But was it really tribalism? Remember that it was a Yoruba man that gave Peter and Paul over 150 million naira for endorsement. Sometimes, the organizers don't believe your music is the best. Art is subjective. Its all about taste. I will tell you something. I don't like Psquare music (even though they are popular). And the reason is simply because I feel they just copied Usher Raymond's (an American) style - so if I can listen to the original why should I hear the photocopy? Meanwhile, Phyno, who I hardly understand a word of what he is singing, is one of my favorites because he is very ORIGINAL - an I dig his flow. Remember the same headies denied Olamide's (a hardcore Yoruba boy) YBNL many awards - is that also tribalism?

Charlesdock:
shut up jhor..... Why must you bring tribalism here again when we are trying to curb it out

emperorchedda:
I believe I responded to your fellow Afam with the exact statement I ought to give you now, broaden your intellect. I could be a kid, you never can tell but I'm a truth teller, detribalized (if that's a word), and very neutral.

Now dude do you know there are bunch of Yoruba people who weren't born before the war? Some were brought up in the east, some have igbo bloodline and some just don't care what tribe you belong to they just wanna be associated with you and what you have to offer.

The same goes to Igbos too. But if we keep hating on others because of the civil war in this 21st century where do you think we are progressing to. You see a yoruba a man today who has no hands in the civil war of 40 years bacl and feel like killing him because of the wickedness of Awolowo who he has never met, don't you think you are demented??

White and Black South Africans are living together today without so much hate (at least not public) but they were sworn enemies up until the early '90s

Even if due to the hate in some of my fellow igbos heart we can't move on from the civil war let's try not include tribalism in every single aspect of life!!! Today we igbos now despise Yorubas in the super eagles it's just ridiculous!

You may have yoruba family like you claimed for all I care but they are not family yet till you stop looking at them as sworn enemies (even the innocent ones)

Grow up man!

Merry Christmas. Show love to somebody from another tribe today. Good night

Why are you giving this issue ethnic coloration?


That was how some of you were calling headies, Yoruba and afonja award ceremony , despite the fact that phyno, flavor, illbliss, patoranking won awards in different categories

I gat huge love for phyno though, even more than Olamide sef

NIGHTMAREOO7:


Don't MIND Dem bro.. I'm only blaming phyno for even coming to d award whe he should hav stayed back.. Coz most of the Yoruba musicians stayed back.
His embarrassment was well planned by d organizers.

Afam4eva:

I really don't understand why you're explaining to me. I never said i agree with Psquare. And i don't now how Globacom endorsing them have anything to do with their comment about tribalism in Hip Hop awards. Are both concerns owned by one and the same person?

pazienza:
I think it's time Igbo musicians respected themselves, and leave headies for Yorubas and their ilks.

P square snubbed headies for years after that 2008 display of shame by the Yoruba organizers, and they yet went from glory to glory.

For the naive Igbos here talking trash, Peter is married to a Yoruba woman, yet he cried of Yoruba tribalism in that 2008 version.

This country is messed up, it's better each tribe and region serve themselves.

Godprotectigbo2:


Wat are u even saying...do u kW how much globacom gains from psqaure....do u know any marketing strategy......u think endosersment na by family...no ...is about wat u have

Mcowubaba:


U are a kid and this is my last reply to you on this topic.

You're obviously ignorant that it was actually Nigeria vs Igbo (Biafra) some 40 years back, so yes it is always Nigeria vs Igbo, up till now.
How many Igbos did Buhari appoint?
When Oba of Lagos told Igbos to jump inside lagoon, which Igbo King has made such tribal statements
Can't you see this administration is North and South West Vs Igbos
U think everything is well in Nigeria.
You better be Politically conscious!!

Your type is not welcomed in the East, you are actually the person who is giving Igbos bad name, keep asslicking ur Yoruba friends, don't defend your tribe.

How many times have u seen a Yoruba person here reprimanding a Yoruba bigot here , I'm here defending Igbos and you're talking shiit.
How old re you?

