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

The New Nigerian

Something remarkable is happening in Nigeria. There is a new generation of pan Nigerians emerging onto the scene. A group of young, driven, hopeful and hardworking dreamers, developers, and leaders who see beyond the limitations and drawbacks of political and socio-economic issues and are buying into a vision of a new world, a vision which is exploding at an exponential rate worldwide. A dream so big that it overshadows with ease, decades past of mistakes and offers incredible opportunities for the future and indeed the very present.   This group of people is not from Mars. They are amongst you and your friends. As a matter of fact, many of them have been dismissed by you and your friends as pipe dreamers or whatever else you might choose to call them. Call them what you will but they are here to stay and believe it, so are their dreams. I attended a conference recently where the majority of attendees were young entrepreneurs between the ages of 19 and 35. These folks and...

Spare Me Your Outrage

Whenever I see a post that starts with "Pray for so and so", it irks me. The reason is not that I am against prayers or insensitive to the plight of the suffering, but more because I find it nauseating that people only feel compelled to pray for one place or the other only when the hype calls for it. So it is 2017 and slaves are still being sold. I see people getting on their phones and going "I cannot believe this is happening in 2017".  We all want to make trendy posts about the stuff like we only realised the existence of this issue yesterday and like nobody sold slaves in the years preceding 2017. Have you ever wondered where the diamonds and jewellery you are so in love with comes from?  How many of us can claim to really care about this stuff? Because slavery is not an end in itself but rather a means to something that does not seem to outrage people enough; CHEAP LABOUR! Please spare me your outrage and stop pretending that your being outraged on Instag...

The Perfect Start To An Average Day

Good morning guys!!! okay so this is my first ever post on this blog, I'm really eager to post something this morning so I have decided to share with you, a random thought that popped into my head while I was still lazying in bed. Ever wondered how you could be the director of your own day? I mean being able to maintain  a perfect handle on everything you do in a day, from the moment you wake up till you go to bed. I'm sure if we all had our way, we'd have a whole lot of things happen differently during the course of the day. Well here's my take! I think it all boils down to the precedence you set for yourself as soon as you wake up. Your reaction to the first 15 minutes of your day dictates to a large extent, how you're going to handle the rest of it. It's amazing how much control you could have simply by thinking, acting and speaking POSITIVELY. Wake up in the morning and tell yourself that your day is perfect and from that moment, all you have to worry about ...
