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?

Is Yemi Alade not half yoruba, half Igbo again? She even sings in Igbo language more than Yoruba language. Yes, she deserves the award, have you watched her stage performances? If you are talking about the most energetic female artiste/artistes in Nigeria it is Yemi Alade.

SirBunky85:
can u pls tell us what makes hedies lost its resect?

a lot of things are being questioned, ranging from their criteria for nominations to people feeling awards are not given to people who deserve it.. I didn't really follow up this year's Headies award but I learned some nominated names were removed & replaced from certain categories that was unprofessional..
then poor presentation, Wizkid won an award & the lady who called Wizkid as the winner checked the envelope bearing Wizkid's name & she said "Ojoro" before calling Wizkid.. would that happen in a foreign award show.!
The controversies surrounding Headies award is recently causing poor attendance..

Thatitan234:

Reminisce won best Rap album.
Phyno released his last album in 2016. And won an award same year.

A Nigerian man naed mc_akonuche Just took to his instagram account to say this, what are your Thoughts??

For d past 6 years iv been on radio iv come to realise DAT there is particularly a special type of segregation bw d Eastern Nigerian musicians n d westerners.. But with critical analysis, I noticed DAT d Easterners contributed so much to dia own problem.. Its very hard for Igbo artistes who has made it to support rising fellow artist .maybe bc d rising artists however don’t also support them.. Look at d sponsor’s of @the_headies ,not even one big man or company from d east,all sponsors r from Yoruba..why won’t d Igbo’s nt be segregated n nt given awards?? We make so much money n all in our mind is only business n nobody is thinking about improving entertainment in east just very few like SIR EMEKA OFFOR had in d past contributed to entertainment.

Look at d #12thheadies last nit..from d red carpet, no Igbo anchor, no Igbo presented an award, except Ebuka who of course is a Yoruba personality, no Igbo artist performed n no Igbo artist won an award in all categories. Even SONG OF D YEAR DAT was supposed to go to MAD OVER U BY @runtown was given to a Yoruba Artist.. I work on d radio n I call tell u DAT MAD OVER U received high air play from December 2016 wen it dropped till mid 2017 wen IF by DAVIDO came out..
But wot do I know? I’m just an ordinary OAP

With dis analysis, I’m finding it difficult to accept DAT #Headies is a Nigerian award..I feel its more of a YORUBA AWARD even though d Igbo’s contributed as d architect of their own problem n therefore I’m calling out d whole Igbo Artist to come out n support their up rising artists just like @davidoofficial is doing n let our rich Igbo men try n support entertainment… If u attack me on MY wall,be rest assured DAT u will be BLOCKED.. I JUST SAID MY MIND.. HAPPY SUNDAY!!!

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.

why not we an igbo rich man starts organising our own music awrrds in onitsha or aba?

what's going on here? and which one is headies again kwa?

This is stupidity, you don't earn award based on your tribe or ethnicity.

I am Igbo, but I must call a spade a spade.

When it comes to hip hop music entertainment in Nigeria, Yorubas are No. 1, when it comes to Movie, Igbos are No. 1.

When it comes to business and entrepreneurship, Igbos are No. 1, when it comes to white collar job, Yorubas are No. 1!

When it comes to football, Igbos are No. 1!

When it comes to internet tech startup, Yorubas are leading for now....

When it comes to kidnapping, Niger Delta and Igbos are No. 1.

When it comes to money ritual and ifa worship, Yorubas are No. 1!

When it comes to drug trafficking, Igbos top the chart!

When it comes to Yahoo and cybercrime, Yorubas are no 1!

When it comes to robbery, na draw draw!

When it comes to academics, Yorubas used to be No. 1 some years back but Igbos are gradually overtaking them.

When it comes to Terrorism and religious extremism, Hausa-Fulani are No. 1 no contender, so we all must learn to stay on our lane at all times!

kenex4ever:
if they give adekunle gold or Burnaby next rated at this stage will he accept it?

Check when wizkid n davido won their next rated, they were upcoming arts and they decided to give tecno when he has already gone global. You too reason am.
That's an insult not award.

Headies should be regarded as south west award and not nigerian. Whether wizkid sing or not them go find one award give Am to make him relevant.

No wonder Sola Fapson shout ojoro.

Other zones should b organizing awards for their people just as headies does n quit complaining.

Kenneth, so you are one of those spoiling Nigeria with this tribalism crap?
Did Nairaland or APC's victory do this to you or have you always been like this since university days?
Because I noticed ever since Buhari/APC won against the wishes of Igbo votes for the first time, tribalism has multiplied from the Eastern axis of Nigeria. Every single action in Nigeria, be it political, sports, entertainment, and even individual feats, has been x-rayed under the ethnicity microscope especially by Internet warriors.

My questions for you are:
1. Does Nigeria not have hundreds of tribes?
2. Do other tribes not have mouths to cry marginalisation?
3. Why does this attitude of playing the victim have to come from one tribe alone?
4. What does an appointment, an award, etc. add to your pocket if given to an Igbo person?
Why should you care if whoever gets it is probably as/more competent? Aren't we supposed to be more interested in getting results and making progress instead? Is Fashola for example not fixing roads all over Nigeria even though he's from Lagos?
Honestly, this whole thing has to stop if Nigeria must make progress in all areas of our life.

I get surprised when I see such debates online because it doesn't even occur to me that a certain tribe got more. It's when I come on Nairaland that the topics here make me realise that.
Nairaland has become the biggest promoter of tribalism in Nigeria by bringing controversial posts that divide us the more to front-page all for web traffic. Seun, please take note.

False. D Banj released his first album (No Long Thing) the same year he blew up, 2005. Please do your research.

Don't mind him, the same year Dbanj won the best promising act in Kora 2005. Some people will just come online without having facts.

Hanseel1:


Mad over you made more hits both in Nigeria and Africa as a whole than fia and if.

how many awards has mad over u won in africa?

CSTR1003:

You must not be an enthusiast of Nigerian musical tours on YouTube.

Tell me anybody that can command a crowd anywhere in Africa like patorankin apart from davido and wizkid?

Let us forget the Caribbean.

and If You Go Out Now, You Would Mix And Laugh With People Of Whom So Many Of Them Will Be Yoruba. Then Come Back Here Again And Belittle Them. How Miserable You Are!

If You Go Out Now, You Would Mix And Laugh With People Of Whom So Many Of Them Will Be Igbo that your fellow Yoruba man Awolowo murdered and starved to death of 3 million of their children, and you think they are happy with you? Hypocrites! If you dare reply me again, I deal with you with anger because 5 of my uncles were starved to death by Awolowo!

I don't know why people keep making irrelevant things important, nya mere all these Yoruba Yoruba dirty yorubas just noro ebe fa nor na kor nonsense, imagine one idiot is even comparing football with that trash called music award ehh o gini di? they feel that everything revolves around Lagos, nonsense ppl Chineke ga bu onu, another idiot is even saying that everywhere in enugu, it's only olamide, wizkid and davido songs that is playing can u imagine the nonsense?

lol, buh that draw draw own, no lane na, fight go still they, , and mind you, ritual;- hausas are no1

Maybe the problem of the igbos is they are not inclusive in nature this day an age, igbos still rarely sell land to non igbos and we say we are one. The igbos need to be less tribal and clannish and love would flow naturally
