LegendHer0:
Anti spam bot banned me.

But below is the post.

These are mostly regional estimations. In the East, no one knows most of these guys.

I think a better way should be social media comedy makers.

Emmanuella tops all of them.

They don't know Tao, Abiola and most of the ones you have mentioned. Macaroni have a more national and continental (African) appeal.

I believe when it comes to YouTube, Samspeedy got a more global audience and YouTube subscription than all of them.

I believe they all work together well though. They do a lot of collaboration to promote each other.

Dsalvo:
Don't know about flavour mate. I am talking O2 Arena and dem big venue affairs bro. If Flavour played a UK Venue it would have to be small because mainly Igbos in the UK would show up. Same. For 9ice the Gongo Aso crooner. Na Yorubas go dey there.

Whereas Burna, Wizkid, Tems, Tiwa, Davido will pack out the biggest venues with a mixed crowd. That's what popular music, that creates superstars, is about.

Runtown has done okay in Africa especially collabos with artists like Sarkodie etal. Similar with Patoranking who is somewhat a dancehall phenomenon . They're not global though with broad appeal. That's the truth

You must not have seen Flavour in Jamaica, Suriname, South America. He filled up stadiums all over Africa.
He filled up his shows in Paris last two years.
I agree with you, Flavour will not pack the O2. But Note that Nigerian music is huge in the UK only though. WizKid will not fill a hall in Germany, Austria etc for instance. Burna got a show coming up in Germany but he will not do 10% of UK numbers.
They are all doing great though.

If you live in diaspora though, you would think that the hits in Nigeria are doing the same numbers globally but not so.
Ckay's music for instance is a mega international hit (the biggest in Nigerian history so far when it comes to current streaming rates) but it didn't gain such traction in Nigeria.

LegendHero:
I think I will give the comedy to the South South.

Besides all those bovi, I go Dye, they have some Instagram comedians along that Edo-Delta line making waves.

But when it comes to monetization and the comedy economics, AY na baba for there.

Although AY no dey funny that much to me, but he’s able to get something’s right about his shows.

I would agree that stand-up is mostly Delta state especially but regionally SS. However, the greats like Basket mouth, Okey Bakassi, Klint the drunk and so many others gave them a good run too..but definitely the South.

In Economics, AY is great but don't forget people like Ali Baba and the other guy that runs Night of thousand laughs and one other TV programme were cashing out too... AY is great in this era.

Igboid:
How has the west closed the gap on comedy?

Comedy is still well led by SS and SE.
Comedy I think of Elenu, Macroni and maybe Broda shaggy.
But SE has (Pragya, Sabinus, Aloma,Brain jotter, and many more)
SS has quite a long list o can't remember now.

It depends on what type of comedy too.. stand-up nationally is a dying craft... But South South and East (Basket mouth, Okey Bakassi, klint the drunk, Buchi, etc) were quite ahead of the West even till today.

However, when it comes to skit, I think the West are doing great but the East still edges it. No one does the numbers Emmanuella and Markangel does on platforms. Crazy clown was also one of the trend setters... but they still have Sydney Walker, Nastyblaq (Who are all easterners)

However, the West also have a lot of good ones like Macaroni, Tao etc. but I think some of them are limited because they appeal more to a region against people like Emmanuella that have a global audience for instance.

Igboid:
Burna is from Engenni.
Engenni are more like Isoko people. Their language is Edoid.
But Ijaw like we already agreed is not an ethnic group, but a franchise.
Engenni identify politically as Ijaws even when they are ethnically not Ijaws.

Mbiama is in Engenni.... Engenni people are also a confused people...cos they are very small too... They are all comers when it comes to identification. They say they are from Bini but are brothers with Urhobo but follow Ijaw when it is convenient and then always have Igbo middle or surnames but hold firmly their Engenni independence. Well, I don't think they have more than 20k people in total.

LegendHero:
Na Flavor I like pass. The guy get better voice and sings some cool music until lately when he somehow just relax.

What about Tekno? Them dey always Jam Tekno song wella for USA lounge and clubs. Even for places you won’t imagine self.

I think Flavour didn't relax, he just went a little bit more traditional promoting more of Igbo music than "national" music.... his streaming numbers are not bad considering the type of music he is making... I like the way he is promoting Igbo music globally.

WesternOligarch:
Burna boy is clearly an ijaw boy, but am not interested in arguing that.

Burna is not clearly an Ijaw boy... He is from so many places that he himself is confused.
His father is Mbiama (Edo speaking people close to Ijaw and Igbo), some of his uncles being Igbos/Igboids. His uncle is the popular Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo.

