TRUST ME ON THIS ONE

you're welcome to another brand new evening. i was going through the news and found out that the wife of the PRESIDENT of the federal republic of NIGERIA is going to be the acting president. you can imagine them Hausas again running the country like its some FAMILY BUSINESS or a BIRTHRIGHT. since when did the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA turn into the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF HAUSA. why the hell do we need this shit from them again in this TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. they ran this country down when it was under the AUTOCRATIC MILITARY REGIME now we are in a DEMOCRATIC REGIME and they are still OBSESSED with destroying this nation. i love my Hausa friends but what their sub-region is doing to this country is making me feel that we are better off without each other, we keep blaming them for almost everything and i know, i'm not going to lie about the other DE-REPPING Nigeria is suffering due to the south but the truth there is that from the outset Nigeria as in the north and south was never meant to be a country. look at the way we've been carrying on with each other like we HATE each other. if a northerner and a southerner are in another country and there is a disagreement and they were to choose who to support they'd choose the inhabitants of that country rather than themselves from the same country.
TRUST ME, i love this country to pieces but it breaks my heart every time that i SEE/HEAR this crap is going on every time and we can't stop it. i remember when i heard that Nigeria will DISINTEGRATE in so so so year i was like fuck it man. these people are trying SO HARD to see us fail/fall (whichever floats your boat). well, like i already said that was THEN because right now i'm not so sure of Nigeria as a nation anymore. i'm so scared that the country NIGERIA i once called mine won't be any longer and TRUST ME it won't be far too long that, that will happen. how i wish these IDIOTS that think that ruling this country is BIRTHRIGHT rather than a duty will see that they are running this country in to the gallows and TRUST ME, i'm not trying to be an English linguist or prophet of doom like most of us that are naive and TOO STUPID to see, would say or think i am. Praying for this country isn't going to solve this matter. if you like, tell me i have LITTLE FAITH. that's your shit load of thought. the issue here is that if we do not find a solution fast then we might as well sit down and watch as this country TEAR INTO PIECES like its already doing.

oh God i can't wait for the day that i will have the REPUBLIC OF SOUTHERN NIGERIA as my nationality. call me what you want but i'm going to tell you how it its. TRUST ME, its just a matter of two years tops and we are THROUGH as a nation. by then we'd have had ENOUGH of each other and it'll be time for us to go our VERY SEPARATE WAYS. TRUST ME, i know what i'm saying. the only thing i don't know is how many PARTS we are going to be at the END OF THE DAY and which part is going to be the most industrialized first. Nigeria is going to be FIFTY this year and this might be the very last JUBILEE (if you know what i'm saying) its/she (whichever floats your boat) going to have. so my dearies celebrate this one with all your might because NIGERIA WILL SOON CEASE TO BE A NATION/REPUBLIC/NAME IT and when that time comes we should be prepared.

TRUST ME ON THIS. I KNOW WHAT I'M WRITING.

RANTINGS OF AN INSECURE PRICK

I got this from one of my favorite blogs lindaikeji.blogspot.com and there was this post on a Nigerian artiste KC PRESH (or whatever their name is). Well on ONE of them. The "K" of the group was talking or should I say bragging about his WHAT THE FUCK WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT engagement

Instead of this dude to just come out and say I'M ENGAGED and we'll all say CONGRATS. The dude kept going on about his THIS and THAT and WTF? Does he seriously think we care about it? Maybe he was just hungry for some attention. Well, here are the excerpts of the CRAP he said.

"The ring I gave my fiancee is pure diamond (supposedly worth $20, 000).
YEAH RIGHT.
The date has not been fixed for the wedding yet but we have done our introduction. We did that in my fiancee's father's Okota home in Lagos this January. The engagement was in Dubai, the choice was Dubai because I wanted to surprise her. I told her we were going to Dubai on holiday and we stayed at the tallest hotel in the world, the popular 7 star hotel in Dubai, Burj Al Arab Hotel.
I SUPPOSE THE CHEAPEST OF THE CHEAP ROOMS.
The hotel room rates starts from $1, 767. 66.
LOL, EVEN TO THE FUCKING CENTS. NIGERIANS HOW MUCH OF THE SHIT ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE DOING TO OURSELVES?
I hired a parachute
WHAT?!!!!!!!! WHO USES A PARACHUTE TO PROPOSE? K HONEY IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A PARACHUTE IS OR MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN THIS IS IT!
WOW THAT MUST HAVE MUST HAVE BEING TRAUMATICALLY ROMANTIC.

