Femi Kuti's 'Past,Present and Future'

Good day sir, we have some series of questions we would like to ask you on Princeyemimike's Blog affiliated to Naija F.M and Naija Lifestyle Magazine in the U.K

When did you start playing music sir?

Ans- It depends, I had a Trumpet at 8 but no Teacher, Professionally, I started to teach myself the Sax about 15 and I started professionally by 17 when I joined my father's band.

Which instruments do you play sir?

Ans- I kind of know how to play all instruments but professionally on stage, I play three, I would say the SAX, Trumpet and a bit of keyboard.

What was the first tune you learnt?

Ans- The first tune I learnt? The first tune I learnt was Escoba. I was in Igbobi College. It was a tune that my uncle Mr Nelson Cole taught me when I first picked up the sax. And I learnt a couple of songs at igbobi band. I learnt my first tune 'Ayayaya' by my father called perambulator professionally . This was very hard.

Which Famous Musician do you admire and why do you admire?

Famous? There are a couple. When I first started? I came at a cross road in my career where I had to decide if truly I wanted to do music. I thought music was just to play around and have fun and Charlie Parker when I listen to him was doing things on the saxophone that I thought were Inhuman and impossible. I just wondered then that I would not be able to do it. I knew I could not be like any of those I admired in the future, I just had to find my way.

Apart from Charlie Parker and your Dad, which other famous musician have you learnt from? Not only musically, but the total package?

Ans- Musician ? There are a couple of few, One of my father's Saxophonist UGOCHUKWU . Quincy jones, Charlie Parker, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley and I love Stevie wonder. There are a couple more.

Your fondest musical memories?
There are a couple of them Good and bad only you do not let the bad overshadow the good ones, the Kora Awards, The World music Awards, I never thought I would win the world music awards, being the first Nigerian to break through the International stage. The Birth of My First Son and the other children, Bang! Bang ! Bang ! Being a hit song, it was so massive that we were caught unawares.

Your best school Teacher?
NONE. I never liked any of my teachers (Laughter) especially Baptist Academy, my biology teacher Mr Okoro, Mr Adeleke. Ah I disliked all of them.

Have you ever been in any competition sir?
I never did that; I would have been too shy.

Best public performance?
Too many.

Any plans on University campus Tour?

If there is a sponsor, why not? But is that possible with all the problems in Nigeria now? ASUU strike, Boko Haram. When you cannot go to the Northern schools to perform because of Boko haram. Insecurity is a serious Issue in Nigeria. I would love to perform in the Northern part too; my career is basically live performance before the recording session. I focus more on the presentation of life band. Anything live, am game. I like when my band takes the Audience unawares

How do you feel when you listen to your music or your father's when you travel out? I was in pecham recently in London and I was listening to fela's song.

Ans- I would not know again because I have heard it so many times, but its always nice, most times I hear them in a bar.

Did your father ever beat you while you were younger?

Ans- about two times, one for stealing my mother's milk. The second was for taking my mother's cigarette.

What is your take on Nigerian Entertainment Industry?

No! no! no .rephrase that question, we do not have an industry in Nigeria, don't say that again, don't you know the meaning of industry? You can say sector, so rephrase that question.

What is your take on the Nigerian sector compared to overseas?

We have a long way to go considering the problems in Nigeria. That young people want to do something positive instead of being gangsters is a plus. What if they were gangsters? Or drug addicts? They have to be encouraged but unfortunately, we do not have the structures take for instance, the Hollywood, movies. They can close down Ikorodu road to land a plane and they can make it so real that you forget you are watching a movie; they have ten look alike for a movie. Almost everyone is an actor in los Angeles, that is an industry and these are the things we lack.
We do have great artiste here, but we lack people who can play musical instruments. Take for instance Nigerian Idols, in America, there would have been scouts. It does not mean that one came third, he or she cannot sing. The person lost out due to votes. In an industry, they would have been signed up and they will progress career wise, they will get people to write songs for he or she if the person cannot write songs, all they want is the texture of your voice. If you do not mess up your career, you will excel. I will always emphasize that we do not have enough young people playing musical instruments. Music is probably the most difficult profession. When you go o the Grammys they talk about Arts and science. Because Europe and America have understood music is about physics, arithmetic and science. It is all about what we have discussed. They do not take artistes for granted.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Where you the one who wrote the song?

I write all my songs.

Sir what is your take on the High cost of shooting videos?

I heard oh! Where is the money in the sector? Is there so much money? I have not patronized such; it has never come my way.

Which football club do you support?
I support Enyinmba.

What advice do you give people who have stage freight?

You really can't teach people, I went through it, it is a gradual process.

