HAPPY VALENTINE!!!



















I am sitting typing this, beginning to get irritated by the "unofficial" white and red dress code. who the heck chose those colours? Is it just me but doesn't red send any signal but love? In my own opinion red "SCREAMS" sex!!!! Again if you notice love is hyped around valentine's day but the practice is sex (a drive around town to hotels around you would convince you because "FULL BOOKED" is always the answer). Red could also send all the wrong vibes for valentine, especially for those of you with a dirty mind. *wink*. red lips, red light district, red lingerie, red rose petals on a red satin bed e.t.c. Well don't fret red has never been good news does "red stands for danger" ring a bell? Why did they not chose a safer colour like blue?
Well lets talk about other symbols connected to valentine:
HEART-It was formerly believed that the heart was the seat of all human emotions. Accordingly, the gifting of a heart signified the selfless act of giving everything to someone you love. Though the ancients were not aware that the heart was responsible for pumping blood though the circulatory system, yet they knew one thing for sure that the heart was the center of all feelings. This ancient belief has lingered on through the ages.
CUPID-The love and attraction that a man and a lady feels for one another is traditionally ascribed to the mythological god,Cupid.In Latin, the word Cupid means "desire." Cupid is represented as a naked, chubby boy with wings and possessing a mischievous smile. He carries a bow with a quiver of arrows which he uses to transfix the hearts of youths and maidens.
The Rose
From time immemorial, beloveds have been compared to roses. If we juggle the letters of the word ROSE we get EROS, who is the God of Love. Rose has thus been the traditional choice of lovers around the world. The colour red is associated with strong emotions and below are listed sentiments expressed by different hues of rose:- Lavender -- Enchantment and Uniqueness
Orange -- Fascination
Pink (Dark) -- Thankfulness, Friendship and AdmirationRed -- Love, Respect and Courage
Peach -- Modesty, Gratitude, Admiration and Sympathy
Pink (Pale) -- Grace, Joy and Happiness
Deep Red -- Beauty and Passion
White -- Innocence, Purity, Secrecy, Silence, Reverence, Humility and (according to some sources) True Love
Yellow -- Joy, Friendship, Jealousy, Hope and Freedom
Black -- Farewell
Red/White -- Unity or Engagement
Yellow/Orange -- Passionate Thoughts
Peach -- Modesty, Gratitude, Admiration and Sympathy
Pink (Pale) -- Grace, Joy and Happiness
Yellow/Red -- Congratulations
Rosebud -- Beauty, Youth and a Heart Innocent of Love
Red Rosebud -- Purity and LovelinessWhite Rosebud -- Girlhood
One Dozen Red Roses -- "I Love You"
Single Red Rose in Full Bloom -- "I Love You"
Tea Roses -- "I'll Remember Always"
LOVE KNOTS-They are made of ribbons and are traditional symbols of interminable and everlasting love.
so do you have other symbols you can think of?

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT!!!







Just incase you did not catch the grammy let me give you the gist.



First off i must say Amy Winehouse looked healthier and CLEAN(ER)!!!! I had no doubt in my mind that my girl Amy was going to win BIG time! She's a brain of "musical" talent. When the first award rolled in, for Record of the Year with ‘Rehab’ she couldn’t hide her shock and thanked her parents, who were there supporting her and her Blake. Amy also took the awards for Best New Artist, Song of the Year for “Rehab,” Best Vocal Album and Best Pop Vocal Performance in a total of 5. she truly deserved it big time! Love her music!!


One scary thing though wasi noticed she was trembling and her little knees wobbling and ohhhh that distant look while performing. Amy please stay away from the rocks ok?… it’s a little scary!!! watch a video of her





Another highlight of the grammy was when Tina Turner took the stage… what is that woman doing next to Tina?? OH that’s Beyonce!! Let’s face this thing squarely, Tina kicked Beyonce’s hot ASS big time… ah besides Tina is in a better shape than Beyonce, how old is Tina??? Oh I love her!!!!!! Doubt me? (view video here)

Really beautiful duets happened when Alicia Keys took on stage with Frank Sinatra, a virtual duet (view video) and with John Mayer (view video).And finally she can sing!!!! I have to say this is my favorite duet of the night… sorry… but it’s Fergie and John Legend!! why? because Fergie stayed away from talk-singing for once!!!! Damn. I think it’s the first time we really hear Fergie singing, really singing… (view video)
If i forgot anything holla!!!! More still to come!

LEAVE 2FACE ALONE!


