I even heard there was a mammoth crowd at the grounds of the Eagle square where he made the declaration.<br><br>Ofcourse the body language of the opposition APC has shown that Buhari would emerge as the Presidential candidate but without mincing words, I must state that it would be an overwhelming loss for the APC.<br>The above statement is not a fact,neither is it a curse. Rather it is a wish, a wish from a young Nigerian man who is saddened at the nepotism politicians have come to master.<br><br>Before I continue, I would like to tell a personal family story. My father, the great Badmus senior was born on 30th August 1960, a few months before Nigeria attained independence. His parents were full of hopes, a young boy was born into promising an emerging nation filled with promises… so they thought.<br><br>In December 1983, Major-General Buhari and his cohorts in the military truncated the country's then nascent democracy, removing a civilian government from office and putting the country in yet another dark era of military intervention. My father was just 23 and he still believed in a future which belonged to his generation. This was a period when an actor Ronald Reagan ruled America and was even seeking reelection. Worse of all, people awoke to a new year in 1984 to be told that the country has once again been hijacked by power hungry Khaki boys spearheaded by the calm GMB and his side kick Tunde Idiagbon.<br><br>Mr. Buhari would later surface in 2003 when the newly restructured ANPP (from APP) made him their Presidential candidate. What amazes me is why this same man who many claims is an anti-corruption sage want to benefit from a democracy he never believed in.<br>Many say there was corruption in the land, many say the Shagari led government had so many thieves who were running the country aground but did this call for a military intervention?<br>Obasanjo came into office in '76 and without wasting time, declared his interest to return the country to a democratically elected government. This would pay off for him decades later when he was chosen by PDP to lead the nation on return to democracy in '99. General Abdulsalam Abubakar spent barely one year in office and handed over to a civilian Government, may the 'god of democracy' bless him.<br><br>Buhari took office at the last day of the year (December 31,1983) and could have given Nigerians a pleasant new year present of restructuring the electoral commission, organize fresh "credible elections" and let the country run democratically.<br>Like many other African leaders, he could have even transformed from a khaki to an 'agbada' head of state even if it was an arrangee election but at least Nigerians would have had a sigh of electoral tendency. But no, Buhari had other plans and he remained in the position until the smiling General sent him away from office two years later.<br><br><br> <br>Now I hardly blame Babangida for Nigeria's democratic woos in the past. If Buhari hadn't chased out Shagari, Nigeria would have had a few years of democracy and perhaps by 1993, the country would have matured a bit but then Buhari didn't want all of that.<br><br>From 2003 to 2007 and then he made a return about four years ago only to be defeated again by GEJ after a loss to Obasanjo, Yar' Adua and recently GEJ. Well in 2015, GMB shall loose again.<br><br>Any progressive Nigerian who votes this gentle evil is simply laughable. Moreover history has told us Buhari without a Tunde Idiagbon is merely a paper tiger out to seek a vendetta mission against those who have allegedly stolen public funds in the past. Buhari has no progressive agenda, neither does he have a plan to develop the country.<br><br>If APC is really a 'Change Oriented' party like it claims, then they should introduce a bredth of fresh air into the polity. At 72, Buhari is too old to even make any significant difference in the country. Asides my personal sentiment over his '83 Coup d' etat, his ruling my father's generation and his wanting to rule mine, this man is just too old.<br><br>Buhari ruled Nigeria when my father started his career, today at 54,my dad is a grandfather yet our dear so-called change party cannot bring someone from his generation to be flag bearer!<br>No,he wouldn't steal my future again.<br>If Belgium swore-in a 38 year old as Prime minister this year yet it is one of the largest economy in Europe, what excuse does Nigeria have to be presenting a 72Year old man who have obviously had his "time'. North Korea, Georgia, Italy and even Mali all have heads of government in their 30s and recently news went viral that a 35Year old Nigerian might just be the next Prime Minister of the almighty Great Britain.<br><br>Have we no shame in this country. Why would we deceive ourselves and hide under a facade of anti-graft crusade to mis-lead people. Have our father's forgotten those dark days of anti-people draconian laws.

I just read on numerous online news medium now that you decided to acquire for yourself a small private jet which costs only a little over $50million(the 2nd in the growing fleet) to make your movement laden with ease. Sir congratulations on this acquisition especially in this era when Boko Haram is quite unpredictable and might attack public carriers without prior prompting. I only hope the jet is not just bullet proof but also bomb proof, "just in case".<br>I overheard some ignorant people saying your purchasing a jet like my piece is unwarranted especially at this period when the country is in turmoil peculiarly with the abduction of those scores of girls but these people are just ignoble in their criticism. They fail to realize that your party's ideology is "all man for himself" which you have done well in showing us; your able followers.<br>Moreover, just in case those girls are rescued, remember there is need to pay Borno a grand visit with this new acquisition in order to prove to that boy Shettima that he should rather pitch tent with us permanently instead of that his envious boss Ali Modu Sheriff. Besides there might even be a need to give the girls a lift on this new toy. Congratulations once more sir, after all its not only Dangote or Otedola who knows how to cruise with style.</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br>I hope it is also not too late to further congratulate you on your recent investiture as the chancellor of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology,LAUTECH. Again several people sent me messages expecting me to criticize this meritorious honor but why should I? A whole Asiwaju cum Jagaban who has editors in his pocket, if I do which editor-in-chief would employ me aboard their news medium so I just arbitrarily kept shut 'jeje' as a jobless Nigerian youth.<br>Moreover who is even more qualified for this honor than you sir, after all your contributions to the education sector especially in Lagos. These people have forgotten how you broke the sanguineous of those mathematicians' who tried to calculate the percentage of your LASU tuition fee increment from N250(two hundred and fifty naira) to N25,000(twenty five thousand naira) in 2005. Was that not how you were able to set an enviable record which was only broken by your able predecessor Babatunde Raji Fashola who increased same from that N25,000 to N250,000 and even N350,000 for some students thereby helping create more drop outs we can use as political thugs due to their half baked knowledge. These people don't even see reason that these increments help create a new set of rights activists and student leaders some of whom you have in your sagacity converted to loyal boys.</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br>It is sad how people nit-pick you. They have forgotten how you advised protesting students of the same LASU during the 2011 fee increment saga to relax and take the increment in good 'fate' as you and your boy only intended to upgrade the school from the advanced secondary school it was to an enviable ivy league citadel. I remember the only embarrassment for us came when two law students from that same "upgraded secondary school" went on to attain first class honors each at the Nigerian Law school, Abuja; those bias idiots who failed your son, Seyi only a year later. I remember he had to retake his bar exam despite all the elitist education you exposed him to.</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br>What would your critics even say when they hear that you advised students not to protest again especially during "my local government elections coming up this weekend because if you do you would be attacked and I would instruct news people who would gather in my parlor to write that you are political thugs". Good thing those students took that advise because am quite sure many of them who have finished their NYSC and those still serving wouldn't have had such mortal luxury.</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br>I can go on and on about your achievements particularly in the yoruba dominated region but time would not permit because I know you might not be chanced to finish reading because of the numerous national issues that begs for your attention in your open home at Boundillon. Please go attend to them o especially the leadership of the Lagos 'agberos' whose support is mostly needed at this critical period when Ekiti and Osun comes to mind not forgetting 2015 which is just around the corner. You are just an exceptional leader,if only people like GEJ would learn from you perhaps he would be taught how to for instance buy the media with that 'dangling carrot' instead of his toothless bull dog threats.</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br>I hope my congratulations is well received.<br>NB:Sir I am in a dilemma on how to send this piece across to you. If I come to Boundillon, people would say I have come to collect money but then major dailies won't publish it because I am too patisan to your cause. if Linda posts it, your people would say we are both PDP agents.

