I couldn't take my eyes off Empire.
I have always been a movie addict especially those movies that are series as the take time to archive their plans thereby making it look like a reality.so being a movie addict I have a group where we come together to discuss the latest movies in town and then we either share the movies our selves or most times we go online to watch the movies.
So on one of those trips,one of my friends who happened to be a member of our movie group told me something about the block burster called empire,he said it was a movie drama and at hearing that music I immediately detested it but after sometime I decided to give it a trial so I went on line but before that he gave me the cd plate to watch and I collected it from him,this was the season 1 of that movie tittled"Empire".the beginning dipicts of a young girl who was on a bald head singing in side a studio and was being corrected by a handsome fair young man named lucious lyon who was the owener of the music studio.then going ahead the movie began to unfold some of the harsh realities of life,which includes that sometime for one to be able to become something meaningful one would be eager to commit a crime or do something that is against the law.lucious lyon found himself in this corner, having come from a poor family and from a mother who had no iota of love in her towards him. He needed to break this cycle of poverty inorder to become somebody whose lifestyle was to be envied greatly. During his youthful age their was this girl whom he met at college and they started seeing each other from there,the love was so strong that she went(cookie lyon) against the advice of her parents even when they threatened to disown her if she went ahead with lucious who was a young upcoming rapper then,and rappers were known to be irresponsible as at that time.
So they came together and wedded despite the fact that the two families were not in support of marriage, lucious being the fact that he needed to do something out of the line to raise money so as to break even in the rap music game assisted by his wife went into the selling of cocaine and other hard drugs.it was when he was doing it that he was cought and his lovely wife decided to bear the consequences for the incident believing that with the money they realized from the sales of that drugs, lucious could be able to start his career in music,so she was sentenced to 17years in prison and while in the prison lucious due to some bad decisions he made,he lost all the money the realized from the sales of the drugs and because he didn't want the sacrifice the wife made to be in vain,he then went and robbed one of his friends "fellin streets",he robbed this fellow to raise the money he used in breaking into lime light,so this became the starting of the music company called empire, within a short period of time went public and became one of the highest if not the highest in music business. Going back on the memory lane,before cookie the wife of lucious lyon was sentenced to prison,she had already bore lucious three child and they happen to be boys all through,first Andrew, second Jamal and the third who happened to be the last hakim. Andrew had a mental problem,Jamal was a gay and hakim was a pompous child, though Jamal and hakim were both into music,Jamal majored as an rnb while his younger brother hakim was a rapper.a good one.
They continued to live and trive despite the fact their mother was in jail,later their mother after doing seventeen years was released. On getting back home she was neglected by her children but at the end of the day she was accepted.
Empire is not just a movie but an advise on how to keep the family one and equally how to survive in life.along the line the relations of lucious and friends started looking for a way to bring him down,they went as far using his son to set a car bomb which although he survived it because his son recovered but it made him to loose one of his legs. Their was equally a time son and father were fighting against each other in order to find who would sit on the company's throne .Jamal survived a gun shot, lucious lyon survived a bomb attack,hakim equally survived a gun attack,so to say the family are survivors is not a bad thing after all.at the end of the day they all came together as a one big family apart from Jamal who had gone to make his life a better one in a far away country. Enjoy
How I opened my first day of 2021
Just like every first day of the year, the year 2020 urshered us into 2021 not on a platter of gold but sickness, hunger, starvation,sorrow and agony,but alas we made it into 2021,my activity on the last day of December 2020 was as usual,I went to the shop where I'm working,sold as many things as possible, though it was full of talking and talking as customers were all crying, shouting about how bad the economy is,how expensive things are down here and at same time how the government was even the one making things unnecessary hard for the Masses,so I had to beg and even sold some of my products at the exact prices the goods were supplied to me,lol,people were only busy stocking their homes with food stocks,I guess that was where their money was fully utilized,so at the end of the day I went home with the little sales I made.
Then came the time for their night service, previous years,the time for new year service was fixed in such a way that the service would commence late into the night and end at maybe few minutes into the new year or some would even stay longer but due to the virus that is pandemic we the inhabitants of the earth are battling we were instructed by the government to end on time as they all fixed curfew which was to start by 12 am on the dot and so we all complied with the government directive,the mass that was supposed to end by 1am ended by few minutes past eleven, come and see the way people were complaining, people were just annoyed that we did not dance the way we used to celebrate the new year service before,in the fathers sermon,he encouraged us to learn how to tolerate one another that Christmas and new year is a season of love,he equally admonished us to learn how to live in peace and unity,father equally reminded the little children that it is their duty to pay attention to what ever advice their parents gives to them and to see to it that they respect their parents. Few minutes to the dismissal time father asked the choir ro entertain us with some melodies which we grooved to though for a very short time due to the curfew as i pointed out earlier.then immediately we came out from the church people who brought with them some fireworks despite the Government placing a ban on it started shooting it immediately though as a law abiding citizen I am lol,law Abiding citizen inside a country that has no value for human life.Coming back from church I immediately saw my neighbors outside shooting their own fireworks ,on sighting me they immediately came to where I was standing and asked me to join them in what they were doing,I immediately obliged and then followed them to go and do what they were doing,we finished shooting the ones they bought and still went back to buy more,we searched the whole of our street looking for where to get our selves some bangers but we could not see but just as we were returning back home something struck our minds so we decided to go check in a chemist shop but in getting there,we discovered she had what we had been looking for ,for a very long time so we immediately went into her shop and got our selves the full packet of fireworks then came back to the house to deal with it.we started the second round of the shooting around 12am and ended it by few minutes to 1, initially we thought it was the end of our new year celebration,but little did I know my friend had a very thing a planned,he had called me earlier during the day to seek fro me the kind of wine I do take without knowing brother wanted to ruin my life with some champagnes that holy night.then he went inside his room and got some bottles of wine for us to devour.
The drinking started by one and we drank from that one am to five in the morning,then we were already down so we ran inside to catch some sleep to avoid disgracing our selves outside.the following morning was terrible as everything I laid my hands on smelled really terrible, standing from your my mouth so I immediately ran into the bathroom so as to brush my mouth,after that I still went about my sleeping but later were had fun.
Vision 2020 gone wrong.
2020 is and will always be a year to remember as long as planet earth is concerned. It will be a year to remember not because it came along with goodies or it came along with a lot of blessings or good memories but because it brought with it a world of chaos,it urchered in a deadly virus known as coronavirus which is pandemic in nature,this evil sickness can make one run down within a few days if not properly treated or taken care of. Just as every year comes and goes,this particular year had so many wonderful prophes on the eve of the 31 night of December 2019. So many people had a lot of plans which they were set to execute in 2020,the Nigerian government even called it the year of perfection"vision 2020, at the cross over nights,so many pastors,deacons,prophets, prophetess,soot sayers, bishops, Reverend fathers and all other religious folks or had one thing or the other thing good to say about 2020,we all shouted that night at the church,went to eateries on the first,visited our family friends in anticipation for a wonderful year ahead of us. But little did we know that the year was carrying with it sickness, plague,death,sorrow,hunger, starvation and so many other things which are bad and causes friction for good living among the living. Then after the new year ceremony, everything thing was moving fine, students were going back to school,both government workers and those who were privately employed were all going back to work as usual until tragedy struck and then covid -19 struck and the whole problem started, students were asked to vacate the school premesis with immediate effect and never to return until they are told to do so,"see me wey get better plans ooh",then as the students were all leaving the school environment the government went ahead and directed all the civil servants to go home,then ordered both the government workers and private workers to go on break till further notice.
See me wey no sabi wetin the happen,even as we were told to go on holidays till further notice poor me started reading thinking we would be called back soon ,I never knew we were hit by a sunami,so we continued,all of a sudden the pandemic started gaining massive grounds In the countries of the world. People were dropping down dead like they were ordinary ants,sorrow came in,with so many families affected and at a time even medical doctors who were on the line of duty started dying too,all as a result of this deadly virus,so many pundi predicted that africa would turn into a grave yard,but mother nature seemed to be more concerned about africa due to the problem we have already which is bad governance or bad people in the corridors of power. Then while while at home from school the government declared a total lockdown which forced even market women to close except those on essential duties like the doctors nurses, pharmacist and overall health workers. Though the pandemic was Killing people in all the continents of the world,africa was not severely death with as it gave a big blow to all other countries of the world. Then we were locked up for several months after which the lock down was eased,while on lockdown several comedians were busy even from their houses given us entertaining events.just to spice up our days,to make us free from boredom.so many of dem,simi and the husband,mr macaroni ,even don Jazzy,all joined hands in Making the unprepared holidays an eventful one.
Now after the government life's the lockdown another one came in the name of 'end SARS'a movement or rather a protest that generated a lot of Controversies due to the way it was poorly managed by the federal government of Nigeria. So many persons especially youths with future were killed by the muhammadu buhari led government and up til date they are still denying that nothing of such happened, hoodlums even seized the opportunity to loot people's shops dry.2020 would always be a year to remember, come the 31st day of December I would roll on the floor to thank God for seeing us through this pandemic year that made people loose their jobs including those who were killed by hunger. 2020 a year to remember.
The struggles of my life.
Man has always been in struggle right from the day he was born.and for me it has kind of been that way. The ups and downs I believe do not break us rather the mould us into something stronger that we could only imagine. They changes I have undergone in my life is a result of the decisions I made in the past and I'm still Making. In life I have come to understand that one should not be able to trust a fellow human being completely no matter how close your are to the person or how close the person is to you. Always see have it at heart that people are bound to fail,the reason why your friend has not disappoint you is because he has not seen the opportunity to ,but the moment you start seeing it as something that could happen then the better equipped you are,as you can easily forge ahead,so dear friends this is my story. A story of young man with too much ambition though from a humble background. So many things I have learned so far in life today, I learnt it myself,I practically taught my self. If you come from where I'm from you would have no reason or excuse to give for failure. Just moment after I graduated from college I secured a job after hunting up and down in order to get the job of my spec, though I got it but it was not on a platter of gold as I even sold the phone I was using then just to bribe my way into the complex of the company. Even after giving the bribe I still had to force my way to go see the Human resource manager (HR)who was responsible for giving jobs or for interviewing people.las las sha I got the job,at first it was a really good one because the department I was working in was not a strenuous one,as a matter of fact ,so many ladies or women as african women prefer being called ladies to women Lols,so I practically had fun working in this department but the joy was cut short as the company hinted on mass sacking of its employees as a result of bad management which led to mismanagement of funds which in turn delayed the goods of buys which made them to abandon the company, luckily for me ,I was not among those who were sacked.
Then came the second department I was filled to go and work,the department was a printing department,my first month day was something else as I fell sick almost three times that month alone. Ono the sickness no be hereoo,though my appreciation goes to my supervisor who stood by me during those awful moments.He would tell me to go home as soon as I report of my ill health to him. Gupta was really nice to me though as an Indian he was,though he was very annoying and cared less to employees who were working under him.i continued to work in this nylon printing company until I was given admission to study chemical engineering in one of the federal universities here.
Sometime later that year, specifically 20018 the University I put in my jamb gave me admission and I left the company in December then swore never to go back to work there despite the fact that Academic staff union of universities populary refered to as ASUU was on strike,so I waited till March before I went back to school as it was during this period that the strike was called off.Sadly I lost all my life savings to some ponzi scheme where I was 40%of my capital under one week together with my capital. This was how I lost the money that I managed to save from the hard work I did at the industry where I worked . So I decided to rest after December of that year without looking for anything to do. Finally I got into the University,like my peers ,my first days at school was terrible as I needed to get adapted to the way they do things there ,a lot of early mornings and late nights though it paid off in my result as I made 4.5 in my first year of schooling. I was doing fine until coronavirus came and spoilt the whole thing both my plans but anyways, I'm.still grateful to God for all he's done.
My life has been a little bit rocky,some days are good some are equally bad.
Summary of my life since after college (continued).
Now it's one month to my graduation ceremony and being the senior prefect of my college,it was duely expected of me to grace the occasion as u would be the one to read our farewell speech to both the students and the parents who would be around during the course of our graduation.so after I left that bakery factory dejected and frustrated,I headed home with nothing having come to that place that morning by 6am without eating any thing,just like jack ma was rejected,I was also,some day my story would be told.So I left that factory for home inorder to go put some food in side my stomach,the way that led home was far,my legs were heavy and my breath was abnormal, I walked home thinking in my mind about my failures,about my futile mission,how i would wake up by 5oclock just to go look for a job since the interviews normally take place in the morning.Now when I got home,I started to play one of michael jackson's songs,as I took solace in it. Deep down I was beginning to see my self as a failure, because some if not most of my classmates were all doing one job or the other while me who was the topper in the class was working around looking for something to lay my hands on so I could gat paid. Then along the line I stopped over at a brewery outlet one day in one of my job hunting expenditures and decided to just try my luck,so I went and asked them if their was space and luckily or unfortunately I was offered a job to work as a loader and equally as a conductor.so I started,I loaded about Six hundred cartoons of lager beer and subsequently packed and loaded empty crates while we went on our duty .then later on at the end of the day poor me was anticipating a bigger money as compared to the tedious work I did but that hope was shattered as I was only given a thousand naira note.i looked on my self when Isaw it with pity, though I had faith all would be well.so I left for home ,on getting home my grandma was sad because she knew her boy hardly got tired from doing things.she continued to asked until I told her about the event of the day, immediately I narratated my ordeal to her she made it known to me that I would have to stop going but I please with her to allow me,she did allow me go the following day but that was the last day I went there in the name of going to work or going to do anything that would make me lossny back. Now my graduation was drawing closer without having any clothes one would go to the events with.
Summary of my life since after college.
At the beginning life after school was hard, literally I couldn't attend my graduation ceremony because I didn't have money to buy my self the required suit for my graduation, despite the fact I was the school senior prefect and I was supposed to render the speech on behalf of the outgoing students who were my classmates. Now immediately after I wrote my waec and jamb I immediately started looking for jobs here and there to save up and get myself the required costumes for my ceremony, firstly I world in a bakery but to be honest it was what I would call modern day slavery,I was doing the job meant for atleast five persons all alone and the salary was not motivating so I left it and continued to search for a job,meanwhile mine graduation ceremony was to take place sometime in July and we finished our waec in April and then I finally wrote jamb in May, immediately after these two exams I started job hunting in order to make ends meet,later though I missed my graduation as a result of my inability to secure or maybe due to the tough rules attached to the job,I had to quit.
My first job hunting was at a wine production factory,I was told by my friends who got employed there how mouth watering their pay is and how one can make a comfortable living from it as long as one is ready to work and equally hard working since they pay according to what the employee is able to. After I heard these things from my friends I decided to shoot my shot inorder t see if I would be able to enjoy or have a first hand witness of these things so I proceeded to the company to submit my credentials,on the way I was stopped and told that one would not be allowed to enter the company premises without putting on safety boots,safety boots kor what do I even know sef, meanwhile the little I had left with me was what I used to get myself the boot on hire not minding the fact that I could end up not getting employed.i was just too nive and anxious to get a job inorder to avett what was ahead of me from happening. Then we were asked to go home and to come back the following morning,I was equally told by that same friend of mine to come to that place on time that I could get picked if they employers saw me there at the wee hours of the morning,man had to trek home because I used the money that I was supposed to user to feed myself and equally transport myself back to buy boot that I didn't make use of. That day was indeed a bad one for me. I still managed to come again the following morning,this thing I was there before 7 O'Clock b,I was even beaten by the rain,Kai wetin man dey pass through for job hunting.i still continued to wait even after the rain thinking I would be given a chance but at the end,the chance never came so I had to leave there as they are busy doing us come today,come tomorrow,at some point I had to leave and continue my search elsewhere.
This time it was a bread making factory I started going to look for a job, initially the first day I went I was told that the guy who was in charge of employment was yet to come and that I should try again so I left hoping that I would secure the job. Back then it was populary thought and said that guys who worked in the bakery always had bread to the full. And innocent me being a very good fan of bread decided to make sure I got employed in a bread making company so I could equally enjoy making bread and eating without paying lols,mad me.i continued to go to this particular bread making company due to its popularity and for the fact that my friends were working there was another reason why I continued to look and hustle for job there.this went on for sometime until one unfortunate day or maybe fortunate, I met the owner of the company and he told me right there and then that i quote"boy you a white man and at such you can't be able to work". I left there feeling dejected and frustrated. Now it's one month left to my graduation ceremony.
Ladies and gents,get ready for the continuetion of this soon!.⁰
They tv series we grew up watching.
Hollywood movie especially series or the one most people prefer to call seasonal movies is the most loved watched television drama by me.with joy and at same time a little bit sadness I do predict what I think would follow or would happen later in the movie and this was the way I grew up.back here in Africa people started to watch movies with dvd players back in the 2008 up wards and sourcing for good products or good movies wasn't an easy one. So in one of my adventures I was maybe Lucky to stumble on one of the tv series burster titled "MERLIN" this movie was so sweet and I was so addicted to it that I can watch it over and over again when it is aired in our tv screen. They movie was about a young boy who by name was Merlin and the boy was born with magic,I could say h was a magician not just an ordinary one but the chosen one or even the greatest during his time.Despite all the powers this young lad possessed he still managed to remain humble as he was the servant of the only male child the king had,he was so devoted to his duty that the king's son by name Author fell in love with the ways he carried out his duty which made the king's son author to take him as his best friend and comfinder,though the king's son author had no knowledge Merlin was a magician because it was forbidden in their kingdom and anyone caught practising it is given the death penalty so marlin decided to keep his identity hidden from author the king's son inorder to protect his life. Though one of the king's guard later found out but still decided to let him be because he equally loved him, despite the fact magic was prohibited in their kingdom he managed to still hell the king defeat their enemies with his magic without the knowledge of the king or the son who was his Master,he took and protected the kingdom as if it were his own though author later found out towards the end but then he had managed to scare of his enemies.tjis movie was entertaining that virtually all the youths who do watch movies were aware of the movie,they all wanted to watch with their two eyes the rave of the moment,this movie could make us decide to go hungry just to watch our darling merlin.
Another block burster was "legend of the seeker",I equally took time off just to watch this particular movie, watched it over a million times but wouldn't mind to sit down now and rewatch because it seems new each time I try to rewatch.thia movie centered on two characters,one antagonist and one protergonist.the movie tells a story of two brothers who did not know they were brothers and they both continued to fight against themselves in order to control their world.though the elder brother was a king who was fighting to subdue and to make everybody worship him as a god,the younger brother was busy fighting to make sure such thing never happened.the movie is a one you would never regret if you watched it.
Another one is "jumong".this one is about a king who was to give the throne to his sons but it turned out to be that he had all things mind, he wanted to give the throne to the son of his friend haemosu who fought alongside him during the war,Haemosu was said to be tr greatest warrior as his skill was unmatched by any man born of a woman,he would tear a thousand men with only his sword.His prowess at both swinging of swords and shooting of arrow is unmatched.this particular movie helped in shaping my life too,it made me to know when to fight and when to back out, despite the fact that the language used all through was chinese I stayed glued to the subtitle inorder to understand fully what was happening. They movie itself depicts of wisdom and good virtues,it is a must watch for all who seek wisdom. And finally"Empire"this one tends to make us understand that one could be whatsoever one wish to only if one is willing t pay the secrifices. I must admit that these movies in one way or the other has helped in reshaping my life.
Ruggedity life of a lagos resident
Lagos state is one of the thirty six states in Nigeria dominated by the yorubas who are partly Christians and partly muslims, though the igbos form the major part or would I say that the igbos are the economic players in this state, lag as fondly called is a home to all and sundry who dream to live a comfortable life with the zeal to archiving it,though it does not come on a platter of gold as one would need to be very creative before one would find the tree of success. This great state used to be the capital of Nigeria before it was moved to Abuja, though it's lands are mainly covered by water which caused a lot of house deficit in the past but lately the government is putting work in place in order to solve this housing problem. Lagos state is perhaps the smallest state in Nigeria but it is the most populated as well.people from all works of life do run to this city for one purpose or the other,it could be to run a business transactions or to take time off ones schedule for relaxation purpose as the best artists we have from Africa are in this state. People are often heard saying that lagos is a place where one goes to pick money from the ground but this is a fat life as life in lagos is a tough one in the sense that if you are not creative and highly ambitious to succeed then definitely this small city with a deadly population explosion would send you back to where ever you came to her from.Despite the harsh realities of lagos it is still the choicest destination for a hustler,for one who wishes to make it as it provides one with numerous job opportunities. One of the reasons why this city is termed a hustling and bustling state is due to the fact that their is no differentiation between day and night,as you would see people coming out en mass to display their goods as late as 10pm in the night and equally you see people coming out early in the morning to sell their products but one distinct thing with lagos is that as long as you know what you are doing definitely hunger will not see you.
Now the city of lagos not withstanding how good and how esteemed it is held still have so many ills
One is the terrible rate of go slow lagos is associated with and the poor state of roads over there despite the high level of revenue the lagos state government generates from taxation. Though lagos State is the number destination for business and other activities but the high level of taxation and high cost of transportation makes it hard for one to save some money at the end of the month. Lagos state habours so many slums despite being the state with the highest internal generated revenue in Nigeria,despite being one of the most populated city in the world,it's still lags behind in terms of infrastructure and human capital development and this was visible during the "lekki toll gate massacre"in which some hoodlums seized the opportunity t wreck havoc people during the time of the protests.
One would wake up by 4oclock in the morning just to beat lagos traffic as one could spend the whole day in traffic on some occasions lols,some people are not even happy with it,their reason for staying is because of the commitments they have over there already.
Lagos is equally a place where graduates do run to in search of white collar jobs,though they often end up getting one but it is not always the case as many are still frustrated due to Inability to secure a job or due to the fact that they are being underpaid. Though one could still land a good job if the person is highly connected,some of the problems encountered by commercial bus drivers includes lasma,this agency is responsible for controlling the roads in Lagos but it has gradually turned into a tax collection agency as all they do is to go about harassing some innocent citizens all in the name of carrying out their duty. The rate at which business owners are tagged in lagos State makes one wonder where the money goes into because the infrastructure on ground does not portray it .The revenue pumping out from this great city/state supersede some countries revenue, yet the politicians are holding the state to ransom. Lagos state should sit up and be the pride every Nigerian has always wanted it to be,it should serve as a pace setter for other states in Nigeria.
Is Nollywood progressing?
Nollywood is the popular name by which the Nigerian movie industry is known all over the world. It has gone on to be the second most matched movie behind Hollywood,now this multi million industry did not just take off in a day,like the popular saying that "Rome was not built in a day"it took the people who have brought it this far a lot of commitment, passion and zeal for them to have arrived at this stage. But now the originality of what it used to be know for is what so many people are beginning to doubt if they are still in line with it today.
Brief history of Nollywood
The Nigerian movie industry populary known and called Nollywood all over the world started sometime in the 1900s,they name Nollywood was given or rather assigned to the Nigerian movie industry by a white man after the hollywood as the whites calls their own.they first started by airing out normal drama without it being displayed on the television,people would go to a particular place to have a great view of it.as time passed by the Nigerian network television authority (NTA) starting airing it inorder to reach a wider audience and at the same time make it to be more popular among the countries of the world and this fit they have achieved. Later on NTA stope the airing of it on their network television after it had gained attention over Nigeria and some notable african countries.then the issue of how to make good and quality movie came in with a view of reaching a wider audience,this made the producers as at that time to go into the recording of it into cassette which later metamorphosiesd into the recording in vcd and dvd plates. Meanwhile while all these things were going on, the revenue was being shard between the movie producers and people who were into piracy,mind you piracy is the sole reason why Nigerian movie industry does not make the money they should make off the movies they produce. They whites equally experience piracy but it's not as rampant as it is down here in Nigeria.
