he makes more than them.
big companies always pay bigger otherwise why would d'banj cheapen his own brand for peanuts? it's funny he's the only one getting all these mega investments from international companies while your twins are left with crumbs from the dining table.

you need to travel out of your cocoon to understand. the biggest company paying big for endorsements in africa is globacom & d'banj has been their ambassador twice. no artiste can beat d'banj's brand in the whole nigeria.

try again.....

u lack a sense of understanding...no one is arguing who has more endorsement deals...its easily dbanj....but all tru his career, dbanj has never had any deal above 100milla....talkless of 240milla deal psquare had.......i dare u 2 prove me wrong......1 deal 4rm psqure covers like 5 deals 4rm dbanj which is usually below 50million naira or slightly above...... dbanj has more endorsement but dat alone dsnt mean he's richer ,

when judging a musician's networth.....u judge 4rm album sales/ shows/concerts/tours/properties and of course endorsements.......

While dbanj had more endoresments and possibly made more money 4rm dem , psquare made more money 4rm everything else ranging 4rm albumsales to shows to concerts to tours and even more valuable asset... and lets not 4get d extra 1million dollar 4rm kora.....

When u add all these up....u wud see why psquare should b easily ahead of dbanj......arguing against facts just make u sound silly mr coogar.
Anyway i didnt xpect less 4rm a bias dbanj fan tho.

coogar:
this is 2015!
i don't argue with serial wänkers like yourself. if you dunno the value of performing at glastonbury or being an ambassador for beats by dre in africa then there's no point dragging this. you are myopic - nothing can change that even if we argue till year 3000.

there is no sense in arguing 4 a figure u only hav up in ur head...u hav this flawed logic of bigger company always pay bigger which is flawed as hell....i wont even go into details on dat seeing as how u hav no proof dat dbanj makes as much as psquare.....except ofcurz d insanely huge figure dat only exist in ur imagination.

iamboody:
U keep saying whats the value of the deal Dbanj got. There are certainly some deals you dont need to know the value before u know its going to be huge. What is your source that Psquare got a 250million deal with GLO? Did Glo announced the value of the deal or did Psquare make official anouncement? U got this from blogs written by non informed youth like most people here so stop makin reference to that. Am not supporting anyone but the fact remains Dbanj has a better brand than Psquare or any artist in Nigeria. He has a better good will asset than Psquare. Forget Dbanj is broke news, do u really think somebody will borrow Dbanj 60million without collateral? Who does that pls? Not even a bank. Then if that happens it shows he has a very strong goodwill of making money, 60m no collateral it shows how big your empire is. Having said this i think Psquare are makin cool money too. am not arguing who has more money but am arguing that Dbanj has a better brand than the twins. Mind you that better brand brings better cash.

wrong mr...more fans means more cash....and psquare obviously has more fans.....endorsment dsnt come everday so the brand thing u talk about is not enough reason 4 dbanj to make any where near d money psquare has.....they hav d highest fan base in africa.....when an entire continent got ur back....then u know u are d boss when it comes to making real cash.

Look.at the music industry as the relationship between a p1mp and his b#tches. Artists (including one hit wonders) come and go, but the producers thrive. Successful artists find ways to write and produce as well. Endorsements? Yes. But artists are paid for shows. Guess who gets the bulk of that money? Are you aware that some artists do not own their songs? Yep. That's the nature of the beast.

In.the case of samclef(never heard of him), some people call themselves producers just as every "mom and pop" store owner refers to him(her)self as an entrepreneur.

i roll wit people who knows people in d naija music scene cos am an upcoming act myself....and bliv me when i tell u.....d money a producer charges for a full album.....wud b easily b recouped by any top artiste who goes 4 just 3 shows.....and are paid like 2milla per sow......producers makes peanuts...they only hav one stream of income.....artiste...makes money 4rm everywhere........only a failed artiste wouldnt make as much as a producer.............no look donjazzy o.....d dude has a record label...so he collects his own share 4rm all of em.......

prelinctus:
Thank you for this post. The point is 'How much was he paid?'. The guy might have been paid peanuts. At least when psquare got the 250million naira glo deal, it was all over the news. He claims dbanj got glo deal twice, so how come the amount of the deals didn't make news? It's because it was peanuts. Dbanj that is going about begging upcoming artistes to do a remix with them.

my guy dnt mind dat ode coogar jor.....just hyping dbanj like say na jay z.....even dbanj go fear coogar hyping sef........he 4gets d fact that in show biz , it isnt where u go dat matters....but how much u are paid....its all about d money.....i wud rather perform in a village and get paid hugely.....than performing in d biggest stage and given peanuts as performance fee.

