Very selfish self centered politician. If e no cosign me then you can go to blazes for all I care.

Did he ever deiiver on anything in his miserabe life?

Even the Military HOS wey hin do, he had a passive role, and na others run the coup and put am for there.

The President wey hin win for 2015, like BAT talk na hin run am for am.

The only time he had to stand for something and put his support behind the person, he couldn't even deliver and failed miserably.

BAT is failing and performing poorly but the courage, strength and conviction in his thumb finger is more than all the courage and strength Buhari was able to muster in his entire life.

Very useless ex-president. He will not rest well in that grave. Wicked useless soul.

Hello Uyai,

And which will you recommend I go for?

You can make time for anything you enjoy, you just have to be efficient with it.

Lunchtime run is just 21 mins, add another 19 mins for shower and change and it's the same 40 mins you use to consume lunch that Mrs SemiD packed for you. I don't eat breakfast or lunch. I pack 2 bananas in the morning that sees me through till dinner.

So I go dress formally go work, park running gear put for bag and breaktime wey I suppose take loosen my belt, relax, chop and decompress after a hectic schedule, I go change cloth and begin dey run under this hot naija sun? Explain properly, e no clear

Nigerians spend too much time on travel, food prep and religious activities. Travel you can't avoid but the other 2 can be cut down to almost zero. I have this theory that any society without fast food is unproductive. Chinese can cook you a meal from scratch in 5 to 10 mins, even Ghana will throw shitto on some carbs and food will be ready. I use Ghana method of shitto on potatoes etc during the week so once I get home, food will be ready in 5 mins then I can go play football.

Lol.. Most average and well-to-do families in Nigeria cook in bulk, and store in freezers. Stews, soups, beans, cooked proteins etc are all stored in the freezer. These foods stretch across days and save families from the stress of daily cooking. This is actually good planning and efficient time management.

Moreover, it seems you've forgotten that noodles, sardines, geisha, corned beef and other easily prepared food assortments dey for Naija? In all, home-made meals are healthier and keep family running costs down in this hard economy.

On travel, which Nigerians dey travel? You think all those, "come with me as I take a road trip to Ghana" , tourist destinations in Nigeria and abroad that you see on SM is the reality of the average Nigerian? Lol. Bro, most Nigerian work their asses off on their jobs, and are always at their shops, business spaces or office desks. The only time they get off are the Muslim and Christian Holidays so your travel point is over the bar ❌

Most of my weight training in the week is done in 20 mins before work. If you have the education, with compound dumbbell exercises, you can do all 3 exercises for 3 sets of 10 for every major muscle group in the upper body within 15 mins (shoulders, chest, biceps, triceps, lats and back). I try to do these on weekdays in the morning before work, then do 2 major sessions on Saturday and Sunday when I have more time.

Good for you. Again, na because you get time and live in a sane clime that things are predictable and you don't have to worry about extraneous circumstances.

The other thing Nigerians spend major time on is religious activities. At least 1/4 of the weekend spent on church etc with all the dressing and travel. I send my kids to church to learn good morals while I use the time for my Sunday session. I have been in gym since 8.30 am this morning and would be home by 11am, same time preacher is just starting his sermon in most churches.

On a personal level, I've fallen off and the last time I entered Church was 2024. Wifey and the kids go every Sunday, and I assist her in prepping the kids.

Still, I don't think Nigerians spend too much time in religious places of worship. I mean, it's not too much for an adherent of a religion to devote 3/4 hours on a particular day every week in in a "religious house" to worship the God they serve.

In all, you speak from a place of privilege and have lost touch with the Nigerian reality. Continue to dey enjoy, sir. Nothing do you.

Training for Manchester 10km race in 6 weeks with aims of completing in 55 to 60 mins which is 5.30-6.00min/km pace.

My training consists of three 4.3km tempo runs per week during my work lunch-break alongside once a week sprints of 800m x 4 when I'm working from home. Trying to juggle this with weight training 4 times a week and 3 times a week football. Then every two weeks I do a long recovery run (about 10km) on a Saturday morning when I drop kids off for dancing lessons. I actually planned 14km (1/3rd marathon) on my recovery run this morning but my hip seize up at 8km. Make I just respect my age and stop it here.

