once on your phablet (phone tablet). Also has the retina sensor that keeps the phone lighted up when you are looking at it. What else, it was made to suit Nigerians style. Anyways, two lucky peeps answered some cheap questions and they left with one each. The phone is worth 65 grand.

Waje and Banky W’s rendition: Trust Waje to raise goosebumps on your skin as she combines her powerful voice with Banky’s in a stellar performance of “Thief my Kele”. Waje is very good. That’s all I can say.

Seyi Law famzing with the MD of Samsung: Well for what itt may be worth, Seyi Law was famzing with the MD of Samsung. He took different postures with the man like he was being advised. In case you see those pictures in circulation, all na set up. Seyi said he was hoping he could be considered for Samsung ambassadorship. Well, you could read the desire even in his humour.

Wizkid leaves before the show ends: I was wondering why Wizkid didn’t turn up for his ex-boss’s event till I saw him exiting towards the concluding part of the show. He left silently with a fair chic. I wondered why he wasn’t called on stage or wasn’t acknowledged or asked to perform. The show had a lot of performers such as Chidinma, Praiz, Lynxxx (with Banky W), Iyanya, Niyola (with Banky W), Bez, Waje, Sound Sultan and Black Magic. Wizkid didn’t perform but attended and I think that was laudable on his part (no matter the controversies surrounding both of them).
https://www.360nobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/wizkid_tani_2_rnbw.jpg

In conclusion, it was a great show. Banky W performed with a live band all through except once, which was the performance with Niyola. It was not the regular event. It had a churchy theme about it so everyone was talking about ministers and bibles and sermons and sisters. Did I fail to mention anything else. What did you like about the show if you attended it?

RIP GOLDIE

carltz101: how could u be assisting him when u ar also blind, taut he went to school for the blind

He attended Pacelli School for the Blind and he attended King's College after that. King's College Lagos accommodates everyone because we see ability in disability. There was no segregation or the sort. They blind students were in regular classes with their peers except that they took some special subjects together and they had Braille Machines.

pmc01: Floreat Mate!

Floreat!

doncheks: Cobhams attended Kings College Lagos.Quite a guy;unlike most blind fellows back then in school,he rarely associated with his disability.Never a dull moment with him.

Did everything like a normal fellow.Even had a cool gf while in school(when cool dudes were still learning the ropes).

Not seen anyone who could play the keyboard better than him yet.

Reminiscing the good ole KC Days.Floreat!!!.

Floreat!

sureboykris: Floreat Cohbams. Floreat OP

Floreat bro

mitchyy: I don't have to wait till its Vals day to show how much you mean to you. But this is dedicated to you segunsd cus you sucessfully stole my heart *muahhhhhh*

Multi award-winning producer Asuquo Cobhams poses with his wife and kids on Valentines day. Cobhams is the producer behind Asa’s best-selling albums. He’s also produced Dare Art Alade, Rooftop MC’s, Tuface, 9ice just to mention a few. I’ve known Cobhams way back from King’s College and he’s always been an inspiration to us all.

On Vals day, he poses with this picture and writes:

I’ve been very fortunate to know true love and I’m happy to share this love. Some things are sweeter when they are shared, so I share with you the joy and happiness that I’ve found in my sweetheart and my son. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

I cannot but smile and wish him the very best in everything. I remember something someone said.

The most pathetic person in the world is one who has eyes but no vision.

Hellen Keller, i think said that. Cobhams impresses me. Well done man.

crisycent: The picture is too clean to have been taken in 1967....haba na u keep picture pass?

The picture was taken by a white. And an ex-magnum, if you know what i mean.

Na Laugh: That picture might as well been taken this morning. No indication of 1967 here.

Jeez! See ignorance. Could you lay your hand on a digital camera in 1967? or Do you expect SMA to write 1967 on the billboard. The picture was taken in 1967 whether you want to believe it or not. Have you seen SMA or any of its product around recently talkless of it having a billboard this morning.

Dedicating this song - Heaven by DJ Sammy to Mitchyy

Oh, thinking about all our younger years.
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.
Now nothing can take you away from me.
We've been down that road before,
But that's over now.
You keep me coming back for more

Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms,
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.

Kim Kardashian, Kardashian, styled by Nicola Formichetti – formerly Lady Gaga‘s stylist — for the shoot, in which she rocks retro hair, extra-dramatic eyebrows and three classic looks. In one shot she displays ample cleavage in a beaded wool blazer by Roberto Cavalli and a $2,995 Viktor and Rolf dress. In another, she channels Sofia Loren in a crewneck, cardigan and skirt by Sister by Sibling plus $640 Giuseppe Zanotti pumps. She looks evidently photographed before her headline-making pregnancy.

Going by the recent rumoured fall out between EME and Wizzy, fans are wondering if the young pop star will make the final cut. Others are also worried if Wizkid will attend the February 15 concert ‘The Grand Love’ project.

The sun dims
blackens the blue skies
pedestrians freeze
automobiles fail
the wind stills
halts the purple hibiscus
transmissions seize
heartbeats pause
darkness creeps in
life blurs away
we listen
for the absent sounds
of the city bustles.
All gone. gone. gone
Yes let them go
and let us be
for life is a mirage
but we are reality
I see it through the candle flames
this valentine.
