Daniel 11:5 says that the "King of the South", the Arabs, "will grow strong." They have since the term "petrol politics" became so important. The Bible said that the Arab's "hand would be against everyone" and that he would be as a "wild donkey" (Gen. 16:12). But God promised to multiply the descendents of the Arabs (Genesis 16:10), and bless them. He planted their tents on the oil wells of the earth! But the 22 nations surrounding Israel are determined to exterminate her.
The Islamic Mein Kampf
The "Arab Spring." The mainstream media clung to this phrase last year in their giddy haste to promote what they saw as a flowering of freedom-loving, democratic uprisings across the Arab world, for which they were eager to credit President Obama's famed Cairo speech as partial inspiration. Instead, it unfolded with freedom-hating Islamic fundamentalists seizing political dominance, and the Arab Spring came to look more a Muslim Winter. What went wrong?
The Muslim Brotherhood's American charm offensive got off to a rough start this week. Members of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), the Brotherhood's political wing, arrived in Washington D.C. this week for a series of meetings with U.S. officials, media, and think tanks, with the purpose of presenting a moderate image of the Brotherhood and allaying fears that it will impose Sharia law and threaten Egypt's minority groups, including secularists and Coptic Christians. Instead, the Brotherhood's delegation was confronted with news that, back in Egypt, those fears were being confirmed.
The situation in cities besieged by the Syrian army is getting bloodier, while the political situation gets more confused and muddled by the day. A UN peace plan being pushed by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, first accepted by President Bashar Assad and the rebels, is in the process of failing, as once again, the Syrian dictator has reneged on implementing the terms. As Syrian tanks and artillery continue to attack several cities, the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups are beginning to flex their muscles in the councils of the political opposition, while radical Sunnis form independent battalions to fight the Syrian army — and the Alawite minority running Syria — declaring jihad on the Syrian dictator while fighting under the black flag of radical Islam.
"We are the only major political party in Egypt that acknowledged we will honor the treaty with Israel."
The speaker was Dr. Amr Darrag, a senior member of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) and the Muslim Brotherhood appearing this week in London. Following the FJP's success in the first free parliamentary elections to take place in Egypt, the party has begun sending delegations of party members to countries around the world, meeting with politicians and opinion-makers, in an attempt to convince them of the Muslim Brotherhood's new and moderate image.
Let's do a little exploration of Islam and Judeo-Christian teachings for ourselves. The best place I know to find out about anything, especially religion, is to look at its own writings. You see, unlike the politicians and, unfortunately, most of what passes for the church these days, I believe that people are intelligent enough to arrive at their own conclusions when they know the facts. Of course, with the pressures of day-to-day life, it seems that there is little time left over to examine with a critical eye what our news media and preachers are telling us regarding religious beliefs. So, I've done a little research of my own that I would like to share with you.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party appeared to be a big winner in the first round of parliamentary elections held in Egypt on Monday and Tuesday. Early returns suggest the FJP captured as much as 40% of the vote with a surprisingly strong showing from the Salifist al-Nour party.
The parliamentary elections that have begun in Egypt will impress only the most starry-eyed of democracy champions. These are the people who, like Senator Joe Lieberman?, think that the "Arab Spring" is all about people "demanding lives of democracy, dignity, economic opportunity, and involvement in the modern world."
Why would Iran authorize a major terrorist operation on American soil? Skeptics say the much-discussed "foiled" Iranian plot makes no sense.
Recent events demonstrate that the so-called Arab Spring uprisings have toppled three North African tyrants that may be replaced by Islamist regimes. President Barack Obama deserves some credit if that happens, and the consequences could be devastating.

Points of contention
"It wasn't me!" pleaded Jamaican hitmaker Shaggy over a funky pop reggae beat in his 2001 hit of the same name.
While our 'Shags' was making reference to some clandestine and not-strictly-above-board wooing of a member of the opposite sex, a similar denial of guilt was issued by the energy secretary Chris Huhne in regards to a speeding offence in 2003.
According to his estranged wife, Vicky Pryce, he got her to take the hit on some penalty points, allowing him to get off scot-free. But now, he's been formally charged with perverting the course of justice, which is officially a Pretty Big Deal.
As we're sure you're aware, picking up speeding points can make your car insurance more expensive, but given that Huhne is believed to have a portfolio of eight properties, including a £1.3m London home, we can't imagine that would have caused him too much financial bother.
Still, if he found his policy got too pricey, he could have logged on to Gocompare.com and perhaps found himself a better deal. While getting accused of passing your points on to a friend, family member or lover might not cost you a place in the cabinet (Huhne resigned just as The Money Shot was getting cobbled together this morning in order to concentrate on clearing his name), it could end up landing you in more serious trouble than in the first place.
Whether or not Chris passed his points on or not is for the courts to decide but if this is the sort of hassle it causes, then just take it on the chin. Or better still, don't speed at all.
Quote of the week
"Why is high pay called 'compensation'? What on earth are they victims of that they need compensation? It's pay. Even 'remuneration' is daft."
Paul Lewis, host of BBC Radio 4's consistently excellent and informative Moneybox, doesn't mince his words on the executive pay issue.
H2-Oh No
Apparently, 71 per cent of the earth's surface is water. With it being in such abundant supply, you'd be forgiven for raising a quizzical eyebrow to half-mast at why it's getting so bloomin' expensive.
After all, five million British homes have just been declared 'at risk' of flooding - you'd think that there was more than enough to go round. But this week, the water industry watchdog Ofwat (try saying that after two lager tops) said that the average water and sewage bill of a household in England and Wales would rise by an average of £20 a year to £376 from April this year.
Regina Finn, Ofwat's chief excecutive, was on hand to defend the price rises. She said that the regulator will "make sure" that customers got value for money, which presumably means we'll all now get fizzy Perrier water coming out of our taps.
With all this gloom and doom on the cards, thank heavens for TV's scrimping sensei Martin Lewis, who had the following sage of words of advice for folk wanting to save on their water bills by changing their lavatory habits. "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down," urged the Money Saving Expert to his Twitter followers. Just as we were just about to turn down that imminent invitation we're epxecting to a candlelit supper at Casa Lewis, he clarified: "this is not one I do - too hardcore for me."
Thanks for clearing that one up, Martin.
Fred Goodwin, the ex-boss of RBS was the victim of a rather painful 'sir-cumcision' and has had his knighthood removed. Oddly enough, one of the only people who stepped up to defend Fred was tartan enthusiast and former F1 driver Jackie Stewart.
A record 9.45 million self-assessment tax forms were returned on time, according to HMRC.
Nearly half a million of these were filed (and probably furiously filled-in) in on the deadline of January 31st. The 'big six' energy companies have been cleared of cooking the books by industry watchdog Ofgem and 'forensic accountancy' (sounds more exciting than it probably is) firm BDO.
We might all save about £45 a year on the cost of our car insurance if there was a 6mph minimum speed for whiplash related claims – a persistent pain in the neck for industry.
On Gocompare.com News this week
Dave Jenkins donned his safari hat and met five owners of some rather exotic pets. WARNING: Contains unspeakably cute African pygmy hedgehog.
There was talk afoot of mandatory bank accounts for 16 year olds. Simon Culhane, Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) said that that the measure will make personal finance matters "practical, personal and highly relevant." A teenage spokesman allegedly responded by grunting, stomping upstairs and slamming his bedroom door before settling in for a good five hour session on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Being a company based in the pleasant South Wales city of Newport, we're big fans of all things 'safe' at Gocompare.com. As you can imagine, we were delighted when the results of Euro NCAP 'Safest in class' awards landed a few days ago.
And finally…
There was something fishy afoot in rural Northern Ireland this week, as a lorry stuffed to the gills with 20 tonnes of mackerel overturned into a field belonging to 71 year old cattle and sheep farmer Gordon Finn.
"The one really bizarre thing was though, is that there wasn't a smell of fish. I think there was more than enough to feed the 5,000. We could have fed the 5,000 five thousand times over," said the shocked farmer.
Thankfully, the driver of the lorry which was carrying the Omega 3-rich cargo escaped unscathed and returned to the scene of the accident to help up with the clean-up operation.