See soft life wey CFA dey live.

Which normal working class person for Naija get time to dey run during lunch breaks, and dey play ball during weekdays?

No wonder your bed dey shake five times a week

Same here. I supported Peter Obi for President in 2018 before Obidient was a thing. But only PYO could have made me change my mind. The President Nigeria never had.



Fayemi was another alternative I have explained in the past.

I was one of those who aggressively pushed the twitter trend Run Osinbajo run when he hadn't declared his intention.

It pained me when he didn't clinch the APC ticket. I was deflated, felt like life was snuffed out of me.

But looking back, PYO didn't really push for the ticket. BAT and Amaechi were crisscrossing the country, meeting governors and delegates. PYO didn't do that, and was bested by BAT and even Amaechi. Argh.

Nigeria missed a good one in Prof Yemi Osinbajo. Painful.

Osinbanjo was who I originally supported in 2023 but when he didn't clinch the APC ticket, I pivoted to Peter Obi.

And Osinbanjo would have made a damn good president, but he couldn't cross the primary hurdle.

With how PBAT dey move, I have this feeling that the way people go rejoice when hin kpai go loud pass when Buhari mud.

Kashimawo.

DissTroy:
Semid4lyfe, from your post you proved what I have always suspected – you have a 'weird' taste in music too like me. You even follow Johnny's Room Live? Only real fans get up to speed with him at that level. Great!

It's unfair to lump Burna Boy and Wizkid with the horde of talentless, producer-assisted artistes so I won't do it.

I suppose I just want to see artistes like Johnny Drille at the very least enjoy the same commercial success as the others.
Johnny is who I rate as highly as Jon Bellion and The Weeknd, and his covers of their songs during the Lockdown will make you ditch the original.
Case in point, his cover of Jon Bellion's "All Time Low" during the Lockdown will give you goosebumps.
He can hold the crowd and audience as much as Passenger does.

I'm glad Tems made it out and gets appreciated by a global audience for her talent. I wish Johnny made it out. I wish Praiz made it out in 2014 before it was too late, banking on his out-of-this-world cover of Rihanna's "Stay" (which is better than the original, in my opinion).

I wish Blessing Tangban (who has one of the purest, delicate vocals you'll ever hear) made it out yet she rots in near obscurity.

I do not have a weird taste in music. My taste of music is eclectic, and I have a taste for good music as defined by my ears which cuts across many genres. I like country, rock, afrobeats, gospel worship, contemporary gospel, R & B, Juju, Fuji, roots reggae, dancehall reggae, pop, soul etc.

There was a time, I was stuck on Enya, Another time it was Yanni,. Later it was Kenny G. Another time Phil Collins. Another time Simon Webbe. Musiq soulchild. Indigineously, I've been through phases with Fela, King Sunny Ade, Sir Shina Peters, Chief Field Marshall Echo Toikumo, King Robert Ebizimor etc

I also like many of the popular tunes from our popular artistes. I also have opinions that I'll drop, and many peeps go disagree, and be like this guy no sabi music jare. You get the point.

Where we differ is your elevation of alte artistes and sounds over afrobeats and afrobeats artistes., and the fact that I understand consumer behaviour and know why the industry is skewed towards afrobeats.

See, make we no dey forget say this music thing na career, a poverty escape route for many of these artistes. So to quickly blow in Nigeria in this streaming era, these artistes gats jump on the dominant, trending and danceable genre which is afrobeats. Doing alte music won't blow any artiste in Nigeria. In the current Nigerian music space, commercial success = afrobeats.

I respect and rate Johnny Drille highly. Pure performer. I have seen dozen of videos of his Johnny Room live performances,,and I am always blown away by the ambience and his performances.

By the way, I never said Burna and Wizkid were not talented. I was only referring to their voice quality and vocal dexterity. Remember, I said it takes talent to make a hit song, and these guys get them plenty in their repertoire, and have remained relevant for years which is a difficult thing to do.