What makes a good session?
It is spiritual. You can never know, everything just goes smoothly.

Why do we have few musicians toeing the afro beat proper except for few people like you, lagbaja and Dede Mabiaku compared to reggae in Jamaica?

Because it is going to be hard to convince the fanatics of afro beat that you are not like fela, they begin to compare you with fela and you can never be like fela.

Do you teach music sir?

Only my children. Teaching music is not that simple; it is complex than you think. I admire people who teach it though.

The Bob-Marleys of this world have their children going into music, would you encourage that in the Anikulapo- Kuti family?

Of course I would.

How do you balance your music with your children?

I love my children and can sacrifice a lot of things for them. I always find time to spend with them.

Your album 'No place for my Dream'. What is it about? What is your dream?

My dream is to see Peace in the world. i was thinking of so many things like climate change and all. If you listen to the lyrics of the album, you will understand more.

How come the Album is not readily available in the Nigerian Market?

Because I could not get a label to promote it , they were ridiculous , they didn't want to pay an advance, I am not ready to devalue my music, I am not ready for an idiot, excuse my language for someone to tell me my music will not sell. I am not ready for anyone to play on my intelligence. I can afford to play in Ikoyi for 5,000 but I will rather play for free or the usual 500 I have been playing at the shrine since than for anyone to come and tell me nonsense. I don't have patience for such.

Your favourite Nigerian Musician sir?

I don't have one, I love all of them. I get along with all.

Your favourite Nigerian Producer sir?

I love all of them, if I begin to mention names and I leave out some or forget, the others will take it otherwise and it might be controversial.

Your Favourite Actor?

I like Will Smith, he is funny but not favourite and also, Denzel Washington too. Any good actor I will watch the movie but it has to be a very good movie

Your Favourite Colours sir?

I Love Red and Navy Blue but I don't like wearing Red.

Your favourite city in the world?

There are many. I like all major cities. I like Lagos, San Francisco, Paris and I even like towns when on tour I go to quiet towns. I like Abeokuta too but it's becoming Noisy nowadays like Lagos now.

Your Role in Occupy Nigeria Sir?

I just felt that if I came out many middle class people will be in support and come out. But I knew it would not succeed. I told them that NLC will sell out that they should have a plan B. But they were so sure that the wont .I told them they would compromise .but am against violence and I don't feel we need a bloody revolution and I wish many people will understand that. Look at Syria, Egypt, Tunisia and even Libya. I knew that Libya would not be better because it involved blood. If it had continued, it would have been violent. It was only NLC that could shut the country down peacefully.

What is Nigeria's number one problem sir?

Corruption. The government should not be corrupt, it should motivate its people, it should care about people. The government cannot be seen to give Alamieyeseigha Presidential pardon and come again to say no to corruption? Who will take you serious? What message are you sending to the youths? It's now like a cancer, look at Dimeji bankole, Iyabo Obasanjo what has the EFCC done about their case? Everybody is corrupt. We have gotten it so wrong, our orientation has to change. The change has to come from government.

What are the plans to make the shrine a Tourist Centre?

It already is whether we like it or not. It's not only in Nigeria, Fela's name is global. The biggest stars of hip hop know fela or femi. Jay Z, Miles Davies, Paul Mccartney , Lennon and Stevie wonder. These are names you will not believe because government tried to put his name down.

What do you do in your spare time?

Nothing, nowadays I just tweet.

What do you want to be remembered for, your legacy?

Nothing, because by then I would not give a damn (all Laughs). I cannot feel anything by then. Even when my mother died, I cremated her. people started saying all sorts. When you are dead, you cannot feel anything. So I don't want to be bothered. We need not be pompous; we are too arrogant in nature. Probably, the only things that will die with us are good memories. Did Abacha carry anything?
Thank you so much sir. We have concluded the interview.

Julius Agwu Sues Etisalat for N100million

Comedian Julius Agwu has dragged telecoms giant Etisalat to court for blocking his business line. He is demanding for N100million as compensation for jobs lost, contact lost, for the inconveniences, and for being mistreated by Etisalat staff. 

Below is a statement from his lawyer, Festus Keyamo...

We are solicitors to Mr. Julius Agwu, one of Nigeria's most sought after entertainers (hereinafter referred to as "our client") and on whose behalf we write.

Our client is the owner of the Etisalat GSM phone number 08189555555, which he uses as his business line. On the 8th of October, 2013, our client travelled out of the country and returned on the 17th of the same month. Upon his return, he tried severally to make calls from the aforestated GSM line but same could not connect. Not only could he not make calls, he also could not receive calls on the said GSM line. This continued for some days until he got a message that his line had been blocked by the network provider.