for just the two of us and when we were about 40, 000 feet above sea level, I brought out the ring and asked her to marry me. She said yes. The time we spent in the parachute was a memorable one.
SO PEOPLE CAN SPEND TIME TOGETHER WHILE PARACHUTING? WOW, I NEVER KNEW. LOL, HIS STUPIDITY IS STUNNING!
When we returned to Nigeria, I bought her a car - a Honda Ridgeline - she deserves it.
SO?
My wife-to-be is beautiful but above that she's beautiful on the inside. She is brillant, intelligent, generous, and an understanding woman. She's so much fun to be with.
I DOUBT.
Her name is Ijeoma Oduah
WHY THE FUCK DO WE NEED TO KNOW HER NAME FOR?
and she's from Ogbaru LGA Anambra State and she's still a student studying mass communication. I love my woman and I am going to have a loud and classy wedding very soon." ~ Kingsley Okonkwo of KC-Presh


This is one of the unhealthy things we Nigerians engage ourselves in. Why the hell do we need this? This is what is called too much information.
WILLIAM GATES is the richest man in the world and he was rich before he married his wife and you didn't hear him brag shit.
Jay Z gave Beyonce a two million dollar ring and he didn't say shit. People didn't even know he was married. It was the nosy paps that saw the ring on her finger, photographed it and went to a jeweler and asked how much it was worth. So WTF is he trying to prove? Gosh, he really needs help.

Guess what? This dude even snapped the ring or is it his girl (whichever, i still don't care). Here is the pathetic thing.....















Now this is what I call a ring worth $20, 000














And here's another one


It's obvious that these rings are classy not some cheap thing that instead of him to shut his MOUTH UP he kept the noise making. YUCK!

FIGHTING FOR A MAN: IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?

Why do women do this? Seriously i don't get it. Fighting for a man? That's like making him a champion, like he's GOD'S GIFT TO WOMEN. Eww, whatever. Does it really have to do with the fact that we women are PETTY or is it that we're DESPERATE?

I was reading from one blog that SOME CHICK was fighting over a MAN with the EX of the MAN. Now, isn't this kind of STUPID? Why should a CURRENT be fighting with an EX, when the CURRENT already has the MAN and the EX don't. To start with FIGHTING FOR YOUR MAN isn't actually the PHYSICAL SIDE OF THINGS but the VERBAL and I don't mean VERBAL ABUSE.

When we FIGHT for our loved ones we look out for their best interests. We don't go about CURSING people of dashing out BLACK AND BLUE EYES (whatever's your take). We make sure that people who are out there to harm our loved ones are PUT IN THEIR PLACE.

This issue of SHE STOLE MY BOYFRIEND is some STUPID SHIT. Why? Its because nobody belongs to anybody until they are MARRIED and that too has its own you-know-what. So, if the one you ONCE LOVED or STILL LOVED can be TAKEN COMPLETELY away from you by another woman then he was never yours.

Look at it this way. Most of the people would go about fighting for the ONE THAT GOT AWAY end up waking up to the actual fact that they had already RAN THEIR COURSE and the fight was unnecessary.

LOVE is beautiful and doesn't need VIOLENCE as a CATALYST or an APHRODISIAC to make it seem interesting and fascinating. It already is. If the one you once loved got away then let then be. Don't go about telling the others after you that you were the BADDEST (sorry for the wrong superlative) chick he had ever beein with because that's just reducing your rep to that of the HOOD-RAT(or mouse to be nice) that is if you aren't already.

So my take on fight for a man.......DON'T! NEVER!! Its only going to bring you shame and disgrace. I know its CLICHE but if that man is yours, you damn well sure that he isn't going to be taken away by some STRANGE VAGINA. He might wander off but he'll surely be back.

