Doncolio: @Brownlord,
Point of correction Nigeria is not a joke even though it is facing terrible times.

Sorry everyone, there's been no electric power in my area not until now.

Its not a one size fits all situation but I believe we can start from nothing to something. Someone said the same blood runs in them all...I totally agree with you.

The question I will like to ask is: Are we (Nigerians) ready for change void of tribal, religious and ethnic inclination?
If the responses are more positive(YES) than negative(NO) then we have a course. If not, we will have a different course to take in all this.

Nigeria is currently living in a constitution that has loopholes for us to be where we are today(NOTE). So we need law that will not give room for convicts and individuals with a bad history to lead us.

But before that comes I propose we have a committee of Nairalanders from each of the 36 states of the federation that will build the road map. I have something in mind that I won't divulge because of some reasons. This committee will publish its plans and findings as a draft for first hearing by Nairalanders. Re-evaluate it for a second hearing and then it is published to Nigerians.

Do I have a seconder?

#GBAM.
Nairalanders don't seem to get d power we have being together here,we can affect n change somethings in this country if we work @ it wit a common purpose.

NSNA: [size=20pt]Lets start a Nairaland Political Party NPP. lol

As years progressed, as we embrace technology and creativity, we experience vast improvements in beat making. Hey! We can actually just bump an instrumental straight up disregarding what the artist have to say nowadays. Gone are the days of creativity with vocals, meaningful verses, beautiful rhyme patterns, it’s all rock bottom right about now. Matter of fact certain genres of music have been deviated from their origins and turned into something else that we all can’t actually recognize any more.

As an artist when considering making a hit song first thing that comes to mind is the beat, secondly, the hook, well that’s about it nowadays ‘cos every time I turn on my TV I’m greeted by some auto-tuned chorus, banging beats while some rapper put out some wack rhymes and words together to form a verse, it’s irritating sometimes that the verses and chorus don’t even sync while basically some songs just lack subject matter.

So they talk about money and girls in a song right? How about having other tracks on the album with a different subject matter? Is it just me or doesn’t it bore the listeners whenever they lay back in their 2010 Honda Accord (Well, anything with the quietness would do) bumping an album for an hour and all they keep hearing is ”bling” ”w***s” ”b***hes” ”money” e.t.c. OK! I admit when we are clubbing we don’t care to listen to the lyrics ‘cos we just want to have fun and move our bodies, understandably OK but what happened to being entertained as well as educated. The lyrics is a vital part of a song and should be paid attention to.

There are different ways to improve the lyrical content of our music;

The Songwriter: It is rare to find a song writer on a track when he/she isn’t featured on it and that’s because most artists these days consider themselves as multi-talented stars so they feel they can both sing and write, I’m not saying that it’s impossible to possess such abilities but I’m saying that recognition and respect should be given to people with just the talent to write. When a song writer’s sole importance on an album is basically writing you can expect better lyrics from that specific album.

The Fans: The fans need to step up their game because artists sometimes get too comfortable and indulge themselves in songs with appalling lyrics. Fans definitely need to react to such ‘cos it tells poorly on them mentally so they subsequently need to air out their views to eradicate the visible truth that the artist is certainly undermining, undervaluing or disregarding his/her fan.

The Artist: This is simple. Write some decent lyrics.

 

Speaking about lyrics, apparently rappers and other artists come up with some bullshit these days. I got lots of examples you can check out below and see what sense you can make out of them;

”all the girls de wash me like omo” Davido ft Naeto C – Back Then

Omo* is a detergent and hence, it is used to wash clothes, plates, e.t.c. So how come the girls are washing him (hyping him/deceiving him/flattering him) like Omo*. Unbelievable!!!

”I wish say, I feel say, you too fine pass my mama but that is impossible,
thumps up to your mama cos she made it possible” by PSquare ft 2face – Possibility

Here, PSquare says they feel the girl is finer than their mother and that is impossible but thumps up to her mother ‘cos she made it possible What I think I’m not the only one confused here, PSquare too.

”I’m a Don Corleone” by Iyanya – Kukere

Don Corleone is a character from The Godfather*. He says he is a Don Corleone like Don Corleone is a noun. If Iyanya is correct,then can I say I’m an Iyanya

”Wine up your body like a monkey” by Timaya - Bom Bom

Never have wining your body been associated with monkeys. Mostly snakes and curly objects. How Timaya feels a monkey wines baffles me!!!

”Kplikpata!!! ” by Flavour (almost every song) 

Hey! I don’t have any beef on exclamations but when used more frequently than actual words, I really have to ask what’s ”Kplikpata!!!”? (I don’t even feel I spelt it right). Anyway it sounds like that……

17, 18, 19 by Various artists

From Mo’ Cheddah to Lola Rae, artists repeatedly start counting from 17 and end up at 19. I crave to know what inspired that. Can someone let me in on this coded secret.

Hey people what others have you heard, Let us know?

A shipment of 18 human heads, still covered in skin, was held at Chicago O’Hare International Airport by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.
Customs officials halted the heads for investigation before handing them over to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.
“We are involved because they can’t store them any longer,” Tony Brucci, chief of investigations at the medical examiner’s office told ABC News. “We’ll be examining the heads in the autopsy room today, but there is no foul play suspected in the collection of the heads.”
Researchers in Rome had been using the embalmed heads but shipped them to the United States for cremation at a facility near Chicago.
“The crematory has done nothing wrong. In fact, they were just here to hand all the paperwork over, and we’re satisfied everything is on the up-and-up,” Brucci told ABC News. “We are releasing them back to the crematory soon.”
The somewhat grisly discovery apparently wasn’t all that unusual. Doctors, medical facilities and research organizations often ship human body parts, said Brucci. This shipment raised flags because of the paperwork problem.
“This isn’t as strange as it sounds,” Brucci said. “People ship body parts to universities and hospitals all the time, we just don’t usually hear much about it.”
In 2010, a shipment of up to 60 human heads and parts of heads was seized at an airport in Arkansas. Those heads were intended for medical training but were stopped in transit because of improper packaging and errors in the paperwork.
The heads were en route to a research facility near Chicago, but there was a glitch in the paperwork.
“They were all properly preserved and tagged for the purpose of anatomical study,” Brucci said. “The paperwork just isn’t properly done.”

I saw dis story and had to share it too.
BTW-is dis a legal way of transferring/Trafficking human parts abroad?
And is it applicable to naija as well?
Plus are these heads black or white heads.

Lolz,dat dude with d car is craaaazyyy.LMAO.

Gten: Nigerians,we have advanced so much in d negative direction,we criticize everything and nothing,I still don't see leaders of tomorrow.Faith in the supernatural is not subject to scientific proof,u either have faith or keep shut and watch those with faith advance beyond scientific limitations.

God bless you.
Science n engineering is subject to God,which makes him superior to all that.its is too possible only and only with God. U can doubt all u want,even your own existence,shey na by science u dey live? Oshi peepo.