BMW is the US auto industry's leading exporter
- Chris Bruce
- Jul 18, 2014
Which automaker do you think ships the most cars out of North America, one of the Detroit Three or perhaps one of the Japanese automakers? Nope.

BMW readying Spartanburg expansion for X7 production
- Noah Joseph
- Mar 24, 2014
Prior to the debut of the original X5 in 1999, the idea of a BMW crossover might have seemed like heresy. But here we are, fifteen years removed from the Frank Stephenson-penned design, and the Bavarian automaker has expanded its crossover lineup to include the X1, X3, X4 and X6, and it's showing no sign of slowing down.

According to a report from CNNMoney, BMW has been hit with a lawsuit from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission after revised criminal background check policies resulted in the dismissal of 88 contractors, 70 of whom (that's about 80 percent) were black. A total of 645 contractors were required to submit to background checks at BMW's facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina after BMW switched contract companies at its plant.

It has been 20 years since BMW broke ground on its Spartanburg, SC manufacturing facility, and while the automaker doesn't have any plans to mark the moment, economists and industry analysts have taken a closer look at the facility's impact on South Carolina, the South and global manufacturing. As of November, the Spartanburg plant's 7,000 employees cranked out 25,000 vehicles per month, and BMW has poured some $6 billion into the state since the plant opened in 1993. While that figure nearly ma

Use of the health center will be made available to existing employees, eligible retirees and

Automotive News Europe is reporting that BMW may be looking into expanding the number of models that the company manufactures here in the States.

The Mercedes-Benz Baltimore vehicle process center has secured a five-year contract to inspect, process, and repair pre-delivery BMW and Mini vehicles arriving in the United States. It's a deal that makes economic sense for both companies, say that automakers.

Last Chance for White Pants
Top: I made it! Pants: TJ Maxx, Clutch: J.Crew, Watch: Micheal Kors, Bracelet: J.Crew, Shoes: old
Hurry, Labor Day is almost here! It's your last chance to wear white pants!
With the holiday weekend quickly approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to do one last white pants post, and I have to say, I LOVE this one!
Pink and orange have definitely been one of my favorite color combinations this summer (besides green and blue) so when I saw this bold, ikat printed fabric I knew I had to make something out of it. So, I bought a basic tank pattern, threw a shirt together and altered it to make a great v-neck back. Pairing it with white jeans, simple heals and an awesome clutch this was my go-to summer ensemble.

Green Pants
Top: Gap, Pants: J Brand c/o My-Wardrobe.com & GaryPepperVintage.com, Earrings: Frill, Bracelet: Frill, Watch: Michael Kors, Shoes: Jack Rogers
Thank you so much to My-Wardrobe.com & Gary Pepper Vintage for these awesome J Brand pants! I won them in a contest a couple months ago and absolutely love them. Although most people would probably pair these with neutral colored pieces, I prefer to make the pants even more bold by pairing them with a vibrant print. As you can probably tell from my "White Pants" post, I love putting green and blue together, so to me, this ikat print top was the perfect match! With a touch of green in the earrings and simple gold accessories, I finished the look.
Need a little color in your wardrobe? Try a bright pair of pants. PS - Be sure to check out the linked pages!