Sequel to the above message, our client promptly visited your Abuja office at Hilton to report the matter. He was attended to by one Miss Joan, who informed him that somebody swapped his line. After our client successfully answered the security questions put to him, he was informed that his line had been restored, but the credit balance on the line was not returned.

Surprisingly, our client's aforestated line was blocked again after he left your said Abuja office. Once again our client visited your office at the local wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Ikeja, Lagos to lodge a complaint, but painfully, nothing was done about it.

However, after sometime, our client was invited for a meeting at your head office in Lagos on the 14th of November, 2013 which he duly honoured. Present at the meeting (in addition to the officials of your organization) was Mr. Mobolaji Okusaga, the Managing Director of The Quadrant Company, in his capacity as media agents/managers for Etisalat Nigeria.

At the end of the meeting, our client was told for the umpteenth time that they would get back to him, which they again failed to do.

LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

It cannot be over emphasized that your actions of unlawfully blocking and/or swapping our client's line occasioned loss of business opportunities to him. As you are aware, our client as one of the most sought after Nigerian entertainers needs his phone line to be easily accessible to keep his business going. It therefore goes without saying that our client has lost some business opportunities as a result of your actions.

TAKE NOTICE that we have our client's firm instruction to demand and hereby demand the sum of N100,000,000.00 (One Hundred Million Naira) as compensation for the loss of business opportunities and the inconvenience caused our client by reason of your unlawful and unjustified blocking and/or swapping of our client's Etisalat GSM phone line.

TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that in the event that you fail, refuse or neglect to accede to our above stated demand within seven (7) days from the receipt of this letter, we shall be compelled to set in motion against you, all legal machineries necessary to obtain legal remedy for our client.

Thank you. 

Yours sincerely,

FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ.

Chris brown takes WEED to Rehab

Chris Brown surrendered his phone and the Internet while in rehab for anger management, -- but he didn't give up his weed without a fight.When Chris enrolled in his court-ordered rehab joint after last week's progress hearing in the Rihanna beating case ... he asked the rehab staff if he could bring his weed along.

Chris told staff the Mary Jane was prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition -- depression --  but the staff rejected his request. We're told Chris kicked up a stink, claiming pot makes him calm, but the staff was unbending.


As we reported, the judge in the case ordered Brown to enroll in a live-in anger management facility for 90 days following his previous stint in anger rehab, when he was booted after just two weeks ... ironically because he flew into a violent rage.Hopefully the no-weed rule won't exacerbate Chris's anger problems. They won't like him when he's angry

7 PDP governors merge with APC

The seven aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have announced their decision to merge with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the afternoon of November 26, 2013, Tuesday.

The meeting commenced at 9.30 a.m. at Kano Governor's Lodge. It was the continuation of the meeting which ended last midnight, at about 12.30 a.m.

The governors declared their decision was aimed at rescuing the country.

Alhaji Abubakar Baraje, the former Acting National Chairman of the PDP, announced the decision after the meeting, at about 11.46 a.m., Tuesday.

The governors who attended the meeting were that of Rivers (Rotimi Amaechi), Kano (Rabiu Kwankwanso), Adamawa (Murtala Nyako), Kwara (Badulfatah Ahmed) and Niger (Dr. Babangida Aliyu).
The governors of Jigawa and Sokoto states Sule Lamido and Aliyu Wamakko, respectively, were absent.

Alhaji Abubakar Baraje futher noted that the governors were part of the decision.

The APC leaders, including the Interim National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande; a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and a former Head of State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), were in attendance.

The new merger effectively changes the political landscape of Nigeria.

The ruling PDP had 23 governors; but with the exit of seven, now has 16 governors.

The new merger party has 18 governors; while the remaining two states, Ondo and Anambra, are led by the Labour Party and the All Progressives Grand Alliance respectively, although both governors are allies of Mr. Jonathan.

A similar permutation exists in the National Assembly.

The seven New PDP governors were expected to have a final meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan before taking a decision. It is not clear if the meeting would still be held.

Angola 'Bans Islam', Dismantles Mosques

Angola 'Bans Islam', Dismantles Mosques, According To News Reports

A number of news outlets have reported that Angola has "banned" Islam and started to dismantle mosques in a bold effort to stem the spread of Muslim extremism.

Weekly French-language Moroccan newspaper La Nouvelle Tribune published an article on Friday sourcing "several" Angolan officials, including the Southwest African nation's minister of culture, Rosa Cruz, who reportedly offered the following remarks, which have been translated from French: "The process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, their mosques would be closed until further notice."

