The entertainers are a product of their environment.

And instead of complaining, support good things, good people, and create solutions.

Two02:
Honestly the entertainment industry has suceeded in promoting unhealthy societal values from drugs and nudity to internet fraud. Even artistes who claim to teach societal value and emancipation from mental slavery swith their lyrics still lead an unhealthy lifestyle. Next in entertainment industry is the comedy industry it's no longer comedy nowadays but an avenue to sexualize themselves.

Comedies no longer make people laugh but creates an avenue for perverted human beings to satisfy their sexual curiosity. Artistes now release sex tapes to promote their artistry. The music and comedry industry has been infiltrated by talentless individuals who now claim to be musicians and comedians to create avenue to spend and clean their dirty money without fear of anti grafts agencies.

The entertainment industry is plagued with mediocrity, it no longer celebrate Good talent and artistry, but mediocrity, moral and sexual immorality.

@ bolded, u mean like tiwa savage?

Most Nigeria music are not airworthy trash from A to Z. The rate of menace its has cause in our society is on a high side.

Hmmm

We need more of this guy, social and moral critics who would make critiques of trends in the society so that people, especially the youth, would be steered back to normalcy.

You're right! Go and study every hit track of Olamide. You will be shocked at the decline in decency that those songs portend. While the average youth with vacuous minds won't recognize the trend, a more ponderous individual would notice that the above mentioned artist uses his songs to influence the mindset of his fans by planting subliminal messages about social vices. For example, Olamide boasted of being raised by the street and before you know it, every youth, including those who went to Corona, began talking about being raised on the street, as if the home no longer serves as a safe haven for all round development and success. He sang about having goons who had his back and defended him with "bajinatu" (guns). This was a subliminal messages encouraging gangsterism and street cultism. Before we knew it, every youth, began addressing their friends as goons, accepted being called goons and prided themselves in it while seemingly oblivious to the true meaning of the word. All because Olamide sang about it. The "Bashira Ketan" song was designed to make rape and sexual vices a norm. "Ọmọ Abule Sowo" was an eulogy to land grabbers. We can continue on and on about Olamide's songs and we will continue to identify the subliminal message on each theme. What about "Ilefo Illuminati" ( The ascension of Illuminati)? What do you think he was trying to say? Now we have the latest set of vicious lyrics from him when he did "collabo" with Portable. People of all age range love singing it without realizing that the minds of the next generation have been molded to believe that wickedness and lack of empathy is cool.

Throwin' morality outta the window, I'll say Yahoo helped curb robbery and savage cultist clashes. Now, all 'em "rugged" are busy making money through cybercrime and flexin' on Tiktok, no one is interested in robbin' with gun or fighting for some cult.

On the dark side of the note, fetish acts are being normalized. Back then, if anyone heard you were into anything fetish, everyone would distance themselves from you. Now, visiting Baba's houses to get potent charm soap is like buying Dettol cool from aboki - it's been normalized.

In 2030, this will be the norm

Chase: I been wan use my mama before but I dey pity the woman.

OG wire: Mtcheeeew... Use your gf then. Then the next one, mama go don enjoy enough, you fit use her renew.

Chase: True boss, e be like say na my gf I go use.

[30 days later...]
Chase's gf: (Thin as a broom due to ritual effect will post on Tiktok) "Gave my boyfriend my glory, and he's making the mulla for us. Love you boo, till death do us apart.

Some sane ones will kick against her post, but other girls will back her saying "It's her choice, stop shaming her. Live and let live".

But the same yahoo has caused a tremendous increase in rituals

I don't listen to music, or value art post 2010, there was a time artist spoke against vices in society, against bad governance.

Listening to was not just entertaining but educative and inspirational.

Our current crop of artist encourage all sorts of vices, dumb down the youth of today.

Thanks to them we no longer have leaders for tomorrow, that's why we shall continue to have old farts as leaders, the fact is the future generation can't even fill their shoes.

All they care about is money, sex and drugs.

They will not read, they will comment trash and keep living like godless heathens. I gave up on Nigerian music and stop listening to them. I don't even listen to much contemporary music in general. Too much soul hurting garbage in circulation.

Deeper Life vindicated again
When we talk about Christian moderation, they will say we are judging and practising the law

Those who fought Deeper Life church in 90s and early 2000 for not giving women liberty are regretting it now with the scandals they are dealing with.......
Daddy Kumuyi was very right honestly many are already hooked looking for a Savior

This is the thing that limits Africans.

meobizy:
Yawn. I did not read. Another journalist flexing his skill from boredom.

