This post is meant to clear the storm about homosexuality that has been raging on TRAE days. Don’t even bother yourself with trying to keep the storm going cos I’ll delete your comment. If you want to discuss homosexuality, do it on your blog.

Jeremy and Owukori misinterpreted my statements and started this storm. When I said “lesbos probably need a dick whipping” I meant that lesbians would most likely have a change of heart on their sexual orientation if they had mind blowing sex with a guy.

If I’ve hurt anybody in the process I’m sincerely sorry. But I still don’t think homosexuality is cool. Since it matters so much to a lot of people what I think about gays, I’m ready to change my mind if the price is right. In the end it’s all about the Naira you know.

For peeps who still think I’m homophobic check this: I’ve started reading afrohomo’s blog! Dude’s writing is simply captivating! And also check this:

I flow straight and precise, like a man killing device/
Fuck with me I’ll take your life, cos my heart’s as cold as ice/
My mouth’s raw as Obie Trice, I love dykes I ain’t biased/
Wanna battle (me)? Come on be wise, I’ll fuck you (up) like a fly ass/

“Dyke” is a slang term for a lesbian.

Thanks for all the love and hate. And Yes I still think hip hop and soccer is life. If you think otherwise, keep it to yourself. It’s a free world.

Although I’m not much of a soccer player, soccer is still the love of my life. It’s the greatest sport in the world! One of the things I really like about it is the celebration that ensues when a goal is scored. It’s not a high scoring sport like basketball so goal celebrations are really wild. The crowd goes crazy and the goal scorer (along with his team mates) gets to celebrate in (almost) any way they like. I’m really really loving the goal celebrations in the on-going African Cup of Nations. Most of them involve a little dance and right now they are the coolest thing on earth!

See Nigeria’s Taye Taiwo’s celebration after scoring against Ghana.
See Côte d’Ivoire’s Drogba’s celebration after scoring against Libya.
See Senegal’s Henry Camara’s celebration after scoring against Zimbabwe.

The list goes on. For my Nigerians who want to get every detail about our ACN campaign Kickoffnigeria.com and forum.cybereagles.com are the very places to be at. Peace!

The Super Eagles celebrate after Taye Taiwo’s goal

Today’s lesson is on chicken and beer. Chickens…chicks…lesbos. Yep, I’m ranting off on homosexuals and drinking.

I’m the last person you’ll see spending money on booze. That is to say I don’t drink. Or more precisely I hardly drink, I do so only socially. And that’s good for me cos I ain’t ever want to see myself addicted to the bottle. But sha I’m kinda getting used to it these days…my friends have being initiating me. You know I gotta be all manly and shit. Some days back we went drinking at one of them garden joints (they’re scattered all over Abuja municipal area council) and after every I got thinking and recognize that when we guys be out drinking we talk a lot of shit; a lot of useless, stupid and silly stuff. It’s like in the economic law of diminishing returns. At first guys meet up to drink once In a while and it’s all fun. Then over time you start to “live to drink”, you’re always gulping down alcohol with your peers. Hanging out over bottles of beer becomes played out, the same old faces, same old dumb minds, same old stupid gist. At that point stuff is being overdone. Me thinks many guys are at this stage. Could we please get a life and move on to other things…don’t you see you’re getting pot bellied?

On the other hand that was a bit too harsh, because for many adults over here considering the social-economic status of the country the beer parlour is their only recreation spot. And some how it’s natural that as boys become men their meeting point changes too from the play ground to the beer parlour. Nevertheless if you’re pro-bottle make sure you’re sipping that drink with the right crew around you and do it in moderation.

We’re through with beer, over to the chicken. My brain did a eureka on me recently, thus I present to you my reproductive organ theory (Keep a straight face and read on!). It simply states that being gay ain’t natural. What are you? A Christian, Muslim, Atheist, whatever. At least you’ll agree with me that the brain(s) behind human life had a reason for giving men a penis and women a vagina. Yuck, this is dirty writing. Henceforth I’m calling them the P and the V. remember I’m not working with spirituality. Just as it’s natural for a woman to breastfeed a baby and a man doing so as would be wrong, it’s also natural for the P to hang out with the V. two V’s hanging out using dildo’s candles and shit or two P’s hanging out hitting each other through the anus is thus crazy…abnormal to say the least! If you’re a farmer looking out for your money and you see your prize bull mounting another bull and not a cow would you say “oh it’s his choice, let him be”? Definitely not, you’ld probably say “that bull is sick in the head”. Therefore under natural law there ain’t no justification for our brothers and sisters being gay. They’re sick in the head straight up. No matter how our minds have being conditioned to look at it as normal it’s not normal.

Being that in Africa homosexuality ain’t a common phenomenon, when I see some of them Western pro-gay stuff I get really baffled. I guess it gets the Nigerian government baffled as well cos they recently started making moves to ban all forms of homosexuality in the country.

Anyways me thinks lesbos probably need a dick whipping and gay dudes probably need to ponder over Tony Tetuila and 2face Idibia’s words: “ogogoro be like woman, if you shack am you go high oh!”

Great combos, props to UNN: okpa and cigar, akara and breast. Another great combo, props to Ludacris: chicken and beer

My fellow soccer freaks I hail oh! The 25th African Cup of Nations: Egypt 2006 is nearer than you think. And our dear own Super Eagles take the field for their first match against Ghana on January 23rd. As you must know the team list for the tournament has since been released. my prediction was 78% correct; 18 players I named in my list made the final 23 squad. Not bad hey?

