I am so laughing. To the Americans: 'who gives a fvuck if there is peace in the Niger Delta when there is ghana, sao tome, and a few other oil discovery nations like sierra,liberia etc'. Jona , no time if niger delta is at peace or not cause it won't be the Americans that will suffer it . Afterall, countries like Angola who were having oil went into civil crises. Jona, you need to think very well. No make me suffer for a country I have made a solemn pledge for.

I really do have problems with israel who are the ones helping us monitor our cyberspace. I know this guys are good but they have no clear interest with africans. A country built by refugees but they do not want refugees in their country . Their prime minister once said that ' african migrants are a threat to their economy and security ' . My point is , I hate countries who hates us and I see no reason why we should do business with them of any kind.especially when it comes to be the ones who will be in charge of the monitoring group of our cyber space. God forgive me but I hate Israel.

oya , let us ask al jazeera to send in their journalist to give insight of the african vodoo and how money is been pulled out through the use of human body parts. At OP, nice question but i do not know the answer.

The question is WHEN WILL THEY BECOMING TO INVEST FULLY?

Do you know that : No matter how broke the Abacha family are, they can never be as poor as Dangote !

To hell with our runaway brothers from africa(black americans), they come to talk negatives about the african music but in reality they are the africans. Well, do not want to talk abt that. I mean wat songs do they sing? I am sick and tired of dem keep rapping about guns, fvuck, beaches and crack . Omo, fvuck dem niggers up in yankee !!!

It saddens me to say this, Nigeria is indeed on the path of becoming a failed state. I say this because a system where govt has no control over its people, a system where the people provide for everything for themselves makes Nigeria become a failed state.

true talk. Guys like kswitch is understanding becos we all know he did his studies in Ghana. Guys like danny young , don't know why he switched to azonto style of music but it has not helped him-( My opinion)

mikeapollo: The truth hurts, especially if it is the bitter truth.This IK guy must have been a keen follower of music trends between Ghana and Nigeria

I have been saying this for almost 2 years now, and people did not believe me. Infact, I wanted to post a thread on the same topic!

Most of what young,so-caled Afro-pop Nigerian musicians are playing now is patterned after the Ghana Hiplife music (with lots of Azonto-like beats/rhythm). Only a few Nigerian Afro-pop musicians e.g. PSquare, had been original in recent years.

Any keen and unbiased follower of Nigerian and Ghana music from the 90s would see this trend clearly.
Let us think back to Silverbirds(STV)' Music Africa in the early 2000s and compare the type of songs/music from Ghana and Nigeria. At that time, Ghanaians had already created and playing their Afro-pop/ Hiplife music which is basically up-tempo highlife mixed with rap. In those days, Nigerian musicians were playing R&B....Check the list....Tuface, Eedris,Styl-Plus etc were all playing the so called R&B which was not as danceable. But the Ghanaian musicians had their own indigenous creation of Hiplife(their version of Afro-pop) music which was created/pioneered by REGGIE ROCKSTONE in the early 90s with other musicians like Obour, Obrafour, Praye, 4x4, K.K Fosu(who Olamide mentioned in his 'Bend Down Low'' Azonto dance album) etc

I used to visit Ghana then and I realised a contradiction between the Nigerian and Ghanaian music and film industries. While Nigerian films dominated their TV houses and video clubs, Ghana Hip-life( their self-styled Afro-Pop) dominated all their dance clubs and dance parties. You would never hear a single foreign music at their parties or occassions. Their Hiplife was rock solid for dancehall and parties.
On the contrary, Nigerian club houses were still dominated by foreign songs and Nigerian local music were not rocking our local parties/club houses unlike their Ghanaian counterparts. The reason for this is that the Ghana Hiplife has a faster tempo (more danceable) than the R&B of Nigerian musicians of that era.

