THANK YOU

Good morning, children of God.

Like one wise man said, a better world begins with a better student. And the only way to conquer ignorance and darkness is through education.

So there's a new school in the horizon, and it's not a joking stuff.

Have you heard about ESGT BENIN UNIVERISTY in Benin Republic?

I have a feeling you haven't.

I personally went to the school and I saw with my eyes what modern education looks like. Immediately, I started regretting why I even studied in Nigeria where we were all made to cram and pour out those 18th century syllables.

Nice accommodation
Quality lecturers
No strikes by lecturers (very important part)
NYSC is secured.
JAMB results are not required (thank God o. You don't need to start killing yourself when you get 179 in JAMB)
Wide array of courses are offered
It's approved by both the governments of Nigeria and Benin Republic
And Lectures are in English language

Now let's come to the more interesting part.

This school doesn't just believe in the whole classroom "teach and cram" thingy. They believe that since the world is changing, the ways a 21st century student is taught should be upgraded too.

They have free studios for students who want to go into music production!

I'm not even joking with you. And it's 100% free of charge

They also have free skill acquisition centres where students are taught how to develop their skills so that when they graduate, they can rely on themselves for employment in case if the governments of their countries can't provide that for them.

Interested students are taught sewing, hairdressing, shoemakimg, etc. FREE OF CHARGE.

And the one wey dey burst my head about the whole matter is that the tuition fee is not even that expensive when compared to all the benefits the school have to offer.

To avoid long story, if you wanna attend the school, or you know someone who would like to attend a nice school outside Nigeria at an affordable price, tell him or her to contact the following to speak with the school authority:

Thank you.

Do you find yourself forgetting where you put something? Or perhaps you just can’t remember the name of that person even though you see them all the time.

If you want to retain your memory then you have to work at it. Your brain needs to be used in different ways to maintain your acuity; such as our suggestions to help you at it, go and read!

We don’t just lose muscle over time — our brains can go through atrophy, too. More specifically, your brain’s cognitive reserve — its ability to withstand neurological damage due to aging and other factors without showing visible signs of slowing or memory loss — diminishes through the years. That can make it more difficult to perform mental tasks. But just as weight workouts add lean muscle to your body and help you retain more muscle in your later years, researchers now believe that following a brain-healthy lifestyle and performing regular, targeted brain exercises can also increase your brain’s cognitive reserve.

Giving your brain new experiences that combine physical senses—vision, smell, touch, taste, and hearing—with emotional “sense” stimulates more connections between different brain areas, causes nerve cells to produce natural brain nutrients that dramatically help memory, and makes surrounding cells stronger and more resistant to the effects of aging.

Try these brain exercises during your morning routine or your down time and see if you feel the difference.

1. Write instead of type (More Often)
We love our keyboards. They’re much more efficient at getting words on the page than your hand, a pencil, and a notebook. Nonetheless, you can learn more effectively by writing longhand and so you may want to ditch the laptop when you’re acquiring new knowledge. This happens because your brain’s filtering system (the reticular activating system, or RAS) processes what you’re actively focusing on at the moment. Writing triggers the RAS and lets your brain know it’s time to pay attention.

2. Brush teeth with your non-dominant hand.
Research has shown that using the opposite side of your brain (as in this exercise) can result in a rapid and substantial expansion of in the parts of the cortex that control and process tactile information from the hand. Brush, and don’t forget to open the tube and apply toothpaste in reverse, too.

3. Switch seats at the table.
In most families, everyone has his or her “own” seat, but your brain benefits from new experiences. Switch seats to change whose position you occupy, who you relate to, your view of the room, and even how you reach for salt and pepper.

4. Challenge your mind.
One of the simplest methods to boost your brain function is to keep on learning. The size and structure of neurons and the connections between them actually change as you learn. This can take on many forms above and beyond book learning to include activities like traveling, learning to play a musical instrument or speak a foreign language, or participating in social and community activities.
Another important method? Brain aerobics. As with learning, challenging your brain with mind-training exercises can keep your brain fit as you age. This can be something as simple as thinking of famous people whose first names begin with the letter A, doing crossword puzzles, or playing board games that get you thinking. Research has even shown that surfing the Web activates regions in your brain related to decision-making and complex reasoning. So unlike passively watching TV, using the Internet is an engaging task that may actually help to improve your brainpower.

When will music stop giving me inspirations

So I was listening to James Brown's It's A Man's Man's Man's World, then bruuuum, I got this brainstorm!

Why not make a list of movies for the men?

This is a movie list about manhood, the stories of fatherhood, men in love, men in military, brotherhood, friendship, comradeship, honour, organized crime, testosterone-fueled flicks and a lot more.

It was hard to limit these movies to just 100 cos there are lots of "manly" movies out there. So if there's any you didn't see on this Chidey's list, do well to leave them in the comments section.

1. Rambo movie series (1982)

2. Scarface (1983)

3. 300 (2006)

4. The Bourne movies - Bourne Identity (2002), Bourne Supremacy, Bourne Ultimatum

5. The Godfather trilogy (1972), (1974), (1990)

6. Rocky movies (1976)

7. The Hangover (2009)

8. Taxi Driver (1976)

9. American Pie (1999)

10. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

For the remaining 40 movies, please go to http://www.nolongtalk.com/50-movies-every-man-must-watch-dies/

So many of us had a good time, last night being Valentine. Not because we were with our vals, nope. But because Paris St Germain of France tore the great FC Barcelona of Spain to shreds. 4 nil was the score at Paris. So you can say that, it’s actually “love from Paris” on Val’s night, lol.

This awful result has got some Barca fans dreaming of making a great comeback. But is such a comeback really possible??