On the 4th of February, i was called from 2face camp that he had been robbed. i conducted a live interview and broke the news to everyone on my show on radio. I must admit that another attack on him was funny and was even more hilarious when we later spoke after the radio thingy and he said he was going parley the cops. In my mind i was like "dude!!! you are so ignorant zipping up is all you need DUH!" It does not take a genius to know that's the reason for these incessant attacks.

WALA!!!!! I could not resist posting this.


This was a forwarded mail by friend on facebook and i laughed so hard i was shedding tears.

LEAVE IDIBIA ALONE

My lord, my name is barrister Busybody and I stand before this honourable court to defend my client Mr. Innocent Idibia.I’m in love with women. And when i say so, I mean- not just my wife and my mother and sisters alone. I mean, I love good-looking, smart and confident women. You know, those kind of women that make we men flip through THISDAY Style every Sunday, our adrenalin rushing and hearts beating fast as we regret that phone numbers are not included in the profiles or captions. See, it’s been proven – if you’re a sophisticated modern man, who knows what time it is; and is on top of his game, there are just some things you must be at home with: for example, dressing well must come easy to you. You must like the pleasure of good wine. You must care a lot about the kind of car you drive. You must be passionate about keeping fit. And, guess what? You must appreciate beautiful women, have a couple of them on your speed dial, and know what to do with (or to) them if you ever get the opportunity…(I mustn’t forget to add, your honour, that it helps to have a nice home, in a nice area of town, even if you’re not the one that pays the rent. Plus, you should have some cash at your disposal too…) And, quite naturally, if you pass the test, it’s only normal that the ladies gravitate towards you. Ask Julius Agwu. Ask Kris Okotie. Ask Richard Mofe-Damijo. Ask Basketmouth. Ask Sammie Okposo. Ask D.Banj. Ask 2face Idibia!So, if we all like, love, lust after and respect beautiful women that much, why then has everyone with a mouth used it these past weeks to castigate poor innocent 2face Idibia? What if he has dated Vien Tetsola, Nkechi Okoli, Caroline Ekanem, Cath Taylor, Kemi Olisaemeka, Annie Macauley, Sumbo Ajaba and Pero Adeniyi? What if he has two kids from two different women, and is expecting another three? What if the results of his ‘sexcapades’ have revealed that in spite of his safe sex campaign for Soundcity, he still doesn’t use condoms? For God’s sake, what if? My client has shown that with success, anything can happen. When he first set foot on Lagos in 1997, I doubt if the most naïve girl on his street would have given him a chance. Yet, few years later, his charm was blossoming, and he was already preparing to share his God-given gift with any daughter of eve he found so deserving. Now, barely 11 years later, movie stars, female singers, politicians’ wives, celebrities and multitudes of undergraduates want to bed him. They’re forming a long queue, and those that have had a taste of the pudding are returning to the queue – like Oliver Twist, they’re begging for more. This minute, they’re excited, harmless fans. Next minute, they’re buzzing his phone (‘I just thought to say ‘hi’’). One week later, they’re already wondering why they haven’t missed their periods, conducting DIY pregnancy tests, and preparing to join the Association of 2face’s Baby Mamas (A2BM). Unfortunately, many are called. Few are chosen. And right now, at least, to the best of my knowledge, the three lucky pioneer members of A2BM are Sumbo Ajaba (let’s call her baby mama 1), Pero Adeniyi (baby mama 2) and Annie Macauley (baby mama to be). And, instead of pitying the poor guy, for the pressure of managing three selfish, damanding lovers, we’re all asking for his head, just because he’s not ‘being a good role model’. Tell me, is the guy’s job to be a ‘good role model’ or a ‘good singer’? and if indeed he’s not being a ‘good role model’, is he not followingthe footsteps of his predecessors KWAM 1, KSA, Sir Shina Peters and all others who have enough women and kids to fill a molue bus?Two Sundays back, he was forced away from his computer game, to attend the birthday ceremony of baby mama 1’s son Nino (at Chrisland School, Ikeja, Lagos). The pictures from that event were so splashed in the papers that it must have robbed him of at least a handful of potential female fan-friends. Then the follwing Friday, he’s invited to Dinner at the home of Baby mama 2 in Anthony village, Lagos. Gisting with baby mama 2’s pop, and enjoying the rich banquet, it must have been a nice evening until he left the house around 11pm only to be confronted by robbers who made away with his Range Rover Sports minutes later. (By the way, how come robbers have no other business these days than to rob 2face? Can’t they just leave him alone for once and go after Psquare or D’banj or Olu ? Even his colleague Ruggedman has said they should leave the poor boy alone and go after other people…)Still, Baby mama 1 is very very heavy, expecting to put to bed anytime soon. Baby mama 2 is nearing her expected delivery date too. And baby mama-to-be? He doesn’t even know if she’s still carrying the baby, or if, like wicked busy bodies are saying, he’s actually the ‘father’ of the unborn baby. Now, instead of sitting back at home and writing new songs, instead of plotting his entry into the international market, instead of enjoying all the fortune music has brought his way, the poor lad is busy calculating delivery dates, consulting with baby mamas, trying to appease their families, and telling himself over and over again that he needs to employ a DNA test specialist full time. Yet many more girls are visiting their pastors, praying for the young man to look their way. See, If Idibia can’t shut his eyes or zip us his trousers, can’t the sisters just live him alone? And you’d better not say it’s his fault that all these girls are becoming overnight members of A2BM. If 2face cannot afford to buy a condom, or just never remembers to put it on, why can’t baby mama 1, baby mama2 and baby mama-to-be take charge? Or since when did female contraceptives go out of fashion? I think Idibia’s undoing is that he is in love with women. His lyrics openly say so. Perhaps it’s because his mother never had a female child, or maybe he was a monk in his previous life. (Un) fortunately for him, the women like him in return. In fact, they like him more than he can ever like them. Just as they liked RMD. Just as they like D’Banj. Infact, D’Banj, a bonafide sex symbol, has a community of ‘kokolets’ at his beck and call. He’s either a staunch believer in abstinence, or, he must have a regular supply of contraceptives from his community of ‘kokolets’. So you see, it’s all not just Idibia’s fault. I think this court needs to tell the robbers to stop chasing him around. We need to beg the girls to get off his case (can’t they go after Lord of Ajasa, Baba Fryo, and Blackface instead?). And we need to get the society for family health to open a contraceptive store inside his bedroom. Mr Idibia is just an Innocent victim that needs help. And I hope that this honourable court will tender justice with mercy. Let he who is a saint amongst us pass the death sentence. I rest my case!

