Honestly, growing up in the 80's was lit. Entertainment was fun. The music was great! Now all we got are just a bunch of no talent having muthafuckaz who just entered the art not for the love art but because they wanna be famous.
Here's how we gonna do it...

F**k Davido!
F**k Burna Boy!!
F**k Asake!!!
F**k the current Nigerian Entertainment scene as an industry!!
And if you're down with the current Afrobeats trend...


F**K You too!!

This is Nigeria, as a musician (especially) nobody gives a fck about you because your music no they enticing to them (you no dy show nyash and breast).
But play davido or aseke video when everybody naked and watch Nigerians sing and jump in excitement.

Happy birthday.
People like songs even before the videos are out. Abeg, step aside with the cap. There are meaningful songs on YouTube with 100s of millions of views.

Fond memories of the yesteryears. Evi Edna was married to her then producer Emma Ogosi.

Heard Evi is now based in France.

This woman was one of the earlier generation of Nigerian reggae artists I became acquinted with during the early days of my childhood.

She was such a good reggae music singer woman and artist competing in a budding male-dominated field with the likes of the legendary Majek ( "the Rainmaker" ) Fashek, Ras Kimono, Maxwell Udoh, Blackky etc. My favourite track is the "Happy Birthday"


Ahhh, As I was reading this topic I was singing one of her hit song

grin I feel your pain sir. We are on the same page. Nostalgic moments back then I tell you.

Beremx:
I also feel his pain. Nostalgic memories can never be erased. If it's not music from the 80s and 90s, I am not listening
Listen to Gospel and Reggae music was a great time hobby for me in the 1980-90s hence I came across this beautiful amazon of reggae music then.

She reminds of those days when musical lyrics made sense.....

Not these days when get rich quick artistes jump into the studio with pointless lyrics accompanied with killer beats.

The age difference was a major problem, there was a 24 years gap between her and Emma Ogosi who was an airforce officer. He was alway jealous and suspicious of her and beat her sometimes to the point of unconsciousness. I think he saw her as his investment and didnt want her to be lured away. She was 22 when they got married and he was already in his mid 40s. He was a great musician and producer, he was the one that gave her the fame but she had to chose between fame and her life, she chose the later.
