afam4eva:And yet would still be considered more of a 'global' language than igbo  |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by Afam4eva(m): 5:40pm On Mar 08, 2009 |
So, why are u saying Yoruba and Hausa are global and Igbo is not |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by Afam4eva(m): 5:43pm On Mar 08, 2009 |
Who and What determines which language is global? |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by Nobody: 5:47pm On Mar 08, 2009 |
afam4eva:Please, help me find where I ever stated that because I don't remember doing such  Although, If we are being honest with ourselves here, compared to Igbo, both Yoruba and Hausa are more recognised globally, that's just the way it is and I doubt getting the igbo music artists of naija to sing more in their native language rather than Yoruba will change that, I'm just saying  Not withstanding, Igbo is a beautiful language which I sincerely hope does not go 'extinct' which I can see that some people are fearing. |

As ruggedman said just becos one sings in yoruba doesn't mean you re a sell out, where igbo, yoruba , Hausa or anyother Nigerian language, the main thing is doing a song you and your people can identify with, just for future refer OJB isn't Igbo |

| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by khanye(m): 3:18pm On Mar 09, 2009 |
Dotman01: I no won talk say 95%, dem go dey talk say i dey exaggerate. Na why all those Igbo woman wey dey sing praise and worship song dey use yoruba? It's hard seeing Yoruba artist singing in Igbo. Dj zeez be Igbo boy but shey Fokasibe be igbo thing ni. if na for the market thing wey dem talk, shey na only yoruba dey 9ja ni. Walahi we get mouth like Obama  |

The last three posters just being silly now, sillier than Afam in fact. Afam is deluded and you last three are arrongant, y'all decide which is better. |

to me yoruba lang is easy as a.b.c.but yoruba lang is spoken in yoruba lands.no other place.ibos that use yoruba in songs are those that grow up in lag.or any other yoruba land.but these days,yoruba musicians are trying to inculcate ibo lang.into their songs cos they are trying to sound apealing to other listeners.but they end up puting only one word or two cos they cant pronounce the rest.nice said love nwantiti in ON MY WEDDING DAY.weird m.c put ibo in ijoya.d,banj was fabulous in his.but that was with the help of don jazzy and another ibo high life musician.these days,ibos are coming back to singing with ibo and leaving yoruba alone.kelly handsome never sang yoruba in his album.J MARTINS didn't.its left for us ibos to be cherishing a work done in our own language.timaya never pronounced yoruba in any song but he is the greatest now.nigga raw is a made star for those that said he's not.ONE HURTING TRUTH IS THAT IBO PRODUCE THE GREATEST NUMBER OF HIPHOP ARTISTS IN NIGERIA.i ain't tribalistic.save ur tribe if u want to.WE ARE THE GREATEST NO DOUBT. |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by chibic(m): 11:55am On Mar 11, 2009 |
point of correction to khanye.100%artists in non yoruba lands does not sing in yoruba.then,only 60% artists in yoruba land sing in yoruba.and yorubas rule only in yoruba lands like ekiti,ondo and others I don't know.yorubas don't rule in lagos.bear that in mind.Ibos in lag speak ibo to their brothers.yorubas speak theirs too.but ibos are too smart to understand other peoples language so quick.that's why when u speak ur language to an ibo.he will understand and reply.but yorubas only understand their language.hausa artists based in north does not sing in yoruba.ibos based in east does not sing in yoruba.only those based in lagos,but not all.all these are cos so many things are centered in lagos.over time.some headquarters and some other things will be moved to other places and will shall see if people will gravitate to lagos like before.it will be sooner than u think. |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by chibic(m): 12:06pm On Mar 11, 2009 |
ABAGWORO,OJB is a pure IBO.he was so proud to say it.90% deltas are pure Ibos,you know that.ASABA,the capital of delta is a very much ibo land.what's the general language their?is it urobo or another?is it cos river niger was inbetween.if u are from delta and not ibo.you shouldn't claim somebody that doesn't speak the same language with u. |

chibic: What's your point |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by chibic(m): 12:38pm On Mar 11, 2009 |

Oh boy chibic I just like wetin you talk jare, i dey your back |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by AfroCynic: 5:48pm On Mar 11, 2009 |
@Chibic, I do not understand your point, I only do standard or pidgin English, the hybrids tend to go over my head. @Afam, how weird is it that you asked a question and then spend 14 pages tryna prove yourself wrong, wow . Name 10 popular songs right now, then lets see how many have not Yoruba word or more in, the songs have to be circa '08-09. |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by doyin13(m): 1:03am On Mar 12, 2009 |
AfroCynic: Afrocynic. . . wetin be ur point sef So becos many refer to Yoruba language even in the most minimal way, they should be protestations as they are over the Igbo dominance of Nollywood. From Production to distribution to retail, Nollywood is fundamentally Igbo. A few parochial references in the music scene cannot compare. . . . |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by AfroCynic: 4:20am On Mar 12, 2009 |
doyin13: Lol, the question of Nollywood was not raised in this thread, Jonny! I am merely attempting to help Afam and his cohorts find a well reasoned answer ( I refer you to the first three pages of the thread) to the question he posed. Before you ask me what my point is, why don't you read the title of the thread and respond to that question? hmmn? as opposed to running your fingers to answer a question that you dreamed up, simply because you had a seemingly perfect answer in your head, yeye boy. RTO Tv, coming soon!!! |

Bleep afrocynic, you are just spewing bullocks. someone challenged u in the battle section get ur ugly ass there. |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by chibic(m): 11:05am On Mar 12, 2009 |
afronicic,u should't protest over ibos dorminance in nollywood.it's just cos ibos have abundant talents than yorubas.why don't you protest ibos dorminance in professional football also.how many yorubas are great players? |
| Re: Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba? by AfroCynic: 1:37pm On Mar 12, 2009 |
chibic: Chicbic, your ethnocentrism is so transparent and boring, go somewhere with Afam, you two will make a nice cuople. You obviously have a problem comprehending standard English, and since that is the case, I won't waste any more time on you. Ofokasibe, I hope you know what it is you are getting yourself in to, |
