Honestly, how do you expect anyone to show any interest without any pictures except a 3D flyer and payment information?

SuRiUno:
Hey, @MedLabGirl,where have you been hiding,

She's recuperating from the long work shifts

Medlabgirl:
KennyG surely you could have thought of a more original name rather than plagiarising that of the musician we all know too well.I bet you couldn't I.D a saxophone if it walked up to you and introduced itself. Open your eyes! I gave you the link per the original story; I even went as far as to talk about The Sun newspaper fleshing out old dinosaur bones, but I guess that one went right over your head (smirk!), yet you still think it is recent news. Na wa for you!

Oh and while I'm at it, @lafile; Stop trying to sound smart. You read my post already and are now trying to act as if you had all the 411 long time. You just try take over the whole old story angle. Na wa for you too!

@Medlabgirl
I can see you are fascinated by my name. Initially I was mindful of explaining to you how my name 'KennyG' is appropriate but reading your posts I realized you are in a state of agitation .

The rich young ruler came to Jesus and he responded by saying to him “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” (Matt 19:21)

Was he telling him to rid himself of riches while he actually had them himself ? Was he asking him to be poor? Was he teaching him seed faith?

People wake up! The Lord does not need your money, he’s more interested in our heart, our time, our life.

Dr Ekemode must be having a great time checking out all these girls.

Very true this same scheme is definitely going in Nigeria even as we speak.

You probably have heard about Madoff.

I came across this write up which I find to be so true. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way.

@ Kenny,

You mean you are confused as per Lagbaja's brand of Music? Are you confused as per Femi Kuti's too?

Lagbaja is heavily grounded Music wise, and i think he deserves more respect, you really don't have to compare him with the likes of Genevieve, Omotola and even Tuface.

Lagbaja started off with Pure Afrobeat (much of comedy and Africalypso) and is purely african, remember his African tour with the likes of Papa Wemba, Youssou n'dour and co.

You said makosa is sung in English - was that a slip of keyboard?

Before Fela was IK Dairo, if you check Encarta encyclopedia, you can read up about the great guy, he was in the British Royal . . . and Michael Jackson is not even there A great man in his department.

Another popular local Nigerian Artiste is King Sunny Ade, need I introduce him and his world tours?

And many of our highlife legends like Victor Uwaifo and co nko?

Nigeria has loads of local & original music but sadly, most have embraced the western culture in the last 7 years. We have Juju and Fuji as the major ones and thanks to Daddy Showkey, Galala (mixture of Ragga and local spice).

Do we want to say Obesere and KWAM1 aren't original enough, what about Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, Kollington Ayinla?

I can remember the Makossa craze hit Nigeria in 2000, don't know for how long it's been around, with the Sensual dance steps that go along with it, why has Juju and Fuji craze not filtered into other parts of the world? Surely not a question of originality.

Don't forget Makossa is Congolese and mostly french. French is a very popular language, can't be compared with Yoruba or Igbo or even "GREAT" Hausawa. Sex sells and so does sensual music (Obesere is a living witness to that). Personally, i do not appreciate Makossa, it's good music, but to me, i'm more on the hip hop side, preferably hard core Rap, or sensible rnb or Country or Rock. You can see how hard it'll be for someone like me valuing "commercial" music.

So i don't think the "faithful", true to the origin artiste are being fake. I think they need more publicity, besides it's harder for UK artistes to make an impact in the US, how much more that of a "Yahoo! corruption - dented image of Nigeria"


I'll tell you why Fela was mostly popular. He was popular for what he stood for - the Truth. Most of his songs were thought provoking, like Bob Marley and that puts people like Tupac in their shoes, people who sang of freedom of the mind and fought against the government - indirectly. Besides the three are dead which makes them even more popular.

I dey feel you bro, but as original as old Oliver De Coque, Victor Uwaifo, Barrister, Salawa and co were, where are they today? Trust lagbaja knows what he's doing, remember "Konko Below?" It's just a matter of time.

@Christino

I do not see how most of these musicians can be singing when they are into their forties unless they make the change now.