Over the years the Nigerian movie industry has evolved so much that one could mistaken it to be a dream, in the past inorder to attract viewers a popular figure would always be beckoned but this is no longer the case today. Some the movies that brought Nollywood into lime light includes "Living in Bondage" where andy okenkwo played a vital role,this particular movie protayed the difficulty and the so man rough terrains one would pass through before one makes it in life,it dipicts the story of andy okeke who worked so hard to be rich but was faced by too many obstacles and eventually ended up using his wife to d money ritauls as a result of the bad companies he kept,led into the occultic world by one Mr.omego whom was know to be a regular vip at different occasions. This movie was a block buster back then because it was about or it gave a real definition of how tough life is and how bad people who failed to take it easy often end up in misery. Living in Bondage even up to now is still being played In some households,another blockbuster was the rattle snake,the billionaires and so many others. But today the Nollywood seems to be deteriorating in quality as the only reason why people do watch it is because of the improvements that has been made in it's production i.e its sound,video quality and so on but the content itself is no longer as sweet as it used to be, some people are even of the opinion that Nollywood is now likened to a porn industry because the kind of indecency that goes on there leaves one to only believe without having any iota of doubt,unlike in the days when it was still fresh,the movie was about quality then,actors like Chinedu and osita popularly called akin and pawpaw made us develop stomachache due to laughter lols. Children used to forget about the errands they were sent on during these movies,osufia,chiwetalu agu, the dead sam loco, mr.ibu just to mention but a few made Nollywood a movie for relaxation not forgetting pete edochie whose words are wisdom. These actors really did and are still putting in their best order to shoot us to the very top. Today's actors and actresses are all about the money without minding what they shun out to their viewers and as a result they are fast loosing it and dragging us back which we don't want so we call on all the movie producers to sit up and do their best inorder t ensure that this industry Is moved to a greater heights.
Which way Nigerian youths
With a heart full of sorrow and a face full of tears I write this piece. The Nigerian youths are perhaps one of the largest and heaviest in terms of work force. But over the years the Nigerian youths have proven to be useless or would I call it enemies of themselves. Over the years the Nigerian youths have been exploited by the politicians due to lack of jobs and amenities which would inturn foster development and the urge to be productive. Now though the political elites have refused the Nigerian youths education, though they have refused to provide them with an enabling environment where these young men and women of substance can thrive, Nigerian youths being mindful of this still look up to these politicians as their saviour where as these politicians are the ones killing the Nigerian youths and rendering them useless, and this has been going on for a while now, now even the much talked about corruption has taken over equally the youths as the are now following the footsteps of their leaders,a case scenario is the school environment i.e the universities, polytechnics,collage of education and so on l, during the elections that goes on in these citadel of learning,that is the famous student union government popularly abbreviated (sug),during the elections of this student union government students are not usually at ease due to the series of evil being perpetuated, students who are participating even go as far as sending thugs on their opponents or perceived threat to the sug house. Now this area is one of the areas where the Nigerian youth is found wanting,the atrocities being carried out these Nigerian youths during the sug election would make one to start thinking if the youths are really prepared to take over leadership from the hands of those oppressing them. This one played out during the end "SARS" protest that brought the country to it's knees but still the Nigerian youths failed to capitalize on tht weakness of their evil leaders to take what rightfully belong to them.
Just after the screaming of "endsars" a slogen they later said it was end bad and brutal governance and equally the youths should be included in decision making in the country. Now after all these said and done just the following month another bye election was held in the country and the same youths that were shouting up and down were the ones who still went and voted In the same old men the protested against so I ask again "Nigerian youths which way"things have become so bad that the few youths we have in the country are so bad and corrupt that even some whose hands are yet to be toiled are afraid of voting into power these so called youths. Now imagine Nigerian universities have someone who is above the age of forty at its National association of Nigerian students (NANS) president.its quit funny and this alone contradicts the saying that the youths should be get involved in decision making when their very own is controlled equally by an elderly person.Now one would confidently say that the youths are not yet ready to get involved in the governance of the day. And to compound the whole thing even the ones in the universities who claim to be studying are mostly whiling away their time as all they go to do is join one group of cult or the other just to be called carried men,they equally go into fraud and then the remaining ones go about the campus wooing women here and there.
Now it's high time the Nigerian youths sat up considering what their leaders do to them on a daily,the once whose minds have been opened should sensitize those who are illiterates amongst them.sensitization is what the youths need the most now inorder to move forward.these same unsensitized elements were used as thugs to disrupt the "endsars"protest which would have brought in a revolution that would have led to the rise of a new Nigeria devoid of ethnicisim,violence,bribery, corruption and so on. But alas the government used the same youths who they deliberately left to suffer so as to use them in situations like this to perpetuate their evil agenda.
Arise ohh Nigeria youths and take your place among the youths of the world.!!!
Men are fast becoming endangered species.
God created man in his own image and put him in charge of everything he created,it took him sometime before he created the woman and out of the man's rib the woman was formed,her duty was to support the man whom God had created after himself. Now all these scenery gives the affirmation that man is a god on earth because God created him and had him put in charge of everything. It was later the woman was given to him to be his assistant and to keep him from being lonely,but contrary to the will of God,men are now being manipulated by this weaker sex as they call themselves.
In today's marriage,home can only be fun if the woman is happy,it doesn't matter if the man is sad,men toil day and sometimes they even do nightshift at their place of work inorder to make ends meet,while the woman sits at home,some would be busy cheating on their husbands without any iota of conscience,not even minding that the husband is somewhere toiling to make sure that their is food and other necessities of life for the family.this often times put the men into a sad state and yet when they try to react as a result of this the society begins to boil and frown at it without caring to know whose fault it is. Some men even after toiling still come back home to some duties that ordinarily was supposed to have been done by their wife's. We can see the result of this Over playing out,Some women even go as far as exploiting the spouse while he is perhaps trying to make ends meet and if the man feels like he is done with the marriage based on infidelity,bad attitude and behavior,the woman runs to the court and starts to ask for the child or children upkeep as the case maybe. This is someone whose legs and hands are working but has deemed herself to lazy to work inorder to earn a decent living. Their are so many examples of these kinds of situation littered all over the social media,funny enough the men would be going through this but when they react it becomes another problem for themselves.,At same time if the sue for divorce they would equally loose a large chunk of all the have accumulated over the time.
Men are fast becoming endangered specie. Some women now are fighting for them to be recognized too,they are fighting for equal rights to be given to them just like the men but yet they don't want to take the responsibilities attached to these right they are clamoring for. Men are the victims of almost every misfortune but the femine gender would still not agree,they are always fast to seek for pity after commiting too many atrocities which can have the man punished severely,I once saw an article where the writer a"woman"was trying to convince people that women are they primary victims of war,now this got me more confused,I started to ask myself some questions"is it not men who go to battle and in most cases don't back, are they not the one that should be referred to as the primary victims of war. Most homes have been thrown apart as a result of this ugly trade that women have used to manipulate men over the time, men suffer so much but get little or nothing in return,their are some men whom their children donot even know S the result of going to work very early and then coming back very late. All these things points out the fact that they(men)are at the receiving point of this but still,they would be blamed.
We have seen so many cases of how the man killed himself and equally the wife knowing fully well that he would be paying to they women who has cost him more harm than goood.Most men toil without getting the needed appreciation.
I think it's high time men started looking for other ways to make themselves happy other than tieing his happiness to the well of the family at his own detriment. Men should learn how to walk immediately from a toxic relationship where all they have could be taken away from them without any iota of conscience by the opposite sex.one such persons who fell a victim is Eboue who once played for arsenal in the English premier league .Men should as a matter of urgency.ake reforms in order to assume back to that role . Gentlemen and gentlemen in skirts permit me to let know that men are already an endangered specie.

Humanity and Racism
Racism is what is currently on the mouth of every individual who perhaps by colour is a black or by race an african. Racism could be defined to be the belief that each race has a distinct and intrinsic attributes,it could also be defined as the belief that one race is superior to another . These are some of the definitions I was able to get as racism so let's dive into the other of the day,blacks have always seen themselves as the victims of this ugly trend and cacanworm that has been going on for a very long time now. Now I don't totally believe the notion that africans are the greatest victims of this instead i think that they are the pioneers of this evil called racism,mind you Racism doesn't only mean that one race is superior to another,rather it comes in so many forms and ways, something happened to me recently that changed my entire view about racism,I was at my business place recently and a man with the wife came to patronize me but upon sighting I was not from their tribe they immediately left, procrastinating somebody whom you share the same country with,whom you share almost everything with,your fellow country men,I was astonished for sometimes over this ugly incident taking place in this 21century,I was like wow so even black that claim to be the victims of this evil are perhaps the ones championing it.so I began to understand that africans are the greatest practicers of racism.
They other day was about floyd d the one that happened in america where a picture and equally a video on how a black man was murdered unjustly by the american police,but at the end of the day it was even the so called white whom they claim practice rasicm was at the fore front of it,they were the ones who fought to make sure that floyd D's death was avenged,Along the line it was even the blacks who were not showing corncen. This issue has been going on for sometimes and nearly in all corners or sectors,football is equally not left out,their was a match in which manchester united player in the person of "fred" when he joined Manchester United newly was abused and instead of his fellow backs to go help him out,they were all busy feeling reluctant,one of such players who felt reluctant to help was sterling,he only stood and watched what was going on but couldn't make a move.
Once again who and which continent practice racism the most.people born with black skin alone believe that it is a disease and they try everything humanly possible to get this color off their skin,they start to apply all sorts of bleaching crime, inorder to change their natural color to sometime else which in most cases doesn't end well.except the person has a lot of cash to throw around.Blacks generally feel inferior to tht white now my question is this,'how do you want someone to love you and accept you for who you are when you hate yourself and haven't been able to accept you for you? it's very worrisome. Always demanding that ine fills in the state of ones origin in documents by private firms and associates in itself is racism. Buying of crime by one to affect a change in the person's skin color is equally racism. Now here are equally some reasons why the white don't like the black though I won't call it racism
1)The blackman depends on the white man for everything, ranging from technology to even the food we eat is dependent on the choice and what the white man is eager to produce or manufacture,a case study is the coronavirus that took place some months ago though it's yer to go but tremendous effort are being made to put it to an end.they whites have been busy fighting and looking for a way to put this pandemic to an end while they blacks as expected are busy waiting eagerly to receive the cure from the whites.
2) Greed and self-centeredness
The black man is so engrossed in this that any little office given to them must always be abused in terms of stealing, giving prefrencial duty and not carrying out thier duty legitimately. They steal the money meant for the good of all for their own selfish and personal gains.Funny enough after stealing it,they still carry it the western world which these blacks here claim practice rasicm. The white man out of his self compassion would still bring those looted and stolen resources only for the black man to look for another country to hide the stolen funds. Africans hate themselves then how do you want others to cherish you when you see your self as a monkey and when you are more wicked to your fellow, Nigeria blacks even believe more on employing a whie to a having a black person employed.
Why do we blew h our skin?
Why do we rely soley in the whites for everything ranging from food,drinks to even ammunitions and drugs.
Why is it that africa donot have facilities for effective research instead the sit and wait until the white man comes up with something. Now ladies and gents how can one cherish you when you don't bring any tangible thing to the table. This is a car of a bright student always helping the academic dummies but won't get the slightest help when he runs to them,what else would he do if not to cut ties with them.
African sit up and stop playing this blame game because you offer nothing to the world,invest heavily in research, education and industries by so doing you will gain your place in the world map!.
They good,the ugly and the bad of Christmas.
It has finally come,it is that month of the year, Christians from all work of life take some time off work to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ the son of God,this celebration is done annually and it brings so many families back to their roots, people travel from the state of residence to either their maternal or paternal home ,some equally uses this time to go visiting,some go on vacations and all of that but anyhow one chooses to celebrate the Christmas,it is always dine in a unique way.Now we all know that this wonderful birthday of christ is celebrated in a unique way and mind you,things done in unique ways are way expensive so as a result their are too many spendings done every Christmas In commoration of the birth of christ,some people even go as far as borrowing just to make sure that they are nor left behind in the celebration.chicken, goats,cow and even turky are slaughtered during this wonderful birthday celebration.Over the years Christmas has been the only celebration that reunited family members as those who could not come back in ordinary times are forced to come and they usually comply to the joy of Christmas,simply put Christmas is a wonderful time of the year.
