Politics / Re: Although America Failed To Connect The Dots,nigeria Still Paid Dearly For It. by tundewoods(m): 7:06pm On Jan 09, 2010 |
@ poster, mama-gee I kind of agree with your posts but let me just chip in that feel things may not have gotten out hand to this extent if we really an inspiring and vibrant leadership. Assuming or just Imagine Donald Duke was the president when this happened. I bet he would have addressed the nation and even gone as far to have it aired live on CNN. And immediately jet of to White House to meet with Obama. This is what i expected a reasonable government to have done. I bet the collateral damage would not have been this fatal. |

@ Ijele-igbo T- 14 is the terrorist (Countries) watch list ! My guy i guess you are either a human rights activist or probably a politician to carry this nations woes on your head. Face it. Move on and try to be a better person as an individual. Thats what Nigeria needs right now not a bunch of anonymous people behind computers trading blames and calling each other names. |

Ijele-igbo: You see this is the candid point that i am trying to make. Here you go a portioning the blame to a religion. And its such typical back and forth abuses and blames that most of you folks love to trade on NL. face the honest truth and that is no matter how much fighting and bickering goes on all your threads on NL. I[b]t wouldn't change a single thing.[/b] Learn to move on and face your life, As for me i got my immediate family (wife and kids) to worry about and not just spend hours online lamenting and trading blames on the cause of our countries woes. |

A friends twitter update status: The above statement is a friend's twitter status update.Unlike most of you guys on NL, that are at each others throats,quarreling and calling each other names,throwing abuses and blame on Nigeria's woes. Its time you wake up and live with your new status and brace yourselves to move on. At least the guy with this twitter update has done that by consoling himself with humor. And has since moved on. I won't kill myself with hypertension or high blood pressure simply due to this sleeping Giant you guys call Nigeria. |

Politics / Is Nigeria Gradually Becoming A Failed State ? by tundewoods(m): 5:34pm On Jan 05, 2010 |
The 2009 Index’s failed states (Alert! category) are (from order of failure): Somalia, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Guinea, Pakistan, Cote d’Ivoire, Haiti, Myanmar, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, North Korea, Yemen, Bangladesh, East Timor, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Niger, Burundi, Nepal, Cameroon, Guinea-Bissau, Malawi, Lebanon, Republic of the Congo, Uzbekistan, Sierra Leone, Georgia, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Tajikistan and Iran. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Failed_States_Index For me as an individual my attention to this word "Failed State" started when i heard a reporter on CNN refer to Yemen as a failed state shortly after the Delta airline bomb attempt on Dec. 25. Now Nigeria is gradually being refered to as a failed state. Goodness ! Honestly,It doesn't get any worse than this.

Programming / Re: Nigerian, Kehinde Adeyemi, Among Best Global IT Developers by tundewoods(m): 9:42am On Jan 04, 2010 |
Once again,Nigerians as usual with their ego bashing comments on an appluadable feet by one of their own. Ok, I know that poster may have over streched the topic with the use of the words "Breaks IT Record". But we all know that the Kehinde Adeyemi guy set a record being the only African on the top winners list. When we talk business or enterprise application development ,I guess most of us IT guys know that Oracle DB is the standard,when it comes to Back End. So i guess the thread and its achievement is still on point. My own little 2 cents |

Politics / Office Of The Prophet General Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria by tundewoods(m): 2:12pm On Jan 02, 2010 |
With each passing day i get tired of seeing newspapers headlines of so called prophets or primates predicting this or that regards to our country Nigeria,of which its usually negative and political related prophesies which in most cases hardly hits bulls eye. After going through the following threads on NL : Primate Ayodele’s 2010 Shocker -democracy Will Break Nigeria https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-372099.0.html Prophets Disagree Over Yar’adua’s Return https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-374553.0.html I recommend that FG may have to appoint or create the Office of the Prophet General. So that we can reduce all the sources of so called prophesies to be channeled through a single source. And have him fired when ever he fails to deliver. |

Politics / Conflicting Photo Representation Of Umar Farouk Mutallab by tundewoods(m): 6:14pm On Jan 01, 2010 |
I know most folks are tired of reading and hearing of the Umar Farouk Mutallab story,but i'm just a bit confused about the initial photo representation of the dude that was initially published when the news first broke out. Honestly i'm just curious to know if the second photo i posted below is actually Umar or that of someone else. The photographs in my opinion seem like that of 2 different people.

@ Now why do you cats always like to fight about every thing on this forum ! WOW ! I laugh in Hebrew. Personally i think the track is alright and the collaboration is also in order. Regarding the bone of contention which is the catch phrase "follow me blindly like Stevie Wonder's Twitter page". I think this is basically what you call a random use of Metaphor,Hyperbole & Oxymoron. You guys shouldn't start sweating it arguing about cats that are already paying their bills while you guys own bill pile up. |

Music/Radio / 20 Years Later : A Retrospective Of 1990's Rap Music by tundewoods(m): 5:33pm On Dec 25, 2009 |
How time flies,2010 is fast approaching and was going through my old suff and i bumped into my first copy of Black Beat Magazine i got back in 1990 for 2 Naira. LOL ! flipping through it brought back the memories of what we listened to back in secondary school when Naija rap was yet to even evolve. These were the rap albums that shaped 1990 back then. 9. EPMD - Business As Usual Business as usual? EPMD's third entry was anything but. The classic soul production that blessed their first two had evolved into frenetic blasts of funk, the rhymes had grown increasingly confrontational. 8. Brand Nubian - One for All On their debut album, Grand Puba, Sadat X, Lord Jamar, and DJ Alamo brought political commentary and spirituality to the forefront, excelling with sensible tunes like "Slow Down" and "Wake Up." 7. Gang Starr - Step in the Arena Virtually fresh on the scene, Guru and DJ Premier quickly stood out from their peers by meshing thoughtful lyrics with snazzy, sample-heavy tracks. 6. LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out After dropping two mediocre albums back-to-back, Cool J decided to heed his grandmother's instruction to knock his critics straight to the curb. 5. Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Wanted: Dead or Alive G Rap diversified his rhymes to include a much-needed discussion on racial divisiveness and personal responsibility. 4. A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm Through their honest and introspective rhymes, Tribe appealed to America's urban youth on their debut album. 3. Eric B. & Rakim - Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em These two made plenty of classics together, but none ever matched the intricately stitched expressionism on Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em. 2. Ice Cube - AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted Following a bitter split from N.W.A., Ice Cube filled his debut album with dark stories of manic frustration. 1. Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet That Fear of a Black Planet was not PE's best work but still managed to eclipse 99% of everything out at the time is a testament to the group's impact on 90s hip-hop. Dark, incendiary, and inevitably brutal, Fear gave yield to classics like "911 Is a Joke" and "Who Stole the Soul. Now i look back and laugh cos next years its going to be exactly 20 years ago and a whole new kingdom of rap kings and princes have emerged . I think i will try getting the original LPs of these cats and keep then for posterity sake .Because back them despoil music was damn good ! Probably jam them during my kids next birthday parties. |
Music/Radio / Re: Who Sang The "do For Love" Hook By Tupac? by tundewoods(m): 5:01pm On Dec 25, 2009 |
rapjunkie: I now agree that indeed Wikipedia does gets its facts wrong sometimes. That was the vocal of Eric Williams of Blackstreet used for the hook,undeniable and unmistakable. Agreed that Bobby Caldwell was the original performer of the song What You Won't Do for Love. By the way 1998 was a good year for hiphop music 1 Like |
