The article in the guardian written by the Chairman of Guardians Editorial Board and a brilliant scholar, Reuben Abati in Nigeria's Guardian Newspapers receives an interesting and dare I say englightening response from Top Music Star Banky W. The article can be viewed online. I have decided to re post this article on here because our name proudly contains "Naija" and our new site is going to contain the moniker, "9ja" ; you know what though in the words of Baz lurhman from his suncreen hit song in 1999, rings true in this instance and I quote: " Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders." The words once again rings true in this instance, the elder and the future. I understand this is a long read but it is certainly one that is worth while.

It gives us great pleasure to announce that the new award winning documentary film about the multi-platinum superstar, Youssou N’Dour: I BRING WHAT I LOVE , is coming to theaters in New York on June 12 ! Youssou N'Dour: I Bring What I Love is a music-infused cinematic journey about the power of one man’s voice to inspire change. N'Dour is the highest selling African artist of all time and has collaborated with musical superstars like Bono, Neneh Cherry and Peter Gabriel. At home in Senegal, the Grammy-award winning artist is an inspiration for generations.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THIS? A 19 year old girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for two months. Worried..very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later a Ferrari stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit steps out of the Ferrari and enters the house. He sits in the living room with the father, the mother and the girl and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem.