YOU JUST HAVE TO LOVE HER

Yes, i know you know. Its NNEKA. The golden girl. Well, as for moi, I'm talking about her music and what I think of if.


This song, when I first heard I was like "what is this?" then I changed the channel. It was Channel O. Honestly, I was like what's is this AFRO HAIRED CHICK wants to say that Bob Marley hasn't already said. Until ONE DAY, I was in the kitchen washing the dishes then I heard this song and I was CURIOUS then I proceeded to the sitting room. LOW and BEHOLD it was the AFRO HAIRED CHICK and I was surprised. It was also the very SONG I was like WHAT THE HELL to.

Vocally, I won't lie that she is strong. She's just on a scale of one to ten I'd give her a FIVE POINT SIX. It seems to be too subtle. I'm kind of like a sucker for power houses (Celine Dion, Onyeka Owenu, Peabo Bryson and how can I forget Miss. Whitney) but on the terms of creativity, lyrics, composition and style(which i deem UNIQUE) I'd say she's got something. Most people especially Nigerians would say WHAT IS THIS GIRL SINGING? and others might do what I initially did but if you listen very well and pay attention you'd get the message.

To me, I think she doesn't really care about what we say about her voice or her dress sense or her style of singing. I don't think she really wants to know our opinion on those things because to be honest those THINGS BELONG TO HER AND HER ALONE. But she does care about the message she is sending through her song, the way she is sending it and WHAT HER SONG MEANS TO US.

She is one of the rarest musicians Nigerians have. She damn well knows what she is doing. She, to me represents the alternative culture in Nigeria. The culture that is laid back and is sometimes beaten to submission by the popular culture already prevalent in Nigeria. From her music to her hair to her clothes and the way she carries herself speaks volumes about how deep she is and how she wants us to see her.

All and all, I'd say i'm beginning to LOVE this girl and this her song HEARTBEAT is the most priceless piece in her collection to me. Just LISTEN and you'd SEE with the MUSICAL EYE in YOU the HEARTBEAT she is talking about.

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.
-MARCUS AURELIUS ANTONINUS

So, DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

I HAVE TO DO THIS

This post is to thank a very wonderful lady whose blog i follow.......Miss. Linda Ikeji. I was quite surprised she added my blog as some fab blogs people should check out. I hope she sees this my special post about her.
I really do appreciate it. Funny enough when she wrote it I didn't really check for mine. I was just interested in checking out the other blogs when I saw mine.

To Linda, thanks a lot sister. (and sorry i stole this pic from your site)

IS HIP HOP REALLY DEAD?

I know this is quite sudden but as I was writing about Lupe Fiasco's DUMB IT DOWN, I realised how much I'd missed songs like his. I remember when hip hop was philosophical. It reminded me of the how ROCK music used to sound. Hip hop these days just focus on SEX, DRUGS, MONEY and GIRLS (who they refer to as BITCHES).

Although I respect the background of most rappers and how hip hop has raised most of the from the shackles of poverty to wealth but the fact is that most of them don't really involve themselves in hip hop. Most of them hide under the excuse of trying or introducing a new style to the sound but in the actual sense its a display of pure mediocrity. The most annoying thing is not them putting the record out but those buying it. Its like the association of the demented souls and that i tell you is a very poor thing.


In their defence of introducing new stuff into the hip hop genre, I would strongly say its a lie. WHY? Look at EMINEM (who I think is the BEST RAPPER ever but is not appreciated because of his race) he brought his own style which was fast rapping in a rhythmic way. BONE THUGS 'N' HARMONY, those I say were the fastest rappers ever. Twista had nothing on them. SNOOP DOGG, laid back. Easy going just flowing was his trademark style. NAS made us, the new generation, to see the essence of hip hop which was to talk about the ills in the society.

Hip hop as a genre is just like Rock. The founding fathers and disciples made sure that the music focused on things that were strictly artistic and sometimes dark and psychotic. Hip hop was deep. It was a song you bobbed your head to. It was like poetry put in motion and beats to come to life. It wasn't about the amount of chicks you had sex with or the drugs to took or the money you threw around but something more than that.