Now gentlemen and gentlemen in skirts let's take a look at the good side of Christmas, Christmas has been a reuniting factor over the years,it is equally a time a true christian prepare himself or herself to be in the state of grace,a state where people who you wronged and those who wronged you are pardoned in your heart,as you do not want to be found wanting in any way during this wonderful Time. Children who were mostly not cared enough for knows that the time for their new clothes to arrive has come ,schools are not equally left out, It is that time so many schools begin to plan for a place to take their students to go chill off,their is always plenty to eat and drink,but one has to be careful with the way one go about such things. The village stream is equally not left out as it serves as a relexation center for all who embraced the village during this wonderful times.peopel wake up in the morning with joy because they would not be going to work and they early morning cool breeze makes it difficult for one to wakeup on time as a result you see people still on bed as late as 10am in the morning.They locals are not left out as the begin to troop in numbers to welcome back their sons and daughters who just got back from all works of life. In the village,inorder to make this occasion a wonderful one, masquerades are spotted everywhere trying to spice up the moment. Generally Christmas is celebrated by all and sundry.
Now ladies and gents let's quickly take a look at the ugly part of this wonderful,edifying, nourishing event.
Christmas though is a month of celebration itself but it is a month of too many Controversies,so many families go into a sickness called "anxeymia",but please If this kind of illness should get you down, don't visit the hospital please save your money lols,because by second week of January you will be fine,this is generally defined as a state of confusion due to the things especially The expenses Christmas normally brings with itself. Your wife that used to greet you before would start to go out without even greeting as a result of you not having bought for her the things she feels like she should have for the Christmas,your children could even begin to develop this cold feelings towards the parent if they are yet to be given or bought their Christmas dresses.but then by the second week of January when all these celebrations must have passed then it would down on them that their school fees needs to be paid and maybe you couldn't get them the best for Christmas because you were preparing for their school fees then definitely everybody would be happy.Your wife will begin to honour you the way she used to before.So as a man if you experience any of this,please just be calm and hopefully by January you will be fine. The too much expenses that December brings a long with itself has made many people die to the fear of meeting up gone into so many evil vices,some even go as far as stealing,some even killing people and then selling their parts to make small change with which they would harass their village people.these things often out those at the receiving end in pains and tears.
Christmas is meant to be enjoyed,one is supposed to make preparations for both the body and the soul and not only the body, Gentlemen and gentlemen in skirts happy new month and do have a blissful Christmas celebration.!

Road to Riches
Financial freedom has always be the dream of every human being born on planet earth but due to existence of forces which one is expected to cross,one's expectations is sometimes cut off as a result of not being able to cross these forces,one thing with financial freedom is that it makes one to be self confident, knowing very well that nothing can shake you or mal you without you doing your possible best to have the best of care,these things could come inthe form of ill health,and so many others which if one does not have the financial power could lead to depression and could finally throw the person into his early grave.
Now so many people think that financial freedom is what one can get on a platter of gold without doing something demanding from the public or not working at all but Then we most times come to realize that we have been lying to our selves.except you were born with a golden spoon,you must work hard for you to be able to excell. Most of our youths today has joined the bandwagon of gambling thinking that the would make fortune off it without knowing that the system was built to bully them for ever, you can't always be successful and happy in life if you are addicted to this destiny killer,think about the time your matches would begin,the rate at which your heart beats,the irresponsible look people will have on you if the found out what you are into.
Another misconception people have about money is the 'invest and get paid: syndrome,now the ceo or the brains behind this system knows that it won't be sustainable so they try to lure people into it,they go ahead and rob peter just to pay Paul.Have you asked your self where they are getting the money they claim they would be paying you.
A look at the world's richest men today would open up your mind on how to attain financial freedom, it's like you seeing them as a role model,that way definitely if yoj are on the right track then you will acquire the financial power you crave for.Their are equally some sites that pay real dope money to it's investors but they are few and can't be readily accessable,one those site is the Amazon truck or something similar to it,where you wait for months Before your account will be taken into notice or consideration.
They readcash community has proven to be one of the best thing to happen to me as am a student who because of the Asuu strike is at home running almost on loans before some one introduced me to it,now this is just a passive income program not the one that can make you rich instantly.now how many of this kind of genuine and legitimate paying sites do we have in the world today.
They choice of being rich or attaining financial freedom depends on the ability of one and then how smart one is,it should equally be of note that what we call 'grace' plays a vital race too.
They earlier we acknowledged the fact that their is no free money the better for all of us.though money can be made through so many others like vlogging, belonging and so many others, you earn but you must surely need to work. They youths should desist from a these evil vices.do have a great day ahead.
A look at the three biggest Musicians in Nigeria.
Nigeria is a country blessed by mother nature with melodious and hyper active musicians,these musicians have continued to make us proud with their wonderful songs, Nigerian songs are now widely acceptable in the whole world courtesy of these great men and women's contribution and hardwork.Now the three have gone on to be nominated for grammy awards,so let's take a look at the three and then think smartly of the one who would likely bring the grammy to Nigeria.first on our list is
David adeleke aka Davido
Gentlemen and gentlemen in skirts,join me and welcome on stage the self acclaimed "OBO".Davido was formally in the united States of america doing music before he came back to Nigeria because his brand was finding it hard to survive over there.On getting to Nigeria this hardworking musician immediately went into the studio made some songs and collaborated with Naeto c and gbam he became house hold name, though being a son of a wealthy man he did not say okey since my father is rich,it's of no use that I go out there to stress myself, instead he worked like his life and survival depended on it and today he has built for himself an enviable record brand all over africa in general, though he is controversial in nature,it hasn't stopped him from making the right decisions and living the life other artists only live in thier dreams, David adeleke has won numerous music awards including the "BET"music awards,the mtv awards and so many others too numerous to mention.Davido has gone on to record songs with so many foreign artists like Chris brown,Meekmill and so many other american artists with Nicki minaj being the recent one.Just last month he released an album called "a better time"though the album has recorded so many negative criticism it is still one of the best albums of the year.he has the international female rapper"Nicki minaj"featured in it.Davido few days back was nominated for a grammy award. Following closely is his arch rival and perhaps the biggest as acclaimed by his lovers.
Ayo balogun popularly know as Wizkid aka starboy has become a house hold name in the entertainment industry both home and abroad,I remembered a time he was having a problem with a Canadian musician called the weekend who is also known as starboy over the use of his name ,though the beef Is no longer that active as we were meant to understand by the media.Wizkid who was a studio rat in the studio owned by OJB,he witnessed tuface record his grass to grace music album. Coming from a humble family,the height wizkid aka starboy has attended inthe music industry can only be dreamt and envied.wizkid ever since his debut song holla at your boy has gone on to win all the winnable awards,was the first Nigerian artist to behind psquare to future an a list Canadian musician (Drake),all I can say is that wizkid is in the class of his own,he worn three awards in one night in far away america,I guess that should be enough to convince you of the artist we are talking about here, mentored by Banky W,wizzy as fondly called left EME entertainment record label after series of cheating as he explained then by his boss and those who were managing him. He left and formed his own label called starboy and since then it's been a wonderful smoothe ride for him.He promised to release his album titled made in Lagos (MIL)some months back and finally the music album is out and has equally received some positive reviews from fans across the globe.He was so cool in this particular album that so many of his fans are of the opinion that it is not an album a poor man should listen to,some equally said that listening to this album without having your baby by your side could lead one to depression,the album was devoid of noise as it was all cool from the a to the z,Ayo was equally nominated for an award at the Grammys,last on our list but not the least is Burna boy.
Oluwa burna as fondly called came into the Nigerian music scene some years back and has continued to build himself to where he is today, though he ran away from america due to anger issues as he was said to done a terrible thing over there. Burna boy's mother who manages him was one of the dancing vixen fela used when he was alive.people still believes burnaboy's prowess was passed down to him from the legendary fela anikpola kuti.He once appeared at the african shrine in one of felabration performance putting on only white pants,just like fela would do.over the years burnaboy has really tried from the single that shot him to us (like to party,and tonight) these two singles undoubtedly helped in skyrocketing burnaboy,he has equally gone on to win some manny award including the BET awards,just last year he was norminayed for the Grammys though he lost to kejo the woman behind the song "we are one '.fast forward to this year,again burna has been nominated at the Grammys for the second time in two years,maybe he will bring back this one home, later this year he released his album titled "twice as tall"which has gained more reputation among the three albums,he admonished the youths to get up and never feel empty in his song level up,burna boy's album "twice as tall is loved by all,it has always been his dream and a collective dream of Nigeria artists to bring home the grammy someday. Now do Nigerians believe it is high time their artists brought back the highly rated grammy award in the music industry?!.

Christian worship songs in Nigeria
Christian worship song has always helped people in their period of difficulties,it could be played to worship God,it can as well be played to meditate on the things of God,we often still play these songs during the burial ceremony of a christian inorder to let those alive know that someday it would still be their turn to join those who have journed to the world beyond. These songs are played in the church as no ceremony can take place without it being played or sang by the christian community.Christian songs do push God into actions,it makes him to act faster since our brother apostle Paul said that he who sings well prays twice.
Some notable christian musicians who helped in pushing in the christian music include the likes of frank edward who came into limelight with his song "oghenedo",the way this song was blasting in every neighborhood was alarming as their was hardly any Christian gathering that could take place without this song being played, oghenedo went on to gain the airways even outside the chores of the Nigerian,thanks to love world music group,the label owned by christ embassy for moulding him(frank edward)into what he is today, the boy that used to sell the staple food "okpa"has now made it .today he is celebrated in africa as one of the best gospel artist.Another one on our list is Sinach who hails from Abia state in the south easten part of the country,Sinach has been blasting our ears ever since she graced the floor. They "I know who I am"crooner has been moving from strength to strength over the years,even after he got married and gave birth to her first child we thought this was going to slow her down but nevertheless she is still coming better each time a new release is made by her.We equally appreciate love world music for making this come to past.The love world music label which is owned and managed by christ embassy is synonymous with bringing and training up of so many artists.The artists that have been brought up by this music label are too numerous to mention, ranging from frank edwards,Sinach,samsung,preye,and so many others.And funny enough all of these musicians are still very active after so many years which it is not the case with musicians as their prowess at singing begins to fade after sometime.
Another artist whose gospel song can make you to start crying at the moment it's been played is nathaniel bassy,I'm a die hard fan of this man,his songs keeps me motivated and equally gives me strength each time I'm facing difficulty or having a bad day or week. Nathaniel has gone on to prove to so many that their is powers in the worship songs we sing more than we know.Another artists on this list is prosper the (ekwueme) guy together with the lady whom he sang that song with.That song even up to now makes me go emotional each time it's been played,I'm really grateful to them for blessing us with that wonder banger.Chioma Jesus is now a mother when it comes to shuning out edifying good songs that propel the minds of the fellowers of christ to always praise him their whole heart.
Now another more people with the grace to lead the people of God just came in and ever since they arrived it's been good music after good music.they list are mercy chinwo,ada,judikay and host of others,we equally have some catholic priests who are performing wonders such as father Mbaka also on the list,this reverend father has gone on to show that one can be anything one aspires despite the area of life one find himself and no matter how little time the person could get. One can't help but begin to feel the presence of God each time this artists arise to lead in worship songs to our maker.God us been using these wonderful people to draw us closer to him ,I pray the continue and never to relent in giving songs we would always when ever we wish to go into the spiritual realm.

A look at "cultism" the destroyer of life and destiny
Cultism has been know to be one of the highest destroyers of destiny yet many youths still jump into this sinking ship.lets take a closer look at the meaning of cultism. According to english dictionary cultism is defined as a system or practice of a cult and then a closer look at a cult would be defined as a group of people with a religious,philoSophical or cultural identity sometimes viewed as a sect,often existing on the margins of society or exploitative towards it's members. Always remember this word "exploitative".let's go into the history of cultism in Nigeria.