Well uhm, I can’t really say but history shows that Barca has done such comebacks twice in UCL history.

Now, let’s take a look at the most jaw dropping comebacks in Champions League history.

This amazing post is culled from http://www.nolongtalk.com/2face-really-coward-retreating-form-national-protests-10-epic-retreats-military-history-that-led-to-victories/

Last week, Nigerian musical legend, Innocent Ujah Idibia retreated from the nationwide protest which he has been touting for weeks. He cited security and public safety concerns, and there were rumours that he was allegedly assaulted by the DSS. This made many Nigerians to tag him a coward.

Even celebrities like Gordons, Falz, et cetera used that opportunity to spite and throw subtle jabs at the successful and legendary star.
Not just Nigerians, many people view retreating as such a bad thing. In the military, most retreats are a sign of failure, as armies pull back from the objectives they seek to take or are driven from their territory by invaders.

But can a retreat ever be considered a success?
Yes, retreats can actually be good and strategic; yes, retreats can lead to success.

There are tactical retreats, that is deliberate schemes to weaken or deceive an approaching enemy. By extracting themselves from hopeless situations, many generals have saved their armies from destruction and lived to fight another day. Some even turned a tactical withdrawal into a partial victory.

Below are some of the most memorable retreats in history.

(1) The Allied evacuation of Gallipoli (1915)
In April 1915, British, French, Australian and New Zealand forces launched an amphibious invasion of the Ottoman Empire via the Gallipoli Peninsula. Their landings were met with fierce resistance from Gallipoli’s Turkish defenders, and most of the Allied troops were unable to advance more than a few hundred yards past their beachheads. The campaign soon settled into a trench warfare stalemate. By the time the Allies finally began an evacuation in December 1915, they had suffered over 200,000 casualties.
The Gallipoli invasion had been one of World War I’s great blunders, but the retreat was a stroke of genius. As part of a multi-phase operation, troops were quietly ferried off the beaches right under the Turks’ noses. Extra tents and cooking fires were used to give the impression of larger numbers, and empty equipment boxes were left on the beach to convince the enemy that nothing had been removed. Near the end of the evacuation, some soldiers even covered their getaway with so-called “drip guns”—phantom rifles rigged with strings and water weights to make them fire automatically. The subterfuge worked to perfection.
Despite early predictions that a retreat would cost them half their troops, the Allies escaped Gallipoli with only a handful of casualties.

(2) Pliska (811)
The Khan Krum was perhaps the greatest challenge facing Byzantine Emperor Nicephorus I. Having brought together many of the Bulgar tribes, Krum had launched raids into Byzantine territory, carrying off great masses of wealth. He was celebrated by his men and reviled by the Byzantines.
When Nicephorus gathered an army of 70,000 soldiers, Krum knew that he could not stand against him. He had nowhere near as many men, and the strength of those he had did not lie in pitched battles, a form of combat which would favour the Byzantine heavy cavalry.
So Krum retreated, surrendering his capital of Pliska, gathering more troops as he retreated north into the hills. Luring the Byzantines after him, he trapped them in a steep-sided valley. Retreat turned into an ambush, and he smashed the Byzantines, killing Nicephorus and driving his army out of Bulgar lands.

(3) George Washington’s escape from New York (1776)
Less than two months after the July 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence, General George Washington’s Continental Army was in a fight for its life. The Patriots had failed to check a British amphibious attack on Long Island, and following a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Brooklyn, some 9,000 Americans were pinned against the East River.
While British General Sir William Howe settled in for a siege, Washington ordered hismen to round up all the flat-bottomed boats they could find. As drenching rains fell on the night of August 29, he used his hastily assembled flotilla to silently ferry unit after unit across the river to the safety of Manhattan. The regiment of Massachusetts fishermen that manned the boats used rags to muffle the sound of their oars, and campfires were left burning to deceive the British.
Many Continentals had still yet to be evacuated from Brooklyn by sunrise, but luckily for Washington, a dense fog rolled in and masked the final stages of the withdrawal. By the time the British finally realized what was happening, all 9,000 colonists had slipped away along with most of their equipment and artillery.
“In the history of warfare I do not recollect a more fortunate retreat,” Continental officer Benjamin Tallmadge later wrote.

( The U.N. retreat from Chosin Reservoir (1950)
“Retreat, hell! We’re not retreating, we’re just advancing in a different direction.”
That was how Major General Oliver P. Smith supposedly described the Korean War’s Battle of Chosin Reservoir, where a United Nations detachment made a 78-mile fighting withdrawal along a muddy mountain corridor. The force of U.S. Marines, Army troops and British Royal Marines had been ambushed and surrounded in late-November 1950 by a much larger Chinese army. Led by Smith’s 1st Marine Division, the allies broke out of the enemy encirclement and began a two-week trek to the seaport of Hungnam. Along with enduring arctic conditions—temperatures dropped to 34 degrees below zero—they also battled the Chinese at places like Hell Fire Valley and Funchilin Pass, where combat engineers famously assembled an airdropped bridge after the original one was destroyed. The veterans of the “frozen Chosin” later reached the evacuation point at Hungnam in mid-December. By then, the retreating U.N. army had suffered 17,000 casualties compared to a staggering 60,000 for the Chinese.

Thanks to the internet where there is a massive community of film fans who like nothing more than picking apart movies, pointing out the errors in the story that don’t quite sit right, and taking great pleasure from spotting continuity errors in the smallest details. And Chidey is a proud member of this community, lol.

