I do not think all this talk is just about the 'pull him down syndrome'

They may not be absolutely correct / objective... I don't think Tuface is not guilty of one or all of the accusations

Synord:
The English dictionary defines a Legend as someone that has an extraordinary accomplishment. Webster dictionary of English defines the terminology “legend “as a person or thing that is very famous for having special qualities or abilities.


Music pundits, listeners and lovers have over the years expressed divergent opinions as to the validity and appropriateness of the terminology “Legend” being indiscriminately conferred on some recording artistes (not musicians) in the Nigerian music industry with many claiming most of the recipients do not deserve and are not befitting of such title/appellation in cognizance of corresponding exploits, years and rate of success in the music industry.



The rate at which every tom, dick and harry is being labelled a Legend is alarming and can only be considered a mere puff.


It should be noted that while some of these artistes tagged legends are well deserving, the comparison of some artistes to the real legends constitutes nothing but an act of disrespect and not giving proper recognition and honour to whom it is due. The holy book of the Christians says “Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar”. This appellation “Legend” given to some of the not so deserving artistes is what pushes some of them to misbehave even to their superiors or even rest on their oars and reduce their efforts because they feel that they have finally arrived. The only Legend most of these type of artistes deserve is Legend extra stout.

IN MY OPINION, taking into consideration the practicability of the subject matter and looking at the issue from a realist perspective armed with the knowledge of the custom usage of the word “Legend “and conferment in the past, it is pertinent to note that certain factors are to be put into consideration when considering giving someone the title “Legend” vis a vis the Nigerian Music industry.



One has to take into consideration the Period of “Active “years of the so called artist in the music industry, the impact of their songs in the society, number of Mega Hits, Number of Hit Features, endorsements over a certain period of time, Brand and content acceptance, versatility and then amount and quality of successful artists that such individual has groomed amongst others.

The Likes of Sunny Ade, Sunny Okposu, Ebenezer Obey,Fela anikulapo kuti, Ik dairo ,Onyenka Onwenu ,Zaaki ,Orlando owoh and others tick the boxes in most of the above listed requirements.


As far as the contemporary Nigerian music industry is concerned, personally, I would mention only 2face, Dbanj, Psquare ,Davido , Olamide (yes) and Wizkid as Legends in the Industry.The rest are towing the path to achieve this great status and in few years’ time and with consistency, most of the remaining A list Nigerian artists will be considered Legends for their contribution to the music industry.


Legends should never be mistaken for pioneers. Because one is the pioneer of a genre of music at a particular time or the forerunner at a particular time, doesn’t automatically make one a legend. Ask Mr Eazi, self-acclaimed creator of Banku music if you think I am lying.

In the 21st century Nigerian Music Industry, who do you think qualifies to be labelled a Legend??

Africans and religion scams. So, this fraud of a child is playing with the brains of grown ass adults, even making a living and a killing of it too.


'Wonder baby' my ass!

whose parents claimed had spoken twice in two weeks after his birth and possess healing powers had not uttered any word ever since to convince critics.

He has reportedly transferred his healing spirit to his mother, who can now heal anyone no matter the spiritual problems especially anytime she carries the wonder boy on her bosom.

Vanguard reliably learned that only the mother of the baby, Mrs. Sikiratu Ajayi, claimed the baby uttered the words “E polongo ogo mi o, e polongo ogo mi o ewe nje o” meaning that the parents should proclaim his power across the universe and that there is efficacy in herbs.

In other news....

copied.

There is this guy in Kaduna, who has been going round media houses and abusing the government of Mal. Nasir El-Rufai that they are not doing unjust and are running a corrupt government.
The governor now asked his aides to look for the telephone number of this guy, who goes by the name is Jarfa. So, the governor called him and ask him to come to the government house, using Keke NAPEP, and added that he had already informed the security at the gate .
When he arrived, the governor welcomed him and gave him N200,000 to give to the Keke man and come back. He went out and gave the Keke man N2,000. On coming back, Mallam El-Rufai asked whether he had settled the Keke man, and he said, yes.
For those of you that know the Kaduna government house, it has two gates. The governor asked the securitymen to send back the Keke man. When he came over, the governor asked him if this man (Jarfa) had settled him, and he answered yes,). He further asked him, "how much did he give you"? "N2,000" he answered.
The governor now told him, "you see yourself from N200,000 to N2,000; you pocketed N198,000, only you! For that reason, if given the chance you will make Kaduna bankrupt but Allah knows best. You have lost a brand new car, see the key here;;;I was thinking you were an honest person, but your own is even worse. You can leave now!"
Since then, no one knows his whereabouts, as he his voice has suddenly disappeared from the airwaves!


Na true?

jonnytad:
Yes, I had to swear to comment on this post. Why?

I think its high time we tell ourselves some simple truth. We go about commenting on christian posts, saying what we know nothing about, judging their pastors and we jealously guard our own like egg....
I challenge the Owner of #NAIRALAND on this..... Why should we swear to comment on Islamic posts and you open the other people's post to anyone. If you are a good Muslim, you should know that this is wrong and unlawful.

dodelight:
Abi o. Every year thousands of Muslims convert to Christians and we don't blow the trumpet online. Of course there are many who go to church but don't really know the person of Christ, such souls can easily fall for deceptive alternatives.

legitnow:
HAUSA,FULANI,AFONJA, WILL KEEP GETTING HARD-ON ABOUT CONVERTING IGBO TO CHRISTIANS TILL JESUS COMES.

FOR AS LONG AS ISRAEL REMAINS A COUNTRY DOMINATING THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST, SO WILL IGBOS REMAIN JEWS AND CHRISTIANS EVEN IF THE ENTIRE TRIBES IN NIGERIA, FELL TO ISLAM.

nnokwa042:
