ChinenyeN: Hence the expression: agwo no n'akirika.

@Topic: I find it interesting that snakes (or the python) receive(s) such a tolerable treatment up in that region, whereas it is normal to kill them and collect their sloughed skin in my area.

It is a common knowledge that where wild animals are shown love and not hunted down savagely they (no matter how fercious) tend to be docile although not in all cases but the possibilities of being docile are very high!

BinghiNya: igbo kwenu kwezeonu,the highest percentage of criminals are igbo they love win at all cost buncha criminals

I spotted something strange in your signature change that first then we can talk!

The injury is not that serious as being magnified by the media, and whether haters like it not Messi is smashing Gerd Muller's record and creating a new one in a calendar year before this year ends!

From all feelers if the above topic is anything to go by, Michel Platini and the UEFA Board are considering scrapping the Europa League come 2014 and making the Champions League bigger and better by allowing for 64 clubs as participants.

No matter how hard these Islamic Fundamentalists try to frustrate the government of Jonathan they with their sponsors shall fail woefully and come 2015 Jonathan will still emerge as the President if they like they can go to blazes! I think it is glaring enough for all to see that the future of Nigeria can no longer be entrusted into the hands of the core North!

naturalwaves: A lot of points you raised up there are so laughable. Replying to them will just derail the thread. You know what? Open another thread, create whatever you wanna debate wrt the above and holla at me. Trust me, I will come give you the full dose.

One thing I enjoy about ur debating style is that u are a big fan of dbanj and that beclouds your sense of judgment. I think no matter the points I raise they will look funny to you! Truly I understand ur sentiments!

Very unassuming, humble, focused and a pleasing personality to his players such are the words to describe a man who within three and half years (1999/2000 to 2002/2003) of taking charge of the most successful club in history, Real Madrid, won seven unforgettable trophies! The trophies include; two UEFA Champions Leagues in 2000 and 2002, two La Liga titles in 2001 and 2003, one European (UEFA) Super Cup in 2002, Intercontinental cup in 2002 and one Spanish Super Cup in 2001. Only Pep Guardiola, former coach of F.C Barcelona (2008/2009 to 2011/2012 season) can boast of a better record than Bosque within such a short period. He successfully managed 104 wins out of a possible 186 in his time as a coach of Real Madrid, it would be recalled that he achieved all these successes despite that he had no control over transfer policy, team selection and other aspects of club. What many have failed to realize is that this same man was already a “Bernabeu Legend” for winning five La Liga titles (then called league championships) and four Spanish cups (now Copa del Rey) as a player in the 1970s.

A known man of principle and a committed worker to the core. Despite being a great achiever within that short space of time with Real Madrid, he was shown the door on June 24, 2003 – just days after winning the club’s 29th La Liga title. For that power play on the part of the management (President Florentino Perez and General Manager Jorge Valdano), it took four years and eight managers for Madrid to win another title in 2007 under the Italian legend, Fabio Capello. Right now, Vincente Del Bosque remains the first and for now the only football manager in history to win a World Cup, European Championship and 2 Champions League (the peaks of football competitions) besides other trophies! He remains the first and only football manager in history to win his first 10 games as debut manager of a national team. One interesting thing about Del Bosque is that, he is not showing signs of fatigue even at 62, with many years ahead one can imagine what he still has to offer. Indeed, he is unique and these intimidating records will surely stand the test of time. Kudos to this “King of Football Managers”!

[quote author=gree-die]And I finally saw the dolphins....... Jah be praised[/quote]What took you so long? Anyway congrats you saw them at last, your mind is pure

naturalwaves: Hahahahah, those who live by the sword die by the sword. This your point is gonna put you into trouble.lolz. You said he has become a clown? Very funny. Who is more of a clown? A single Artiste that has released about 3 average singles since he broke from a group or a 5 man team that cannot collectively release any song in the class of the one that was released while Dbanj was there. The 5 man team of course! In this case, 5 heads cannot even prove that they are better than 1 and you call the 1 a clown? That's a void argument. Try another one.