For Christ sake how could an aeroplane be flying on the air in a movie like Troy? Lol. How could Gandalf be wearing a watch on a scene in Lord of the Rings?? Why are we seeing a crew member in a scene on Pirates of the Caribbean

Don’t get it twisted, I ain’t saying these movies are bad cos of those errors, never that. But it’s another way of Chidey telling you that everybody makes mistakes. And yes, Nigerians should stop thinking that it’s only Nollywood movies that are error-infested!

Oya sit back and enjoy the misfortunes of others…at least it’s better than you going through the pain of going through that your awful NECO result, lol

Spoiler alert: Titanic, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Troy, Terminator 2&3, Django Unchained, Spiderman, etc are all here.

*Switches off this Pino Pino video*
Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike’s rise to limelight and prominence in the Nigerian music scene was so rapid that it even looked scary. He released his first official single “Multiply” (which had heavyweights like Flavour, M.I, Timaya and Mr Raw in the remix) back in 2011, then Shutdown (which got a Headies Lyricist on the Roll nomination), then in 2012 came Ghost Mode! The rest as we all know is now history.
From that 2012 (together with his pal, Olamide), he shook Nigerian hiphop like never before, he produced hits on hits on hits, he gave many upcoming acts the reason to believe and he made everyone believe that indeed “local can pay”. With his Mohawk, funny style of dressing, dope lyrics, street cred and generally Hus eccentric self, he stole the heart of every one — young & old, rich and poor, boys and girls, man and animals.
Oya, fast forward to 2016 and that Phyno seems changed, different and long gone. He now sings, cuddle girls on music videos, tries to dance (he’s awful at it you know, lol) and…seemingly hates rapping. That’s the “new” Phyno.
I’m not saying it’s a crime to do all that, neither am I saying that it is a malfeasance for a rapper to be singing (after all “Connect” and “Fada Fada” are chart toppers) but that’s just how much our dear Phyno has changed. Got me thinking if he’s joined APC recently, lol.
But do we miss him? Oh yes, very. So here’s 11 things we miss about Phyno nowadays, 11 reasons why you should miss the “old” Phyno.


1. No one rocks them Mohawk better
Awww…those mohawks.
Apart from his amazing rap talent, one of the things that endeared Phyno to us was that Mohawk. The thing was huge, big and curvy in very foxy way. It wasn’t his naturally hair, obviously.
It’s not like Phyno have always had the Mohawk hairstyle, nope. It all started in the Illbliss’ “Anamachikwanu” video shoot. The director, Clarence Peters, told him to wear the Mohawk look so that he will look more gangster-ish, rugged-ish and befitting for his persona in the video. He adopted the hairstyle, the video clicked and he stuck with it. In fact, that Mohawk was one of the things that gave Phyno his distinct identity bin the industry that made him charm everyone. Show me, just show me one person that didn’t love it then? No one.
Oya fast forward to 2016 and them Mohawk is no more. Gone. Is it gone forever? Me can’t tell o. But do we miss them Mohawk? Oh yes we do.

The summer transfer window is one of the exciting moments for football fans; and this year, the English Premier League wasn’t lacking in exciting moments too, as many EPL teams did they part in bringing in footballers that will better their clubs.

But some clubs had the best deals as they bought wonderful players that will help to improve the teams. These players are players who their services are needed in the team; you know, players that will suit positions that need to be reinforced, players that will bring the fear factor to the clubs, players that will devastate their opponents and most especially players that will use their talents and gifts and take the club higher in the table.

So, all things being equal, these guys, for me, are my best deals of these year’s summer transfer window.

(In no particular order)


1. Georginio Wijnaldum (From Newcastle United to Liverpool, £25 million)

When I logged on to goal.com back in July 22 and saw this transfer, I was like, “Liverpool can have brain o”.

For a relatively small £25 million, methinks that Liverpool hit the jackpot in this signing.
Wijnaldum is a crazily talented midfielder who I’ve followed way back in his days at PSV Eindhoven. He is technically gifted and is also good in distributing passes and making the midfield tick.

And another interesting part is his goalscoring prowess. Last season, this guy scored a whooping 11 goals, from the midfield, for a mediocre team like Newcastle. I can’t forget his four-goal haul against Norwich City.

And Chidey says… Liverpool won’t regret this buy (All things being equal including no injuries)


2. N’golo Kante (From Leicester City to Chelsea, £30 million)

For me, this is unarguably the best buy of the transfer as far as the English Premier League is concerned. This is the perfect case of buying someone that will reinforce an ailing position in a team.

You know, Antonio Conte is now the man at the helm of affairs at Chelsea and he knows, just like every other person that the Chelsea team need a lot of upgrading, a lot of work. Everybody expected him to change the formation, maybe bring his Juventus 3-5-2 formation. And as expected, he has reverted to a new formation, the 4-1-4-1 formation. And the N’golo boy is the pivot, he is literally the “one” in the team.

His immense contributions in Leicester are already being missed, you can see for yourself in their first three matches of the season. Man can cover the ground as if he’s got an engine in there in his belly. Even his former teammate Drinkwater once said that with Kante in the team, its like there are 12 players in the team instead of 11. Marking, check! Passing, check! Tackling, check! Interception, check! Shooting from long range, check! All hail the birth of a better Claude Makelele in the premier league!
And his performances so far have been very very encouraging.

With an over 80% rate in interception and tackling for Leicester City last season, you can bet your house rent Kante will help Chelsea come back on uppermost parts of the league table where they rightly belong.


3. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (From Paris St Germain to Manchester United, free transfer)

The god himself!

Apart from the fact that he has a character that I like, Zlatan is an exceptionally gifted player. You already know about that part.
Zlatan is the kinda guy that will develop any team, even Derby County. And with the qualities he has to offer, he is a good buy for Man Utd. If he’s not scoring, he’s bringing the fear factor to Man Utd. And yep, opposition defenders are gonn’ be scared of him. I’m sure of that.


