Nigerian singer, Eniola Akinbo, better known as Niyola, has opened up on why she left Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) headed by Banky W, IgbereTV reports.

Niyola, in a recent chat with Chude Jideonwo, faulted the defunct record label for marketing her wrongly because of their business strategy.

According to her, “When a female artiste wants to do music, the first thing any man will think of as a businessman is being sexy. I’m sexy, I’m smart, I love God, but it is also important to find a person or people who understand that.

I think that to be fair on the label, a lot of times, they just didn’t see it, they are businessman and did things as far their knowledge carried them…I should have been marketed as who I was and not just as a girl that is pretty and that can sing.

Leaving EME wasn’t a happy event. It was not happy in the sense that when you invest time, your blood and all into something, you want to see it do what it’s expected to do.

It was a great time being in EME, I’m not going to lie but I want to believe that it served its purpose. I was saying to someone yesterday that, not everybody is meant to, in the Nigerian term ‘blow’

If you’re supposed to appeal to a hundred people, if your circle of influence is within 10 people, you will not exceed that, but if your influence is supposed to impact these 10 people, then that’s what you should focus on. It’s not everybody that’s meant to appeal to everybody. And so, I feel like being on EME helped me to realize that.”

Aswearugud, I don't know this girl

VIPERVENOM:
Trust me. She doesn't know you too

Her loss then.

The last I heard of her was eleven years ago. If she followed their plan she would have enjoyed a few years of fame and not the on and off again epileptic popularity which came her way. She’s still pretty, though, I love her feline-esque facial structure.

Damnnn niggar
Isoright

Niyola. Love you bby

Apart from the sexy way what does the female gender do to stay relevant in the entertainment industry?

She's right!

she refused to conform into the fast failing moral standards characterizing the music industry!

music videos paraded women as cheap objects of mere sexual gratification. .

it takes a lot to stand out!

Bless you LADY!

And so

Life! She was at EME with Wizkid, Skales and Shaydee. Only Wizkid became big out of of the lot

Funny enough Banky W the founder of the label wasn't an EME artiste himself

In the Entertainment world, A female Artiste has to ooze some Sex appeal..
E.g Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade and even the current Ayra Starr!
The Babe has to show us some Boobs and Yanch!

So I basically Can't blame Mr Banky W..

be themselves, the world will adjust, however slow the process is!

Simi is doing well. .

me too

Tems didn't do all dt. I guess dts why no Nigerian label signed her. She was releasing her music independently.

Good thing she got the biggest African collaboration ever and was heard abroad, now she is signed to WizKids international label RCA. Those international sign up bonuses are fat and in $. She was true to herself and laughed last.

It's nobody Fault!

Naturally, Humans love sex or sex-related things! We only know How to Pretend!

So any serious Female Artiste or Media personality who wants to Stay in the Game has to be sensual or Show her body parts, small..
E.g Tiwa Savage, Toke Makinwa, Nengi and Mercy Eke of Bbnaija,

It's a simple Stuff!

not necessary

Okay.