The media reports have not described why exactly Islam apparently faces a need to be legalized despite its presence in the country for many years.

OnIslam.net reports that the African economic news agency Agence Ecofin wrote that Cruz made the statement at an appearance last week before the 6th Commission of the National Assembly. The website goes on to note that,

"According to several Angolan newspapers, Angola has become the first country in the world to ban Islam and Muslims, taking first measures by destroying mosques in the country."

ASUU agrees to end strike on Conditions

According to reports from the Nigerian Eye, Nigerian university lecturers have agreed to end the five-month old strike, if the federal government says yes to three of it conditions.

These conditions will be made known to President Goodluck Jonathan today and if all parties come to agreement, the strike will be called off.

ASUU has forbidden its local chapters and zonal chairman from talking to the media, until the end of the session. But a source, who was part of the ASUU session, which was held at Mambayya House in Kano, revealed the conditions as:

•Commitment from the President that any review or reconsideration or renegotiation of the 2009 Agreement will not substantially affect the pact which is the cause of the ongoing strike;

•Immediate payment of all outstanding salary arrears and allowances of varsity teachers without victimization; and


•A written commitment from the President that the Federal Government will commit N225billion annually to the funding of universities for the next four years.

There is a fourth condition, which is said to be "personal" to ASUU.

The source said: "Our leaders are meeting with the President on Monday to table these conditions. Once the President accepts these three terms, the strike will be called off.

"In principle, members voted about 60-40 per cent to call off the strike, but they added a caveat – that ASUU leaders should extract a commitment (signed and sealed) from the President."

It became imperative for ASUU to makes these demands, as it became obvious that the FG wanted the 2009 Agreement to be renegotiated.

"If ASUU had accepted to renegotiate the entire Agreement , it means there will be no basis for the ongoing strike. The worst that can happen is either having the abridged version of the 2009 Agreement or a phased implementation of the document," the source added.

Marriage Doesn't Bring Love (True Life Story)

Marriage doesn't bring Love, its in people.
My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature, and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.

Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.

I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband, is my complete opposite, his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about love.

One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.

"Why?" he asked, shocked. "I am tired, there are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered. He kept silent the whole night, seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times. My feeling of disappointment only increased, here was a man who can't even express his predicament, what else can I hope from him? And finally he asked me:" What can I do to change your mind?"

Somebody said it right, it's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him. Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered : "Here is the question, if you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind, Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death, will you do it for me?" He said :" I will give you your answer tomorrow…." My hopes just sank by listening to his response.

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting, underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes…. My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to explain the reasons further.." This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.

"When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen, I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs. You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city, I have to save my eyes to show you the way. You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month, I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.

You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom. You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails, and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand… and tell you the color of flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young face… Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do… I could not pick that flower yet, and die.. "

My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting… and as I continue on reading… "Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk… I rush to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread….

Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone…

That's life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.

Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been a model, it could be the most dull and boring form.. . flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands… and that's our life… Love, not words win arguments… and love is in people not in marriage.

Personally, I believe marriage is a learning process. Don't be deceived that you know your partner fully. Its because you haven't stayed long enough with the person. When there is nothing new again. It begins to diminish somehow. I feel both male and female in our generation are intelectually lazy romantically . We stop working on each other. The spontaneousity , the surprises, the chase and so much more when the sizzling romance started. This leads to what I call communication. Tell me what you feel, don't assume. I have learnt from this true life story. I want to become a better man.

Messi happy for Ronaldo

Argentina forward Lionel Messi, has said he was very happy to see Cristiano Ronaldo fire Portugal to next year's World Cup and added that he was dreaming of winning the competition with his country.

"Certainly, to win the World Cup is a dream for me, my teammates and all of Argentina," he told selected media at a private press conference on Wednesday. "We are doing well – we need to improve a couple of things, but there are still seven months until the tournament starts. Hopefully we can win there, but a lot of nations can do it."

Speaking about Ronaldo, who scored all four of Portugal's goals in the 4-2 aggregate victory over Sweden, Messi said: "I was very happy for him when he scored those goals," Messi said. "It's just great when the best teams compete in Brazil, and Cristiano has had a great scoring rate for many years now. He plays at an outstanding level.

"I don't know if this is Cristiano's best moment, but he is always there, scoring goals in all the games and playing his part for his club and his country. He has been like that for many years. Whether he is at his best, or a bit below that, there is almost no difference."

