Why are Nigerian media so backward?

BRATISLAVA:


When did the truth become unprofessional?

If a little known American country singer came to Nigeria, would you be interested to know who among his crew didn't get a visa? Or would you be more interested in him if he were praised as the next best person taking the stage? Wouldn't he pay Nigerian press to report good things about him so that you'll buy his tickets?

One said facts, the other made a sensational reporting.

True to their form... how a tour could flop over crew members is shocking

WizkidNews:
American magazine 'VIBE' report:
The man that is taking Afrobeats around the world, comes to New York and sets the stage ablaze.

He left the Brooklyn crowd wanting for nothing in his effort of giving energy for three hours with his longtime sound selector, DJ Tunez. With Afrobeats becoming more and more of a dominant sound, Wizkid is currently embarked on his first full worldwide tour, hitting London as well. But the young king was focused on the show at hand with high energy and crowd engagement while they sang “Show Me The Money” word for word.

In a strong showing of his star power, Wizkid didn’t have any openers for his show. He did have an incredible list of celebrity guests that came to enjoy the night: Jidenna, Vic Mensa, King Promise, Paedae of R2Bees, Winnie Harlow, Swizz Beatz, Leomie Anderson, Joan Smalls, Nana Kwabena, KDDO (formally known as Kiddominant), LAX, and Tunji Balogun newly appointed CEO of Def Jam (responsible for Wizkid signing to RCA in 2016).

For the height of showmanship, the crowd lit their phones up during the performance of “Smile,” and the quick rendition of “Killing Me Softly”—which transitioned into “Blessed”—was epic. Starboy FC came out in full force with Nigerian flags waving high. Wiz rocked a slightly burnt rustic orange outfit styled by Karen Binns.

Meanwhile sahara reporters report:
Wizkid's show flops because the crew members including his personal stylist and bodyguard are held down in Lagos over their inability to secure a date for an interview at the US Embassy.

Aidejay:
so the sold out tickets and fully packed venues are a flop because wizkid didn't pay sahara reporters? How is that professionalism, is that what journalism has become.

lkillbrokehoes:
Are you saying that wizkid bribed American press to say good things about him?

BRATISLAVA:


Where was it stated that they gave the report because they weren't paid?

One is an investigative outlet, the other is a music promotion magazine. Go figure what each will publish.

pauladonis:


Both headlines are optimized to get clicks.

It's not about backwardness.

Clicks and traffic is what makes money for the media, they don't care if they're telling you the truth or not.

American audience wouldn't care if it's not something new or refreshing like the next best thing in Afropop.


Here in Nigeria, nobody gives a flying frock what genre of music a celeb is singing, but you bet they'd click if the news is about how the celeb got embarrassed or disappointed.

It's the same thing with Messi and Ronaldo. Any news about Ronaldo is always reported negatively because his fans are easy to get clickbaited/triggered and his haters want to see him fail.
Messi gets positive reports because his fans are very agreeable and his haters get triggered easily.


In the end, it is what it is.

Are you thinking that he did? How many Americans would know him without that hype? Where does the hype come from? How many Nigerians know country musicians from Texas? If they wanted to feature in a Nigerian magazine for music, how do you think it will happen when there's no market for it?

lkillbrokehoes:
It's obvious you like arguing, sorry I don't have the strength of typing epistle right now, we will argue about this some other time. cheers.
