What is wrong with igbo people?

I am a typical Yoruba guy, though I might be joking on this platform about their tribe, but some igbo men are also good.

Apart from living with some of them in our family house then.

I also had an opportunity to live with one during my service in akwa ibom, the guy is wonderfully made, may be because we are both catholic, but truth be told, is not all igbo men that are bad.

Fayose was wrong to enact such laws in the first place. The fulanis have the right to live and work in ekiti just like every other Nigerian. Why ban their business of cattle rearing when they have no other means? Why criminalize the fulanis as if all fulanis are killers? There are bad eggs amongst every tribe, why do we make it look like violence is exclusive to northerners only. The people we should frown at are cattle rustlers who steals cattle from fulanis and use them as disguise for their evil deeds. The fulanis are peaceful people who go about their business in peace and we all know they control their herds of cattle with mere sticks. Even though we call them primitive, how many southerner can rear cattle for national consumption like the fulanis? Without them how do we see beef to consume? The rustlers are armed terrorist escaping from the north east to the south. What fayose should have done is to forbid any herdsmen from moving around with weapons, not banning cattle rearing completely. If all states cooperated with the FG on creation of grazing reserves throughout the country, there will not be a single cattle left on the streets looking for grass. Instead we chastised president Buhari's brilliant policy in the name of islamization. The ripple effects are the incessant attacks by the rustlers. The grazing bill remains the best and safest option. Not unnecessary bans

Ask your musical questions, guys, I'll provide tips, guidelines and exercises.

From time to time I'll drop in a few lessons.

Happy music making.

Truth is... The eastern elites, eastern elders, reasonable and well informed easterns would never agitate for Biafra because of their true understanding of its meaningless. Biafra is only being agitated by jobless, lazy and uninformed youths who have no idea what happened 45 years ago.

If truly the elites and elders in the east wants and supports it, they definitely know how to conspire to make it happen, but they understand better how It will be a self destruct mission for easterns hence why the real easterns would never want Biafra.

Only the touts and lazy jobless ones who knows not what they re talking about keeps disturbing the peace of a nation

I think you are actually the one who needs to think, research history and get facts right before you talk

sabiguy:


Young man, it'll be my pleasure to constructively address your grievances as stated in your analysis. By the way, what do you mean making myself alien? Can you please expantiate? Because the last time I checked, the real Nigerians are still fully in charge of the affairs of Nigeria. Since we embraced democracy, a southwestern South southerner, and of course northerners has been trusted with the privilege of the most powerful office in the nation and I can't recall that same office ever being entrusted so some sections who claims to be enemy or rebel to Nigeria. That's to tell you who and who is alien.

Having said that, as for the colony, yes it's totally apparent that most eastern lands don't welcome other tribes as they would be frustrated out of their land and it is also my honor to explain to you that the act of welcoming easterns to progress in other part of the country is a way of colonizing their mentality to be open minded and accept others in their land to ensure national development, hopefully someday they will be civilized enough to understand that analogy.

Did you say far doing better than me?? Now I just want to take that as a joke from you.

I hope I have been able to educate you on the importance of Nigeria to your so called imaginary and impossible country.

Loluores:




Aiit. To begin, you have to master the 2-5-1 progression. Specifically the minor 2-5-1, where the 1 is some kind of a minor chord. Examples would be:

7-3-6 (t m l)
3-6-2 (m l r)
#4-7-3 (fe t m)
Even 6-2-5 (l r s) which leads up to a 5-1-4 (s d f, a major 2-5-1 in this case) e.g. l r s d f.

In all these minor 2-5-1s, the 5s can be played with a tritone, or a tritone-based rootless voicing, on the left hand, and an upper structure on the right hand. The most popular chord here in gospel piano is by far, the altered 7th (specifically 7#9#5 chord), analysed below.

LH / RH

1. Tritone / Triad of the #5.
A. 3 b7 / #9 #5 1 (2nd inversion triad)
B. 3 b7 / #9 #5 1 #9' (2nd inversion, octave)
C. b7 3 / #5 1 #9 (root triad)

2. Extended tritone / Triad of the #5.
A. 3 b7 #9 / #5 1 #9
B. b7 3 #5 / #9 #5 1
C. b7 3 #5 / #9 #5 1 #9'

Note, 1B and 2A are the same, just different fingerings. The RH triads are specifically built on the #5 as the root. Notice there is no 1st inversion of any triad there, just the root and 2nd inversions. It's not wrong to play the 1st inversion, it's just not as sweet.

Another thing: the extended tritone LH voicings have 3 notes. A fourth note could be added at the second position from the bottom to complete the chord, as follows:

2A. 3 b7 #9 + #5 = 3 (#5) b7 #9
2B/2C. b7 3 #5 + #9 = b7 (#9) 3 #5


Now, on to examples of minor 2-5-1s, in solfa notation for ease of understanding. I highlighted the tritones in bold.

Bass / LH / RH

1. 7-3-6 (practise on keys Bb to E, as in Bb,B,C,C#,D,Eb,E)

t / l r f / l r f (m7b5)

m / se (d) r s / d m s (compare 2A above)

l / s t d m / t r (m11)

OR (practise on keys F to A)

t / re l / r f (another kind of tritone 7th chord, 7#9b5)

m / r se / d m s (1C above)

l / d m s t / r s t (m11)

2. #4 7 3 (play this song on keys F to A, melody in italics.)

f / d m s l / r m l (M9(13)) In

d Your

fe / m se r / m t pre-

fe / m t d / m l d (m7b5(add11)) -sence

t / re l / r s t r' (1B above) there

t is

m / r (fe) s t / r fe l (m11) lii-...

s -iife

(The #4 chord on the 'pre-' is actually a passing chord based on the Locrian #2 mode, if you understand the theory.)

