IMO, Simi is still d best female artist in Nigeria. She has good lyrics, good melody, Her voice is amazing and she knows music in depth....
She just doesn't get d credit she deserves, While some wacky female singers with poor lyrics. are shining instead ...
I want her to win many awards this year

i hope you re not referring to tiwa?

paulstrings:
You are Wonderful... Poe too and Ric Hassani

Poe is not rising abeg, Poeis what i wud call underrated.

Anyways, i dnt see think humblesmith would make any song beta dan Osinachi.

he might be right. Everytin about Lagos is hell. That reminds me of wen I wanted to buy a piece of land in 2009, I had the option of ibadan and Lagos, i actually went for ibadan land not because it was cheap but for Lagos wahala like noise, pollution, traffic, school fees wahala and these so called agents of extorting wen you fall for them.

who is talking about him being right or wrong?

abbaapple:

alien spotted

no be wetin person moni reach e go buy?

TTLHORLA:
Lol

Mall! Mall!= Tourist!! higher tax revenues!! Job opportunitues!!!

More Malls = More imported goods= More consumption of the imported goods. developed countries don't look for malls to build and then stock it with imported goods.

Bolustic:
Oga, it would develop the economy in many ways:

-As the construction is ongoing, it has already provided jobs
-Upon completion, sales girls, security guards, drivers etc would be employed
-Lagos would generate more tax
-Residents of such area can go there anytime to buy goods since it is 24hrs operated
-It will automatically become a bus stop
-Students can go there on excursions

In a way u re right, but then it sets up back by miles, because most of the products that would be sold in the said malls would definitely be imported...i hope u get? yea, i know u do.

MOFAZIT:
I'm a graduate of MSc. Biochemistry.. (64%).. The hustle has been tight so far. I have written so many assessment, passed many and fail few but I've not been able to pass the interviews.
I'm a good critical thinker, I can provide solution to wide range of problems.

My weakness is that I'm not a good orator and I believe that the reason I've not been able to pass the interviews.

currently, I'm very depressed due to my last interview. I know I'm far better than what I portray at the interview....

I can take any job apart from marketing because of my weakness.

I'm currently working as an administrative assistant at a friend's shop...

Tomorrow will surely be better.

Just an advice, try to embrace situations that would make u talk in public or address people more, it doesn't matter the place, church, meetings, it's actually an art dat can be mastered. God bless you.

i think the best thing is for the traffic officials to switch the lights off, or set them all to red.
However, if the lights are working i'll rather obey the LASTMA official for two reasons;
1. The official is on ground and has a better understanding of the traffic situation than a programmed light.
2. I seriously would not want to get into trouble with any Traffic Officer, especially in Lagos State with its PENALTY everywhere.

lawyer:
I don't think the Op understands what it means to be signed by a major record label and what it entails. I used to be an entertainment lawyer and i have seen first hand what goes into signing an artist to an international label and the risks the label takes signing artists. Most of the complains here deals with money and exposure the artist claims he is not getting from the label but no one wants to talk about the underlining issues that deals with signing a record contract.

First of all you have to know that a record label is a business and its number one priority is to make money. No label would sign any artist that would not rake in profits. Its not a foundation or NGO where they dash out free money for artists to waste and buy expensive things for no reason. Every dollar must be accounted for. What people don't know is that every time they sign an artist for Bleep million dollars, that money is like a loan given to the artist in advance to shoot videos, record songs in studios, hire producers, pay radio djs and vjs, push their cds to music bloggers, writers and radio stations, pay for equipment, pay for the artist's image and P.R etc. In return the label must recoup what they have given to the artist in terms of sales of their cds, concerts, appearance, endorsement and merchandise. That's why they have to control their image and creative rights so that they can successfully market the artist to recoup their money.

The problem arises when the artist agrees to take a huge advance of the Bleep millions he signed for and spends it recklessly. They spend so much on videos that won't yield any profit. They spend a lot purchasing flashy things to maintain a flashy lifestyle. They spend a lot on costly studios productions and mismanage the money. They move with a large entourage and pay for everything the entourage purchases. They are always popping champagne and living a lavish lifestyle in clubs and frolicking with women. Meanwhile the contract states that they must sell above 100,000 or more cds so that the label can break even but the artist has not even finished recording the songs talk less of marketing the song to the public. The contract also states the sharing profit formular for both the artist and the label ( maybe a 60/40 sharing ratio..60 FOR LABEL AND 40 FOR ARTIST) but the artist has already taken his advance of the 40% but he expects the label to still share the cd sales profit and concert profits when the label has not recouped anything. How do you expect the label to act when its running at a loss?

Most artists don't know the Label is like a bank. They borrow you an advance and expect a full repayment with interest. Once the Label is having difficulties in achieving its aim, it becomes aggressive and engage in drastic cuts to limit the expensive lifestyle and actions of the artist. Its that moment you begin to see the artist complaining that the label is cheating them but you would never see the artist tell the public that he was given Bleep amount of money in advance which they squandered. They expect the label to share the cd sales 50/50 or the concert profits 50/50 because they have achieved the fame they craved for without enriching the pockets of the label. Nobody would agree to that.

Look at most artists today. They don't have lawyers that study their contracts, they don't have accountants to manage their funds, they don't have sensible managers that advise them on what to spend and what to save. Its all about achieving fame and spending lavishly to impress the public without working hard to make money for themselves and the label. The label would not allow them go and break the contract without them recouping their profit and if the artist attempts to run, they would set a plethora of lawyers on them to conform until they recoup their money or break even. There is simply no free lunch contrary to what the public thinks. Some artists are so ignorant that they sign 5 or 6 year deals with a label because they promised them Bleep millions but they forget that the contract is binding as long as you took their money. They even sign without lawyers and pose for the cameras for bloggers to hail them as the next Michael Jackson only for them to start crying after 1 year when they don't see the projected income they were dreaming of. So if you are going to blame the Label also remember the artist is also at fault. No body would dash any artist free money to waste lavishly and not suffer the repercussions. The label is not their family member. Its a business pure and simple. If you collect their money, you must work for it. Its that simple!
