MEN'S GUIDE
MEN'S GUIDE
Thinking of ways to achieve that suave male aura? Then try these five steps that has worked for every sexy clean male .
1. STICK TO THE BASICS
While trying to look the best, is important that you don't over do it. Sticking to the basics makes it possible for you to try out various looks that are comfortable and works for you. In as much as you want to make fashion statement, please stick to the basics. If possible get a stylist and explain your fashion fantasy.
2. PICK A GREAT HAIRSTYLE
Fashion is a way of life. Your style speaks a great deal about you especially the haircut you spotting on, hence the need to go with hairstyles that suits your fashion. Most times you see male on dreadlocks expressing a gentleman style. It definitely doesn't work that way. You don't want to look like a gentleman while spotting on an unkempt dreadlocks or afro- very unactractive.
If on low cut, always brush and cream your hair and your beards should be on that is suitable.
3. SMELL GOOD
This is like a big deal for me, not just as a woman but as a human. It really hurts me when i see a very stylishly dress male with very distinctive smell. IS A BIG NO FOR ME. Man go get some nice perfume and good deodorant.
Like i always tell everyone NEVER INVEST IN YOUR CLOTHES WHILE YOU SMELL BAD.
There are good and affordable deodorant and perfume in the market, get one today.
4. GREAT SKIN PRODUCT
'I don't like cream, my skin is good enough' hello bros!!! you can't stay stylish with a bad skin and don't start preaching to me about how you not a woman and don't need cream. Cream is not a woman THING but for everyone. Looking Suave involves yours skin and not just your clothes. So go out and shop the perfect clothes and skincare products for that suave appearance.
5. AND YES! YOU CAN SPEND LESS WHILE TRYING TO ACHIEVE STYLISHNESS.
There are affordable clothes in the market. You don't have to break the bank uncle! STOP giving excuses and enter market if you can't afford the designer stuffs for now.
DON'T forget to leave your comment or stylish advise on what works for you.
Thanks

Chelsea and The Harzards Ahead
W
|
ith Chelsea
clinching its 6th English premier League title, they are sure having
their turn in the limelight—not that it’s such a new thing for them,
anyway. They can go all out to celebrate
their triumph even with two matches left.
Chelsea won the coveted trophy in England with
a 1-0 away win over West Bromwich Albion on May 12, under the tactical guidance
of Antonio Conte, a first timer in English Premier League. Chelsea, no doubt,
had a great run this season, winning the matches that mattered with their
innovative formation, which had most teams second-guessing the lethal power of
their coach’s antics.
This might seem too
early, but it is interesting to speculate what happens next after this outing,
especially with the transfer window coming and the return to the UCL, which has
its peculiar pressures. Chelsea is
likely to encounter hurdles upon hurdles. How you might ask? Here are some of
the reasons why they are likely to miss out on all the trophies and not retain
their title next season.
1.
UCL
Rumbles
With
winning the premier league title, Chelsea has automatic ticket to next seasons UEFA
Champions League, which they didn’t make this season, giving them better
chances at focusing on the premier league. Though there might be other factors,
but this can be easily linked to their win. Other teams like Manchester United,
Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City had their hands full with championship
and other competitions.
2. Adapt to Conte’s style
Conte’s
freshness in England paid off as his formation is quite new, catching other
teams unawares. Come next season, teams would have familiarized themselves with
his style which puts Chelsea on the precarious position. Now the chances of his
coming with a new formation is likely impossible as coaches are known to use
what works best for them.
3. Likely Exist of Eden Hazard
Hazard
is undoubtedly the fireman for Chelsea and with Real Madrid showing interest in
him, his chances of remaining at Stanford Bridge is slim. This might not be a
major problem but finding an adequate replacement immediately is definitely a
problem for Chelsea.
4. Transfer Market
The
transfer market opens very soon and who knows who will be leaving and who will
remain and how quick can the team regroup to make a formidable entity like the
just concluded season? Not forgetting the fact that other teams will be tightening
any loose end.
Mourinho
and Pep Guardiola are coming for the win next season as the latter would want
to continue with his track record of being a winner.

BILLBOARD AWARDS: Is Wizkid really a winner?
T
|
he Billboard Music Awards took over the
airwaves last night. This year’s Billboard Music Awards was held on 21st
of May, 2017 at the T-mobile Arena in Las Vegas with an enchanting performance
by legendary and ageless singer Celine Dion, who performed her all time
masterpiece “MY HEART WILL GO ON” in memory of her husband and brother who both
died in 2016 and the 20th anniversary of Titanic.
The music award is based on key fan
interactions with music, as well as streaming, radio airplay, album and digital
song sales, touring and social engagement.
Drake stole the spotlight, winning 13
awards from his 22 nominations surpassing Adele who won 12 awards at the show
in 2012. With his winning, he beat the likes of Rihanna, Beyoncé, Justin
Bieber, Adele, and the Chainsmokers who were major contenders.
One Dance, Drake’s collaboration with our
very own starboy, Wizkid and Kyla won three awards at the show: Top R&B
Song, Top R&B Collaboration and Top Streaming Song- making Wizkid the first
African to ever win a Billboard Award.
There have been controversial comments
circulating the media concerning Wizkid’s collaboration with Drake. Comments
are saying the starboy didn’t win at the billboard as he isn’t the owner of the
song which won the award.
According to multiple award winning On Air
Personality with the Beat99.9fm Wizkid has no claim to the award but mere
credit by virtue of his contribution to the song as the song belongs to Drake.
If this be the case, why then was his name listed on the nomination list?
Apparently, the nominations won’t be complete with the full description of the
songs.
What is your opinion on this turn of event
as his fans are feeling their star is been disrespected by those saying his not
a winner especially with the fact that he is the first African to ever win at
the Billboard Music Awards?

