I am dropping this note for the haters who are about to start bashing d'banj.You guys claim don jazzy has been doing well but the weird moment you realize don jazzy and the whole mavin crew only did 1 major concert in the last 2 years, had mtn endorsement which was shared among the whole mavins and had a cheap loya milk endorsement while d'banj on the other hand.
1)Re-signed a bettr deal with Globacom
2)He became ONE campaign ambassador and was on the same stage with president of world bank
3)He won world music awards
4)His song"Top of the world was the AFCON theme" and was performed at the AFCON 2013 closing ceremony held in South Africa.
5)He also performed at the Hackney Weekend to celebrate the 2012 Summer Olympics, which was headlined by Jay-Z and Rihanna
6)He was also selected as the Ambassador of Bank of Industry
7)He was signed to Mercury Records
He became the ambassador for BEATS by dre
9)His song "Bother you" was the official sound track of half of the yellow sun movie
10)He also went into partnership with Sony Music Entertainment
11)He also headlined Hennessy Artestry 2013 alone. which also gave him the opportunity to travel to france to make his own brand of hennesy(Legendary)
12)In that 2 years his hit song was all over European charts.
If i am not mistaken, no artist in Nigeria has been able to achieve this feet of success in just 2 years.Open your eyes well and see who the real boss is.I think Don jazzy should just go back and beg d'banj because when tiwa leaves mavins then he will blame himself..Don jazzy is still pretty much doing the same thing he has been doing all this while,and you guys call that progress!!!! D'banj is the real meaning of progress here to me.I am sure don jazzy has gone down financially a bit because d'banj is the main artist who brought many deals and endorsements during mohits era. Tiwa didn't even sign a full contract with mavin so maybe don jazzy is only getting 20% from whatever tiwa makes.
I will also advice the new mavin kids to leave before they end up like wande,because i remember he never had a house or a big car or made any progress but thank God he later grabbed an endorsement after he left.The mavin kids can just start working alone and make it like davido,oritse femi, patoranking and so on..Because if they do not leave, Don jazzy will only use them like he used wande.

This is the most sincere post here.

Tribalism fueled a lot of responses here. The Igbos here will NEVER vote for a Yoruba over their own. lai lai!

Bootybuttchic:

mk3jax and @op God will help ur marriage just be praying,remember God can do everything....and try communicating with her.....i pray she is the type that can understand sha..,.cos when u talk to some people,what they understand iswhat they are thinking from their own mind.....they just go all anticlockwise on u.....it is well

Correct babe!

Don't mind all these family section NLers. I have seen through most of them and I'm no longer impressed with their "mature" posts. mtcheeeeeeeeew.

chukwudi44:
The fact that we do not use electoral college system means it is the number of votes cast that will decide the winner and not the no of states won.Consider the percentage of xtians/SS/SE in the north and sw and then compare with the percentage of muslims/hausas/yorubas in the SE/SS and tell me what you see.

That is why Buhari was winning by 50-60% while GEJ was winning by over 90% and ended up winning the election

You are so irritating! Must you view everything through tribe and religion?

Oga Fash. I love you but you are OYO on this.

This thread is front page material nau.

mesoade:
In igboland.
A gal is made to carry a pot filled with water to d brim to the house of d boy his mum wishes to marry 4 her,d essence of d filled pot is to show attention to the cleavages of the gal due to splashes of water dat'll spill on her

Yeah I've heard that. VERY seductive.

Igbo Kwenu!

Please What does the title Eze Nwanyi Odoziaku Mean?

How, why, and who is it used for?

Lol at people saying this will separate PSquare.

Those guys are VERY close. They are like husband and wife. They fight like crazy yes, but they also ball and hug like crazy. They still live in the same house even though they are both married. They only go to their wives during weekends and holidays.

I don't think even death can separate them.

Definitely Olympic milk couldn't afford the two of them, Peter being the more outgoing one, got it, with Paul's go-ahead. They are Igbo guys and since making money is in their genes, they figured it will be best for one to go and get the money anyhow anyhow, let them just get something. Lol!

freeradical:
why should a catholic convert to protestantism....isn't that a regression? The protestants came out of the cathoic church for crying out loud.

Regression o. Conversion o. Whatever you want to call it. Catholics are damn stubborn.

tman4real21:
when christ was baptised, doest it mean he was a sinner like odas dt got baptised? Ds answers ur question.

Hell no it doesn't

Forgiveness of sin and baptism are different things. Also, John the baptist recognized Jesus as the saviour of the world.

It's easier for a muslim to covert to Christianity than for a Catholic to become a protestant.

I have counted more Muslim - Christian converts than Catholic - protestant

Tiwa is one of the most beautiful black creatures I have ever seen.

She just needs a good stylist ASAP.

