Africans Vs African Americans: Battle of black superiority

This back and forth arguments and  deliberations  have gone on for some time now and shows no sign of simmering down.  The concept of attaching the adjective ‘African’ to non African people spurs from the chain of history between the groups and largely for the heritage of slavery. Africans think the African Americans look at them from a demeaning point of view, while African Americans think the Africans look at them as outcasts, uncultured and without traceable roots. Well, these claims are contextual and in some situations have proven to be right. There’s a rich heritage of culture shared between these two groups of people dating back from the origin down to slave trade. For me, I’ll not attach behavioral inadequacies to an ethnicity or cultural divide and I’ll try as much as possible to treat this void of sentiments but at the same time, it will be coming from an African point of view.  So, it will highlight the concerns majorly from this side of the divide.

Strategy Eps1: DO NOT REPEAT THE TACTICS THAT HAVE EARNED YOU ONE VICTORY,

  BUT LET YOUR TECHNIQUES BE ORGANIZED BY A MYRIAD OF CIRCUMSTANCES. Are you evolving in your endeavors? The fact that every action you take in business potentially sets a chain reaction of events that might be instrumental to your success or failure, sets a precedence for it. Repeating tactics exposes one out on the bare and embraces predictability.  Allow your techniques and skills be flexible to the situations at hand. Repeating tactics means expecting a previous outcome which is very likely to change in different circumstances. It never comes in same format and predictability. Hence, dwelling in our past tactic sets you up for a looming failure as you might just turn up stuck in the face of uncertainty.   This is intensively flexibility inspired as your productivity is less prone to be stunted off the fact that techniques and plans are structured and restructured on the go, to fit into specific situations at hand.

10 Underrated TV shows

Not every show can get a Game Of Thrones worth of TV rating and mass appeal, but Nobody said, every good show can't get the amount of applause it deserves.

ACRIMONY: SHOULD WE OWE OUR LIVES TO INVESTORS IN US?

    Acrimony Hit the cinemas in March and has taken a respin three months later to trend on TwitterNG. It doesn't matter how long it's been out there. A trend is a trend, especially if crucial and relatable issues were touched. Going over the plot will be a waste of time, so we will pass, and it will aid your time and apprehension of this piece if you have seen the film. As written in the film both in words and action, it is a display of bitterness, Anger, rancor, resentment, ill feeling, ill will, bad blood, animosity, hostility, antagonism, malice, spite and many other terrible words Tyler Perry didn't think about. Apparently he left a couple of scenarios open ended to trigger questions and get the viewer to reach conclusions on his/her own or take sides.     In the course of my inquiry and scribbling through opinions, i had a few who thought Melinda (Taraji P. Henson) was dumb to have invaded her $350,000 inheritance to support a man she was not married to, startin

MUSICIANS WHO DOUBLE AS AMAZING ACTORS.

Ain't it always fun to see a movie where your favorite artists take on movie roles outside their celebrity lifestyle and give life to characters off a script? Yeah right. But in the same vain, some take on the roles better than others and it might be the work of artistic directors or personal coaches, but it doesn't matter if a good performance was delivered. Here's a handpicked list of some who fit the bill. 1. Chris Brown : Chris has got to be one of the most versatile on this list. His initial roles on screen were quite passive and minor, but he did alot to include the element of drama and theatrics in his videos before he started getting major screen roles in movies. Movies featured: Takers, battle of the world, stomp the yard, this Christmas and think like a man. 2. Justin Timberlake : Justin is like the white Chris Brown (artistically speaking). He's actually more involved in movies than Chris and juggle both quite well. He's had good rated mo

GREATEST SWORDSMEN ON TV (List)

Sword fight is probably the oldest form of weapon usage in battle and it has outlived quite many we have seen. Pulling a very breathtaking sword slinging stunt in a movie must be some nut to crack. Though they are probably some cushion stuffed props, but the the stunts, angles and motions are real and the most impressive deserves some accolades. Lol. Here's my list of greatest swordsmen on TV. Enjoy 13. Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley)  - Strain Abraham Setrakian is most likely to be swallowed on this list, based on his age and amount of sword wielding stunts he can perform,  but you can't deny the man's proficiency in the war against the strigois and how many of the blood sucking munchers his sword cane has put to rest.

THE IRONY OF WORK HARD AND STILL GET NADA IN THE NIGERIAN SYSTEM

   This piece is quite contextual and do have layers of  exceptions. Being born in Nigeria on it's own, comes with a bigger lean of weight on disadvantages than the perks.     It has become very easy and cliché to label a poor or an unsuccessful Nigerian as lazy or foolish. The latter is specifically pointing at the shady routes to riches or success in one's dealings through crooked backdoor channels or going dark and occultic. The concept of thriving for an extraordinary level of success, let's say squeezing your way into a fortune 500 company position in Nigeria, top 10 on forbes list, holding an influential position with high relevance or even get a comfortable mid class level job has been placed on a code access restriction, firstly with the total ridicule of the substance of a degree certificate. The previously listed opportunities or positions are like family, cabal and clique controlled in the country. Nigeria is like the leading figure of nepotism and favoritis

DAVIDO OFFICIALLY OWNS 2017! WHY?

     Few months back I published an article on Why Davido is arguably the most hardworking and evolved Nigerian artist . It was majorly a sweep through his career progress from the inception till early 2017. The end of 2017 have rolled out nothing but pure greatness and more efforts on his path, furthermore verifying the topic of my first article.  His covered milestone and dominance in amount of content (hits) and their buzz on digital platforms and airplay for 2017 went over the roof. He kicked off the year with 'IF' which is certified the biggest Nigerian (I say African) song of the year by different media houses. IF, had the longest chart topping period of the year. It was everywhere, bumped by international artists like Omarion, Justin skye and R. Kelly, who blessed the joint with a heavenly remix that would probably be responsible for lotta unplanned babies.          He followed up with 'Fall' as his second single for the year. As an already created pat