'Eeeyyysss, hold it!
Before some o' y'all begin to talk your dirty trash back at me, lemme be clear that not all the photos represented have a thing to do with this piece. I just loved particular copies too much that I couldn't but stitch them up in a grid. Then again, they must have slept or stank at some point before the second coming of the messiah. So really, mas que nada!
I watched the African remake version of "We Are The World" and everytime I saw a Nigerian, with Tiwa Savage, Praiz and Yemi Alade being the exceptions… oh Emma Nyra too, I had to ask myself 'but why?'
But why, Sean Tizzle why?
But why, Banky W… and why the bazinga, Kcee why?
Even to the assemblage of what I've chosen to term the M.U.M.U pack – not excluding D'Prince, Patoranking, Mosa, Iceberg, Di'Ja and Reekado of course (by the way congrats on your convocation!) I asked why, why, why? While these one were probably too excited to have featured in one of the world's most classic tunes, the other Africans usurped the privilege and showed off their impressive music skill. It pained me so badly that out of the mighty army of Nigerians that stormed the recording, we had to be properly schooled by the South Africans who clearly possess better vocal skill and musical appreciation than we do.
Our faith and strength now lies in the ingenuity of the producer to mask our vocals with computer-aided assists and studio edits. These guys can't sound nearly as nice and melodious as they do in their studio records and they find it difficult replicating the stunts they managed to pull off in it. As if it isn't shameful enough that we pride ourselves on empty nothings, we brag loud about things that might only happen should we wake up one beautiful morning to purple skies. Has anyone wondered why our international features are restricted to rappers alone? Do we think we can stand compete with well-bred, seasoned vocalists? That's even reaching for the stars. Let me come down to our level. Can our vocalists stand a healthy compete with themselves not to now talk of the Grammy winning kind? Is it by singing applaudise and sampulu that we think we're going to nail a spot on the Grammy's list? Each and every one of us shares blame in this menace that has become our industry – from the dictating folk at the top, to the players and right down to the fans. Let's face it, our industry may have grown in terms of technology and software, but it's people haven't evolved. We've only succeeded in shifting base from one level of low to a new level in low.
It's become common place for our artistes to claim certain levels of versatility because they thought well to revamp a stale craft. Take Banky W for example, since he started this his I'm not even a rapper something, he has eroded the true essence of his powerful tenor and scampers now for the lower octaves like Mariah Carey (the great) sometime did. At least he can actually sing unlike Sean Tizzle who I'd always been scared to hear what his raw vocals would sound like when D'Tunes isn't saving it's ugliness with all the power in auto-tune. So you can imagine my villainous excitement when I learned that he too can croak like a dirty frog after I saw him in that video. Very scathing stuff. Worse off, these are the things that our generation up-comers center their beliefs on. That if it isn't done this way or like this, then one wouldn't make it. I wouldn't hesitate to point accusing fingers at talent scouting platforms; those who have swallowed their vision for birthing new actual stars and short-changed that for admission of a bunch of wannabes and conformists. Talent hunts should be on a mission to seek out the misfits, the rebels, the radicals who are then groomed vigorously through a becoming process but instead, they're after pretty faces, guys with nicely curled or frisked hair and girls that look good even in cheap makeup.
Can we be liberal enough to draw the line between hate and honesty? If we can, then we'd have begun the first step to solving one of our people's greatest problems – that is heralding and patronizing mediocrity! So when I say Kcee needs to pump all that money into a men's bespoke tailoring label instead of music, nobody would say I'm hating. And when I address issues like Burna Boy, Lil Kesh, Iyanya, D'Banj, Ice Prince and Wande Coal, people would reason first rather than cast pebble stones that date far back as my ancestral heritage and all the way back to my generation unborn. We need to open the eyes of our minds and see that we're a people full of nothing but stinking shxt. The men who talk a big game have been neck deep in this dung for long and the women have been sleeping on top of it. We've slumbered too long and it's time to wake up. Emma Nyra needs to wake up and move past Ubi Franklin in his role play of 'the victim' because those millions still won't bear him (or her) the desired fruits. Same thing for Eva, it mortifies me that I haven't got her totally figured out but she needs to stop sleeping and get her shxt in check. Times are changing fast. We have the likes of Yemi Alade already taking lead while some Simi chic is lowkey scheming for a takeover. It's in the same vein that the Mya K's, the Kolly Dee's and Barry Mayne's have strongly opposed to back benching or playing second fiddle because they came to an early realization that they are to make the industry, not the other way round.
Nigeria is supposedly the bedrock of promotional music in Africa, so how is it that we're the ones doing the major undertaking when it comes to actual music affairs? Is chuking me bad bad, iNo teh yhu lie! You shudda seen that video, how those other guys (I mean the South Africans) washed our hands clean and wiped them dry the way and manner they displayed their talents. This our commercial style of music does nothing to advancing the creativity of our music intellect – either by prowess or skill. It's like getting trapped in a prolonged holocaust and for us, success is measured by who attains a newer feat in defining the peak of mediocrity. The pioneers of this new music movement sought to dodge a curve ball but ended up taking a wrong turn and have remained on a steady miss thence on. The nature of our die hard spirit and hustler ambition has managed to put the name of a few on the map but let us not forget that the world is like a jukebox, the music never stops. Although it may seem everyone is singing along, the hard questions being what exactly is playing and who is singing to what?

