The Art of the Review, featuring @realDonaldTrump aka fake orange donald


the tower as a mini-me!

a cheap version of something 

As the Huffington Post's Trends Reporter Mary Papenfuss wrote,
"The Vanity Fair review is the latest example of criticism that has distracted the thin-skinned president-elect, who is apparently more concerned about personal insults than a spike in hate crimes in the wake of the election. He has repeatedly taken out time from a busy schedule to blast “Saturday Night Live” parodies of himself, and insisted the cast of “Hamilton” apologize for addressing Vice President-elect Mike Pence from the stage. Although Trump knocked Hamilton, CNN Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer pointed out on air last month, he “doesn’t seem to go out of the way to express his outrage over people hailing him with Nazi salutes."

#J2TW Debate

 Jos To The World OR #Views

How do you like your Oatmeal Music?
Views by Drake and like 10000 people.  Get it on Spotify, Apple, or, you know, download the torrent.


Like the staple cereal food, these oatmeal albums are both
- acceptable to all (most), market-friendly, like vanilla ice-cream.
- a little boring, taking no risks, artistically muted, but hey.
- nice and reasonably soulful.
- with unassailable production.  Clap for smoothness and error-freedom.  Really.  Excellent work. 
- longish and offer all the rap-lite you need. 
  
J2TW by Ice Price and Super Cool Cats / Chocolate City / Nigerian-African entertainment - Listen and Download Now

I recommend both, particularly to people who don't consume enough music to want excessive stylishness or personalization.  The perfect gift for that youngish (20-60 year-old) man you know. 

Oh wait, I was just going to ask you to listen and comment.  Ooops. Listen and comment.

Our HIV problem

The UNAIDS report said that data from South Africa showed young women and teenagers were catching HIV from adult men, many of whom catch it much later in life but then continue a cycle of infection [and] that men are much less likely to know their HIV status and to access treatment than women. 
 - UN: HIV rate in young African women disturbingly high (Aljazeera)

  • HIV continues to be a major global public health issue, having claimed more than 35 million lives so far. In 2015, 1.1 (940 000–1.3 million) million people died from HIV-related causes globally.
  • There were approximately 36.7 (34.0–39.8) million people living with HIV at the end of 2015 with 2.1 (1.8–2.4) million people becoming newly infected with HIV in 2015 globally.
  • Sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected region, with 25.6 (23.1–28.5) million people living with HIV in 2015. Also sub-Saharan Africa accounts for two-thirds of the global total of new HIV infections. 
- HIV/AIDS Factsheet (WHO) for more information 

http://www.avert.org/professionals/hiv-around-world/sub-saharan-africa/overview
Source: avert.org

AIDS no dey show for face.  Wear ya raincoat.

PS Why don't our people like to protect against HIV and STDs?   Why don't African men like condoms?  Have you ever taken an HIV test to know your status?  How popular is 100% abstinence as a prevention method?

Congratulations to Hillary Rodham Clinton - she won the popular vote and we really wish she won the electoral college too

The US Presidential election of November 8, 2016 saw over 100 million American votes and the following result - Hillary Clinton did not win the election.

Although Hillary received slightly more votes than the other major candidate, the winner is decided by a system of lump-sum state-by-state voting called the electoral college system.

So some guy named Donald Trump won. You may have heard of him.

It is traumatic and difficult to cope with the idea that temporarily, incompetence beat out competence, insanity prevailed over sanity, and small-hearted clannishness defeated the progress towards a united colours of America...


But here are words to encourage us:


Nov 9, 2016: Hillary Clinton delivered a message of both disappointment and hope during her concession speech for the 2016 presidential race.

Watch Skepta (Junior Adenuga) perform Shutdown

This year, the award included £25,000 prize money and the ceremony took place on September 15th at Hammersmith Apollo, a few days before Skepta's 34th birthday.  He won for his 2016 album Konnichiwa. 

 ....

In 2015, the shortlist for the Mercury Prize included another Nigerian-British artiste that you'll love: Ghostpoet.  His 2015 album Shedding Skin is gorgeous.  As is his voice.  And everything about the music. 

Recent winners of the Mercury prize include PJ Harvey and James Blake.

Remember Ebola? #93Days in 2014

There's a film, 93 Days, about Nigeria's brief encounter with the contagious disease.
Excited?  


When Patrick Sawyer a Liberian American collapses upon arrival at the Murtala Mohammed International airport, Lagos - Nigeria, he is taken to First Consultant Hospital, where he is admitted with fever-like symptoms.  Against his denials of contact with any Ebola victim in Liberia, the team at first consultant led by Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh quickly deduce there is more to his case than malaria. Their vigilance leads to an early detection that Mr Sawyer indeed had the Ebola Virus disease. 
--
Now it’s a race against time to contain a deadly disease from breaking out and infecting an entire city population and beginning what could be the biggest deadly disease outbreak the world has ever known.
The scare is palpable across the country. The doomsday scenario imagined is here. Over a 93-day period from when Sawyer comes in men and women from Nigeria, WHO and MSF do battle with this deadly disease. 
--
At its core, 93 Days is a compelling human story of dedication, sacrifice, resilience and survival.

If you want to travel, it's through the officials INSIDE the embassy that you will get proper travel documents, not all these shortcuts.  Nowadays human trafficking is real.   See an example of a nice-looking lady accused of deceiving people to travel to Italy/Europe...children were promised good jobs but they were intended for prostitution.  Supposedly they prefer females; men are considered disposable - that means they are free to die in transit, whether in the desert or on the high sea.

Please share this with your loved ones.

We won a medal

One precious bronze for Nigeria!

Nigeria won the bronze medal in men's football at the Rio 2016 Olympic games by defeating Honduras 3-2 in the third-place match.  Brazil took the gold in that event by narrowly defeating Germany (silver) in a penalty shootout.
   
What is the biggest story of the Olympics for you?  There is America's dominance, Bolt's triple-triple, and so much to digest that it will take us another three years at least :)