His mother is probably an Edo/Yoruba mix.

I guess he is comfortable being anything, although he calls himself, "Odogwu".

WesternOligarch:
Lol.....ckay is just a one hit wonder unfortunately. Streams are good but these guys have won awards and performed on international audiences closing down stadiums and areanas and tems is relatively new but she already has a feature with drake.....from fela to dbanj to wizkid yorubas changed the music industry and are even doing epic stuff in the movie industry with the likes of Kemi Adetiba and kunle afonlayan.

Dbanj was great. But as I said, you guys look at things from a regional or situational point of view.

You have forgotten that before WizKid, people like Psquare were making videos as good as American music videos.

women were fainting when Psquare touched them on stage in Europe then. They invaded Africa and had collaborations with Akon when he was super hot and Rick Ross... that's when WizKid was still a boyboy in EME music.

Psquare had broken the 100 million YouTube view celling on Nigerian music by then.

Flavour was closing down stadiums all over Africa.

I believe they have all benefited by working together and Afro music has gone global too.

On the other hand, Ckay's one hit has proven greater than all these prospects put together. Ckay is also signed by Warner Music. Also, he produces and writes his music like Omah Lay and Tekno, plays almost 5 instruments.

Runtown (from the east) wrote and produced Davido's megahit "Aye"

and Tekno also wrote and produced his other hit, "If".

While Peruzzi have written and produced most of his massive hits later in Davison's career.

I believe they have done good working together.
Also the SS/SE music is hard to differentiate because most SE are just similar to SS (asides from Edo, Bayelsa and non-igbo parts of Delta).

Nigerian afro music have interwined.

WesternOligarch:
Davido, Wizkid, Tems and Tiwa...... nigerian music is largely Yoruba music. No dispute to this.

Unfortunately, people in Nigeria do not use YouTube or other international streaming services and base their judgement on local radio or regional plays.

On YouTube, Tems do not have any track that exceeds 20 million. Davido doesn't have any with more than 30 million in the last 2 years. WizKid highest view is Joro with 150 million released over 2 years ago.

Do you know that, this month alone Ckay have gotten over 90 million view based on his track? and a piano acoustic version of his song has almost 90 million streams?
A lot of illegal uploads with 40 million, 20 million?

In Gospel nko? the East overwhelmingly dominates.

The West are doing great no doubt.

Justmesagi:
Before it was between the East and West until the West took a leap and become the indisputable champion with the calibre of artiste that comes from there.

The West offers artistes like Wizkid, Davido, Olamide, Tiwa Savage, Tems, etc.
She also has most top music video directors like Clearance Peters, Dammy Twitch, Meji Alabi, Dapo Fagbenle (Dap), Ademola Falomo, Mattax, Sesan Ogunro etc

But now the South Southerners are at the forefront and may take the "indisputable" tag if the Westerners become over complacent.

The likes of Burna Boy, Buju, Oman Lay, Timaya, Rema etc come from the South South.

Top music video directors like TG Omori, James Omokwe etc.

There is no need for "competition", they should all collaborate and work together.

The "East" holds its own and have a lot of prospects too.
Ckay who is from the "East" is the hottest thing out there currently. His streaming is by far the highest of any Nigerian this year. His streaming for this month is higher than all the Davido, WizKid, Tiwa and Tems hits this year put together.

With the pace it is taking, it will be the highest ever streamed Nigerian Music on YouTube and Spotify.

Olamide and Phyno are at par and their collaboration was epic.

in Gospel, people like Sinach have the highest streaming of any gospel musician in history. One of his track is nearing 200 million on YouTube

Techno have music with over 170 million views on YouTube.

Old timers like flavour, too many new artistes.

They all need each other. They have been able to work together like the legendary Olamide and Phyno combination.

Collaborations will take them higher and make them better.

Also note that music that is popular in the west might not be in the East. You listen to zlatan in the west, no one knows him in the East.

People like Flavour are concentrating on Igbo cultural music these days, which might not be popular nationally but appeals to a particular group.

Globally, they are all doing well.

Captain8:
let the Ndokis chose for themselves which tribe they belong

Our Ndoki people warned you already. That should be enough.

The success of an Ijaw people should be the happiness of any sane Igbo person. We have demonstrated it by standing by your people at our own expense but that should not be taken for weakness.

valirex:
They can take Ndoki but not Ẹdo, rubbish you can fight your fight without adding other people.

Oga, they have Edo lands in their fake maps. I am just saying in case they need your lands and people, they can mess with you people. You guys are kind, but they should not extend this near anywhere Igbo land including our islands in Opobo.