Anyway the main gist for today is that we all should get ready for a 4-3-3 formation in Egypt. Because going by the team list released, that’s the formation coach Eguavoen is going to make the Eagles play. Traditionally the Eagles play a diamond 4-4-2 formation. However Eguavoen has switched to a 4-3-3 formation in his last two games against Algeria and Zimbabwe. The team list with the player’s squad number is like this:

1) Enyeama Vincent
2) Yobo Joseph
3) Taiwo Taye
4) Kanu Nwankwo
5) Odiah Chidi
6) Enakarhire Joseph
7) Utaka John
8.) Mikel John Obi
9) Obafemi Martins
10) Okocha Austin
11) Lawal Garba
12) Ejide Austin
13) Ayila Yussuf
14) Nsofor Obinna
15) Obiefule Paul
16) Oruma Wilson
17) Aghahowa Julius
18) Obodo Christian
19) Makinwa Ayodele
20) Odemwingie Osaze
21) Nwaneri Obinna
22) Kaita Sani
23) Aiyenugba Dele

Too bad Ifeanyi Udeze opted out of the squad. We’ll miss him; at least he would have been a good cover for Taye Taiwo. Paul Obiefule is the odd man out if you ask me, he’s a defensive midfielder! But sha i hear he can also function as a right back (he even played some games for Nigeria as an attacking mid-filelder), that means he’s a cover for Odiah. Over all the squad is great. In my opinion it’s the most talented Super Eagles squad that has ever been chosen for a tournament. Anyways this is how they’ll play. Against each position is the squad number of the player(s) most likely to play them.

–left wing forward(17,19)———-center forward(9,4,14)————-right wing forward(7,20)–
——-left attacking midfielder(10,16)———–right attacking midfielder(18,8)——————–
————————————-defensive midfielder(13,22)—————————————–
—-left full back(3,11)————————————————————-right full back(5,15)——-
————left center back(21,6)———————-right center back(2)———————-
——————————————–goal keeper(1,12,23)———————————————-

Some people think life is black,
Some people think it’s white,
We all know it’s black and white,
FORZA JUVE!!!

That goes out to c0dec and Chxta my Juventus FC crazy friends. I like Juventus too but only for one reason…They got Trezeguet (somehow he’s my namesake) in their team…and he dons the number 17 jersey (my favourite number)!

Are you the type who has no respect for journalists and reckon they have nothing else to do and so they run their mouth for a living? If you are, then I think you’ve yet to realize the influence they have over our thinking. Because you see, information is what we feed our brains/mind with. And that information is gotten from various media (the internet, news papers, TV, radio etc). And journalists run these various media. Thus we can safely say that journalists control our minds…our lives.

Journalists are constantly on the prowl for stuff they consider news worthy. They get this stuff, work on it and spoon feed it to us babies via the media. We eat it all up, digest it, form opinions in our mind and start talking about it like we’re wise and shit.

Take the case of the 22nd July 2005 killing of a Brazilian man by the London Metropolitan Police. There were a lot of eyewitness but everybody doesn’t run the media. So the very few roving journalists around, who missed the event themselves, get their ass on ground and quiz the witnesses. They harmonize the conflicting statements they get and pass it on to their colleagues who release the stuff as breaking news for the whole world to consume. Commoners, bloggers, and news analyst around the world then start talking and arguing among themselves on the issue. And doing so with some unreliable news statements as their guiding source. In future these inaccurate news statements becomes the reference point for the issue and is treated as truth. Future generations are fed with this info and the life goes on.

So much happens in life but the human mind can’t capture and preserve it all. What is then considered as fact in the future is what is recorded in the various media. But what is recorded is in fact just a tiny fraction of actual happenings. Check out the biography of Catholic Saints and famous people. The Saints are presented as being flawless while the famous are presented as having excelled in their various field of human endeavour. Thus we generations later have them in our minds as super human beings. While in actual fact the rough edges of their life history are sweetened to have nice public appeal. That’s how deep journalist can fuck with our intellect.

It’s plain for all to see they’re the kingmakers. They talk about you positively, we have positive notions of you; they talk about you negatively, we have negative notions of you. Let me come with examples.

The Nigeria you know is basically filled with info from Lagos and Abuja (with little bits and pieces from other famous places) because that’s where a large part of the media is based.

World soccer is centered on the European Champions League (CL) and the English Premier League (EPL) football because it’s what we see, read and hear in the media week in week out. Thus Players in the CL and EPL are the ones we talk about, the ones with the best chance to make their various national teams and the ones most likely to pick up awards. You can’t talk about, pick or give awards to people you don’t see, hear or read about.

The United States controls the world media and so movies, music and culture in all countries has heavy American content. You’ll realize this when you see teenage Nigerian girls discussing about Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s break up as if talking about it will put food on their family’s table.

What people in different countries know about other countries is what they get from the media. They thus form strong opinions in their minds from minute news feeds. Example: when we think of the Caribbean’s, we think of scantily dressed women and all day fun on the beach. When we think of Israel, Palestine and the Middle East; we think of suicide bombs and terrorism. When we think of Africa, we think of corrupt politicians, sit tight rulers and illiterate people.

Hence we now know the kind of power journalist (the mass media) possess, we’ll respect them a little more. On the other hand they should go about their business sensible because the mind is a delicate thing. That’s all folks.

Haven’t really read much of son’s work before but I’ve heard him talk on TV. Anyways was looking for a Nigerian journalist to grace my post and Reuben Abati comes highly recommended as a journalist who knows his onions.
