Come 15th of February, 2016 the 58th Grammy award will be held at the staples center in Los Angeles, California. Once again the ceremony will not only recognize the best recordings but also honor compositions and artists of the eligibility year, which will run from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015.

A Grammy award which is mainly known as Gramophone award is the highest award which any artist of all caliber dreams of winning from hip hop to gospel. One begins to wonder why no indigenous Nigerian based artist (Musicians) haven’t won it, at least we have been nominated severally thanks to King Sunny Ade and Femi Kuti, although five Nigerians based abroad have won it and they are Chamillionaire, Sikiru, Sade Adu, Seal and Kelvin Olusola.



On the 7th of December when the nominees were rolled out, Nigerians as usual were disappointed just as none of their own was nominated, but again who will be nominated one begins to wonder, is it Olamide with Shakiti bobo or Harrysong with Reggae blues. (We all know that is not possible).

Many Nigerians draw up fallacious believes like Nigerian artist are not members of illuminati that is the backbone of our ordeals but we should know that many indigenous artist in Africa have won it, some of them are Miriam Makea
(1 Grammy), Wouter Keller Man (1 Grammy), Soweto Gospel choir (2 Grammy), Lady Smith Black Mambazzo (4 Grammy), all from South Africa, others are Tinariwen (1 Grammy), Ali Farka Toure (2 Grammy), both from Mali, Youssou N’Dour (1 Grammy), from Senegal and lastly the lady we all know Angelie Kidjo (2 Grammy’s ) from Benin Republic, one unique thing about these winners is that they sing with their local language to show that you mustn’t sing in English before you win the award, Angelie Kidjo was also nominated once again for next year Grammy, does that mean they are all members of illuminati confraternity (if at all it do exist).

Some sections of the music industry also draw up racist sentiments that Nigerians are discriminated againsst while they forget that the highest nominated artist in Grammy industry (Beyonce) is a black woman and also next years Biggest nominated artist (Kendrick Lamar) is also a Black man.

Until we Nigerians begins to appreciate vocals, talents and lyrics instead of beats and noise then we are far from being close to winning a Grammy, king sunny ade and the likes of kuti that got nominated was able to achieve that because of their uniqueness and originality, Artist like Waje, Asa, Timi Dakolo and many others are capable of doing it but our full support is what they need to push them higher, so that the
National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences will get to notice what we have as our brand as far as the music industry is concerned in Nigeria.
