JoeEeL: Since Wizkid lost his mum last year, you can tell his passion dropped. And his mom was not that old.
After Davido lost his kid, his passion also dropped. But at least he seems to have partially recovered, and he always had other kids anyway. His wife has not recovered.
As for Burna, one of d very few nigerian singers that can do an int'l collabo and I wouldn't cringe about his lyrics or his delivery. Another is Patoranking. Tiwa Savage is one, Wizkid a little. Asa definitely. Omah Lay surely. Ruger, to a very good extent. Fave, Ayrra Star.
Singers with lyrics that make me cringe Kizz Daniel (melodious but nursery rhymes), Davido (energetic but lyrics too cringy most of the time e.g, "so mi so, I don nono... Energy like cocaine, creme de de la creme), Victony, Young Jonn (sings nonsense, man should stick to dj), Shallipopi (should not be mentioning this guy sef), Rema (babyish lyrics: "come here wetin dey worry you, I get money pass your papa uhhn'), Odumodu (does not piece his rap story properly), CKay (lyrically lazy dude), Kcee (You would think his lyrics would have matured considering his duration in this game)
Summary: Nigerian singers should do better with their lyrics abeg. I mean, it's not that difficult na. Worse comes to worse, open dictionary, learn history and cultures of other places and research idioms and witty expressions. Put efforts. Make person hear music make hin brain engage small. All these primary 1 lyrics don tire person ear abeg.
That is why I miss Cynthia morgan:

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he’s drawing up a “comprehensive plan” for how Kyiv believes the war with Russia should end.
“It is very important for us to show a plan to end the war that will be supported by the majority of the world,” the Ukrainian president said at a news conference in Kyiv alongside Slovenian President Natasa Pirc Musar on Friday.
This is the diplomatic route we are working on.
“This is the diplomatic route we are working on.”
There are no current negotiations between Ukraine and Russia and, based on public statements by Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the two sides appear as far apart as ever when it comes to the terms of a potential peace settlement.
Ukraine has repeatedly said Russia must pull its troops out of its internationally recognised territory – including the peninsula of Crimea that Moscow annexed in 2014 – before peace talks can start.
Meanwhile, Putin, who launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, is demanding Ukraine effectively capitulate by evacuating even more territory across its east and south that Russia now occupies.
Zelenskyy hosted a major international summit Switzerland earlier this month — and Russia was not invited — to rally support for Ukraine’s position
We don’t have too much time’
More than 90 countries sent leaders and senior officials to the two-day summit and a vast majority agreed to a final communique that stressed the need for Ukraine’s “territorial integrity” to be respected in any settlement.
But some key countries that attended, such as India, did not agree and others, such as Russia’s ally China, boycotted the summit in protest at Moscow not being invited.
Russia’s troops are slowly advancing on the battlefield, claiming to have seized another small front-line village on Friday.
Moscow currently occupies about 25 percent of Ukraine and in 2022 claimed to have annexed four more regions, none of which they fully control.
On Thursday, at an EU Council Summit in Brussels, Zelenskyy said he would put forward a “detailed plan” in a matter of months to end the war.
“[b]We don’t have too much time,” he said, [/b]pointing to the high casualty rate among soldiers and civilians.
An attacker who fired a crossbow and wounded a police officer guarding the Israeli embassy in Belgrade was shot and killed in what officials described as a “terrorist attack against Serbia“.
The officer was in a guardhouse and the attacker approached him several times asking for the location of a museum, Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said. He carried a bag from which, at one point, he pulled out the crossbow and shot the guard.
The police officer was hit in the neck with an arrow and fired several shots at the attacker, who later “died as a result of his injuries”. The identity of the assailant is still being determined.
“This is a terrorist attack against Serbia,” said Dacic. “We are still talking about possible motives.
He said one person was arrested near the scene of the shooting. Police are investigating a possible network and ties with “foreign terrorist groups”, he added.”
“There are indications that those are individuals already known to the security services,” Dacic said.
The policeman was conscious when he was transported to Belgrade’s main hospital and underwent an operation to remove the arrow from his neck. Hospital officials said he’s in stable condition after surgery.
Israel’s embassy is located not far from the United States embassy in an upscale Belgrade district. It is guarded by an elite police unit with officers armed with automatic weapons.
Serbia has maintained close relations with Israel during its war on Gaza. Israel-linked institutions around the world have been on high alert for attacks and protests since Israel launched its invasion in October.
