90% Of Nigerians Can Not Recite The National Anthem” – Lai Mohammed

The Minister for Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has taken a jab at Nigerians saying some of them can not recite the national anthem of Nigeria.

Mohammed made this known during a presentation of the “Mindshift Advocacy for Development Initiative”.

“I think we are making progress. I won’t say all, there are few bad eggs in our society that are forming the clog in the wheel of our progress. Let’s start from basics,” he said.
“If you love your country, you must love anything that is associated with your country. You love your country and you love your countrymen, you love the paraphernalia of the state.
“The national anthem, some of us cannot read, cannot recite, cannot write. Is it the currency of the country, Naira, that we abuse? Is it the constitution that we do not obey its provisions? We have a lot to say but the future is still bright.
“In 1976, there was a desire by Prof. Felicia Adewole to come up with a contract for citizens to sign with their country, Nigeria, and she made a draft which was proved right. That is what we have today as a national pledge.
“By following that pledge, we will not have turbulence around our homes, we will not need bullet-proof vehicles, we will be our brother’s keeper.
“Now, President Muhammadu Buhari, having viewed this with concerns launched a value-reorientation campaign ‘Change begins with me’. This campaign is not a slogan and it should not be associated with party slogan as such. It is a patriotic slogan and campaign – a value-reorientation campaign.
“What it means is that the change we want should start with us instead of pointing accusing fingers.”

Wow!!! Congratulations to Rema, as he emerges the winner of the Headies 2019 “Next Rated” Award. As we predicted before the Headies Award tonight, Mavin wonder Kid, Rema has defeated Zlatan to win the Headies Next Rated Award. You would recall that Zlatan has been shinning in the music industry since the last year 2018 and no one could have thought Rema who just hit the Industry this year could floor him in this category. This category seems like an easy win for Zlatan and so many music lovers have criticized the Headies for results of this category. But on the other hand, some industry gurus believe it is a well-deserved win for Rema as a result of the huge impact he’s got in the music industry in a short period of time. We would love to hear from you guys

Why zlatan might last longer than naira Marley in the industry

The Nigerian music industry this year so far has been exceptionally competitive with the impact, commitment, input, and controversy introduced by Naira Marley and Zlatan. The level of dominance these duo have in the industry this year is second to none. This is the first time we are having 2 street artistes popping and making it without one affecting the other. For instance when Slimcase was popping, there was no major match, when small doctor was popping, no one was. and so much more. However, criticisms keep increasing by the day as many question the talent and efficiencies of these 2. Questions like:- Won’t they also end up like the Shaku Shaku crooner, Slimcase?, If Zanku fades off today, will they still be heard? Will they still be relevant in 2020, as we now have likes of Fireboy , Joeboy and Rema already popping as well? Answering all these questions rhetorically in my head, one thing kept re-occurring in my thought as to the longev...
