Are Our Nigerian Artistes This Stingy?

Nigerian entertainment industry has really grown and many musical acts are ripping the benefits of their labour as it seems, because of the lavish lifestyles they exhibit.

Our Artistes are now being called more often than before for shows and endorsements and have been receiving lots of accolades from their fans and followers.

Not only do they perform in Nigeria, they have also spread their musical tentacles to Africa and across the oceans too, meaning, MORE MONEY IN THE BANK!

Wizkid buying a Porsche... crashing it and then buying another one, Dbanj wearing a $25000 suit for his DKM concert, Don Jazzy sipping on a $1.2M wine, P square chilling in a N400M mansion, M.I cruising in his new Bentley, 2Face taking his wedding anniversary to Dubai...there are so many examples we wouldn't cite in this blog post.

We are not trying to say they shouldn't enjoy their money got from years of hard work but here is the thing, a colleague of theirs, a popular Nigerian producer, OJB Jezreel is needing medical attention as a result of damaged kidneys.

According to OJB, he said the hospital were the transplant will be done needs $100,000 for the kidney transplant procedure to take place.

Before now, a popular Nollywood actress was sick and her Nollywood colleagues couldn't do much to assist her financially but she received medical attention as a result of the donation from the Government of Lagos state...Imagine that?!

Now, people are calling out to Artistes to help save OJB Jezreel and almost a week now, the so called successful artistes are finding hard to raise atleast N10M out of the N16M required for the procedure.

Some artistes have responded after lots of criticism from their fans while we are still waiting for the 'others' to respond.

At first, when I heard OJB needed the medical attention and N16M was required, I was like ''damn, its OJB...he has his fellow goons to help raise the money...that ain't no f**king problem''. However, we are still in shock that the medical procedure hasn't kicked off yet.

Recently, Juliet Ibrahim, although beautiful on the outside seems very dumb on the inside as she recently came out to say kidney transplant can't be more than $50,000, so directly or indirectly saying OJB and his team are just exaggerating the cost of the transplant. How dumb of a statement was that?

Anyways, I hope you artistes can learn to be more generous as we have helped and promoted you guys by attending your shows, buying your albums and giving you endorsements worth Millions.

But still, shout out to those who have already donated, the likes of Don Jazzy, Davido, P square, Iyanya...

Please help save OJB now because if he passes away, MAY THUNDER FIRE ANYBODY THAT DOES ANY OJB TRIBUTE SONG. Our 2cents