Kinda true ..bt d diss too much sha..#peace
Hmmm, dis one strong oh oga Jimmy, mak I go watch dat vid first b for. Commentin
Gospel Truth, They care in Signing Gays and Bitches. Not Talented Artistes. Nice 1
naija no de carry last…..auto tune Al d way
This person is foolish
tru talk… Thumbz up bro
Absolutely true in all sense!!!! Commercial music is sooo NOT the way forward for our Nigerian music industry…. Its high time music artists realize the true importance of music to a society and improve their skills, because its totally absurd when an artist sounds like an angel in the studio but on stage sounds like a broken bottle!!!! https://www.hulkshare.com/DJ-taila
The only nigerian artists that truely rep us was praiz,yemi alade and emma nyra …..then d rest of them were crab…..banky and mr ofeshe tried also
Oga Jimmy, This one is strong gaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnn!!! Buh its d honest n crystal clear truth n I'm ready 2 chew up any hater who would not want to accept the stark reality of this post. I've also really been wondering, y is it only d rappers dah get d foreign collabos apart from maybe Psquare (Wizkid is not worth mentioning) from Joell Ortiz 2 2 AKA.. N ppl will be telling me dis BS about Tiwa n Bey being former classmates, she can't even come near Solange (of course she can't lol) talk more of Bey.. I'm really disappointed. I'm wondering where all our hard hitting rappers even went.. Jesse Jags isn't d same as b4, then Eva, even Phenom.. Even M.I, the M.I of Safe not d 1 of Bad Belle.. Its as if he's really pressing for wah he said in Crowd Mentality (Negative Improvement). Our rap scene has been ruined by all this shitty ass Local Rappers n its really unfortunate. Every thing about our music boils down to money ish n d Nigerian mentality if not, y wud Praiz go d direction he went. And Kcee lmao, he should not be afraid of embracing his calling. After all Kanye is a designer. Even at home, Dbanj no matter how hard he tries to run away from it. For d females, Seyi Shay beta crawl back waheva hole she crawled out from, Simi is dope, Yemi is dope, d rest are *sigh*.. We need better talent hunts. It really boils down to us on what shit to accept or waht not to accept. Nice post man.. Awesome.. I've been looking forward 2 this 4 a long long time.. Don't be discouraged. There r a lot of us who enjoy ur posts that don't really comment.. Awesome piece with d funny stuff.. Anticipating ur next write-up. Thumbs up.
#WORD..I love dis Mr khenedee
Music is entertainment.so as far as we are entertained fuck all that bullshit u are saying.nigerian artist are the biggest in Africa, so, fuck your sentiments, ur just hating……
he's not hating dude! the Nigerian male artists all flopped excluding Praiz. u talk like this cos u know nothing about music but gets carried away by beats
Hating? You obviously don't know shit about music
Wateva…De video is still dope 2 me
I didn't hav to watch d whole video wen I saw harrysong n d mic n all I culd say ws harrysong bawo??? D s.a artitise were far beta
Jimmy…its d truth..I can even do it beta Dan dose fools who just disgraced demselves..(ofcauz nt d south Africans)d r dope…I swear…would af been berra if d had done it alone..buh Still one Africa all d way.PEACE
dats jst d fucking fact, Our music industry is full of Ish. boring boring song like Chelshit style of Play. lol.
Praise' Harrysong and Yemi Alade moda d song…
9ice one jim,nobody can deny this fact stated above
I don't agree with all your points for instance why are dis same nigerian artiste household name in dis same s/a my friends who live in s.a always talk about how nigerian acts are worshipped all over africa why is so many internertional music brand working with the likes of wizkid,dbanj hmmmm food for thought and again I don't think africa should b looking forward 2 win a grammy its not like its d worldcup or something and those same americans ve acts like future and all s wack song we hear dis days wit so much autotuning example 'tuesday' song ft drake and I do agree with u dat we don't ve a go a and r department 2 scout raw talents in nigeria dats d only point u got right nigeria has its own sound although our artiste should learn 2 still do a variety of music. Tanx
Bros….Grammy is like the Olympics of music…evri artist aspires for that honour….sorry to say this Buh u r a fool if u don't see that….
I've always said this, all popular Nigerian female musicians can actually sing but the males don't even have to know how to sing to be popular eg. davido(the worst of them all),wizkid,Dbanj,terry g, timaya, skuki, runtown, dr sid, etc ….I was wondering why they didn't feature the likes of Sojay, Shaydee and Timi Dakolo who would have represented us better… I was shocked they allowed kcee,Sean Tizzle to destroy that song
Absolutely true in all sense of the word. It's high time Nigerian artists understood the importance of music to the society. If our artists truly wish to see the dream of winning grammies come true, then they have got to stop focusing on commercial music. Its heartbreaking to hear artists sound like angels in the studio and sound like broken bottles on stage.
You have hit the nail in the head…I've always said this, all popular Nigerian female musicians can actually sing but the males don't even have to know how to sing to be popular eg. davido(the worst of them all),wizkid,Dbanj,terry g, timaya, skuki, runtown, dr sid, etc ….I was wondering why they didn't feature the likes of Sojay, Shaydee and Timi Dakolo who would have represented us better… I was shocked they allowed kcee,Sean Tizzle to destroy that song
You are so damn correct
You know what I think……how south african's sell their music is diffrent from how nigerians will sell theirs…..let's now talk about their similar way of making beats how about that….if this so called nigerian artiste starts selling vocal sounds song….Would you buy them? And was afro pop suppose to sell based on vocals…..let those who wanna sell on vocals sell on vocals and those who wanna sell on auto tunes sell on theirs…okay the harrysong you're abusing you remember his song was the only song that was chosen by your grammy based on vocals and content …that was from a nigerian not a south african….learn to appreciate what you've got. If you don't …xenophobia still continues..because you too do not believe in yourself
#Pure fact.
Actually,some of d artists dat rep naija were nt meant 2 be there bt u can't rite us off dis much… we're highly respected, dis kinda classical songs shld leave out 2face,banky,cobhams,timi dakolo etc & not commercial musicians

