Nikki has been in the bizness since time in memorial…she is now been recognised and acknowledged for her talent and dedication and perseverance…no one can say she has not earned the right to be there..unlike other white artists she has not been fast tracked …Nikki is not going anywhere …Our Black female artists are “ simply MASHIN UP the Scene “ individually and collectively are a FORCE in the industry and there is more than enough room to accommodate them…They all have their own unique skills and should not be compared or pitted against each other .. The usual suspects in the audience probably wished they stay at home …should have stayed at home… If looks could kill - say no more -l am amazed how Nikki and ALL the other artists perform to such a high standard yet their shows are different in every way …they are for ever pushing the boundaries and re :invented and staying relevant all the time one wonders what will they bring/do next..thry have raised the bar so high which other artists will struggle to compete.. the days of critics slamming our Muzik is dead and gone as these Black women have made it into an ART …and given back the kudos it so well deserves…The future of our muzik is in safe hands now and for generations to come... BLACK MUZIK has and will always be at the centre of ALL the cultures in our UNIVERSE..

(ENGLISH) SIDEWAY SLEEPING VS GRANNY METHOD Chronic patient died not due to vaccine but vaccine cannot help their aged organ, till could function like nornal. Who not fear of dying after age reached 60 since vaccine cannot rejuvenate your organ or function at high capacity, during covid infection. The actual meaning of chronic diseases or sickness related to human organ, nothing about weak immune system. Method to counter covid indeed exist, just avoid using oxygen tank, when having difficulty breathing. This due to human still can breath using only one lungs during sideway sleeping. Cos one of your lungs would be conpressed by body weight and alternate, if one side congessed, so you still can breath after the compressed lungs expanded again. Yet this method cannot be use, if the deteriorating organ were your lungs. Since your lungs already facing problem, you need to use granny method to counter covid or force the disease change behavior, that exist in my vk profile (link provided below) CONCLUSION You still have a choice, if your lungs were healthy. Cos sideway sleeping only can kill you, if your lungs forced to operate separately or at high capacity even your plane left engine, occasionally would emit black smoke. SHORTNESS OF BREATH This symptom related to covid patient or how deep you inhale cannot end. Why? Cos your lungs capacity only left 50% or your inhalation only reach halfway since something eating space in your lungs till nothing can enter anymore even how deep you imhale unless air inside your lungs released 1st, so inhalation process can repeat. The main reason, why the patient breathing, looks kind of short. Cos shortness of breath were different compared to difficulty breathing suffered by elders since muscle pulling their lungs during breathing were getting old and need oxygen tank for support. The reason, why coma patients need the hose be pulled before can die. . But why covid patient not needed to pull hose? Cos difficulty breathing have two type, whereby shortness of breath should use sideway sleeping since the lungs always be compressed during changeover, forcing out whatever congested inside. (Refer to my video about meaning of love that exist due to a science theory in book of life and remember Alan Walker cos Dajjal did not come alone) 6gu7

Sooo proud of her journey and she earned this night.
