- I gave you figures and facts already bro. The fact that this shows could top the charts in your countries and across the globe speaks volume.

- nope it wasn’t saddam,it was you.

- whatever the case maybe,Nigeria makes the bulk of that revenue. We are your biggest market. You go today,you loose. In a minute a Nigerian company is there filling up that space..

- once again, I already did that.

- your shows ain't charting in SA bru....see pics

- show me

-nope South Africa is DSTVs biggest market by far with over 9 million subscribers, Nigeria only has 1.5million....in total Dstv has 21 millions plus subscribers..... Nigeria thus doesn't even make up 10% of Nigeria's market

samorobo:


Even if you are Masai living in the most remote part of a rock, the names like davido,wizkid,burna boy list have swept across your ears. You can’t miss that if you live on planet earth. Look around,you are only making a fool of yourself. No one believes your crap.

dude the only name I recognised is wizkid... But only because people have mentioned him here, however I don't know how he looks like or even a single song, my social media reflects my interests.... Hence I don't see Nigerian artists ever... as in ever, not on my FB, not on instagram, not on twitter... Literally nowhere

samorobo:


Not racist just facts.
Africans are melanated. Now how is that racism?

who says I don't have melanin?

samorobo:


Everyone knows Nigerian artists, young, old, babies, you name it.

I don't so that disproves your point right there..... Me knowing a Nigerian artist is like asking a white dude from Wyoming if he know Nigerian artists........ I simply don't consume any.... And I mean as in 0 Nigerian media......

rvp20182:
Leave Nigerian music.Go to famous black Americans music.Most white Americans have never heard of them.Blacks are like 10 percent of US.90 percent white American have never heard of black music except very very few of them..My previous Americans work colleagues first heard of black Americans music in Kenya.People listen to different genre of music.Not everyone is fan of Nigeria afropop. White people listen to rock, country, all sort of genres..never pop or afropop

@samorobo @GeneralDae

samorobo:



Not listening to a music as a matter of personal preference is a different ball game entirely. The crux of the matter is that e en if you don’t fvck with a genre you must have heard of those spearheading that genre most especially when it’s a big deal. No white American in the U.S can tell me he or she has never heard of the name BEYONCÉ or Micheal Jackson. Except they’ve been in coma their entire life.

wizkid isn't Beyonce or Michael Jackson... Please never compare them again..... Ever

You are a joke. I showed you charts as at the time of release. Those were mainly charts in the first 1-2 weeks of release of those movie. I showed you SA,or would you say I fabricated it.

- that’s a futile endeavor.

- outside the original homeland being SA,we are DSTV biggest market. Plus they have more opportunities here than in SA,I.e growing subscribers(a market of 200m)

Exactly,you are starting to come out to the truth. My argument was never about you listening or consuming our contents cause personal preference differs. The crux of the matter was you saying you have never heard of any Nigerian artist. Now that’s a lie from the out of hell,so long as you live on this planet.
Just incase the allowed my point fly over your head,I was saying SAns can’t stop guzzling and dying over Nigerians contents,cos obviously it’s shows in the number. I won’t retract that statement cos it’s facts and the truth.

You are sick. Learn to understand an argument. Rvp claimed most-whites in the US have never listed to black music and doesn’t even know a single artist. I rebutted by showing him how stupid he sounds. So long as you have lived on planet earth,there is no way you will tell me you haven’t heard the name MJ or Beyonce.

- I did not see a South African chart bru... Only a Kenyan and US one

- yes its futile because I never said it that post doesn't exist, it was created in your head

- you are less than 10% of tge entire DSTV market..... Your entertainment industry needs DSTV much more than DSTV needs Nigeria

- uhm no. You leave we replace you in two seconds. You need all that bbnaija dollar and that’s why you are still hanging around.

jl115:

Let's get a couple of things straight.... 1. Our franchises are all over Nigeria and are actually well known, unlike Access bank which I've never heard of niether have I heard of Grobank.

2. The fact is DSTV is well known in Nigeria, that's the point, also Ive never seen BB Nigeria or real housewives in Lagos.... Sounds ret@rded if you ask me.

3. Our economy is $436 billion in 2022 not 300....maybe you missed the part where we rebased our GDP

4. Nigerias average growth rate over the last 10 years isn't even 2% I believe.... Even though your population is over 200mil

Bro.
Stop the Cap, you can’t claim to live in South Africa and not have heard of burna boy.

His song Last last is the second most streamed song on Spotify in South Africa.

It’s number 4 on your iTunes chart.

It’s the number one song on South Africa Apple Music chart.

It’s the number 4 song on your YouTube chart.

His new Album is the Number one album in your country.

You might not listen to his music, but claiming to have never heard of him is a huge lie.

I mean youve been on a nigeria platform for how many years now? 7?