Nonso Amadi's Tonight and the challenge ahead
N
|
othing is
impossible but not every producer is blessed with the talent to produce music
as well as sing a good one, but the story has been different for the likes of
Cobhams Asuquo, Maleek Berry, and now Nonso Amadi.
Nonso Amadi
can be described as an artiste with raw talent yet untapped. He is an
exceptional producer, singer, songwriter with a pictorial,
serenading touch to his songs.
With his
debut single ALONE which tells the story of one-sided love to LONG WAY HOME
where the love became mutual and currently his latest single TONIGHT which has
gotten unexpected massive airplay.
Nonso
started his music career by exploring different genres of music, and his love
for good sound led to his always trying to impress a friend of his during his
university days in Covenant University.
According to
him “I took music up seriously as a shared interest with a close friend of mine
in the university. I used to make beats mainly to impress him because he is
someone I admire production-wise”
TONIGHT
My girl,
she got a
gun in her hand
And she
keeps warning a man
The song
started in a dramatic form and tells us a story of a girl who has been in a
relationship with a guy with so many flaws and lack of commitment to their
relationship but she stuck around waiting for him to change but obviously the
long awaited change never came and now she has had enough and decided a
break-up is the best option.
Baby girl
I know what i did
You ain’t
gotta run the amount
So run
the amount
Baby I
say run the amount
The song
takes us to another angle of the story where it becomes obvious the guy is
aware he has wronged his girl on several occasions and doesn’t want her to
replay the number of times because they are numerous and he feels ashamed.
Let me
know how you really feel
So run
the amount
You know
I got a special spot to help you remember me
The girl in
question definitely loves this guy as his convinced of this due to her soft
spot for him which never allows her to totally forget him. She keeps remembering
him and like every guy, they always want to know how their woman feels about
them. He pushes a little further by asking her to tell him her she really felt
about him notwithstanding the huddle in their relationship and this time she is
permitted to mention as many times as possible how she feels about him unlike
when he wronged her and he tells her not to mention those times.
And every
time you leave this spot
You know
I get to see
Aww,
she’s bright like electric bulb
So
everybody gets to see yeah
And every
time you leave this spot
You know
I get to see yeah
This part of
the song shows this is not the first time they have had a break up and each
time he is affected as an essential part of him keeps leaving and he can’t live
without her (the one he loves). He goes further to compare her to an electric
bulb. Now this comparison can make several meanings depending on how you want
to; but mine comes in two ways: one, the guy sees her as an electric bulb which
lightens his dark life and makes everything look clear and perfect. And just
like every human, when something we cherish is taken away from us, we feel the
impact and might choose to revolt. secondly, comparing her to an electric bulb
goes to tell us how beautiful he sees her, and just like a powered electric
bulb, her beauty cannot be hidden and everyone sees this.
But
tonight you can’t call my phone
Tonight
you can’t call me all night long
Tonight I
represent the guy with the money who lives fast but still baby don’t die young\
Night calls
are part of every relationship with our youths. This is when lovers get the
chance to talk about their day, gossip, gist, among other side talks.
Apparently, the usual long night call is not happening tonight as his girl has
left. Now his living the effect of a heartbreak like a young man with money to
squander away and not thinking about the future rather his living the fast life
and trying to forget her, even with all his heartbreak, he wishes her long life
even without him.
CHORUS
Say
tonight just go all the way with me (x8)
The
unforgettable chorus did justice to the whole song with it mere one line
lyrics. The chorus was pleading and also promising all in its simplicity.
Asking for something other than what we got would have killed the whole story
Verse 2
See a
different loving I mean not boast
Me I keep
on dodging them in my post
I don’t
even mind your number too
This verse
of the song goes ahead to show the lovebirds are still not back and the guy
goes ahead to tell her how his getting so much love from other ladies, although
she should not think his boasting about it as his not interested in anyone of
them but her, and he will be soooo pleased to get a call from her.
Tell me
what you want I want it too
But if
you wanna go I understand why
I could
never be the number one guy\
I don’t
even mind a number two
Relationships
are all about compromising and at this point he has come to realise that and
wishes to know the things she wants such as changing for her as his ready to
support her by wanting same things for both of them. But he understands if she
still wants to go after all his willingness to change for her because his still
not fit to be her number one man because she deserves someone better. He goes
ahead to tell her that he doesn’t mind being her second man If she will have
him. This goes to show how much he is willing to go through to have her back in
his life.
THE
CRITICS believe
this is an amazing piece, totally different from what we are used to from most
of our Nigerian artistes. But the question is, how long can he maintain his
style of music? Artists, who tried this genre of music in Nigeria,
have always ended up doing dancehall music as that is what is widely accepted.
VERDICT: 7/10