Hard hitting truth..no use any shuga cover am..
Let the truth be told. I can't stop reading this article, even though I like commercial beats.
Our musicians are just lazy and I think they prefer d easy way out of it,u can not begin to imagine d hard work dem americans put into dia musical career.
I ve listen to d music too, all artist there rep him or herselves, what I dnt understand is y u *jimmy* ve to tek on ur own peeps in d name of so call point u fink u made here, jimmy, u r just a hater dts all I can c in u. Ur point meks no sense to me , cos we are who we are, they are who they are, wot I dnt even no is y is almost educated pple lik u will always wnt naija to b lik dis, b lik dat. Ask ursef who do u jimmy resemble aside been naija breed dt u r. I love our artist for real lik I love my country die.
Your just writing notes… Bros….. I listen to the message… not looking for the best vocalist
All y'all who saying that Jim is hating or saying he has no point, you are all a bunch of very stupid, ignorant, illiterate, slow minded retards incapable of growth and development. So after reading such a long text, all you got from it was that Jim is simply hating and making no valid points? Jesus! What kind of madness is controlling your minds? Well, I guess you're part of the target audience of substandard music so it has to appeal to you. Did you not hear Kcee attempt to sing? And after going through that horrible psychologically damaging experience you still think we can't do any better not just on a classic piece like that but in our industry in general? May God save your souls from the hell that dishonest and blind, ignorant opinions are taking u to. Rubbish. Please Jim, God bless you. Someone kiss this man please.
Why do I av dis feelin u jimmy or either one of d toox staff..4k u
Truth is always bitter #TBT
Na nonsense b all those commercial…. Watin e dey teach una? Abegi mk we talk true na nonsense we dey do oo.. NONSENSE #hiss…………..
To all naija stars in the making
If you want to sing commercial abeg dey try pass correct message "sms".
Naija no go spoil, we must improve kai.
True talk..TBH I was disappointed and I noticed all d artistes featured on dat song from Nigeria are MTN ambassadors so dats d reason behind our flaws on dat collab…we actually av guyz dat wil beat dos SA guyz hands down…dos guyz ar MTN stars and nt 9ja all stars,bcos I can actually provide good 9ja vocalist dat wil do better in world standard..it must nt be secular musicians,we hav good gospel vocalist whc believed dat was SA did they brot their Gospel artiste onboard….imagine d selection wasn't done base on endorsement sentiment
Really…. I had the same fear when I noticed Sean Tizzle was to come up, but then he surprised me. Why are u so mad?? The only disappointment I had there was Kcee….if DI'ja was allowed to take his part, it would have been a different story. Another thing was the lack of Nigerians in the solo parts.
Truth is, it was a South African affair…they picked their best. If you had let MI Abaga be the music director, the sound would have been totally different, beautiful and unique. There were very few other African countries too in attendance sef. Imagine diamond was not present. 2face sef, Wiz, P-Square, Kimani..etc. So pls….
Dope article, only if they'll read this article and see the message. God bless the writer.
The truth is the scouts would rather choose people who hardly possess talent over us. We the upcoming female rappers are left to struggle on our own. Let them get what they deserve and allow their cash get wasted.
So u expect us 2 follow d American trend abi, lyk d SA were doin? silly article!!!! 4 once in our lyf's can we not embrace changes??? Lyrically sound or not, it's an evolution dat tells u… nigerians don't need 2 act all exotic b4 we gain grounds, lts the uniqueness ure blinded 2, open ur EYES!!!!!!!!
To me,,ds. Is d realest shii av ever read on tooxclusive so I av 2 drop a comment,,,,ds so called artists know less than nothin,,,they keep feedin d people wiv d fruits of dr laziness,,some. Of em even go of key when miming their own songs on stage,,most of em can't perform wiv liveband,,,in short we nid 2 do smtin 2 save d children from ds mess…….
Ride on Jim.
#tru talk
Well Jimmy @ First i thought u were right till I went back 2 d clip. We tried bro xpecially "jazzy" we not Americans,dem SA guys also had probs with dictions if we were 2 go all out on dis. And some had flat voices. I honestly would av loved a Dija to replace Kcee or a reeky above tizzle asides dis we did good notice wizzy and davido weren't der, come on forget der vocal abilities dey shaped d african industry givin us our own genres americans shld learn dat 2, and bros even if na xenophobia dem dey fight u cant be an SA citizen so stop d bullshit hype just encourage ur peeps point out der flaws and urge dem 2 do better not attacking dem. Only God knws how many none nigerians saw u paint ur country like dis****Shame on u Jimmy
a well inspiring article and comments from my Naija people, the truth be told the video was based on sentiment. else we have vocals that SA are still dreaming of, that's one issue with our country "SENTIMENT" if you apply for a job, if your not my brother you won't get the job or better still pay money b4 been employed, it has indeed become a stigma to us