I incidentally was around in the thick of the campaign but like a smart yoruba man that I am, I had to quickly escape when the polity really got heated. However in the cause of my stay therein, I learnt certain things especially about the major contestants which would be shared below.<br><br>Kayode Fayemi: Good man,did great things in the state but quite elitist and realized a little too late the power of the masses. Unlike Fashola in lagos who focused on the elist while Tinubu took care of the masses, the Ekiti masses were politicaly left in the lurch.<br><br>His strong points: his wife Erelu Bisi and some members of his cabinet especially the Chief of Staff,Yemi Adaralodu (who is a grassroot mobilizer). Some of his projects would also speak for him especially the stipends being paid to the elderly and his agricultural revolution with the youth. However his relationship with Tinubu would do more harm than good as the good people of Ekiti do not trust the opposition national leader.<br><br>Ayo Fayose: The masses man,quite radical but present intent not entirely known. Bad antecedents but appears like a messiah to the masses now that Fayemi is scared of despite incumbency power.<br><br>His strong points: GEJ, federal money,Police, Soldiers, Okada riders etc. Fayose is that trojan horse who would keep surprising Ekiti people.<br><br>MOB- Bamidele: Confused man,obviously knows he can't win but doing this because he has nothing to loose(remember his sit in NASS remains intact if eventually he looses). Strong points; Good speaker, Guv Mimiko of Ondo's support, has some students support too but ekiti people obviosly knows he is a joker.<br><br>The battle is a two-horse race between APC and PDP and its going to be a deadly battle as some families has over the past weeks been relocating until after the election. Fayose has been campaigning with bullet proof vest and only weeks ago, the governor was attacked while campaigning.<br><br>Actors to watch out for: Musiliu Obanikoro(the new PDP hatchet man), Unknown Soldiers, INEC Staff (loyal to both divide), NSCDC officials (who would have a field day making arrests)and many more…</div>Kayodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15482302314119798711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353402441021996772.post-76421539341290857172015-01-09T10:14:00.000+01:002015-01-09T10:15:12.106+01:00President Jonathan, Nigerian Military And The Missing girls<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYCtKDLpt9lZHuMvn681kw4EJMQGDtc5NwbHnuiE6UNKwVH7lRx5TLgZgRgI3V7F2aGry2Vg1A-OrVq8h8r8v3K1EO1UGSFZ2Udy5RbhdxfDgDkWZMe67gOHsbyGdxyu0eWZvuXiCI8fI/s1600/Jonathan+Lagos-712107.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYCtKDLpt9lZHuMvn681kw4EJMQGDtc5NwbHnuiE6UNKwVH7lRx5TLgZgRgI3V7F2aGry2Vg1A-OrVq8h8r8v3K1EO1UGSFZ2Udy5RbhdxfDgDkWZMe67gOHsbyGdxyu0eWZvuXiCI8fI/s320/Jonathan+Lagos-712107.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6102267682954510514" /></a></p><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><b><i><font size="2" color="#3352ac">This piece was written on May 29, 2014</font></i></b></div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br></div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Today Nigeria celebrates 15 years of uninterrupted power in the hands of democratic leaders but truth be told, the mass of the Nigerian populace would rather prefer 15 years of uninterrupted power supply. Saying the country is in turmoil is putting things mildly but unfortunately our leaders think otherwise. In a recent political commercial, President Jonathan has revealed that like Nelson Mandela did in South Africa and Barrack Obama is doing in America, he is also "doing it" for Nigeria which brings the question, is he doing it?<br><br>Today, the President would address the world on the state of affairs in the country and sadly, he would assert that his government is trying its best…a statement which is more insulting than Abacha's reference to us all as "fellow Nigerians". Unfortunately less than half of the Nigerian populace would not even get to watch the President's address due to power failure despite all the jamboree about improved power generation, privatization, ownership transfer amongst all other credulous tales we are made to believe . However this piece wouldn't dwell on that, rather my focus shall once again be on the continued detention of the over 200 girls Boko Haram abducted.<br><br>Today Nigeria is supposed to celebrate the perceived success of our democracy. Today the world is supposed to congratulate Nigeria for standing the test of democratic time but are we really worth congratulating. Today I celebrate my birthday but I feel sad knowing fully well that some of these girls have had to celebrate their birthdays in the den of a confused and ruthless being who hides under a noble religion to perpetuate evil. But come to think of it "is Shekau impenetrable".<br><br>Just yesterday news went viral that four of the kidnapped girls have escaped the forsaken movement which is a real surprise to me. This follows reports of a few weeks ago which had it that some villagers in Borno killed about 200 Boko Haram insurgents. It is also a known fact that some of the girls numbering about 50 escaped while being transported from their school and some others in the early days of the abduction. Now young girls are getting smarter than these militants, untrained civilians (civilian JTF, Vigilantes, Hunters etc) have been successfully battling the Boko Haram with little armory but the strongest military on African soil which was once reputed to be one of the strongest in the world haven't been able to do anything. America,Britain and the world allegedly gave their support weeks ago but why are the girls still missing?<br><br>Children's day has come and gone and these kids missed out, so today we would be celebrating another democracy day but are we even in a democratic society? Does democracy mean insecurity? What's the military even hiding? I read with shame the statement of the defense chief saying they now know where the girls are but wouldn't be attacking for some security reasons. It is only in this country our military spend more time talking to the media than combating. I wondered the other time people made a ruse out of the fact that the president refused to visit Chibok where the girls were abducted as if that would #BringBackOurGirls. I also wonder why the service chiefs have not all relocated to the Sambisa forest hide out of the criminals but would rather speak in the comfort of their zones in the FCT. It was also in the media that Northern leaders advised the Federal Government to simply dialogue with the sect rather than confront them. To me, this sounded like "please don't kill our children,just negotiate with them and give them what they want". The honest truth is that a whole lot of things are not what the Nigerian populace are made to believe. Those in the know have more information about Boko Haram and its activities than they are making us believe and the earlier we get our acts right, the better or else the abduction saga would be but a child's play.</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"> Happy Democracy Day Nigeria.<br></br></div>Kayodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15482302314119798711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353402441021996772.post-53847897393246578122015-01-09T10:07:00.001+01:002015-01-09T10:07:56.068+01:00CYBER-CRIME BILL: We Are All Going To Jail<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSxxprWEDaVPC-iIB8dc7KbIa_YhwxzA6Pyp4OsWEX7V2mjUzV9auiweZy6mFmQJkn7wXBfb-cMiTMRGZw2H9pWEzpV6uaB5JC9wbjB_kzV3U0aiwhpB_wcdRNnOZLL2iniIXreDVXk3Q/s1600/Cyber+crime-776070.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSxxprWEDaVPC-iIB8dc7KbIa_YhwxzA6Pyp4OsWEX7V2mjUzV9auiweZy6mFmQJkn7wXBfb-cMiTMRGZw2H9pWEzpV6uaB5JC9wbjB_kzV3U0aiwhpB_wcdRNnOZLL2iniIXreDVXk3Q/s320/Cyber+crime-776070.