I cant believe this..
This is why nairaland has lost so much credibility...

A simple research by the mods that posted this to the freaking front page would reveal it is actually IN SOUTH AFRICA, not the US...

This is the link to the same story of Linda Ileji, a news outlet that actually researches and posts credibly - https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2020/2/davidos-sophomore-album-a-good-time-album-goes-platinum-photovideo.html


And now for the most interesting part...

To get an album platinum in SOUTH AFRICA, You only need 30, 000 sales.

I hope this would silence all the people saying rubbish and defending rubbish

I'm doing this for all those guys talking trash. I don't know if you guys cannot read or understand simple things. 

The B'alon dor award is for the best player and performer for the season 2018/2019 and in that respect, no one and I repeat no one came close to Messi. 
Not your man crush, Ronaldo or anyone else. Van Djik has a stronger claim to the award than Ronaldo..

Can you just see only Messi's stats for last season..
He was top scorer in la liga, the whole Europe, even in the champions league....He had all the assists or do you guys think it is freaking easy?


Do you know how the Balon dor winner is selected?

People freaking vote!!
Journalists around the world freaking vote!!

Do you know more than them?

When Ronaldo won back to back in 2016 and 2017, where were y'all then? You were not complaining but now you are. 

Someone won Fifa awards this year (Captains, Coaches and Journalists) and then also won the B'alon dor (Journalists) and you are saying he doesnt deserve it because you know more than them. 

And please enough of this rubbish about Messi being In one club and yada yada yada...

Greatness is not about whether you are in one club or you jump to several, it's about BEING THE BEST IN WHAT YOU DO...

There is no rule that says jump around from one club to another to prove yourself.

Wherever you are, be the freaking best at what you do!!

Was Ronaldo going to leave Madrid?
Was it not freaking Ego and Pride that made him leave? For those of you that are hailing his jumping around clubs.

If Messi identifies one club to leave a legacy, who are you to tell him what to freaking do?

And take this as a life lesson, you better stay in the place that would make you great. Stay in that perfect environment that would bring out your best and make you never forgotten. 

Whether Messi stays or leaves, we know one thing, Leg for leg, skill for skill, goal for goal, there is no one that matched him last season and matches him in the world. 

Edited: By the way I have incredible respect for Ronaldo and what he has done and is doing. I have incredible respect for his accomplishments and drive, but that does not mean everytime he is the best or deserves to be the best. If this season, he smashes in goals and does amazing things, then why not. Till then, Messi deserved it a 100 for last season and this season I hope he keeps going strong.

David Adeleke also known as Davido on November 22, at exactly 12am, released his new album ‘A Good Time’ , and barely 5hrs after it was released the Album has been breaking and setting new records.

According to reports, the DMW founder’s new album hit a staggering number of 87million streams as at 5am, Saturday morning.

The Album has also broken into the charts of 38 countries according to Apple Music.
See the records so far below:

The Highest Charting African Album Ever In The United States On @itunes (All Genres) , OBO made a monster and this is just the beginning #AGoodTime
New Peak : #9

#AGoodTime Is The #1 POP Album In The United States

#AGoodTime Charting in 38 Countries on Apple Music , Top 100 in 24 countries.

Monster hit of 87, 785, 550 streams in less than 5hours.

Which African release records please?

I like the album, it has some cool songs but they shouldn't mess things up with cheap hype...

The caption is very stupid, "All african album release records" , what kind of dumb hype is that?

And as someone on this thread said,

"How can it hit 87M streams in 5hours with songs that have been streamed for about 2yrs already?! stop posting RUBBISH and LIES online!

FALL, IF, ASSURANCE accounts for a total of 66M old streams, duh!"


The problem with Nigerians is they dont think, dont analyse..

They are mostly gullible and that's what all this cheap strategists use..

Impressive, Impressive bro!!

It looks like it's a web based app?

Is that right?

And the app is failing to download from the website.

It shows this..

Sowore: Before we crucify the secret Police

By Idoko Ainoko

The recent attacks on the Department of State Service (DSS) with regards to the handling of the demonstrators demanding the release of the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, is at best uncharitable. I say this for the fact that the demonstrators acted out of ignorance, and as usual, some segment of the country that does not see anything right with this present administration went to the market.

They were quick to cast aspersion and attempt to crucify the secret Police. This is somewhat not surprising in the sense that the nation has witnessed the upsurge of individuals and organizations that are hell-bent on causing unrest in the country. And the free Sowore protesters fall under this same category.

We must get the issues in proper perspectives and counter the harmful intentions of those that are hell-bent on causing unrest in the country. The Omoyele Sowore issue is a case of an attempt to instigate the people against the constituted authorities and by extension effecting a change in government by calling for a revolution. If this is not a treasonable offense, I don’t know what else to call it unless the gang of monetarily induced protesters would feign ignorance to the consequences of calling for a revolution that would see to the overthrowing of a democratically elected government.

Let us make no mistakes; national interest should always surpass personal interest if we are desirous of making progress in this country. We must learn to call a spade and spade in the interest of the sensibilities of over 180 million Nigerians who have nowhere to call home other than here.

I also wonder how some individuals’ would think they can attempt to cause mayhem in the country and walk away scot-free. Even in civilized climes, there are consequences for our actions and inactions. Can an Omoyele Sowore go to the United States and call for a revolution and street protest if he has some reservations about the effectiveness of government? The answer is a huge no. And so, the question is why such anomaly should be tolerated in Nigeria?