4. Sadio Mane (Southampton to Liverpool, £32 million)

Liverpool has always been good customers to Southampton; Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, the list is endless. And now, Sadio Mane. And if you ask me, he’s exactly what Liverpool need now.

The Senegalese has an amazing burst of energy, pace, dribbling skills and all-round ball control.

Expect him to continue humiliating EPL defenders.


5. Moussa Sissoko (From Newcastle United to Tottenham, £30 million)

Sissoko is the kinda player that makes you think he must have been a bully back in secondary school. The guy is a bully in the pitch. Whether he is playing in the middle of the park or as a winger, expect ace performances…with bullying.

But not just the bullying, Sissoko is technically gifted and also a good dribbler with high pace and eye for goal.

Mauricio Pochettino sure has good eyes.


6. John Stones (From Everton to Manchester City, £47.5million)

Whenever you watch this guy play, you’ll be like, “is this a defender or a midfielder?”

Stones is the quintessential defender for a coach that likes everybody, even the goalie, using their feet to play the ball, a coach that expects everybody in his team to have good footwork.

Stones have an amazing footwork quality, dribbling ability and still retains the core tenets of the defensive business.

Forget last season and Euro 2016, Stones is the defender for the future and Manchester City made one of the best decisions by buying him.


7. Andre Ayew (From Swansea City to Westham United, £20.5 million)


Westham United’s record signing. Andre Ayew is a brilliant signing for Westham.

Westham United has become a very ambitious club lately and their performance last season is a testament to that and The Ghanian has all the qualities to even take Westham higher. His predatory instincts and all-round attacking qualities are more than just amazing. All things being equal, this will go down as one of the best signings in Westham United’s history.


8. Victor Wanyama (From Southampton to Tottenham Hotspurs, £11 million)

Another midfield maestro going to Tottenham, I’ve always told people that Pochettino is a big devil, big one.

Wanyama is the kinda guy that can improve any team. His ballet dancing in midfield reminds me of the great ballet-dancing midfielder, Thiago Alcantara!

Every EPL fan would have loved to have this guy in his or her team but it’s Tottenham that has the last laugh.


9. Ashley Williams (From Swansea City to Everton, £9 million)

At a meagre £9 million, this is like the shrewdest EPL transfer this summer.

Everton had a very awful season, hence the coming of Ronald Koeman to revitalize the team. And like Koeman said, Williams is the type of ‘strong’ defender Everton need.

Ronald Koeman now wants to tap into that experience, his strength, power and presence as he looks to rebuild Everton’s defence. Good on the ball, Williams is comfortable at bringing it out of defence and has even played in midfield for Wales. Plus, his injury record is hugely impressive and since Swansea’s promotion into the Premier League in 2011, he’s missed only a handful of games.

Time to teach Everton defence a thing or two.


10. Paul Pogba (From Juventus to Manchester United, £89 million)

This list would not be complete without this, otherwise, Manchester United fans will eat me alive, lol.

Even though the £89 million Manchester United splashed on Paul is a very huge sum, I think Manchester United will not regret signing him (all things being equal, anyway)

Paul is multi-talented lad with an awesome array of qualities in the midfield. He can shoot, he can run, he can bully, he can pass and he can plaaaaay good football.

Even though he’s the type that likes showing off, he will do well as the holding midfielder in the seemingly new Manchester United.


Notable mentions
1. Claudio Bravo (From Barcelona to Manchester City)
2. Islam Slimani (From Sporting Lisbon to Leicester City)
3. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (From Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United)
4. Granit Xhaka (From Borussia Monchengladbach to Arsenal)

This interesting post is from http://nolongtalk.com/12-songs-permit-cheating-relationships/


If I’ve learnt anything from the music business (and I probably haven’t, lol), it is that the music business is maligned with a lot of vices like $ex, alcohol, drugs, money, ostentatious lifestyle, decadence, etc.

And these are mainly all the musicians sing about.

Well, okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. After all, there are countless songs about real love, positive realities, politics, morality, and even the heartbreak that stems from finding out you’ve been cheated on. It’s the kind of raw, visceral pain that even million dollar recording contracts and worldwide fame don’t help you get over. (If Adele and Beyonce are affected by it, none of us have a chance.)

Still, for every plaintive cautionary tale about the agony that’s triggered by a passionate love affair, there’s another song that responds to those sorrowful cries with “Chill out, it’s just some side action. Gotta get mine!”

So it would seem that musicians are pretty well split in answering the basic question, “Should you cheat?” In fact, you’ll probably be surprised at the number of otherwise upstanding people whose final word on the matter is, simply, “Fu©k yeah, you should!”


#1. TLC – “Creep”
I was a very little boy when my dad bought me the CD of TLC’s “Crazy$exyCool” album, and “Creep” was one of my most favourite songs on the album.
Listen to this:

Verse 1
The 22nd of loneliness and we’ve
Been through so many thangs
I love my man with all honesty
But I know he’s cheatin’ on me
I look him in his eyes
But all he tells me is lies to keep me near
I’ll never leave him down, though I might mess around it’s only
‘Cause I need some affection oh

[Chorus]
So I creep yeah
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed 2 know
So I creep yeah
‘Cause he doesn’t know
What I do and no attention
Goes to show oh so I creep…


There are many ways to apply the knowledge that your significant other is cheating on you. You can let it motivate you to move on and find a better person, you can warn all of your friends (and all of your friends’ friends) that this person is a horrible piece of garbage and not to be trusted, or, if you choose to take TLC’s advice, you can get revenge…by cheating on them right back.