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6102265810932988738" /></a></p><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><b><i><font size="2" color="#3352ac">February '14</font></i></b></div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br></div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Just when the dust is yet to settle on the recently signed anti-gay law which has thrown Nigeria into the black books of some western countries, here comes yet another controversial bill which seeks to jail anyone who insults or abuses someone else using the social media (infact internet in general). As an individual who supported the controversial "jail the gays" law, I am totally dumb founded as to whatever might have influenced this bill.<br><br>When I initially heard there was a cyber crime bill in the house, I practically celebrated for what I described as a final solution to the internet fraud or is it "yahoo yahoo" menace. Unknown to me, I was actually celebrating what would in reality throw a whole lot of us, perhaps I inclusive behind bars. The law in its section 18 sub-section 1 for instance states that "anybody who insults publicly, through a computer system or network commits an offense and will be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term of not less than five years or to a fine of not less than N10m or to both fine and imprisonment".<br><br>Wikipedia explains an insult to be "an expression, statement (or sometimes behavior) which is considered degrading, offensive and impolite. Insults may be intentional or accidental. An insult may also be factual". This means merely telling your friend "you dey crase or you are stupid" could simply land you in jail for 5years.<br><br><br> <br>For those who have made criticizing "our leaders" a daily routine, then Kirikiri or perhaps Ikoyi prisons is your next home.<br><br>Recently words like "witless", "confused", "stupid", "foolish" etc has continually been used upon our Abuja leader (let me start learning how to "insult" with scope), ofcourse these are known as insults and again, a whole lot of us are guilty of this offense which absolutely means…well your guess is as good as mine.<br><br>Now here is the major bombshell, the law further recommends a death sentence to "anyone who commits an offence against what it calls critical national information infrastructure which results in death" whatever that means.<br><br>This bill however confirmed my fears that it was a political tool of witch-hunting when in Part V, Section four, it was prescribed that "the Office of the National Security Adviser shall be the co-coordinating body for all security and enforcement agencies". Now the Ogundamisis, Omojuwas and El-Rufais of this world should better take cover.<br><br>Its rather sad and pathetic that in this era when there is a huge lacuna between 'the Governors and the Governed' and the social media has turned into a tool of expressing the citizens' plight, the government of the day still believe that rather than enact laws that would propagate good governance which would directly affect positively those with whom they have a social contract, they only intend hunting down perceived political distractors (cum enemies). A lot of roads in the country are death traps, electricity is in a state of comatose, the aviation industry has made obituary printers sell more than ever, employment is only seen to have been given when our government states their score card, militants get paid better than the graduates, doctors are always threatening to go on strike, undergraduates now spend double the required period studying a course and worse of all the Northern Boko haram menace, yet this government would abandon all these to deal with those abusing themselves on facebook or twitter. I wonder in what category they would put a Maheeda or Afrocandy.<br><br>It should be expected that the Nigerian Police Force would now have an internet watch department to apprehend those who defaults. What a shame, a police officer situated to check all day Nigerians using insulting words on the internet. What a lackadaisical effort! I bet you, Police stations across the country would on daily basis be filled with "criminals" who insults others on the internet and most of these people would go to jail because the specified fine is even pegged at 10million naira. Walai, We are all going to jail!<br></br></div><br>Kayodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15482302314119798711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353402441021996772.post-70619596397687463372015-01-09T09:58:00.001+01:002015-01-09T09:58:47.801+01:00Olusegun Agagu: The Man, His Travails And Triumphs<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkNiYJzlT4DLGWUMGssz-iizdAUKlvkwt5OOv_59rFLtadesAiYfR0uCIO2cTdEse53vwMysdLNsrpurEIRqfWV8tc-1puW41tf-tyyp_sRjJAJMFAJqAGbEEg9cypzGEkdcQJlr_Pi8o/s1600/Olusegun+agagu-727802.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkNiYJzlT4DLGWUMGssz-iizdAUKlvkwt5OOv_59rFLtadesAiYfR0uCIO2cTdEse53vwMysdLNsrpurEIRqfWV8tc-1puW41tf-tyyp_sRjJAJMFAJqAGbEEg9cypzGEkdcQJlr_Pi8o/s320/Olusegun+agagu-727802.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6102263450997684146" /></a></p><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><font size="2" color="#3352ac"><b><i>Written September '13</i></b></font></div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br></div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Barely one year after the demise of his Press secretary Babatunde Carter Ogunkorede, Dr.Olusegun Agagu former Governor of the south western state of Ondo yesterday(Friday 13th,2013) slumped in his Ikoyi,Lagos residence and died before he could get medical help. This incident occurred less than 24hours after he returned to the country from a trip abroad where he was said to have sought medical attention.<br>Born on February 16, 1948 Dr. Agagu was sworn in as Governor of Ondo state on May29,2003 after serving in President Obasanjo's cabinet as his first Minister of Aviation between May 1999-2001. The professional geologist was sworn-in for his second term in office in 2007 but that was short lived as he was booted out in February 2009 for electoral malpractice during his reelection.<br>Agagu's death comes on the heels of massive crisis in his party where he is being fingered to be one of the lifelines of the embattled President GEJ. He is the second Governor in post military era Ondo state who have lost his life following the demise of Adebayo Adefarati in 2007. Dr. Agagu was also the deputy Governor to Bamidele Olumilua in the defunct third republic.<br><br>However things have not usually been rosy for the classy Ikare native. Asides his electoral travails and battle with former associate, Olusegun Mimiko who is the present Governor of the state, Agagu has also been involved in alleged financial mismanagement. He has been having a running trial in the hands of the country anti corruption body EFCC. Also in September 2008,he was summoned by the Nigerian Senate on account of certain discrepancies discovered during his tenure as Aviation Minister.<br><br>Dr. Olusegun Kokumo Agagu had his elementary education in his native Okitipupa in Ondo state, northern state of Kano before moving to Ibadan where he had his post primary education. The former Governor was admitted to studied Botany in University of Ibadan but changed his course to Geology where he graduated with a second class upper division in 1971. He later moved on to the University of Texas where he obtained his masters degree in geology then crowned his education with a Ph.D in Petroleum Geology at his alma mater- the University of Ibadan.<br><br>He is the third of the post military former Governors from the south west region to have lost their lives. Asides his predecessor Adebayo Adefarati, a former Oyo state governor Alhaji Lam Adesina also died less than a year ago.<br><br>Prominent Nigerians including President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has been offering their condolences to his family and the people of Ondo state in general.