Well, there is no rule that states that Artistes must necessarily acknowledge their producers when being given awards for a song. Doing it is just for doing sake and not doing it does not necessarily imply that the Artiste is proud. It is a professional thing where everyone does what he or she is expected to do.

Moreover, I have seen Don Jazzy collect the best producer Award several times and he didn't acknowledge any Artiste too while receiving his award. Sentimental debates will do us no good.

BTW,how does your whole post affect the subject matter of this thread?

Oh I nearly forgot, a Tuface is a titan compared to a D'banj, please let's compare Tuface to legends in Africa like our own Femi Kuti and the likes, I hope you got it right now my bro

I hope you don't mind if we dig down on this debate again my bro? I don’t need anyone (the press, especially Nigerian Press whom I considered most times are fond of celebrating mediocrities) to tell me how good a song is, at my age and based on my longtime (over 25 years) romance with beautiful songs (I mean real beautiful ones be it Nigerian and foreign ones) I can easily identify with real songs from real artiste! Now this is where I have problem with you folks (d’banj apologists)! At least, I can speak for myself here that I am not hating on his success, trust me he is doing very well for himself, for his fans and family but the truth be told he is not representing Africa, stop fooling yourself, he is merely representing himself! He is not opening any door for anyone I don’t know when you start familiarizing with anything music in Nigeria. Fela, King Sunny Ade, Majek Fashek and Femi Kuti will qualify to be the true ‘door opener’ for any Nigerian Acts, these legends were sought after during their times by great American Labels (from Arista, Polygram, Island, Motown, to Interscope Records) not them ‘chasing American Labels around’, these legends have done headlines collabo with great American superstars, these legends can handle one or more musical instruments well and dish out monster hits, these legends were known worldwide far afield to Eastern Europe! King Sunny Ade and Femi Kuti came close to getting 2 Grammy Awards nominations apiece at a time Grammy still has its flavor unlike now that Grammy has been rubbished, after a Kanye West will go upstage to grab microphone from a Taylor Swift because he felt a Beyonce should have been given the award – absolute show of shame! Trust me, I have heard the best of tunes, this may be too convoluted for you to understand but those who know what I am talking about will understand!

And this is the one who claims he is Africa’s finest (disturbingly arrogant to high heavens)! He has collections of monikers ranging from; koko-master, mensah, skibanj, eja nla, igwe, Mr Endowed, oyato (just one man). Indeed, D’banj is a perfect example of; ‘an empty drum makes the loudest noise’. After his hit single, ‘Oliver Twist’ produced by Don Jazzy before their break-up, he has managed to dish out three funny, nursery-rhymes; he called one ‘Sister Claro’, a song he featured in for his brother, Kay Switch and his own song, ‘Oyato’, we all know what happened to those songs and now 'Mr Bachelor' you and I know that's another crap from D'banj. I thought he said he is too good to be labeled an African artiste, but would rather preferred a new recognition, ‘International artiste’, indeed D’banj is delusional to think he had conquered Nigeria musically, let alone Africa not to mention going into the mainstream. I thought he said, he can churn out the best of beats from his staples, unfortunately he has been finally ‘Akpanised’ by Kanye West (a confirmed jackass, according to Barack Obama based on Kanye’s numerous stage bust ups during awards shows). D’banj is just running around for cheap publicity. That’s what you get for biting the ‘finger that once fed you’! Leave it or take it, he is gone musically!

If I am not mistaken below are the lists of the top ten International Music Stars recognized in Africa by CNN in their order of preference as at December 2011, includes;
• Asa (Nigeria),
• K’naan (Somali),
• Nneka (Nigeria),
• Rocky Dawuni (Ghana),
• 2face (Nigeria),
• Amadaou et Mariam (Mali),
• Youssou N’ Dour (Senegal),
• Salif Keita (Mali),
• Ladysmith Black Mambazo (South Africa) and,
• Cesaria Evora (Cape Verde Islands).