JAZZ FOR SALE!




Do I use the general and almost bastardized sentence “wonders shall never end”? well do you know that you and I could actually be under the influence of jazz or voodoo? Do you know that gone are the days when you go far away, cut away from town, to a terrifying shrine with funny and weird looking sculptures. Now you can get it from the comfort of your car.

I have heard and seen and if you have had any of both experience don’t worry you would sooner than you expect it. It was first as hearsay but now I have seen it. If you are one of those who work or live on the island you must have seen 1 or 2 aimless Fulani looking people. They carry bags with all sorts in it ranging from “shine body, do as I say, love me alone and asking without refusal”. I can bet you must be laughing by now because it seems hilarious and perhaps stupid that people could actually go diabolical for such mundane things. I know we all have wishes but to think that they have now become “horses” is unthinkable.

A journey on ikorodu road would still shock you more as scruffy-looking ladies and women and more shocking teenagers too hawk a yellow looking liquid substance called “man power”. With outstretched arms to depict the potency of the substance to interested buyers and they tell you how you can reach Eldorado after the usage of the God-knows-what substance.

If your question is if they had patronage? Yea, I saw people rushing and more disappointingly people who you never would have expected.

Must we do this to satisfy ourselves?

9ICE THINGS POPPING


If one was asked to point out artists who have held the whole country locked down with just one track one could probably not count up to 7. you could even be forgiven for thinking that the hottest guy in the game right now has got his album out already such is the thoughtor is it the position of one’s mind for hearing the song in every nook and cranny in 9ja. This year looks even brighter
for Nigerias top Lyricist 9ice. His current single Gongo Aso is not only topping all charts but the high demand for his new album has forced the most wanted artist to dump previously picked release date.
The guy would soon say goodbye to…………(you can fill in the blank) and (ching $$$$$ching)hello to a better life. Well besides marketers seeking him left and right, 9ice is packaging one of the best albums 2008 will see with collaborations that cross over various markets. 9ice, whose real name is Abolore Akande has also been nominated for multiple categories in the up coming 2008 Hip Hop World award which is set to hold on March 15, 2008. The gist going around town is that his too hot ear busting single “gongo aso” is the next yahooze!!!! It is rumoured that his performance at the event is the most anticipated.

Just when we thought it was over for a while, he has also been nominated in the maiden edition of the sound City music video award for Best New Artist. This one is about to blow your mind 9ice’s popularity is increasing at a drastic rate and is averaging over 700 plays a day on myspace. The only other Nigerian artist currently doing that is 2face Idibia. 9ice is proving himself to be a fan favourite and one of the most unique artists of our time.

welcome
