Seriously?? Some Nigerians are just terrible. I pray and hope you never battle depression.

Spot on, any pm I recieve, I use the steps you listed except for number 2.
E - hugs dear.

If this is true, then Teebillz has chronic depression and needs help ASAP.

Ghost01:
I'm correct, am I not?

I don't know...

haryomikun:
Ahh! Lobatan... Listen extensively to afrobeats bro. You go dump your country music

Afrobeats tracks are kind of evergreen. You don't get tired of listening to them

Been listening to Femi Kuti's Sorry Sorry for the past two months and Good time by kiss daniel since last year december. Just can't get tired of it

I'm not a fan of country music, I'm ROCK all the way, and for every genre, there are evergreens', and for the record I am a lady.

Ghost01:
Lol. Okay then. Olamide ft Mz Kiss - Who You Epp - Afrorap; Falz ft Simi - Soldier - Afro-rap/sung collaboration ...

Ori e

Lovely Ladies, Big, Bold and Beautiful. #BBB

Ghost01:
Hahaha... Genre of Nigerian songs? That one go hard o.

Well, let's say Karishika by Falz and Phyno is rap, Melo Melo by Olamide and Love Don't Care by Simi belong in the pop category, Flavour's Ada Ada is pop, Mama Oyoyo by Yemi Alade, Iyanya, et al. is pop ...

Ayaf tried o jare.

Haan, I was waiting to see afro pop and anything with the prefix afro-

KingRex1:
Yh i guess i'm a purist when it comes to country. The old way is better, it was the real thing. You know its country just by the instruments even b4 the vocals. Now its just like hiphop or rock. Maybe that why the artistes arnt making so much waves even with numerous tracks.

I think the "deviation" happened to most genre of music, it happened to rock. Most genres evolved giving rise to "meaningless" sub genres, but as long as the basics are still there, they'll retain their parent genre.

haryomikun:
Good bro. Although I have been looking for someone who can properly teach me Nigerian music genres and give me specific instances

You do a great injustice to African music tho. You didn't mention afrobeats and juju.

Afrobeats is my very favorite genre!! I can smell it from afar away. Am sure I can give sub genres of Afro beats sef. Sub genres that haven't been officially classified by anyone in Nigeria.

For example, Good Time by Kiss Daniel, African waist by Tiwa savage (not the the whole part of african waist tho)

Awwwn, good to know people who love afrobeat, I listen to very few Nigerian/African artistes and I can't really tell their genre by just listening to the music, ghost 01, ya help is needed.

The solutions you gave are wonderful, but the crisis might still linger because the Government is inept.

This man should just stop granting unnecessary interviews and WORK, or is that too hard??

Drchristian:
see grammatical bluder..u nor go sch. at all?

Yours is worse #sipsgreentea

The Struggles Lawd, is effing Real.

We blame him because:

1. He is the President of the republic of Nigeria.

2. This issue of Fulani herdsmen is claiming lives regularly and it is spreading fast.

3. The presidency "controls" the Police force.

4. He hasn't condemned this act.

KingRex1:
C'mon wer u that naive?

Yes, I was that naive.

What a useless tirade against the South, this articles doesn't make any sense at all, when you place the South Economy vis a vis the Northern Economy in all spheres, one of them is ahead and therein lies the answer to your question "why".

callmelanner:
This is an extract from the comment in the first post and I see some sense in it

***
1= ur first ex date died in 2012 = cool
2= ur second date died in 2014=cool
3= ur third date died after three years of ur relationship 2014+3 years it should be in 2017

this is where i got down from ur cheap lies
And still u date another one that died 9 days ago. Baby lies
u would have solved ur mathematics very well before this lie. ***
Lemme join my own, so after 9 days she moved on right? Is that even psychologically possible?. only if she is the murderer of those handsome dudes

Brilliant, #clapsforhim

Her story doesn't add up.

A fantastic song writer and a good singer. I think he modernised/ modified his name from Tayo to Taio. HBD Taio Cruz.

Ghost01:
Country.
Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, The Band Perry, Florida Georgia Line, Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, Faith Hill, Brett Eldredge, Dolly Paton, Reba McEntire, Zac Brown Band, ...

Woow, that's good to know, I haven't seen a "young" country fan in a long while.

I'm repping dark skinned ladies, pictures would be up in a moment

GregDouglas:

So, what's your favorite genre??

Ghost01:
Fuji music: Artistes: K1, Pasuma, Osupa, ....
Apala: Haruna Ishola
Reggae: Lucky Dube, Majek Fashek, ...

See his teeth, which is your favorite?

Some Nigerians though, building 5 "mega" bridges in just 2 years is development. We aren't ready.

VictorRomanov:
U didn't add:

RAP (rhythm and poetry): combination of spoken words (poetry) either fast or slow and rhythmic beats:

Instrument: voice, piano and drums
Artists: Common, Jay Z, Naz, etc

R&B (rhythm and blues), similarly to blues but with a more defined and repeated beat (rhythm)
Instrument: piano, bass guitars, drums
Artist: R. Kelly, Beyonce, Brandy, etc

my opinion "bruver"

"I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.” ~ Billy Joel

We all love music or maybe some of us. We wake up to it every morning and fall asleep to it every night. It soothes us when we’re stressed and picks us up when we are down or depressed.

For music lovers, wouldnt it be good if we pay a little closer attention to what you’re listening to?
Let's take a look at some of the common music genres.

Alternative/Indie Pop - It is characterised by subversive lyrical content and it is usually cryptic. It is neither " a here nor a there music", it is somewhere in between a metal rock and a punk music.
Instruments used : Acoustic/ Electrical guitar with drums.
Artistes: Twenty One Pilots, X ambassadors, The Fray.

Jazz - It is not a "nodable" music and there is a great emphasis on the instruments used, therefore, it forms (the instrument) the heart of the song.
Instruments :Saxophone, Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Drums
Artistes : Duke Ellington, Miles Davis.

Pop - It refers to popular, mainstream music with emphasis on a catchy melody and accessible style.
Instruments : Drums and your sweet voice.
Artiste : Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Madonna.

Metal - An extremely loud music in terms of instruments used while the vocals are drowned.
Instruments : Bass Drums, Acoustic Guitars
Artistes : AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin.

Rock - Rock is basically pop with lots and lots of guitars and drums too.
Instruments : Electric Guitars (with distortion), pianos, drums.
Artistes: The Foo fighters, Aerosmith, the dandy Warhols, Muse.

Blues - For blues...., it is hard to tell, lets say a smoother version of pop but with lots of drums, i think.
Instruments : Guitars, Drums
Artistes: Eric Clapton

Classical - It consists of everything classical.
Instruments - vocal, piano, orchestra
Artiste : Beethoven.

Electronic: It involves complex rythymic beats that are produced with "technology" to generate a funky sound.
Instruments : Mostly Keyboard
Artiste: Diplo

Gospel - they always have rigious themes/ expression.
Instruments: A little of any/ every instrument.
Arristes: Don Moen, Tom Inglis, Alvin Slaughter.

These are in my opinion, the basic genres of music with a lot of subs, from the write up, you can deduce my favorite genre, what's yours??

When students at akoka was protesting against this, you guys thought it was a joke eeeiii? You guys should start a protest.

Uniben or OAU has the highest number of nairalanders.
