bro not true, dey understand Wizkid side too just that Wizkid mixed his own with our local English here, he and burna is trying to sell our local vocal and content.
Most of the artist that perform that song, perform Wizkid part too, and beside essence is the only Wizkid song dey are jaming.
They are jaming songs like, true love, ginger, smile, and the one with Ella!! Oshe

Simple.

Moura7:
Yh essence was/is the most promoted song on that album so it's only normal it has this kinda buzz. Real OGs that have heard the album well would tell you essence is not the best song on the album...there's blessed, true love, sweet one and even reckless. But wizkid was average on the song? Haba now....he gave her a platform to shine. The song had 3 parts...now he let her sing the chorus (the most catchy part), the first part and also joined in the last part too. A song he wrote too, anybody with a nice voice would have done well there too...imagine Tiwa's voice there or even this ayra star girl.

Hopebringer:
[s][/s] Kai you are wow ... What an IQ!! Tems wrote the song for your information. I hope that answers your rubbish question?
Jeez!!

see lie. You can't discredit wizkid cause you don't like him or his music.
It's Wizkid's song. There is nothing you can do about that.

very reasonable line of thought.

Henryfocoyo:
I don't wanna be insulting any here okay.
Can you tell me the difference in tems and Wizkid lyrics content in essence, even the biggest music foreign analyzer stated that Wizkid lyrics content in that song is top notch. this people have spent years in the music industry

you are trying. It's very difficult to reason with people like this.

See SIMP.

You will forever be known as Annie Idibia's brother.

Wetin u don achieve.

Amen. Igbo nation leads while others (a.boki and afonja) follow far behind. NIGERIA WOULD HAVE BEEN SO EMPTY AND RUBBISH WITHOUT IGBO. GOD BLESS NDIGBO

Delusions of Grandeur

All this radicals, even Abacha was weary of them. An adage says if you must eat with the devil use a long spoon.

You'd be thinking my brother my brother, bit they're planning your downfall.

"Dem ina pray on your downfall" BEWARE!
if Abacha can fear them who be youuuu?

Ask him the difference between Nigeria of today and that of 37 years ago. Things have seriously changed. In both good and bad ways.

I dey hustle shaa. Even if I do NYSC my children will never do that sheeeet.

If it was me by now I'd have dropped some nuclear bombs on these people. See how they used innocent children to do human shield.

People are still using kerosene.
Abuja/Lagos/major cities life will make you think na gas be the reigning thing now.
Sorry to the people shaaa.

Greatzeus:
Some are born great( DJ Cuppy)
Some achieve greatness ( WizKid)
Some were born great and still achieved greatness (Davido)

so if your father is not rich you weren't born great?

Nonybb:
Go to YouTube and the song is still as a miserable 24 million views. What is wrong with African songs and YouTube

But it has over 60 million on apple
And about 40 million on spotify.

princewarri1985:
Essence belong to TEMS, she singlehandedly killed that song wizkid and justin bieber verse is bullship. Tems hook and verse on the song is priceless. The song is currently my mom favourite

her melody was amazing on that song.
But i hope you are listening to her EP and other tunes. Because this song is Wizkid's and there is nothing anybody can do to change that.

Leaforever:
Lol, you are so wrong. Essence is not even in my top 6 songs on MIL. It's no 7. Some of us reviewed dt album when it came out dt it was his BEST WORK yet. Haters dt didn't even listen to it said no. He won the UK MOBOs and headies in December last year for it. The album was reviewed on all International music magazines in December as part of the BEST ALBUMS of 2020, even our Joey Akan in Nigeria here named it the best album of 2020.

That album has not left Apple Music top 100 WORLD Albums since it was released. In Nigeria here, since its release, it has not passed no6 on apple music and it regularly goes back to no1. It charted in over 50 countries (still charting). People stream it cos it's just sooooo chill and good.

And did U see d reaction to his tour. Dts how pple react to a solid album, not just a hit song. Na 1 song dem dey go hear for concert?? . Wizkid Sold out New York in 22hrs (10k arena). Sold out O2 arena in 12mins (20k capacity) & will sell tickets again on sep2 for a second O2 arena show. So it will be 40k back to back. Unheard of. Meanwhile burna has not even sold his O2 tickets finish since March. Dts not a diss on burna though cos going to the arena is a feat in itself. Wizzys 2019 arena show wasn't sold out too. Im Just comparing the reaction now, to tell U it's because of his album.


When someone has a hit song and a bleh album, they only get sales for dt song, not the album. Like davido did wt 'fall' on his 'a good time' album. Fall went on to become a gold record in the US but the AGT album didn't even enter billboard 200, because all the other songs were bleh. This album debuted at No2 on billboard world, has stayed in the top 10 for 41 WEEKS!! And came back to no1 again.
It deserves all the success cos it's a damn good album.

I doubt that person you quoted with this understands any of this things you wrote. Sometimes you just leave people to marinate in their cognitive dissonance. Allow them.

Bleep.

That silly you put there is too nice for this person if it was me, I'd have asked why are you so stupid?

Food vendors: money no reach.

Head teacher: food vendors are not consistent, they don't even come.

Special adviser to the governor: food vendors are lying, insincere, inflate figures.

Ministry: N1.8 billion spent on Homegrown School Feeding Programme in three years in Ondo State.

Who is lying and who is saying the truth.

Another federal government led and propelled initiative bites the dust due to corruption, mismanagement, diversion of funds and greediness.

Funnily enough oga bubu is sitting down in aso rock believing that he has and is feeding pupils in school. A disgrace, a shame, failure

Why did they stop at SUG president? They should dug well and asked him what he did and didn't do as class captain in primary school.

Global anthem.

Things falling into place.
Step by step till it reaches perfection.
Support Nigerian music, buy and stream from legal platforms.
I recommend boomplay.

Meanwhile radio and tv should pay their dues and royalties.

Osinbajo for president abeg.

Na beg I take beg una.

Your naivety is second to none. Learn to know how much those party chairmen rake in at any slightest party activities.

The way you people take everything, as an opportunity to be condescending. If you know speak don't be trying to sound like you're doing me a favour.

That aside,
so it's all about money?

Leave it to big businesses to find a way to milk every situation.

Uber created to substitute cabs and taxis - goes on to charge more than them

Airbnb created to substitute hotels - goes on to become more expensive than them too.

On the other hand there those that do and those that say they do. Examples of doers.

Tomorrow is going to be the 10 year anniversary of the 2011 Abuja UN bombing.

It's now PDP remembers HOPE. Like there was ever any hope.

Something state/local policing can do.
But amend the laws that will placate and allow for states and local govt to organize and fund security themselves using initiatives peculiar to them....NO!
20 YEARS will come and go and the bill will still be at the lower chambers being "deliberated" while the entire security apparatus in the country becomes overwhelmed and senators surrounded themselves with armed convoys.

Shiooor!!!

Something amazing happened yesterday-

Honestly speaking tho, when I look at 2023, the only person I can actually stomach the idea of him becoming president is osinbajo.
The thought and sight of tinubu makes me want to vomit. Atiku and the fourty thieves; god forbid, al mustapha; I'd rather run mad, HAhaha bello; over my dead body,
If I could choose, walahi na Yemi.

My question is

Are they using Dangote's head or is Dangote using their head?

Who is deceiving who?

Who is the biggest beneficiary in this relationship?
Or is it mutual gain?

See one industry that is thriving under bubu