In this era, a Tuface, a Femi Kuti, an Nneka and an Asa are clearly the leading lights when it comes to making the news in real music in the International arena. There is something unique about Asa that makes those who are 'matured musically' to just fall in love with her genre of music; she is a master of her own flow!

Here comes the queen of Naija hits! I just love the maturity in this babe's video, well done ASA!

Just few days to shout 'Happy and Prosperous New Year' a fool just allowed himself to kiss the world goodbye! Can you imagine that?

I have always maintained that Lionel Andre Messi is out of this world! Nice and good job OP!

safarigirl: let us see d'banj after Oliver Twist (a jazzy production) is it oyato or bachelor that has made him better? You dey naija so? So go low, been long you saw me and take banana no be hit abi? Stop living in fool's paradise,
D'banj is yet to prove himself after Oliver Twist.Na only that one una dey fling for our faces everytime in the name of star, give me something new abeg.
Btw @ the guy who said I don't know anything, my first post already stated that D'banj is currently bigger, maybe you skipped it, read well before posting, aite?

Once again you did it again, hit the nail on the head. I have tried to stay away from this thread but you just brought me in to it. D'banj is simply a 'clown'! No more hit after 'oliver twist' that was mastered and mixed by the Don himself, Don Jazzy! I remembered on the other thread you said something like, 'if he wins something on his oliver twist he will not acknowledge Don Jazzy', guess what, he did just that! You are a good mind reader gurl!!!

Nairaland means a lot to me a place of fun, information, interaction, to learn, to make new friends (enemies)and to sum it up it is more than a UNIVERSITY to me, just read this; https://www.nairaland.com/1030367/nairaland-worth-more-than-university

Paulaok4: Initially just a man and a woman, but when you said dolphin went back nd looks hard, finally saw dem in d shadows....so my mind is corrupt abi?

I no talk am ooooo!!!

As far as I am concerned, they all look like touts to me, no ill-feelings though!

Leadn: Ojukwu was a HE-GOAT!

I am proudly Ibo btw...

See how the Ojukwu who all these fellow country-men 'worshipped' is bringing a total shame to his abode #SMH

Labeling a man of Ojukwu Status a 'He-Goat' is unheard of and to say the least immature, I am not Igbo, but if I may advise you, I will say, 'get some brains son'

Omo you na go kill me men all those pixs funny die, Nairaland you na toooooooooooooooo muuuuccccccccccccccchhh, anyway let me contribute my quota tooo

yamakuza: na wa oh! y e come reject the isi-ewu na?

abi d thing hook am for longthroat?

Normally it is natural for them to experience such when the prey being swallowed is giving them serious digestion problem so to avoid constipation (as we humans call it) the next thing is to regurgitate!

aribisala0: You are foolish beyond help

Seconded!!!

Vanneni: we wud neva know 4 real till He appears on the last day. Read in some place that, that common picture of the supposed face of Jesus is actually a demon.

Never mind people must always have something to say, until Christ returns in glory then we can behold him as HE is really HIS!

funky19: Saw all the dolphins this is waoh

thanks for looking 'deeply', you must be a Pastor, others were seeing two cuddling adults (evidence of a corrupted mind)

Vanneni: offcourse He is real but we don't really know what He looks like. Some peope who claimed He appeared to them said He had short brown hair. Some others say, it's short,golden,spikey hair.... till He comes and we'll see Him as He really is.

I agree with you

Vanneni: d first tym we saw it 1 of ma frnd was actually praying 2 it. Idolatory indeed.

I am not a Catholic, and I don't subscribe to image worshiping, that is Idolatry according to Biblical doctrines and standard! Images of Angels, demons, devils are all around based on experiences from people who encountered them, and truly some people have encountered Jesus, the more reason a particular image is attached to him!

[quote author=Red-Light]yep i saw the dolphins ... those black spots .... but its only saw 7[/quote]Do your counting gently, you must see 9 dolphins!!!...I am waiting

fellis: This statement is false.

How? Can you be more specific or shed more light on why it is false?

chuckzoid: Wonderful. I saw the picture of Jesus in a circular light. How did you get this?