SaintBishop:
So how is it igbos headache when we say that there are ijaws in Ondo state? Wike said that he's not an Igbo man but he's from Benin,how Benin and Igbo carry relate? Lol. And there's no where in Rivers State called Obiybo it is Oyigbo and it belongs to the Ogonis know this and have peace as well lost Jew.

"Oyigbo" is the name of the LGA. Obigbo is a place and people in "Oyigbo LGA... The name was used to compensate Ken Saro Wiwa the sabo for supporting the Fulanis during the war.

On the Ondo issue, that's should not be my business... Face Ondo and leave Igbo land out of all the claims.

As for Wike, I don't care about talking about it outside.. You see Chibuike Amaechi are Igbos in the land, when time reach, they will go back to Edo republic.

DubaiLandLord1:
You Igbos, face your Ijaw master and leave Yorubas and Yoruba land out of your madness.

Una dey shout say Yorubas betrayed a Southerner, but Una dey drag people land with them.

E even good for Una ijaws and Igbos. Make Una chop Unaself.

No igbo dey talk about Yoruba o... na Ijaw people say na them get Ondo state. and that one no concern Igbos. Thanks Aboki.

SaintBishop:
Wike said that his people are not heboos you clown,and there's nothing like obiybo it's Oyigbo you land grabber.
Like I said, you can't even do shit to Wike yet you are making your smelling mouth here clown.

As I said, that an in-house issue and not an Ijaw headache. Is Amaechi not from the same place as Wike?
Obigbo is Ndoki and Asa land.. and we are fighting for them because they are Igbo as well.

Know this and know peace.

GreatBoss:
Ijaw Republic. When u add Ndoki and Oron.
I'm a member of the Ijaw Republic Liberation Movement Militant Forces, and I'm a full time disciple of General Ditari.

You even added Ogoni land. LOL. When you sober up.... I understand you need population to add to your 500k population.

GreatBoss:
You are not from Ndoki and you know it.
It's not today that you've been speaking to me on Nairaland you are not Ndoki.
The ndoki leaders have met with General Ditari to include them in Ijaw Republic.

You don't know how Igbos roll. Igbo bu Igbo.

SaintBishop:
You can't even save yourselves from wike and his ikwerre clan yet you are threatening ijaws? What a clown you are useless majority lol.

Wike was messing with Ndoki and Asa subgroups in Obigbo... We were speaking on their behalf as Igbos because they are Igbos. You see you can't tell the difference.
However, Wike had to beg Igbo leaders inviting them privately to commission houses. He even paid huge amount to leaders. As a punishment, Wike have been dressing in Igbo attire exclusively since then.

Again, Wike issue is an in house issue we will resolve. Leave it, it's a family matter.

You see and you people are here claiming Ndoki but didn't raise a finger in their defence.

Very good initiative... Just remove my Ndoki people.. Remove Echie too... We don't care about Ikwerre..

This is however one of the best drafted.... You people had the sense to remove Delta Igbos from this draft.

We the Igbo and Biafra Nation are fully behind you once you sort out that little glitch. Long live your Republic.

GreatBoss:
Even Oro and Ndoki leaders have met with General Ditari and the Ijaw Republic Liberation Movement Militant Forces, say they are Ijaws and should be carried along in Ijaw Republic.
Oro is under IYC today also.
Same with Aminadokiari (Ndoki).
Oro say they are Obolo Ijaws, Ndoki say they are Ibani Ijaws.
The new Central dialect formation that the Lovers of Ijaw Nation work on, will give Ijaw perfect Central dialect as we work towards the full actualisation of the Ijaw Republic.

See we support your quest for your Ijaw people. Please but don't invade on other people's land. Take your ijaw wuth you. You can take Edos alongside but please don't ever mention our Ndoki again. We are sounding this warning. Face your Ijaw people and be with your Ijaw people..

I don't care about Oron and Obolo, but I am sure the Ibibio and Ibom at large will deal with you for planning to take their people. They already have their Ibom Republic in motion.

Graysons:
There are ijaws in Ondo state and when the time comes they will be merge the ijaws nation, if you think ijaws are going to leave our people for you useless and good for nothing savage yourba apes then you are living in another planet cause that won't happen.

How did they jump several states to Ondo state? They are strangers...who came to fish and were allowed to be on the shores. This how you guys started dragging Ogun and Lagos state.
Again, you people started claiming Ilaje and Egun that is bigger than you as Ijaw.

