@Ayoelesho What does "his original self" mean? He was still speaking English.

In this Korty’s interview with Asake, this part stood out for me. Asake, while prompting his car’s voice assistant to play him one of his songs, first spoke with a slight accent. But the voice assistant couldn’t understand him and he quickly switched to his original, African self. This, coupled with the usage of the Yoruba language in the interview, shows that to cement your place in the world and get the admiration of the entire world, you must be your original self. This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen and I encourage everyone to go see it as well. God bless all the creatives behind this.

Yes🫩😌

@dicksxnprecious @VictoryOlaleye In 2026 those poor people aren't really spending a lot to support him though.

@CombRazor @VictoryOlaleye It was a bunch of poor people that loved his music and made him blow sha🙂‍↕️

…but it’s the one given in the church that is holding Nigeria back. 😒

@L1h1n0 @chiboyBigGod @stephenstaunchy @VictoryOlaleye I know all that. I used to be a minister and a Bible scholar. I know the story and it turns out that it's not useful to me. Respect to those who do find it useful, though... But it is just fairy tales.

@CombRazor @chiboyBigGod @stephenstaunchy @VictoryOlaleye The church has a beginning, I suggest you start from why the church became the church and who should be the ideal model for the church. Read the New Testament. The church started from there.

@chiboyBigGod @stephenstaunchy @L1h1n0 @VictoryOlaleye I don't dislike the church at all. I just happen to have in-depth knowledge of its history and I don't think it adds any value to my life. I realize other people do derives value from it though, and I do not begrudge them doing what makes them happy.

@CombRazor @stephenstaunchy @L1h1n0 @VictoryOlaleye There are also many overused narrative that has zero truth to it. Maybe you should start be asking yourself a simple question, "why do I dislike the church?"

@stephenstaunchy @L1h1n0 @VictoryOlaleye I agree it is stale. But part of the reason it is so overused is because it is actually true. I cast no judgment btw... I have my own things I'm brainwashed on. Adhering to one narrative or another is part of being a sentient human.

@CombRazor @L1h1n0 @VictoryOlaleye So you can stop complaining. The sheer thought of everyone being brainwashed is a stale narrative

@iamSwaga22 😆😆 it's all good though. I have nothing against the church people. I'm all for people doing whatever makes them happy and spending their money in whatever way gives them peace. But I had to comment because like you said, that was a ridiculous parallel the guy made.

A lot of Christians lack the brain capacity to draw a reasonable parallel , na why😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@0xveektor @VictoryOlaleye Churches shouldn't coerce anybody to give. But it is all the more violent that they do it to poor people, who make up the majority of their congregation. Nobody is coercing these clubbers to do anything.

@CombRazor @VictoryOlaleye So it's fine for churches to coerce wealthy people into giving

@L1h1n0 @VictoryOlaleye I don't have a church. I'm not a brainwashed sheep.

@CombRazor @VictoryOlaleye No, that is your own understanding. You are projecting. Plus, if that is what your church is telling you. You need to start asking questions

@nzemmili @harringtonc2 I think "wey" is probably derived from the English "where"

@harringtonc2 I don’t think it was derived from Igbo

Two most common words in Nigerian Pidgin remains “dey” & “una,” and they’re direct translation of the Igbo words “unu,” & “di,” which means the same thing in Pidgin.

@Hibana122 Nobody has ever said that.

They will lie to you that Fela was the only artiste who was touring America, small small truth go come outside.

@ChibuikeChined4 @AfroVII Fela has never been credited as the first musician in Nigeria. You think there was no music in Nigeria before the 1960s?

@AfroVII Fela is credited to be the 1st Musician in Nigeria doesn't mean all Nigerian music is Afrobeat, many past & present musicians tuned their music into genres that are unique and classified. Everything shouldn't be Afrobeats.

Mike Okri Majek Fashek Onyeka Onwenu Sunny Edna Okoli Shina Peters Obey Alex Zitto Ras Kimono Yvonne Chaka Chaka Christy Essiene Igbokwe What did we start doing post '99 that these guys and others didn't do? Let's start there.

@Zenchmartirve @AfroVII @TheAjibolaGrey I kinda agree on the D’Banj thing tbh. But the rest of your tweet is way off. Onyeka, Evi-Edna, Christy Essien never sang highlife.

@AfroVII @TheAjibolaGrey Mike Okri – Highlife Majek Fashek – Reggae Onyeka Onwenu – Highlife /Gospel KSA – Juju Edna Okoli – Highlife Sir Shina Peters – Juju Obey – Juju /Highlife Alex Zitto – Reggae Ras Kimono – Reggae Y Chaka Chaka -Mbaqanga Christy Essien-Igbokwe –Highlife D’banj started Afrobeats

@MealdredO Yep...same. 💯

Something I learnt in while living in the US for many years... treat everyone with the same respect until they show you that they don't deserve it. That is why I I pick every call, speak to you in the same manner I would speak to the Queen until you start to ment...

@MealdredO Iroko TV is still active?

Just keep making your films, Nigerians may not get your style but some people out in the world and a few on Iroko Tv will appreciate your value. It will be worth it.

@lilyally98 youtu.be/l_8C7gsVrZE?si…

I just discovered Afro country music! I’m begging you people please!! I’m cringing so hard!!😂😂😂😂

@Lady_Meansie @jennienkem She blocked me. So I guess I won that argument by default though "winning" was never the point for me 🤷‍♂️

@Lady_Meansie @jennienkem Quentin Tarantino doesn't know how to use Final Draft. He writes his scripts on a pad by hand. Woody Allen, Stephen King, Ethan Coen, Charlie Kaufman, George RR Martin... None use Final Draft. It's not about "skill" in using software. It's something else money can't buy.

When I used to write for Tinsel, we were lodged in a hotel, fed, paid per diems, paid at the end of the writer’s room etc. 10+ writers. All require funds. Screenwriters are working day jobs & writing at night to earn 100-300k & you want them to compete globally, how?

@Lady_Meansie @jennienkem "Knowledgeable" ≠ "better writing"... it's not a data analysis job.

@CombRazor @jennienkem My overall point was that a higher budget for pay will most likely get you someone better skilled and knowledgeable. It widens your talent pool.
