Nigerians are still looking for approval from their slave masters... Its not a new thing...

See this junkie! You are not serious at all! At almost 40, you are still talking like a child! I pity any lady that will shine her eyes and settle down with you! Men younger than you have settled down successfully and are living their lives! Be talking trash oooh!
i see many people here like to blame women for all their problems. Okada men get married everyday, bricklayers oooh, shitpackers oooh, but nairaland men come and rant about Nigerian women blah blah blah! Go for your class and level! People are settling down daily, but longthroat men want to marry Otedola's daughter without doing any work! There are good and bad people in all levels and strata of society. Many of you want highclass big girls, but cannot afford it and you start ranting up and down. There are many low maintenance humble pretty girls in Nigeria. But you all won't see them, due to longthroat. When you get rejected or billed with expenses you start ranting upandan. Mtcheew

you could have ignored him madam! Leave him alone Na.. why did you call him a junkie??

The terms and conditions of accepting a Grammy Award winner is crazy. The process of selecting winners is even worse. Winners aren't voted for by the public.

did you get this of Wikipedia?

African waiting for foreigners to recognize our achievement based on their criteria.
We can organize our own nigeria Grammy award and give it to whoever we like

exactly!

internationalman:
Is it the same grammy that the following artistes have never won you want me to take seriously.

Snoop Dogg
Nas
Katy Perry
Diana Ross
Bust a Rhymes
Nicki Minaj
Sia
Run DMC and lastly
2pac

Funny Cadi could win a Grammy but 2PAC didn't..
Can Cadi B ever do evergreen songs like
Changes
Until the end of time
Dear mama..

And even though Burna Boy is getting nominated he's no where near the best musician Nigeria has ever created...

I love changes very evergreen song!

No mind Africans with their yeye inferiority complex and slave mentally, oh damn 400 years of slavery must have really messed up the brains of Africans that they don't see any good in themselves unless it is recognised by the whites,

Let me ask y'all a question , have you ever seen a foreign artiste aspiring to win an award organised in Africa. The answer is capital NO. Then why is it almost every African artistes dreams to win a foreign award before they consider themselves good. Talk about always wanting to get white man's validation before they see any good in themselves. It is really sad

AFRICAN LEARN TO RATE YOURSEIVES, YOU DON'T NEED THE WHITE MAN'S VALIDATION AND RECOGNITION BEFORE YOU CONSIDER YOUSELVES GOOD BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BETTER THAN YOU

this is very apt , May God help us.

Creeza:
Youd be shocked.

But saying grammy is biased is a no no. Grammy awards songs and artistes from different ethnic orientations whereas the latin grammys you mentioned rewards artistes who sing songs in latin or portugese only

One final note is that Africa has no lingua franca as a continent.

true though

seanwilliam:
Sir, are u trying to say every song that has won or nominated for Grammy cut across “themes on corruption, insecurity, oppression, gender awareness, gender inequality and racial inequality”?

on the world /global album category

chatinent:
Grammy is biased.

this is not debatable lol it's a fact!

no mind them with their hypocrisy, you will see someone rubbishing Nigerian artiste that they have no lyrical content but you will see them vibing to roddy rich, young thug, takeshi 69 etc all because they are American artistes . The one that baffles me the most is the way people call davido frog voice but their playlist is filled with future songs who to me is king of frog voice worldwide not to mention Rick Ross.

They are hypocrites, they will critizes Nigerian artiste for doing one thing but they will be licking the asses of foreign artistes for doing almost the same thing that they critise Nigerian artiste for.

I will say it again, Africans don't rate theirselves at all , they mostly wait for the white man to do that for them. It is sad

I recently created a thread relating to this and I would appreciate your thoughts and comments https://www.nairaland.com/6308360/should-grammys-tool-judging-good

seanwilliam:
I agree to everything you’ve said up there except the bolded .. Grammy mostly deals with album sales , streams and people’s choice. Not necessarily songs with sensible lyrics that cut across the bolded

I disagree with you sir, between Celia and African giant which album had more streams? they don't even look at people's choice else blinding lights would have gotten a Nomination!

Creeza:
grammy doesnt go the artistes, the artistes come to them.

THATS WHY THERE IS ALWAYS A TIME FRAME used to consider any category winner but first you must be nominated and this happens after you have 'submitted' an entry.

Anyone who feels he/she has what it takes to become a grammy nominee and eventual winner should submit an entry or stfu and stop wailing on nairaland

lol burna boy, wizkid or davido are not on nairaland.

Grammy is biased.

exactly even in the USA some artistes are not interested in the Grammy's and their validation of good music, it still shocks me when Nigerians are just hell bent on getting Grammy's nawah o!

Ofemmanu1:
It is inferiority complex that makes Africans love grammys.

The best songsters never got grammys and they remained Heroes and Legends.

e g.

