The kind of recruitment American colleges make is quite fascinating.
Who would have thought there would be a sprinting talent from a place like Malaysia?
38.03s!! 🔥
The Auburn quartet of Azeem Fahmi 🇲🇾, Kanyinosola Ajayi 🇳🇬, Dario Matau 🇿🇦 and Maka Charamba 🇿🇼 clock the third fastest time in collegiate history to take the NCAA 4x100m title ahead of LSU (38.21s) & Houston (38.25s)

In as much as we can all marvel at his rise , personally I am still adamant that he is not ready for a lot shows they are pushing him to do , so many work needs to be done on his live performance which can be horn by doing smaller venues like the ones Ckay is doing .
Nigerians pretty much give the black race a bad name more than BA or Jamaicans.From the UK to Italy to Dubai to Malay to Japan to Brazil to South Africa,this same issue of cultism,internet frauds,drug and human trafficking are prevalent amongst Naija communities in these places.

Abeg, I'm judging this one by its cover and from its cover I can deduce the book is filled with blank pages.

Promoters have turned him to money bag and they don't care about his longevity as long as he can sell out the tickets now . A lot of these guys need to copy Burna's template ,your live performance will take you far than your hit songs .
It's not something I like doing ,but I can't deny that Burna Boy is currently the most in demand black artiste in the world and that guy isn't slowing down.

That's how she behaves,very erratic human being,reason why lot of WNBA teams stay away from her ,even though she is a very good basketball "big man" ,she comes with bags of troubles that usually tends to disrupt the team.
@JoeyAkan
People are really becoming overbearing with the Grammy, forgetting this award is solely am American award. People think it's the World music awards .
@Mzdelah
The revenue Ghana's economy make is not even up to what Lagos state make. But you want us to believe there is someone richer than Otedola without a visible & profitable company in Ghana or the continent.
And this goes out to artistes on the continent always quick to complain about Nigerian artistes dorminating their home country radio airwaves and television stations.Music is a business that rely much on PR and marketing.
Dear artists in Uganda, paying for PR is important, ask the artists that are being booked in Uganda. Music is a business not a playground for dreams you had when you was young !! Read this thrice!! There is the MUSIC INDUSTRY and the MUSIC BUSINESS!! Learn the difference
Never make the mistake of wearing western clothes in traditional setting like this .You would end up looking like a "house boy" no matter how expensive your western clothes .

Nigerians need to accept that Apple products are luxury items in the class of High fashion brands and the Nigeria market doesn't align with the kind of market they want to sell directly to ,reason why the sell through 3rd dealership.
My Africa Footballer of the Year playing on the continent is Percy Tau . I'm so glad he didn't take the popular route that SA players take whenever they have an unsuccessful campaign in Europe(going back to the PSL) . He went to the most competitive league on the continent....
Rema has his flaws ,but he is a superstar in making . The potential are just too glaring . Kudos to Mavin/Jonzing Records for the incredible artist development they put into their acts.
@enoho
This is will disagree, Nigerians are way more informed about the continent and well traveled ,mostly for economic opportunity than other africans . Maybe in terms of domineering attitude ,which is very common amongst people that come from densely populated nations.
Atiku on VOA:
In all parameters, Nigeria fared far better under PDP than under APC. PDP brought Prosperity while APC brought poverty.
On security: more security personnel and equipment, and Devolution of Powers with policing on concurrent list.

Let's check his numbers on other streaming platforms and you will see the stack difference between him and the Nigerian guys.Moreover ,there were rumours that he and the artistes under his labels were buying views on YouTube.
Colonization really did harm to Africans.Three young Africans on the same dinner table but we couldn’t communicate because I speak English & both speaks French & Portuguese respectively!
I seriously don’t get why following Africa’s biggest ever footballing win ever, a segment of African influencers decided to endorse this hating message and just reject a win for the continent.
I can only understand it as some deeply ingrained commitment to take Ls and Ls only.
Some acts are finding their niche in the international market,while some are crying about not being able to find "organic hit".
It's all in the mentality.

