They did even before tekno phones came to Nigeria

CriticMaestro:
Na one of the zulezu dey mad

serious?

nairavsdollars:
Are they still alive? Owe u money. Better go back to your danfo business if music no pay u again

Its called Intellectual property.

buchasman:
serious?

Yup

safarigirl:
it is intellectual property theft, in saner climes, Tekno would be facing a law suit, so would Simi

Even the title of a song cannot just be snatched like that

You can use same title. Nobody carry title come from heaven. E.g

Hello by Eminen, Adele

Caro by wizkid, Dbanj, Davido

I thought as much. The first time I heard the song it sounded more like Danfo Drivers' song.

greatman247:
this one serious ooo. The hustle for more and relevance is real. Danfo drive move on. Anyone can sing Jogodo. The other day, sir Victor uwaifo call out Simi for singing Jerome and Jaywon for singing Jerome, mean those Jerome by both Simi and Jaywon don't even sound like that of Sir Victor Uwaifo's own.

Victor uwaifo's case 8s different. Teckno copied everything back to back.

greatman247:



Oga that's not intellectual property. Did you listen to Simi' s Jerome? And Sir Victor's own? Do they sound alike to start with? In any clime sir Victor don't have a good case, he can't certainly win, he will only end up ridicule himself. He should have sue and embarrass himself. Anyone can use the same title of your song. Except it has a trademark. Even in USA people use the same title that is a sane clime. So talk another thing.

Yada yada yada. Listen to Tekno's Jogodo and the said song by Danfo Driver then come edit this nonsense. And the issue here is not the title.

QuietHammer:

Wasn't talking about tekno's work. Agreed Tekno sounds much alike like that of Danfo Drivers truly and Tekno bleeped up though, he should sort for their permission first. But I was actually talking about Simi's Joromi vs Sir Victor Uwaifo's Joromi. They didn't sound alike in anyway. That's not intellectual property of Sir Victor Uwaifo. He doesn't have some right to the title Joromi anyone can title their work as Joromi unless he puts trademark on that name.

dominique:


There was actually a time a rumour was spreading about them that they have turned to armed robbery and got killed during one of their operations. They've been out of the spotlight for way too long, a lot of people actually believed the rumours

Rumour? You didn't see the rumour with your eyes

Xda59:

Agreed. This sound sure sound like that of Danfo drivers. And Tekno sure bleeped up on this one. He should take permission first. But some people just want to sue if you use same title as theirs, which will never stand. That's why i used sir Victor Uwaifo's work as an example. He claims Simi copied his work just because of the title. Then I listened to the songs they never sound alike at all. But he said he will not sue her though but she should have come to him first before using that title... I just weak for the man that time.

softwerk:

Children of nowadays... One spotted...

That is one of the zule zulu not danfoe drivers

Mutemenot:
I be think say one dey mad before

I was disappointed on hearing the song even though I'm a big fan of Tekno. He really goofed on this occasion. I expected better.

I thought tekno took permission from them because tekno's version is like a remix of the danfo drivers original version.

It's Almost the same thing.
If tekno didn't take permission, that means he messed up big time.

question is, did they copyright the song?

I doubt if Mountain Black and Mad melon sort permission before ripping of Don Carlos knock knock for there single Sensimilla. Listen to both songs..

Children of new school generation may not know them .

They were one of the street musicians from Ajegunle in those days when our music was still very crude :

U will hear sth like

Ayama danfo driver suo
Sebi u be danfo driver suo ( 2ce ) ... That's the chorus


Hope u are clear now

Not Jeromi . It's Joromi

Oga title does not matter. I have lived in many developed climes ok. I have told you where it matters, except it has trademark on it. Or it has element of original work in the new work. You don't just sue, you might get knocked in the end, if your work does not seem alike when probed.

50 Cent
Cheer up Fiddy … 50 Cent forced to change film title
50 Cent has been undone by one of Africa's greatest novelists, Chinua Achebe. The rapper's latest movie has been renamed ahead of its release, due to a conflict with Achebe's most famous work.

Things Fall Apart, published by Achebe in 1958, is Nigeria's most famous English-language novel. It has sold more than 8m copies worldwide. Unfortunately, 50 Cent was not aware of this. He spent much of 2010 shooting a film of the same name, the story of an American football player diagnosed with cancer. "It's a project that I wrote, produced and financed myself," he explained last year. Directed by Mario Van Peebles, it premiered at the Miami film festival in March and is expected to be released soon.

Unfortunately for Fiddy, his film will not keep its original title. After being contacted by Achebe's legal team, 50 Cent allegedly offered $1m to hold on to the title. Achebe, 80, took this as an insult. "The novel with the said title was initially produced in 1958 (that is 17 years before [50] was born)," replied his lawyers, according to Naijan. "[It is] listed as the most-read book in modern African literature, and won't be sold for even £1bn." The film has now been renamed to All Things Fall Apart.[/b]

Haba... tekno should know better nah... that is mad disrespectful and plagiarism to steal another artiste intellectual work.

Dang I drivers should sue for 15m. That is an appropriate charge and I know they will win.

You don't understand what greatman247 was saying.

'Things fall apart' is a trademark name. Until you trademark the name, anyone can use it.

I am not surprise because even Tecno as a mobile device na copy
