You easily insult people. Opp made his submission backed it with receipt.
Did he says he is jobless? At least he is working n footing his bill. Does it mean he will be there forever. Its a progress.

Please learn to talk in public space.

For your information qualified nurses earn 2k in uk that's before taxes. Care workers earn a anywhere from 12 pounds to 14 pounds per hour.

That is the problem. You make it sound like she is a slave to the label. They have a contract between them not slave master relationship. I hope you know these contracts does not entail monthly salary like you have in a normal 8 to 5 job. The copyright of her music belongs to the label but she owns the intellectual property rights of the songs especially if they are her compositions or she got someone to compose for her. Besides that, the rights are shared 50-50.
You have to understand that there is a different between the label sending her on a show and she going on her own. Your stand is like saying she can't be allowed to sing the songs without the permission of her label. Does that make any sense? I don't think she charges as high as 15k dollars bro. That's 25m for one appearance. I don't think she charges as high as that. Also, you need to understand that as a music minister, you can be invited to sing in a church and then given honorarium. Are you saying she should share honourarium with the music label?
I don't get. You were being charged for a network you never used? How's that possible? If you bought a plan for 24 months, it is different from being billed for what you never used and I believe you can cancel such purchases anytime as long as you have not used it yet. The problem is that you did not cancel the plan you purchased.
Mercy Chinwo's case is different. What you are describing is like saying the network should charge you for using another SIM when you have an existing contract with them. That's what I'm pointing out that a contract of that nature cannot be exclusive except for already established brands like Sony and Universal records. And even those ones still have exemptions for their stars

They said can't cancel the contract if i want to cancel then i pay the whole 24 month fee at once... I drag n drag seeing it won't end well i had to pay.

Can you prove that she went on a show and got paid 10k dollars since you deal in proofs alone

Why should she pay the label for collabos not released on their label? I don't get that part. Can you expansiate pls


Its because they are on contract anf Untill their contract expires she belongs to the label. and all of her hit music copyright belongs to the label and as such the label own and manages it on 50/50% sharing formula basis.

Yes i have seen where mercy was asked to come to one east African countries for a 15k dollars just to sing.. She charges high...


We African only loves contract when it favours us.
When i first moved to Europe i got a sim card but this sim card had weak signals when i moved out from my apartment to a new one. Note on first apartments network was soo strong on new apartment i can only makes call no Internet.

I was paying the equivalent of 30,000 monthly and then i didn't have a job i was bringing money from Nigeria to pay my bills. I was job hunting and its doesn’t make sense i stay with the old network.

I pack the sim and got another network which is stable but now they charge me like 65k per month.

I thought i had moved on. But the other network kept pilling my bills and kept sending me bills to pay after 3 months of telling them i dont use their network. They told me am on 24 months contract with them. They disconnected the line and calculated the 20 months bills i only paid just 2 months and they forwarded the bill to debt recovery agent who came after me. It was then i realised i couldn't do anything rather than pay since i am still in the country otherwise they will charge to court and it will be on record. Most employers do checks if u av broken any agreement, law etc. Before employment.


What i should have done was to write to relevant authorities who will mandate the telecom to carry an audit then if found they will compensate me or give me a better option but i didn't know much about the law as a new commer.



Contract is not what they joke with in theses countries. This company reported me to various loan companies and destroy my credit profile

How does this prove she's not a gospel artist? This is just vendetta. I personally know so many gospel artiste who went on all these kind of shows and sang secular songs. You guys need to stop all these

If manager is what EezeTee was to Frank Edwards then it was Frank Edwards that helped him and not the other way round. But see how you guys turned it to look as if he produced Frank Edwards

And FYI Mercy Chinwo was a choir member in her church in Akwa Ibom in her youth days

The contract is exploitative. How come none of you is talking about the fact that he doesn't want her to do collabos with other artistes except he is in the loop. Why is he angry she did collabo with Nathaniel Bassey when the song was not released on his label. Does he have exclusive rights over her?

