Question for today!

I read this article on Daily post and thought i should share and of course ask questions. But please read the article with me...

...Davido had all the time in the world to hype his debut, but I have just this brief opportunity to tell the ugly truth about it. And tell it I will, because “the truth is always more heroic than the hype.” Fact: ‘Omo Baba Olowo’, that misnomer of an album, is a contrived collection of forgettable formulaic tracks. All sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Clearly, someone (I suspect a certain Asa Asika) has been lying to Davido about his music. Or perhaps the notoriously shallow Nigerian music audience unwittingly invented the deception that is his so-called talent. Either way, the young man must have taken his sudden, almost Illuminati-ish rise to fame to the head, (mis)leading him to release a directionless, decidedly premature product as his debut album. To his credit, if he had recorded this hack job with a loaded and cocked shotgun aimed at his privates, he couldn’t have done much worse. *cue Homeric laughter*

Inspired by the jack-of-all-trades running wild in Nigeria’s unfortunately prolific movie industry (Funke Akindele-Oloyede, I’m looking at you), Davido wears multiple hats – singer, songwriter and (occasional) producer – to disastrous effect on ‘Omo Baba Olowo’. While I can bite my tongue and allow his passable (read: untrained and Auto-Tune compensated) singing voice, er, pass without much comment, it is impossible to voluntarily ignore his particularly terrible songwriting. No one song on the album epitomises that lyrical deficiency better than the delusively catchy ‘Down’, a poster child for the nonsensical formula currently being applied with resounding success across the Nigerian music scene: [vacuous lyrics] x [sexual theme] + [upbeat instrumentals] = surefire hit.

Okay, Pause.

I know it's kinda long but, just continue for the day's question.

Thought of The Day!

Well i was just thinking! And Browsing and Stumbled on an article (Actually, an interview with this beautiful lady!)

Here's the question that caught my attention.

"Do you deliberately use the lips to attract men?" and her reply was: How do you mean? I don’t go out of my ways to use my lips to draw attention. However, most men would tell me that they love my lips. Some would even ask that a single kiss would be enough for them and all that.



The question is... Are those lips attractive?  Well, i don't know. Are they? Hehehe

Soldiers Attack Lagos Officials

There was pandemonium on Wednesday at Murtala Muhammed Way, Yaba after some soldiers allegedly attacked policemen attached to the Lagos State special security outfit, the Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit.

It was learnt that the soldiers used bottles and stones to attack the task force officials.
They were also said to have punctured two tyres of the Black Maria belonging to the unit with knives.
According to eyewitnesses, trouble started when the task force officials, who were on patrol, accosted the driver of a commercial bus for obstructing traffic flow.

However, a soldier who was sitting in the bus snatched the key from the driver to prevent the officials from taking the bus away. After few minutes of heated arguments, the soldier was said to have called for assistance from an army base not far from the scene of the trouble.

Within minutes, many soldiers trooped out from the base and began to throw stones and other objects at the task force officials. Some of the soldiers were said to have gone to the Black Maria brought by the task force and deflated two of its tyres.

An eyewitness said comments from the soldiers suggested that they were also angry with way Governor Babatunde Fashola treated a Colonel, who drove on BRT lane on Tuesday.

As the situation tensed up, the task force officials also called for help to match the number of soldiers attacking them. The crisis was allegedly escalated by a Lieutenant-Colonel who arrived on the scene and ordered the soldiers to bundle some of the task force officials into the barracks.
Calm was, however, restored when a senior task force official intervened and led his men away from the area without arresting the driver.

Task Force Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, confirmed the attack.
He said, “It as an affront on the state government because the soldiers vandalised government vehicle.
“The attack was uncalled for as those task force officials were on legitimate duty.”

 He added that he would be reporting the attack to higher authorities in the state.
But the spokesman for 81 Division, Lt. Col. Kayode Ogunsanya, said he was not aware of the incident.
He said, “I don’t think such thing was reported and except it is reported, there is no way I will know.”
The spokesman for the state police command, Ms. Ngozi Braide, said, “I heard about the incident, but I have yet to been fully briefed on it.”

Kendra Wilkinson Defends Jessica Simpson Figure: Leave Her Alone!

The noise about. [Yes Noise] Jessica Simpson not losing weight has gotten a bash. Kendra Wilkinson has Simpson’s back on the weight issue.

"That just breaks my heart," Wilkinson tells Yahoo! OMG of the criticism leveled at Simpson's figure. "I feel for her. I was in the same boat. People just need to mind their own business. That's a woman who just gave birth.

""Her first priority right now is her child. Her first priority is not losing the weight. You should be proud of her for that. A lot of people just dump their kids off at nannies and lose the weight overnight. We should all be proud of her for being real and taking control and making priorities."

Quoting TMG: “That may be the most intelligent thing Kendra has ever said.”

Simpson, meanwhile, is profiting mightily off her body. She recently signed a $4 million deal with Weight Watchers.

Reps in rowdy session over deployment of soldiers

Members of the House of Representatives were divided on Wednesday over the alleged deployment of 3,500 soldiers in Edo State by the Federal Government for Saturday’s governorship poll.
The development caused a delay in the proceedings for some minutes.

The session became rowdy when the majority Peoples Democratic Party members tried to shout down a member of the Action Congress of Nigeria who complained about the troop deployment.

The lawmaker, Mr. Bimbo Daramola from Ekiti State, had raised a matter of urgent public importance to draw the attention of the House to the troop deployment.

Daramola said since there was no war in Edo State, he could not understand the essence of deploying 3,500 soldiers for the election.

“This is a constitutional matter, Mr. Speaker,” he said, but was shouted down.
The Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, came to his aid by advising members to allow Daramola to make his point.

However, when the matter was put to vote, Daramola was defeated in a majority “nay” voice vote.
After the ruling, some members started shouting “PDP, power”, “PDP, power and for some minutes, the lawmakers became unruly.

Plateau Massacre: Christians must change to Islam or continue to die – Boko Haram

THE dreaded  Islamic sect, popularly  known as Boko Haram, had on Tuesday issued  a statement admitting that it was responsible  for the weekend massacre in Plateau state, stating that if Christians continue to remain adamant with their faith, they will continue to die.

It was reported that more than 100 people, mainly women and children were  killed in attacks on three communities in the Barkin Ladi and Riyom local government areas of the state between  Saturday and Sunday.

The militant group had thanked Allah for a successful attack launched on the Christian community in the state and stating further in the most earnest way  that they would not give up  on its continuous attack  launched against Christians and the government which it had tagged a jihad war already. It also asked “Christians in Nigeria to accept Islam” as a condition for a ceasefire.

It debunked the claim made by the new National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, that he had contact with the militant group, stating that it was only a” new lie” constructed to deceive Nigerians.

Here's their  Statement

Adele Due Date Revealed: Mid-September!

Neither the 24-year-old nor her boyfriend has commented on the report or the pregnancy at all beyond their initial announcement last month.

However, UK celebrity gossip sources claimed this morning that Adele will be hearing the pitter-patter of tiny feet by the middle of September.

And according to THG it's the  “Shortest. Pregnancy. Ever.”

Okay, maybe not for Adele herself, but for the public. Unlike Jessica Simpson's very public gestation period, which was marked by Twitpics, nude Elle covers and absurd quotes for months on end.