SIGHHHH...you Waffas I swear! Nobody gives a FK about your prancing, capering, ululating 'stars'! What don't you get!?
For the life of me I CAN'T find a single solitary fk to give for the latest antics of Davido, Tiwa Savage, Wizkid or Burnaboy.
If a planeload of these MOFOS crashed in flames I wouldn't rejoice:" I'd go ohh fk, how terrible!", and continue with my day.
As would everyone else on this thread. What don't you get?
And people think I'm unkind calling you special needs niggas!

You should give a Bleep about them.

They are the biggest music star to ever come out of Africa.

And that’s a fact

Rubbish coming from a calf brain fellow..nobody gives a fck about your pained opinion here, and the best part of it is that you don't exist to even write or mention by any one here.

Not just that, they are changing the narrative. In the past, blacks in the U.K who were Africans attached themselves only to Carribean culture and hiphop. Now the Burnaboy's and Wizkid's of this world are becoming fast as global as the Caribbean superstars of the early 2000's and Afrobeats is big in the U.K and even in carribean countries presently.

One other good thing is that, majority of the Jaimacans or Caribbeans had to start from America to achieve that global success so that their Umbilical cord were tied to the U.S and the U.S indirectly sustained the carribean industry. But with the Nigerians it is different. Nigeria seem to also have active investments in their showbiz sectors such that before big artistes even visit the U.S, they are already rich and have toured Africa using Africa as a base.
Majority of these Artistes started in Lagos, made it in Lagos and have their kingdom in Lagos. So going to America and being presently signed by big American labels is just an added advantage for promotion and to break new grounds. If anything goes south there with their American labels, they can always restrategize again from Lagos.

Your artists are not as big as you think and this is a fact you'd readily acknowledge If you understood the racial divide that exists in the two countries you just mentioned. The native black entertainers themselves have to squeeze in a very confined space and thats why you'd hear of crossing over to white America mostly through collabos (with white artists in predominantly white genres) . In terms of streaming services and Radio/TV airplay, you're basically non existent in most of white America.

Below is a list of the best selling artists of all time which I hope will enlighten you. Take note of the genre they fall under.

You are a joke, like it or not tiktok and other social media app would be nothing and boring without black content and humor. How many blacks have you seen jump on white tiktok trends. Black content is the standard of entertainment on across any social media platform and even the media industry itself.

This is davido performing in Paris. Check the racial demography.

Tiktok and Instagram has now turned into album sales?

Saddamochieng00:


Tiktok and Instagram has now turned into album sales?

Even without Tiktok and Instagram, these artistes are making the numbers even in your countries' streaming platforms. Go on YouTube and check out the Burga video, yesterday it was the no 50 music video worldwide. Over 20 million views in 2 weeks. Ckay's love nwantiti is the most successful song ever in Africa (by an African based in Africa) on all streaming platforms in terms of numbers and only second to Jeruselema just on YouTube. What other evidence do you need in terms of numbers? Burnaboy and Ckay are invited to white comedy shows in America to perform. I also got information on how ckay's love nwantiti is played all over Europe and even restaurants, just like Jeruseleama was popping a year ago. Burnaboys new album is currently trending worldwide as we speak and the numbers are there to show for it.

We are speaking facts here and live issues not feelings or pure social media trends but measurable statistics. For instance, if we were discussing Olamide or Flavour here or even Asake ( currently dominating the Nigerian space), as good and popular as they are in Nigeria and Africa, it would be foolish to compare them with Burna Boy and say they are also world stars because the stats do not show that.

I just went through this in my previous post which you seem to have completely ignored. Come to me with album sales either physical or digital in North America and Europe.

Suck guy. This is the 21st century. No one really dwell on the primitive pattern of alb sales like in the 80’s . Clay love nwantiti currently has 281m view on YouTube,I can’t begin to imagine how much influence it has garnered on Spotify,Apple Music and the likes. That is all the stat you need.

See the non-black kid performing it’s,lyrics for lyrics at the voice show in the Belgium and see the way the judges and audiences are responding and singing alongside him.

Even gallivant Chennai community are hooked on it.

Also consider the fact that ckay's love nwantiti was largely undiscovered until September last year. When I saw it on YouTube at that time, it was just around 20 million views. So if the world had discovered it right from when it was out in 2020, it should have been over 500 million views already.

Nigeria music is doing great but it a stretch to imagine it can enter white music world... Michael Jackson n Beyonce had to literally turn white.Black American or carribean music is mostly listen to by other black.This huge improvement from when no black music could make it in 1960s to the racist entertainment industry.Blacks had to listen to white music in radio and Tv.The entertainment industry is segmented racially and is generally dominated by whites in Europe and US.Typical white person has never heard or seen black music because his radio,tv, clubs, friends will play and listen to white genres
