"I went through some horrific things that I'm able to laugh [at] now, because I've gone through a lot of mental and physical therapy and emotional therapy to heal over the years. My music's been wonderful for me. But, you know, I was a shell of my former self at one point. I was not myself. To be fair, I was about 19. I went to Catholic school and then all this crazy stuff happened, and I was going, 'Oh, is this just the way adults are?'...I was very naïve."(continue)"I'll be damned if somebody's gonna say that every creatively intelligent thing that I ever did is all boiled down to one dickhead who did that to me,I'm going to take responsibility for all my pain looking beautiful. All the things that I've made out of my strife, I did that."
I saw him one time in a store and I was so paralyzed by fear..It took me a long time to talk about it ...I didn't tell anybody.I was like you know what, all this drinking and nonsense, you have to go to the source or it won't go away.
'All party organs and public security authorities should make a list of residents named Kim Jong-Un... and train them to voluntarily change their names.''Authorities should make sure that there is no one making unnecessary complaints or spreading gossip... regarding this project.'
I have just watched over and over again on Youtube, the Best Music Video in Nigeria, and arguably continental on a larger scale, of 2014.And this is no fluke. I spent hours watching it over and over for incisive areas to make notes and point out a few flaws but I could not find any. And I am very impressed.
‘Gollibe’ being a piano-themed composition, is melodious and heart-warming. On a normal day, hearing it on radio and on your gadgets without seeing the video, one might not attach much sentiments to the song. With a visual interpretation which sees Flavour pounding a Grand Piano in an village compound, the symbolism of Western influences and an authentic African identity is not lost with those few shots.
Borrowing from a subtle Cinderella-esque visual motif, Prince Flavour at the prodding of the King, played by a regal looking Pete Edochie, is to choose from a beevy of anxious and desperate ladies who do everything from catwalking to provocative pouting to get the attention of the Prince. But the Prince follows his heart and settles for Gollibe, played by former Beauty Queen, Anna Ebiere.
The Cinematography was excellent with purposeful interpretation of shots using the slow motion technique commendably.
As an aside, another commendable music video I have seen this year with good directorial interpretation but obviously on an average budget is ‘My Darling’by Tiwa Savage and I give the creative Kemi Adetiba a thumbs up for that too. I believe music videos are mini-movies unto themselves and it is heartwarming to watch the ones with nice story lines than the silly, stereotypical bum-shaking offerings which adorn the screens from Nigeria.
“Let us state once again that the First Lady is not an elected official of state, neither is she a party functionary.Well, do you agree???
“She, therefore, recognises very clearly her place in the scheme of things — Let it be known that the First Lady has no hand in the selection of the party’s candidates in any state and definitely not in Ebonyi”
"I don't believe in marriage. The truth is, the marriage institution in Nigeria has collapsed. Nobody is getting married for long anymore. On the average, it's within a year. Although they still marry, they separate. The thing responsible for it is that people get married for the wrong reasons. As a matter of fact, the institution of marriage is fading away in the traditional sense of marriage - for love; for better or worse; and all sort. It's fading because women are no longer submissive.
For you to live together with someone for life, someone must be submissive. That is easier when women are not working, and they depend on their husband. But now, its becoming difficult because they are working; making more money even more than the men. The situation is terrible. Even if you as a man is not looking outside, your wife will look.
I've made a decision and my partner already agreed. In fact there was a wedding we went attended in Ibadan, the couple broke up at the reception. Because of picture, the bride's father wanted to take first, the groom's father said No and they started quarreling. The couple broke up at the reception. How about that?
About my father marrying 27 wives, if you look deep, you will discover that in 1986 my father divorced all his wives. People seem to forget this fact. It also goes to buttress my point that says marriage is becoming a fading institution. Fela was the epitome of marriage. First, he married one woman, then he married 26 at once. He has experienced both, and later he came out to say marriage is bad. What about that?" He said