Cultism was brought into the higher institutions of learning specifically university of ibadan by one of the greatest novelist in africa in the person of wole soyinka. Though it was brought in for the well being of the Nigerian students with it's main aim targeted at helping the students who could not provide for them selves as a result of hardship and also it had in it's rule that one must be highly intelligent for one to become a member,upon graduation from the University this original fraternity still went ahead to get it's members connected inorder to give them jobs,In general they were all about the well being of their members.but what we have today is a different story all together.the first fraternity to have exist in Nigerian university was the pirates and this particular fraternity was created and nurtured by wole soyinka,it was all for the benefits of its members then along the line problems and mis understanding came in as it is bound to happen in every organization which could later go on to destroy such organization if the problem is not properly managed.the latter was the problem with the pirates as they could not manage to resolve thier differences so they went on to segregate or separate with the newly formed group know as the buccaneers or sealords and could as well be called(brothers across nation),as time passed by some members of the pirates confraternity started to denounce their membership and equally started to join the buccaneers populary know as the sealords,from their other groups started forming theirs, though these confraternities often were fighting against each other but the weapon of their warfare was only limited to their fist,no one used weapons on themselves except their hands or fist.it continued this way until the eiye confraternity came into the University of ibadan and meanwhile all these the reason behind the formation of all these fraternity was to fight against the bad eggs in the Nigerian citidal of learning,it was targeted at lecturers who asked for bribe from students as a form of helping them pass their exams but this was changed later during the babangide military coup, having noticed and seen that it was only the confraternity in our campuses were capable of putting the lecturers to order decided to use them to silence some of the lecturers who against his government,he gave them financial assistance and even empowered them with so many weapons of destruction.
The students in return used these things to fight against lecturers who were not loyal and who were as same time criticising the evil way they carried out governance.After they military regime was over these cult groups having spreaded across the whole universities then started to use these weapons that were given to them to cause havoc on their fellow,some even went into stealing as their was no longer sources of funding,and this was the breaking point for all cult related cases,and this now brings us to the order of the day,now that it has spread in every hook and cranny of the society, teenagers are no longer left out in this menance today,funny enough nothing destroys the youths of tody more than this once good organization that has gone on to become the devil itself.today those who see themselves as the point one or capon or anything their leaders sees or call themselves instead of protecting the interest of their members now exploit them by placing a specific amount as dues which are paid monthly, weekly as the agreement of that particular sect is. Most of the leaders even go as far as sending their juniors to go and steal,now I ask again gentlemen and Gentlemen in skirts what exactly do these young people benefit from cultism.
Seeing stories of cult clashes every day on the national dailes with so many dead after their clashes makes me to weep,but gone are the days I used to weep for them after seeing that the younger ones still troop in with the cult groups enticing them with power,fame,money and then women but after initiation one is only left to imagine all of these things promised to them.Having seen that this thing has eaten far into the roots and stem of our youths in the name of carried entity,the best thing would be for people or relevant ngo to start a campaign against cultism where those who are about joining would be advised heavily on the reasons why the should not near such groups.
I end by stating that it is better for one to be a jew and enjoy life to the fullest rather than for one to be a carried entity and live In constant fear as the end place for a cultist is either death it prison.
Gentleman and gentlemen in skirts as you read please don't fail to advise those who are related to you to desist from any thing that would lead one into joining.

The wickedness of Nigerian leaders (politicians).
Nigeria commonly referred to as the giant of Africa is the world's most populous black nation and as well the world's poverty capital. This great nation used to be a flourishing nation until the discovery of oil in large quantities.it was perhaps the discovery of oil that led us into this mess,before the days of the oil boom,thier was much transparency and accountability in the system as a result of minimal flow in of money but immediately after the discovery of the whole thing went south,due to the high influx of money and other mouth watering deals the oil boom era brought with itself.Our leaders started to misappropriate our finances,it started with the claim of corruption by an army officer by name nzeogwu kaduna who eventually organized a coup and over three the tafawa belewa and Nmadi Azikiwe led administration,so many prominent politicians were killed in that coup but this cleansing did not still bring about the required change we were all clamouring for,instead it urshered in a more deadly sophisticated leaders who have no iota of concise into the system. We thought it was said that the military had zero tolerance for looting or greed but what happened has so far changed that narrative,ranging from the likes of Abacha and so many of them who looted the nation beyond repair.
They funny thing about this whole looting or rather corruption of a thing is that Nigerians still come back to hail them.few days ago,a war veteran who fought to keep Nigeria one,during his time at the healm of affairs in the Nigeria government,when the civil war of 1967 broke out,he did everything possible to make sure the country never disintegrated,he even printed papers and made teachers in public schools to always teach the pupils to say "keep Nigeria one" this man was seen and is still by many as a hero but just few days ago we were made to understand that he stole half of central bank and stored it in banks inthe united kingdom and some other countries,now you begin to wonder if truely he merited to be seen as a object of national unity.then I ask again"where do we get this kind of evil hearted men's?,we have equally witnessed what happened during the time of obasanjo as the president when he tired to bribe the senate members into creating room for him to go a third time,even after converting operation feed the nation farm into his own and using the nation's finances to fund his investment,a look at ibrahim badamos house in niger state as well points to the same corruption we are all out fighting against,now I asked again 'why are we so wicked'.One of the members of the late Abacha family who ruled Nigeria during the military era once said during the time the government moved in to recover the stolen money that was starched away in foreign bank accounts that 'no matter how much they take from her husband's bank accounts she can't be as poor as dangote"meanwhile dangote is the richest man in Africa and the 58 in the whole wide world. Going further down we witnessed yet another scandal called malab scandal in which some of our political leaders were equally pointed accusing fingers by the united States of america,those that were pointed accusing fingers at includes the wife of the current president Aisha buhari,atiku and some many others.Now the country is going deeper into the mess those who came before did, during the tenure of the immediate past president Good luck ebere jonathan we all heard about how the aviation minister spent a whopping 500 million naira on two cars and when questioned she said it was for security reasons.we equally till this very day seen how a minister is said to have stolen up to billions of naira though she is yet to be repatriated due to her dual citizenship. Again we equally witnessed how an officer in the name of dasuki diverted the money giveto him to purchase military arms that would be used to fight the boko haram insurgence inthe north into his own account.Even the wife of the formal president is not left out too as so many accusations have been brought up against her with the account of one of her business enterprises frozen.where Is Nigeria even headed as a nation. Coming to the reality on ground,we have a president who sworn to fight corruption by all means but yet he is surrounded by corrupt elements,he made promises to us that he would bring down the price of premium motor spirit to 70naira and would equally make a dollar to be equal to one naira 100naira not,he promised us that their would be 24hour silly of electricity but what we keep experiencing is the opposite of what he promised,this administration has succeded in throwing the once most performing and flourishing economy into a deep debt that even upto our next generation may not be able to pay.His excellency even promised us that by the time his done we would wish to elongate his tenure but what we are currently witnessing with liars in every corner of his government who continue to cover up the evil ils of this wicked government.A clear case of the wicked of these men in government was displayed during the lock down period when other nations were busy feeding their citizens, giving them money to enjoy themselves and encouraging them to stay at home since they ve been provided with all they needed but the Nigerian government could not give anything to her citizens instead the ones that were donated by well meaning Nigerians were equally stashed away by the state governors while people were dropping dead as a result of both hunger and unnecessary killings by the security forces.the clamour for state policing and resource control is now an issue of the past.wickedness in high places,now coming back from the lockdown,other countries were busy granting financial assistance to their citizens while we down here were being taxed the more,some universities were even adding money to their school fees in the name of coronavirus prevention fee and just today a governor said he would be slashing the salary of civil servants in the state by 50% .while not slash the borgia amount of money they receive and leave these civil workers who barely survive on thier salary.which way Nigeria.if I continue to pour it out as it is I doubt tis forum would be enough to contain it.the devil is already afraid of Nigerian politicians because the level of wickedness being shown and perprated by them is second to none.their lies,gree, self-centeredness is over whelming. May God deliver us all.

A look into my little life
I was born in the late 90s.I grew up just like every other child that was born back then did,growing up we played son many games that were fun, licking of sand was so popular back then that a child would hardly go without it,despite the ugly things we were told could happen to us if we continued to do such but non happened sha.we were told not to swallow the seed in African Apple that it could germinate inside our stomach lols,we were equally told not to swallow the seed of so many fruits like african apple,cocoa and so many others that it could germinate but we went ahead taking all of these,the only headache it gave to us was that during the time for dedication one could hardly exgest without feeling some pains typically caused by how large the fruit is. Then we equally involved ourselves in so many manners of play which included,permit me to name them exactly what we used to call them back in those days,one was swell,war start, cooking and all of those funny things ,sadly enough children of nowdays hardly indulge except those born in rural areas.we equally played deep into the nights without our parents getting worried about us,. Though I attended a private school where assignments are something else,it never deterred me from joining my colleagues who were attainding commercial schools to play.i created time for myself irrespective of how small I was then,I was equally the studious type as I never went below the 5th position in my class.
I grew up in a street where most of the young inhabitants belong to one confraternity or the other,the vikings and the aye were the major ones operating then,the street where I lived was ran by the vikings populary know as the aro baggers,the lord as the claimed was living in my street and was even a close friend of mine,I could recall a particular day he showered me the two guns he had,we were so close that when ever we went to play ball at the primary school field we used as the football playing ground,I would be the one whom he would entrust all his belongings to,not minding the fact that as a lord they claimed he was,he was supposed to be giving it to those whom he was superior to but instead was always choosing me to keep all those things for him.
Back in those days their was this guy whom was a member of another fraternity though they played ball together were equally always seen fighting as a result of supremercy, though the never belonged to the same fraternity but then both were equally respected among their equals.a particular Sunday came and as usual we went to cheer them up only to be sent back by the fighting of this two demons in human form.Some time later okwute though not the real name left the city after he got series of death threatening messages from those whom he had wronged,so he left for another city or would I say he ran to another city for safety.then the one that belonged to the bagger or vikings never stopped instead he started growing longer wings to the extent of shooting some of his fellow cult members who failed to do his bidding or those who displayed fear inthe face of danger.He went as far as even forcing people to pay for the drinks he took with his gang members In which the person who was forced is harassed if the person fails to comply with his directive. He was eventually shot dead by a rival fraternity on the day some university students matriculated after so many trials and errors the riva gang did to make sure he was 'wasted' as they would say while referring to killing someone.he was shot twice on the chest and was abandoned by his friends who were with him that night.gradually peace started to return back to the hood.these guys helped in shaping my life and equally exposing me to the disadvantages of joining it or becoming a member of any confraternity,I learnt some of the ways the operated,learnt how to turn down the offer of joining any confraternity politely if called upon to join. I still remember how the mum was crying during the day the guy was buried cause he was the only son,but the mum as well forgot that her son equally made so many mothers cry by killing their sons too.
My secondary school too was fun,here I concentrated more and was always coming out top in my class,I even had to change my school thinking that it was because the competition wasn't much lols but then in my new school I still continued to brake records came second only once,was even made the school prefect despite the fact that I joined when u was in ss1.
Gentlemen and Gentlemen in skirts this was how my child hood was spent,now I'm in one of the federal universities in the country currently languishing at home due to the Asuu strike!.Such a pity.And when ever school resumes I still have some unfinished business to attend to,can't wait till then.

My journey into the cryptocurrency world.
I have been always skeptical about anything that has to do with online business apart from mini importation after I was scammed off my money by people who claimed to work and earn online. This happened to me sometime back in 2018 and that changed the little faith and hope I mustered to venture into online business.I would really say that it was the era of the reign of ponzi scheme as I was among those who were scammed off their hard earned money.For someone like me,I was scammed off my entire savings.
After this whole incidents then came the rise in bitcoin,people were busy buying bitcoin here and there but some and not all were encountering some challenges in the area of looking for good and trusted agents to buy their bitcoins from them.As time passed by bitcoin was increasing in value and was becoming a popular mode or means of payment but something started to piss off my friends who were in the system and what was that?
