Trying to say his degree is irrelevant in Nigeria is wrong. I for one enjoy his songs and want to see him improve. If his degree will aid his musical growth, why not? Then he still has his fan base which will keep him active. And not forgetting that there is still an international market outside Nigeria. Asa is doing a great job and he can even do better.

Ride on Timi.

WelconnectTrav1:



Bros, online or offline, he don get masters for song writing shikena.

aaronson:
Then you speaking for YOU, not Nigerians. Timi is your preference but I am emphasizing on the perception of the general Nigerian youth who has enriched artists such as wizkid, davido, iyanya, terryg and likes.

When they say women have fish brain and barely thinks I thought it was mere stereotype on the female folks but you actually...... ..... ......

BIGTinfotech:
Dude is good!

His song 'Great Nation' deserves to be Nigeria's National Anthem.

tianshie:
Berklee Online Extension Degree? With all due respect, this is a bullsh*t degree. Timi has an amazing voice, and did not need to do this to shore up his self-worth. We only need him to make a great album. And I believe he can.

Ganjafama:
Hmmn! That one na pure iliterate na.

Worst still, he forked out $13,041.00 to obtain a piece of paper not worth the stuff written on it. (https://online.berklee.edu/certificates/songwriting-master)

jimi4us:
ibadan to be precise

Donniefred:
I still put that song on repeat till this day!

aaronson:
Of what use is this degree when Nigerians don't appreciate written songs but random nonsense freestyle on a fast beat, Nigerians don't care about lyrics they just want to dance to anything with fast beat.


Ever since you have been listening to Iyanya, can you conclude he makes sense in his songs with lyrics like "From the couch to bed from the bed to the bedroom".

Actually I'm not speaking in the context of money or fame, I'm tryna state the irrelevance of his degree in the Nigerian ignorance infested society. I for one detest Nigeria songs, I have about 500 songs on my laptop and I can tell you this, you won't find ONE Nigeria song out of my over 500 songs.

NIGERIANS ARE DAFT. THIS POST EXEMPLIFIES IT AS FOLLOWS.

1. RIGHT THINKING, INTELLIGENT UNIVERSITY GRADUATES WOULD NEVER POST THEIR ACADEMIC DEGREES ONLINE - NOT ON NL.
2. BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC DOES NOT OFFER ONLINE POSTGRADUATE QUALIFICATIONS - DEFINITELY NOT IN SONGWRITING.
(EVIDENCE: https://online.berklee.edu/songwriting)
3. MASTER CLASSES/LESSONS OFFERED IN ARTS SUBJECT, MUSIC, PAINTING, DRAMA, ETC., ARE NOT MASTERS DEGREES.
4. MASTERS QUALIFICATIONS ARE AWARDED AS MASTER OF ARTS, MASTER OF SCIENCE, ETC, ETC. THE QUALIFICATION OBTAINED BY THIS GUY REQUIRES NO ENTRY REQUIREMENTS. REALLY? YES. HOW DO I KNOW? THIS IS THE PROGRAMME WEBSITE (https://online.berklee.edu/certificates/songwriting-master) ON THAT SITE, THIS IS WHAT THE COLLEGE SAYS TO AN ENQUIRER ON Nov 6, 2015 3:25pm "Hi Laura, thanks for your question! Our certificate programs and individual courses are open enrollment, so there is no admissions process." CHECK FOR YOURSELF. TO ENROL ON A MASTERS DEGREE YOU NEED A GOOD BACHELORS DEGREE.
5. ACROSS THE USA, YOU NEED 30-64 CREDIT HOURS TO EARN MA/MSc/MBA, MTh, MEd, ETC. THIS MASTER CERTIFICATE IS AWARDED FOR LESS THAN THE NATIONALLY AFFIRMED REQUIRED UNITS.
6. THIS GUY IS TRULY A DELUDED IMPOSTER.
7. HIS DELUSION HAS COST HIM $13,041.00 - THE COST OF THE PROGRAMME (https://online.berklee.edu/certificates/songwriting-master)
8. IF AFTER READING THIS YOU STILL FALL FOR IS SCAM, YOU ARE A FOOL.

It's music! I don't think there is much requirements to be asked about to study music. The school is prestigious with incredible talents as alumni and Timi joins that rank. Besides education is changing around the world.

EreluY:


Really? No prerequisite to study music? Thanks for displaying your ignorance. Your statement smacks of argumentatum ignoramus. Music is one subject that you can't skip or jump hoops or loops. Did you ever go university - one with a music department? People take courses from other departments e.g. Biology students taking courses in biochemistry or mass comm students taking courses in english or drama. You won't find anyone (and I mean anyone) taking courses from music because it is a technical subject. Yes you don't need to study music to be pop musician, you need excellent knowledge and understanding of music theory and practical to be a classical music artiste. You can never be admitted to music programmes in a reputable college or university without meeting the entry requirements.

We still have so many good Nigerian songs. Even in America, there are still so many crappy wack singers, so many. it is only the good songs from outside Nigeria that you got to hear of. most of those good songs come from an album full of junk. same for Nigerian artistes too. I have a very good ear for music, I have up to 7,000 songs on my laptop and I have listened to songs from people like Don Williams (10 albums), Barry white, Edith Paif, Cher, Barbara Streisand, Ozzy Osborne, Celine D, Sunny Ade, Osadebe, Ebenezer Obey, Sir Warrior, Fela, Femi, Seun, Gorillaz, Daft Punk, Chris Brown, Dj Tiesto, Greg Issacs, Bob Nesta Marley, Enya (every album) , Dave Koz, AbbA, Mary McKee, Dolly P, GreenDay, TuPac, Mode9, Asa, Onyeka, Goldie, FlavaFlav, Big Daddy Kane, U2, Aerosmith, Rakim, KRS1, Angelique Kidjo, Sarah Brightman, Katherine Jenkins, Andrea Bocelli

and Hundreds of others I need not mention but if u have seen the list of people I mentioned then you will know that my ears have really travelled when it comes to music. even these people I mentioned have some very crappy songs, only the SWEET ones got popular.

We have real talented singers in our Blessed Nigeria, even with all the yeye songs that are coming out, our talent base is very good.

I believe the manner in which you judged the degree was entirely based on the title "online". You didn't pay any regards to content of the program and its quality. The usual stereotypical hasty judgmental type.

tianshie:


Okay. Two quick things. I live in America & I'm in academia. Online degrees are about as useful as horse piss. Nothing beats the actual experience of a face to face encounter with a professor in a classroom, and the useful interaction with your classmates. Take into account pop quizzes. Actual class participation for credit. Opportunities for extra credit. Consultation with a professor during office hours. I could go on. An online degree is basically a fraud.

As for calling me a ****(whatever you wrote up there), I have proven that you're ignorant, one of those vacuum-heads who fall on their dusty corner-cafe computers, put down their meth pipes, and go on a rant.
