Asking for a friend? Oldest trick in the book

Couldn’t help but smile at the photographs. They deserve all the happiness. Wishing them the very best.

While Wizkid is fast gaining international recognize, he's fast losing his relevance in Nigeria and Africa.

What some Nigerian artistes don't know is that you don't need to copy the western pattern of music to gain international relevance. You can't sing better than them so why attempt to be like them?

Just look at a fast rising star like Oma Jay. See the official music video of Lo Lo and look at kind of comments from viewers all over the world. Over 2000+ comments and more than half are non-Nigerians. They love our beats, our style, our everything.

Someone should tell Wizkid that he can't sell a Western idea to Westerners. Do your Afro beat and sell it to the world.

Well said. Our 9ja artistes need to be authentic and innovative. Like Burna Boy said in an interview, he described his music as Afrofusion and like pizza with a variety of toppings or influences, his base or dough remains afrocentric albeit afrobeat.
Wizkid’s Ojuelegba remains evergreen and forges a link between those us of in the diaspora and those at home in Nigeria. That song still resonates with millions of people especially in the US and UK.

Still Singing F$cuk And Waist In This Age And Time? Lol

Halfway through the track, had to stop. The lyrics are so juvenile and as one of my 9ja faves I expected more. Let’s hope other songs on the LP are much better and suited to our ears.

Later some airhead will come here to spout nonsense about how watching BBN is for budding social scientists and behaviourists. This man has just made an admirable donation to humanity. I saw Social Dilemma on Netflix and kept thinking look at all these young oyinbos siddon dey create or develop ideas which has made them billions and able to shift global politics using social media and technology. No surprise this man emulates Bill Gates. Kudos to the guy abeg.

I will err on the side of caution. The US circular did not mention or disclose the identities or name of those who are subject to the visa ban. Sounds like conjecture and speculation at this point.

NPF is the worst police force in the world as per the World Policing Index. Stories like this one helps cement our position. Unlawful arrests of potential witnesses, no door to door canvassing to speak with witnesses or CCTV enquiries, no crime scene closure or forensic examination of the scene ( who am I kidding sef we do not even have a DNA database). The police are trying to pin the culprit on evidence gained from torture las las. The NPF require a lot of training and resources.

Am the ex
Pls kindly move on

No, fam. It’s me The queue starts after me. Just waiting for him to buy her a brand new smartphone for us to chat when he is asleep.

Please refer to the old movie “ Last American Virgin” Don’t be that guy who ends up crying when he sees his new babe with her cheating Ex’s tongue down her throat.

Hmmm...



Just a few minutes on google.....

I thought as much...

The guy was caught by iimmigration as an illegal immigrant. He tried the assylum route. Did not work.

Thanks for the research. Reading some comments on here makes me believe idiots are actually strategically allocated all over the planet so you are bound to come across one on every thread on Nairaland.

What has Daddy Freeze been smoking?

You think you can initiate reforms without cleaning out your character and lifestyle...

Dude, this is Africa where fights go bare-knuckle...

Nah, this is akin to a girl on girl fight. It is a waste of time and embarrassing. Truth be told if it was around some of us, na slap go settle the matter eventually. Real men will ‘dead’ the beef or let someone man up and apologise before the streets start calling. If all fails a good a*se kicking is in order.

Stalking, harassment, common assault and public order offences committed by a simp who chose not to mind his business. Arrest loading if that was the UK or US. All the hypocrites lauding him on this idiotic feat of stupidity, upon all una religion and morality, una fit boast of constant power supply sef? Meanwhile na una country corrupt pass, fuel price has just been increased whilst your leaders dey use una collective wealth dey play tenten. Try channeling that same energy you guys use to harass ladies to harass our leaders in Nigeria. He who is without sin, left him cast the first stone o.

Off the Wall. Lady in my Life. Wanna Be Startin Something. Thriller. Liberian Girl. Tabloid Junkie.

My favourite tracks so far - No Fit Vex, 23, Bebo, Comma, Time Flies and Bank on It. What an album!! A cohesive body of work. He has surpassed and defied expectations.

Moderators need to shun pointless and pedestrian topics. OP, please hand in whatever educational qualifications you earned because educating you was clearly a waste of time and money.

Celebrity lawyer giving interviews upandan instead of preparing a strong case for his client. Dribbling his mouth all over the place and could not even ensure his client gets bail. The State have a strong case and the evidence appears overwhelming.

We failed to hold our leaders including ourselves accountable. We had the opportunity to vote out these toe rags but we sold and cashed out instead. Now we are witnessing morally corrupt and inept government officials in action. A couple of days ago, grown men and women were arguing on this forum about which politician danced better? I repeat we have not learned our lessons and we are not ready. SMH We have collectively failed all the victims of rape and other atrocities.

See yourself

One of the most asinine and pedestrian topic ever to grace this once lauded Nigerian forum? Which politician danced better?

And some of y’all need to go back to biology classes and study the human reproductive system. Withdrawal method and you think she won’t get pregnant?

