Bro... Please, I'm not a fan abeg. I don't listen to kpangolo music (No offense).

I say he is good based on his ability to craft tunes that draw massive and widespread appeal among Kpangolo music enthusiasts.

He basically joined the niche/genre and owned it!

Talking about lyrics... Which musician or artiste in his genre has songs with good lyrics??! Aren't they all constantly singing about sex, drugs, ostentatious living??!

If people want sensible lyrics, they should go to art gallery and listen to poetry

Islam and Christianity are two sides of a coin. Both crazy set of delusional lunatics

Dest8sman:
Nothing you have said here has anything to do with divide and rule.

It’s not hard to read between lines

Look at European countries, some of these countries are so small but are all countries of people with same identity and ideologies. They all have one common language. Iceland speak Icelandic, Poland speak polish, sweden speaks Swedish etc
Yet all the European countries have the strongest union that supports one another and even have a common currency.

But here in Africa, the countries are carved out without regard to peoples ideologies and identities. Fulanis are in Mail, Chad, Niger. Why can’t Fulani be a country called Fulani.
Yorubas are in Togo, Benin. Why can’t Yoruba be a country. Same with igbos and the rest.
Then a union can be created for the African people with a common currency. We will work better that way and achieve more. There will be more unity that way.
That’s divide and rule, cut you into pieces and give you a new identity that’s not real. What does Nigerian mean?
Another divide and rule is religion, they gave you Islam and Christianity to continue fooling yourselves and fighting over irrelevant stupid things.
I have many things I could type but I don’t have much time.

SoftBread01:
There are a number of reasons why some leaders may choose to stay in power for a long time.

Some leaders (North Korean leader) may enjoy the prestige and power that comes with being in a leadership position.
Others (Russian president) may feel a sense of responsibility to their country or organization and feel that they are the best person for the job.
Some leaders may also be motivated by a desire to achieve specific goals or implement certain policies.

Finally, some leaders (African leaders) may be unwilling to relinquish power because they fear what might happen if they step down.

You have a point. Like the case of Libya or Iraq

The fall of Sadam Hussein and Gaddafi made those countries worse than they were.
But that’s not the case with these European colonies. The citizens are poor and don’t benefit anything from the countries resources. Rather, their European colonizers are the ones benefiting and stealing their resources. The reverse is the case for Iraq and Iran, they were trying to steal their resources and they had to conspire to take out their leaders to make them vulnerable

Chizaam2008:
Compared to the black race?
In just one continent alone.

The black race and cowardice are like rice and beans.

There is only one hand in this, the colonizers.
I hate to use the word colonial masters because the use of masters is degrading to the African people.

They have only one mission, to steal African resources. They just make sure they have one person they can use as a puppet and rule the country indirectly. These colonies haven’t gotten any true independence, Gabon just got theirs today.


Imagine African countries with resources but they ship those resources to this western countries. Imagine having oil and you don’t have fuel and gas.
Or having gold and the gold is seating in a vault in Europe
We have uranium yet no power
We have iron and steel yet no access to infrastructure
We have Cocoa yet people don’t have food
The list is endless.
Only some greedy people without vision are being used to cheat the entire nation. They get so rich while Africans suffer

Chizaam2008:
This can only happen with the extremely weak 'black race'.

Give them slavery instead of liberty.

All the other leaders like Lumumba and Gaddafi died in vain.

Not only the black race, Putin has ruled for a total of about 19 years
North Korea Kim Jong took over his father

MrsTwrite:
This is pure wickedness.

Lol, I see more coups happening


Especially Congo and Cameroon. Those French colonies are using these guys to steal African resources. Not just France, England too. But it seems france cup is full.

These people steal our resources and develop their own land. They prevent you from coming to their country. Africa is poor today because of few greedy leaders collaborating with these white colonial masters.

Gabon just go their independence today.

You are the illiterate and ignorant one here if you don't know the correlation between this report and APC...



This report is and offshoot of the one that debased Lagos and Nigeria economy earlier posted.


Put on your thinking cap next time.

So who wrote the report, APC?

correctguy101:


You can yab o...

The times where Nigerians are so much interested in foreign music has long passed. I could remember years back, especially on Christmas days, one could hardly hear any Nigerian song blasting from speakers. Even Shaba Ranks and the others reign pass Nigerian songs.

Not anymore, we hardly have time for foreign songs as our boys dey fire correct gbedu back to back... Even oyibo dem love our songs more than we love theirs these days.

Only someone who hates truth go dey look down on our musicians. Even OgheneRhema wey dey dohohohoho still better pass many American musicians in my honest opinion. At least I have calm down and dumebi in my phone...

No take the guy too serious, na the money American musicians get dey deceive his brain.