I also expect Governors from most of the 36 states and the FCT to cancel children's day celebrations which involve match past by school kids amongst other pageantry.</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br>Most importantly I expect those actors who throng Abuja on daily basis since the girls have been abducted to intensify their crying skills which would make Nkiru Sylvanus and even Julia Roberts envious to upgrade their new found stock in trade by devising a new wailing trick. I also expect orators and other vocal Nigerians to tongue lash the President for failing to #BringBackOurGirls. I expect that Twitter and Facebook would be filled with all binary of texts either against or perhaps in favor of the president on the kidnap matter. I expect the opposition APC to haul insult at Jonathan and the PDP. I even expect the Governor of Borno to organize a protest rally to Abuja with the 53 girls who managed to escape the Boko Rams. I also expect mama Peace to summon wives of service chiefs and demand why their husbands have not been doing enough in bringing back the girls,perhaps she might even threaten to "impeach them as house wives who don't know their duties". However at the end of the day, I expect that the girls would still be missing and we would again all go back to our normal businesses,have our favorite meals, drink our favorite wine, watch our favorite television shows etc…what a broadsided nation!</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br>Nigeria is headed towards an abyss of self destruction and everyone is to blame. We have entered a phase when people prefer to put the blame on government for their burnt food rather than chastise themselves for being carried away. How did we arrive at this juncture, is God annoyed with Nigeria, why is the government so reckless, would the girls be brought back alive? All these and even more questions are bound on my mind as I write this piece.</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br>Years ago, Nigeria was celebrated to be the giant of Africa because amongst many things, our Army played the big brother role. Nigeria has quelled insurgency in parts of Africa, we have stabilized nations like Liberia, we were in Sao Tome, Mali Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, etc but now we need foreign aid to surmount an ordinary home grown rebellion. It's been a month and the half since about 250girls have been missing yet we don't seem to be getting close. Not even the recent invasion sorry acceptance of foreign aid have brought back the girls. So how did we get here.</div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br>Wasilah Umah is a 14year old child whose mates where in school when she was married off to a 35years already married man, Umar Sanni. Two weeks after the wedding, the Child bride killed her husband and three of his friends with a mixture of rat poison. Nobody knows what was going on in her mind but this a child who has been defiled of her innocence against her will. She is presently languishing in custody because authorities are confused on what to do with her because she is a minor. Everyday, girls go missing in several parts of the country and they end up being sold into early marriage or even slavery and this seemed fair until Boko Haram blew the whistle by kidnapping more girls than the world could ignore, but the truth is this, it has been going on for ages without anyone paying attention. Late last year, the heartless rebels burnt down a college of Agriculture in Yobe killing several students but this didn't call for international attention. Again this year, the militants killed several students in a boys school in a gory massacre only found in foreign movies yet the United Nations, USA, Britain etc didn't see any reason to react but why now? Another drama is what is seen among the #BringBackOurGirls protesters. After the girls were kidnapped, the president set up a committee "towards unraveling the circumstances surrounding the reported abduction". The committee was supposed to meet with all parties involved in the abduction saga and articulate a framework for the rescue of the girls. One man who was named on that committee was respected legal luminary Barr. Femi Falana (SAN) and to nobody's surprise, the "activist" rejected to be a member of the committee claiming he was already a lawyer to the parents of the kidnapped girls, how pathetic. </div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br></div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Now Nigerians swallowed that only to see our revered legal icon take to the streets in support of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. Isn't it rather sad that someone who declined to be a part of the solution to solving an issue would rather take to the streets and these people claim to be progressives yet they had rather criticize than render solutions. The most annoying aspect was that Falana was seen on the street alongside self acclaimed anti corruption ambassador and former House of Representatives member, Dino Melaye. Now Melaye wants the federal government to #BringBackOurGirls which is fair enough. However this is coming from an individual who for almost a decade turned his wife into a punching bag beating her to stupor on several occasions and sadly in the presence of their children. Not even her pregnant state deterred him from battering her. This same man have been going about attacking the government for not protecting the Nigerian populace even after he might have helped breed a new set of monstrous kids who believe beating up your wife is a good way of correcting her or a lady who believe she would be beaten up anytime she slights her male colleague.<br>Truth is beyond Boko Haram, we have all contributed to the killing of children around the country. Parents who abandon their offspring to abusive helps, teachers who fail in their responsibility to deliver knowledge unto their wards, and most incredulously a government of you and I who have failed the coming generations. As Nigeria celebrates Children's day today, I feel sad knowing what the future holds for these kids is nothing worth celebrating. The child died in him/her who has been made to go through this turbulent entity referred to as Nigeria and whose fault is this?</div><br>Kayodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15482302314119798711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353402441021996772.post-37388240119347793252015-01-09T09:38:00.001+01:002015-01-09T09:38:35.508+01:00Ann Coulter,American Bigots and The Nigerian Story<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_FFszGpt3cGdJPLugH36Cj5QvdCA55P9425nxapJW2UXzY9A95Mh5KgR2V8XoCY5e3wIM5qdyeKCo6UuX2wU5e0963SnU3zmHgR1pVQvYK1AKgeRjBit4DljzShJW54g5mdhAPCa8Mhw/s1600/Ann+coulter-715509.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_FFszGpt3cGdJPLugH36Cj5QvdCA55P9425nxapJW2UXzY9A95Mh5KgR2V8XoCY5e3wIM5qdyeKCo6UuX2wU5e0963SnU3zmHgR1pVQvYK1AKgeRjBit4DljzShJW54g5mdhAPCa8Mhw/s320/Ann+coulter-715509.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6102258247856138578" /></a></p><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><font size="2" color="#1f497d"><i><b>This article was written in November '13</b></i></font></div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><br></div><div style="white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">It is rather sad and pathetic knowing that the world still possesses obstinate and prejudiced individuals in this 21st century. It is even more painful that these narrow-minded thinking individuals are much grounded in our so called global hegemon, "God's own country". It is without prejudice that I make bold to request the Nigerian Government to make an official statement addressing these incessant verbal attacks from Americans and perhaps demand an apology and immediate retraction but alas we don't even have an Information Minister.<br>Firstly it was controversial Texas Senator Ted Cruz who said "You may have noticed that all the Nigerian email scammers have become a lot less active lately. They all have been hired to run the Obamacare website". A pitiable statement which came with a rather mollifying apology from the Republican. I thought American Senate was filled with sane people!<br>The final pang came with the submission of Ms Ann Coulter, a cheap courtesan whose racial obsession is only second to the late German Chancellor Adolf Hitler. Coulter has continually shown her disdain for immigrants in America claiming most criminals in her country are foreigners and this time she believes a large percentage of this group are Nigerians, such pulsating exaggeration. Hear her:<br>"After decades of our Third World-only immigration policies, one can't help noticing that Medicare and Medicaid are beckoning Disneylands for foreign-born thieves.