Which crap are you talking about? Sade's mother is British... After she separated with her Nigerian father, she moved back to UK with Sade... Sade was 4 at the time. Have you ever heard or seen her claiming to be a Nigerian? She lived all her adult life in UK. She only spent 4 years here... How can you call her a Nigerian musician. Let's stop claiming people who don't want any associations with Nigeria. Once again, the post on front page said.. "Nigerian based musician." Technically speaking, Sade is not a Nigerian based musician. #Fact

Obviously talking from an emotional standpoint? She was born in Nigeria and you cannot deny that fact nor does take away her accomplishments because she simply does not reside in Nigeria. Did she tell you she was not Nigerian?

kay29000:
On the frontpage, the topic said "Nigerian based musician." Shade Adu wasn't even born in Nigeria.

Wrong again. Sade Adu was born in Ibadan before moving to the UK. She was the first Nigerian to win a Grammy - fact. Why don’t people do their research before posting crap?

Senator Sani, your fada!! Thunder fire you. Idiot.

“ Bullets did not enter his body” they said it is simply because these dumbfcks have no firearms training, running around with outdated and improperly maintained pistols and have seen a couple of gangster movies so they think they are John Wick cultists are just the biggest idiots going

A piss poor workman will always blame his tools (pun not intended)

For grown folks - Boondocks, Family Guy, Afro Samurai, South Park. For anime/manga - Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul & Berserk. Walt Disney/Pixar - The Incredibles & Lion King for me.

Man stacked it I could hear the girls laughing.

Cardi B sucks both literally and figuratively. Real HipHop heads rep K.Dot, J.Cole, Joey Badass, Run the Jewels, Danny Brown, Leikeli47, Remy Ma, Travis Scott and SchoolBoy Q.

I love girls with this type of bum bum.

Bum bum you fit iron your shirt on top?

Myself and my esteemed colleagues from the Department of Justice for Social Media Stories and Pictures(DJ SMSP) hereby require a thorough forensic examination or analysis of the alleged picture by a panel experts before passing our judgement. Court is now in recess and I need my morning coffee

Drunk on the pitch? I doubt it. I'm sure it's a ploy to make an opponent lose his temper, lash out and get red carded. It backfired on this guy

The drunk bit was an aside not necessarily relating to the story.

Imarnuel04:
What's with South American players and inserting fingers up opponents bums?

Must be some weird joke to make the other party or the receiver squirm and lose control? Not necessarily a gay fantasy. Looks like it is a pyschological ploy to get the opponent off their game Oyinbos have a weird sense of humour especially when they are drunk sha.

She is not exactly a great actress and does not have a huge body of work or blockbusters to her credentials. She is not that popular so this may work to her advantage. I felt she was just a ‘filler’ on Suits and didn’t have much to offer other than being a love interest so she ain't sacrificing much with regards to her acting career becoming one of the royal family which is every girls dream. I like Harry and always knew he was not like the others in the Buckingham Palace. He is a proper guy man Wishing them marital bliss.

yvelchstores:
the jet was a gift from a family, not the artists as earlier spread

Cheers for the update.

So these are some of the label artistes who contributed to buy pastor his lastest acquisition namely a jet?

No wonder amazon became the richest after the weekend. Omo shey these people no get TV for their house ni?

This is really shocking images.

Honestly Nigeria Black Friday na real scam. I hope jumia, konga, Yudala and co are seeing this

I was just thinking the same. I bought my 48 inch 4K panasonic vierra for over a grand in 2015, bloody telly is now worth £500 but it still works and suits our viewing needs at home. Why would I get into a punch up over a bloody telly or PS4 when I walk into a shop next week or shop online to pick up a bargain?

We are talking about Hollywood and cinema. We are also talking blockbusters and directors. DC comics and Marvel comics are two different comic worlds or distinct ecosystems, some prefer apples, so prefer carrots, saying with is better is clearly subjective. Another thing is how many Nigerians actually go to the cinema or pay for content in Nigeria or actually read or buy graphic novels? This goes to the kids who have been coming with cart blanche statements on which of these comic companies is better or which comic book adaption is best.

I will consider the avid comic reader and their tastes. Hollywood is running out of ideas. All we keep seeing is reboots and team ups with all major comic heroes crammed onto the screen, avid comic and graphic novel fans are hating the malaise. Deadpool bucked the trend. It was the highest grossing R rated comic book adaptation, it outgrossed the nausea inducing Batman vs Superman and did well at the box office with $782 million. Deadpool was hilarious and gritty, it was adult fun and I adored the sarcasm, innuendos and all pop references or quips especially the gratuitous violence. So the guy who said it was overrated rubbish clearly does know what he is on about. So Marvel wins here just like Kick Ass or Punisher (Netflix), please read the graphic novels, kids commenting like they know about movies and comics just irks me.
For me the best graphic novel of all time goes to The Watchmen, Zack Sydner was able to translate it to film which most directors and producers thought would be impossible to shoot or create. The story is complex and the ending is a beauty. Rosarch is the man for me in Watchmen. He was brilliant directing 300 also (another graphic novel).

BvsS suffered because of the change in directors. There were huge expectations especially coming on the back of the phenomenal successes of the Batman franchise under Christopher Nolan.

For me, Christopher Nolan has had the best run of directing Batman. Sydner came on to direct after Nolan's epic trilogy - Batman Begins, Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises, all my favourite Batman movies which I proudly own on Blu Ray. Nolan drew inspiration from the graphic novels and his interpretations found major appeal with film audiences mostly adults because of the themes explored such as loss, sacrifice, fall from grace, hero worship, chaos theory, evil and injustice etc so for me DC has it here. Han Zimmer produces an amazing score and soundtrack. Those movies will continue to resonate with people for many years to come and the topic explored are still relevant today especially in the US.