Lols dem never see anything,they high rate on commission charged or fee involved in processing the bitcoin became rediculously high,one could end up loosing so much on bitcoin if he was to process directly into his local bank account.So they two options they had was not helping,it was either to sell directly to buyers or exchange it in the system and both ways were a loose loose game,so they started pulling off thier minds from they area of bitcoin and were looking towards the direction of any other online investment that could payoff very well.So they started making a lot of enquires on what to put their hard earned money in.then came the year 2019, towards the end of 2019,they went into investing in ethereum since ethereum was displaying some certain level of acceptability and was equally getting noticed in the crypto world.Then with the coming in of the pandemic corona virus which led to a stand still in the whole world,almost all the nations of the world went as far as ordering a nation wide lockdown which lasted for a few months,it was during this period that my friends went deeply into investing in ethereum, though since then ethereum has been rising in value and in acceptability but another thing that scares investors off as I was told by my friends and from the researchies I carried out my self was equally the cost of transaction.
It was not until last month that I stumbled on this site where someone told me I could get paid for writing articles but I must confess I wasn't serious because of the encounter I have had coupled with my past ugly experiences on online ways of Making money,then after sometime I then decided to give it a trial,then I wrote my first article and left without bordering to check back on it since the person who introduced me into the system told me that it could take up to two weeks before I would start earning,then at the end of that day I decided to just take a glance at it and to my amazement I was seeing a dollar staring at me.i was like 'hey is this for real or another way set up to milk us of our data since we were not asked or instructed to make any payments as regards registration fee.then after I saw my first dollar I went in to make enquires and then came to understand that this wonderful site pays using bitcoin cash, though I hadn't heard much about bitcoin cash as at that time,I decided to read up about it and from the information I gathered I came to find out that the coin was and is readily available for carrying out business transactions,then I decided to transfer the money from my readcash account to my bitcoincash wallet in order to ascertain if it was real or some kind of manipulation but then after some few seconds the money landed in my bitcoincash wallet,I was short of words I didn't know where or how to start explaining so I started showing my friends the site and even went as far as convincing them to join and start making some dollars no matter how little.
As if that was not enough,I was already happy with my latest findings that I could be able to make money comfortably by just writing articles,I started to monitor how bitcoincash works how stable it is and all of that,and again I became amazed as it was doing pretty fine above the bitcoin, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies so I decided to withdraw the money to my local bank account but the transaction fee was little compared to that of Bitcoin,it was then I made up my mind to stick to bitcoin cash and right now I have taken it upon my self to make sure that Bitcoincash survives since I have also bought someone my wallet by convincing my friends to invest in it and so far I and my team are doing wonderfully fine.Dear bitcoincash rocks and I'm sticking with it.
Thank you marcdemesel for providing us with this wonderful experience!.
A closer look at the fallen giant of Africa"Nigeria".
Nigeria is the most populous black nation in the world and equally holds the record for the most populous country in africa, it's youth are third in popular slightly behind China and india,with a population of over 200milion citizens,Nigeria is perhaps the china of Africa in population. Located in the west african part of afrca,Nigeria is home to so many native languages and majorly three different tribes which are the yoruba,hausa and the igbos.
Early begining
Before the coming of the white men into Nigeria,these three tribes existed solely on their own without any clash or dispute,they were leaving on thier own,with the igbos mostly Christians, yoruba was practicing mixed religion and the hausa's were mostly moslems,each tribe carried out it's business peacefully until the coming of the british.Though Nigeria was colonised by the british, history has it still that the portuguese had their businesses here in Nigeria before the british came.After the coming of the british into Nigeria, the southern and the northern protectorates were amalgamated or joined together to form the country "Nigeria" the name Nigeria was derived from the niger river and then area was added to it peherps it could be said to be a river area.the colour of the Nigerian flag is white and green. Lord Fredrick lugard served as the first colonial leader of Nigeria.then so many others followed up to marcpherson and the rest of then who administered or rather did the bidding of the british government.With it's capital territory based in Calabar,one of the oil rich states in the country,the british through the leadership of Lord lugard appointed some people whom were mostly respected and held in higher ground by their people to help in running the government of Nigeria.
Independence era
During the time that these white men were ruling Nigeria some persons from Nigeria travelled abroad to complete their study,the likes of Nnamdi Azikiwe,Awolo and the rest of them so after the came back to Nigeria having completed their studies abroad,they started campaigning for the independence of Nigeria which britain later gave to them in 1960. In 1963 Nigeria became a republic nation.just before the independence Nigeria was know all over the world as one of the highest producer of palm oil.Palm oil was the major source of revenue of the Nigeria government.then came the oil boom which made the Nigerian government so surprised as the money being realised from oil was way more than that which they were Making from palm oil,the oil boom brought with it so many advantages and disadvantages which the latter supersedes, initially the oil boom brought more money at the disposal of the Nigerian government,it gave room for realistic projects to be carried out,but along the line the problem of unaccountability came in.
How it all started.
Just six years into our independence,those who were elected to rule started misappropriating the money meant for the good of the whole Nigeria populace,some of the big political heavy weights we had then were Nnamdi Azikiwe,obafemi Awolowo,Michael okpara,ahmadu bello,aboubaka tafawa belewa,chief sir samuel akintola and so many others whom I may not be able to remember.These politicians started smuggling the Nigerian currency outside the shores of the country until their bank accounts. As a result of what was going on,five soldiers from the Nigerian army took it upon themselvs to get rid of these calibre of men who were hell bent on dryiny the economy of the country.This coup was led by an igbo man by name major kaduna nzeogwu,Nmadi Azikiwe was the president while tafawabale was the prime minister then,the coup led by Nzeogwu had almost all the political heavyweights from other parts of the country except the igbos eliminated,major nzeogwu tagged it 'cleansing'immidiately after the coup the most senior officer in the Nigerian military in the person of Aguiyi ironsi took over and became the first military head of state, after six months due to the fact that it was tagged an igbo coup thier was yet another coup led by the Nigerian soldiers who were from the north and they succeeded in overthrowing and killing the military head of state then in the person of Aguiyi ironsi,this led to the becoming of head of states by Gowon. But then thier was already tension everywhere the easterners living in the northern states of kaduna,kano and so many other northern states.Meanwhile Gowon was already the military head of Nigeria and due to the fact that ojukwu was his friend,they both dined and wined together,they were even room mates chose him or had him appointed as the primier of the Eastern region,meanwhile the killing of those igbos in the northern states was becoming something else, ojukwu had to go and defend his people,he called on his friend and military head of states Gowon to interven and stop the incessant killing of the igbos by the hausa's,he believed solely that Gowon had the power to stop it but Gowon did little or nothing about it. Therefore the two parties decided to hold a meeting outside the shores of the country due to the fact that ojukwu was afraid of going to the west or the north since it was hot,so the settled for ghana and thier an agreement was reached,some of the things discussed there included
1) protection of the igbos and their properties in any part of the country
2) Control of resources by regions
3)how those in military would be promoted and so on and so forth.
After this agreement was reached Ojukwu and Gowon came back to Nigeria and Ojukwu expected Gowon to start acting based on the agreement they had in Ghana at a place called"Aburi accord"but the killing never stopped so as a result ojukwu then declared the eastern part of Nigeria as the republic of Biafra,this triggered Gowon and those who were in government as their was no place that talked about successionist in the Nigerian constitution.As a result the federal Government of Nigeria declared war on the biafrans,the war started in 1967 and lasted for 3years,during the course of the war so many countries were giving Nigeria ammunitions such as russia,britain and so many others but the biafra people being innovative in nature developed her amour within a few months with the Little resources they had,worthy of note is that the United States of america helped in providing relief and food items to the biafrans . Ojukwu was the one leading the war but before the war began he had released Nzeogwu who was imprisoned by the Nigerian government due to the coup he led. Also so many prisoners were freed then to help in the fight for the freedom of biafra,the biafrans even with the little ammunitions they had and they ones they took from the hands of dead Nigeria soldiers were able to pursue them as far as ore and where immediately heading to Lagos before the lost the battle as a result of betrayal. As the Nigerian government sensed what was happening the then adopted the use of hunger as a weapon in fighting the biafrans ,they had their food supplies cut off,then hunger set in and affected over 2million biafran children and women,so many children suffered from kwashiorkor as a result of this. Worthy of note is a biafrans colonel by name "achuzie"he was referred to as a cannibal,he was something else in battlefield,he used the famous biafra bomb named "ogbu nigwe and dealt ruthlessly with the Nigerian soldiers at headbrigde onitsha killing over hundreds of thousands of Nigerian soldiers in a day.Rumor has it his body melted bullets. Few months into the war major nzeogwu kaduna we killed,he was equally given a befitting burial by the Nigerian led by Gowon.As a result of the betrayal of the biafra struggle and seeing the need to escape, ojukwu left biafra for cote d'ivoire,it was after three days that it came to the minds of people that he had abandoned the war.The biafra soldiers later surrendered on the 13th of January1970.Though it was not done by ojukwu but by major general philip effong. They Nigerian government gave the biafran soldiers a warm welcome and Gowon in his speech stated that he has always seen biafra as brothers and at such was making use of the word rebels on them instead of calling them something else.Ojukwu was later pardoned and was given a befitting burial by the Nigerian government after his death in a London hospital inthe year 2011.
Early 2000s
Thirty years after the civil war between Nigeria and biafra ended,a man by name uwazurike from imo state took up the struggle for the sovereignty of the biafran people. He is the pioneer founder of massob,a group whose main interest is the restoration of the biafra nation.so many of it's members were killed in the eastern part of the country especially in anambra state during the time of peter Obi with obasanjo as the president of Nigeria.Then came thr ipob which is led by mazi Nnamdi kalu,the agitation for the emancipation of the biafra is still on.
During the last days of military form of rule,and the coming into power of the obasanjo regime, things were beginning to get bad again until during the time of umar musa yar'adua ,it was in his time that Nigeria experienced positive change.the prices of products were gradually beginning to become affoibu most Nigerians as the issue of petrol scarcity and buying of it at rediculous high price was beginning to be reviewed before the wicked hands if death took him away from us.
Present day
Nigeria is today in one of the worst recession it has ever witnessed, according to our financial advisors,the issue of the "endsars"which led to the death of so many people who took active part in the protests .What are we asking for? We are asking that the Nigerian government should
1)end bad governance
2)stop paying bogus salary to those we elected to represent us both in the upper and lower chamber
3) transparency
4) involvement of the youth in politics
5) creation of jobs for the teaming youths.
6)review of salary of the police force.
I believe that doing the things we have asked of them , Nigeria will not just Better but one of the best.

The war of pandemic against humanity
Pandemic has always been a reoccurring event,it leaves this century and then comes back to hunt people in the following century,before we go into a brief history of it,it would be wise for us to have a clear picture of what we are facing is like.
Countless number of times,people have always been faced by the explanation of epidemic and pandemic,so here is a clear as crystal definition of both so as to be properly guided when the need to explain one extensively arises.
Epidemic could be defined as a widespread disease or disorder that affects many individuals in a population,that's to say it affects people who are confined in a particular or specific location where as Pandemic is defined as a widespread epidemic or disease over a wide geographic area and affecting a larger amount or proportion of the population. Now let's dive into some of the pandemics that left a scar on the face of the world before eventually leaving to wait for some time to return. On our list we have the first as the 1918 fluid pandemic popularly called the spanish fluid which infected 500milion people about a third of the world's population at that time in a successive four waves attack. This Pandemic last for about a year and few months,it started in February in the year 1918 and ended in April of the following year.Spanush flu really dealt with the world,so many dead bodies litered the streets and shallow grave was the other of the day then.Though some scientist had already argued about the deatlth of so many people who died that year not to have been killed by it citing the war which ended shortly before the pandemic which made the immune system of individuals then weak and also there were not drugs in circulation or shortage of drugs in circulation as the world just started to heal from the devasting effect the war had on people then. Most pandemic outbreak normally affect the very old and the infant young,but the spanish flu did the reverse,it went on a killing spree , killing young adults and at the end of the pandemic,it's on records that more infant young people were kids by it when compared to the very old amongst them.Some analyses have shown the virus to be particularly deadly because it triggers a cytokine storm.whuch ravages the stronger immune system of young adults.They spanish flu was the first of the two pandemics caused by H1N1 jnfluiA virus and the second was the 2009 swine flu pandemic.
