US entertainers refuse to come to Nigeria

You see what Boko Haram and all the bombings and killings in the Northern parts of Nigeria in recent times have caused? Oyibo entertainers are refusing to come to this country for any show. They are going to other African countries but have vehemently refused to come here, especially after they were warned by their country to stay away from Nigeria...in the meantime. A few major shows in Nigeria have had to be cancelled because of this. R.Kelly, Ludacris, Keri Hilson were invited to perform at three different shows this December and they all turned it down. It's not like it's major issue but it's just not a good image for us...

Hopefully the killings and bombings will stop, and there will be peace again in our land...

Please blog the below.

A Church in USA Bans Interracial Marriage.
Are there different heavenly (Christian) God for different race? Is Black people's God different from White people's God? I need to know. Help :)

Horrible Hicks Ban Interracial Couples from Church.

"Just when you think America has achieved a modicum of race-related civility, the dumb fucks of the Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church of Pike County, Kentucky vote to ban interracial couples from their church. Quit existing already, you racist hicks."

"Hopefully the killings and bombings will stop, and there will be peace again in our land" is it by hoping r by action!

We can only hope that the unnecessary killings and bombing stop and that peace reigns again. On a side note, I can care less about all these akata performers. I won't even pay to see them perform here in the states. Atleast, the money Nigerians youths will use to pay for their over priced tickets to see them can be used to see our own Nigerian/African artists instead. American economy continues to go down in the dump anyway so sooner or later, their artists will not be sought after anymore in black Africa.

who needs them they need us more than we do..when Terry G..dey there..dey rot after being denied UK visa AGAIN!!..But seriously more worried about investments in the country...Businesses tho are only bothered about the Niger Delta where the oil flows..
Let's be honest the Northerners want to distablise their Region and make GEJ look inefficient..and we then turn against him..unfortunately he's playing into their hands!!

Linda it is a major issue...if I hear! if the boko haram says they don't want education in dia region nd btw wu tell u say kids dia wan go school except for few of dem .abeg make dem close all the schools johr or make everybody go em own way(southern and northern sudan kind of things) lol atleast dem no go dey waste our brothers and sisters as if they are chickens and if any northerner chooses to be educated the fG should make arrangement for them to come down south cos I tire 4 all this killings o! (Strictly my view, my mind, my opinion so yu watch it b4 u decide to hit me o).
Only sum years back a female teacher from one of the south western state was burnt alive in one of the northern states after she caught one of the student cheating..it lerra turn out that the piece of paper she had seized from the student was torn out of a koran...my people that was the end of the story o(dem no wan hear the rest ), dem naked am, beat am like mad b4 dem burn am! Linda u could even do a research on this story because nobody has been held for the crime since! (It was pathetic I just had to brief it)

So is until the oyibo say they don't want to come, that's when we know we have a problem.

I don't really care if they come or not bcos it's too much spending inviting American artists. All that money can go into smth else. I can't wait, when Naijas esp the youths will stand up against the government. Like TUnisia, Egypt, etc. Then the right people, not the rebels but the right leaders will step in. Did I read somewhere that Buhari want to run 2013 again?
I hope by then, all the bad belle old leaders would have vanished from earth.

No be only Oyinbi, dey fear to come to Nigeria. Lets be frank with ourselves. I am a Nigerian, and I know lots of Nigerians in diaspora that are afraid to come home. Usually December is when a lot of people come home for xmass. Wait and see what will happen this year. The truth is that, even Nigerians in diaspora have also stayed away from the country for now. Its too much risk. Armed robbery, kidnapping, boko haram, bad roads are things keeping people away from that country. Afterall you voted GEJ and not PDP. BIG MISTAKE!

these damn NORTHERNS. they need to be kicked out of nigeria. they don't contribute anything good to this country, but their wahala is 100 times more than the rest.

infact, they ruined the country with mismanagement since military rule.

and then sabotaged our democracy stealing and killing is all they know -___-

The killings will not stop until Nigeria is a united country. One Nigeria, one people. Until that happens the bullshyt will continue.

they should remove the north from Nigeria, that is after they move the food basket. Since they refuse to control their inbreeds.

luga owoski said...

Seee them seee them...f-uck Rkelly...f-uck keri hilson fu-ck luda bla bla...jus one phrase. F-UCK yu tooo....
make them come here con die abi?....this should have been a moment for us to look at the present situation and ask our self if this is the best thing for us as a nation not blaming the US because they cares about the life of their citizens unlike our own country wey be say everyman is for himself (wu givs a fuck if dbanj or 2face go iraq go perform)....
Its so sad honestly, make US dey warn dia citizens say make dem no come ur country but dem fil go ghana go gambia of cause it aint good... smh...do you how many nigerian who will have love to see luda perform? not quite long ago miss world was suppose to be held in this country shebi una all know wetin happen wey all dis hausa boys fumble(was it boko haram then?) No be today na ....
I don talk am nd I go still talk am the south nd the north doesn't belong together and you might wanna say we should forget our differences and work 2geda as one but I think its high time we understand our differences! Infact almagamating us was the biggest mistake of 1914!

More people are killed in gang violence in Chicago a month--in the neighbourhood that R.Kelly was born--than all the people Boko Haram has killed thus far in Nigeria and R. Kelly and Ludacris--another resident of Chicago--still perform in Chicago.

Continue to develop your talent Nigeria!!

Fuck R. Kelly etc

Anonymous said...

Nigeria musicians are rocking the airwaves now in the whole world.London radio stations including Capital FM,choice FM, Magic FM etc now play African music.All African parties in the UK and US now prefer African Artiste and choice of music.Who really cares about had beens like R Kelly? Did you not hear about his sex abuse case.Ludacriss is one guy without talent.Can both of them please go to bed.

Didn't Brandy just left Nigeria?? And i thought she said she enjoyed it. Oh Well....

lucabracee said...

linda please i beg you will you stop this??
who gives a rats ass if they come in the first place,are they not getting paid for the show???

as if terrorism does not exist in the america where they live..there is even more of a palpable and higher risk of terrorism in america than in nigeria where it is consigned to a certain geographical area...im sure the likes of dbanj and co will even be happy because it means more money and more shows for them

Anonymous said...

understandable they dont want to come. What is scary though is da comments i've seen here> "the north should be removed from nigeria". clearly we have a problem and you'll think the youths would unite and try nd solve it. but we are goin down hill just like opur predecessors! SAD. ONE NIGERIA always!!!!!

tucTalk said...

Well, december would not still be dry without them...

I'm enjoying Nigerian artists now, so they can entertain their people in Nigeria. We don't need American artists anymore.