I thoroughly enjoyed Wonder Woman, the fight choreography and her theme soundtrack is glorious and thumping so DC for me.

I suspected Justice League would suffer after the backlash of BvsS, Sydner alienated fans when he decided to cast Ben Affleck as Batman, then the ridiculous story of Martha, Doomsday was a CGI mess and did not look remotely true to the comic. He whopped Superman's arse and killed him in a long battle. The guy who played Lex Luthor was an annoying weasel, his name escapes me(good actor though but crapy portrayal) but he seems to have found his character as his hair was being cropped off in the ending scene. Wonder Woman saved this movie for me.

P.S I have tried getting into Preacher(another graphic novel not from DC or Marvel comics) I do not find any of the characters appealing and I watched a few episodes and just lost interest.

Honorable mentions - Logan, Iron Man, Avengers, Captain America Winter Soldier, Blade and Blade II, Xmen [/b]and [b]Kingsman - Secret Service. I am looking forward to Black Panther and shall be rocking my 9ja native to the cinema for my favourite African superhero from Wakanda. Joss Whedon seems to have done a good job directing Marvel blockbusters so does Matthew Vaughn for Kick Ass, Kingsman and the Xmen - First Class.

So for me both comic houses or studios will continue to fight for screen time and there is no best in the never ending battle of summer blockbusters.

Brilliant. Video evidence. Forward it to all the relevant authorities and social media. I will advise that he also makes a civil claim for unlawful arrest. By the time these bellends start paying compensation and being summoned to court, dem go learn. I will advice people start buying covert spy cameras, some as inconspicious as a pen or a shirt button they are relatively cheap. Record all police encounters discretely and watch them squirm like worms afterwards. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Nairaland is finished. Of all the important and trending topics na another grown man bear bear na hin we go see discuss or appreciate

martineverest:
I think u shud delete Google services as well, cos they are worse

So true. When Google started plotting my appointments on my calender, telling me where my car is parked, all the porns sites I have visited on my phone, all the areas I drove to? I knew there was a problem

Goggle is the biggest ‘amebo’ of the moment.

The conversation killer brought to you by the letter ‘K’

Some of us wanted to own gun legally and they refused to issue licences to law abidding citizens. Yet guns are easily available to criminals and miscreants?!

Chai. See Defense Attorney exraordinaire! You go law school true true

I wish I am but a lay man and no be movies I dey take learn the things o?

FunkyAlhaji2015:
Burna boy greatest challenge is the manager's confession. No lawyer can tell say the confession was coerced because fone records and text messages are there to back the confession. MTN only need to be subpoenaed by the court to provide all the voice records of the conversations.

The police are going bring in a language expert from Unilag to interpret the text Burna boy sent.

Too many evidence against Burna

No case is ever open and shut. A lawyer worth their salt will find weaknesses in this case.

The police have to build a solid case to take it to court.

How was the confession obtained? If it was under durress or coerced under torture, it will be inadmissible in court.

Language expert for wetin? The text is in plain English and except they were speaking Dothraki or Klingon, a language expert is irrelevant.

The text has to be understood in context to the message. At the moment if that is all the police have, then they are on a long ting

Phone records are not that easy to obtain trust me and a judge will need to look at the police case then decide.
It should be for more serious offences such as murder sha. Too many hurdles to jump and it is a bureaucratic nightmare.

Anyway we are talking of Nigeria where anything goes.

FunkyAlhaji2015:
Burna Boy can not walk free of this, he is roped too tightly. There's a confession and a motive. He acted like an amateur. Threatening Mr. 2kay publicly was his greatest undoing. He was always going to be a prime suspect with that. The confession from his manager nailed him finally. No lawyer can save him. They will only eat his money.

A good lawyer will use the police allegation to wipe his or her ass in court.

As far we know now, all this is ‘hearsay’ evidence against Burna. There is also an alleged confession which most likely was obtained under durress or torture, a court can render such evidence inadmissible or what we call fruit from the poisioned tree.
The police have a conspiracy or a joint enterprise which involves Burna, they will need to show his involvement.
The police need to show he facilitated the crime. A text message telling the victim to show the same energy next time they meet is circumstantial. Could have meant he wanted the Mr 2kay to hit the weights with energy next time at the gym or to dance energetically next time at the club. The purported text is not an offence and the threat is not explicit or immediate for threat to kill or malicious communications

Just my opinion

Really? Who the hell comes up with these assinine stories? How does that text implicate him in a robbery? Dude is telling him what like Biggie said what beef is Nigerian police are so bait! this is their evidence?

Reading some comments from so called Christians supporting this decadent purchase exemplifies the dogmatic and shallow thinking which has got Nigeria behind the rest of the developing world. You guys come on a forum created by an ‘atheist’ and just to make abusive remarks to others who simply do not share or agree with your opinion or religion? How christ like of you guys. Slow claps

“He said that most jet owners switch jets every four to five years, much like car owners, although these vehicles cost a bit more to run: depending on the size of the aircraft, it can cost between $700,000 to $4 million per year to run your own aircraft”

https://www.cnbc.com/2013/10/11/when-should-you-buy-a-jet-charter-plane-private-cost-and-prices.html

Given the cost of owning and maintaining one, I am not suprised that most rich people would prefer to lease or rent a jet. I once heard Russell Simmons owner of Def Jam and other businesses, state that it is better to lease or rent a jet because the cost of owning one is astronomically expensive!! So how can a group or a church in Nigeria afford to gift one to their pastor? Did they pay any taxes?

Would it have not made sense to do away with such a flagrant and ostentatious display of opulence given this relates to a pastor who should be emulating the frugal life of christ who concentrated on winning or saving souls instead of ‘wordly’ things? Does not make sense at all. Just my humble opinion.
