Wale - Folarin Mixtape (review)

Good morning fellow earthlings!! so this is my first post of 2013 on this blog and I honestly feel I couldn't have come up with a more befitting topic than the new mixtape, Folarin by the very talented Wale. Released on Christmas eve as an early present for his fans, this production hosted by DJ Clark Kent  is everything that makes the Nigerian born lyricist one of the most promising talents in the music industry - Intelligent, original, smooth complete and fun. Folarin is a back and forth journey from the classic underground delivery that earned him the respect of original Rap enthusiasts to the more subtle and romantic tunes which have endeared Wale to a large number of female fans. It doesn't matter whether you're kicking it with your Gees or just having a moment with you girl/man,  you CAN bump this mixtape all day long. I'm really trying hard not to build it up too much but  dare I say that Folarin is a timeless work of art! I am buzzing in anticipation of the release of his new album (I ain't perfect) due to be released sometime in February. Okay I'm done talking, without further ado, please GO COP THIS MIXTAPE

Freedom of Choice

I was just on Twitter minding my own business and airing my views on a recently trending topic. Yes, you guessed right - the 'Transfiguration' of Bruce Jenner. I said that it is a disgrace to men and women alike. I also said that his action after more than 5 decades of being alive, is a perfect example of what emasculation can result to. I stand by my words because I believe that what he did is unnatural.  Some people disagree. They are of the opinion that there is nothing unnatural about a sex change. Someone even went as far as to compare the situation to barrenness. All I can say is that barrenness like many natural defects is something that should be solved because it is natural to procreate. Barrenness is a a challenge that causes families sadness and disappointment. A sex change is a whole other thing. It is a person being u satisfied with the way they are born and taking the matter into their surgeon's hand so that they can wear a bra instead of boxers or boxers inst...

Thoughts on a downward spiral

A very strange thought has just popped into my mind. Imagine the deplorable state of the education system in our country. The primary schools are a shadow of what they were as recently as the year 2000 when I was a pupil, the standard of teaching and the performance of students in secondary schools continues to plummet and is at an all time low, Universities in the country are no where near what qualifies as tertiary institutions, yet and this is the strange part; it is not the worst part of the situation. For every 3000 half-baked graduates out of a Nigerian university every year, there are about 7000 more who are struggling to get in. As a matter of fact, only a mere 30% of Nigerian youths are even fortunate enough to stand a chance of being a part of this decaying system. The rest are unable to get basic education let alone, go to the university. That is a whopping 70% of young men and women who cannot read, write or even afford three square meals. That is seven in every ten people ...

Sabali!!

The most rampant phenomenon in this fast paced world we live in today, is the absolute lack of patience in most people. It is in everything, some of us are too impatient for traffic so we drive way too fast, we are too impatient to eat healthy so we prefer instant noodles, we are heading to the future so damn fast, we don't care what composites our present. I am a typical example of this madness but lately, I have been learning about patience. It is a wonderful feeling to not be in a hurry, the problem is that we have somehow managed to convince ourselves that the only way to be successful or happy is by doing it first! It is a scam. Life teaches us, along with time that a true sense of fulfilment does not depend on the when but the what and the how well. As a victim of the Nigerian tertiary education system, I know firsthand what it feels like to not be in control of one's own progress at a certain time in life. I spent the greater part of the last two years at home because of...
