jiggaz: Also the fact that in those climes, naija music rules the airwaves shows their artist need to improve like the South Africans have. A Blackman is just generally attracted to good sound, it's like a moth to a flame.( btw who remembers Chapelle's skit on what makes good sound to whites and blacks? one of the funniest and truest skits ever!) |

Most eastern musicians have been reigning for years with little recognition but the moment they relocate or have major collaboration they hit, the last val show in owerri most people didn't attend because the major act was ycee, according to them he isn't popular, 1 Like |

That's simply because we are the best, the likes of Kirmani, AKA, Emtee, Sarkodie, Diamond etc made their break through because they understand how Nigerian market is, and worked more on opportunities rather than competition. |

But why do sadist like to say nigerian music is pangolo...who cares if your choice of music is funeral songs. Why castigate what millions of people enjoy just because you don't listen to them... If those so called artist appeal to our ears of course we'll hear them, about the language ish, i'm a westerner but I love phyno, zoro and a couple of them,while I don't understand a thing same goes to Ghanaian music... If you're good you'll sell your music anywhere... 2 Likes 1 Share |

kallmemrB: Perhaps this illustrates the reason. The authors effectively states that Nigerians like rubbish music and since the rest of Africa plays better music, Nigerians don't want to buy the good stuff. The author receives 74 likes for this self-deceit. May I suggest that to get the better of Nigerians, foreigners need to be honest with themselves. This is what Nigerians do, they criticize themselves always and this enables them to improve. Improve your music - in whatever genre you wish to compete with -and Nigerians will buy. |

i have also noticed this, from my observation, i discovered that there are a few things owing up to the difficulty of African musicians penetrating into the Nigerian market... Nigerian market is already saturated but despite the fact.. there are a lot of African songs that are supposed to top the chart, and if you have the right vibe it will sell. .some of the problems are.. poor branding and online media presence, Nigerians are more aggressive in getting their name out there through their brand. you can see it from Instagram, twitter to their you tube views.. they ensure there is a strong engagement that could rival the ones in the western world hence getting more attention. they spend money to get money! non competitive music tv/radio from their region stations to air their music across borders,as it stands we have names like mtv base , sound city channel o and trace moving the pack. artist making music to suite local market only, weak and medicore artist managemet also Nigeria seems to have bought in mtv and trace.. so any artist wanting to break needs to needs to act constructively and get connects for that massive airplay |

kallmemrB:1. There's no such thing as language barrier in art. Diamond, Sarkodie, Sauti Sol, Awilo Longomba, e.t.c that broke into the Naija market, do we understand their language? 2. African music is usually loud and hip. An influence from our indigenous cultural music. So this point is null and void as well. 3. There's no such thing as too many artists. No matter how many artists exist, as long as your art is appealing, you'll always find fans. Also, you must probably be watching all these crap home videos marketed on wheelbarrows. Get to the nearest cinema and watch a Nollywood movie. Also, our music ain't stupid. Bottomline : Any African artiste that can't break into the Naija market is because his music style doesn't appeal to a lot of Nigerians. |

gidjah: You make it sound like Nigerians have the monopoly on lewd music. Anaconda by Nicki Minaj, B0oty by JLo, A55 by Big Sean, Belly Dancer by Akon, In luv with a str1pper by Convict Music, e.t.c How many top artistes in Nigeria built a career on lewd music? Most lewd tracks circulating are usually from one-hit wonders. |
