Tinubu urchins everywhere. You guys never see anything. Bunch of hungry youths asslicking unproductive ancestors because of crumbs

Latakia:
You were born and hustling in the southeast for so many years and couldn't make progress in life upon your parents prayers toward you. However, you left the southeast for southwest and northwest and suddenly your life begin to change for good. But all you could do is to start abusing and insulting your host governors and the people that accommodate you while abandoning your own governors, senators and reps who sent you outside as refugees.

You are nothing but an ingrate.

mrvitalis:

We no go hear word again

Nollywood was the first entertainment sub-sector that went international fully dominated by igbos, we no make noise about it.

Ckay's Love nwantiti written partly in Igbo and English became no.1 Shazam song in the world in 2021. We no make noise about it.

The Nigerian gospel music which has gained global attention is also being dominated by igbos. We no dey make about am

I think Reno love affair with igbos ended bitterly the Yorubas are now his latest client.

mrvitalis:
They are the best industrial city Nigeria have by miles ...

Ota with the government infrastructure ,( gas pipeline ,closeness to sea port ) can't compare this two city in terms of infrastructure n livability

That's why Igbos don't compare ourselves with the rest of Nigeria at all
Given the disadvantages we have we could have made excuses but we are here no tribe in Nigeria can achieve same all this being equal none

trutharena:

Dude be stylishly switching goal post into sports..
Okay then.

Tell me who currently is the 7th best women's goalkeeper in the world?

How about a dive into our female basketball team, three times consecutive winner s of the women's afrobasket.
Mind to bring a list?
Even try the male team if you can.

This is why I advice folks to stick to what they are good at.
It's not so difficult.

musicwriter:
How can you be in your right state of mind and believe a new comer to your religion who never saw your Jesus, instead of someone closer? All because Rome gave you a dumb book to read?

Be informed that thousands of better books on spiritually were already there before Rome but were destroyed to create the fraud called bible. That bible you're reading is not the real thing. It's a fraud!! Drop that book and set yourself free.

The lecture below was done by a former Jehovah's witnesses zealot who used to leave his business and go preaching Jesus from door to door. Now, he've discovered the reality and is truly awake.

Watch his lecture below. He've done his research. He spent about seven hours telling the history of Christianity, Jesus, bible and explaining the fraud. Please learn from him and set yourself free.

The bible & Christianity Finally explained!

Anigreat:

Nigerians do not understand why Shatta Wale took a swipe at Nigerian artistes. Shatta, like many other African artistes, feels that African music is turning into Nigerian music, and rather than understand why this is so, he has allowed his frustrations to boil over in his failed attempts to instigate xenophobia against Nigerians.

But why has Nigerian music reverberated around the world? What is the secret?

First, I need to explain that when people buy your culture, they will invariably buy your products. This is a fact that the United States has mastered ever since World War II. They have used their culture to good effect by employing it to market their military and industrial complex.

Where Hollywood first goes, corporate America follows like a shadow. If you liked an American cowboy actor, America would use him to put a bottle of Coca-Cola in every hand in your country. If you like an American country singer, the US would use that point of attraction to saturate your country with made-in-America blue jeans.

That formula is tried and tested. The actors and actresses change. The music stars come and go. Genres emerge and die out. But the same way America used your love for John Wayne to sell you peanut butter is the same way they are currently using Beyoncé to sell you Pepsi.

One thing the current Mummy GO phenomenon has laid bare is how easy it is to manipulate the psyche of our people.

And it was even a factor in colonialism. European traders beguiled our ancestors with mirrors and other curiosities that they had previously never seen. Then they sent missionaries to Europeanise us in the guise of Christianising us.

At first, they held their version of Scripture, which they called The Bible, while our ancestors held on to their ancestral lands. It was not too long before our ancestors were the ones holding the European Bible (not Scripture), and the colonialists were holding their ancestral lands.

Let no one be deceived. I believe in Christ. I believe He is the Only Way to God. And I believe in Scripture. But what the European colonialists brought to Africa, Latin America and other colonised places was not the historically accurate Christ, nor the spiritually pure way to God, or indeed the genuine Scripture.

If you want to understand true Christianity in one of its purest forms, go to Ethiopia. Ethiopia is like a time capsule of the ancient faith brought back from Israel to Abyssinia, by the Ethiopian eunuch of Acts chapter 8.

And sadly, till this day, my people still celebrate European cultural weddings, burials and pagan holidays, and think they are practising the same pure faith that was handed down by Christ and His disciples to the early church.

That is the chief reason why Mummy GO is sending everybody to hell. She, and many others like her (many of whom have branded thousands of children witches, leading them to be kicked out by their parents) do not know the difference between Christendom and true Christ follower-ship.

And that is why African Christians are gradually being beguiled to be intolerant of polygamy, which was practised in Scripture, but tolerant of same-sex marriage, which is condemned in Scripture. To think otherwise is to be uncivilised.