The recent influence of Ghana's Hip-Life music in Nigeria started when Tony Tetuila went into a collabo with TicTac and they produced 'Fefe Ne Fe'.
The followed other Ghanaian groups like VIP who had a collabo with Tuface. Then came the collabo between Wande Cole in the song 'Allow me to kiss your hand'

But the emergence of PSquare and their beautyful songs changed the scenario and signalled the emergence of huge popularity of Nigerian songs in Ghana because PSquare were creative and some of their songs had this 'High-life; kind of effect, and Highlife music is very popular in Ghana.

But the heavy percussions of the Hiplife music and its very danceable rhtyhms and beats made it more attractive to dancers and party goers than our fake R&B. I could remember on STV's Music Africa. Ghanaian songs were more dance-inducing than Tuface's African Queen or any other Nigerian songs e.g Eederis or Style Plue or any other.

Soon, the Ghanaians added the crazy and fun-filled Azonto dance and the dance moves were patterned after the tempo of their Hiplife (Afro Pop) music. The effect on the music scene was too much and Nigerian musicians just decided to join!
The emergence of good Ghanaian rappers like Sarkodie and Guru and some onf their innovations and creative beats has also influenced a lot of Nigerian musicians

Check these trends;

Iyanya: The first album he released after winning MTN Project Fame was purely an R&B album which was not very successful commercially. But right now, just listen to his songs....he has jumped on the Ghanaian Hiplife style of music which rocks very well in parties. Infact, a lot of the clips he showed in the video of 'Kukere' are videos of Ghanaians dancing Azonto music which he downloaded from youtube e.g the small boy dancing

Omawumi: Her Bottom Belle album is an extraction from the Ghana Hiplife style.

Eedris: Even he himself has joined in singing the fast tempo beats of Hiplife/Afro Pop

Duncan Mighty; His songs are pure immitation of Ghana's Hiplife. Infact he featured Ghanaian rappers and the type/style of music are clearly new to Nigeria

Olamide: His 'Bend-Down Low' is clearly an Azonto song and he even acknowledged the Ghana influence in the song by mentioning some Ghanaian slangs and even the name of a musician K.K. Fosu. Remember. that song is different from his usual style which is rap.

J.Martins; He sings mostly highlife, but he is gradually infusing the Hiplife style into his music now

May-D: He jumped on the Azonto train without delay. His 2 singles in the market are purely Azonto/Hiplife songs and they are doing well

Timaya; He has joined in the Azonto/Hiplife craze.

D-Banj; He even featured the white guy that danced Azonto (after dancing with his Ghanaian friends on youtube)

Ruggedman/Terry G; Their latest works show a lot of influence on their music by Ghanaian musicians like Guru and Sarkodie.
Infact their beats are now tailored after Sarkodie's style

Davido; Compare his past works to his lastes songs....you would see the clear influence of Azonto on his songs

PSquare: They are preparing to join the Azonto craze (forget Alongo for now). The beats/rhythm of their song for Glo 'UNLIMITED' is a pure immitation of Sarkodie's beats.

.....the list goes on and on.

It is interesting to note that the latest music style/works of these guys are quite different from what they used to deliver just a few years ago. And the best hits in Nigerian music today are songs that are patterned after the Ghana's Azonto dance...e.g Iyanya, May-D, Olamide, Davido, Wizkid, etc


It should be noted that Nigeria and Ghana have always influenced and learned from each other. Ghana had greater influence on Nigeria in the early days up to the 70s. Nigeria had more influences from the 80s.
In the television/film industry, Nigeria seem to have had greater influence. Nigerian films are vitually in every village in Ghana, and they are preferred to Ghanaian films
But Ghana seems to have had greater influence on Nigeria in music. Highlife music came to Nigeria from Ghana and most of the best Nigerian musicians had their roots in Highlife....they either had Ghanaians in their bands or traveled to learn the act in Ghana. Infact there was a time when Ghanaian musicians were the best in West Africa e.g Ramblers Band and Osibisa, ET Mensah etc

Infact Fela was not a force to be reckoned with in Nigeria music (Highlife) until he traveled to Ghana where he lived for years and learned to master the real act of music. That was where Fela got the name 'AFRO BEAT'. He changed his style of music to Afrobeat while he was in Ghana and became an instant hit when he returned to Nigeria. He even brought some big and tall Ghanaian royal drums(which are played for kings) and he learnt how to beat the drums personally.

