Why not call igala people Yoruba because they speak yoruboid language? 🙄

kettykin:
The most streamed music from Nigeria both gospel and secular music are all from igbo musicians . I am still wondering what this thread is meant to achieve, Ckay's love nwantinti is the most streamed secular music while sinach way maker is the most streamed gospel music in the world .

Lesson learnt here , igbos have more worth and are appreciated more by the world than they are appreciated in Nigeria.



we have not finished celebrating the igbo girl that went to a chinese university and beat chinese in their Mandarin Language by coming out the best student in the university , now we have this topic coming up



Igbos still hold the ace in the Class room, Board Room and in the Studio room

Hmmmmm. Well I don't know alot but I know this much.
There was a time when Igbo artists and their music ruled but they themselves (Igbo artists ), were unable to stand the test of time. By now who wants to be singing 'kporokotom kpom kpom' but back then, this flavour song, for those of you who know the name (Cause I never knew the name) was a party banger. So were the likes of P Square's Alinco (if that's the name) and others. But time changed all that.
You want to know how people like Olamide, Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid have been able to remain on top and relevant all these years. It's simple, they upgraded their skill set. Take a listen to Davido's 'Dami Duro' and compare it with 'Unavaible' from the his recent album 'Timeless' the difference is clear. It's still the same artiste but he upgraded. Or is it someone like Burna Boy, Wizkid just name any prominent Nigerian artiste today that has been around for a long time in the music industry, there is a big difference between their old songs and their recent ones. It is all about being up to date with music demand. Like I don't think we will ever get tired of the amapiano genre. But there are still artists not into amapiano that are still very successful with their own music. There's Rema, Ckay, Omah Lay amongst others. The Igbo artists you mentioned when last dem release song talkless of say dem give us the vibe we are looking for. Kcee release 'Ojapiano', Kolaboy don release 'Kolapiano vol. 1 and 2', Okay. When last did we get a song from flavor or even P Square while other artists are busy bombarding the music market with masterpieces. I myself has been a huge fan of rema since 'Ginger Me' but when I heard 'Sungba' by Asake back in 2021 I loved it. I later discovered he had a song (lady) back in 2016 but had not had a breakthrough ever since. What does that show, Improvement. Now overseas dem chop am like soya, everybody don turn disciple.
Long story short, as Davido release, Wizkid go release and so will kizz Daniel, Burna Boy and so will many other YOURBA MUSICIANS but how many IGBO MUSICIANS release song wey don blow your mind this season. Kcee and Kolaboy both release their own piano (we sef wan release my own: Eddipiano ) but na Kcee's ojapiano blow, Ckay gave us 'Nwayi' and did 'Hallelujah' with Blaqbonezmake another Igbo artist release song wey make sense we nor see. Meanwhile Olamide and Asake gave us Amapiano and New Religion with the latter releasing an album shortly after, Davido's Timeless album was already out way before, Burna Boy with sitting on top of the world, Kizz Daniel with shuperu, bella shmurda release song, Seyi Vibez nor dey let one song blow finish him go release another one (Song Release Machine ) Where are the Igbo Musicians?
Peace

thesolutions:
Following trend is the problem of most artist from the eastern region. Afro beat is not an Igbo tune so they can never vibe well in it.
The Igbo music has a faster pace than the afro beat and if they want to play afro beat, they have to step the pace but if they do this, it might not be considered afro beat. So they need to do what they are known for.

Abagworo:


Victony, Tempo, Crayon, Rema, Poco Lee, Soft, Korra Obidi, Blaqbonez, Odumodubl^ck, Omah Lay, Nonso Amadi, Chike and a whole lot are Igbos

Abagworo:


Ckay and Victony are some of the biggest stars on earth today. Rema is Delta Igbo while Omah Lay is Ikwerre. The biggest songs in Nigerian history are "Calm Down" and "Love Nwantiti".

Obaaderemi2:
This was copied. How true is this?

NewDea4:


Yeah bro igbo music is more embedded with highlife (which came out of Ghana) and it's pace is much faster than afrobeat.

Meanwhile no one said anything when 90% of Super Eagles players were Ibo, so why are ibo people so greedy? Make una chill abeg you can't have it all!

I'm not Igbo but if Yorubas can claim Okun people of Kogi state are Yorubas and even those of Kwara then the Igbo speaking tribes of Delta and Rivers are Igbos. Stop the fuulishness please.

None of them is Igbo
Even Muma gee is Ijaw from Abua-Odual in Rivers state.

BentizilL:

Baba nobody is asking you whether you're Igbo and nobody is calling the Igboid speaking tribes non igbo, they're the one saying they aren't Igbo...

But ikwere are not Igbo, they should stop land grabbing...

Igboid:


Abua-Odual are not Ijaw.
They speak an Ibibiod language.
Ijaw and land grabbing nah five and six.
Anyone living in riverine area that is not speaking an Igboid Language automatically become land grabbed as Ijaw even when their language is totally unrelated to Ijaw.

Ebi2233:

Is Ijaw a parricular language?
Better grow up.

Ckay is not important

@Felabrity

Dude, i hope you're not serious with this assertion! You look at the exploits of Igbos', from the 60s to date' and you wanna claim 'music is not our thing'!?

The thing i see playing out here is that the promoters of the likes of Davido, Wizkid and Burna are quite good at what they do, and Igbo artistes like P-Square, Tekno, CKay, etc, are not as good or the artistes aren't that interested or as committed in pushing their brand internationally.

Personally, i take a nuanced approach when analysing works and effort of Nigerian afrobeat artistes, and for most of these ones people think are so good, it's only one or two songs of there's i can rate.

For Burna, most of his recent stuff doesn't work for me. I only rate his Angeli---Angelinaaaaa and Dangote songs. Haven't felt anything else he's done.

For Davido, he deserves his international status as he a good performer and has released some good songs like Fall and IF (Tekno produced IF).

None of Wizkids songs do much for me.....Same thing with Tiwa Savage and the new one Asake. CKay, it's only his Love-Nwantinti that i rate.....and for Kizz Daniel, it's only his Buga song that does it for me.

Tekno and P-Square in my estimantion have a much better and richer back-catalogue, but like i said, their PR dept isn't as good as those of Davido, Wizkid and Burna!