Sean tizzle spoilt everytin totally
I love this article and this is d 1st tym I'm making a comment..i can remember going for an auditioning and d foolish white dude wasn't even ready to listen to what I've got cos mayb I don't look van vicker or cos I'm not a sexy lady,why didn't we have Samsung,iyanya d project fame winner, chidinma,D new DiJa,Timi dakolo for dat matter on dat list,seriously I was too ashamed to watch d full video,i saw some1 put on crazy jean to dat prestigious event on dat video,thanks to harrysong and Yemi alade,tiwa was trying to do too much,praise dissapointed by just going on a low key with donjazzy,i mean wtf!! Dis is d reason d upcoming acts don't see them as idols or menthors,they only envy their success nd their breakthrough..but again their should be a singing cypher between d singers in Nigeria just like Dj jimmyjatt's..where dead singers will be flogged by der fans..If any of dem reads this now they'l say as long as der making der money wetin concern us,instead of feeling sorry for der wack asses,see as southafrican's murder us for mic control and vocal strength..Jesus!!..all dese Igbo boys shld better invest in boutique businesses,seriously I tot I was going to see olamide der and phyno,but I was dissapointed..lol..
Abeg where can I download d video
We're nigerians!!!! We do our music our own style, though we're still learning when it comes to being pro on vocals and all that, its not easy! Our artist have worked so hard to get to where they are today, comparing our nigerian artist with foreign arts doesn't make sence! If you are a nigerian upcoming artist that possess good vocal skills doesn't mean you must blow over night, so mr jimmy or whatever you call yourself, posting this bullshit here doesn't change anything…am proud of my country, am proud of Nigerian artist. They are not too good but they are going somewhere.
Bros all Nigerian artists do is sing danch hall songs….no depth….nothing…..dia lyrics are mostly trashy….and even the fans sef if som1 like timi dakolo or praize release a song,we prefer d trash released by Lil kesh Nd odas to them….so in a way,i'd say the fans av played a big part in the issue….
truth be told the Nigerian music industry is a disgrace though it doesn't mean we don't have people that can actually do real music the thing is all these guys are after the material gain and money for them selves and fine it is okay but it shouldn't just be all about money look at iyanya when he came out he had an excellent vocal but after sometime we all could see for our selves most of our Nigerian artist sing nonsense and they are happy with them selves such a pity someone like omawunmi she has an amazing voice but when she releases a song you find out she sings lesser than she can actually let's wake up Nigerians God bless you jimmy
true yarn jare
I thot all u said was ryt until I went back to re watch
I thot all u said was ryt until I went back to re watch dat video…..all nigerians on dat song murdered d song nd I soo love d praiz jazzys part….bt its so obvious dat tizzle nd kcee spoilt d song…..i also agree with d fact dat we need to improve bt I want u to knw dat we nigerians av our own style of music….nd u shldnt write off nigerians on dis song,where were likes of dija,psquare,shaydee dare art alade nd odas..y werent they featured on dat track instead of kceee nd tizzle…..we v gat pple wu can sing well even beta dan those S.As,d mistake was nt featuring dem……@ a tym sha I support u bt at a point u r also wrng…..we r nigerians nd our style is nd will forever unique…we arent americans nd bro if u aint satisfied with wah we sing u can jump on d mic urself nd strt spitting gud vocals on it. appraciate wah we v gat nd encourage, dnt diss
What if we start the comparism by trowing a competition between you and a foreign blogger….rubbish post
i bet it who wrote this article knows nothing about sound instrumental infact u need a musical schl for training or a good producer to tell u the truth bt that some of ur favorite naija artiste are nt there i think u need to ask them may be they are busy increasing their money shows cos in this matter i bliv evryone is called bt few show up ok #positiveminded talking bad abt ourselves all the time will nt bring any improvement bt rather coz problem and divided mind and to my people reading this we shud take note of such this article bcos when some people want to get known they jst come with such bad news and also to tooxclusive i never bliv to see such article on ur site thank u
Am getting confused here, was dat song meant 2 be a competition or for xenophobia, so why comparing us with the south africans?!?
It was not meant to be a singing competition,if it was,we would have brought our best acts in.and don't hate what u don't understand bro.everybody can't sound as good as u expect them to sound.deer did deer best,respect that
I totally agree with you, schooled is an understatement, we were bullied and what was Kcee and harrysong singing, they were off key. thanks goes to praiz and tiwa for covering the shame. all the south Africans on the song were outstanding. What happened to 2face, Chidinma, Omawumi, waje and even flavor e.t.c.
The Nigerian industry has a very big problem of messages passed out to us in music. Artists like Lil kesh, Olamide, Reminisce. Etc.. Dont pass any meaningful information. I thought music is food for thought. Not wat we are been fed 2day. It's unfair to us. They pass out nonsence lyrics to us. And u people upload it on your site. All because of money. U're all to blame. The writer, the artists, the uploading sites and the bodies that were to check bad musicals.
pipi na u mumu pass, idiot fellow. if your brother b olamide, will you talk that shit
Pipi, may you live long! Don't listen to what all those ignorant peeps say….you just said it all in few words….not erryone that listens to song knows about good music….peace
Papi… man must put food on his table anyaw… dis is wot Nigerians want nd dey're givin it out! … dis guys arre feedin Jimmy self. Meaningful music is not sellin cuz pple are frustrated and dey av 2 be appy
As an upcoming artiste i feel sad cos d music industry is lacking standard and creativity nowadays, nobody is sampling oda genre like blues and so on and its very bad cos d industry is linear in nature…..EVERYTHING IS COMMERCIAL GARBAGE….
u made sense, very correct.
Let's learn to appeciate what our artiste are doing…jim u try…
I dont normally comment on articles or songs on here but this I will, the comparism of nigeria artist and their style of music is baseless and disrespectful to the artist, wake up to reality d8 Grammy is a scam, if u talkin vocals we have lots of artist who deliver just d8 and still aven't be recognised by yo so big Grammy i.e Bez, Nosa, Darey, Banky W the list is long. plz remind if Lil Wayne, Birdman, 2chainz, Rick Ross are all vocalist, TBH we are Nigerians and we must appreciate our style of music which has created employment for nigeria youths. the likes of Adele, J.lo, Rita ora make so much money frm their style of music but ask BEZ or PRAIZ ao much they are worth and at the end of the day they all want money! my opinion is let us in Africa av a proper award d8 will have heavy price worth more than the Grammy and u will cee Beyonce in the studio with selebobo or popito for cicular music beat.
Like seriosly we never had dat mind of conparison,we jus wanted to clear d air on better way of life,which dose mumu[xenophoby ni**a] sa guys never understud.jimy u are see things frm different angle.While use dis clip as a typical example?Had it been a talent haunt final den u are aim closer to the target but wait ooh hav u ever heard Cliton say His name is OGHENEKARO eeh?they can't change to africans not to talk of been a nigerian sef, you jimy want us to change to dem aaabbeegg eee! WE NIGERIANS dey try die so KPONKPI !
Not true
Abeg where can I download d video
Fuck u ungrateful asshole
Only d wise understood wat *jimmy* is saying its d plain truth liv it or take it,music is meant 2 pass a msg,not spoil d fans or corrupt d mind,enuf of d comments even d pple against *jimmy* knows he's ryt dey r just trying 2 b unreasonable most of dem sha don't knw music I WON'T BLAME DEM @jimmy tanx a lot I will c dat dis gets 2 naija artist

