AngryNigerian:oh please! Whatever happened to artistes like Dare, Simi, Timi Dakolo, Waje, Asa and Bez.....it's not as difficult as you lot like to spread to find quality artistes in Nigeria. If the American White people Grammys have refused to acknowledge them because they only see Angelique, doesn't mean we do crap music. Angelique is the safe choice that they're used to Save for Wombolombo, Angelique is mostly not on the airwaves, not every white endorsed thing should be worshipped. 105 Likes 6 Shares |

She is good Nice am beginning to doubt you ooo, you promise us grammy since. Btw nigeria music industry might be doing well buh all this songs we hear everyday lack content for worldwide audience. They should release song with good lyrical content that will appeal to everyone around the world and at the same time ease the pressure on naira 6 Likes 1 Share |