All those other guys, Praiz, Capital Femi, Bez etc wey you dey always namedrop, they should stay true to their craft, continue in their alte lane with their loyal fanbase and continue to wallow in obscurity or jump on the afrobeats bandwagon if dem want commercial success. There is no other way.

DissTroy:
I just stumbled on a post by a certain Danny Nsa which encapsulates what I've always believed, preached and theorized about Nigeria's music industry.

Here: 👇🏼


"Nigeria decided a long time ago that noise is talent. The louder the 808, the bigger the star. So when a man steps into a room with nothing but his voice and the audacity to mean every word he sings, the industry squints at him like he arrived at the wrong party.

Johnny Drille arrived at every wrong party and somehow became the most important person in the room.

There is a cruelty in how Nigeria treats its finest male vocalists. Chike can make your chest hurt with a single note transition. Ric Hassani sings like a man who has loved deeply and lost beautifully and somehow made peace with both. Praiz has been carrying this conversation on his back since the 2010s, when afrobeats was still finding its feet and he was already doing things with his voice that made producers nervous.

Johnny Drille writes songs the way your most emotionally intelligent friend talks, slowly, carefully, like every word costs something. These four men represent a standard of vocal excellence that most of the Nigerian mainstream has collectively agreed to ignore.

And the funniest part is Nigerians know every word to their songs. They just don't want to admit it publicly.

This is the strange double life of the Nigerian alternative R and B lover. In public, they are defending whatever name is currently trending. In their car at 11pm, Johnny Drille's Wait For Me is on repeat and they are having a full conversation with their ceiling about a relationship that ended in 2019.
Chike's Roju has resolved more unspoken grief than therapy sessions that cost thirty thousand naira per hour. The music works. People just refuse to give it its flowers in broad daylight.

What separates these men from the rest is not just technical ability, it is emotional specificity. Anybody can sing about love in the general sense.
Chike sings about the particular weight of loving someone who is still figuring out whether they love you back.
Ric Hassani writes romance the way old school Afro soul used to be written, with a sincerity that now feels almost rebellious in a market saturated with songs about money and women who are suspicious of both.
Praiz has a rawness in his delivery that sounds like the song is happening to him in real time, not something he rehearsed. You might think these are just singers but to me they are documentarians of the human heart.

The industry comparison is damning if you sit with it long enough. Nigeria celebrated Burna Boy winning a Grammy, rightfully so. But the same music culture that holds up international validation as the ultimate standard has spent years giving these men crumbs.
Chike appeared on Voice Nigeria, came out as a runner up, and then built a career largely on the strength of people who heard him and could not unhear him.
Just so you know, he built everything with no label machinery and no industry placement. It was just voice meeting ear and refusing to let go. That is a rare and almost unfair kind of talent.

Honesty demands we also name the gap. These men are not struggling in obscurity because Nigeria has bad taste. They are navigating a streaming economy, a social media algorithm, and a cultural appetite that currently rewards energy over interiority. It is not that Nigerians cannot appreciate depth.

Behind the Scenes just proved that a film with genuine emotional weight can pack cinemas and make grown men cry beside strangers. The appetite for feeling is there. Someone just needs to make it loud enough that the algorithm notices. The talent is not in question. Nigeria's priorities are.

Right now Nigerians prioritize Mavo and the likes and all I can say is it is well. 🤦‍♂️"

-------++-----📍----📍----📍----

Succinctly stated. Over the years I have done my part to promote these guys as much as I can.
I've been following Johnny Drille since 2016, wrote lengthy blog op-eds he endorsed on Twitter in 2018/2019, joined a team of volunteer alternative music lovers who divided themselves into regional publicity teams to push his album in 2021; organizing ourselves in Telegram groups.

I follow and push the works of Bez and Praiz, evangelizing to anyone and everyone to listen to their music.

For Ric Hassani, we had a ragtag group of fans push his music through 2021/2022 on Twitter...until I had to stop because it was messing with my algorithm (which to be tech-heavy).

These are the artistes I stream on Spotify and binge-watch in picture-in-picture mode on YouTube. I'll rather interact with Styl Plus and Jeremiah Gyang's Instagram posts than the biggest artistes out there.