Hip hop gave so many youths a sound regardless of where you were from or what you looked like. Even people who claimed to be hardcore rock fans saw some similarity of hip hop with rock and embraced it even if not publicly. Hip hop was the genre that we knew made us see more than just the surface of things.

I understand the trying to make it commercial but being too commercial is like losing the way and missing the point. Its like rejecting the NORM and accepting the CON. The hip hop right now is like insulting the listeners. Yes, that's the word INSULTING. Modern day hip hop is an insulting piece of shit.

For me being born in the eighties this crap I listen to today is a total disgrace and it shows how most of our artistes are missing the point and becoming cluesless. Hip hop has now turned to a side show nonsense. *sighs* i really miss GOOD QUALITY MUSIC. God, when are those days going to come again?

Sorry if i didn't stick to the point but seriously in my mind i think HIP HOP is dead. Some say its sleeping while others well, are in the demented region.

Before i sign off i want to give you a list of my favourite rappers of all time. If you don't agree with then its your cup of tea. I don't fucking care.

DUMB IT DOWN- LUPE FIASCO

Its an amazing piece from Mr. Lupe Fiasco. This song to me is one of the many wonders from Mr. Lupe Fiasco. This song has three verses and three choruses. Each of the chorus centres on the fact that Lupe should "dumb it down" meaning that he should stop being all philosophical or educational or insightful.

I felt each of the chorus very well even the verses but his system of rapping and lyrricism was way over my league so I'd stick with the choruses.

The First chorus;
You goin' over niggas' heads Lu (Dumb it down)
means that he isn't coming to their level i.e the level of the people in the streets.
They tellin' me that they don't feel you (Dumb it down)
the hood/streets don't understand him and don't like him.
We ain't graduate from school nigga (Dumb it down)
already self explanatory
Them big words ain't cool nigga (Dumb it down)

they don't like the vocabulary in his lyricism
Yeah I heard Mean And Vicious nigga (Dumb it down)
they already heard his song Mean and Vicious (though I've not heard the song)
Make a song for the bitches nigga (Dumb it down)
he should make a song about women
We don't care about the weather nigga (Dumb it down)
already explanatory.
You'll sell more records if you (Dumb it down)
already self explanatory.

In the each of the statements the phrase "dumb it down" was repeated.

This first phrase goes to talk about what most people felt about his first album FOOD & LIQUOR. Which was critically acclaimed and showed a different side to hip hop which was more than the vulgar lyrics and booty popping since in most hip hop songs and videos.


The Second chorus;
the voice that was used by Lupe sounded like that of a white man
You've been shedding too much light Lu (Dumb it down)
You make'em wanna do right Lu (Dumb it down)
They're getting self-esteem Lu (Dumb it down)
These girls are trying to be queens Lu (Dumb it down)
They're trying to graduate from school Lu (Dumb it down)
They're starting to think that smart is cool Lu (Dumb it down)
They're trying to get up out the hood Lu (Dumb it down)
I'll tell you what you should do (Dumb it down)

This chorus was based on the fat that Lupe somehow after the release of his debut album started this NERDINESS IS COOL campaign somehow. It kind seemed okay for most hood kids to do right especially girls and leave these hoods and make something off of themselves.

the Third chorus:
this part was more of a direct confrontation to him (Lupe). It talks about him not talking about his cars but about his skateboards and other nerdy stuff. It also made fun of him being on the GQ men of the year's list in 2006. It also highlighted the fact that he dosen't do the obvious in his videos like pouring champagne on chicks and other stuffs
You putting me to sleep nigga (Dumb it down)
That's why you ain't popping in the streets nigga (Dumb it down)
You ain't winning no awards nigga (Dumb it down)
Robots and skateboards nigga? (Dumb it down)
GQ Man Of The Year G? (Dumb it down)
Shit ain't rocking over here B (Dumb it down)
Won't you talk about your cars nigga? (Dumb it down)
And what the fuck is goyard nigga (Dumb it down)
Make it rain for the chicks (Dumb it down)
Pour champagne on a bitch (Dumb it down)
What the fuck is wrong with you? (Dumb it down)
How can I get on a song with you? (Dumb it down)

The overall of this song is based on the response he got from his debut album, especially the negative response. If you haven't heard then i recommend it to me its like one of the best hip hop songs of this millennium. Though this album THE COOL was very very much underappreciated. Its better than that thing Lil' Wayne made what the fuck is it called again .......THE CARTER THREE. That was some fucking demented hip hop album and so many demented souls were bobbing their heads to and buying it. Very sad.

