NIGERIAN STATUS UPDATE!

RSVP! Which way to go Nigeria
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.
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.
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.
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”.
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.

WHICH WAY NIGEIA!.

2010 Top10(top5)

For those who read the first 5 and have been asking me to balance the trend, here you gooooooooooooo.


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.


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.


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 . . .”


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.


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.

MY TOP10 SONGS FOR 2010

Musically 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.
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!

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?

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).

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.

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.

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)

MR XMaS

Whats all dis noise about dis one man who is visiting tomorow.throughout last month, all I heard was He is coming.it seems he is some kindda VIP bcos of the way some people have been so happy and some others so sad. . .then last week the information was that he was almost here and then d rush began.People started gettin excited.Some people even ran away from Lagos because of this man yet that didnt decrease the traffic jams which also practicaly remade the video for Wande Coal's bumper2bumper or maybe an explanation to kelly Handndsome's correction-Fender2Bumper.I wonder if He is some sort of task force,infact market people and other traders have put their prices in cloud 9 because of him.my neigbours have all gone gaga also.all this because a man is comin. Another funny thing is that all the kiddies in my area have also been going to visit his father as if to pacify him.My sisters? Ah dats something else. All manner of hairstyles has been the issue of discourse in myhouse.if its not fringe,then its some silly curly anoying style and the very annoying indian hair or lace wig which practicaly zapped my cousin's savings.every available space has been turned into a salon in my neigbourhood.I have a feeling this man is coming to take a bride in Lagos.
And then this morning I read online that he was here.please whenever he comes,I have a question 4 Mr Xmas: who exactly is He + why is He holding our town to ramsome o!

I went next door 2 check on a neigbour whoose wife wuz pregnant.her friends comin in would rub d woman's tummy n tell her well done wen in actual fact d dude's COCK derserves d praises.My grandpa neva forgave his wife as he grew old cos he blived old age wont av com had he nt eaten d APPLE yet u wanna deceive me wit ya golden(rather rotten) APPLE.MANDICURE,HANDICURE,LEGICURE,PENDINCURE ...cure as if there wuz ever an illness.yet we cant complain cos that's too lady-like.

Indulged Survivor!

It feels so good seeing the last quarter of this year. The thrills,the hilts & the giddy. Going back memory lane, I remember the beginning was so smooth and filled with promises that I got carried away. I remember my accident in june. As devastating as it was,it could have been worse. Each time i look at my crutches, I say 2myself "dat ain't in the manual"(@obike)lol and I say its noting but a reawakening,a clarion call. My own story is beta than that of millions around the world, ofcourse better than yours. If only I could turn back the hands of time,no that's for the dreamers. I ain't no dreamer. I am a SURVIVOR.    

***written sometimes last year

my voyage 'beyond'

You opened i entered.


I entered you opened.



Deeper i came knowin u better.

Better i knew u comin in deeper.



The estacy was just too overwhelming.

Too overwhelming was the estacy.



At last i am home!

Home i am at last.



Blank is my body where i was.

Where i was my body is blank.



Just because in u i am.

Inner in u i am.



My spirit soaring out loud.

Its limit beyond the cloud.



Back where i was,

my body people wailin over.

But d soul has flown higher.

Home i am atlast. . .



You opened i entered.

I entered you opened.

Welcomin me unto thy bossom.

"you are home my son"



Home i am atlast.

Atlast i am home.