But we can only do so much. For the relatively few of us, it's never enough. Johnny Drille, Bez, Chike and the likes do have the repertoire to sell out stadiums...in a country which appreciates actual talents. Maybe the problem is, they do clean music in secular contexts?

Three weeks ago, the Oba of Benin hosted Shallipopi in his palace, while his Chiefs sang along to the latter's songs. Shallipopi sings about fraud and has a mugshot arrested for the same crime yet the Oba validates him.

Same way a Young Jonn will sooner get recognition by another southern state over a Cobhams Asuquo.

I know the Oba is father to all but Johnny Drille never gets such invitation...and he's an ambassador any would be glad to have: educated, well-spoken, refined, peaceful, expresses civility and dignity in his art and life...

Nigeria does treat its most talented male vocalists like dung. Sad reality.

DissTroy, DissTroy, DissTroy. Ore mi, how many times I call your name

You cannot force your taste on everyone. No be you go decide wetin be good music, who be good/talented artiste and who Nigerians should listen to.

It is called Nigerian music industry, and not Nigerian alte music industry, and different music genres and sounds dey the industry. Afrobeats, R & B (Afro R & B), Pop (Afropop), Fuji, Juju, Gospel, Highlife, Alte/indie, Amapiano, Afrosoul, Jazz, HipHop/Rap etc

That all these sounds exist is a reflection of musical diversity, and how musically talented our artistes are. It's just that one sound (Afrobeats) is dominant, and appeals to the majority of youths. This phenomenon of a dominant genre exists everywhere there's a plurality of sounds. Even Yankee. I(t's the reason the Country Music Awards exists over there cos they felt their music genre was being relegated.)

Now, the idea that Nigeria ignores vocalists is not true. People like Johnny Drille, Ric Hassani, Chike, Brymo, Praiz , Bez etc are not unknown underground artistes. I doubt there's anyone here who does not know them. They have loyal fanbases, sell out shows and have decent streaming numbers. It's just that they've chosen a defined lane, and stuck with it mostly.

These aristes also have cross over appeal, and have featured in some of the biggest Nigerian tunes. Chike was in running with Simi, and Egwu with Mohbad. Brymo was in Ice Prince's oleku, Ric Hassanii Thinder fire you is popular. He also has a song with Portable. Johnny Drille's How are you is a big crossover tune. The same Johnny Drille probably has the best family oriented music show in Nigeria with his Johnny's Room Live which is always sold out and well attended. So they are known and well recognized in the industry. DO NOT CONFUSE THEIR NON-DOMINANT MUSIC GENRE with them being undervalued.

Now Afrobeats like the name implies is a beats heavy, rhythmic, groovy and extremely danceable music genre. (Same with Amapiano). It resonates with the youths, has blown, and gotten virality in a globalized world dominated by social media. A song blowing depends on its beat, "sweetness" of the hook/chorus, "vibeability" and not the popularity of the artiste. Its the reason the Afrobeats genre has so many one-hit wonders e.g, Chella - My darling, Goya Menor - ameno, Olakira - in my maserati, Fido - joy is coming etc. and many others artistes who have fallen off. Coincidentally, its the reason I respect our big three cos they've remained relevant for decades which is not an easy thing to do in the Afrobeats music space.

I don dey ramble, back to the topic. Afrobeats, is being carried by groove, beats, identity and global positioning. So expecting pure vocalists to dominate the beat-driven ecosystem is like expecting Enya to top the HipHop/R & B charts. You sef check am, our big 5 - Wizkid, Davido, Burna, Rhema and Asake, ....how many of dem sabi sing, as in vocal dexterity? Therein lies your answer.

Another point, Nigerians don't hate depth. We just have a preference for music that fits our daily reality. Country is hard, economy is bitting, money no dey, people dey hustle and are stressed. We need music that will lift our mood fast and get us bopping. Whether in the home, street, car, parties or club. To quote the legendary Sir Shina Peters,,"dance dance, dance and forget your sorrows". Nobody get time to siddon dey listen to love/spiritual song done over acoustic guitar, and analyze lyrics to decipher the meaning like Brymo dey sing. Biko, no stress me.