Because then you’re even. It’s a simple bit of reasoning, but one that might not be the most opportunistic when it comes to emotional growth.

Now, to be fair, not every member of TLC thinks this is a great idea. Ironically, it’s Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes (God rest her soul) that doesn’t believe in the “eye for an eye” tactic the song describes. She was supposedly against the release of “Creep” as a single because she didn’t want to condone the idea of revenge $ex. (Burning down your boyfriend’s house because he didn’t buy you any new sneakers, on the other hand…totally fine.) No be girls again? Lol.


#2. John Legend – “She Don’t Have To Know”
John Legend wrote a song about cheating on his partner? JOHN LEGEND? It’s a lie joor…John Legend as in the sensitive crooner behind such hits as “All Of Me” and “You & I” John Legend?? Oh dear.

“Girl I know you’re doing the same thing too
But I won’t tell your man the things we do, oh no
‘Cause he don’t have to know…”


Not only does Legend get all soulful about the idea of getting some strange action, but he uses the same backwards logic that so many other adulterers on this list go with in this situation: Two wrongs absolutely make a right. A hot, steamy, passionate right. There’s no need to feel bad about cheating on my girlfriend, because you’re also cheating on your boyfriend. It’s all good!
For much of this slinky little number, our dear Legend insists that he doesn’t want to hurt the one he’s currently in a relationship with. He does everything he can do avoid that…aside from actually stopping the affair (funny, huh?) He feels sorry about it, apparently, but not sorry enough to look her in the eye and tell her what a complete fu¢k face he’s being behind her back.

And so, he’s just going to keep getting it on the side, because it feels good. And isn’t that the most important thing? So go feel good, dirtbags. Go feel good. Mtchewww, dogs! Lol.


#3. Good Time by Kiss Daniel
With “Good Time”, Kiss Daniel proved to Nigerian fans (and Chidey in particular) that he is not a one-hit wonder (or two-hit wonder if you’d add “Laye”); “Good Time” is one song I can’t get enough of.
But what is “Good Time” really all about??

Pre-Hook
“Hope I don’t kolobi you eh
Iyawo mi gan be ni le o eh
Had such a long day
Iyawo mi gan be ni le o eh
Just wanna have a good time”


For the sake of non-Yoruba speakers, I’ll translate. ” Iyawo mi gan be ni le o eh” loosely means “I have a woman at home”. So you get the gist, now?? You have a woman at home and you still wanna “have a good time” with another woman??
Clever, indeed.

As if that’s not enough, he continues:
“Tell me how e dey go
Up in the VIP booty on me
All I see is smoke
More bottles on me
Anything we do tonight go follow the night go
And I see u I dodge”

Is it not obvious already?? Lwkmdh.
Please anytime you hear your spouse sing this song, just report him to the nearest police station. He is cheating!


#4. Shaggy – “It Wasn’t Me”
This one is too common and obvious nah…like the anthem for all cheaters in the planet and beyond.

“To be a true player you have to know how to play
If she say a night, convince her say a day
Never admit to a word when she say
And if she claims and you tell her baby no way…”

Boy, that Shaggy…he’s a real piece of sh|t, ain’t he? Seriously, there may never be a more detestable, cartoonish example of someone who not only endorses adultery, but also suggests lying about it and trying to make the person you cheated on feel bad about it. Just…just all kinds of awful happening in this song.

But you knew that, right? I mean, this one’s a pretty obvious inclusion. I’m probably not telling you anything you didn’t already know about Shaggy and his horribleness as a human being, lol.

What you may not realize is that the other guy in the song that’s describing his unfaithfulness, Rikrok, actually comes to his goddamn senses by the end of the song and straight up tells Shaggy that he’s an illogical, idiot douche. In so many words…

“I’ve been listening to your reason It makes no sense at all
We should tell her that I’m sorry
For the pain that I’ve caused”


So at least somebody’s on the side of rationality and non-d|ckheadedness.

This wonderful post is from http://nolongtalk.com/21-awesome-things-living-alone/

Personally, I have an awesome roommate, but it’s not like I don’t know what it meansbto live alone. I lived alone as a JAMBITE whenever my parents travel. When I was an undergraduate, I usually stay back for my I.T and other parolz during holidays, and this means that for months, I have not just my room, but the whole lodge to myself!
It has its downsides sha, but here are some of the highs, 21 of ’em.


1. You can leave the toilet lid down or up.
You alone, the world is yours so it’s your toilet. You leave it how you want, after all, no roommate to be displeased.
Now, you have the convenience of putting that convenience lid down only when you need to!


2. You can leave the bed unmade or made
In other words, the bed doesn’t stay the way it wants but the way you want it, inaamin??
Your bed can stay unmade for days, even weeks. You can even decide to sleep on the bare mattress, lol.
Bring single can’t be more fun.


3. Being Nak€d!
At least for once in your life, clothing ain’t essential. Shout goes to our great ancestor Adam and his illegitimate wife, Eve (yeah, its illegitimate naw, was there any wine-carrying ceremony, bride price or even common to put a ring to it? Lol)
As a home aloner, once you through the door, clothing becomes 100% optional!
Nud|ty can be fun, jare. Lol.
But avoid the windows sha.


4. You can spend as much time as you want in your bathroom
Hell yeah, the bathroom’s all yours.
No more waiting until the roommate gets out of the bathroom or dancing shoki on one foot trying to patiently wait to pee. The bathroom is ever-ready for you. No fears, it’s all yours and yours alone.
Just endeavour to keep it clean sha.