Take care.

ANDROGYNE; THE MISCONCEPTION

An androgyne in terms of gender identity, is a person who does not fit cleanly into the typical masculine and feminine gender roles of their society. They may also use the term ambigender to describe themselves. Many androgynes identify as being mentally "between" woman and man, or as entirely genderless. This could be in fashion or in biology. Yes, I said it, BIOLOGY.

Most people think that being an androgyne means that you are either a HERMOPHRODITE or a HOMOSEXUAL or a BISEXUAL which is not true most of the time. Most androgynes in the world today hide their identities because of the fear of being judged or misinterpreted.

Before i got to the second paragrapgh above i made mention of BIOLOGY having a role in determining whether or not a person is going to be ANDROGYNOUS. Well there is something known as BRAIN SEX or in other words BRAIN GENDER. This is a situation which determines whether or not a child is going to be a TOMBOY or SISSY (androgynous characteristics). This is caused by the amount of hormone (TESTOSTERONE or ESTROGEN) secreted in the brain of the FOETUS.


In most babies, the "APPROPRIATE" hormone is secreted in the brain making a boy to have a MALE BRAIN and a girl, a FEMALE BRAIN but in other cases, the reverse is the case. People like these end up growing up as TOMBOYS or SISSIES.

The theory is also backed up by the length of our fingers. A girl with a female brain's INDEX FINGER is always longer than her RING finger and for boys with a male brain, the INDEX finger is shorter than the RING finger.

TOMBOYS fingers are like that of a typical boy and SISSIES fingers are also like that of a typical girl. This goes to show that most androgynes don't choose to be but are born that way.

Factors also influence people to become androgynes but it is very very very rare compared the ones born to be. Also most androgynes are forced by the factors around them that there is no place for them on this planet. Its more like there isn't any place in between, you are either a boy or a girl but most of the time nature doesn't really pan out the way we'd expect.

I was/am(whichever is correct) an androgyne. i also have the biological backing. My INDEX finger shorter than my Ring finger. I don't think a hundred percent like the normal female. I am a proud androgyne but MOST TIMES, I am being told that I am not a man. The thing that this people refuse to get is that I am not trying to be one. I was born with a male brain but people just don't get. Well, I didn't really did at first because I thought that external factors like growing up with guys made me who I am but until i started reading stuffs on BRAIN SEX and ANDROGYNY, I realised that I was actually born this way. So, PHYSICALLY, I am not a man but PSYCHOLOGICALLY- I guess from all indications it seems that I am.

Don't get it twisted too that I am some transsexual male trapped in a woman's body---HELL to the NO! I am so NOT! I am just a girl who is not a 100% female but I love my physical gender. To me i think I am lucky to be enjoying the best of both worlds. I love to buy and wear feminine clothes though I'm not too big on skirts and make-up but the rest I love even five-si inch heels. They are my favorite. Though some people would say I still look like I had put on some guy's outfit, its the fact that i can't help what i think. If my interpretation is like that of a dude thetn i guess is my MALE BRAIN coming into action. I also love to care about my hair. Its one thing I know that is a 100% feminine about me though I do have this male i-don't-give-a-shit attitude toward it but I know its just me being human. I am also HETEROSEXUAL. I am attracted to men only. I daydream of them only.

Most people try to make me feel inferior. Like I'm wrong for being who I am. As if I created myself..mmmm... IGNORANCE on display(of course they never admit it). Does being an androgyne make me less of a woman? ABSOLUTELY NOT and neither doe it make me much of a man but it does make me understand both sexes and this is what i term as PRICELESS.

SO WHAT, if you are an androgyne? If you are out there and people are try to fit you into a box like they do me especially if you are HETEROSEXUAL and not a HERMOPHRODITE then dearies, IGNORE them because they IGNORED KNOWLEDGE and live your lives the best way you can. If they don't like it then the can go HANG themselves.