By the way, the 11pm Johnny Drille on repeat point actually contradicts your main point. It shows segmentation and time-based consumption pattern of music. In the daytime and in public, Nigerians prefer high energy, vibeable songs. At night and in private, na slow tempo introspective songs we dey play, which is logical. Bottom line, both exist and are consumed, just in different ways.

On the industry being cruel. Na so life be. If anything, the alte artists have done well because they carved a niche for themselves. (Talking about niche, shey you see how Isegun Johnson carved a niche for himself with his Owambe hyping genre of music?). Not every artiste wants to be everywhere, and lots of peeps including me respect them for that. And please, the loud afrobeats artists do not lack skill or intention. Making a hit song that blows requires talent and a lot of hard work. From choosing the right producer, beat selection, layering the lyrics on the beat, the hook/chorus, mixing etc. E no easy.

Lastly, real music no get universal definition. I fit no like wetin you like, and you fit no like wetin I like. Rather, J'll say all music is real music. The Afrobeats artistes are just doing the dominant music type, and excelling at it. Again, Nigerian music is diverse, and many sounds dey. Each music genre get stars, and audience. The vocalists and deep alte singers are respected and appreciated, they are just operating in a lane that will never be the dominant and loudest. And that's fine. No dey push unnecessary agenda, or talk down other artistes to promote your musical preference.

The African in me will never allow me do Vasectomy.

This was me years ago. No worry, thinking and mindset dey evolve, and I believe you'd become receptive to it in future.

Withdrawal is not as easy as people make it seem Sha. If you don't impregnate your spouse mistakenly through precum, you will most likely release wilfully into the zanga hoping it will be her safe period.

Sometimes, you're both having it so good that you don't want to pull out or madam pins you down at the moment when she feels you about to withdraw

And condom just doesn't feel as enjoyable as skin to skin.

The difference between S-T-S and CD knacks is like 7up. I'll rather not knack than use a CD.

Just not worth it, especially knowing that it'd immediately mean having to clean up, meaning no post-nut intimacy.

Knacking is sweet, and the sweetest point na to pour the akamu into the wet orifice.

Any pregnancy prevention method that constitutes a barrier to my climax experience inside the inner chamber is not for me.

CD ❌
Withdrawal ❌

It's either wifey finds a tolerable pregnancy prevention method, or I do vasectomy.

Vasectomy is not even bad. One of my guys had a vasectomy, and it cost only 150k.

It was an outpatient procedure, meaning he was discharged the same day and the recovery was just three days.

TrebleChamp:
No side effect like overweight and all, plus the purpose of using this method is to prevent pregnancy if your game tight...

What's the point of doing all that work just to withdraw at the sweetest point? I mean its a waste of intimacy to climax outside the orifice.

I'll rather do a vasectomy than be pouring my akamu outside.

Implanon - Matchstick like. Inserted in the non-dominant arm. Wifey's monthly visitor ceased completely. It also made her gain weight, gave her mood swings and made her temperamental. Small thing u & madam don dey quarrel. I do not recommend ❌

Copper IUD - Na this one we dey use currently. It is inserted vaginally. In the early days, the strings may be visible and you fit dey feel am when you dey stroke. Finger stimulation is not encouraged. Period flow is a little heavier. ✔️

Your analogy is ridiculous. You dey talk like say FG na one-man business or startup company.

As an employer, your staff chose to work with you. If your cash flow dry, worst case, company folds. Dem leave.

Government no get that excuse. Government no dey fold. Has the FG stopped generating IGR? Has FG stop collecting taxes? Has FG stop exporting crude and other commodities? Has FG stop borrowing from internal and external creditors?

As a father, should you be flexing & chopping life when your kids are hungry?

But government na the opposite. The top never tightens. Their juicy perks of office still flow continuously without abating. Na only their employees dey bears the brunt.

Salary, allowances and wage awards are not gifts. They are obligations. Already approved, budgeted for and owed in advance to employees for work they will do. Politics, projects and political spending should never be prioritized over welfare of employees, even in situations of tight cash flow.