Interestingly, Nigerian musicians break higher grounds than their Ghanaian counterparts because of 2 reasons;

1. More Nigerian musicians sing in English (or Pidgin English) while Ghanaians sing mostly in their local languages....hence Nigeria songs tend to reach more fans
2. Nigeria has a bigger popluation, which translates to relatively more fan base and economic success.

It is not an offence or crime to be influenced by a neigbhbouring country. But we should also strive to create something that every keen follower can identify with us. Nigerian musicians shoudl also do some deep thinkng and bring out something that can rule the world. We have had series of dance styles/name like Alanta, Yahoozee, Galala etc. but s single Azonto from Ghana has had more impact globally in just a few yesrs.

God Bless Nigeria, God Bless Ghana!

boss you have said it all, infact I had to give you a like. You had said what we all need to be told . The truth is bitter . Like you said, its not a crime for we to influence our neighbour countries music but I can also make out my list on some ghanian music which has copied or emulated our style of music but due to the fact I am on my mobile, I cannot elabore perfectly by paragraphing .

I believe you should know guys like ruff and smooth, what will you say about their style of music ? That's completely Nigerian style.

There is this ghanian artist that sang this song 'I don kolo' ? But I cannot remember their names. The truth about this ghanian artiste is that they copy our music by putting our pidgin english words when half of the population of ghana does not know what 'I don kolo 'means .

Boko-Haram Is Not An Islamic Organisation – Babangida Aliyu , but they want to make the country become Islamic country

The dogs needs to be sent to prison ,sorry I meant 'the pound'. Evidence shows that the girl was with a pie and not a weapon, so why should the dog come attacking with its weapon of destruction such as the teeth .the dogs are guilty of murder for innocently killing a child, a female unarmed child for that matter.

Conquistador: there's an agreement which spells out everyting,including selling price.of course d gas is being sold at international price.

the gas is not sold at international price. They are subsidised. ECOWAS price differs from International price . If your papa no dey work for govt ,don't talk on wat u don't know.

This thread is filled with english errors and jokers! You all are making me laugh. Nairaland , a home of clowns .

u cant cheat nature. no matter how long or short the distance will be. once your body is tired, its needs rest. after rest, you get energy .. and once the journey is boring , you fit sleep for road. because u go tire as you keep seeing the green forest vegetaion of nigeria. if you are in the north, na sahel savannah u go dey see. this makes your eyes feel sleepy.

I was scared when i first read the title but when i read the body of the message , i sighed. because, the people of North Korea worship those past leader (Kim Il-sung) and present leader which they call him ' FATHER' .

if you ask a N.korean child or children to sing for them, they sing praises song of and about their FATHER i.e the past leader (Kim Il-sung).
they are all brainwashed that their Father has always been a better person for them. Everywhere you go , there is the picture of the past leader 'father' in schools, hotels, malls, newspaper even if it is in church or mosque, it is there.

they dont play with such man. a newspaper can take several pictures of him on the entire page(s) without much information. in fact the guy is seen as the god.


ps: I want you to understand that i have met with the terms and agreement of Nairaland. I am not here to create any offensive words about Islam or any religion even if its the religion of the north korea which is looked upon as the leader or god 'Kim Il-sung', i still respect that.

Congrats for getting free entry visa to various countries.

Ifeconwaba: Fellow nairalanders this has bothered me alot for the past one year now, the way little little children of nowadays claim to be cultist shouting aroo aroo when the have not seen nothing in life. And i ask what is the remedy to this menace. Air ur views

my remedy would be for you to report the matter to police. Cultism cannot be condoned .if they are shouting aroo aroo and you have solid evidence to back it , go to the police cause I do not know of any children shouting 'aroo arooo' not where I live in.