Bishopskiss:
Nice. Real cool. U should change the 'shy n introvert guy' to 'a very boring dude'. U know i used to be like that. God knows i hated myself. Guess people like u will hate d way i am now.
Lets go back a bit.
* u luv blushes? Whoever said dats a guarantee for a happy relationship. Just so u know, the so called bad guys like me can blush too.
* he comes out at night? Dats shyness at its worst dont u think? Or maybe he is a dull vampire.
* he is always at the back? Believe me. Back in my school days, we had no such jerk at the back seat with us. As for him being at the back of d line clapping for others, it sucks to be him.
* he never cheats? Oh gimme a break. He won't cos he can't. Girls make him sweat especially d pretty ones but I'll bet if another girl comes onto him he wil... U know d rest.
Just so u know, wat u call arrogance is actually courage. Besides drink n weed is done by everyone stupid enof to indulge in them whether de r introverts or extroverts
Finally, y did u guys break up if he was so perfect?

blakky97:
This is the problem- its not a guy's duty to always entertain you

Sorry o. So what's his duty? Coach me? Lecture me?

Abegi! Take it from me, a relationship/marraige should be at least 65% fun (which includes good sex/body language, outdoor activities/outing, doing stuff together (like eating, watching TV) playing indoor games. Then 40% of brainstorming, planning, etc.

Odawise, Odikwa very frustratingly boring.

Yeah she's beautiful.

Happy birthday to her.

hehehehehehehhehehehe

Laughing my asss off.

OP congratz o. You don get bobo be dat. Your post just touched the hearts of 90% of active NL guys (they are introverts)






















They'd bore me to death!

My Linda! I love that babe.

Carry go jare.

sexzskil:
YET, THIS DOESN'T MEAN HE WILL EVER GET TO MEET DRE FACE TO FACE

Huh? You are underrating D'banj o. Do you know how far and wide Olivertwist went? If he could do a collabo with Snoop I see no reason why Dre should be just a tall dream.

Now THIS is what I call an endorsement deal!

Not all those MTN, glo, etc endorsements That can only buy one Lamborghini. This one is in cool hard dollars. Enough to settle his generations.

Smooyis:
Soon they will also learn from us how to overcome terrorism, after we might have defeated the stupid boko haramists and flush them out of our territory.

I say BIG AMEN to that!

God bless Nigeria!

Look at all the hypocrites shouting "we don't give a damn" "she wants attention" Yet you all can't get your eyes and hands off any thread with Tiwa in it?
smh

Nigerians! Learn to mind your damn business and stop speculating and drawing conclusions on other people's lives until you have first hand information.

So many immature replies here.

Then again, this is NL romance section..........

englishmart: I don't do any of those crappy stuff.

Well that might be because I was born and broght up in the states.

You no be Naija nau. Sorry.

We pray the video the fake.

azeeza: Make i add this one for you, if no lick plate and finger after meal you are no naijas.

real naijas dey finish all their before them go chop meat.

Lol!

Rich peeps don't lick plate na. We talking about things all Naijas do. Whether rich or poor.

Odikwa very risky

Hello all! I'm creating this this as part of the independence celebrations.

Nigeria! Don't you just love even the sound of the name? God bless Lord Lugard's babe/wife without her, we wouldn't have coined the swaggerful Naija slogan. I so love that word (Naija)

Ehn o jare, we have Nigerians and we have Naijas.

Nigerians are Nigerians by virtue of parental roots or by naturalization. Hakeem Olajuwon, Derrick Obasohan, Victor Ukpolo, Teju Cole, etc and some other people in Nigeria are Nigerians quite alright but they would get lost in a crowd of other Americans or even Africans. Nothing to make them stand out.

Then we have Naijas. Naijas are Nigerians, whether rich or poor who have Naija genes running through their DNAs. This is why I shake my head at people who say that Nigeria should part because Nigerians have nothing in common or that Northern Nigerians are too different from southern Nigerians. Common sharrraap dia! Whether you are from Borno,Cross River, Lagos, Imo, or Sokoto you be Naija proper if you have the following traits;


10. Spraying Money At Parties; If you have never sprayed money money before it must be because you are poor, if you don't enjoy people spraying you money (even if you are Dangote's child) search yourself well, you no be Naija. Sorry.

9. Garbage In Garbage Out; Ha! How dare you just walk up to me and start insult me or my child? Ko ni da fun e! Even if I no wan abuse you there and then, I go save am for my mind in Microsoft word.

8. It's A Taboo To Say Or Ask For A Person's Real Age; A typical British girl will be like "hey I'm Samantha Barrimore, I'm 34 years old and I'm a HR officer in London" A Nigerian girl will be like "Hi I'm Nike Bamidele, I'm a Customer Care Rep and I live in Lagos" Only God knows why you will look at someone murderously for asking your age o! Both male and female. Why are we so scared of your ages? Why is it reserved for only family members? Only a few of us are comfortable enough to say our correct ages. Just about 10%.