In a statement, the Israeli foreign ministry said the embassy in Belgrade remains closed and no employees were injured. It added the “circumstances of the incident are being investigated”.
Act of insanity’
Serbia’s populist President Aleksandar Vucic visited the wounded officer in the hospital, promising a sweeping crackdown.
“We are hunting them down. We will have no mercy for terrorism in Serbia,” said Vucic.
Investigators in white forensic suits surrounded the body of the suspect on the street outside the building, which was swarmed with police vehicles.
Dacic said later several people believed to have been linked to the incident were arrested. “There are some indications they [those arrested] are already known to security services,” he said.
Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic strongly condemned what he labelled a “heinous terrorist act”.
I hereby declare a total war against name checking on Nairaland.
Anyone who draws attention to the tribe of a criminal on a thread about a crime will be banned. This applies regardless of whether they do it overtly or covertly. Every offender will collect a ban because this is regarded as a tribal insult.
Ebi pa n wa ooo😂😂😂
The minimum ban period is 14 days. If you have offended multiple times, it's 30 days. If you keep offending, you may be permanently banned.

Despite the belief that betting is all about luck, some people think it's possible to develop skills that will help you win. These skills might include understanding the odds, picking winners, and managing your bankroll. There is always a chance that you will lose money in gambling, no matter how skilled and/or lucky you are. So it is safe to say both luck and skills play a role in betting. What is the best approach to sports betting?
If you’re going to gamble on sports, it’s important to do so responsibly. That means setting a budget and sticking to it. It also means only betting on games that you understand. The more you understand about a sport, the better your chances of winning are.
In addition, when you’re looking for the best odds, different sportsbooks must offer them. Shifting your bets from one book to another can save money in what would have been an expensive bet if they had only given higher numbers!
Finally, the most essential thing to remember about gambling is that you can’t always win. No matter how much skill and/or luck there was in winning the previous hand, eventually, everyone will lose something at some point — it just happens! The best thing one could do would be to accept their losses gracefully without getting angry with themselves over what happened. If you approach sports gambling responsibly, you can expect to have a lot of fun. You might also win some money, but there will be times when you lose money. And that’s OK! The important thing is to enjoy the experience.
So, the next time you’re feeling down about a sports bet gone bad, remember that it isn’t your fault. You can only control how well you do your research and make smart bets. The outcome is out of your hands. Keep your head up and keep betting — eventually, luck will smile on you again.
Have you ever bet on sports? Tell us about your experience in the comments! And if you haven’t registered on ILOT BET now to start betting.
The programmer of ILOTBET deserved to be stoned. I've never seen a page/app that annoyingly clumsy. Gosh! Whoever runs ILOTBET should as a matter of desperate urgency do something about it
Humans are too selfish and greedy. Self over others is the reason Nigeria couldn't develop
Imagine the desperation of BAT?
Goes all the way to tell u that they really don't care about the masses rather their selfish interests only. Every enemy of this country be attacking Obi left, right and all corners.
Paid urchins busy spreading falsehood.
Light shall always prevail over darkness any day. Their end is nigh
RighteousDemon: If u wanna vote, promote or campaign for Tinubu or Atiku over Obi knowing how the later pair stole from u and ra.ped ur future blind, I have a question for u.
Who is ur father? What does he have? How is/did he living/lived?
How are u living currently? Are u alright? U think you're living the best outta life at the moment?
Were u paid to support any of the aforementioned duo? If yes how much? Are u being tribalistic? Voting tribes men?
Do u mean well for yourself and the future of ur kids if u plan to have any?
Was this country by far better than as it were today?
Chimaroke Nnamani proudly boasted he became governor of Enugu state at 38, does that age bracket fit into the affairs of today's Nigeria politics?
The Obasanjos, Buharis, Gowons et al held reasonable positions and made it in their twenties cos ur fathers(grand fathers, great grand fathers, great great grand fathers) allowed the youths to thrive knowing they form the foundation of any state.
A civilized France is being ruled by a youth.
Thus said, I'll make my declarations; Anybody vying, promoting, campaigning and otherwise for the old, outdated, looters of the economy and retrogressive duo of Tinubu and Atiku is an enemy of good governance.... I'll excuse those closely related to the duo like kids, wives and close relatives.
I don't care about what opinions would be, the best for now is PETER OBI.
THE END
This is just the truth, Tinubu has been rejected outrightly and he knew it. Next is to influence some urchins with money little over nothing that was yours to start mischief and spread fake news... I pity those set of Nigerians at these moments