<br>The problem isn't their complexion, it's their culture. In America, we think only dumb people become criminals. That's not true in the Third World! Nigeria, for example, leads the world in criminal enterprises. Every level of Nigerian society is criminal, with the smart ones running Internet scams, the mid-range ones running car theft rings, and the stupid ones engaging in piracy and kidnapping. At the University of Lagos, you can major in credit card fraud".<br> It is quite disappointing for a supposedly reputable journalist and lawyer who ought to know the implication of making careless statements to be found in this damaging situation. Madam Coulter has revealed her shallow partisanship and political pillaging in protecting the interest of her war loving republican party but then what do you expect from a 51 year old lady, three times engaged but never married, an act that is largely frowned at by the Nigerian culture...little wonder she so attacked it as being extremely criminal minded. It's funny that a lady of Coulter's status 'who keeps a low moral display of indiscipline' expects an entire nation to fit into her rather myopic concept of generalism. A lady of menopausal rank who has not been able to maintain a relationship leading to marriage. Would it be fair to conclude that all America's elitist ladies lead this lifestyle?!<br> This whole ruse began with the controversial 'Obamacare' policy which as a non-American. I wouldn't want to dabble into it but what begs the question is why Americans have continuously blamed their inexpedient situations on non citizens but are quick to embrace the same people when they attain a positive feat. An example is the number of numerous Nigerian immigrants playing in their soccer league, thespians in hollywood, military men, doctors, nurses and several progressive men and women of Nigerian heritage working on american soil. Rather than face their problems squarely, they keep laying blames on us. This is really lacking the articulated superintendence America is reputed for (or which we were made to believe). I wonder why an issue which largely affects the generality of the American populace but is now being turned into a subject to vilify Nigeria. Coulter and her cohorts have failed to focus on their issues while defaming the good people of Nigeria.</div><br>Kayodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15482302314119798711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353402441021996772.post-54438863911542871472015-01-09T07:03:00.001+01:002015-01-09T07:03:57.602+01:00Between our 'National Whore' Beverly Osu and our "National Prostitutes" in govt <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
So our "National Whore" Beverly OSU(outcast in Igboland) finally gets down with her 90days confused 'dada' boyfy Angelo in a rather pathetic and undignified manner. But then what's the difference between Miss OSU and our pathetic politRicians who f**'s us everyday without reprieve. Now the difference is that unlike former Nigerian contestant, Ofunneka Monokwu who got drunk and was 'FingerRaped' by a "married" 'dada' 5years younger than her, OSU(which best describes her anyway) warned us all with weeks of flirting and several foreplay...you wouldn't forget in a hurry the popular 'fingering' or "Nigeria's sub-rape" as posited by movie maker Charles Novia which the people we elect don't ever do before betraying us.
For your information, Beverly kept warning and preparing us for what to expect from her, making it obvious that her highly active libido which has in the past been satisfied by people like rapper 2shotz and several unconfirmed video directors(remember she is a so-called 'video vixen') could not endure the torture of 90days without getting some. Although overnight, several blogs have made a lot of noise about the "uninteresting" bathtub act between both house mates making Beverly more mentioned online than GEJ and Dame altogether in the past 20hours, its quite disgusting the show of shock in some quarters over the act...as if we never saw it coming.
Apparently its high time I give my opinion on this evil BBA which has continued to glorify bad manners, dirty acts and ofcourse help create more jobless youths turned un-useful overnight celebs in the several participating countries. Africa seems to be at war...a war with poverty, bad governance, insecurity, economic crumbling, terrorism etc and all we can think of as a unifying factor is -in Novia's voice "Ghana giving Tanzania STDs" or "South Africa sub-raping Nigeria" or perhaps the glorification of privates parts turned continental public areas for global consumption in the rather disgusting shower hour.
Like most young people, I am affected by what I read and watch on the internet and so it is left to imagination how many youths on the African continent who have been possessed by this show of shame and degradation of the African culture. Nigeria is at war in the North, Zimbabwe is in another political crisis-an aftermath of yet another Mugabe self transition, Mali at war with itself, Egypt in comatose and several other crisis on the continent and in one day, two unguarded young adults disgracing themselves and embarrassing their families overshadow all these turmoil. I can imagine Beverly's mother watching the 'bathtub show' and saying proudly to her friends in Nollyhood's Mama G's voice..."that's my girl". Oh what an irony.
Over the years, Big Brother Africa organized by some disgusting firm in South Africa has continued to dement the thinking of young adults who now believe what they see is normal especially in the "globalization" context as against values they were taught by their parents and ofcourse our deceitful society. In the 2007 edition, Richard Bezuidenhout rapped the drunk Nigerian mate, Ofunneka and simply said there was nothing wrong with it. Like he said "Well, this is Africa", the rest is history as the 'Manual rapist' as Richard was referred to went on to win the $100,000 prize of the game. Again what an irony.
Like the good Professor, Professor Wole Soyinka who thoroughly detest the continental show of shame, it is pertinent to at juncture posits that the silence kept by people who perhaps can make a positive change is most rather unwelcome. Its high time we all condemn in its entirety the activities of these agents of a demoralized Africa where our hard-core moral values which is synonymous to us as a peculiar people on the surface of the earth is being bastardized with the mask of entertainment. Nigeria is a Country where pornography is condemned daily and several moves has been made to control internet porn yet BBA invades our airwaves with a milder kind of soft porn while we sit back perhaps hapless as teenagers and even their younger ones are introduced to a world of immorality right in their father's parlor...atleast in the past kids who wanted to indulge in this had to do it with some discretion(hidden dvds, porn obtained through bluetooth from friends' phones etc). BBA Chase is a nuisance, why encourage youths to chase indignity above dignity,indecency above decency, why spend so much resources to promote moral decadence. Somebody needs tell, Multi Choice that Africa needs better moral teaching packages not a show where girls with kids out of wedlock and boys who should be fathoming a way forward for our economic lock jam only come to showcase their sexual prowess ...
PERHAPS its high time our National Assembly who have in recent times shown interest in similar matters(#same sex marriage,#ChildBride et al) promulgate a law prohibiting any Nigerian citizen from participating in this show of shame while also prohibiting it from being aired on any Nigerian package on DSTV (We even heard when they tried deliberating on the possibility some years ago,it was frustrated by some UN-honorables who were quite excited about the shower hour). PERHAPS this might just be a way to begin checking the excesses of Multi Choice's control of our airwaves. Atleast we wouldn't forget in a hurry the embarrassment given the country during the last Nations Cup over televising on local stations. Still on the Nations Cup,I believe this is enough for the unification of the continent unlike what the thieving organizers of the amoral BBA which promotes promiscuity among opposite sex. PERHAPS in the subsequent shows we should be watching out for homosexual intercourse shown live across the continent,I can just imagine life trans-country 'bonning' ofcourse to our valueless chagrin. PERHAPS our politicians would awake from their slumber then and start crying foul. Or PERHAPS,a rift which might someday go bad with the use of sharp objects resulting to PERHAPS bodily harm or even 'God forbid on their behalf' PERHAPS murder.
Come to think of it, what justification do we even have as Nigerians after all an OSU sorry OAU(Obafemi Awolowo University) student has recently entered the Guinness book of World record for Longest sex covering 15hours,7Mins and 23seconds, I wonder what this would do to us as a nation.