One of these days we will need to have a discussion about how implementing the so called "American blueprints" aren't that effective on the continent (Africa).Africa is still a poor continent with low purchasing poor.
@Oludeewon
Hoping for at least an in state tuition fee and I will supplement with an Mpower or Prodigy loan. Then when I get there ,will try and get a GT or Administrative work that can reduce the tuition further .
@abike1999
Bad PR ,we aren't even in the Top 5 nations that are into scamming. Also unlike the other guys who run the scam network from their country ,we are scattered around the globe which in turn gives us that bad name whenever the naija scammers are caught in other countries.
"If the world can pay attention to one artist from Africa, why can’t they pay attention to all?" Wizkid asks in an interview for our 2022 Grammy Preview.
@FajSports
Brazilian and Argentine Leagues probably pay better than South African league and definitely of higher football quality,but they all still troop to Europe to compete with the best footballers which in turn benefits the National team.

@MJWemoto
The success of this American blueprints largely depended on the purchasing power of the market they are selling to.Most of the billionaires our the continent make their riches from low price -high volume commodities (Dangote,Strive Masiyiwa) and extraction of mineral resources.
@SirJarus
I could remember one Zimbabwean telling me when Okocha & the Nigerian team came to Harare for a WC Qualifiers and he did the cross bar challenge with 5 balls hitting the same spot on the cross bar during his training session. Nigeria end up winning the match by 3 goals to nil.
PO: Diamond Platnumz is not trying to break into the Naija market rather he is taking advantage of the Naija influence and platform due to its current visibility and reach on the intl scene reason why he does a little bit of Afrobeats and collabs with Naija acts.
Currently, Sporting Lagos may not have a full stadium, but their supporters are among the most active in the league.
The atmosphere was electric all through the game today.

Absolutely,she knew what she wanted to achieve with that tweet either way ,it was going to be "SA huns are the best in the world" just to make her feel good.
@omaakatugba
Their bottom place at Afcon has not taught them a lesson ,because of a fluke victory over Nigeria at WC qualifier after a controversial victory over South Africa.
@SirJarus
They sacked the radio presenter working for the government radio after that match for over praising Okocha during the match 😂😂. Some players are just exceptionally gifted with the ball ,they make things look unbelievable.
When I tell people Afrobeats is not the biggest genre on the continent,they tend to act surprise. Dancehall and Hip hop are the 2 biggest genre on the continent.
Empire Mates State of Mind, the 2012 compilation album by E.M.E All Stars is now available on Apple Music and Spotify 💿
The album was originally released on June 18, 2012 and includes the popular singles “Baddest Boy,” “Dance For Me” and “Ko Mo Le”
Inter Milan - Perelli ; Arsenal- JVC ; Napoli - Buitoni ; Lyon - Novotel ; Real Madrid - Bwin; Bayern Munich - Opel ; Man United - SHARP and the list goes of iconic jerseys which sponsors greatly enhanced their aesthetic.
Sponsorless kits are nice in a retro sorta way, but we gotta quit pretending every kit without a sponsor actually looks good.
Some sponsor logos/text elevate the overall aesthetic of a kit and that’s been the custom for 4 decades now.
Las Vegas was literally built on Italian Mobs money disguised as investments from pension funds .
People too dey put USA on this high scale of integrity and no corruption.
This why I do side eye Mama Africa(Kidjo) after her Rolling Stone interview,where Miriam Makeba told her never to allow Americans box her in World Music category .Over 20 years now ,Mama is still collecting awards in that same category.
If Ghanaian media don't ask Nigerian artistes what they think about Ghanaian acts. The interview won't be complete and I'm always happy the way the artistes are always praising Ghanaian acts.
Otile Brown is partially right with regards to language being a contributing factor to how far a song can go global or continental ,but everyone love pointing to Nigerian act that sing majorly in English and its diluted version pidgin with dash of local language (Yoruba).
EXCLUSIVE 🚨
Spotify announces “Global Impact List” which features 30 Nigerian songs with the biggest GLOBAL streaming numbers in the 1st half of 2024!
The list includes:
• Ayra Starr
• Tems
• Omah Lay
• Burna Boy
• Pheelz
• Kizz Daniel

• Seyi
Growing up ,lot of Nigerians felt Koffi Olomide was a Nigerian from his last name and he actually confirmed it years later, that his grand father was actually part Sierra Leone part Nigerian.
@FansTribeHQ
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview, hopefully, you guys extend this to the Nigerian Premier League stakeholders like the Rangers Int'l's coach and some of their players.
I don't expect a foreign act to pull more fans for a concert over a top local act. Foreign acts strength have always be their ability to pull a demographic of high spending fans in a country and as such they are mostly cater to a niche in most countries they go.

It's always funny whenever an African nation is in crisis and the first set of people they want to blame for not assisting,are nations outside the continent.