7. Titles; Yes you! You call your sister that is just 3 years your senior "aunty" you like your younger siblings calling you "uncle" you cannot differentiate between cousin and niece/nephew. you will call your aunty's son your nephew simply because you are 5 years older. Na wetin all these "aunty" and "uncle" wan do for una life? You see yasefs? Small time pesin go go school earn small degree, na "Dr Mrs" go dey your documents now o. Small chieftancy title like that wey Igwe dash you, we no go hear word again, Na now "Chief Dr, Barrister" wetin be "very/most reverend" again nau? Those ones small sef, what of all ones wey dey put MSC, FCS, CON, CFR, OFR,? Oya come add WAEC, UME join nau? smh.
Kai! Our politicians and their aides ooooooooo wetin be "Driver to the cook to the PA to the special assistant to the Adviser to the President of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria"? Habatically!

6. You don't Make Use Of Table Knives and Teaspoons In Your Cutlery Set; Most especially the knife. Don't mind nollywood o! Imagine a man coming home from work after a hard day at work to sit at the dining table with fork and knife to eat rice? Say wetin happen na? We eat with either spoon or fork while seated on the floor or on the sofa. Simple! Except when entertaining formal guests, dinning tables are more or less provision stands. Highest na to use tray or a side stool. Abi no be so?

5. Superstitions; Even the "Chief Dr Mrs" and the "Chief Prof. Dr" have one kain superstitious belief or the other. My own superstition is that I dey fear pesin wey dey sleep with one or two eyes half open dey look me. Abasi mbok! Please o! I no wan follow you go ya meeting. Thanks!

4. Love For Naija Food; A Naija proper will always have that satisfied smile when coming out of a restaurant that offers Naija food in Naija style. Wives, you will agree with me that the way your hubby looks at you when he just finished eating his favourite soup with swallow while picking his teeth is different from when you serve him spaghetti. Most people have swallow for lunch especially when at home or after a hard days work at the office. Biko wives, if you like serve your mother-in-law rice or pasta when they just came from their home town. Pray Amadioha did not follow them from there sha o.

3. Love For Naija Music; If you are at a party and you dance better when Beyonce or Usher, or Chris Brown music is on better than you dance to Wizkid, Iyanya, Davido, Flavour, Psquare music, YOU ARE NOT NAIJA. Sorry.

2. Aso Ebi Even if you are like me that will not do aso ebi for white wedding, at least you must do for your trad. Even if you don't even do at all, at least your mum or your mum-in-law's committee of friends, family (or whatever they like to call themselves at owanbes) did not make aso ebi for your wedding or big celebration, lai, lai, you no fit be Naija. At all at all

1. Pidgin English/Unique Naija words and phrases; No matter who you are or what you do, from the highest North to the deepest south, to the farthest east or west, a Naija must understand Nigerian pidgin English and also our unique words and phrases. If Dangote speak pidgin for you ehn! Forget all the wanna-be accents in their songs but when dem Psquare and all those TV presenters are with their people, if you hear them ehn! So you wan tell me say you no dey hear pidgin? If I hear! Anyway, if you really do not understand Naija English, then sorry but YOU NEVER EVEN HEAR THE WORD "NAIJA"

Nice thread.

OP made it very interesting with the pics and memes.

Those of you mentioning our fore fathers, don't you know most of them just grew used to each other because they had no other choice? In those days women had little or no say about their marital happiness. So they just stomached it or learnt to dance in the rain.

nduchucks: Some of you people gloating about this topic are pathetic. Ebola potentially threatens the lives of millions of people majority of who may be pellow Aficans. The US has sent 3000 medical personnel to Liberia to help and study the characteristics of this virus and are now sending a handful of experts to study the containment of the disease in Nigeria. This issue is too serious to be gloating about.

Medical experts are being sent to Senegal, a country where the virus seems to have been contained as well.

Those of you who would like to attribute this Ebola containment to politicians are outright ignorant. The success was due to:

(1) Swift action of our top Doctors and more importantly,

(2) The result of an emergency command center financed in 2012 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to fight polio. As soon as the outbreak began, it was turned into the Ebola Emergency Operations Center. Without that top notch facility turned into Ebola Emergency Operations center, the story would have been different.

(3)The US Center for Disease Control had 10 experts in Nigeria working on polio and H.I.V., who had already trained 100 local doctors in epidemiology; 40 of them were immediately reassigned to Ebola and oversaw the contact tracing.

Ignorance kills.

Very true.

And please those of you shouting Nano silver. Keep quiet abeg.

FGjobs: How we tamed Ebola...
1. Their Doctors should go on strike, so the disease will know its been neglected.

2. Their Government should fire almost all her Doctors, so the disease will know that they don't even send it.

3. Then build containment centers, if the disease know its been neglect and they don't send it, it will walk through the door...

Funny but true.

Fact is that, that doctors strike played a very major role in this ebola containment thing.

I do not want to imagine if Sawyer or any other ebola patients had been taken to LUTH or a general hospital.