Perhaps, I should never have even written this or PERHAPS it is my obligation to in order to prevent our future generation from living in a society where immorality 'is nothing'(in Olamide's voice)
...PERHAPS
Dats wassap!</div>

I just read somewhere that Boko Haram has attacked an Agriculture College in Yobe killing several students. This is highly disastrous and uncalled for. BH is most definitely killing their own future. The North would someday suffer for this as they would not just lack man power but would have lost their best brains to these senseless attacks. Shame on all Northern governors who rather than find a solution to the chaos in their area are more concerned in wrestling power from GEJ.
Also GEJ would have been a major failure by 2015 if he does not succeed in curbing these miserable beasts. I wonder what he would say tonight about the progress of JTF deployed to the troubled areas. I remember mentioning back then that it was simply insensible to declare a state of emergency in some areas while leaving out other parts. Its simple logic, they would just change their local government too.
BH has destroyed the future of the north,someday the north would pay dearly for ever allowing these faceless group of "un-Islamic" idiots who lacks ideology or even common sense to operate while claiming to be fighting for the same people they are killing. Which sensible ideological group kills its own. It is well known that the North is far behind the Southern part of the country when it comes to intellectuals and educated minds, so what begs the question is why on earth are these idiots killing their own.
Perhaps the human mind is just not comprehensible.
Congratulations BH has won, it has succeeded in ensuring the killing of those who might have probably brought light to their dark race.

My favourite playlìst 4 dis<br />
period include in no particular order***<br />
¤FELA-Suffering and Smilling: In my opinion Fela Anikulapo Kuti is the most under celebratèd entertainment icon turned musical prophet this part of the world would ever come across. When President GEJ announced the removal of fuel subsidy removal on Sunday January 1st 2012,it was funny than Nigerians rather than just cry blue murder and lament took to their Facebook and Twitter accounts creating all soughts of hillarious posts which has made us all laugh all week. All soughts of fuel jokes were formulated not forgeting illustrations,catoons and graphical comics which suddenly came aboard. The whòle saga just reminds one of the legendary song of Abami Eda,maybe you should just listen yourself and draw your conclusions. <br />
¤EEDRIS Abdulkareem-Nigria<br />
Jaga Jaga: The then hottest artiste in Naija got into the bad books of the then President(the farmer from Abeokuta) who simply declared that "na im papa jagaga" when He released this song. Imagine armed robbers who dont want your money or interested in raping your wife but simply wanna take your life. Anyway,these days armed robbers want nothing from yout but your fuel. Oil crisis,Boko Haram bòmbings,Lecturers strike,dearth of rule of law,700% increment in school fees,Toll fee slamming etc only proves that 'Mr. Lecturer' foresaw this situation which we are presently facing. Sincerely Nigeria has Jaga Jaga. <br />
¤African China-Mr. President: "Mr President,lead us well* if u b governor,govern us well*if u b senator,senate am well*if u b police,police well well.no dey take bribe". Now its obvious people like Tafa Balogun and Bode George only stole the lyrical 'maggi' afterall especialy when you compare their loots to those of our other celebrated leaders. With this fuel subsidy removal,Mr. President has proven that he aint ready to lead us well. Anyway,this song is a proper struggle track which is quite entertaining.<br />
¤Femi kuti-Wonder: Right about now, about 150million Nigerians are still wondering what came over our confused President when he decided to remove this controversial subsidy when the debate was still ongoing even in the Senate. Well we might perhaps need the service of our dear fellow widow oh sorry our grammertical person of the year,Dame. Am sure the President is also wondering why He chickened away to the demands of IMF stooge,Madam Okonjo Iweala and her fellow capitalists Sanusi,Deziani-Madueke et al.<br />
¤Mode 9-Lagos state of mind: 247,my people underground-Lagos state of mind. N<br />
ow Modenine aka Mathematical sege aka Red Eye nigga isnt known for commercial hits but this particular track represents the every day hustle and bustle of the Nigeria's commercial capital,Lagos especially in a situation like this which we have found ourselves.<br />
¤Fela-Army Arrangement: Although this song was released by the Black President to describe the then scenario during the military era,it is no doubt a song which represents the present situation in the country. I think one of these new artists ought to remix this super song(something like Politicial Arrangee or something). <br />
¤Asa-ILU: My favourite female entertainer of all time,Asa recorded this song during her sorjoun with embattled boss,Kelvin Luciano of QuestionMark imprint. ILU is an afrobeat song delivered in her native Yoruba which simply tends to compare the present situation of things in the country with how things were in the past. ILU means Nation and Asa explains that when a Nation is unsettled,then the leaders should be held responsible.<br />
¤TY Bello-The Future: There is this group online,#Occupy Nigeria and what they are preaching is the same thing Toyin Shokefun Bello said in her song. The Future is here so the youths should start running things by eliminatinting every negative obstacle blocking their path to achieving a progregressive Nigeria. For real,our Fathers generation have failed us and its time we tell them we are a better version of them.shikena.<br />
¤Lagbaja-Surulere: Now for anyone who have seen the visual representation of this song which was animated,then you wuld understand why this song is in the playlist. From the period the colonial masters forcefully joined the entity called Nigeria,to the militaray era up to what we now call a democratic system of government,Lagbaja masterfully presents what is presetly happening. Now if the Nigerian youth fails to do something this time around,then We would be like the proverbial drunkard who turns the drinking gourd into a cap. And remember to always sleep with only one eye closed.<br />
¤Sound Sultan- Animal Farm: "dem don turn Naija to Animal Farm where monkey dey work and baboon dey chop". SoundSultan,a proper comrade presents a lyrical and humorous description of the Nigerian situation. Other songs from Sultan which falls in this category include Bush Meat,Koleyewan etc. . .<br />
*mehn am tire jor.try getting your hands on these<br />
tracks and you would understand the realm which I am writing from. . . <br />
Now dats wassap!Kayodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15482302314119798711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353402441021996772.post-52303825432528529622011-12-07T10:36:00.000+01:002011-12-07T10:36:41.607+01:00Top 11 NAIJA ACTS OF 2011In terms of entertainment,my 2011 was made whole and memorable by these musicians who one way or the other variously rocked Africa's entertainment capital,the emerging mega city Lagos. Although in 2011,I only partied a little due to a strict academic schedule,my regular playlists had songs of these Naija peeps blasting all year.<br />
NB: please note that this list is a personal opinion and therefore does not reflect the wishes of the general public. However,if for any reason,there is someone somewhere who might have reservations about my lìst,abeg 'Go write your list' or better still *in Noble Igwe's voice* go hug transformer. . .<br />
Painfully because it has to be 11,I couldnt add some of my other favourite artistes like Eldee da Don,Jahbless,Sound sultan,Flavour,Mo'cheda,SID,9ice etc. . .<br />
<br />