This doesn't look good on the Ijaw minority group. If OPC did not annihilate you guys in Ondo and Lagos what would have been your fate?

Well, this is not my business...my own is, you can mess with Yoruba but you must behave yourself when it comes to the Igbos. Other minorities no get this same wahala. Thank you Mr. Minority.

Captain8:
guy, just mistakenly go and harass one Ijaw person in ondo first.. please.,.... we will go and arrested that your akeredolu and gani Adam and put them in our prison in the Creek

Daily minority noise making. Una want make Yoruba annihilate una. Urhobo and Ibibio is greater and got more population than Ijaws.. Ijaws do not have one exclusive city they have developed in the history of humans.
Not even one city and Una dey drag with Yorubas.

Sergio101:
will they believe??

They will always make unnecessarily noise, whereas there's urhobo that beat them hands down.

Sha their assumptions only makes them more stupid

They know it. even Ibibio is bigger but them no dey give wahala and they do not go around claiming people's land and other people.
If Urhobo were to have their state today, they could have up to 11 plus LGAs exclusive to them alone where the native language will be Urhobo. Ijos do not even have only $ or less LGAs exclusively where Ijaw is spoken in their so-called home state of Bayelsa. It makes them feel so small.
Ijoh minorities wahala too much.

GreatBoss:
I don't need to answer you, come to the Headquarters of our Ibani clan(Bonny) and claim the Ibani people as Ibo, and we will sink all stone ibos in the river, you foolish man.
Opu Nama!!

Everyday minority wahala. Urhobo is bigger than Ijaws, yet them no get all these wahala.

GreatBoss:
Ijaw is bigger than Ibo in population.
That your useless false population why didn't u guys use it and swallow Nigeria already.
You think its empty space Ijaw use and spread enter into more than six States, without other tribes entering our centre, while Ijaw occupy many local government areas in each of these states.
Only Egbema clan alone have over 350 villages and settlements under it.
Do you know how many towns are inside my Ibani clan?
Are you the ones to be telling Ijaw people who they are, and who they are not.

Useless ibos.

We heard you minority Ijaws. we will look into the cries and complaints of you minorities. For now, can and first build a city where the language of communication will be Izon language first.

GreatBoss:
Frustrate from now till tomorrow, that will not stop Ijaw from being ijaw.

Everyday minority wahala. Go and build a city for yourselves first. You are the only minority group without an exclusive city to yourselves. Build a city where Izon or Ijaw is the main language of communication. When you do, then we can talk.

GreatBoss:
Is Amayanabo the Bonny and Opobo King title an ibo word?
Or do Ibo have Kings In the olden days?
How come Bonny and Opobo are in all Ijaw socia-cultural organizations finima and all other Ijaws belong, and they are not even in one Ibo own.

Oga, get the dirty looking map off the internet, You could not even package the thing small... Why are you people so savage and uncivilised?

SlayerForever:
They are successfully excluding themselves. But one thing remains sacrosanct though, all Bini descendants will go back to Bini. Agbor to Igwuocha is Igboland and no man born of woman can change that.

You see this cleansing of fifth columnists unknown gunmen are doing, when it will get to Ikwerre turn o ga-adị mbada egwu. Pin this post.

The funny things is, if you want to scare the living day light out of them, go to their forum and say, "I saw the Biafran map and Ika was not included", Igboid you can confirm this with me, all of them will cry and shout that they understand and speak Igbo and they are Igbos that they must go with Biafra. This had almost 3k comments of them crying and accusing Igbos from the SE of favouring aniochas and oshimili people and excluding the Ikas.

@Igboid, you can check out the reaction with Ukwuani, some9one showed them a map including Aniocha and Oshimili and excluding ukwuani, these guys were raging and accusing Igbos of always marginalising them and excluding them and leaving them with Nigeria or Niger-delta to die. It was very hilarious. The identity crisis died for that minute.
Well, I give it up to the Ikas, they know how to play their Igbo, Delta Igbo games right.

Igboid:
Finima people are Sierra Leone Ijaw refugees.
We don't really care about Finima.
If you all remain peaceful, we let you be.
But if you try to drag Bonny main town itself, that we consider Igboland with us,we will not spare Finima for you. Once we are done claiming Bonny, we sail to Finima and deport all of you to Bayelsa.

So, you better not start what you cannot finish.
Your Hausa-Fulani masters will be well caged up North to come to your rescue.

So you believed that guy is from Finima? LOL.

Ebi2233:
Ijaw is more than Ibo in population.

Go and claim the Ijaw areas physical.

I don hear. Everyday, minority wahala.