When you two consenting adults were having coitus, it was fun and the secrecy tingled your nether regions. Y’all need to stop having sex and save us all the hassle of these ‘stories that touch’.

I agree with you that he is not in the position to be recommending mandatory use of a vaccine, but if you can find the time, I will suggest that you watch the brilliant "Inside Bill's Brain: Decoding Bill Gates on Netflix - I rarely watch TV or movies but enjoy watching documentaries and this must be one of the best documentaries that I have ever watch, Bill Gates reads a lot of books and engage a lot of experts on critical issues.

I saw it last year and became a fan. Worthy of emulation. I can’t stop telling people to see it for themselves.

bepositive11:
Can't believe what I'm reading. Bill has lived his life, he has nothing to gain. He's involved in public health because he wants to do something meaningful with his life. To him, a meaningful life is helping people, especially the less privileged. Which other foreign billionaire cares so much about Africa? Yet you guys are so ungrateful

Vaccine is important because it's the only way to completely eliminate a virus. For example, smallpox killed 500 million people. When everyone got vaccinated, the smallpox virus got eliminated then the vaccine stopped being administered.

Covid-19 has the potential to wipe out 20% of the world's population - that's 1.4 billion people. If everyone doesn't get vaccinated, it won't be eliminated and it has the potential to mutate and become more deadly.

Yes, he is a school dropout. But, do you know that he got a PhD from Havard? Plus he enrolls in many courses online to learn about everything. He loves to learn. He said so himself in an interview. He owns a software company, but knows so much about so many things because he's very curious. I can relate to him

It's funny how you can help so many people so much, but they will still be ungrateful and find a way to turn your good deeds around. It's probably better to live your life only for yourself instead of helping people who will forget, be ungrateful and even blame you for unthinkable things

To those of you who don't know him, watch his interviews. He is one of the greatest man to be alive

I watched Bill Gates Decoded last year on Netflix and was inspired. He is intelligent and loves books. I signed up to GatesNotes and read up on this thoughts or ideas. Imagine if Africa had one Bill Gate?

Bill Gates has done more for Africa than 20 of your best pastors or leaders. He has been at the forefront of developing ideas or solutions for global health especially in poor countries for over a decade. His foundation has donated billions to fight infectious disease which were decimating millions of pregnant women and children in Africa. He is an intellectual who reads at least 5 books a day and studies thesis or papers written by forward thinkers or experts.

Black people are disproportionately affected by Covid19 and we are dying in droves so I ask you think Bill Gates developed a disease to kill more black people than white people and then the fact that there is no vaccine for the virus which started in Wuhan is his fault or master plan?

I dare one of you to show me where he implictly said digital implants or digital vaccinations? I can tell you for a fact he said ‘digital certificates’

We were overdue for a pandemic and scientists were saying this for years until coronavirus came along. The place where the disease originated historically has been also been ‘ground zero’ for SARS and other infectious diseases. Due to prevalence of air travel it is now easier to spread infectious disease across vast populations so how do we know who is infected? Did you know we have that due to abuse of antibiotic drugs we are also now seeing resistant strains of diseases and this is also killing people especially in Nigeria? Polio is making a comeback because idiots refuse to vaccinate their kids. We are more susceptible to infections now because of conspiracy theorists and anti vaxers. Disinformation in the long will kill millions because we have chosen to listen to falsehood when we are most at risk.

Please read this short article which debunks most of the nonsense conspiracy theorists have been spouting and asking the irrational to be objective is a long ask:

This is getting quite pathetic to say the least. How a moderator thinks showing snake carcasses or the destruction of our wildlife albeit snakes is somewhat an intelligent topic of discussion baffles me? Better to be associated with something more meaningful or a worthy cause.

“If tha game shakes or breaks me. I hope it makes me a better man, take a better stand....Stay far from timid. Only make moves when your heart’s in it. And live the phrase sky’s the limit. See you chumps back at the top.” ~ Sky’s the Limit - Notorious B.I.G ft 112.

It has been said that this pandemic may assist in the timely death of ’yeyebrity’ culture. We knew most were idiots and here they are.

One of the things this pandemic has caused us to rethink or reevaluate also is religion. To the pastors who were jetting up and down lording over their congregation who most were living in penury? Are your churches not empty now? What use is that magnificent sprawling edifice you call a church? People can now worship at home with technology invented by scientists and forward thinkers, is God not with his followers? Does he not reside in them or does he need a physical structure ? Use these buildings as hospitals, feed the poor, shelter the homeless, throw in your donations or their tithes, give up your private jets to fly in doctors and medical equipment. We are now seeing some of these pastors for who they really are and what they stand for. History is being written.

Sounds like the playlist of a someone who is on her period and just discovered their feelings. Sit your ‘pop ass’ in the back of the class with your wack playlist. I could forgive you for The Weeknd who has gone back to his ‘House of Balloons’ roots and Kid Cudi.
