Fresh off the epoch-making FORTYfied events which peaked with the hugely successful All-Star Tribute Concert, pop phenomenon, 2Baba joins millions of Nigerians at home and abroad in celebration of the nation’s 55th Independence day with an exciting rendition of the national anthem.
2baba‘s commitment to the Nigeria project inspires the need to reiterate the message of peace and unity riding on a stirring performance of ‘National Anthem’ composed by late Pa Benedict Odiase (MON).
The song is produced by Bolji Beatz, a member of 2Baba’s Tek band and producer behind the Afrobeat-inspired banger “Jeje” off The Ascension album (2014).
As Nigeria turns 55 2Baba hopes this song can inspire hope and strengthen belief in the Nigerian project.

English is widely considered the universal language of travel, and so, many travelers often assume everyone they meet should speak some level of English. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. While staff at the airport, hotels and some restaurants in many cities might know a few words of English (as they often deal with visitors), the locals who rarely encounter foreigners may not speak any English at all.
If you are stuck in a city where no one speaks a language you understand, and you have no clue on how to survive, here are 5 tips survive, 5 tips on how to help you communicate anyways.
1) Do not panic
While language difficulties can be frustrating and even scary sometimes, stay optimistic! Fretting will only draw attention and encourage swindlers to take advantage of you. Employ logic and maintain a confident composure. No matter how dire your situation, you will cross the hurdle eventually.
2) Try gestures
Body language plays a huge role in communication. Try hand gestures and miming as they are almost universally understood.
You may be worried about looking silly, but as long as you get the results you want, this should be the least of your concerns. Simple hand gestures, miming, drawing and pointing go a long way towards breaking through any language barrier.
You however need to be careful with your gesticulations as seemingly innocent gestures in your own country could prove offensive elsewhere in the world. To play safe, it’s wise to read up on taboos and hand gestures before using them.
3) Learn the basics
Mastering new languages can be unbearably difficult, however, learning the basics of a foreign language can be a life saver.
People are immediately friendlier when you use simple phrases as ‘Hello”, “Thank You” and “Please”. Learn the meaning of these phrases in the local language and use them. The people you are trying to communicate with will be more considerate, most likely appreciate your efforts and be much more willing to assist.
You can even take it a step further by learning important sentences such as: “Do you speak English?” or “I am lost, can you help me?” There are books and resources available online for this purpose.
4) Have a notepad and a pen
When speaking fails, writing usually comes in handy. Ensure you have a notepad that has your information in case of an emergency.
Write down the address of your lodgings in the local language and the contact information of a travel buddy or local who you know. If you get lost, you can give the note pad to a taxi driver and he will take you back to your hotel in no time.
Even if you have learnt the basics, it is still important to write down information on your itinerary or things you need to purchase as you might not know how to make the correct pronunciation. For instance, the city ‘Nice” in the south of france is pronounced “Niss” rather than the normal English equivalent ‘nice’.
5) Use a translator
The great thing about living in the 21st century is that there is literally an app for everything- as long as you have a smartphone, tablet and internet service, all hope is not lost. Simply download a translation app!
Google Translate works wonders as it cover a long list of languages, and it gives you an option of deciphering even languages you cannot identify. All you need to do is have a local speak a word of the language into the app’s mic or you point your phone camera at the written word and it will work its magic. If you are not the techy type, you can simply resort to the old school method and hire a language translator as a guide.

World’s oldest twins are still close as ever at age 103.
Meet Glenys Thomas and Florence Davies, the oldest living twins in the UK, according to Abermill Care Home in Caerphilly, Wales, where they now live. Many reports indicate they also are the oldest identical twins in the world.
They still live next door to each other, much like they have most of their lives, at age 103. The duo were born in Wales in 1911 — the year before the Titanic sank — and have lived through over a dozen prime ministers. Thomas’ daughter, Gwenda Stacey, told the Daily Mail that the sisters have been virtually inseparable most of their lives and even shared a room until her mother left their family home to get married.
It seems they lived a simple life, in a tight-knit family and community, which is perhaps why they have enjoyed such longevity. Neither Mam or Aunty Flo can drive. They never went abroad. But they were always happiest together.