MY nigerian ppl, first off I fink we should respect ourselves,hence there is no need for all d ABUSE, I presume we're all adults, also its is everymans right to voice his opinion, wif dat said my opinion is dis. @Jimmy Great article, however AMERICA dat ppl compare NIGERIA with have ppl like TRINIDAD JAMES,2CHAINZ,YOUNGTHUG,HURRICANE CHRIS, etc who in my opinion should not even b doing music but they are. All I'm saying is there is a market 4 every1 so if u want DEPTH in music listen to OUR TIMI DAKOLO or WAJE, as an american would listen to a MARY J BLIGE, or MAXWELL and in d same vein if u just want to 4get ur sorrows and dance scatter, U can Listen too …………..as many artist dat come to mind in naija as u would listen to a CHRISBROWN, or LILWAYNE, etc. Truth is u shouldn't bad mouth any artist 4 their lack or artistry afterall no one is forcing u to listen to em, d average person on d street dosent care about DEPTH he just wants to have a good time. And finally can u blame d artist who lack artistry, wen d "FUN" crowd who want to dance and have a good time VASTLY outnumber dose who care about CONTENT or vocals. In conclusion all I'm saying is ONE MANS FOOD is ANODA MANS POISON. Thank you
What exactly are you talking about…… The producer that portrayed more of nigerians and south African is now clueless right.
I would really advice you to get your facts straight before coming out with an article like this, the only Nigerian artist that didn't really do well was KCEE and even with that we had more of nigerian artist that did well more than their south African counterparts……
Just so you know when it comes to music Nigeria is still the best.
Truth be told, Mr Jimmy has said it all….I pity the blind ones here commenting rubbish due to sentiments..I don't blame em, am impressed most people here are beginning to see how some of our Nigerian artist are not artistic and not creative…I am an upcoming artist too but money won't lemme do what others are doing cos this money is not errything and I don't wanna be like " other artist " I have a way of entertainment created by myself and I bet you most Nigerian artist can't do that……so plss people support good music cos its the one that last…am not saying our very own ( afro beat music ) is not good oo am only saying if it is afro music we own and do it should be worth listening to and not this " asamkpokoto shit "……I just spit my mind and there is nothing nobody can do about it …..thanks
You know what,maybe you should try doing a single and see for ur self dat those guys aint doin a easy job……..And to tooxclusive don't try to hide away from dis by dat stuid note in RED INK,dats why gidimp3 is better than you people.they don't post nonsence just to make their site full!!!!
Shey na autotune go sing 4 u? Na everybody wey use autotune blow? Go sitddown
This is not true. I just watched the video. Firstly, it wasn't a competition, and secondly, our artist did well with the exception of kcee. Even donjazzy did well. Very wrong for u to compare with this…..Nigeria's top artistes vs South Africa's finest vocalist….
Where is chidinma, timi dakolo, Cobham's, waje, omawunmi, darey, wande caol and sooooooo on…
I couldn't have said it better!!! I wish there's some way to change the current trend. Right now, we have stars who are simply creations of beautiful beats, autotune editing, wonderful mastering, and excellent label marketing, but devoid of actual talent. It's sad, I hope we change. I have a dream, that one day…
Please tooxclusive,this post should be made visible to everyone please because I want to pass a strong message across to this Jim fellow.
First of all,I just have one word for you "ODE" and also shame on you for this daft post.Different musicians came together to create something good so as to promote unity in Africa,even if you didn't appreciate it,you should have just kept shut and also kept your dirty opinion to yourself,but instead you sat down and composed such a long shit.Please Mr or Mrs Jim..What is our business with someone sang better than the other.(sorry to say but you are an Olodo).When Micheal Jackson and co sang the 1st,some musician did better than others but no Bolor came up with any daft comment because everyone knew they were passing across a message.Therefore,please grow up and learn not to talk too much(not all you feel publicized).You could also see a doctor too,you might be depressed.Thank you for ur understanding……Now this is a sensible post.
mumu don finish this author
U're a mediocre.

You have a point but we just have to accept the bitter truth and accept that our artistes can never be the Whites! Our artistes lack lyrical and Vocal powress but you just have to admit that they sing the kind of music that is acceptable to us the fans! A typical young guy in nigeria would prefer TERRY G's Madness songs to be played in clubs to that of the Slow tempo by DAREY. That's because its danceable and that's the norm here.. You don't expect us to be whites because their music OT is different.. The fans determine the kind of music that's trending.. For example in Jamaica you don't expect the musicians there to change their musical slangs and norms because they listen to the whites or that they wanna win grammies, NO .. It all depends on what the masses want..so I think we should start appreciating our artistes even though most of em sing crap and pass no messages in their song buh hey u won't blame em.. They give the masses what they want! Another example is SKALES.. This artiste was and Is still a good rapper who had a vision to win the grammy which he even sang about but when he found out he's going contrary to what the masses wanted, he had to switch! Music is all about 2 things; NO 1, Fame 2, The Cash.. If you aint getting these 2 then you should either Quit or Switch! I'm done!!!!
Pls I nid tooxclusive pin pls,can anyone help me wt dat?
with what u have said, I gues u will go ahead and say that modenine is a loser in the industry because modenine saw the way the industry was and still is but he refused to switch his style. mind u, if he features commercial acts doesnt mean he is switching his style. I know u may want to use that as a point. modenine made money and had fame during his time at the top. evryone accepted him and his style of music and today, he is the only nigerian rap legend. there is no other.

But bros no dey cast Sean Tizzle like that oh. Remember to whom much is given much is expected and me and you know say much wasnt given to Tizzle baba.
All in all them dey try but as always they can do better.
In the words of Ejanla "FEEEELEEEEEEE"
Isaac Newton said If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. The problem of the Nigerian Music Industry goes beyond even the Lack of Vocal expertise into the Lack of Intellect, yes the American Music Industry is no Holy Grail but there are extremes: the intellectual and non intellectual. You talk about Young Money Cash Money, who by the way have released some intellectual singles, but what of Common, who speaks for justice against racial discrimination or Kendrick Lamar, Lecrae, who not only raps about his faith but about issues in society. Please let's put away our defense mechanism and look into it whole heartedly. The Nigerian Music sucks, there is no Intellect, just fame hungry people who instead of telling the government how the people feels tells the people how perfect the government is. You, Jim have said it right. I hope we all join hands to build a better Industry.
Abeg y didn't he mention Davido's name???
Dis guy stupid eeenn….if u no lyk our naija song make u go jump 4 lagoon…..
Petrol now goes for N150 per litre.
Right on bro, am an artist myself and to tell the truth the only time I feel safe to listen to majority of naija music is when I want to get hammered or when I am in a happy mood and just want to dance and dance. The one that pisses me of is the rappers all they talk about cars drinks nd money nd their lifestyle,this goes to my america favorites too.real good music is dieing nd wha t are we doing DANCING TO IT'S GRAVE..

HBO has been in operation continuously since 1972, making it the longest running pay television service in the US. Providing service to over 32 million subscribers, they are the second largest premium channel in the United States. HBO stands for "Home Box Office", which was originally to just be a working title while management came up with a different name. The first program and film ever broadcast on the channel was the 1971 film 'Sometimes a Great Notion' with Paul Newman and Henry Fonda. The first sports event they ever broadcasted followed immediately after the film, an NHL hockey game between the Vancouver Canucks and the New York Rangers. HBO's subscriber base was initially quite small, only 8,000 subscribers, until they started broadcasting via sattelite in 1974. By April of 1975 the subscriber base had increased to approximately 100,000 and continued to grow from there.

