He is so cool that they call him LL Cool J.

A huge night, not only for music but the entertainment and fashion world as a whole. The 58th annual Grammy Awards was not without some ground breakers as usual, as Kendrick Lamar became the first hip-hop artist to earn 11 nominations for a single night, beating Eminem’s

MINISTRY OF DARKNESS!!!! With all due respects, permit me once again to describe and refer to our most beloved country, Nigeria, as a controversial “handbag”. Nigeria is a designer handbag “owned” by a selected few who take turns carrying the “bag”. E no go better for the devul. After Balablu set the ball rolling with his bold declarations in 2023 that it was his turn to “handle” Nigeria, our dearly beloved former First Lady, Patience Goodluck Jonathan, reiterated the claim in one of her speeches where she admonished her fellow politicians to be in support of one another as per “turn by turn “ government. “You support me during my turn so that when it gets to your turn, I will support you too.” Kai……. And I spent more than 12 years of my life as a child and teenager reciting the Nigerian national anthem in school. Chanting: “Arise O Compatriots! “Nigeria’s call obey” “To serve our Fatherland “ Oya hold it there! Truly, Nigeria called but the point I did not realise then be say, nobi everybody Nigeria call. You don’t understand? Did Nigeria call you and I? Tell me why a particular set of people will keep on answering “Nigeria’s call for almost half a century now? They will answer the call, come back again to re-answer call dem don answer before! One person will begin his political career as a Local Government Chairman, progress to a minister, move on to become a governor, then from there start hustling for president! And he will be successful ooo. Ngwanu, he will manage to stay there for 8 solid years (doing nothing by the way) and just when you are about to advise him to rest from politics, boom! He is back as a Senator! Olisa kere uwa i na afukwa? Only one person oooo. Just one person has occupied offices that 5 to 6 different people could have occupied. And you still expect me to continue reciting national anthem abi? Like this now, does it look as if this nation really belongs to all of us? Yeah, let us unmask the sacred masquerade! I repeat, does Nigeria actually belong to we all? Even though! Even though we are all Nigerians, do we really have equal rights and privileges? Minster of Power abi Darkness, Adebayo Adelabu inspired this my long talk o. He is the “wind behind the sail” of this article. Since Baba came out openly to inform the people of Oyo State that it was “his turn” to rule Oyo State, I have been in a state of outright perplexity! According to him, his gubernatorial ambition has nothing to do with his personal or selfish interests rather his motivation comes from wanting to improve the lives of others people in the state. He went further to explain that his desire to become the governor stems from the deep love he has for the poor, the less privileged and the entire people of Oyo State. No wahala. I won’t have even let this get to me if not for the part where I heard him declare that APC owns Oyo State and that PDP is just a guest. I don laugh taya! Dear Sir Adelabu, nobi from my mouth you go hear say people dey call you “power bank minister” on social media. My question to you is, do you want to become the governor of Oyo State because of your love for them, or you want to collect power from PDP, or because “it is your turn”? DOMINUS VOBISCUM!!!!!!
