Nigeria, igbo fighting other tribes, Hausa fighting themselves, Yorubas looking on. Igbos clamouring for dominance, Hausas clamouring for power, Yorubas clamouring to be godfathers. I don't see a country moving forward Without unity. If I were to be the boss of that OAP, i would have fired him for that hate speech.
This is one of the dilemma being described by Adebayo Faleke; Tribalism, chauvinism and bigotry. May God help us.

Blacks dominate the music industry in the USA, whites dominate politics, sports. No one is complaining, everyone doing their thing and the country is progressing, but in my country, everything is related to tribalism..

kendrick93:
Mad over u was the biggest hit over any of davido's...
I'm still shocked that song didn't receive any award

Biggest hit really. If I tell say I hate you ooo...my gun na for your head...30 cutlass for your chest ooo.

Now I believe music is not Igbo calling. Leave music to Yorubas.

CSTR1003:



More people and relevant stakeholders are beginning to see the bigotry in that awards programme, and its relevance will keep dropping.

I give 5 years at most. It would become an egbe omo oduduwa show ignored by sensible people.

throughout last year in JOS na MAD over YOU.

agadez007:
What is this one talking about,what yoruba slangs,are Sean tizzle,skibii, not Yorubas,why have they not blown yet with all their yoruba slangs?

Mumu logic

He is telling you that the song has to have Yoruba elements to win the headies and yet some people are still arguing that the award is not bigoted.

agadez007:
Tekno has been releasing hits back to back but hr never got nominated for anything at all
Even Flavour who is great in Stage performance was robbed as the award was given to Yemi Alade
What do I know self?

That particular award really scare me,since Is not on voting category
Yemi ahead of flavour on stage performance
alright there is God ooo

Biodun1929:


Insult as usual. I didn't expect anything less.

You listed just three, that's cool, but can you compare that to the dozens of Yoruba musicians that are popping right now? Yoruba people dominate the music industry in Nigeria right now; that's a fact. I ain't saying this cos I am Yoruba, it is a fact. I won't go and say Yoruba dominate Nollywood when I know Igbos dominate in that industry... but you don't see me shouting marginalization. Some people are just better at some things than others. But it seems you guys have a superiority complex.

Below are the hottest musicians in Nigeria right now...

*Davido
*Wizkid
*Tekno
*Tiwa Savage
*Olamide
*Phyno
Kiss Daniel
*Simi
*Yemi Alade
*Small Doctor

How many of them are igbo, and how many are popping right now? What are the hottest songs in the country right now? Who sang them?

the way you guys hype small doctor eh,one would think he is that good
I only knew him when I got to Lagos, dude is a Fuji singer but using Afrobeat

After all de rubbish way him write de only truth na song of the year. #MAD OVER YOU

vickydevoka:
throughout last year in JOS na MAD over YOU.

Everywhere in Africa and Europe and the Caribbean.
Mad over you was rocking and the views are still increasing.
If not that davido was too hot, the runtown nigga deserves artist of the year.
But the fact that he could not even win one single category is just sick.

frankIzuchukwu:

have you seen Flavour perform on stage?

No Nigerian can Ever beat him in that but no Yemi alade that has nothing to offer at all won it
These people should at least fear God

sod09:
when tecno was nominated for next rated he had no album
up till now i dont think he still have one, the criteria for next rated is for upcoming or fast rising who dont have album yet

when did dbanj have his first album? Some artists don't do album early in their career.

Dbanj was among d top 3 artists in Nigeria without an album.

If na so them for give all these upcoming artist in Nigeria with 10 albums and no hit.

CSTR1003:

Are you high?

Have igbos dominated the BBN yearly? Is the ethnic dominance consistent?

And who even told you that your people didn't complain. You must have been blind not to see your fellow afonja empty heads complaining like idiots.

Even the number of housemates this year had far more yorubas who all fell along the way.

Besides, how can you compare BBN to a music Award?

It sucks to be Yoruba. It sucks to be you.

Why did you not talk about Nollywood and the Nigerian football team that has always been dominated by igbos and nobody complains?

Mind you I'm from the middlebelt, but this attitude you Igbos sometimes exhibit is really sickening.

CSTR1003:

even their own singers add Igbo to their songs now
Wizkid manya was 70% igbo
Tiwa savage add Igbo to her songs
Davido cant do without Igbo names in his songs,Obianuju,Ada and now chioma

hotwax:

Who is listening to Mad over you? That wack song?
So you thats your best song in your potopoto village.

Your foolishness is funny.
Go and listen to shits like reminisce and mayorkun.

Dem dey use headies collect money for bank.... Biko say sumtin else. my brother time for business.

Thatitan234:

Please don't think anything.
Igbos are known to play vivtim and cry foul everytime.
In 2016, 4 Igbo artists won 5 awards. Patoranking Illbliss Harrisong and phyno. Them no see that one.

Mad over you was hotter than FIA but no be today headies dey Rob person of award.
So it is anything but tribalism.

Meanwhile, Lagos is the center of entertainment. If you can't hit well in Lagos, you never hit.
They be shouting Zoro Zoro everywhere. How many people sabi Zoro for Lagos. E neva blow reach Maleek talkless Mayorkun. Shioor.

Igbos should just organize their own Music award and give people like Zoro Artist of the year.

lol! Please don't kill me with laugh.

agadez007:

No, she is the drummer for ogun. So she merits a headies.

Funny people.
They think they are smarter than others.

agadez007:
the way you guys hype small doctor eh,one would think he is that good

I'm not hyping him, I don't even listen to him, but his PENALTY song was one of the hottest songs last year... people are still jamming it till now. That is a fact... not personal opinion.

frankIzuchukwu:
No Runtown and pastoran you day high