What Girls Said 1
You need to back right off, u have come on a bit strong... to redeem the situation wait for a week or so ask her out again for a drink or just a coffee and if she doesn't answer just leave it at that, she's not interested and move on. Good luck00|00|1

[Plugin: BackWPup] which version for PHP 5.0.5
I have been using BackWPup on all WordPress installations and love that plugin; never had a problem with it!!!
This afternoon, I was in the process of installing BackWPup on a friend's WP site when I got the message: PHP 5.2.0 or higher needed!
Turns out that the server has PHP version 5.0.5 and the hosting company (EarthLink) is saying NO CHANCE to have PHP upgraded to 5.2.0 or higher any time soon!???
Short of moving to a different host; which my friend does NOT want to do as EarthLink is also his Internet Provider, I am thinking I could install an older version of BackWPup, so…
What older version is best to run on PHP 5.0.5?
And, what must I look out for, if anything?
In advance thank you.

Porsche 918 Spyder Production Model Teased
Included in a less-than-thrilling press release from Porsche today is a photo of what appears to be an early model of the production version of the 918 Spyder.
Porsche first unveiled the vehicle at the Geneva Auto Show this year, stealing the show with the stunning and sophisticated concept. Several months later, Porsche confirmed the car would see production.
Now comes this photo as a part of a larger press release detailing a 150 million Euro investment in the automaker's Weissach research and development center in Germany. The 1:3 scale cay model has some notable differences from the production car, including some minor adjustments up front, some changes to the design of the doors and the use of a single, rather than a double, exhaust pipe coming out the side.
Last week Porsche announced it was hiring 100 engineers for the facility in electronics fields – likely to begin its hybrid push that will see the expansion of hybrid models (including sports cars), as well as the launch of the new flagship 918 Spyder.
Official release after the jump:
Porsche is investing around 150 million euros in its Weissach development centre
Stuttgart. With extensive construction projects, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is now implementing a long-term strategic site plan for its research and development centre in Weissach (Baden-Württemberg). The sports car manufacturer is investing around 150 million euros in a high-tech wind tunnel, a state-of-the-art design centre and an innovative electronics integration centre, etc.
The technology implemented in the new wind tunnel will also meet future requirements on vehicle development, which is increasingly focussing on energy efficiency. "The new system will help us to maintain Porsche's top position in the fields of aerodynamics and design and to further extend our lead. Outstanding design with optimal aerodynamic efficiency have always been classic Porsche strongholds", says Wolfgang Dürheimer, Porsche AG Board of Management Member for Research and Development. As the system will not only be used for Porsche's internal developments, but will also be extensively available for Porsche customer development, it offers direct access from the adjacent design studio, and separate entrances for the discrete completion of customer development projects.
Above all, a new studio will offer more space for the Porsche designers, who are involved from the very earliest concept phase of each vehicle development process. Due to extended tasks, increased capacities are urgently required in the Weissach centre of competence for sports car construction.
Sub-areas which were previously scattered throughout several buildings at Porsche's Weissach site can be bundled in the future electronics integration centre. Dürheimer: "This spatial proximity is a major advantage. The close interaction of our suppliers' various electrical system/electronics experts and colleagues from related specialist fields during development will contribute significantly to the success of our work, particularly in the case of electronics, which now play a role in virtually every vehicle component." Besides investing in systems and buildings, Porsche is also increasing its staffing levels. Around 100 engineers are to be recruited in the first stage alone.

A MAN has admitted killing his mother at the Cumbrian home they shared together.
Robert Adam Pierre Archbold was charged after 77-year-old retired vet Jane Archbold died from serious injuries inflicted on her in Outgate, near Hawkshead, on August 21.
The 48-year-old, dressed in blue jeans and a white T-shirt, and with his beard tied in a long plait, made a 12-minute appearance before Cumbria's top judge, Paul Batty QC, at Carlisle Crown Court today.
Leaning forward so that his forehead rested on the glass panel at the front of the dock, he pleaded guilty to his mother's manslaughter but not guilty to the more serious charge of murdering her.
The prosecution said those pleas were not acceptable, so he will have to face trial on the murder charge next year.
Defence barrister Richard Pratt QC made no application for bail so Archbold was remanded in custody. His trial was provisionally set to start on April 22.
It is expected to last up to seven days.

Doncare defends actions after death of mother and baby
The Melbourne welfare agency that was caring for the mother and her 17-month-old daughter, found dead in a public housing apartment, has defended its actions. Doncare says there is nothing it could have done to prevent the deaths.

The Melbourne welfare agency that was caring for the mother and her 17-month-old daughter, found dead in a public housing apartment, has defended its actions.
Doncare says there is nothing it could have done to prevent the deaths.
Rachel Carbonell reports.
RACHEL CARBONELL, REPORTER: Police discovered the bodies of a 42-year-old woman and her toddler after breaking into their flat in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Doncaster last Thursday.
The community welfare agency caring for the pair says there was no longer a child protection order covering the baby and the woman had voluntarily sought help.
It says the mother and daughter had escaped an abusive relationship and the woman had overcome a drug addiction.
DOREEN STOVES, CEO, DONCARE: She had relationships with many volunteers of Doncare and many staff who describe her as positive, bubbly, friendly, a woman who dressed her child beautifully and who loved this baby to pieces.
RACHEL CARBONELL: Ms Stoves says several attempts were made to contact the pair and child protection services were then called.
DOREEN STOVES: And I said to my manager, Well, we need to get back on the phone to child protection, ask them to get somebody into the house because this woman is a victim of DV.
And, consequently, my thoughts were she could be lying there dead.
In fact I said that.
RACHEL CARBONELL: The agency says its funding is always stretched, but says no amount of money could have prevented the deaths.
DOREEN STOVES: I believe that we did everything that was humanly possible to contact and support this mum, and respect her privacy and her right not to see us if she didn't choose to see us.
COLEEN CLARE, CHILDREN'S WELFARE ASSOCIATION: More funding would provide more services for more families, and that would be a good thing, and we need that in Victoria.
But it would not necessarily have prevented this tragedy.
RACHEL CARBONELL: Exactly how the pair died is still unknown. However, police suggest it's possible the child lived for some time longer than her mother.
The Victorian Coroner's office is awaiting the outcome of toxicology tests, which have been carried out on both bodies.
