Award winning African super duo, P-Square talk candidly about their experience with women, in the latest edition of Naija Times.
Extracts...
"The insinuation that women go for love while men go for sex in a relationship is wrong. Women go for the same thing like men. After sex, women gain 70% satisfaction while men gain 30%." Peter

Paul "There was a lady I dated in school when I was busy recording our second album.  I was in my final year and I dated her for two months, yet I never knew that she was having an affair with my room mate".

Do Men Look Better Than Women As They Age?

In this month's issue of Naija Times, as we celebrate Nigeria's 49th year as an independence country, we ask the rather playful question - "Do Men Look Better Than Women At 49?".  We get some very interesting and conflicting comments.  According to Benson Oyanaghakie (a man)  "..studies show that women age faster than men, in fact the general notion is that men become more distinguished as they age and whilst women just keep getting older and older."

“In my opinion, women are more attractive than men although some people claim this is so because women take great care of their bodies,” says 49 year old Katherine Asoro.

Jon Wins Naija Sings...

Jon emerges as the maiden winner of Naija Sings the Mnet talent show aimed at seeking out the very best singing talent.  As reported on the Mnet site, the bright-eyed and humble 18-year old took the title ahead of Tamara and Tarila during a show that featured fantastic duets and a cool performance from Wande Coal.

Jon and FamilyNow the competition was stiff, but in the end the texting voting public chose their winner, similar to what happened last weekend in the spectacular live grand finale of Maltina Dance All where the Ibiams family emerged as winners.

 However, in the forums and social networking sites across the web you read comments from Nigerians that saw their favourite contestant(s) not win complain bitterly of the results.  Which makes this writer ask are Nigerian's sore losers or are we right to be sceptical about the results of talent shows?

Sony vs Nigeria

According to reports the new "PS3 Does Everything advert" that Sony released last month has been pulled. Thanks to mounting pressure from aggrieved Nigerians online and the Nigerian Government, who felt insulted with the "Nigerian millionaire" comment on the "US$ 299 Rumor" ad.  Apparently the Nigerian Government has asked Sony to immediately pull down the advert and issue a public apology.

According to Prof Dora Akunyili, Minister of Information and Communication of Nigeria contrary to the insinuations being made by the PS3 price cut advert:

Nigeria remains a major investment destination and a country where most businesses thrive in trust, good faith, competence and integrity. Nigeria also demands an unconditional apology from Sony Corporation for this deliberate negative campaign against the country’s image and reputation.The apology must be given the same measure of publicity by Sony Corporation in all channels where the unfortunate adverts were aired.In the light of the above, the Federal Government of Nigeria requests Sony Corporation to immediately withdraw that advertisement from circulation.

For those who missed the advert, see below



For those with slow internet connections and/or would rather just know what the fuss is about, the offending comment basically goes...(0.11sec into video) "You can't believe everything you read on the internet otherwise I would be a Nigerian millionaire by now"

Comments please, was the Nigerian Govt. wrong or right to insist on this retraction and apology?