Coogar am trying rili hard 2 understand where dis ur stupidity is coming 4rm i just dnt understand......

How can an educated man like u bliv things u arnt so sure of(money gotten from beats by dre and bank of industry).........and ignore facts of a supposed better deal (psquare's 240milla deal and 1million dollar kora win) and still come here arguing bullcrap like dbanj is richer?..

Where is the sense in this? And its fools like u that wud b d ist to scream tribalism when things dsnt go their way.....u concluded dat d only reason am supporting is based on d fact dat am igbo , i cant even begin 2 tell jst how stupid dat sounds..

Its no news to everyone , infact its general knowledge to everyone that psquare is richer than dbanj, how many people on this thread as disputed dis fact, if not 4 dat other dude and urself

i know why its hurting u tho, and am glad its hurting u like crazy, argue all u want.......but as long as everybody who knows anything about music says psquare is richer then dats where we stand.....

I repeat again...EVERY LIST ONLINE SAYS PSQUARE IS RICHER THAN DBANJ ...SO IT MAKES U POINT USELESS. Maybe u should go steal billions of naira so u can help dbanj surpass psquare.......

Fools like u wud know d truth but still pretend like dey dont........making baseless claims and hyping crap instead of stating facts.

fuckerholic:
Don't mind them..as if na so the money dey flow like water..the richest among them (psquare) don't even worth up to 5billion

shebi u sef agree say psquare na im rich pass.....i no know why dat bias man coogar just no one admit d truth

Take the number and divide by 10.

OP thinks there is a positive correlation between viewership and net worth.

The people making money are the producers. Only a few artists do scale through.

No Nigerian artist is worth N1 billion. It is

There you have it.

how do producers make more money than artiste? A producer only makes money when an artiste goes to work wit him.......an artiste makes money 4rm shows, album sales, endorsments, tours, concerts...etc.. U cant even compare......didnt u see when samclef was telling d world how wizkid dumped him and how frustrated his life in d industry has been?

coogar:
you don't have enough wisdom.
how did the p-square boys make the music video that launched them into limelight for KORA to notice them?




for these simpletons, it's not about facts....its a tribal issue. d'banj is yoruba & they are igbos - so the igbo man must win.

bush folks.....
comparing an african artiste that met jim iovine to the ones whose biggest investments are loya milk & globacom.




business is different from business.
you cannot compare d'banj's endorsements to any other artiste in nigeria. beats by dre is now under apple & d'banj is the only african ambassador. apple made more money last year than any other company in the world. biko, leave local champions out of this matter.



d'banj's endorsement for bank of industry easily eclipsed the figures you have quoted here. d'banj has also been an ambassador for globacom twice.

do the math!



this is irrelevant to the discourse. even the twins would slap you themselves for comparing them to d'banj. the kinda people d'banj is rolling with are on another level. go and do your research - d'banj performed at glastonbury. i repeat, glastonbury!!!!




be deceiving yourself.

dude ur argument dsnt make sense...u keep saying shit like dbanj is an ambassador 4 bbd but how much was he paid? ...bank of industry? Oh plzz , how much was he paid?.......u keep pulling crap outta ur ass to argue 4 dbanj wit no proof.....show me figures man not overhyped bullshit.....if a big company endorses u 4 little amount and a small company endorses u 4 a large amount which endorsment is better? People who know shit abt what happens in d industry and keep tabs on things like dis are telling u psquare is richer and u are here arguing bull shit......glo has never paid 240milla to any naija artiste ever...so dnt even go there...dbanj deal is not even up 2 50 milla...even if dbanj performed in GLASTONBURY it dsnt matter, it all boils down to, HOW MUCH WAS HE PAID?.....and dats just one show....lets even assume d money he got 4rm dat show is huge.........psquare goes to 3 shows and bamn! Dey hav stalemated/eclipsed d money db got 4rm d glastonbury shit.........and u wud b a fool if u argue that dbanj goes to more shows than psquare.......