Justin Bieber's bodyguard

One of Justin Bieber's bodyguards got busted in the most chill place on Earth -- for getting violent with a photographer and his equipment ... TMZ has learned.The alleged tussle went down on the island of Kauai Wednesday ... when Bieber and his crew were jumping off the famous cliff on Shipwreck's Beach. According to cops ... a 29-year-old man was snapping pics of JB & co. until of Bieber's hired hands approached and demanded he delete all his photos.The photog refused ... and claims the bodyguard -- Dwayne Patterson -- then got physical ... assaulting him and damaging his camera.The alleged victim wasn't too hurt -- according to cops he refused medical attention.Patterson was booked for third degree assault and 4th degree criminal property damage. He was released on $3,000 bail, aka ... Justin's pocket change.It's unclear if Bieber did actually cover the bail. His reps haven't gotten back to us yet.

Brad Pitt the perfect man-servant in the new Batman

Brad Pitt would be the perfect man-servant for Ben Affleck in the new Batman vs. Superman movie ... so says Sir Michael Caine, who played Alfred in the last movie.TMZ spoke with Sir Michael outside Craig's in Weho last night … and he suggested that a younger man fill his shoes in the upcoming movie … and officially nominated BP for the role of Alfred J. Pennyworth.Not sure how Brad would feel about dry-cleaning the Bat-suit and scrubbing down the Bat-cave while Ben's out saving the day … but it would definitely add some sex appeal to the role.Or maybe Michael Caine can just play Alfred forever … please.

The Journey (A poem by Tele )

The Journey 

Here you are with me

at the beginning.

I am already teary

and I will miss you.

My misty eyes

meet your beastly gaze.

You are taking me

where we both want to go.

You drive slowly

keeping a constant speed.

I look at you with half-open eyes

enjoying the ride

and from your half-relaxed face

I know you do too.

The moon shines brightly through the windows.

The cool breeze is tingly.

"You look like a goddess."

I smile, loving that you said so.

You hear the familiar sounds

and see the obvious signs.

We are almost there

so you go a bit faster.

I touch your shoulders

we are very near.

Your eyes are closed

you know the road too well.

You step on the brakes

just as we see the fireworks together.

So beautiful, they take my breath away

unaware that my nails are in your flesh.

I look at you

looking at me.

I see you love me

just as much as I do you.

Let me know what you think.

W.W.W. What Women Want

Someone once said 'To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize on them is infinitely worse'.

After much questions and answers, Research Work and Consulting the Love Doctors, Oracles, Wizards and Blogs and even the women themselves gave some of their opinions, we now know 'What Women Want'.

1. Respect.
 Show them through your actions that you respect their opinions, careers, interests, friends, bodies and minds. You don't have to agree with all that they say or do, but try to honour their opinions as valuable contributions. Follow the golden rule and treat them as you would like to be treated: Be honest, fair, kind, and considerate.

2. Sex. 
Yes, they love sex. But, remember that there are four bases to cover in the bedroom, not just one (Consult me for more Coaching). Try stopping at each base instead of being so focused on the home run—believe it, they will thank you for it! Likewise, remember small physical touches like massages. Please who is up for a massage? One can never, ever, have too many shoulder rubs. And scratching their heads is pretty great, too.

3. Romance. 
It's another night on the couch? Just because they are staying in doesn't mean the evening can't be romantic. Light a few candles and see where the night leads. Treat them like your girlfriend even after they become your wife. Date nights, making out in the car, kissing like first dates —all of the things that made them fall in love with us .we men don't have to stop just because now there are bills to pay, a house to be cleaned, and kids that need to get bathed.

4. Time. 
We understand relationships can't be all wine and roses; simply making the time to be with us and treating us like your top priority says "love" more than all the fancy gifts and lovely letters ever could. This includes helping around the house. The realities of a 21st-century relationship are that both partners probably work. If you happen to get home before we do, why not take vacuum the living room or throw in a load of laundry?  If you take the garbage out without being asked, chances are you'll be getting a big whole smooch when you come back.
 

5. Dinner. 
You may not be good at cooking and you may not know how to boil water. But greeting us at the door after a long day with fish sticks (or whatever you can wrestle up) makes us swoon, because it shows that you've been thinking about us and our hectic day. 
If it's that one because I don't like the kitchen, I will not mind buying stuffs so she can cook for her man.

6. Communication.
 Women are vocal creatures. THEY CAN TALK!!! They know you love them, but it's nice to hear you say it, too. They can also be insecure. They wish they weren't, but the reality is that they often notice their wobbly thighs and forget about their gorgeous eyes. So let them know when you think they are hot. Tell them they are beautiful. It helps them feel good. Plus, when they feel sexy they are more likely to act sexy. Words of appreciation aren't half-bad either. Thank them for driving the kids to school. Notice that they cleaned the bathtub. It doesn't have to be over the top, just let them know that you see the effort they put in, and you're grateful. Use words like Please Dupe pass me the key or please tidy the bed. After she has, simply say Thank you. I have imbibed that culture. My mother will send you on an errand and still tell you thank you, despite the fact that she has 100% right to send us errands while we were younger. Even till this day. She says "THANK YOU".