Coronavirus was and still is a case of another global pandemic though not as deadly as those before it,most of this pandemics is mostly carried or infected to humans by animals due to their coronavirus came in when the world least expected,we were largely unprepared for it though some prominent people had already warned that such could happen or take place such as bill gates who through thier family's outreach center"bill and the melinda"gate laid some much emphasis on it.He was of the opinion that nation's of the world should stop investing in weapons of canal welfare but should invest massively in research as to know and get prepared incase anything pandemic was to take place.So many European countries such as spain,italy, England and so many others were and are still at the receiving ends of this Though African countries are lucky it is not having a field day here but they should have atleast made use of this ample opportunity to go into research inorder to get the reason behind their low mortality rate.Some of the countries in the European continent are still trying to impose yet another lockdown where as africa has moved on from it.Africa instead of working tremendously to see if it could get a cure to this have folded it's her in anticipation that the white man would come up with the cure someday which the country russia are already making progress at.Black man's mentality was really revealed during the lock down era in Nigeria as most of the palliative people gave even those from the western world who were at the receiving end of it were all stocked up by the government.Dea africa let's go back to the board and try to correct where the mistakes started from.

A look at the Nigerian fading hip hop Music.
Hip hop music dates back to the early 1900s in africa as a result of the early influence of the whites men in africa. Though it came to Nigeria later but what drived the Nigerian youths into the hip hop music was un employment as this music gained popularity in Nigeria during the time of military regime. Their was lack of work or jobs for those graduating from the University so the youth decided to invest in themselves through the rap music. One could record good music and make some money off it because of how cheap it was then to make music and even the video for the music and again their was little or no concern about piracy,so one made his money from music then.The founding fathers of the rap music in Nigeria were 'dj kool,bambata and grandmaster flash,this three started mixing the rap music with pidgin and even some adding thier dielect to it although the dielect part wasn't that popular until platumshum bois,eldee the don if trysbe,eEedris Abdulkareem and so many others.hip hop was used to entertain the audience and was equally used to criticize the government.Later in the 1990s it began to gain more recognition in the Nigerian community as the result of the influex of some artists who came back from the diaspora such as naeto c,jjc ,419 squard and so many others who immediately started changing the rap music from just English to any language the deemed fit such as Yoruba,igbo or any other language the audience could understand.They used the rap music to express themselves and equally to voice out the errors of the government.
As time passed by so many other artists started going into hip hop,the likes of MI Abagana, vector the puppet,Mode 9 and so many others to the rap game across the shores of Nigeria into being acceptable across the countries in africa,the Nigerian hip hop started to get massive airplays in almost all the countries in africa,with mode9 and eEedris at the fore front of it and Mi was busy developing himself until he was ready, immediately He was ready he started shuning out good rap music that were so melodies and at same time passing a strong message.MI went ahead to become the best rapper in the whole of Africa which he dominated for so many years before he started to mentor his record label mate 'ice Prince,Ice as he fondly calls himself did not let his master down he took off mixing English with pidgin and with his oyibo like accent he soon became a house hold name.Ice still went on to become the best rap artist in africa with the wining of the "BET awards' he continued to shun out bangers after bangers,the oleku singer began to dwindle as it is the case with musicians as your glory would not last for ever, Vector the puppet was equally witnessing the same thing as ice prince though Ice prince had gone in to the international level.All of these urchered in jessy jagzz the brother of MI though people claimed jessy has a better lyrics than Mi but then his inability to maintain consistence which is the backbone of the music industry made look like one who was wandering in the wilderness of rap music looks.Dagrin equally took the scene though he majored in rapping with his dialect which was Yoruba and his time was cut short though he made name before going.Dagrin was and still remains the pioneer of native rap music inr the contemporary Nigeria music industry.
Olamide soon came on the stage and immediately became a house hold name with songs like "illuminati,omotoshom and this particular song which I'm yet to remember,he became a beast instantly in the game . Shuning out wonderful music was all olamide was doing,baddo was felt in all the hook and cranny of the society, hardly could there be a party without him being invited.then phyno came on stage with his album no guts no glory and they continued to adhere strictly to the rap game without having double standards.or compromising the statuesquo of the game. Listening to them was very wonderful and I would say that I was previlegde to have listened to the Nigerian system of rap music when it was good unlike what we have now, rappers are now singers with no shame again ,as a result one of the fathers of the game 'Mi , poured out his dislike of the hip hop musician through his single titled'fix up your life,even after the yabbing some if not most of them are still busy replacing their original rap logo with Afro pop apart form Falz who has shown us that rap is his calling and has remained true to it.please let us go back to the era when rappers were rappers and not singers.

A look at Political activism in Nigeria
So many countries are where they are today as a result of how good they handled those who were aspiring and pushing for a better governance by their leaders.before we go ahead let's just take a closer look at the definition of activism.
Activism consist of efforts to impede,to oppose or to direct or intervene in a social, political, economic or environmental reforms with the desire to making changes in society towards a perceived greater good.Now we can all see from the definition that activism is mainly a tool to check the excesses of the government, people who engage in this are called activist. Activism in Nigeria is seen and treated as taboo by the Nigerian elites and leaders.they see anybody or any group complaining about the bad management of the resources of the coinyas an enemy of the state.
Over the years so many men have led down their life in a bid to make sure that Nigeria is a better place where we can all beat our hands to our chest and call a home,but this has failed we have seen so many evil vices happened in the past but yet our leaders whom we called on to serve have turned around to make themselves masters at the detriment of the Nigerian masses not withstanding the promises and the glory our heroes who fought for our independence saw and where on the way to archiving that if not that their days on earth was cut off.:Death is equally a necessity'.let'stake a look at some of the persons who picked up the courage to speak against the barbaric actions of the Nigerian government.
One of the persons to have championed a curse for a better Nigeria whose life was cut Is 'ken saro wiwa,'Ken a writter,a businessman and an activist pushed for a better Nigeria just shortly after he served as the civilian administrator in the bonny camp during the civil war Nigeria had with the eastern people called biafra.ken so much believed in one Nigeria that the tv station he had was promoting togetherness as one could hardly tell the state his workers came from.he believed in creating a Nigeria that would be a home for all.Baba failed though.He once qouted to"i tell you this:even though I am dead my ideas will never die.Ken was eventually killed because he was speaking against the terrible behavior of the Nigerian military and equally against the shell petroleum company on the pollution of the niger delta land with compensating it's victims.nwxt on our line is chinua achebe .
Achebe is perhaps one of the greatest novelist of his time ,his book things fall apart was a master piece and perhaps one of the most highly read books in contemporary literature.He championed vigorously for the emancipation of the Nigerian people from the claws and shackles of bad governance,he blamed the leaders for being docile and equally of not being innovative and honest in thier dealing,his book 'thier was a country is a guide to knowing the truth about the state of Nigeria.Another avid activist was fela juri who advocated good governance through his songs,at one time fela was said to be making moves inorder to become the president of Nigeria.He was the mouth piece of the oppressed,he spoke against the evils of the government without fear,and was eventually thrown into the prison though he came out die to the petitions and the various protests held across the country.he used his music to fight against the evil vices of the government,even his house was a danger zone but all of these didn't stop or deter him from speaking up,he once said 'i want peace and happiness not only for my self but for everybody.
Notable of the fight for a good nation is wole soyinka 'the man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tgranny.His achievement in literature and political activism confirms to this.as a 33year old.soyinka was sentenced to prison and was really after nearly spending two years behind bars,he fled the country sometime latter in1994 when the military government declared him wanted stating charges of treason for criticising the juanita.Never to be forgotten is Gani fawehinmi.He was the attorney,he fought massively for the poor,at a point he was dealing on cases of the poor freely without collecting charges from them.Gani went through hell ,he was thrown into prison countless number of times but he still continued in what he was doing,his library was burnt,his travel passport ceased but all these could not deter him as he continued to search for ideas on how to defend the poor. Other notable persons in this struggle include adiche chimamanda,aisha yusufu and so many others who I couldn't mention.i summerize by letgyus know that no man is an iceland of knowledge so is also no government is an iceland of knowledge,the government should be opened to criticism wheather negative,and should try as much as theu can to correct thier mistakes.

When the Eagle in the Nigerian male national team was super.
They Nigerian national team nicknamed'super eagles' represents Nigeria in men's football and they leadership of this team is done the the Nigerian football federation commonly abbreviated NFF.This great team have won the highest trophy in the africa called the african cup of the nation's thrice with this great team winning it last against Burkina faso in the year 2013.when they Eagle in our national team was still super,this team went on to sit the highest ranking position by any foot ball national team to come out from Africa which was the fifth position.Though the Eagles have lost the super inthe name but that history has not yet been broken.since the Nigerian national team started to participate in the world cup,they have participated in all six out the seven which was in 2006 with their last in the just concluded 2018 world cup.The first international game the Nigerian national team played was against Sierra lone where the Nigerian team beat their rivals by 2 goals to nothing.The team's biggest win came ten years later against Dahomey known as benin now,this particular match was played in Nigeria,lagos pricesly where the national team had a field day beating their opponents by 10 goals to one.this result I would say was to clear the mess or perhaps ease the shame that the Ghana national team gave to us give four years before that match where the super Eagles were trashed to a humiliating seven goals to nothing by the Ghanaian National team.lol e get as this result be oooh.i doubt if the story of the super Eagles would be complete with bringing on this on table .
Nigerian lost the 1984 and 1988 cup of African nation's to cameroon.So to say we ve given the cameroonians two cups on the platter of gold, Nigerian my country I hail thee.This image of once this great team had undergone much evolution throughout it's before the independence which we gained far too early our national jersey was topped with red and as a result we were called the red devil's lol,blue devils kor.where many dey for league table.Shortly after the independence the red in the Nigerian national team was change courtesy of the green and the absence of red in the Nigerian national flag.the Nickname was no longer the 'red devil's'but had already been changed to 'green eagles'.this continued until after the nation's cup of 1988 Nigeria now decided to add super to the eagle as the result of the eagle we have in our coat of Nigeria's common rivalry in the world of national football to date remains the Ghanaian National football team.Ghana don beat shegge comot for our eyes lol.Another at the international level that Nigeria has play so many times against is the argentine national team who have won the world cup twice,we have been paired alongside this dreaded team inthe same group stage five out if the six times we managed to qualify for the world cup.in all five Nigeria was trashed although by a narrow goal margin.with the last win of the argentina national league which tok place two years again during our group stage where we failed to qualify as a result of the lackadaisical attitude and the stupid display of ighalo towards the goal post of the argentines. Though the infamous VAR had a hand in it by disallowing the penalty that everybody who watched that match that night witnessed including the opponent.Nigeria were unable to qualify again as a result of this match that they had already won if not for thier poor displays towards goal post.Ahmed musa was a key player in the match,he was seen running almost every where in that match.
Now going back to where the national team got it wrong is what our parents who happened to have witnessed the likes of rakidi rasheni play,the likes of kanu nwakwo known populary as 'pipilor,jay jay okocha,austin ayegbemi ,this list would not be complete without mentioning our late coach who once played for the national team,we are talking about stephen keshi.
What we are yet to understand how the current players we have in our today's team have failed to reciprocate what the ones before them did though there are still a handful who are patriotic like Mikel obi who played a match even after getting the information that his father was kidnapped.we have equally heard so many times and even seen in papers where numerous prostitutes do beckon on the super Eagles to come have sex with them even before the beginning of matcha which the players are quite aware zaps a lot of energy needed for them to archive a desired results.We saw this take place in the last match they played in which they were leading by 4 to zero but came into the second half and concede four, gentlemen and gentlemen in skirts please permit me to say that if another extra 10minutes was given in that match, Nigeria would have lost.so where do we begin the cleansing

A look at the Nigerian Music industry from 2000s up
The Nigerian music industry is the name used to recognize music acts from Nigeria so when ever the word Nigeria music is mentioned what comes to mind is The Nigeria music artists.
