Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the NIGERIAN music awards are first held in LONDON, UK?

I look forward eagerly to the Oscars being held in Pakistan or perhaps the BAFTA being held in Mozambique. I'd even settle for the Booker Prize being announced from Lagos!

Humiliation comes in several guises!

[Big-K]

Lets accept it. We've been re-colonized

• Nigeria Police cannot investigate a murder case without inviting Scotland yard
• Nigerian soccer fans only watch English Premiership
• Our Girls are now dime-a-dozen for Oyibo guys
• You cannot win business in Nigeria unless you take a white face with you
• Nollywood awards are now in London
• Our President only gives interview to Oyibo press
• NMA awards is now in London
• London is now the choice place to die
• etc etc
• etc

Big K

You forgot they have moved some of the government treasury to the UK too!

[techsista]

Nice pictures . Can't wait to see the rest.

BREAKING NEWS: Obasanjo announces Atiku's 'resignation' in a Cabinet Meeting
held in London, UK...yesterday, says the Inauspicious News Agency (INA).

Auspicious.

Thank you Uche for this report and 4 being our eyes and ears around town. I must say if not for you and your juicy gists I would have retired from NVS a long time ago. More grease to ya head my broda, may the good Lord continue to make it shine for us .

Tell me Uche, who is the dude standing beside Chief Igbinedion on the right? Is he single? Jus asking o, ehem.

I'm so happy for Sammy Okposo that he won, he's my favorite gospel artiste. Simply love me some Sammy, but sometimes I wonder though if he de take style mix gospel with hiphop. I say give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God, but Sammy I still love ya songs, ur da best.

GFA:

You don't recognize John Fashanu the ex-soccer player??? Yes, he's the one on the right.

[Rola]

What was the information minister's mission there? Any opportunity to jump on the plane.

Thank you dearie, I know I have seen that face somewhere. See we are in the US, so we hardly see him as often as you Briticos, but I don't know if I should take this as a good news or bad news, b/c it means the cutie-pie is not single (GirlWif goes off to cry......).

Worreva Auspy, after that news above what is a sista to do, I'm just trying hard right now to keep up the attitude bro .

[Picasso]

Why are those girls in the 2nd pix above wearing blonde wigs/attachments? Sheeshh!

I guess that's another one-liner to Big K's list.

[Naija for life]

Big K,

I have news for you, my brother. The re-colonization your post decried in not restricted to Nigeria, but bedevils other African countries as well. You will recall that Togo jetissoned Stephen Keshi, the coach that saw them through the qualifying stages for the recently concluded world cup tournament, and hired a German alternative in his stead.

You will also recall that this German, who probably would have been hard pressed to associate the name Togo with a national entity prior to his commission, went on to preside over three ignoble losses, as well as unseemly wranglings over allowances between the Togolese players and their national football body.

In other words, the Togolese football association, sacked a devoted West African in favor of a German in aid of the imperative business of losing three games in short order. Couldn't they have retained Stephen Keshi and preserved West African pride as well as their resources? What was the point of embarking a foreign coach for the ultimate objective of attaining that which a west African could have accomplished with equal ease, but at lower economic and social cost? Afterall, if this German was such a lightning rod of a Coach, why wasn't he engaged by a high profile team prior to the Togolese solicitation? Why wasn't he coaching the German national team, for instance?

So you see, Nigeria commands no exclusivity in voluntary servitude. We comfortably sin in good company in the respect your post addressed.

[Auspicious]

NFL -

"Voluntary Servitude" indeed it is..and the Togo example you sited makes ones
heart bleed. What's more, we go doing the 'monkey see, monkey do' business,
and that would have been excusable if and only if, we actually do what we see
the way the originators/authors do it. It is why you see the Federal Republic of
Nigeria includes the freedom of speech as part of the provisions guaranteed by
the Consitution BUT the National Assembly still goes out of her way to enact a
law that prescribes a blanket ban, not only on homosexualism, but on the rights
of ANYONE in Nigeria to protest for/against homosexualism. It is also why in
some places in Lagos, Kaduna, Abuja, Port Harcourt, you see our fellow citizens
clad in three piece suits - complete with tie drawn up tight - sweating profusely
in the African sun of 35C and above. Oh well..time to go listen to some
Afrobeats o jare! Fela's 'Colomentality' sounds like a good idea..or maybe I
should just play 'Gentleman'. What do you say? Na wa!

"...I no be Gentleman at..I no be Gentleman at all..I be Africaman - Original"
"(I no be Gentleman at all oh!)"...

Auspicious.

This is the greatest thing ever happen to Nigerian in Diaspora. NMA is a platform to eradicate the negativity perpetuated by western media. The onus rests on us to establish our greatest nation as number one in black continent. The organisers of NMA have taken it upon themselves to establish this without the support of the Nigeria government.

The show must have cost a fortune. Listening to the organiser on BEN TV few days ago suggested closed to 100k. I applaud the organiser for not putting a price on the nation, but using their own personal finance to showcase Nigerian artistes to European market. BBC, LBC, MTV BASE etc was there on the night to capture Nigerian artistes. This could not have been possible if the maiden edition was been stage in Nigeria. (BRAVO)

We Nigerian should applaud the move and support it to the core. I can only suggest to the organiser to use the move as an avenue creating tourism in Nigeria by staging the next NMA in Nigeria as suggested.

Let us do more by encouraging our culture internationally.

Congratulation to the organiser.

Thats is why I keep telling people our leaders are not the only problem. When we have ordinary people doing stupid stuff like this, what do they expects the leaders to do. Is funny people like Uche Nworah and Rudoplh Okwonkwo(WIC) support these crappy events.


It also boils down to one thing: (Most) Black man is always looking for cheap fame.

Blackman: Prof(Dr) Ade Ajayi, Bsc.(Harvard), Msc (Princeton), PhD(Dustin)

Look at the above mess, using Dr and Prof together and trying to tell the whole world he went to this and that.

RightMan: Ade Ajayi, PhD

Devoid of unneccessary trash.
