Hi Everyone!!!

Its been long right?!! Wow...really long! I hope all is as great as I left it. Where have I been? Well I have been out picking up information; back to school...well not school-school like we all know but learning stuff that no one will teach you within the four walls of a school.
Simply put, I was working as an intern at one of the top firms in Nigeria and brother was it an experience.My blog and other parts of my life had to take back seat for the time I was away.
All in all, I will like to say that even though most of  my clothes don't fit  and I almost crashed at some point, this was one of the most memorable times of my life. I think that there are some experiences that we need to have to help us make good life decisions so that we don't 'think' but 'know' for a fact. I have much respect for the BC Abuja Fam.They were and are the best. I won't say that I enjoyed  the whole four weeks - that would be a lie:). There were somethings I could do without but then life would not be interesting and I wouldn't have stories to tell. So blessings to BC ABJ Fam! Hope to see you all again:)
And to the awesome ladies who sent me mails, wondering what was going on with me, abeg chop knuckle! Chizzy girl, Seun of MSE, Natural Nigerian, PharmNikki, you all are the best!! Muah!
I also see some new DBK followers on here. Welcome on board Ladies! Thanks for joining this site:). I look forward to reading your comments and learning from you as well.
So DBK is back on and the posts shall begin to roll in ASAP.
Thats all for now.
Peace, Heart, Natural!

Follow-follow, your song tells a lot about us

 Nigerian music/videos have gone from being boringly predictable to plain annoying. That's not to say that there are no correct artists out there o. Lagbaja, Asa, Nneka, Brymo to name a few, still dey make us proud ^_^. Last week a friend of mine asked: "why do you have all this...boring music. Abi you no like correct jamz?" By 'correct jamz', my friend is referring to the popular  noise that plays on almost every radio station.

There is no doubt that Nigerians are talented people and  have abundant  material  to produce some great stuff but all this 'me i wan yogodo' noise does not cut it for some us.
 Think I'm exaggerating about the quality of music we get, then read Elnathan's  post on the Daily Times. It pretty much summarizes the Nigerian music industry.

 

Why can't Lagbaja's creativity and originality spread?

Who says we don't get recognition ?One more reason to love Lagbaja. That sisters twist out was on point!

No one is saying that we must all sound like Fela Kuti, Victor Uwaifo or Mejek Fajek (the majek of back in the day o) but please put in some extra effort at being yourself. Sometimes I can't even tell that the person singing is Nigerian. Dem go twist-twist their tongue so-taaay the English sef go scatter...anh-ahn na wetin?!!  

Below is a video from Brymo that I totally appreciate.Yes, there's the party scene and what my brother calls the 'skinny-jeans-and- a Mic-Nigerian-boy- look'  but I totally dig the Eyo masquerades, the lady rocking a Twa, the Yoruba man in his traditional outfit -dancing like Yoruba man, and the ballet dancers who should have been out of place but blended beautifully well with everything else.

 

  Like how can you listen to or watch  Ara and not know that this is Green-White-Green?

So what do you think of the Nigerian music industry? Any favorites I haven't mentioned above? Please share because I'm very interested in good music.

Bino and Fino Dance Azonto

Lol at Papa Papa's old school moves. My sisters and I love this clip.

Bino and Fino is West Africa's first children's educational cartoon. If you look to the left side of the blog you will see a Bino and Fino button asking for your support. A lot of work and finance goes into keeping this show alive so please support the makers. 

For those of you who see cartoons as a waste of time you are entitled to your opinion. But remember that your kids love them and would watch whatever is available. Lets support Bino and Fino, let our kids watch cartoons with characters that look and sound like them.

This is a food related post.

Most of us late 80's and 90's babies have grown up loving Indomie. The company dey try sha as they have been coming up with new flavors to keep all Indomie monsters happy and interested. Anyways, I heard that the Indomie company had added a new size and I was shocked to actually see this huge packet in a store..oh boy...who fit chop one of these things...see trouble...