When u show me figures of how much dbanj was paid 4 bbd and bnk of industry.....we can chat....until then ur argument is declared ...NULL AND VOID! AND UR POINT USELESS AND IRRELEVANT.

coogar:
what has his music career gotta do with the business side of things? was 50 cent the best rapper in the world when coca cola made him the richest rapper in 2007? was dre the best rapper when apple made him a billionaire last year?

i already told you d'banj is not even 10% as talented as the p-square twins but that's not the issue here. we are talking about their income & their brand. focus on the brand, leave the talent or the number of mouths to feed out of it.



d'banj owes a company?
which company? you nigerians make ms laugh. ;Dyou believe rumours than the gospel.



i am not even a fan of any of them. i only listen to rap music. the facts are what we are addressing here and d'banj's endorsements tower over any artiste in africa. even though he cannot sing, he's the one people are paying to see.

his "top of the world" music was used as ACN theme. one of his tracks "bother you" was also used as a sound track on chimamanda's half of the yellow sun movie. talent doesn't necessary translates to money - the brand is the key. kim kardashian has no talent see where that has got her. don't let d'banj's hatred becloud your senses.

he's the #1 in nigeria.

what part of psquare has made more money than dbanj dnt u understand? U talk about business part like its only dbanj who lookout 4 dat....so u think psquare being full blooded igbos that they are. Happens 2 b fools that boycot investments and depend solely on music all these years? Without creating multiple streams of income? Even i wouldnt b dat stupid, which makes ur argument 4 dbanj null and void, psquare signed d biggest endorsment deal in nigeria and possibly africa, they also won 150million naira for being the best african acts 4rm d korra awards , dat makes 400million without even including their music career and investments, yet u want me 2 bliv sum1 who is being called out for refusing 2 refund his debt is richer than these dude? Rili? Coogar rili?


, lemme give u a line 4rm psquare songs......
ITS GOOD 2 B SAVING 4 RAINY DAYS, SO AM USING MY SENSE TO DEY GATHER D PROPERTYS.........
..
When u understand d above statement, u wud know why psquare wud always b richer than dbanj

coogar:
how much is N240 million?
if your generation cannot touch that then blame your ancestors for leading a pathetic life. d'banj had close to £2m pounds in cash before he decided to take his music to nigeria.

this was why he landed in nigeria with his own record label, his own studio, etc. he was never at the mercy of anyone when he released his first album.....unlike 2face/p-square etc.



we are talking apple, you are talking beer company in an african country. you are very shallow-minded.

lola struggled to marry peter cos that's her babyfather. lola was an oil company executive when p-square boys were still struggling to earn a living. why are you sounding like she's a gold digger. if anything, it's the p-square twins that must have used her money to make music videos back in the days.

am a fan of apple as much as d next guy but dat deal alone cannot make db richer than psquare, especially when u dnt even know d amount involved . And b4 dat deal psquare was widely regarded as the richest in nigeria by a huge margin....dbanj music career has gone downhill, tuface obviously has lots of mouth to feed.....which leaves psquare easily number one.....psquare also commands more money per show than any nigerian artiste and has investment all over the country besides music, and jst when i thought dbanj is easily d 2nd, it turns out that he's owing some company.....which means he actually needed to borrow money to sort/set up a business....which means he's not as rich as we bliv, especially since he hasnt denied any claims, dude i know u are a dbanj fan and d truth is bitter but accept it, psquare and dbanj no b mate again, psquare are more talented, better singers, better performers, more successful, more fans, better music and has more hit songs. In other words, THEY ARE FARRR RICHER THAN BROKEBANJ

coogar:
he's 6 times richer than p-square.
they don't have his brand. if you know what it means to be the only african ambassador to sell apple's beats by dre product in africa then you would begin to understand.

the gold design was exclusively made for d'banj in africa. it was d'banj that told apple that gold symbolises success in africa & his name is written on every product of that gold version. you think this is loya milk endorsement or indomie noodles? abeg, park well. p-square twins are praying to be where d'banj is at the moment.

stop writing bullshit....psquare is more successful than dbanj musically or otherwise, they also have 2wice as much fans as dbanj, if anything, the youtube videos alone speaks volume, over the years, psquare has been d most consisitent artiste in nigeria possibly africa.....did u see psquare shows where fans were fainting? Who has fainted cos of dbanj? Stop typing bull crap if u dnt knw d details of deals like...dis......ok lemme ask u.....how much was dbanj payed for being an ambassador for beats by dre?

coogar:
d'banj's beats by dre deal is worth more than every kobo p-square has earned from their various shows. d'banj's brand is far global than p-square. you dunno what you are talking about.