King Sunny Ade
Ayinla omo wura
Barrister
Killington
Shina Peters
Kwam 1.
Otunba Pasuma etc..

grammys is overrated.

this is very apt, thank you for your comment. I don't know when nairaland started disgracing , vilifying and pressurizing our own Nigerian brethrens to get a Grammy at all cost! this is sad and is a negative of a well renowned online forum like this.

you all love the migos and pop smoke, but you are here looking for African artistes with gold lyric, good luck confused wicked people! for your Information, naira Marley and zlatans music has lyrical contents and are not all senseless as you all like to portray it. mental slaves.

this thread is a reaction to the thread "why davido never been nominated for a Grammy". Greatnesss and hard work made davido a topic of discuss. else it could have been why has tiwa savage, Tu face or Wizkids album never been nominated for a Grammy. If there was a category for world/global album song, I am sure davido would have one Grammy with the song fall. the song charted on the US charts for 40 weeks straight and it made remarkable achievements in the charts of many European and American countries. if there was ever a category like best world/global song, Burna boys ye or on the low would have also bagged an award in that category, same for Wizkids soco. Interestingly, let me tell you why I don't feel the Grammy's should be a validation for the greatness , uniqueness and versatility of any African artist. The Grammy's want you to touch themes on corruption, insecurity, oppression, gender awareness, gender inequality and racial inequality before they can consider you for nominations. this is evident in burna boys work "African giant " and Angelique kidjo "celia". African music should be solely for the fun of it, we appreciate women in our culture and we feel they need to be worshipped and pampered. this is the reality of our music today, which I cannot condem because it is cultural and original. African musicians do not really have business with the Grammy's. most of the American songs nominated in the Grammy's, do not touch these themes which are a burden for African and Middle Eastern artistes. As a Nigerian, I pray Burna boys "twice as tall" should win in the category nominated, hence it would force him to lose his originality and African appraisals for the white man's approval because from what I have seen he is hell bent on winning it for bragging rights. The Grammy really has no business or influence in the African and market value of African music, hence no Nigerian album would have gotten more streams than kidjos, Celia album. the Latinos have taken these into consideration, hence the reason why they have their own Grammy's. dear African artistes, keep having fun and expressing yourselves in your own way and do not let the misinformed Grammy influence your style or actions towards music. Music should be for the fun of it, I implore moderators over here to kindly remove the thread on why davido has never gotten a Grammy from the front page, because I feel it is a senseless aimed attack on his personality and brand. cc airmark.

God will bless you immensely, asides bad leadership, most citizens of this country have low self worth, have you seen Indians drag their artistes for not getting Grammy? must a group of selected white elites determine our best artistes for us?

Because of this useless Grammy awards, some of our musicians had to alter their original style that brought them to limelight, I am sorry to say this, most blacks always seek the validations of whites on most issues which is sickening, I long for a day when Cardi B, Chris Brown, Justin Beiber etc would all strive and jostle to win an award organized and hosted in Nigeria.

now a thread in on front page with the intent to ridicule one of our own with original Nigerian sounds and contents.

what's our business with Grammy if there was a Grammy category for best world song, fall would have been nominated and would have won it. white people do not have to tell us what our music have to be like. we don't need that validation anymore. we dont need to put that message in these songs because it's pointless, talking about oppression and slavery and inequality. music should be solely for the fun of it.

for opening this useless thread, the op deserves 600 years of brown teeth!

why are Tacha fans stating the obvious?

it's high time they banned all the apps so that the perverts in their country can properly recover from rehab. they need to ban facebook and instagram in that country as soon soon as possible. especially Facebook! Nigerian girls Don suffer for Indian men hand..

The concept of family or marriage filing for each other as at now, I think it’s ban by the Trump Administration maybe Biden will lift it we are hopeful
What I’ll suggest you do since you said she’s a Puerto Rican, you should try to see if you can to file through to Puerto Rico and maybe you could get a residency then later others.


But yet Puerto Rico is affiliated with the U.S. so the U.S. Consulate and Embassy here in Nigeria handles all of their applications

thank you for this piece I am grateful. Anyways I would try to see if we can use Puerto Rico , then from Puerto Rico to the USA. But she is not resident in Puerto Rico anymore , she lives in her house in Florida. Would that affect things?

How does spousal visa work? My girlfriend for two years now would be coming from Florida to Nigeria early next year so we can get married. She has been a doctor in the USA for 12 years. Do they still grant spousal visa immediately after marriage or how does it work. She has never been married and she is in her 30s. I love her and I want to start a family with her so we can pursue the American dream together. She has is originally from Puerto Rico very beautiful woman. Really beautiful! Kindly brief me on how spousal support works, do we have to get an immigration lawyer. Thanks for your suggestions and opinions anyone.
