Sorry, studio closed until further notice

Egungun to ba koko jo iran lo ma wo gbehin.
It's gone all quiet on the 9ja music scene recently.
Ori awon boys ti gbe....
ko s'orin mo.
Ati eniti o lo gbarada, ati eyiti o je ahon enia for inspiration...nothing dey happen again.
Beats have been over-used
Hooks have been over-used
Lines/lyrics have been over-used
Dance steps have been exhausted

Since these talentless mofos cannot reason on their own, i see them waiting for somebody to go out there and hustle and bring something new again for them to 'dub'. But until that happens everything is at standstill.

In the meantime......

Dem don wrap their fake blings inside used newspaper sprinkled with dustin powder make im no rust.
They are running out of cash....and some of dem don return to their original profession-yahooing.
Even dem video vixens sef no get call ups again and majority of dem dey Dubai now where dem dey practise their other profession- Olosoing
Most of the beatmakers who call themselves producers are now DJ-ing in clubs and ikomos nigbati ko si ise mo.
It's however a good thing for Clarence Peters because im get time now to service im over-used cameras...and also get himself some sleep.
The satanic bloggers no too dey affected as boko-something people and activities within the presidency are keeping them going.

But wait o, i see some of dem running to the studio soon to sing about the bomb blast. Bookmark this page ....but until then, i like this peace we are having.

Let's po po po po- po po-po po something!

Wrong diagnosis, wrong treatment

Many folks think the problem with Nigeria is easy to solve, and even so the solution is in talking.

We are not speaking the same language to start with so how can we even undertand ourselves?
We are divided on so many fronts and we are simply forcing things to work.
We need to go back to the basics. Our problems are fundamentals.
Even if we must go to war we need to know the real reason(s) for it.
This type of change is difficult and painful but long-lasting. We need to retrace our steps back to those points where we have fallen. We cannot just carry own as if nothing has happened or that things will fix itself. Only a system that is properly set-up have that self-correcting tendecy and ours is not one.

I am of the opinion that the people at the confab should actually be given a different assignment of looking for the grave site of Lord Luggard to tell him the outcome of the failed project he created. I think that will be a better use of the N12m allowance being wasted on each delegate.

We  have only been treating the cancer that has eaten deep into our system with an antiseptic cream at the costs of proper cancer treatment.

NIGERIA: Why nothing is working

When you have the opportunity to work in a place where intricate processes are put together with dedicated people behind it to make  a complex system function effectively, then you'll easily give up on our beloved country.

Can we create such a system?
- Yes, we have intelligent minds who can sit down and come up with such plans.

Where are these people?
- They are scattered all over the world helping other countries build up their systems in exchange for the basics which our country could not provide for them.

If we set up these processes, can we get the right people behind it to make it work?
- No, because the words 'dedication' and 'service' have been ripped out of the dictionary of an average Nigerian. Every position now is used for personal and not collective gains.

Why can't we come together as one people with one voice to create a system that works?
- The reason for this is because the cabals in our society eats from a non-functioning system. They'll go broke the moment the system begins to run smoothly.

These are the reasons why nothing is working- Power, Refineries, Telecommunication, Health, Education, Security, Transport etc., and i see nothing working for an indefinite future.

Business or Busyness

I saw this while going about my own business.

This is what we call "oga ta, oga o ta, owo alaaru a pe".

While this type of attitude seem harmless to those who have it, because they get paid nevertheless, the danger is that it makes them useless at handling their own things because bo ba se se nkan oninkan naa lo se ma se tire.

From mis-management of resources entrusted to you to mis-use of position/trust....all add up to how you run your own personal lives. No wonder some people cannot manage their own private business succesfully despite having several years of working experience.

It is true that some bosses are not worth dying for (i have been there), but you have a choice: Stay there and PERFORM or QUIT if you are not being motivated.
Let me add that this apply even where your service is rendered free of charge. Give it your best shot...not with the attitude of 'afterall i'm not getting paid'.
Whatever your hands find to do, do it well.

So many lives look busy but little results are seen.

ARSENAL: Things fall apart

At Arsenal's trainning ground before Wenger's arrival

Poldoski and Giroud posing for pictures with the team's photographer

Arteta practising backpass

Sagna talking to Mert and Scezney about his summer move

Flamini sprinting around the pitch with Chamberlain

Carzola and Ramsey ball joggling

Vermalene, gibbs and Monreal gossipping about Diaby and his injuries

Kallstrom on the phone

Bendtner reading a mag

Rosicky had his headphones on

Sonogo and Fabiaski lying down at a corner

(Wenger arrives)

Wenger: Hey guys what is happening here?

(no reply from anyone)

Wenger: Ok get together everybody. We have a match on Saturday and this is not how to prepare.

(Every gathers around)

Wenger continues....

Who are we playing on Saturday?

All chorused: we don't know boss

(Wenger reaches for his diary to check)

We are playing Wigan and according to what i have written down here, it is the FA semi-final.
So get the bibs....yellow to the right side, green to the left.

I want you to pass, move, pass move, pass, move....

Same as we do it but i want it quicker.....

Blows whistle pooooooooooo!!!!

Nollywood and white skin

I think these nollywood movie producers should warn their camera crew to reduce the amount of light they shine on our actresses at location....all of dem don turn to oyinbo finish.
Biko! We no get dark skinned actresses for naija again. A young actress (talented or not) after appearing in 2 movies will suddenly turn yellow in the 3rd one. The ones that are already yellow are turning white.

Ina yen ti poju.....e jowo e ba reduce e!!!!

S O K A

Each time i pick up my device to write about the soka horror, i don't type more than 2 lines before i get overwhelmed with emotion and drop it. Talk of another level of wickedness!

I have tried so hard to put my thoughts together but all i come up with are questions. I won't bother asking these questions because i know nobody have got answers to them so let's leave it.

According to report, the first step the governor of the state took after visiting the site was to issue an instruction that caterpillar be moved to the site to destroy the place. I thought this man was educated for godsake! Destroy a crime scene just like that?! Is that ignorance, or a move to show the angry populace that the government is active or there is something they want to hide?
Well, the police chief halted the demolition until the police findings are over, which i think is the proper procedure even though naija police investigation get as e be.

Anyway the latest now be say forensic experts from UCH are conducting investigation at the crime scene which also is a positive move but the question is (in Asari Dokubo's voice) "wetin dem wan compare their findings against?" Which database we get wey dem wan use process the bones, fingerprints etc to find out who is who?

So far so good the only arrests made according to the police PR are security operatives of nearby sites.

Leaders in Nigeria are so wicked that they cannot be exonerated from deliberate attempt to destroy evidence in a situation like this. Likewise the populace are not enlingthened enough to know how to treat a crime scene and be calm while investigation continues. This type of place quickly becomes a tourist attraction with all manners of business ventures established immediately. Pure water and gala sellers, areas boys and fathers establishing gates and collecting viewing fees etc.
The police also have no form of crowd control technique other than shooting. Reports have it that a woman was killed by the police at the scene.
As complex as our problems might look, the only solution lies in the basic approach adopted by other developed countries which worked (and is still working) for them.

I am only sorry in advance for the innocent folks that'll soon be arrested and paraded as the soka criminals....