That aside, when an individual is viewed as a high risk to societal peace, would it be wise to have such an individual in circulation to cause more damage? There are cases of such individuals in Nigeria that, for the sake of National interest, they must be kept outside circulation till the determination of their cases by a court of competent jurisdiction.

This, in a way, explains the case of former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, as well as the founder of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Ibraheem El-Zarzarky. You would agree with me that these individuals, as well as Omoyele Sowore, are high-risk individuals and by extension, agents of destabilization.

The law is clear on this, and this much we must come to terms with. I am quite sure that if the revolution that Omoyele Sowore had planned succeeded, the bulk of the people clamouring for his release under various nomenclatures would have been greatly affected. Again, just maybe they either by omission or commission refused to see the disservice in that revolution agenda. And just perhaps, they thought calling for violent change would do Nigeria and Nigerians any good.
My opinion has been this, and it won’t change anytime soon. There are decent ways of expressing grievances if such grievances are genuine. But to call for violence is a no and would remain one, especially in a democratic setting. The wounds of the civil war in Nigeria are still fresh in our minds, and to think someone somewhere would opt to set Nigeria once again on that dangerous path is most despicable.

So, just before we elect to crucify the secret Police, we should task our conscience to understand that an offense was committed in the first place, and that gave rise to the actions taken by the government in the overall interest of the generality of Nigerians. Some might want to argue that a court had granted him bail and he was refused bail. But what they failed to understand was that there were conditions that must be fulfilled before bail would be granted. And is it on record that his bail conditions were met and the secret Police refused to release him?

We should not be deceived by the antics of some people who are gifted in the art of spreading fake news to win public sympathy. Some also argued that the bail conditions were stringent, and my answer is: calling for violence to set the country on fire is grave enough for strict bail conditions to be issued.

I believe that the government must act decisively to serve as a deterrent to others. This is the case with Omoyele Sowore. And my advice for those that pursue public causes blinded is that they should employ objectivity and sound reason because National interest is the watchword, and no individual is bigger than the country. Nigeria cannot afford any attempt at truncating its nascent democracy. We must call a spade a spade.


Ainoko wrote this piece from Kaduna.

This is one of the most stupid posts I have read in a long time.

It is insulting to the brain..
It is insulting to Nigerians..

And for what? Some thousands of Naira.

It is partisan
Unbalanced
Based on assumptions

It reeks of someone pushing his brain aside and going on a drunk writing spree.


I stopped readng when you asked if someone like Sowore could go to the US, and stir up protests and a revolution...

For you not to know that worse has been done in the past few months, even 1/2 years of Trumps rule is to be a novice (which you are)

Trump and his government has been ridiculed, severally on live tv..
He has been brazingly abused with unprintable names...by his own people..
He is called the worse names by celebrities out in the open, even in front of the White House.. .
Have people tried to stir up peaceful protests in line with the constitution, Hell YES


Are they arrested and tried like criminals? No
Does Trump go after anyone? No
Can he go after them using the government? No

If he tries it, he would turn the whole of America against himself and get impeached...

That is the most powerful nation in the world that understands freedom of speech
That is the most powerful president in the world that abides by the law, the freaking constitution...


Sowore has messed up, Yes!!

But he has been granted bail (Even the Dss have confirmed that through their spokesman and I wonder how you kept asking if he really was granted bail)

All we have is a president clamping down on anyone who speaks Ill against him..

It is our freaking right to talk as we please as long as we dont incite violence and war...


Once again, your article is an insult to I intelligence..
It is disappointing..

With people who still think like you, I'm afraid Nigeria has a longer way to go...

Where are the Davido fanboys?
They all silent....

Haha..First Davdo fanboy spotted.



And dude, you dont know shit about me or what "career" I am building or not. Keep your dirty mouth to yourself.

Uncle Career builder.

This got me laughing. Who would have thought it possible? I dont know where this was gotten from but Davido screams and screams on stage (as he likes to do) but the audience dont know his song and some start to laugh by the side..

And the song is blow my mind. Song that yall shout had 20 million views in days but forget that was actually only possible cause of CHRIS BROWN...


Haha...

How many views has risky had in almost two weeks? Is it up to 5million?

I know Davido fanboys are coming for me.

P.S: Before you say shit, watch the video!!

Freehuman:
A list is released and the most rated person from Nigeria is mentioned on the first category just before an under 10 child and after an artist I have never heard of.

Stop celebrating mediocrity please. Beyonce was nominated not any other person. She got the contract to sing for " Lion King". BEYONCE would never feature Wizkid if she was not mandated to feature African artistes because of the nature of the production. She even featured shatta Wale.

**********
Note , don't tell me how Wizkid sells out O2 Arena to African and Nigerian immigrants after a six months invested publicity if you haven't stayed in the UK before.

Ed Sheeran and Adele who live in London have never performed there. Just a collection of other Nigerian mediocres and low budget black London artists entertaining Black people and few inquisitive white friends and colleagues. At the end of the day, they remit more than 35% of the profit incurred to the British government . Same old cycle, the money is contributed by Blacks and given to their slave Masters to fund the Economy of Europe in order to seek validation from the Whites and "over hype" from the locals who do not know the nature of these "International artistes".

Trash Trash Trash.
You must be really pained!!

Who are you?
what have you achieved in life?
Why dont you go and get just 10,000 to come out and show some love to you.

Spilling deliberate lies....
Adele was at the 02 in 2017...
Ed Sheeran had his own O2 show in 2016 and has shown up there severally since then...

Get a life please
Transfer your aggression elsewhere!