240 million?
d'banj had more than that before he left the UK for nigeria in 2004 circa. was d'banj not a glo ambassador twice? how much is N240 million?

i cant bliv u just asked '' what is N240million?.....has ur generation ever had such an amount b4? and girl4rmspace is right, psquare is obviously richer than dbanj. Isnt this dsame dbanj who is owing debt here and there? Or is ther anoda dbanj u know of that i dont?

I agree with what Stinggy said......just go there without buying her any gift and let her see it on ur face that u aint happy wit her.......if she keeps bugging u about the gifts while showing little concern as 2 why u ar sad or possibly gets angry with u 4 not buying her any gift, drop the chick like a bad habit......cos she dsnt give a damn about ur feelings...she's in it 4 other things.

zendy:
One of the reasons why you can see Igbos speaking Hausa and Yoruba but almost never you see vice-versa is because Igbo is the hardest to learn amongst the 3 main languages. Most Yorubas only know "kedu" in Igbo while most Hausas don't know any Igbo. I know Hausas who have been selling ciggertte and Suya in Enugu for years but don't know a single word in Igbo!

dude there's no such thing as hardest language...all languages sound alien to those who dsnt understand it, its until u put ur mind 2 it thats when u understand it.....igbos make it a tradition in learning the languages of whatever states they reside in, thats why they cud speak their language....my mum aint igbo but because she lived in d east for sometime, she cud speak igbo to the extent u wud think she's igbo, its wasnt until i turned 10 years old did i findout dat my mum aint igbo.

ONE THING ABOUT IGBO PEOPLE IS THEY ARE QUICK IN LEARNING THE LANGUAGES OF OTHER PEOPLE.....MOST IGBOS IN LAGOS CAN SPEAK YORUBA..THE ONES IN D NORTH CAN SPEAK HAUSA AND ALL DAT...BUT U CUD BARELY HEAR A YORUBA MAN SPEAKING ANY OTHER LANGUAGE APART 4RM THEIRS, ITS LIKE THE YORUBA BRAIN SHUTS DOWN WHEN IT COMES 2 LEARNING OTHER LANGUAGES.......SO IGBOS ARE MORE VERSATILE WITH LANGUAGES THAN ANY OTHER TRIBE IN NAIJA............just saying.

zendy:
Please don't make me laugh. It is actually a very rare thing to see a Yoruba person in Igboland (with the exception of civil servants who have no choice with their postings). However,it is a very common thing to see Igbos in Yorubaland,even inside where they do their 'Orisa'

correct!!

splashbaby:
Painting lies and repeating them as if they are true. All the dense population in Igbo land are on scarce land of Onitsha, Aba and probably Owerre. All the rest are rural dwellers living in small groups all over the place.

Compare that with massive urban dwellers all over Yoruba land from Lagos to Ibadan, Abeokuta to Ilorin, Ondo to Ogbomosho, Akure to Oshogbo, not leaving out towns like Ilesha, Akure, Ado, Ijebu Ode, Ikire just to name but a few.

You claimed Igbos travelled a lot I agree but they are more Yorubas in diaspora than Igbos, if we are to count that we will need two countries the size of Sudan to accommodate them.
Two countries in West Africa Togo and Benin have Yoruba as the largest ethnic group...just because we have few noisy Igbo men selling provisions, crayfish, spare parts and cloths around towns in Nigeria do not make them twice as much in population of their host town...in major towns in Nigeria including your Aba and Onitsha Yorubas control the taxi industry, wood industry and the engineering/building industry. It's a common scene in Port Harcourt to hear Yoruba spoken on the streets and in taxis.

yoruba the largest ethnic group in benin and togo? Dude ar u kiddin me.....av made my research and nowhere was this ever stated.....so where did u get this facts 4rm Or did ur grandfather tell u dis?