Look at the person he even cited in the article. Of all people Marilyn Manson? The same Marilyn whose songs are a milestone for kids to get high, someone who said he wants to f.uck Madonna's 15 year old daughter?.....yea I think he should research more before citing someone as a moral compass

Nigeria is not an Islamic Republic

Are u saying Christianity promote immorality..??
Just asking though..

Justinlean02:
Spot on, was lucky to stay amongst folks with eye for great music and I can confirm to y'all that Brymo is so very underated, dudes a living Legend in his own making.

Let's get this movement rolling

Contribute money for you to go and spend on drugs and women?

They'd say it's freedom of expression

Sergio101:



Mr marcroni left the group chat

He goes nowhere.
We just used Army to bring him back by force.
He needs to be served his breakfast.



Accept Jesus today.
He loves you

Do you support music artists like me, who make real and a different style of music? Stop complaining without working.

Here's my song; (I'm an Hip hop artist btw)

Something is brewing. Politicians are working to discredit the entertainment industry seeing that they are with the youths for 2023. When the industry was making Nigeria proud in the global screen, nobody wrote about the wrongs in it. Fear Politicians

vasel15:

so what are you trying to say here. You mean immoral act is good for Nigeria I think you need to check ur brain

Music has been buried since 90s and music now is rubbish, nonsense no moral teaching again in Nigeria music

This country is gradually and surrepticiously tilting towards an Islamic state

Akinpresident:

wasn't aware that's all money does

Reallysimple:
The people, their culture, their values and beliefs are a product of their collective psyche.

These songs are only popular because the reflect the current state of morality in the country. Not the other way round.

Thank you. Let us not forget to lay some blame at parents and how they raise their children. Parents don't spend time with their children, getting to know them and the friends they hang around with. Too busy chasing money or being 'woke' to instill discipline. Mothers are sexualizing their daughters by dressing them like mini adults, taking their pictures with overtly provocative poses and posting them online, all in the bid to be seen as fashionable or to give their daughters what they didn't have growing up. Fathers, stop leaving your children for only their mothers to raise. Show your son how to be a man by example. Show your daughter how to set standards for the man she chooses by your example. Mothers, be an example to your daughters for her to set high standards of self-respect for herself. All these artistes with dirty songs, fake lifestyles and half naked bodies are products of their upbringing. Don't look to entertainers, who may not have had good role models themselves, to be role models for your children.

Ok, the author had a point. I agree with him/her on some level.

But as a creator myself lemme just add that

Those songs are the most consumed music in the country, they are faster paced, high tempo, rhythm and vibe.

They're the club bangers, street anthems and social gyrates.

And due to the current sonic pallette of an average Nigerian music listener. Who are more accustomed to playing dance able tracks than the soft and lyrically tuned ballads and soul music they hit.

Nigerians don't want to or at least care to promote or appreciate music that is focused on uplifting and empowerment.

Except Gospel. Which has become a niche nowadays.

And it has a lot to do with the music being promoted rather than the music being churned out.

I tell you there is an equal number of great "moral" music being released daily, but guess who will get most radio airplay? Or TV airplay or DJ spins, or mentions on Social media. The ones that have all the slangs and jibes and beats and groove.

Asa
Darey
Johnny drille
Brymo
Lady Donli
Simi
Femi Kuti, Made Kuti
Among many others.


Release music typically every week. But guess what, ALMOST 0 airplay, 0 hype, 0 social media impressions, 0 Everything.

If you were a creator/promoter, what will you do? Release a faster paced jam that appeals to the audience or dig your foot in and loose commercial relevance?

Thank Goodness for the outliers that have managed to blur the line a little bit, delivering faster paced jams but with sensible, sometimes morally tenable lyrics.

This issue is everywhere around the globe.
When an artiste makes a good song, he or she don't get returns financially due to poor airing, lack of concerts, and it becomes a wasted effort. But, when dirty songs are produced, the populace appreciates them. Boom, money starts coming in for the artistes and the rest is history.
The society is the problem of what these artistes deliver.

When Olamide delivered Carpe Diem and UY Scuti, most of you guys refused to appreciate him, but when he delivered most projects earlier, the whole place was thrown into frenzies.