5. Playing music loudly
Turn up the music, pal.
You know that feeling, ba? No deeper life roomie that feels you disturbing him with your “worldly” music. No acada roommate to disturb his studying. No nobody. Just you and your musician self.
Go ahead and turn the whole house into a music studio.


6. Sharing your bed? No!
My bed is my bed. I can dance around in my sleep. I can sleep anyhow. I can snore. And oh yeah, I can enjoy the warmth of the whole bed since it is just my body and nobody else’s.


7. Girlfriend or boyfriend moving in?
You never have to worry about asking your roommate if it’s OK for someone to come over. That awkward moment is epic.
And coming to you, babes gaz dey come from time to time. The only excuse you might have for not wanting someone to come over is the condition of the place. You may not be the world’s best housekeeper, so you find yourself querying your babe, stuffs like “Hope you don’t mind the mess?”
What were you even thinking? Are you expecting her to wade through the mess to the bedroom?
You dirty pig! Lol.


8. You can pick your nose or give out a loud and “musical” fart whenever you want.
Of course you all alone.
Give out a fart (tozaaa! Gbishhh! Sssssssss!) when you want, savour the smell if you will, you the boss.
Just need a quiet moment to blow them nose (or pick it)? Go ahead. After all, you live alone and no one’s there to bother you about it.


Hello, you can read the rest of the post at http://nolongtalk.com/21-awesome-things-living-alone/

So (In Omo Alhaji’s voice)who are you, babe? And guy, who the hell are you dating? A woman or a teeny weeny girl Let’s see.


1. A girl sees the world as an overly competitive ground. A woman sees the world as a place where everybody can succeed together.
Now, get the point. Somehow the world is really competitive, to succeed in life, you must have a little spirit of healthy competition. But we talking about excess, seeing every damn thing as a thing for competition.
A girl competes and is ready to tear and bring down another in order to succeed, secure resources, achieve set goals or even to “hook” a man.
But in the other leg hand, a woman helps other women. She knows that the sky is wide enough to accommodate all the birds in the sky, she knows that there’s plenty enough to go round for everyone. She is competitive but not the point of doing evil or seeing everything as a tug of war. She believes that life must be taken jeje.


2. A girl goes out and get wasted. A woman drinks alcohol responsibly cos she knows her drinking limit and she remains in control of herself
If you club, you’d be used to the sight of girls dancing like fools, showing their t|tties and doing all sort of stupid things.
You know why?
Yes, you do. Mr Alcohol!
Girls always want to chug down “free” booze in order to get hammered (inamiiin??). Yeah, it allows them to make poor, stupid and regrettable decisions.
But not a woman.
No be say a woman no dey shayo, but they do it with style and elegance. This is because they know their limits and never drink to the point of losing control.
A women is always stay in control and in charge, even when she drinks.



3. A girl wants to look $exy by all means so she resorts to wearing revealing dresses. But a woman looks $exy no matter what she wears.
Don’t get me wrong, being $exy is not such a bad thing. Hell yeah, Chidey likes his woman $exy too, lol. But when is a woman said to be $exy
For a girl, her physical beauty and “endowments” is her only yardstick for measuring “$exiness”. She sees it as her only true value and she uses it as the most primary tool to get all her life needs.
But a woman, knows her worth is beyond just her physicality. She mustn’t have her everything hanging out in order to feel $exually appealing. She believes more in her intelligence, her integrity, her values, her contributions, her humanity. In fact she knows she is $exy because she is $exy.
A girl does not respect her body. She has not yet understood that her body and heart are sacred, and that it’s important to be mindful of how she treats it and who she shares it with. “A girl cherishes handbags, diamonds and her shoe collection as her prize possessions. A woman cherishes her health, her sense of self, and her talents as her greatest assets.” – N. Mah

A woman is a queen, an empress, a goddess. A girl is buffoon.
— Chidey (2016)


4. A girl wants attention. But a woman wants respect.
Need I say more?
A woman commands respect through her actions, inactions and responsibilities. Even kings and mighty people tremble at her feet.
But a girl? She’s a baby and likes being so. She wants this and want that. She forces you to observe her. She is disturbed by what people say about her, her dressing and her bum! And oh yeah, she will do everything to have the attention of men (and women as the case may be) on her body.


5. Girls expect their “magician” men to know how they feel and what they’re thinking. Women use their words to communicate.
Ladies oh ladies. Please I have to speak Igbo to this? UMU NWOKE ADIGHI AMA IHE UNU BU N’OBI. MEN CANNOT READ MINDS!!! At least, not every man. Chidey can’t, Charley can’t, Mandela can’t, Emeka Nwogbunyama can’t, even my roommate can’t. It’s that bad. We wish that we could, it would make things a whole lot easier, but unfortunately we can’t.
Girls believe that their men should understand them so well that they simply know what they are thinking, how they are feeling and what they are “hinting” at.
Unfortunately, most men are not well-versed in picking up such signals. This is the point at which girls get frustrated and b|tchy.
But women accept their counterparts’ shortcomings and speak their minds instead.
Hats off.


6. A girl calls it domestic “duties”, a woman calls it domestic “responsibilities”
A girl doesn’t want to be bothered with anything domestic; as a matter of fact, she is proud of the fact that she cannot cook or clean.
Not a woman. A woman understands that being domestic is not a duty, but understands that it is one way of taking care of herself and others. She also understands that in the event she wants to create a family, having a person in the household who can contribute domestically is important. And she is ever ready to be that person.