7. Consistency.
 This doesn't mean be boring and predictable. It means that we know you will (usually, no one is perfect!) give them the love and support they need. Knowing that you're coming at this with the same desires and energy as they are goes a long way to making them feel secure.

8.  Engagement
You don't have to like everything we like (we might be a little concerned if you do), but showing interest in our passions, be it career-related, a sport or a hobby, goes a long way. Listen when we talk to you. We're not speaking just so we can hear our own voice; we want to connect with you and this is one valuable way we do this. This also means paying attention to the little things. Whether it's the name of your best friend's husband or the fact that you hate Nicolas Cage movies, it's the little things you remember about us that's so endearing.

9. Humor and Humility.
 These two tend to go hand in hand. This doesn't mean that you have to crack jokes or entertain them, but just being able to laugh at yourself is enough. Guys who take themselves too seriously bring everyone down.
 

10. Challenge.
 Not the kind that makes a relationship constant work, but the good kind that surprises and motivates us to do, be or achieve what we desire. Studies show that partners who work on each other to meet goals—in other words, don't support lazy or bad habits—are ultimately happier than those who don't hold each other accountable.

11. Surprises.
Women love surprises. But surprise them according to your pocket.

12. Smell Good.
I do not joke with this. I can't, I won't. Please give me one reason why you should not use a deodorant? A body spray? A Perfume? You should have at least two out of these three I mentioned and also use them judiciously. For men, I will recommend sure or Gillette roll-on. Victoria secrets aren't bad too for a spray or you use malizia if you cannot afford the expensive ones. Not using any is a CRIME to WOMEN.

13. Dress Well.
You need not be over dressed for the occasion. At the same time, women love good and powerful dressers. Men with style, colour combination and fits to a man's body. Choose your attire according to your size and structure. If you can't dress well, ask a friend or your brother or sister whenever you are going out. If you are boxed up, hire someone.

14. Superman.
Be her Superman. Defend her in times of troubles and conflicts. Step up to the occasion. It doesn't mean you should fight. Always Be There.

15. Transparency.
Honesty is still the best policy. I keep on saying it, if I am looking at a long term relationship, why would I lie? I will prefer to be truthful so that I do not have to remember my lies. When you are honest, if she says what you said nine months back, it will be the same. Remember, women keep records better than men.

16. Baby.
I once had a girlfriend I named and called her Babyyyyyyyyy. That's how long her name was stored on my phone. Anytime I called her or she called, my response was always; hello babyyyyy. So you should try it and use the word baby. It worked for me, it lasted for four years. That word melts them. Not babe, I mean the real Baby. Babe and Baby are not the same.

17. Ask.
Ask and it shall be given. If you need something from her, or you want her to do something for you, ASK. Do not assume, try to ask if you want to know something.

18. Details.
Pay attention to her. Every single detail about her counts. It shows you care and you have her on your mind and at heart. It makes you so sweet.

19. Don't make her cry.
For whatever reason, do not make her CRY. If you do, I do not have remedy for it. Before a woman will cry on your matter, you cup is filled up. If not overflowing.

20. Abeg, if you try this and e no work, omo your own don be. I don speak English tire. Make you sef add your own . my fingers don dey complain. #SEFINI

PS4. Sells 1 million breaks record

system launched, when it was telling everyone it'd presold over a million PlayStation 4 units, so this just makes it official: Sony says the PS4 sold 1 million units during its first 24 hours on sale, starting from midnight Friday, Nov. 15.


I'm not sure if that's a record, because I'm not really up on game-console-launch records. When I spoke with Sony's Jack Tretton on Wednesday morning, he was sure the system wouldn't so much break as shatter launch-sales figures, and if this Wikia's NPD launch figures are accurate — that the next biggest record setters were the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS, each at half a million units sold during their respective launch weeks — he'd be correct, though why Sony isn't saying as much in its press release is anyone's guess.

The PS4 has so far only launched in North America, which has a smaller video-game population than Europe, so the fireworks may just be starting. The PS4 rolls out in Europe (including the U.K.), Australia and Brazil on Nov. 29, followed by at least 10 more countries by year's end. Interestingly, Sony won't launch the PS4 in Japan until February 2014, a stark reversal from prior launches: the PS3 launched in Japan and the U.S. at nearly the same time, while the original PlayStation launched in Japan nine months before seeing light of day Stateside.

