Artiste of Yesteryear & present-Which category where concerned about the masses? by Medley(m): 6:37pm On Mar 14, 2016
Change is constant! Really? A case study of Nigeria has defiled that word at the moment. What has changed? Same leaders of yesteryear, Promises with no actual action to implement.

A look at the bandwagon of artist we have who should educate & inform the masses,will rather sing of how many ladies they have in their backyard & ranges of costly cars they have - compared to yesteryear where musicians sing and tell of decadance and roths in the society - in the long run educating the masses of what democracy ought to be and why the poor masses are suffering without help.

The next album coming out very soon may be shot at South Africa
and having large numbers of South Africa models dancing half unclad and paid huge sums, Only for the same album to be sold mostly in Nigeria.

What's the use to the society - zilch,nada. Back in the days the Nigerian environments where used, Money, Cars, and babes where not what the songs was all about.

At the end they(artist) only end up compounding the problem of our youths - because they want to get the money,cars,houses and 'babes' without no Job,no good roads, and no power supply.

So what's the essence of the flamboyant show of wealth When the people that buy your
songs are suffering. Is it that artiste of yesteryear where activist and freedom fighters and the paradigm shift as brought in bunch of selfish artiste that are only concerned about telling how their life has grown in bounds. The bunch of the blame may not go to the artist, since most
Nigerians will prefer to buy a song
produced in Kenya and having kenya models dancing,than one produced in Nigeria. It's not 'bad-belleism' as some may want to put it, But am Just pondering - what has changed?
