What on earth could have caused this cruelty? Check the wife and check the hubby. Something is amiss!

Nollywood: Igbohood, Hausahood, Yorubahood?

Just last week, I came across an article online where I got to know that the Yoruba movie industry are sort of creating the Yoruba movie scene parlance, Yorubawood. I could not laugh out this unwholesome patois. For God's sake, what we know Nigeria for is Nollywood, not Yorubahood, Hausahood, Igbohood or 'anytribehood'.

I heard they (Yoruba movie makers) were of the complaint that Nollywood does not apply nor exist to their advantage.  So, it was pertinent to carve out a niche from the Nollywood base. SMH#

Wait a minute, there are more than 250 tribes in Nigeria. Does this then means that other tribes who feel unsatisfied with the benefit (where is the benefit sef) Nollywood tends to offer or is offering.

In fact, you have got to read the article here.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

If you want your life to be more valuable, you must realistically ask yourself how much you are worth, which should be calculated thus:

Deduct all the tax and government dues you pay. Divide your total take-home after tax by the total number of hours you work in a year. Whatever it results is what one's hour is worth.

Hannah Robertson, Age 9, Chastises McDonald's CEO Over Junkfood

Still in the mood of celebrating children, 9years old Hannah Robertson has become a celebrity owing to her unimaginable effrontery to confront the CEO of McDonalds, Don Thompson, at McDonald's annual shareholders meeting in Chicago on May 23.

- "There are things in life that aren't fair—like when your pet dies. I don't think it's fair when big companies try to trick kids into eating food."

- "It would be nice if you stopped trying to trick kids into wanting to eat your food all the time."

- "Mr. Thompson, don't you want kids to be healthy so they can live a long and healthy life?"

These are direct quotes from Hannah Robertson.

Thompson's response to Hannah?

"We don't sell junk food."

I look forward to a time like this in Nigeria when children's voices will count, when their opinions will be carefully observed and given due consideration.

Happy children's day to all children! Wait a minute, what would you do if this boy were your child? I just can't imagine how a boy as grown up as this could not write A - Z comfortably.

OLAMIDE vs DAGRIN: WHO IS BETTER?

Olamide and Dagrin are two Yoruba lyrics phenomenon, who have definitely carved a niche for themselves. While the former is still alive, the latter has gone to the great beyond, but his memories still lingers. That is why I thought of this sort of comparison. Especially, considering the fact that Olamide is now the rave of the moment. Just like Dagrin became a household name in the Nigerian music industry, "Badoo", as Olamide is usually fondly called, has as well broken and made his way to the top of the game. "Badoo" has now become a trending slang among Nigerian youths. Even my 1year old nephew always mutter "First of all, bend down low", one of Olamide's popular songs.

Would Olamide really be the rave if Dagrin had been alive? Or would there have been a stiff competition between these two geniuses? 

While still musing these, I checked through my contacts on BBM, to check what they are up to, I saw something that got my attention...found out that someone, Whale, had actually dissed Olamide, calling him a fake Dagrin. I no fit laugh for Nigerian music industry o...Everyone seeking for cheap popularity.

Anyway, I wouldn't want to do a lot of exposition, let's here what you have got to say. 

Who is the better Yoruba wrapper between Olamide and Dagrin?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Yesterday was actually my birthday, not today. That explains why I couldn't come online. I was being showered love and admiration by family members, colleagues and friends. Oh! Even corporate organisations made my day too. 

Linda Ikeji had her last year's birthday party abroad, sponsored by fans. Well, since my fans and readers were not willing to do that, Google surprised me with a cakey Google page, specially for me.

Hopefully, I would have my birthday celebrated in Dubai next year, sponsored by Ayiri...*winks* You still don't know Ayiri? The rich guy that sponsored 2face's Dubai wedding now...ehen!