X-Box one comes out November 22 midnight ...watch out for the rivals

Father 'U' Turn passes away

Femi Sylvester Mayomi, popularly known as Father 'U' Turn has passed away. The singer who was very popular in the 90's for hit singles like 'yetunde' died this morning at Okokomaiko in a car accident, a music promoter says.

But his friend, another musician says, he died due to kidney complications. While another person said that he has been sick for the past 3 weeks before passing away this morning, but refused to say if he had a kidney problem or not.
He was 36, survived by his siblings, wife Ajimoh and five children … May his soul RIP.

Its still a shock to how we loose our younger generations to accidents or health. Who will save this generation from Man Made Problems?

5 Good Reasons To Get Married While You Are Young

5 Good Reasons To Get Married While You Are Young

While delaying marriage has advantages -- a lower divorce rate, higher income for women and fewer and less intense arguments between spouses -- studies show there also may be benefits to tying the knot before age 30. However, there is such a thing as marrying too young. Research shows that marriages beginning when a woman is 18 are twice as likely to end in divorce as those beginning when she is 22.
Below are five reasons to get married in your 20s.

1. It could make you happier. The highest percentage of people ages 20 to 28 who consider themselves "highly satisfied" with their lives are married, as opposed to single or cohabiting. What's more, the largest number of women who described their marriage as "very happy" tied the knot when they were 24 to 26. A 2010 study found that "the greatest indicated likelihood of being in an intact marriage of the highest quality is among those who married at ages 22–25."

2. You'll make more money (at least if you're a man). An analysis revealed that among men in their mid-30s, those who married in their 20s had the highest levels of personal income. Economists have found, in general, that married men earn more than single men -- even when you control for other factors like age and education.

3. You'll have more sex. Couples who marry in their 20s tend to have more frequent sex than those who marry later. Researchers say that "a four year increase in age at marriage is associated with a couple having sex about one time less per month." What's more, married people as a whole have more sex than their single counterparts.

4. You'll drink less alcohol. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior found that married and engaged young adults reported lower frequency of drunkenness than those who are not in a serious romantic relationship. Laying off alcohol has many health benefits, including weight loss, better sleep, better skin and a reduced risk of some cancers.

5. There's nothing to be gained from waiting -- if you think you're ready. We certainly aren't advocating a rush to the altar, but if you feel like you're prepared for that next step, go for it. Research says there's no advantage to delaying marriage just for the sake of delaying it. A 25-year-old person who meets an excellent marriage prospect would be ill-advised to pass up that opportunity only because he/she feels not yet at the ideal age for marriage. Furthermore, delaying marriage beyond the mid-twenties will lead to the loss during a portion of young adulthood of any emotional and health benefits that a good marriage would bring.

But we know the Nigerian Factor here, a man has to be ahead .if not, woman no go marry you at that tender age .

Kim Kardashian shares moment with baby

Kim Kardashian's heart will always point North. Though the reality star, 33, is engaged to marry Kanye West next year, she seemed to have eyes only for her nearly 5-month-old baby daughter on a recent morning.


Sitting on a balcony surrounded by flowering plants, the first-time mom doted on her sweet girl as they soaked up some of the warm sunshine. At one point, Kardashian could be seen lifting her little bundle of joy into the air and smiling.


The DASH designer also entertained her beautiful baby with a toy giraffe, which she held in one hand while balancing Nori against her chest with the other. Both mom and daughter were dressed in light, neutral colors: a white robe for Kardashian, and a beige sweater for her little girl. 


The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star can't seem to get enough of her daughter. "Moms - do u ever want to wake up your baby to give him or her kisses?" she tweeted on Saturday. "I want to soooooooo bad right now, but she's so peaceful sleeping."

Brown has checked out.Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, tells his client needed to get out of the facility to start the community service he's required to perform in the Rihanna case.  As you may recall, the judge would not accept the hours Chris claimed he had done, and made him do it all over again.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom attend Therapy to save their marriage.

THEY'VE had a tough couple of months.

But Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are doing everything in their power to save their marriage.

According to E! News the couple are said to be continuing to attend couples therapy in a bid to keep their marriage together.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have reportedly been going to counselling in a bid to save their marriage .

"They are going to continue counseling. They are using it as a forum to talk through all of their issues," a source told E! News.

The source revealed that while the 29-year-old reality star and her 34-year-old estranged husband are uncertain about their future, counseling has been a step in the right direction to working through their problems.

Kim Kardashian's sister and husband Lamar Odom are said to be using counseling 'as a forum to talk through all of their issues'
"Khloé has been very, very hurt by everything. There is a lot about Lamar that she is just learning and if they have any chance of making this work, there is a lot they need to come to terms with," the source said.