They Nigeria music industry though dated back to the early nineteen century was made popular by fela kuti,fela was the one behind the modern music we enjoy today in Nigeria.After three years into his music career,he left the shores of Nigeria to america where he learnt how to put everything about afropop music under his control,when he came back he became practically invisible as he was releasing hits after hit at the same speaking for the masses against bad governance,as a result of his criticism against the government he was sentenced to five years in prison though he served for only two years before he was released as a result of massive protest by both Nigerians at home and in diaspora, immediately he came out from prison fela went on to divorce his twenty eight saying that no 'man owns the female sex organ'.Though fela was rumored to have died of Aids but never the less the modern day music we enjoy today was urshered in by him.
So let's dive into the music of today,how it all started lol,tuface idibia formed the platumshum bois with black face and so many others who worked hard to put back the Nigerian music industry into limelight but could not until tuface managed to come up with a banger titled my 'African Queen',this song wasa massive banger in Evey nook and cranny of re the society to the extent that the wife of the president decided to reward this promising talent then with lots of cash gift.Tuface did not stop after this but went on to bring in more and more hits which catapulted the Nigerian music industry,as tubaba as fondly called now was at it other artists started waves too such as the likes of the group called Danfo Drivers , rappers started dating the game to such as Sky B and the rest but this one was outside among equals then.Tubaba and these good artist continued to dominate the Nigerian music industry until the early 2006 to 2007 when the latter started fading the my baby crooner was no where to be found again, though he tried to win his way back to the industry on so many attempts but was unfortunate, the same was the fate of the Danfo Drivers,the lost it all,then African china was also making hits here and there and at same time criticising the government, rumored had it that one of our ex president had wanted to kill him after singing the hit song 'Nigeria jaga jaga'.after this era.The era of Afro beat was urshered in, this time the koko master popularly called d'banj came on board.
Kennis music was still doing wonderful things with tuface when d'bang who formed a music group with don Jazzy came on board ,D banJ started breaking records and limit by his single titled'cocoa and chocolate'this song not only topped the charts back home but was the number one in the whole of Africa, perhaps this was the beginning of the projection of the Nigerian music industry to the world, unlike how it used to be with the playing of Nigerian songs by Nigerians,this time the whole african continent was vibeing and whinnying to the song which made it win so many awards both home and abroad.then came the two twins who were being managed by their elder brother.
Gentlemen and Gentlemen in skirts may we all give it to the boys who brought in Rick Ross.Psquare gained attention thier song titled'do me I do you man no go vex' this song was something else,you could hardly pass by any house who had sound system without hearing this wonderful melodies song meanwhile Tubaba,D banJ and Bracket were equally not left out as they were they heavy weights,these men did not give us space for dulling with thier good Music this continued,hits after hits made us forgot our worries as these men worked tirelessly to make sure our feet were on the ground shaking.Then other record labels started springing up such as EME,this particular record label has gone on the release the most popular musician to ever come out from Nigeria behind fela kuti.It had acts like wizkid,sales,chaddy,and so many other but Wizkid stood out among equals his prominent song titled 'holla at your boy'immediately became a house hold song,the city people's magazine had so many write-ups for him ,some called him the studio boy, others studio rats but in all his greatness had started with that song holla at your boy.He went in to back it up with tease me',this was just a free styling but it immediately gained attention.some notable songs include'pakurumo'which had one of the greatest actresses funke akindele in it.
Then another major star by name Davido started immediately with heavy duty songs such as 'back when'dami duro'.And so many other notable songs,Rappers were not equally dull ,M I,ice pince,naeto c,olamide were all smooching the whole country,raggae and dance hall which was made popular by majek fashack wasn't left out as A list acts such as Timaya,patoranking,burna boy, cynthia morgan the German juice crooner never allowed it to be a thing of the past.These artists have worked tirelessly and still working in order to ensure that the Nigerian Music industry is one to be feared and respected by the world.
So the Nigerian music would have been more or less dead without these players as they continue to out our country on the world map.

The good old days of NTA, Nigeria.
NTA broadcasting network is officially the Nigeria national television.Its main function is to always get the Over 200milion people living in Nigeria updated on the day to day running of the Government,the moves being made by powers that be, but it doesn't end at just the movements of the government,it also brings with it some entertainment programs to ease the burdens of the Nigerian populace after work as the time for airing a particular program could be.
This takes us straight to the topic of the day,we will be looking at all the various programs that made us fell in love with this news broadcasting network,let's start with the popular comedy series called PAPA AJASCO .
This aforementioned tv drama put smiles on the faces of so many Nigerians, it was a drama that I could easily give up my next meal just to make sure that I watched it.laughing and watching this wonderful drama went hand in hand that one could be thought to be mad by maybe some foreign who has not seen or watched the program.it was mainly about the four lead characters;papa AJASCO,mama AJASCO,their gate man and thier son who was synonymous for putting on a spectacle with two lens.This wonderful drama was made possible to err one our television screen by the wale adele production company.what happened to that made them stop airing this comic drama is what I'm yet to figure out.
Next in the line is titled SUPER STORY
This one was a killer back in the days,it was full of suspense,love, betrayal and everything that revolved around life . though emotional,the brand still made sure that it was a series one wouldn't think of missing the next round as it was mostly aired at night.I personally enjoy watching this drama as u could hardly see someone outside while the drama was going on.
Next on the line is face to face
This one was a killer,it was centered on the landlord and his tenants, automatically a Nigerian face me I slap you wahala.the long que early in the morning while going to the toilets and bathroom was something else.wahala for who no watch this wonderful edifying comic drama,I was particularly interested in the song lol.
Then came tinsel, though I have forgotten what this was all about never the less I still enjoyed it to the fullest,the beautiful characters,the nice sitting rooms and all of that,it was a drama that needed one not to miss.
Who still remembers the fridays show titled TALES BY MOONLIGHT that takes place on NTA by 5pm and ends by some minutes to 6.This one came in form of a story being told then by one baba, children would gather round him to tell them a story and then he would usher then in with us the viewers joining by watching it instead of baba telling it with his mouth.This one made me avoided going any where the moment it's 4:50pm ,I would start praying for light to come so I could watch it,a day missed was like something was removed from my body.Some of the stories told then are still fresh in my memory.
Then came the days of yet another programe which was educational, titled WHO WANTS TO TAKE A STEP.It was a competition on maths and vocational courses among schools aired on the national television every Sunday by I think 12pm or 1pm.I remembered getting out my pen and paper ready so I could solve along with them,I had some nice time watching all of those.
Then Maltina dance where the participants took part in dancing competition,with the winner going home with some mouth watering gifts,this was followed suit by MTN project fame where. a lots of music stars that we have today currently came out too from.The likes of Chidinma,Iyanyan,praize and so many others.
Then the Golder Ultimate search where participants are asked to look for a hidden item which the person who finds it goes home smiling.
All of these then urchered us into one of the best if not the best educative program joined with a bit of entertainment blended with suspense all through.
Gentle men and gentlemen in skirts we are talking about the famous WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE with Frank Edoh as the questionnaire,I could remember the day one answered a the questions correctly and went home with the complete cash.It was really a great night to remember.This program taught us too many educational contents but I still feel bad when ever I remember that it is no longer aired on the television again.
I conclude by pleading to the powers that be to bring back some of these programmes especially The latter with their let's go on a break palaver lol, who wants to be a millionaire.pls subscribe ooh.
Finance
This word has been on the lips of virtually every person who has reached the age he or she is expected to take up certain responsibilities in the family or environment where such person finds himself or her self,before I go I would love us to know the meaning of finance.
Finance is defined as the management of money and other assets,it could again be defined as a system of obtaining funds for carrying out some transactions.Every thing that has to do with finance centers on money,Money I would assume is finance itself.
So let's move back to the topic of the day.So many people have not been able to bring into existence their ideas as a result of finance, equally some who did but encountered difficulty or shortage of it in the long run are now back to square one so the issue is one to be taken into a deep research so that one can be able to maximize his or her goal along the line.Here are some laid down tools on how to get finance or I would call it money
1) Borrowing from one's family members or even from one's relations .
2)The money lending institutions such as microfinance banks and some institutions that offer credit facilities.
3)One could still go ahead and save part of his salary inorder to kick off a very good business.
Now achieving a goal or one's target depends on the decision made by such a person,negative decisions definitely would lead to the collapse of the business in most situation while it could even throw the person behind the business into unimaginable debts which leads to some health related problems. Now all of these then means that one must be very careful inorder not go the wrong way.
One of the mistakes that most people make all the time is Borrowing money from these financial institutions to fund their way of life,some borrow not because they want to invest but because they want to taste the life that they are not yet ready to fight for or willing to make sacrifices for ,u could imagine one going to borrow money inorder to burial a loved one which will inturn take a sharp cut on the borrower so is equally going to borrow money inorder to finance an ostentatious wedding ceremony and so on as the list is endless .Before one goes about borrowing money the reason or motive should be well ironed out and it shouldn't head in any other direction apart from using it to make money which along the line would be the best result for it.In the case of not having a well mapped out plan on how to invest the money,the person who happens to be in control of it should employ the work of a financial advisors who would go a long way in Making him cautious of how to manage his money inorder to miximize profit in the long or short run as the case maybe.
Though that so many people are equally afraid of Borrowing money due superstitious belief and others due to lack of credit facilities or unimaginable interest accrued to this money by the lending institutions.All of these would not deter a person whose passion and will to succeed is extremely high though we ve seen or come across so many articles where people claim that you don't need money to make money but the truth is that sometime somehow somewhere there would arise a need to borrow money inorder to build that empire u ve always dreamed about.
Life back in the early 2000s
The day normally starts with the hummingbirds which wakes us all from sleep that it's time to go face whatsoever that life has in store for us for that very day,then followed by going to the hand pumping borehole to fetch water since good water was not or would I say scarcely available.Then going to fetch water was normally done in group since it was all about love, group work and all of that.While fetching of water was the sole duty of the male child the females never hesisted in sweeping the house and washing the plates as their was division of labour, the system then was so unique that nobody needed to remind the other about his or her duty or duties as the case maybe, their was real love and unity unlike what we have today.the struggle wasn't about competition but was all about survival their was love.
They early morning chores would go on to end with the eating of breakfast and the going to mostly public schools by the young ones as obtainable then,slate was virtually seen in every household as it was the first place a growing child needed to exhibit his or her writing skill,not forgetting that it was usually done with the use of the chalk stick which could be of any color,then at sch pupils especially those of them in primary three(3) would be waiting eagerly for the break time to reach as it showed them the way to the door as the saw learning then a major heart attack,not withstanding all of these the still managed to make going to school a duty which must be carried out almost every day of the week teachers on the other hand carried out their duty with passion,they taught so eagerly then unlike today,they equally tried in spicing up learning through some activities like inter house sports and the school then was perhaps a place where discipline and good moral was inculcated into the young ones.the day's academic activity would go on to end with closing devotion.
Back home after school dismissal,some would go to help their parents at the market place while others would go home to play but at the end of the day,all would think it's all over but the children are not yet ready to go to bed,being the fact that thier was hardly a case of kidnap then and all lived in peace and hamony so their was less or no need for one to be afraid.They male ones among then would erect a house or houses with sticks and cover it with leafs,while the females would ensure that the kept it going by cooking pebbles and mixing it with water though they did cook real food in few occasions after which they would stay to play hide and seek which never ended until late into the night,a child aged eight would comfortably go and hid under pawpaw tree at the odd hour of the night with fear until he or she is caught or called to come out as a result of having cought another person.Parents never worried much about their children as they knew they were safe,life was genuinely lived and was worth leaving then.
The market place wasn't an exception too,people who had other things to do would spread their wares on thier table and would indicate the prices of their wares by just placing stones by its side,they would then come back in the evening only to find thier goods gone and their complete money staring at them,ooh what a time to be alive then, humans behaved like angels then, perhaps I would end by stating that their was a time honesty was the order of the day and prosperity thrived.Lets go back to the root.