3. 3-6-2 (keys F to A)

m / r fe s t / r fe l (m11)

l / de s / d f l (d') (1B above)

r / d m f l / d m s (m11)

OR

m / r fe s t / r fe l (m11)

l / de f s d/ f l d (2A above)

r / d m f l / d m s (m11)

(These 3-6-2 voicings are very, very common in gospel piano. Even the m11 chords have triads, in this case root triads, in their upper structure.)

OR (keys Bb to E)

m / s t r fe / l r fe l' (m11)

l / s (d) de f / d f l d' (2C above)

r / f l d m / m l m' (m11)

(Notice the octave RH upper structures, which give very good sounds.)

4. 6-2-5-1-4 on keys F to B

l / de s / d f l (1A above)

r / d fe / t m se t' (13#11)

s / ta r f l / d f l d' (m11)

d / ta r m l / r s l r' (13)

f / d m s l / r s d m' (M9(13))

(Note that the 2 chord is NOT a 7#9#5 really, but it has the same shape. I'll leave it for you to figure out the theory, but it's easy to understand if you see it as a tritone substitution, or if you recognise the relationship between the super-locrian and the lydian dominant as tritone subs. One hint: the bass could be b6 (se) instead of 2 (r)).

Okay, hope this lil' introduction goes a long way in clearing up tritones and their use. So, practise the examples and lemme know what you think.

Loluores:



Choi, such a wide question, where do I even start?! I will provide both theory and practice, with some balance, I hope.

Aiit, first of all, a tritone is an interval inside the basic dominant 7th chord (1 3 5 b7)... the distance between 3 and b7 (or b7 and 3, which is the same thing). The short answer to your question is, use the tritone wherever you use the dominant 7th. Most common places in a song you can use it, is in any form of 2-5-1 progression, major or minor (mostly at the 5, sometimes at the 2 or at the 1 position.)

The next thing you wanna then know is, how do you VOICE a 7th chord with your two hands? It is the VOICING that is key, that's what will make your playing sound cool. So I'll give it to you, here's the formula.

I'll first explain how to play it when you're playing solo (without a bassist), which will include playing the root note.

The left hand (LH) plays root (1) and 3, 1 and b7, or 1 and tritone, as follows:

1 3 (or 1 10 if you can stretch your LH that wide. Hint: stretching is the real secret to phatness ) e.g. C E

1 b7 e.g C Bb

1 and tritone:

1 3 b7 e.g. C E Bb

1 b7 10 e.g. C Bb E

These LH shapes are technically called shells (some people call them power chords, na dem sabi.) They are the foundation or skeleton of your chord voicing. Practise them on all 12 keys.

You can also play tritones without the root (e.g. with a bassist, or when playing LH strides.) You just play the two notes: 3 b7 or b7 3, and your RH plays other things. There is more to this though, talking about LH 'comp' chord voicings (called types A and B rootless voicings.) I'll talk about this later, with some pictures of my hand holding the notes.



Once you have all of this down, your RH is then free to complete the chord voicing in various ways, which I'll also explain in my next post (talking about upper structures and stuff).


Hope this helps a little... lemme get your feedback, cuz I'm not sure of how much to include in here, it's a vast topic. Depends on how much you already know or what specific area you want to know. It seems some people have posted on this in earlier posts also.

Loluores:
Interesting thread. Loluores in the house.


What kinds of problems do you have in your piano playing, learning, practising, and learning music in general?

Shoot me a reply, guys, lemme know how I can help.

Pls is it wrong to take holy communion today in church and have sex with a lady in the choir in the church bathroom? are there repercussions? since we are both adult and the deed was done after church service, should i be worried?

olapluto:
This is an incredibly biased reporting by AFP. Gamboru liberated by Chadian soldiers, with return orchestrated by Camerounian soldiers??
How convenient to completely ignore the Nigerian army in the report of liberation? And Vanguard news was sheepish to report it as typed by some french loonie.
These French poppies must think Nigerians are unintelligent.
Give honor to whom it is due. Kudos to the gallant Nigerian armed forces.

repogirl:
okay, so apply the brackets rightly for me.

repogirl:
yeah you are right, I checked it out online and I found out without the bracket, it isn't BODMAS.

Thank you my brother, you see there is one common tracts abt we the south south, we say the truth and let devil shame, we are not tribalistic bt the hausa's/northerners are making us to, jonathan is from the south south yes but he never manged this country well, this is bcause he worked more wit the igbos more than any part president, those pple are cursed, for you to succeed giv dem gap, because they are the highest betrayers, dnt be suprise abt it, i skulled in abia state, as for the yorubas dey all voted for jonathan 2011, jonathan never played his game well. He failed, d yorubas were fed up wit his govtment nd decided to test change. so dat wil nt mk me hate a yoruba because he refused to vote for ny broda, no as an ikwerre man i cnt, my brother (jonathan) bleeped up and he deserves it.. His a big disgrace to we the south south, he did not for us, bt rather filled the pockets of few niger deltans at the top..