Na only get Yoruba friends.

I have Yoruba Cousins, nephews and other relatives through marriages not just friends.
I know about Yoruba people to an extent. As I am typing this comment, it is a Yoruba woman (my brother's mother inlaw) that is cooking our night food. She is in the East with us for Christmas.
Don't tell me shiit, I love Yoruba people so much, I am not even remotely a tribalist or a bigot. Yoruba people are part of my family, how can I hate my family

Yours is just Yoruba friends.
BTW
I said hypocrisy or tribalism was the reason that Yoruba guy supported Olamide.

Hypocrisy or Tribalism, it's definitely one of them, but he started responding through the tribalistic part, so he left me no choice than to respond in a Tribal manner, this was the part you saw and you started fuming up and down about how stupid Igbos are and how angelic Yoruba people are.

Afam4eva:

What has this secret you just revealed got to do with the topic at hand?

moghulis:


They should all respect themselves and boycott that useless yoloba headache award.

Imagine Eric Ikechukwu Ahiazu, aka Eric Hassani with his wonderfully crafted song “gentleman” wasn't given any award. This is a musician whose kind is hard to come by. But since the very fabric of the award is dyed with tribalism, one shouldn't be surprised that he wasn't presented wif any award.

At least he said than you. What's wrong with people? Na wa oooh.

P-SQUARE SAYS HIP HOP AWARD IS A SHAME
Psquare,one of Nigeria's most popular hip hop group have come out to describe their inability to pick an award at the
hip hop world award as a 'tribal' attack.The group were nominated in 5 different categories but ended up going home with nothing.
This afternoon, http://www.niyitabiti..com/ was at the home of the group and they voiced out their bitterness through Jude 'Engee'Okoye, their elder brother and manager. Jude said Ayo Animashun dissapointed them by making sure that only Yoruba won awards except for Ruggedman,Timaya and 2face Idibia.He alleged that 'Stylee' the song that won the best music video is a trash compared to the 'Do Me' video he did for Psquare.DJ TEE won the award because he shot it.He noted that DJ Tee is the technical director for the award and his wife is also a top official of HipTv, owned by the award organisers.In his words "That award should have been called Yoruba Hip Hop award"
He also alledged that Rugged Man's name was smuggled into the list at the last minute because the name was not on the original long list earlier published in newspapers or magazines.
Efforts to get the award organisers today proved abortive.An industry source who does want his name mentioned disclosed that Psquare should stop crying like babies.They should accept their fate, afterall in the past,they have carted home awards from the same HipHop World and nobody said they didn't deserve it.

If they can humiliate phyno DAT don't have problem with anybody like this ...I wonder wat will happen to others ....please every body should respect himself

Gaddafithe2nd:

P-square and their brothers Jude are crazy. When they bagged like 3 to 4 awards in the maiden edition for hiphop world award/headies they never tagged the award yoruba award. oh! why am I even wasting my time on them, the same brothers that stole a Ghanaian artiste song 'rokoto' after shoplifting it they came out with their useless 'bank alert'.

emperorchedda:


Nna okwa ima na oburo onye o'buna nwe ike kpa isi okwu?

Whether you think I'm from Ogun or Ogoni na you sabi but don't tag a neutral fellow a bigot just because your grand father that saw the civil war told you so

I was born and brought up in Lagos and made amazing Yoruba friends that my family now bond with theirs...people like you give igbo bad name and make detribalized yoruba folks think all igbos are against them, thereby making them put on their own tribal armour

The guy might have chosen to support Olamide instead of Phyno for other reasons apart from 'brother/tribe'

These days a yoruba man can't support another yoruba man against an Igbo man even though the youruba man did better, because igbo people will tag him tribal

Biko unu kusi udiri ihea

FisifunKododada:
I think the Igbos on this thread are right. And we Yorubas must apologize to them. Phyno, Ilbliss, Patoranking and Flavor won Headies awards because they Yoruba guys from Ogbomosho. Headies was wrong for not giving these awards to Igbos from Aba and Mbaise