Culture is both a weapon of war and commerce. Therefore, to win as a nation in this current world order, you must identify what aspects of your culture resonate with the world, and why?

Reason is that when you have this information at your fingertips, you can use it to non-militarily promote your economic interests because other nations are doing it to you.

Countries exist to promote their selfish national interests by finding ingenious ways to exploit others and economically dominate them politically. Anything you can legally do as a nation to improve your balance of trade position vis a vis your neighbours, and the world at large, should be your hidden agenda policy towards the world.

Unfortunately, Nigeria does not seem to be aware of this. We have our own areas where we can dominate. But we appear to be blind to it.

It will take us more than a century to catch up with the West and China in the area of technology. However, we can, and should be able to catch up with them, and even overtake them, in the area of entertainment.

And how do we do this? We should take stock of those aspects of our culture that the world is buying.

That is the reason why I posit that music of Yoruba origin should be studied as a course in Nigeria’s ivory towers, because it has the capacity to not only rapidly change Nigeria’s negative international image, but also to take our economy out of the doldrums by attracting music-loving tourists to our nation, the way Rihanna has done in Barbados, and even in death, Bob Marley is doing for Jamaica.

For every decade of Nigeria’s existence as an independent nation, music of Yoruba origin has dominated our nation, and now it is dominating the world.

Bobby Benson dominated the 60s

Abami Fela Kuti dominated the 70s

King Sunny Ade and Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey dominated the 80s

Sir Shina Peters and King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall dominated the 90s.

Paul Play Dario shared dominance with a non-Yoruba artist (Tuface Idibia) in the 2000s

D’Banj, the Koko Master shared dominance with non-Yoruba artistes (PSquare) in the 2010s

Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy (non-Yoruba) are dominating in the here and now.

Their female artistes are not left out. Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Asa, Simi, Teni, Seyi Shay, dominate locally and internationally with their girl power!

How do they do it, that even where they sing wholly or partly in Yoruba, their music is able to crossover locally and internationally?

Christy Essien Igbokwe was quoted as saying she would not have made a breakthrough in the music industry without her anthem Seun rere, which was performed entirely in Yoruba.

Throughout the Black world, no other ethnic group has been able to CONSISTENTLY breakthrough in the music industry internationally while singing wholly or partially in their native tongue. I am not saying that some others do not sing in their native tongues. What I am saying is that they have not been able to crossover internationally while singing in their native language.

Caribbean reggae artistes sing in English or patois. African American R’nB, Jazz, Soul and rap artistes sing in English. Black Brazilians crossover with Portuguese. Francophone artistes (with the exception of Manu Dibango), crossed over with French. South African artistes crossed over with English (with the exception of Brenda Fassie and Mariam Makeba).

Even the world’s top Francophone female artiste (Angelique Kidjo), did not crossover internationally, until she sang in Yoruba.

There is something about that language and the musical genres that the Yoruba have introduced that can permanently put Nigeria on the world map for good.

And it is not just in music. Also in theatre (theatre is stage plays, not movies), the first Nigerian theatre company to have broken into the global theatre scene, as far back as the 60s, was Herbert Ogunde’s theatre company. The only other Nigerian theatre company to have broken through internationally is Wole Soyinka’s theatrical company.

Nigeria needs to rebrand quickly from our unfortunate and undeserved international reputation for corruption and scams. And the best way to rebrand a country or a corporation, is by projecting positive things about that entity that are ALREADY happening. Sadly, our government’s rebranding efforts focus on things that they hope will happen.

So, again, I call on universities, and research institutes, to do thorough researches into this phenomenon, with the aim of identifying what makes that sub-sector of the music industry so successful, so that already established acts can use that knowledge to further crossover, and young upcoming acts can act on it to make inroads into the music industry globally.

Globally, music is a $5 trillion industry. Let us use what we have to corner at least 10% of that bottom line.

Reno’s Nuggets

No one is too busy to take your call or respond to your SMS. People make out time for those that are important to them, and block out those who are not. When people don’t take your calls or respond to your texts, make yourself scarce in order to raise your value. Give yourself six months. Shun all attention. Avoid negative people. Read Scripture, and leadership books. Devote yourself to learning high-valued skills, like coding, ethical hacking, blockchain, crypto trading, etc. Use your new skills to get a good job or start an impactful business. Then emerge and your value will explode!

blamingthedevil:
What is wrong with Ohaneze? Are we not in democracy again? If you are not a coward , bring out your own candidate , present him or her to Nigeria and ask for Nigerians support instead of complaining about another person contesting.

Meanwhile...

Tinubu did you guys strong thing or Is Tinubu omnipresent in you guys medulla oblongata ?

To the extent that a whole Ohaneze Ndigbo has to write a letter to citizen Tinubu, who is not an elected official nor has he declared his intention to contest for the highest office in Nigeria.

What kind of Inferiority Complex is this?

Wow! This is what is called FATALITY in Mortal Kombat.

Kudos to all Omoluabis that put these Osu pigs in their place.