And e no get how you wan take spin am. its inexcusable and disgraceful that FG has not completed the payment of the six months 35k wage award to employees since 2024.

It is simply wickedness and misplaced priorities from the FG.

Au contraire, I work physically in different cities, sometimes sleeping away from home and Roby knacking rate as an unemployed man is my baseline minimum as a married man with kids where you have to be worrying whether children are asleep etc

Semid is a soft worker, not in Lagos, a lecturer who probably lives on campus and can probably stroll to his house in 15 mins. Probably home by 4 pm and is home all through the school holidays. Anything less than 5 knackings per week, I will be disappointed.

Lol. Your profiling of me is so off. You think say na UniPort, Unilag, UI, Ife level be my institution. Even those universities only accomodate a tiny percentage of their staff on Campus.

Make I give you some context. ⬇️

I live in the capital city of the state. The university is in a rural community about 50 - 60 mins drive away. I no dey stroll from my home to the office.

Over 97% of staff live in the capital city and commute to work from there because staff accomodation on campus is almost non-existent. The few units that were built some years ago were cornered by the big ogas which they sublet to others at exorbitant rates.

The university community is not quite as developed. The power situation is terrible in the community (but my uni get steady light cos of solar plant wey GEJ give us when hin establish am )

Even young bachelors that started off living in the community eventually move to the capital city especially after marriage and when their kids want to start school to have good options.

Soft life no dey lecturing like that. Even now, as my uni dey semester break, I get over 500 scripts to mark across three courses with deadline to deliver. I get project student's wey I dey supervise, and read & correct their thesis

As per family levels, its just me & madam with our three kids, no domestic help or relatives living with us. Make I even yarn you sef, na me do omugwo for my wife when she drop #2 and #3.

Also, I do a lot of chores to keep the home running. Na me dey do dishes, Na me dey do school runs mostly. Na me dey sweep and mop house. Na me dey bathe kids morning and night. Na me dey iron clothes. Na me dey assist kids with assignments etc

Bottom line, I put in a lot of work in my job, and in the home. Nothing like soft life for my side. I no dey hypersexual and knacking no dey rule my mind. There are weeks I go without it. Oya, be disappointed.

2. Salary delays in MDAs - For us wey dey Federal Tertiary Educational Institutions, its even worse cos we don commot IPPIS. The earliest I have received my salary this year is 6th. Memos start flying around from the Bursary Units of Institutions, and the excuse is always "no cash backing from Accountant General Office" which is in the Ministry of Finance.

3. Promotion without cash backing - Person go get promotion to the next level but na only for paper. The salary adjustment will be delayed, and dem fit no pay the arrears sef.

4. Unpaid allowances boku across MDAs.

5. Non release/lean overhead releases - Many MDAs can't fund routine and basic office operations, especially in their state offices.

6. I hear say hin shine eye for hin ministry, and begin dey put eye for work attendance and staff attitude.

That is why I am asking why did the guy agree to go on the show to embarrass himself. He did more damage to his reputation with that podcast

Na why I ask in a previous post if HonestBunch dey financially incentivize guests to come their podcasts.

E get some things wey people suppose keep off social media and others wey dem suppose take to their graves.

Roby Ekpo no need the social media circus. E for just move on quietly with hin life.

In your early marriage days una fit dey do all days. 7 days a week
but when you are in your 40s, and busy, both healthy couples, weekend between Friday night and Sunday night maybe twice. Midweek maybe twice.

There is no formula to it, some times you do 5 times a week, some times na once depending on physical and mental situation, Being slim and fit helps

I be tiger for bed, I be tiger for bed.

Na when you jam nymphomaniac, you go understand the meaning of the Yoruba phrase "olomi lo ma re".

2wice a week of quality sex is enough i.m.o for a busy couple. But apparently, hin no dey last. Cos Babes normally offer aphrodisiacs to their guys when they peak too soon.

Roby Ekpo: Baba, in a week, I fit knack like twice I dey alright.

Twice a week is not fair bro, you no try

Twice a week in public is actually twice a month in private.

Twice a week is actually poor.