7. Girls expect you to foot the bill all the time. Women are financially independent and they show it.
I don’t know, but girls don’t like whipping out their wallets. Even if someone is dying, they always want us to believe she has nada, after all, she still has to buy that latest designer shoes, $exy thongs, to-die-for handbags, iPhone 25, et cetera.
A woman, on the other hand, although confident enough to allow her man to pay for her, sometimes also makes a point to cover the bill herself from time to time – for both of them!
A woman likes to remind her man that she only keeps him around because he respects her and treats her well, and that she doesn’t need his cash.
This is exactly the person Neyo sang about.


8. Girls can’t wait to update their Facebook status to “In a relationship.” Women forget they have a Facebook account.
Ife umuazi.
But girls will be girls.
Immediately a man screws her and gives her some stupid hope of a relationship, she rushes to Facebook and other social and public platforms to make the public service announcement.
Women are just too busy with real life to bother updating their Facebook statuses. They will probably do it eventually when and if need be. But don’t expect them to go running to Facebook to update their status just to freak their man out and make fellow ladies jealous.
Time no dey, gyal.

You see this world eh, it can be very very somehow. Very very unpredictable.

Sometimes, it is that babe that you ignored that might be your saving grace tomorrow. Sometimes, it is that chapter you didn’t read before an exam that the lecturer will get the compulsory first question from.
Sometimes too, it is that invention or discovery that you ignored before it has realised its full potential that may be your saviour day after tomorrow.

My advice? Deride the latest fad with caution, because it might just blossom into a beautiful young woman and/or change the way we all live our daily lives.
So if you are a predictor (my niggz at Merrybet & Naijabet can tell you such a risky business prediction is), be careful cos those odds can be deceiving, at times. And you know what that means, you may end up looking like an idiot.

The lesson we can all hopefully take from history, is that we have achieved a lot more as a species by saying that things can be done, rather than dismissing the impossible before it has had the time to change the world.

Now do like Taylor Swift, shake of the unbelief and read these baldfaced examples that will wow you…

1. The Telephone
“The Americans have need of the telephone, but we do not. We have plenty of messenger boys,”
***Sir William Preece, Chief Engineer of the British Post Office, 1874.

Oh, and this too…

“What use could this company make of an electrical toy?”
***William Orton, Western Union president, in response to an offer to buy Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone company for $100,000

Others thought the technology was not only worthless but impossible.
“Well informed people know it is impossible to transmit the voice over wires and that were it possible to do so, the thing would be of no practical value.”
***The Boston Post, 1865.

Hahahahaha, someone better go to the grave and tell these 19th century guys that this is the second decade of the 21st and they are seriously MIA as at least 75% of the world’s population have access to a mobile phone, let alone a landline. That’s 5,250,000,000 impossible voices transmitted over impossible wires.
Impossibility ko.


2. Television
“Television won’t last because people will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.”
***Darryl Zanuck, movie producer, 20th Century Fox, 1946

Walahi, Darryl Zanuck never see Game of Thrones or Empire.

A common trend in the dismissal of important new inventions, is that the person doing the dismissing is often part of a rival industry. Sir William Preece did it with the telephone, Chaplin did it with cinema, and then Zanuck, who was involved in the movie business, did it with television. The lesson here is to underestimate your enemy at your peril.

“Television won’t last. It’s a flash in the pan.”
***Mary Somerville, pioneer of radio educational broadcasts, 1948.

This flash in the pan has resulted in a world in which 99% of British households own at least one television, and the average person in the West will spend a total of 9 years of their life “staring at a plywood box”. Is there any Nigerian household without a TV?? Maybe only my grandmother’s house in the village.

4. Online Shopping
Well, to be candid, I, too, was pessimistic about online shopping. At first, I didn’t believe in Konga and Jumia them, saw them as scams (paranoia gonn’ kill me one day, lol). But it wasn’t only me, even Time Magazine.

“Remote shopping, while entirely feasible, will flop – because women like to get out of the house, like to handle merchandise, like to be able to change their minds.”
***TIME Magazine, 1966.

Maybe TIME weren’t really talking about online shopping at the time (as there was no line to be on on the first place then), but they did dramatically underestimate people’s desire to do as little as possible as often as they can, and this extends to getting someone else to do the legwork for you in your shopping.

Not only did they miss the mark with the potential success of online shopping, with online retail sales predicted to break $370 billion in 2017, but also pretty much all other aspects of their assertions.

Now, it’s no longer news that the Nigerian music industry is on a rapid development. Foreign collaborations, capital intensive projects, over-the-top PR/publicity, cultural impact, social influence, quality productions and…music videos.

Gone are the days when artistes rarely shoot music videos because of fund or personnel issues. Now, the money boku plus we have high tech dudes to handle the motion picture part. Aje Film works, Unlimited LA, Mex, Clarence Peters, Sesan, Moe Musa, Adasa Cookey, Patrick Elis, the list is endless…

Hence, nowadays, every hit song (even those wey no hit sef) now have their music video equivalent.

But there are some songs that we love so so much and would have relished the opportunity to see their videos, but because of some reasons best known to the artistes and their team, we never saw no videos. And who knows, maybe the videos could have taken these songs to greater heights.

And I hope they somehow get to read this post and surprise us with unexpected videos of these songs, lol.

But for the meantime, here are 20 we can only but wish for…

1. Joy by Wizkid
You know, Many Nigerian fans have divided the scene into two, one for Wizkid, one for Davido. Crazy.
And 2014 was in my guy’s words “Davido’s year”. And trust Naija fans, they can be impatient and easily forgetful, “this Wizkid is wack, sings sh|t, blah blah blah…”
And that was when Wizkid dropped Joy.
Sampled like Bob Marley’s “No Woman No Cry”, the song is 100 in all ramifications. Wiz surprised lot of peeps, even OBO himself tweeted in salutation for the song calling Wiz a “legend”. Not only him, many other bigwigs in the entertainment industry.
So, it’s commonsense to anticipate the official video. But Wiz had other plans.
Long story short, Wiz released no official video for “Joy”. It was only that Tim Westwood video, but there was no official visuals. How we would love a video. It would give us joy too, nothing but joy.