"They both really want to make this work. But they are not sure if they can," the source continued.

Khloe Kardashian attended her mum Kris Jenner's 58th birthday party with her husband Lamar Odom by her side
Adding: "This is the first step to see if they have a chance of healing and moving on. Only time will tell."

Khloe and Lamar were hit by scandal earlier this year after reports emerged that the NBA basketball player had a drug problem.

Lamar Odom drifted from wife Khloe Kardashian 'drug allegations'
But the couple, who tied the knot back in September 2010, have begun spending time together again and even attended Kris Jenner's 58th birthday party together last week.

"It was just close family and friends. Lamar and Khloe are actually getting on very well and were couple-y together. It was very intimate and everyone was really pleased to spend time with them," a source told E! News at the time.

Khloe Kardashian was seen with her wedding ring back on last month . I think she should forgive him. They can work things out. One of the ups and downs of marriage . If she hears African women's stories about their cheating husbands and how so many women are waiting to snatch her man. She would give it a try. Kobe's wife did give it a try .

Rihanna sips from a SHOE in a club

"Pour It Up" from a pump?!

Rihanna was caught on camera at the club sipping a drink from a stiletto shoe!

Instagram user Damien Piron was on hand at Sugar nightclub in Riri's native country, Barbados, and got the bizarre incident on camera.

In the clip, the "Diamonds" singer hangs at a table with a friend while swigging out of a shoe. We can't tell if she's drinking from a real shoe you wear on your feet or a footwear shaped flask, but it's pretty crazy either way.

Miley Cyrus on stage @ the EMA

• 
  
  

Miley Cyrus opened the 2013 MTV EMAs with a performance of "We Can't Stop" and as usual, the singer's moves on stage got a lot of people talking after Miley proceeded to twerk with a little person.

As it turns out, that wasn't even the most controversial thing Miley did on stage during the awards.

While accepting the "Best Video" award for "Wrecking Ball," the controversial pop star jokes that she can't fit it in her purse, but says that there is one thing that did fit--at which point she proceeds to pull out a big blunt, light it AND start smoking!

Miley isn't the first artist to light up on stage in Amsterdam. Lady Gaga recently did the same thing during one of her concertsin the same city.

Since the marijuana laws are more lenient in the Netherlands than they are in the United States, Miley probably won't have a legal problem, but there could be some serious public backlash over her actions.

Do you think it was wrong of Miley to smoke on stage?

D'banj signs Wande Coal .

This is WAR!!!

This Information is authentic until it is proven not to by both team! The news was passed across by a member of the DB RECORDS which name has been withheld. Wande coal left MAVIN records in June 2013 but he officially left the label after a PRESS RELEASE yesterday. 
 
I tried to contact Wande about this story but he decided not to reply instead he stylishly diverted the topic..well, i assumed my story is true and i can publish since he neither approve nor reject the story. Having Wande coal on dbanj's record label will be an embarrassment to DON JAZZY who lost the both of them.
 
This story is yet to be officially confirmed but from our source we heard Wande is now living together with Kswitch in Dbanj's House. Mavin records now has Don Jazzy, Tiwa savage, D'prince and DR.sid to show for. Meanwhile, DB records has D'banj, Kswitch, Jsol and now WANDE COAL to boast of. Seems the competition has just started…leego!!!

Personally, I think wande would have been better alone. Taking a cue from May D. But on the other hand, D'banj and Wande will really Blend .

GRE, TOEFL Suspended Indefinitely In Nigeria

GRE, TOEFL Suspended Indefinitely In Nigeria For 'Security Reasons'

Nigerian students planning to write qualifying examinations into colleges and universities abroad should start seeking other alternatives as Education Testing Services, ETS, has suspended both the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) in Nigeria "due to security concerns."

ETS is the world's largest private nonprofit educational testing and assessment organization. It conducts examinations in almost all the countries of the world.

In a terse statement dated November 7, published on its website, ETS said both examinations have been suspended indefinitely in Nigeria.

"Due to security concerns in Nigeria, GRE® and TOEFL® testing in the country has been suspended for an indefinite period. Candidates who have appointments to take the TOEFL or GRE Tests will be contacted by ETS to process a refund."

The organisation did not say the specific security threats it has come under.

GRE is a standardized test that is required for admission for graduate (Post-graduate) courses in the United States and business programmes, especially Master in Business Administration (MBA) worldwide.

The TOEFL is a test meant to test the English Language proficiency of non-native English language speakers wishing to enroll in United States universities and other English speaking universities and courses around the world.
