I have watched with patient
annoyance, I have listen with patient
distress, to the sights and sounds of
our dear actress turn singer Tonto
Dikeh.
Like many others, I chose not to talk
about her but I was forced to know how
wrong I was for keeping silent by the
words of Alibaba and OJB, two eminent
personalities that means a lot to the
entertainment industry.
Alibaba once tweeted "Playing a song of
an artiste that you know is not good
enough is no encouragement you are
spoiling the market", I don't know what
he had in mind. In an online interview
with OJB by the crew of Information
Nigeria, he said.
Foremost, I must say I admire Tonto
Dikeh's confidence and doggedness, but
to what avail is it when used in a wrong
way. A cutlass is a good tool in the hand
of a farmer, without which we cannot get
food to it, but that same cutlass can kill!
Despite her confidence there should be
substance. Is music so hard to learn that
she cannot even get average in a year?
Tonto Dikeh has a well publicised
relationship with one of Africa's best
music producers, Don Jazzy. She once
took to twitter to say she was
deflowered by Don Jazzy and he replied
saying "Me wey I still be V". I don't care
about what they had together, my point
is this, she enjoys a very good
relationship with Don Jazzy, making it
easy for her to have approached Don
Jazzy if she truly wanted to make some
good music.
My opinion is this, it is either Don Jazzy
already told her she cannot sing or she
personally knows she can't and decides
not to talk about it to Don Jazzy.
Many upcoming artistes out there have
seen their career rescinded due to
annoying words from, DJs, Media
personnel and the likes and yet they
make music that are 10 times better
than that of Tonto Dikeh. The only
difference is that she was a star before
she started singing making it is obvious
that all we worship in the entertainment
industry is money and fame not True
talent and ability.
If a lady with the world at her feet and
the cream of the industry at her beck
and call, comes up with a song as poor as
"HI" (Auto tune on a false tone
(falsetto), how woeful?) and we accepted
it, While there are several up and coming
acts out there that can make music has
good as that of Wizkid (I have met a lot
that are better) still roaming the streets.
This makes me wonder if Nigerian music
has a body in place to monitor the type
of music produced and released to the
market. I am not against Tonto Dikeh
singing, I am against her singing
Nonsense! If she can learn to sing well
I'd be the first to clap for her once it is
good music.
Several individuals in several capacities
have built Nigerian Entertainment
Industry (especially the music sector) to
this point of international recognition.
Should we watch with folded arms as
someone crumbles it recklessly? Is it
true that we only work for money not
passion in this industry? Will the labour
of our heroes (and heroines) past go in
vain.
We have to stand up and support good
music! True talent and a not just desire
to be popular, a lust for fame! Let us
remember that injustice anywhere is a
threat to justice everywhere, Tonto
Dikeh has to be stopped for the sake of
the talented youths out there! [url] http://m.naij.com/news/29381.html [/url]

Toto dike again. Let her be o. 2 much janja is her motivatn

OJB is a big fool.

look @ somebody who has been kicked out of the market a long tym ago criticizing anoda.

Just look @ d time and space he put into ds long trash he wrote.

I'm not a fan of tonto dike, but we all should pls give dat lady a chance.

Inyaya's first album is my best, but he did not make money from it, today he sang kukerUBBISH n he's a bigger boi, so what are we talking about.

OJB..I been dey respect u but for ds one now, guy chop knuckle with ur left ear.

Poorly written. Full of grammatical inconsistencies. I doubt this is OJB's penmanship.

It's sad how people drop hateful retorts on unconfirmed reports.

Haha!
See strategy.He's been long forgotten in the entertainment scene and what other way to get attention and shot back to limelight if not by critiquing one of the most controversial and popular actresses of the moment?
We see through you OJB.
Pretete!!

I think this guy should take note of something, nobody's is really taking her serious, it's just for the fun of it, like a comic musical. And even if anybody is, he has no right to condemn them as the most popular or as he said "good" music passes no more meaning as tonto''s music.

Abeggy OJB shud go and sit smwhr,Tonto carry go norin do u,funny enuff I'm beginin to lik dt her itz ova track,they play it all d time on soundcity and d tin has grown on me
