TIMAYA'S ENCOMIUM GOOF.

Anybody who is conversant with Timaya, a nigerian musician's style of music would readily agree with me that this guy has got no real stuff if you know what i mean. His is a style of music that defies any real definition of style as he just sings without any real inspiration;  except perhaps that of marijuana which he sings about. Style as  i know is objective just as every human being has the freedom to definr his or her style. Timaya's style like that of a bad musician is highly predictable. All he sing about are HIS ENEMIES, DEM MAMA, OLOFOFO, NA ME BE EGBERI ONE OF BAYELSA bla bla bla.   I am not here however talk about his rather braggadocios style of music which has prompted pundits to label him   a' weather ' musician that would just come and fade away.    timaya has been branded as arrogant so many times which i refused to believe until recently when he granted an interview to a Nigerian softsell ENCOMIUM.  He was asked about his rumoured relationship with actress BIS IBIDAPO OBE and he said ' NO, I AM NOT DATING HER, HOW CAN I DATE HER? AN ORDINARY YORUBA ACTRESS '.  That was just enough confirmation of his arrogance.   He seems to have forgotten that the statement was a careless one capable of heating up the polity in Nigeria where issues regarding religion and ethnicity are held as fragile due to people's sensitivity.  Timaya seems to have forgotten that one cannot be a star forever as there actually is not difference between masses and the so called celebrities. He should also try to add some sensibilty to his music if he wants to last on the scene because he should remember that vulgarity never lasts, sensibility does. Perhaps, he should ask Ebenezer obey, KSA and so on why their songs remain ever green even years after they had released them. timaya should take a clue from these gus or else, he would just fade away like a candle in the wind.

Nigerian leaders; myopic?

  It is no longer news that an unexamined mind is not worth living while i will say that an uneducated mind is an empty mind. So, in lieu of this, one would expect a sensitive, sensible and action oriented government to invest heavily in education since that is the way by which the future of the future generation and indeed the country can be set on the right path. it is on this note that the United Nations advised countries to dedicate some sizeable chunk of their budjt to education. Howecver , Nigeria is a defaulter here as the GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS has mentioned Nigeria as the country that allocates the lowest amount to education in the world. The industrial action embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)has passed a month now, yet, the government is not in the least concerned, or let me say pretends to be concerned by the plight of the Lecturers in our ivory towers.The  government is unconcerned about ASUU and the students because they do not know where the shoe pinches. Their children do not attend the GLORIFIED SECONDARY SCHOOLS CALLED UNIVERSITIES.their children attend ivy league school, sponsored with stolen money;tax payers money.    The health sector is no exception. Doctors are threatening to go on strike and all they are asking for from government is for government to upgrade Hospitals from DEATH FASTENING CENTRES to LIFE SAVING CENTRES. No wonder the ruling class and thier family travel abroad just to treat  Headache. What am i saying? the Nigerian ruling class are a heartless set of people who are only pretend to love the masses by thier words but who in action do not. They want we the poor to die in numbers so that the world can be for them only.   Anyway, i only pray that this strike is called off because i am growing old and my mates are getting married. if not , i would enrol in a private Universities belonging to one of my oppressors. yes, they are spoiling the public education sector so that we can run to their own private institutions. ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL U WOULD SAY!!!
