The following explains why Wizkid was not nominated for a Grammy award this year.

We have addressed concerns about Wizkid not receiving a Grammy Award nomination before the 2023 ceremony.

One of the biggest exports from Africa, Wizkid, was conspicuously absent from the Recording Academy’s complete list of candidates, which was announced on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, in advance of the legendary 65th edition of the renowned Grammy Awards.

The artist Big Wiz did not release any projects during the period of eligibility for the Grammy awards, which led to numerous doubts being raised on social media as people tried to comprehend why he had been omitted.

What Time Frame Are Grammy Awards Eligible?

The Recording Academy, which oversees the Grammy Awards, states that the term of eligibility for this prestigious award runs from Friday, October 1, 2021, through Friday, September 30, 2022. This means that only those works or endeavors that are released during this time frame are eligible for consideration for the 65th edition.

The song “More Love Less Ego” by Wizkid wasn’t published until November 11th, 2022, therefore even while it isn’t eligible for the Grammy Awards in 2023, it might still be nominated for the 66th edition in 2024.

Dear Nigerian Women, Let’s Discuss Your Flirting Prowess

A prophecy made before Nigeria even existed said that its ladies wouldn’t know how to flirt. Unfortunately, it did happen, and Nigerian women began acting absurdly, which they refer to as flirting. So that Nigerian women can answer for their crimes, we need to have a discussion.

Staring is not it 

Even if you fixate on them for three business days, they won’t realize you like them. They would want nothing to do with you since, if anything, they think you’re a strange person. Consider starting a conversation. You won’t pass away. Avoid giving them the impression that you are trying to predict their future.

No, they can’t read your mind 

You can’t assume that they will be aware of your admiration. Reading minds is not a skill that humans are born with. Rest if you are unable to expand your mouth while still seeming gorgeous.

Calling them “big head” isn’t enough

Calling someone names when you’re flirting with them is childish. You are an adult who can express your sentiments; you are not a child. However, you’ll be perplexed as to why they friend-zoned you. Babe, why won’t they treat you like a friend when you arrive with the spirit of one?

“Let your girlfriend not come and beat me o” 

Aunty, start by asking if they have a girlfriend. If you’re wary about someone approaching you in a woman’s body, express an interest in them and wait to hear what they have to say.

Constantly saying “fine boy like you” 

He is a fine boy if he is one. Stop attempting to smuggle praises in. “How can you say that to a fine boy like you?” Even students in secondary education are more straightforward than this. You can pay the compliment if you wish.

“Sir” doesn’t work either 

Why do women call men “sir” when they are flirting with them? How severe is your father-issues? Why is this? You don’t even address the person who pays your salary as “sir.”

Liking multiple pictures 

Pictures are enjoyed by all. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything that you like several images. Instead, try sending them a DM. That is the way things are.

Excited Nigerian woman describes struggles she had while working toward becoming branch manager of Canada’s top bank.

Patience Adesuwa Ajao, a Nigerian living in Canada, describes her struggles to advance to the position of branch manager at one of Canada’s top banks.

Patience detailed the difficulties she encountered as a black woman from Nigeria living in a multicultural nation in a Facebook post.

She emphasized the necessity for immigrants to find for organizations that will recognize their potential while urging them to strive for the best.

Mrs. Patience Adesuwa Ajao wrote in a lengthy post:

“Upon relocating to Canada eight years ago, I was told to abandon all thoughts of building a career, and just, survive. A few months later, I accepted the Customer Service Representative role with one of Canada’s top five Banks,” she wrote.

Talks in my ears sounded like: you will not get promoted, you will be a teller for life, remember you are black, a woman and an immigrant from Nigeria, three strikes against you. Forging on, I moved through four roles: Financial Services Representative, Financial Advisor, Manager of Customer Experience, and Assistant Branch Manager.

In addition to having my 3rd child, pregnancy and maternity did not prevent my climb up the ladder. Needless to say, I have since distanced myself from those that never believed in me.

I am blessed to be a part of an organization that has provided a level playing field for everyone. In this month of November 2022, I accepted the promotion to the role of Branch Manager, thank you TD!!

Finally, Dear Immigrants: seek an organization that will accept your potential and believe in yourself that you can attain whatever height you aim for.”
