OKAY!!!


Why would you waste your money on EME artists?!!

The only Nigerian acts that are worth seeing on stage remains Tuface & Duncan Mighty..

M.I and the Chocboy crew are also terrible on stage..

Sorry you got duped by ........

ogugua88: ^^^ Because they're the ones doing all the talking. Like I said, it's becoming apparent that Banky W and the rest knew that the shows would be cancelled, yet the three of them kept promoting the show. Banky W is the one who made the phone call. Banky W issued the apology. The three of them are as involved as anyone else.

Don't let anyone confuse you. The money goes to EME, company owned solely by Banky W. Without receiving the money, the artist doesn't confirm that they are coming. They obviously won't perform to one person in the audience. The way they measure this is by collecting the money in advance.

When your heart is not in something and you do it because of you are competing for fame or contract this is what happens. Lies! Fraud! Incompetence.

EME is solely owned by Banky W. Don't let anyone confuse you.

Sh'i't happens but life goes on.I'm not to defend these guys because it's your money that is involved but what I detest it accusing them of fraud simply because the show was cancelled due factors beyond their control.

Sure they would need to do a PR since they are the artists the fans know.I'm sure you will still blame them if they had kept mute also.

It's not fraud because they cancelled their show. It's fraud because they've refused to pay anyone back as of 2011. It's fraud because they kept pushing ticket sales when they were preparing a cancellation statement and an apology in the background.

@obowunmi, thanks for clarifying smiley

obowunmi: His show is in NYC/Minnesota sucked. It was soo horrible, tactless...and just gross. He was sweating like a pig on stage and his bald headed self, tries too hard to please his non-existent female fans.

Banky W is a fraud, a talentless and unprofessional being. He is a LIAR too, a LIAR. I know this guy personally and he is nothing to write home about.

I know he is prepping for his career in Nigerian politics with his "fake" and self promotional documentaries on nonexistent and delusional "change" coming to Nigeria..Nigerian youths worship him like his God.... He tried defrauding Bankole Omishore in DC/MD years ago.

Well, everyday for the thief one day for the owner. I'm not surprised.

Mods remove the guys name abeg, if this is an unfounded claim this statement is essentially slanderous

obowunmi: Before running back to Nigeria, Bankole Omishore was/is a credit card thief. His closest friend, Adeniyi Adeyemi was arrested for fraud, but FBI couldn't nail Bankole. I can assure you that he will be next.

Bankole Omishore is a thief and a petty credit thief. He steals for a living.

Not sure how he has gotten this far into Nigerian politics but Nigerian youths have to be weary of him. He too is a FRAUD and thief.

shocked seriously what did the guy do to you!!

Leave matter o! They are worshipped like gods by some Nigerians in the UK. Come and see how these girls (mostly dumb single mama lagos girls I must admit) throw themselves at these guys!

We get down to their music big time though; "we don't know what it means, but it gets the crowd going".

If you think it's the artists that will refund your money,I guess you'd have to wait till further notice.Sorry but I have to tell you even if you dont want to hear about the show organizers and promoters.

You guys don't know how to sue people and Watch èm beg you to drop the case o. If i were involved, woulda sued PMAN First, Banky W, and then the whole of E.M.E. Either way one of the sued must comply. Never be afraid to go to court because if you do you might likely get a huge number of sympathizers who would even bring down organisations to make sure you win or get heavily compensated. Never Say Never.

Guy! I think you should also contact the America Embassy in both Nigeria and the one in the States so that they will know how to deal with them. Either they will refund or rescheldue the show before they are allowed to stage any show in that country again.

Wow. Been following up on some nasty tweets about their tour on twitter. . . Its bad enough they cancelled last year, but to cancel again a year later, something dodgy must be going on.

This is a bit weird though..Don't you get refunded from POS (point of sale) of purchase if an event is cancelled? And if the promoters were selling tickets by themselves as well, why aren't people facing them rather than the artiste/ Label?

it can't be as simple as you buy a ticket and it goes straight into Banky W's account now, haba. I assume the promoters will be angling for a refund on their appearance fees/ adverts/promo expenses etc they paid to the label/artistes, but the fans who bought tickets would attempt to get refunds from the POS or promoters. And then if that fails take it to legal quarters, rather than running smear campaigns on social websites. Or was everything word of mouth and not contractual?

The promoter should be working with the label to refund people

People who paid the promoters cash got their refunds. People who paid online via EME's site or a site they put up have not received refunds.

It's a cut-throat business. All the 'God don bless me', I'm driving Range Rover and living in Lekki Phase 1 nonsense must be achieved/ maintained by any means necessary - seldom by genuine means. Let's not kid ourselves. No mercy for those who they 'swindled' - especially the swooning females. They reinforce the hype and the fake life these goons live for, so they should take it in their stride.

Well, I'm not a swooning female. I attend all shows by Africans, primarily Nigerians, as a funny means of patriotism. If you attend their shows, more artists will come.

@OP: I have no sympathy for you or anyone for that matter. You want American accent, well you got it: Banky W. Banky W was never talented in the first place. How he became an household name in Nigeria can only be explained by people like you willing to pay 100 bucks to go watch him and his 'cute face' and 'nice Americanized accent.'

Well, he has brought his American honed skills to Nigeria and mastered the difficult art of duping loose, gullible, impressionable female fans like yourself. Suck it up, it is a game and you lost. Stop whining and GTFOH.