2. Scapegoat by D’banj
My big bro will be like “when D’banj was D’banj” (as if D’banj don turn to Vic O abi Mr Ibu, lol).
Song was a hit (a classic, for me). But the koko master for reasons best known to him and the gods decided not to release an official music for our beloved “Scapegoat”.
He only gave it one kind remix like that…featuring Kanye.


3. Good Die Young by Phyno
No matter what Phyno raps (or sings) again, he will NEVER do a song that will touch my soul like Good Die Young”. The lyrics, production and everything is perfect as Phyno raps about his dead loved ones on a Marvin Gaye-sampled track.

As a matter of fact, this is unarguably my most favourite Phyno song. Thank God I understand Igbo.

Such an emotional outing, you would naturally expect a video, but Phyno thought otherwise. Since 2014 till date, no video yet. With a good montage and storyline showing those dead pals, the video would have topped charts and help publicize the song more.

(In Akpos’ voice) And he had time to shoot videos for O Set and even those stupid Yayo & Nme Nme videos (Clarence can be wicked sha, lol).


4. Omo Tosan by 2face
Who is that person that his heart won’t melt when he hears this song? Show me. Baba killed it on this one, walahi.
Was one of the ace tracks in 2face’s Away & Beyond album (2012).
But one question abounds. Why didn’t 2baba shoot a video for this song?


5. Share My Blessings by Naeto C ft Asa
“All white kaftan like the stripes on a Tom Tom…”
The opening lines of that power collabo, arguably the most lyrical song by Naeto. Naeto killed it, Asa buried it. And we loooooove it.
But why was there no video?


6. To Be A Man by Flavour
You know, with all the celebrations, public holidays and songs dedicated to women, someone had to do something (at least for once) for we dem men, who else but the quintessential brother, Mr Flavour.
Back then, anywhere you enter, be it kiosk, tailor shop, shoemaker, even among Yahoo boys, it was an anthem for all male hustlers.
I, personally, expected and anticipated this video like heaven. A good job by Clarence or Godfather would have been fantastic.
Too bad.


7. Going To Heaven by Olamide
One of my most fave Baddo’s song. Brother went deep and touched the heart of many brothers. You need to listen to that ending part where he was calling the names of the departed brothers, quite emotional.
Brothers in the hood expected a video like our life depended on it.

The 21st century brought with it an unprecedented growth for the music industry in Nigeria. Hence, this century has seen a plethora of albums. Good albums. Bad albums. Even ugly albums. We’ve seen it all.
But what I can’t really tell you is whether our 21st century albums are better than that of yesteryears. An argument for another day.

And the criteria I used for choosing these albums are commercial appeal, hit tracks in the albums, lyrical content, quality production, awards/nominations and most especially cultural impact (albums that left certain legacy with classic and evergreen tracks).
So, no long talk, here are the best 20 Naija albums of the 21st century.

NB: This list is 100% arguable, but even at that, it is still a 100% credible and objective one due to the fact that the writer went into in-depth research, using the criteria listed above as benchmark.
So which artistes made this elite list?

(In no particular order)

1. Superstar by Wizkid (2011)

Many people always say that Wizkid came into the music scene and blew up immediately. But that’s not very true, niqqa has been underground hustling for years.

And with Superstar, he blew up like jazz. Don’t Dull, Oluwa Lo Ni, Holla At Your Boy, Tease Me, Pakurumo, Wiz Party, Scatter The Floor, Say My Name…every single track was a hit, like back to back!

Samklef, E-Kelly, Jay Sleek, Shizzi, DJ Klem, Masterkraft, Q-Beats, Banky W and Vebee handled the album’s superb production. The album features guest appearances from Wande Coal,
D’Prince, Banky W and Skales. And it cuts across various music genres like R&B (Gidi Love, Slow Whine, etc), afro pop (Don’t Dull, Tease Me, etc), dancehall, afro beat to mention but a few.

The album sold like sugarcane back in 2011 and oh yeah, Onitsha pirates did a wonderful job too, lol. According to Wikipedia, It is the second best selling album on NotJustOk, a website tagged as the “leader in Nigerian music online”. Moreover, it was the most highly anticipated Nigerian album of 2011.

Awards? Superstar received numerous accolades. The album lived up to its hype in the end as it garnered the Best Album of the Year award at the 2012 Nigeria Entertainment Awards. It was nominated for Album of the Year and Best R&B/Pop Album at The Headies 2012.

And talking about cultural impact, songs like Love My Baby, Holla At Your Boy, Don’t Dull, No Lele, et cetera are living classics and helped to revolutionize the Nigerian music scene.


2. Mushin 2 Mo Hits by Wande Coal (2009)

This one needs no intro. With this album, WC wrote his name with gold in the history books. Classic album.
Evergreen hits like Ololufe, Bumper 2 Bumper, You Bad, Taboo (my most favourite) and so on. Wande stole our hearts.

And did I forget to talk about the magic called Don Jazzy? I didn’t.


3. Grass to Grace by 2face (2006)

2face’s solo sophomore. Album sold over a million copies in its first week of release and won Baba numerous awards including the MOBO award in 2007.
Need I say more?

With everlasting hits like See me so, True love, My Love ft VIP, E Be Like Say, If love is a crime, For Instance, etc., 2face killed it. Not just a Nigerian classic, a worldwide classic.

Lyrical content? Nwanne hapu okwu.