Calm down by Rema seems to be the most played song in the US. They use it for TV commercials, it is virtually everywhere on the streets.
Enter a random place and you hear Afro beats playing at the background. It is simply amazing

christejames:
APC keeps churning out propaganda after propaganda

---

I’m not sure if this is illiteracy. I am not saying the report is right or wrong but what has APC have to do with this?

TheSuperX:
And you want to compare America musicians to the trashy musicians we have here? you must be a clown, including those two people that liked your post. 😂

We know Asake, Wizkid, Rema, Burna boy etc all over the world. These guys have performed in international stage. Currently in the US, Nigerian music is taken over.
First question; who are you? What have you achieved with your life other than envy against your fellow Nigerians (because this is obviously envy, typical black man)
Asake should be your age mate, perhaps, you are probably older than Rema.
It is not only music you can do, you can do many things to shine in your own way, but this envy and bitterness won’t save you.
Obama knows Rema, does your local government chairman even know you?
Think about your life and how you are a mediocre before insulting people making the country recognized. Even portable is more achieved than you

Africans are at it again!


Go to world and talk bad about your own

What has changed?

Same way your ancestors betrayed their brothers and sold them to slavery.

Buhari told the world we are lazy youths

Or the Nigerian boy that went to UK to tell them how Nigerians go to UK just to japa in disguise of school

There are ways your promote the image and brand of your nation and people when the world is listening to you. They say don’t wash your dirty linens in the public.

Afrobeat we know is not perfect but it is one brand that’s selling Nigeria currently

The world loves Afrobeats.

What is wrong in building your own brand and identity and embracing it?

But here you are, talking down on your own and the hard work of your brothers in the industry.

The world is beginning to take interest in our brand. They invited you to sing at the World Cup, they recognized you during the kings coronation at UK. And many more.

But when you have the chance to speak, you will rather sell your brothers and years of hard work cheaply

Please what does American music sing about if not sex, drugs, girls, and violence.

When Obama listed some Afrobeats as his favorite songs, you did not appreciate that.
Na wa for Nigerians, if you like, use your own hands to destroy the one thing that’s giving you world recognition and respect.
The afrobeat industry alone has employed a lot of youth and turned lives around

Continue, in few years time, other countries will rebrand your Afromusic and take it away from you and you will be relegated again to the bottom

TheSuperX:
Keep deceiving yourself there, Burna boy said the fact and y'all know that but won't admit, Afrobeat is filled with mediocre wannabe musicians that sing about sex and women, both Wizkid and Davido are all singing rubbish with trashy songs, infacts Nigerians love musicians with trashy songs more than the good ones.

Lastly Burna Boy will never apologize because he isn't wrong and currently all his songs is trending on apple chart occupying 1-15 positions, Burna is here to stay for a very long time.

What does American music sing about?

Basic123:
Honest,I don't know what that burna wants to achieve with this!


The guy has ended up setting Afrobeats backwards by 50years with this speech!

He is noting but a fool

Nice2023:
Dangote is a monopolist and has no iota of pity for the poor.

He is extremely greedy and wicked

Dangote is not just the culprit. But he is the one being used to suffocate the average Nigerian. These are some of the men that are supposed to be wiped out from the surface of the earth and let people breathe

gssdobi:
Hmmm
Deep.
I have been wondering why Africa, stopped progressing after the coming of the West.

They cut off Africans from their identity

Europe and America is developed and wealthy today because of the work their ancestors did in stealing from other parts of the world especially Africa

Labour and Raw materials are most significant
They took slaves for free Labour and looted our natural resources
And made sure this will continue unrestricted as long as Africa is in bondage

Money use to have real value
If you want to take our crude oil, then give us Gold in return

Or take away uranium and gives us diamonds in return

But they print money that loses value and take real resources.
So all the money that Nigeria made in 1960, where are they today. But our crude oil, gold and diamond is still working for them. If they are broke, they can print more money, give to us and collect our resources

A gold coin in 1000 Bc is still of value today. But a dollar note in 1990 is different from today

OperationalVehi:
2nd strategy is Religion... It's easier to steal from a fool with a new religion

Yes bro, they said African gods are demons, but Carried the demons to their own country.

My question is this to my fellow Africans, if these things were truly demons, why did they pay so much to steal them and took them away, they used youths to steal these artifacts and looted them away.
They gave us bible and Koran, while we read, they stole our lands

A001:
Well said. You did some deep thinking to come up with this.

Thanks bro

kettykin:
Isn't this how niger delta God given heritage and wealth has been stolen overnight under the cover of one United , indivisible giant of Africa, with their prominent sons getting peanuts for securing the oil pipes pumping aqay their destiny .