11. JHYBO: This guy just came from yonder and blew me away. I first saw him on sound city in the video for his monterous single 'Ejo le fe ro' featuring Cynthia Morgan and that was how our love story began. The song was to later turn into a street anthem especialy because of the catchy and street credible title and bridge. This made me go online in search of Jibola Toriola and you would be amazed at his other singles. The dude's super performance in Lasu alongside Miss Morgan further endeared him to me or is it me to him(abeg whatever) . Some of his other notable tracks include Amplified,Run away,Bee naani etc. He sure rocked my 2011.<br />
10. SAMCLEF: Musically,this Igbo boi might not have made massive hits but his contribution to the success of hit tracks through production cannot be overemphasised. Samklef naani became a signature for hit songs in 2011 and the amazing thing is that a couple of my favourite songs for the year under review had that signature. In terms of personal songs,Sam also didnt disappoint as he had his own fair share of successful recordings with songs like Molowo,noninanaire etc.<br />
9. ASA: My best female artiste of all times,Asa's Beautiful Imperfection had a carry over from last year when i bought the cd to 2011,infact it is still one my favourite collection. Truth is if Asa spits on a mike and its recorded,i ll surely buy because I just cant seem to get enough of this super diva. Be my man,Bimpe,Baby gone etc has refused to leave my playlist even after all these months.<br />
8. TIWA SAVAGE: This pweedy petite lady came and like most other guys simply blew me away. Sincerely,she ought to be exported back abroad because her performance skills is simply out of this world. I think she ought to be sharing the same stage with the likes of Beyonce,Rihanna,Lady Gaga etc. Her energy is out of this world and for her songs. . .simply unique. Tiwa made my year with the monter hit -'kele kele' and the beautifully recorded 'love me love me'.<br />
7. ICE PRINCE: Mr Zamani just kept blowing us away this year with hits after hits and for once I thought he was from Mo'hits. Anyway,the album E.L.I (Everbody Loves Iceprince) is a 2011 favourite which cannot be described except you listen yaself. Bigups Iceprince.<br />
6. TERRY G: Hated by many but cannot be ignored by all,Gabriel Anmayi as usual had his year flled with controversies expecialy as it concern songs theft and not honouring shows but he kept coming up bigger with tunes after tunes which we all couldnt ignore but to dance to. 2011 saw Terry G experimenting with different genres of music which eventualy came out succesful. Couldnt have imagined a Terry G doing Fuji but he did and it was quite wonderful. Not forgeting songs like Jah elo and the party banger Aphako which has remained another street anthem.<br />
5. NAETO C:The only word that can be used to describe this dude is phenomenom,simply because he is. Sometimes last year he threw a challenge to other young artistes when he obtained his MsC but Naetochukwu seems not ready to rest on his oars as he is set for another feat_a PhD. Yes,this dude is possitively ambitious which is good anyway. Now leaving academic achivevent,no music chat would be complete without having a representation of the 10/10 crooner as this year was a very good one for him. His sophomore album Super C Season realeased in Febuary was widely acclaimed a success and follow up singles did really well. His 5&6 track was an instant success and generally Naeto can be scored 10/10 in the year und er review. Bigups dawg. . .<br />
4. OLAMIDE: I have never placed my hands on any Olamide album yet I have a playlist for every song he has ever recorded or featured on. Thats the level of likenes s I have for this dude. Smooth flows,humourous punchlines,incredible lyrics and an unimaginable delivery,Olamide is simply a little lyrical wizard or 'young erikina' as he prefares to be called. 2011 saw Olamide joining other A-list artists at the top making Coded tunes boss Id Cabassa and Manager Toni Payne(9ice's enstraged wife) absolutely proud. Olamide is my man anyday and dats wassap! <br />
3. TUFACE:Year in year out,one cant seem to get enough of this father of many as he never fails to dissapoint cynics and critics that he is simply the best to come out of Africa in recent times. Irrespective of scandals and personal misadventures,2baba remained at the very top where he seems to have been for almost a decade churning out hits after hits.2011 wasnt a bad year for Mr. Innocent as he adequately represented performing at shows and getting featured on hit songs. Tuface most definitely rocks. . . <br />
2. WIZKID: "When you see me drive by,halla at ur boi. . .". The song Halla at ur boy was a track we all fell in love with even though that was short live as some haters came up with some stories of our homeboi wizzy stealing that song. Some pundits even predicted that it was over for his yet to begin career and like a cat with 9 lives,Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun son of Alhaji M.O Balogun bounced back into reckoning proving to all that he is no fluke of an artist. Infact his experimentation with the seemingly local genre Fuji on tracks like Pakurumo and No lele got people(me inclusive) dancing non stop and my homboi smiling all the way to the bank,winning awards and headlining shows i love this dude.<br />
1.DBANJ:"I have a confession,dont take it personal". Even if Dbanj hadnt recorded that massive hit song-Oliver,he would still have been my number one artist of 2011. This guy is simply an enigma,a work of supelative art to behold by all. 2011 saw Dbanj collaborating with the dog father himself,Snoop Dogg and then moving on to get signed and endorsed by Kanye West's GOOD LIFE MUSIC. As if that wasnt enough,Mr. Endowed further went back into the studio and what was the result-a catchy sound that we couldnt help but move to. Dbanj asides Tuface is undeniably the biggest act of 2011. Generally,it was a good year for the Mo'hits family as all their artistes didnt fall short of expectation especially Dr. Sid.<br />

The first part was exhilirating with a̶̲̥̅ lot of Goals missed,S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ many blunders commited and a̶̲̥̅ lot of bad decision taken.<br />
The refree did his job perfectly but because it wasn't in our favour,then "Man yen ti she partial jare".everything seems †☺ be against us,the BALL,the UMPIRE and even the spetators.Things just weren't right.<br />
Alas! A̶̲̥̅ fresh oppotuinity ȋ̝̊̅§ here which provide the same ample chance like the one squandered in the first half. I now have the oppotuinity †☺ score all the goals I intended for this match('11). No more excuses,no more indifference because this ȋ̝̊̅§ a̶̲̥̅ second chance and like what Sir Alex was expecting,NO there would be no Third half.<br />
The ball is in my court,would I J̥§†̥ stand it and merely look or would I reverse back †☺ my goal post and commit an offensive against myself or would I rather pave way and drive ahead towards my goal. This and many more would be for the end of match review at the end of part 2.<br />

Now that we have all registered (supposedly every Nigerian adult), it is time to move on to the next mode in the rsvp formation. It is time to select our preferred candidates for prospective positions across the country and in my own opinion want to share my thoughts about the top presidential candidates.<br />
1. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan: Always loyal to his bosses, GEJ has held several executive positions but has never won an election of his own. He believes largely on good luck and the powers of his god father but the Nigerian situation requires more than mere luck to thrive. Goodluck although the leading candidate for todays presidential polls but lost several supporters due to his refusal to attend the NN24 presidential debater. Also his interview with superstar, Dapo Oyebanjo(Dbanj) did more harm than good to his ambition as people are of the opinion that Dbanj does not really represent the Nigerian youth as he was presented. GEJ still looks good to top the race but might need a little extra to get the required percentage.<br />
2. General Muhammadu Buhari: An old horse that has refused to give up in his quest to rule Nigeria, Buhari comes across as a strict disciplinarian who seems rather in an attempt to bring past leaders to book than he intends to transform the country. The retired military general who is not tired at all is obliviously on the path of vendetta even though he appears sincere enough. However, the General comes to the party this time without former power house Tunde Idiagbon (now late) who was seen as the major decision maker during their regime in the 80s but this time he has acquired the services of controversial Pastor Tunde Bakare in an attempt to sail the Nigerian ship successfully. Buhari contested in 2003,2007 and is back this term even though his motives has not been well articulated other than being attributed to statements like “I would probe this, I would investigate that” which is not providing a clear way forward for the Nigerian socio-political terrain.<br />
3. Mallam Nuhu Ribadu: Petite and agile, the former chairman of economic and financial crimes commission comes into an unfamiliar terrain of active politics to contest in the highest office of the land using the now getting truly national Action Congress of Nigeria. Mallam Ribadu cant be easily forgotten especially with his escapades during his EFCC days where he was labelled an Obasanjo’s PHD boy ( PHD means Pull Him Down). Ribadu, although paraded as member of the new generation seems unprepared but instead only being used by Asiwaju himself as a bargaining tool. However, the past weeks of rigorous campaign as showed that the Adamawa born Mallam cannot be easily pushed aside. A sentence to describe Ribadu is simply, “former PDP errand boy now ACN negotiation tool”.<br />
4. Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau: Kano state Governor for the past 8 years who before now was not really known outside the Northern circle surprised everybody with his oratory skills and readiness for the Nigerian polity. Although, his state is seen to have been ceaded to Muhamadu Buhari’s CPC, Mallam Shekarau appears to be a formidable force which has also further burtressed with the recent stepping aside and subsequent support of Professor Pat Utomi, another presidential candidate who is perceived as the economic answer to the problems Nigeria is facing as nation. Immediately after the NN24 organised presidential debate,indications on social networks facebook and twitter revealed that a lot of young people where already buying the Shekarau ideology as he proved his readiness to rule the country with his professional and articulate mode of responding to questions. Shekarau might also serve as a pain in the ass to the PDP formation.<br />

WHICH WAY NIGEIA!.Kayodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15482302314119798711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353402441021996772.post-40953184978608664192011-01-09T17:59:00.000+01:002011-01-09T17:59:08.298+01:002010 Top10(top5)For those who read the first 5 and have been asking me to balance the trend, here you gooooooooooooo.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Kas ft Tuface & Dbanj-fimile2 : “this is not a thing to discuss in this type of place”. The intro Tuface gave to the song is just a perfect explanation to my thoughts on this song. However to calm all controversies, I think Dbanj had a better performance to 2baba.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Jahbless ft Ice prince, Rugged man, Eldee, Reminisce, Durella- Jor o Rmx : Hilarious is simply the perfect word to describe this track. I am so in love with it especially the surprise utterances from artistes you could never have imagined could say such. How do you explain Ice prince’s “I get bling bling all over my condom” or Eldee’s “Rihanna lo ja bend down”. Even Rugged and Reminisce deserve big ups.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Tuface- Only me: whether he was dissing my homeboi Mikel in this track or not, I can’t help but to enjoy the lyrics from Africa’s finest. Even with the baby mama dramas, 2baba by all odds is the biggest artiste of 2010 abi who fit sell album for 1k in Naija and still smile to the bank. “if to say na just me, I would be doing anyhow . . .”<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Dbanj-Endowed: I checked my dictionary and to my amazement, I discovered the word ENDOWED was there and that got me surprised. How come no one noticed the word until da koko master used it in his monster hit? Now, a lot of profile names on Facebook and Twitter goes with the endowed moniker. If it is not Seyi endowed, its Pretty chick endowed or Zainab endowed tohbad bla bla bla. Even the guys are not left out. Atleast I have a fiend who now claims to be intellectually endowed. Anyway, the popularity of the word only goes to show how widely accepted the track is. It was even my ring tone before Choc City decided to let loose their weapon of MIC destruction.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Ice Prince ft Brymo- Oleku: When he won the Hennesy artistry, We all just took it as any other musician who will end up like others before him(project fame,idols etc in mind). Even when we heard him on tracks by rugged man, KSB, Jesse Jags etc, he still didn’t get much of our attention but a lot of us lost our breadth when we heard the massive hit Oleku featuring sonorous singer Brymo who by the way is my hood boi. Ice prince Zamani totally killed this one with great lines and hooks which in my opinion is outta this world. Words no matter how structured can never be used to explain this lyrical explosion but obviously, this cool dude is about to explode.Kayodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15482302314119798711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353402441021996772.post-19078928775759253852010-12-31T10:32:00.000+01:002010-12-31T10:32:44.296+01:00MY TOP10 SONGS FOR 2010Musically my 2010 stated with songs off C.E.O by late rapper Dagrin and Tradition from Adigun himself 9ice whoose track 9 was to later cause commotion in the entertainment industry.<br />
However,as the year began in earnest,Naija artiste never failed to thrill US as they churned out hits after hits largely accepted by fans & highly endorsed by d DJs.these songs run into scores & therefore are too numerous to mention.so am gonna give in my Own opinion n 'P' assesment My top10 4 2010.Enjoy!<br />
<br />
10) Asa-Be my man: If Asa recites the national anthem or even the lord's prayer on an agidigbo beat,it would still make my favorite playlist because she is one yoruba babe who have proved to all & sundry dat she knows her game.In 2010,Asa returned wit a superb album beautiful imperfection and I couldnt help bt fall in love with d lead single Be my man where she boldly declares her commitment to him(whoever he is).2011 is most definitely gonna be Asa's yr especialy when considering other tracks on d album(Bimpe remains my best).Was dat Asa dancing in da video? <br />
<br />
9)Essence ft Jaywon-Facebook love: After provin 2pundits dat she is more than a KSB tag along with Kalangolo,Essence further suprised us all with the wonder experiment_ Facebook love alongside new collabo expert Jaywon. This song became an anthem 4a lot of young people especially those of us who call practicaly call Fb home. I love da video too(bigups Clarence).<br />
<br />
8) Pype ft Dagrin,Naeto C,Vector,Sashe,Gt-Champion rmx: In 2010,d 5star general retured wit an all star remix to da hit song Champion & we were all blown away.d storm allstar combo really worked cause d track was transformed from a stereotyped reggea track to a street anthem dat we all loved.Dagrin 4me had da best lines followed by Vector. Anyway in 2010,General Pype rocked various gigs ,clubs n concerts. Not even Supersport could resist da temptation.<br />
<br />
7)Dr SID-Over d moon: With a succes on his 1st single Something about U,Sidney Esiri further proved to us dat his new found pop love was no fluke.Over d moon z a monster hit put together by d master himself don baba Jay.it features Dbanj's kid brother Kswitch.<br />
<br />
6) Wizkid-Holla @ ur boi: I once sat in d same lecture hall with dis dude and never imagined how talented he was. Even when We heard him on Mi's fast money fast cars,we still dismissed him as a proud fluke but wizzy blew me away on dis track.wheather na copy copy or not,I must confess He is highly talented and av got places to go(thanks to contradiction/tosyn bucknor)<br />
