LETS CALL A SPADE, A SPADE
~2.3 mins read
....bad leadership enthroned by bad followship who entrusted their destinies to those who lacked empathy to their cause. So the finger pointing comes straight back to the people. The best gift a nation can get is the opportunity to decide who will superintend their affairs. But each time we are presented with that opportunity, we spurn it for the few lucre that are doled out every election cycle. And before you throw up the.."they usually rig the elections" excuse, you can take the fact that a rigger only rigs where he is popular and indulged by the people to rig. Thus, is it not hypocrisy to shed crocodile tears that the people have been oppressed and maligned? The worst of the people are even the middle class whose bulk never bother to vote. As long as the people prefer candidates who can only share out money or two sachets of noodles to those who come with only their pro bono records and history of empathy to the people, then they have lost the moral right to complain of bad leadership! And if after the election they go out looting innocent citizen's property, then they are what they are, criminals!

Most times we want to eat our cake and have it. You sold your vote and was denied basic infrastructure, you then pick up a banner to protest bad leadership. It makes no sense. I think going forward, this new agents of social change should use the funds they have generated to sensitize the people on why making the right choices at the polls can effect changes rather than using the money to buy food and drinks and dance away to music in the guise of protest. If we vote without being influenced and we still end up with a bad leader it then means we as a people are bad collectively, and the blame is everybody's. Bad leadership does not give you any excuse to visit woe on a fellow citizen who out of the same extraneous circumstances was able to till his ground, plant his seed and nurture it to fruits out of his sheer hard work. The more we create convenient realities for criminality, the more emboldened the looters will be and the more their dastardly acts get to our doorsteps. Somehow somewhere most of them got it wrong. We all have stories of folks we grow up with who looked at us with disinterest or even derision while we trudge to school with our slate, even with the incentive of free education. What then must we expect. Yes blame the adjudicators of our resources for feeding fat on our common patrimony but reserve the hardest knock for yourself who decided to entrust the safe to a purloiner.

But enough of the blaming game. The present reality is that the insecurity is gradually getting to our doorsteps and as the Professor said, this is not a #Endsars issue but a deeper threat to everybody except the looters. Mind you, looters are looters and they stake out patiently waiting for the opportunity to pounce. The #Endsars provided it. Even in robust economies with levels of social security guarantees, a looter will still loot as we all saw in the US during the BLM protests. In other words, change your government give the best of incentives and opportunities, who will loot will still loot. So call a spade a spade.

Tems Talks About Drake, New Album, Her Mom And More As Her 'Interference' Perfomance Goes Viral On Social Media

After some humorous reluctance during the chat, she admits that her rise has been meteoric.

After some humorous reluctance during the chat, she admits that her rise has been meteoric. She also spoke about her mom's reaction to her current success.

When she was asked about 'Fountains' featuring Drake, she says, “Drake played me a beat and he was like, “Would you hop on this?”

“I was like, “Yeah, of course.” And that was basically how it went. That song was recorded [virtually]. I recorded my part in Nigeria.

When she appeared on Africa Now Radio with Lootlove, she says that, "Honestly, it's unbelievable, literally. When I said I wanted to work with Drake, I just said it. I wasn't thinking about it. I used to listen to Drake all the time when I was in high school and growing up and it was just the first thing that came to my mind.

"And for me to actually meet him, work with him, it's just crazy. It's crazy and that's a full testament to God's blessings, honestly. I can't quantify how grateful I am, because it's not anything I did, I'm just making music. And it just seems like I'm attracting all these people and I'm just so grateful honestly."

She also spoke about her EP, IF ORANGE WAS A PLACE and how it would be different from her album.

She says, “The album is going to be a different thing, definitely. I don’t do the same… I’m someone who likes to do new things all the time.. I have so many experiences that I need to release through my songs. Definitely all new…

On the EP title

When Tems spoke with Lootlove, she says that, "First of all, orange is my favourite fruit. And if you find a very sweet orange and you really dig into it, it's just busting with brightness and like colours and this warmth and it's just a blast of excitement and the word “orange” reminds me of sunset and sunrise, sunset to sunrise, dusk to dawn. And the EP is really the different shades of orange. And it's really the different shades of me."

She then tells Ebro and Stylez that, “It’s about the different shades of me and I see myself on this EP. Kinda like the colour orange and the feeling that you get when you see the colour orange.. The feeling and everything..."