Sometimes I ask my self what has niger delta really profited from belonging to this nation. This is worse than what France is doing to francophone nations like Niger

Divide and rule.
Then exchange a fools gold for gold

Do you know how they printed paper currencies and assigned value to them?. They call one paper 100 dollars, call another 50 dollars or call one 20 pounds.
Then use to to exchange for crude oil. Not just Niger delta but entire Africa is being ripped off

If you know how many people have died or lost a limb fallen into manholes, you will agree with Wike

EnglishUsa:
Lugard It shall not be well with you

It will never be well with them all. Queen Elizabeth and lord lugard. May they never find peace in after life

And if they reincarnate, may they be reincarnated in the poorest region of west Africa and be married off to jihadists

Well,

That’s how to steal from a fool.

Confuse them, rip off their identity, give them a new purpose and belief, divide and rule and most importantly, exchange a fools gold for the original gold

Welcome to a new Africa stripped of their identity, a new black race of prayer warriors and Islamic clerics.

Of the worst thing they stole from Africa

It is your identity and spirituality.

Africans now a confused race. People who look for their ancestry in a book called bible that never mentioned any African name.

A confused people who don’t know their history

A confused and divided people who shed each others blood for a foreign religions

And while all these are happening, new resources are being discovered daily. And each time a new resources is discovered, they kill each other to extract these resources, exchange it for currencies and send them to Europe and Americas.

When the Europeans got here. They met a very spiritual African race.

Well, it was simple, they had to trick you and make you hate your ancestors.

It is still another strategy to steal from a fool.

They took away your spirituality and called them demons. (Just as you would scare a child to collect his toy)
Well, they carried the demons to their countries while they gave you a new religion.

So you ever wonder why they were so interested in stealing your demons and carried them away to Europe.
Do you know how the Europeans bribed and corrupted some youths to steal their idols and looted them away to Europe?
So why would they be so interested in looting your demons and taking them to their country.

That’s how you steal from a fool!

This was how the Europeans stole from Africa

Yes, the Europeans got here and were initially resisted. Though they eventually conquered. But their victory won’t have been for long if they had not come up with some fantastic strategies. Because sooner or later, they knew the owners of the land will eventually fight for freedom

So, they had to steal your souls, erase your identity and give you a new sense of purpose

The creation of paper money.
Paper money is an illusion. It is not real! You may not understand but trust me, it is not real

It was created to fool you!

In the ancient time, real money is gold coin or silver coin. Imagine having a gold coin in 1000 Bc, that gold coin in 2023 will still carry value

But paper money of 1990 in Pounds is not same as 2023. It is just a piece of paper that was assigned illusionary value.

The real money then was in gold and silver.

But someone created a piece of paper and assigned value to it, and used it to exchange for natural resources like crude oil, diamonds, gold, uranium, lithium.

Now Africans exchange their resources of oil, foods, and precious metals and get paper in return.

These Europeans assigned value to their currencies. All they do is print them, and use to exchange for real resources they use to develop their lands. Then you wonder why you are poor

3. Erase their identity

When you have divided them and given them a new sense of purpose. Ensure to erase all evidences of their history and identity.

Write a new book for them, rename them. Give them a new identity so the new generations won’t remember the old generations. Cut them off!!!

The old generations will slowly pass away, become legends and gradually become myths.
They will become old fashioned.

Then you have a new generation of fools, with new identity, new names, false history, no connection. And a generation that won’t differentiate a real gold from a fools gold

So how do you divide?

Give them something to fight for, it could be false beliefs. It could also be by giving them a new identity. Rename them, give them a new identity and give them something to fight for. Give them a false sense of purpose.

1. Exchange their gold for a fools gold:

This method works every time. You see a child holding money, you want that money from the child, tell the child the money he is holding is a piece of shittt and he should throw it away.

You see a fool with a gold, tell the fool the gold is dangerous and from the devil, collect it and replace it for him with a piece of wood. Tell him the wood is from the angels.

You can even get rocks and paint them the colour of gold, use it to exchange the original gold.

Let’s discuss how to steal from a fool.

You see the land of fools naturally blessed with so much gold.

You need to steal the gold.

1st attempt: you went with guns and weapons to invade. You had little success because they were ready to give you a run for your money. They fought you so bad you had to retreat.

2nd attempt: you went back and fought harder than the first time, you lost so much men but you were able to conquer. But you know your victory is only for a while, it was temporary.
Because they will continue to resist and fight for freedom.

You got to their land and discovered they even have much more resources you thought, they have gold, diamonds, cocoa, oil, and many more.
You need to steal everything!

So you met on the round table and came up with a strategy that will make the fool hand over their resources to you forever without ever fighting anymore. You need to steal from them from generations to generations.

1st strategy: Divide and rule

Divide and rule is the first strategy of war. You need to divide them across various lines and spheres. Once they are divided and busy fighting themselves, they will never unite to fight for freedom.

Does the moon exist?