See ur brain? Is there any prove to her not allowed to collaborate with othet artist? Can u produce prove? I only engaged in proves not this person said this and that.
Then Genesis or root cause was witheld royalty. Why was it stopped? Mercy went on collaboration and took all the money 100%, went to churches and took all money 100%.
How come she refunded only 3500 to the boss as the proceed of all the collaboration she went?

Mercy charges over 10k dollars on international shows and event.

If she knows she is clean then let her submit her account for review.

This is the case on ground.... Any other gist like he hates this pastor etc are unproven

You are using facebook gist to form opinion. No wonder your moniker has gist inside. How are you sure the dude claimng that on facebook is not even more ignorant than your good self?

Frak Edwards is a product of Christ Embassy music label called LoveWorld Music Inc from which he left to start his own label. Even his Wikipedia page agrees with the above. So when was EezeeTee his manager? Can you give the date and the songs he released on EezeTee's label?

And you need to stop listening to VDM. That dude is just using trending news to catch cruise. He's as ignorant as the average Joe

Records are there not Facebook. She was never a gospel artist. It was eezee t that reposition her. Go and search all her videos before Nigerian idol to confirm.



There is a different between a label boss and a manager. Eezee t never signed rather he was frank Edwards manager

That is why you are the mumu
That you are the financier does not mean you own the artiste. Did you know the Mr Eazee before now? It takes a good artiste for a music label to blow. If you don't know that, then you know nothing. A music label with bad artistes will never blow.
When did EezeeT manage frank Edwards. Stop the lies pls.
So you mean all the artistes who left the record labels are greedy abi. Ok how are the labels doing without Dbanj and Cynthia Morgan now?

Use Google and search Frank Edwards manager in 2014.
Before then mercy was just a backup artist for eezee t concept and he groom mercy little by little before they entered contract.

Even before mercy went for Nigerian idol she was with eezee t as a backup n was relatively unknown.

To be frank mercy was never a gospel singer at first. She was trying to do circular music even the Nigerian idol she won it was mostly fela song she sang.
It was eezee that repositioned her.

You can see her dressing. It was mr eezee t and crew that draw her out of the world and brought her to Christian ministration

Your sense ends where mine begins

You were the knucklehead who asked why she didn't go to her family members to sponsor her. Simple question is whether she was not already a singer before EzeTee met her

That is zenith bank's problem. Don jazzy is free to call any amount he likes. The question is if anyone would have known Don Jazzy and his label I'd he did not produce talents. The music makes the label not the other way round
Tell Don Jazzy to enter studio make we see

And who told you Naira Marley wholly paid for the car. You lots don't know anything

I'm happy you were sensible to add "after his music went viral". You buttress my point. No music label will sign a musician with no prospects in the industry

That's why i called u mumu..
Any business idea without money dies or don't go far. They are called financier. And upcoming musicians look up to them to help finance their business. They are the investors who put their money on the line. Not only that they already have experience and structures on ground who knows how to bring the best out.

After dbanj left Marvin how many hits did he successfully bring out? What about Cynthia Morgan how many hit did she bring out? We can go on and on.

The Mr eezee t concept u are tackling have been in the business for long before mercy ever enter music. He has managed Frank Edwards successfully for years far back and some other big names in the industry.

If the record labels are so good, why don't they take one of their family members and make an artist?

Who do they go to look for artistes with talent

Just look at your claim for example. So Mercy took 7.5m for herself and came back to ezee and he still took her in then started cheating her out of her royalties.

Who told you labels fund artistes lifestyle and trips 100%? Which house have you seen owned by an artist who has not blown that was provided by the label?

As you dey vomit trash can you go and slave for another man to enjoy just because of a contract

What do u even know about entertainment world?

Ur talk is like as banks agree to fund dangote refinery why didn't the bank go to their families n fund them to own a refinery. Or why will Chelsea sign a player for heavy fee why they bring someone related to the owners
U see where ur sense end


If u don't know what publicity is all about. Zenith bank for example spend ₦2.3 billion for advertisement last year.



Don Jazzy, a renowned Nigerian music producer and CEO of Mavin Records, once disclosed that investing in a new artist can range from ₦50 million to ₦100 million within a year.https://newtelegraphng.com/it-costs-n50-to-n100m-signing-new-artist-don-jazzy/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

An example of PR boosting was when Naira marley helped Zinoleesky, acquired a brand new Chevrolet Camaro valued at approximately ₦22 million

On global stage
In 2018, Warner Bros. Records signed Lil Pump for $8 million after his song "Gucci Gang" went viral.

Or u think u just carry ur dry voice enter studio go sing? All are entertainment.. Its expensive

Oga having a label invest in you does not mean you shouldn't reap from your talents

In any decent society, any such terms will be voided
How can you take 100% royalty FCS

If they take 100% which goes to the artist?

From don jazzi to all they take 60/40.

Eezee concept with mercy Chinwo is 50/50%

If they think they can blow why they didn't invest in their careers. Like why them no sell their papa house, lands etx to invest.


Now a label comes in, then invest in u, buy expensive cars, buy expensive houses, fund ur trips outside just to boast ur PR. 100% FROM THEIR POCKET.
then he tells u that don't worry. Any income that comes in, take 50% why the company keep 50 for running n operation.
. Some times the investment fails ti bring any revenue.

.eezee concept said he knew mercy before she went for Nigerian idol. They all came out did everything together push her but immediately she won 7.5m that was the end he heard from her. But he moved on. Why didn't she use that 7 5 million plus other money she got to push her self since she believes in her self?

Why coming back to beg the label to splash money on her.


As u de de whine ur mouth. Can u bring 50 million to invest in someone who is not ur brother or relation, buys the person cars, rent house in bananas island then when the business grows in 20 years bringing 40 million yearly then the person start giving 2 million yearly

All these clowns defending rapacious music label bosses so not realise that most of the musical groups in this country from plantashun Bois to psquare broke up because of the greed of the label bosses.

Most of those labels are exploitative. They have led to the waste of so many talents. Mohbad is one who had to pay with his life out of their excesses.

If Nigeria was a sane society, how can you take 100% of a musician's royalties. Even big football brands such as Man utd or RM don't dare do that to their stars.

All such contracts are illegal. They are slavery and exploitative and should be cancelled

Most labels stick to their terms but most artest don't along the line.


When they are broke, they run to music labels to help them but as money flows in they realised label boss takes larger junk

Some will claim they don't know or read what they signed. Cynthia Morgan even signed her name to p square group then..

Nigerians are sentimental.

Mercy Chinwo was signed into a contract.. With 50/50 revenue formula.

2022/2023 royalty was paused why?
Mercy was going for event behind back take revenue 100%

She froze the label account. Arrest the boss for 9 days.

Collected over 270k US Dollars while the boss was in detention.

Only admit to collect just 3500 dollars. After all the collaboration n church programme she went

Boss said no, let them audit both accounts to cross check. Mercy no gree.

Mercy wants to even collect all music catalogue (including YouTube n all social accounts)

You guys have an over bloated impression about USA. USA is only as powerful as other power brokers in the world allow yhem.

USA has no powers to take over Gaza. They can try but they will regret it and go home with their tails between their legs.

This is outside UN security council.

Russian fought Ukraine and are now taking over their country. US will just ask zelenskyy to accept some terms with Russia. Or might ask him to stem down to allow negotiation with Russia. With Russia outside. Then China won't bite much they will use that to negotiate stands with Taiwan.

Let me be frank.. No western countries will oppose US by action they can show displeasure but they won't try to sanction US it will have devastating effect on their economy n protection from Russia will be weaken. Most EU countries are afraid of possible inversion by Russia. For example the UK are trying to expand their army so also other countries in EU. They are getting prepared for a possible war in 10 years time with Russia

The irony of Zionist a** kissers claiming that no Muslim countries want to accept Palestinians, meanwhile Jews have been expelled from 109 countries throughout history.

If Trump meant what he said neither Germany or UK or even China will stop him.. As for Russia they will negotiate using Ukraine

Last last UK with it's fragile economy will just follow US
