With no intension of tribalism. I want to talk about the pain of the minority tribes.
It is quite disheartening when you see the likes of Reminisce , Olamide and Phyno make music in their mother tongues, attaining fame and wealth. I am not against it. The things is that they aren't the most talented , they are just lucky to come from major tribes. Hence, they have enough audience.
Imagine, If I hit the recording studio to make a song in my dialect . I will be well understood by less than 3,000 people.
I may be the best rapper or singer. But without the audience I am nothing .
Other areas where the minority suffer are:.
1. Social media
2. Entertainment industry in general.

In conclusion, I want to say the minority suffer a lot of disadvantages .

Insults are welcomed .

This is why some of us are fighting for an end to this geographical expression called Nigeria.

I disagree with you. Edna ogoli na Isoko, The branama crooner was Urhobo . So many other examples. Everything na packaging.

Nigeria is a conglomerate of black africans joined together to satisfy the british selfish interest.

The essence of federelism with a written constitution is to protect the right of minority from the majority tribe,but its not working.

The best solution is to divide the 'weak' nation through a peaceful refrendom.

It's unfortunate how Nigeria is constituted. A country with 3 huge majorities and many Minorities. Someone born in any of the minorities is already disadvantaged at birth but that by no means doesn't mean they won't make it in life.

Naah i disagree OP it has nothing to do with language.Even if you sing in a less popular language, it can still make more sense than the songs in yoruba. I've listened to soo many songs i have no idea what the mcs are saying. Stromae is a good example
