We were all Africans before we got separated into individual nations. African history and migration studies confirms that there is more that unites us than divides us. As the big family that we are, we all draw diverse creative inspiration from one another - no wonder then that we have similar cultures and values across the continent, and this cross-pollination is clearly shown in our music and sound. With the advent of the modern day nation-state, each independent nation is uniquely gifted in order to contribute its quota to the overall status of Africa's entertainment and creative arts scene. To do this, we must support each other in equal measure. Our brother nation Nigeria has done very well to mark many of the biggest milestones in the entertainment scene and is putting Africa on the global map due to the strength of its population (amongst other qualities.

Accordingly, our Nigerian brothers must consider that with their great power comes the responsibility of helping to forge a united African front by deliberately allowing music from the other African countries which pollinate Nigerian music to flourish on Nigerian platforms on local and international levels. This approach will enable the African sound to dominate the world as one big family and as a global force... That's how we stand as one Africa.. My brother Shatta Wale's approach may be wrong but the topic of our brother nation Nigeria not reciprocating the love and support it receives particularly from Ghana is valid and deserves critical attention. Meanwhile, as the saying goes, we must love our neighbours as we love ourselves (not more than we love ourselves). This means that Ghanaians home and abroad must emulate the Nigerian approach of prioritising an agenda to invest in and support Ghanaian talent.

Our African neighbours are jealous of us .

1. Dec 22 2020 a Cameroonian comedian called Pancho Cy openly called for the complete ban of Nigerian music in his country. He claimed Nigerian artiste are beginning to have a strong fan based in cameroun, he cited lots of examples and instances where the Cameroonian populace now prefer to listen to Nigerian songs rather than their indigenous Cameroonian music even in wedding ceremonies (where they prefer to listen to Ada Ada by Flavour).

2. Dec 15 2020; a Uganda artiste named BeBe Cool ensured Nigerian musician Omah lay, Tems and their producers Muyiwa Awomiyi were arrested and locked up for 2 days,after a sold out concept which the Nigerian duo were supposed to perform , they were accused of flouting the COVID 19 rule, around that same period a video surfaced on Facebook showing a Ugandan musician rejoicing over their arrest and claiming that Nigerian musicians made more money than them during COVID period even in Uganda and so deserves to be arrested..It took the intervention of the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs before they were released

Now fast forward to this Shatta Wale's issue,,,

This guy has a general beef for Nigeria artiste, if you doubt me, kindly visit his Facebook page and watch some of his videos,you will discover that he is always making unhealthy comparison between the Ghanaian music industry and that of Nigerian... Before his recent outburst,he dropped a video where he advised Ghanaian ladies to stop celebrating Nigerian artist.


Still typing make I rest small..

PetroDolla2020:
To be brutally honest with you, I don't even know what the fuss is all about. Ghanaian musicians are still very popular and they are making good money. shata wale lives like a king here in Ghana.

The point is that if nigerians artistes come to Ghana and there are no deliberate attempts to promote Ghanaian artites in Nigeria, then the relationship cannot continue. I won''t be surprised if all these nigerian artites are not invited to Ghana in the future. In ghana, the people get what they want. and if the consensus is that nigerian musicians are not needed in Ghana because Ghanaian musicians are also not getting that opportunity, then that is it. chikena. nothing spoil, abi?

PetroDolla2020:
LOL. where have I been? Prosper, let's leave it at that,huh? I won't say more that this at this time

Hahahahaha There's one topic that was created here by a ghanian, the dude said the first time he enter Naija, Lagos to be precise, he was shocked with the beauty and everything in Lagos, he said Nigeria is magnificent.

Hermes119:
Thank you
I've listened to their A list artistes especially the recent ones kidi,kuami Eugene,king promise,Wendy shay and the rest these people will have to seriously up their game if they want to break into the Nigerian market and the world infact especially considering the level of competition amd talents we have . Nobody would let you headline shows if they aren't show that you will draw massive crowd,. There is no sentiments about these things.
Nigerians prefer watching the premier league that has lgbt flags all over the place over the Nigerian league because of the difference in Quality.
This stuff is pretty simple I can't understand why Ghanian artistes are asking for the impossible

PetroDolla2020:
You see prosperity of countries are not measured by the 'beauty" of their cities, huh? the prosperity of a country is measured by how well the people live.

why do think norway is the richest country in the world? is it because norway has the most beautiful cities? Hell no. I'd been to norway many times and I often tell my norwegians friend that Oslo is not much different from Accra

Find out the ingredients that define the wealth of a nation. And when you find out, come back here and let's continue our chat. you'll be shocked by how low nigeria is rated

[s]Fuckeduppedness Give me one reason why a Ghanaian will be jealous of a Nigerian?
Is the mass kidnappings in that zoo? Today, Nigerians can't even travel, go to farms. even buhari doesn't feel safe in that shiithole
Is it the mass poverty which has made your country the poverty capital of the world?
how many hours of electricity do you get in that shiithole?
what is life expectancy in that zoo?
how many nigerians have jobs today
15 million nigerian children are not in school., roaming the streets and being groomed to become boko harams, kidnappers, robbers and pr0stitutes oh dear oh dear heard even your president is still looking for his primary school certificate[/s]

PetroDolla2020:
you mentioned what shata wale and stoneboy said, right? how does the views of two people represent the view of a country of 30 million people? shata wale said some thing, stoneboy said something. and then you will sit somewhere and conclude that is what Ghanaians are saying? does it make sense to you?
I am here in Accra, nobody is even talking what shata wale said of what stoneby said. it is all being blown up by nairaland and some you gullible and naive mudder fuggerx ae just swallowing the nonsense and posting crap!

new year is just around the corner buhari is planning to lift petrol subsidy in nigeria. what are the implications for the average nigeria? why can't nigerians talk about more productive things instead of talking trash upanddown?

You wrote, "No one cares about Nigerians..." No one still means Nobody (with no exceptions!) the last time I checked. Yet, stonedead and shata wacko are literally yelling NIGERIA!!! to trend in Naija's cyberspace! So, is your education not defective? And you seem to be a bit abreast of happenings in the Nigerian political landscape (out of obssession & for trolling intents!) when the average Nigerian kid only knows ghana is just another W.A country! .
My conclusion: you, shatawacko & stonedead are no-ones & nobodies.

Prosper123:
Then, let's leave. The way Nigerians castigate their own country has made other countries to think they are better off. It's not true. We have issues, like every country. That's just it. I just visited Cameroon last month, I saw many Nigerians there, even working and selling in their markets. Some have lived there for years. But is Cameroon better than Nigeria? No. Except for electricity.

mediainc:
Beef...Ghana benefits more from Nigeria, than vice versa, our market is bigger than Ghana's...you people must learn how to beg politely.
Support Nigeria, buy Nigeria, Nigeria first. That Wale boy ain't no Shatta,he is a monkey.

Blackfriday:
Y'all still don't get it

Ghana top 20 chart, has just 2 Ghanian artist there, everything is dominated by naija artists

Ghanian music promoters pay naija artists to come perform in Ghana is not for charity, they are business men and it's evident they can stack their money on naija artists to cash out on their country men, than put that money on their fellow Ghanian artists.

Y'all are quick to forget

Sakz, VIP, R2bees, that one corner guy, stoneboy, etc enjoyed great airtime in Nigeria, I listened to kidia bisa a lot but can't anymore because he doesn't have the content anymore.

Let your artists step up their game and see if Nigerians won't jump in to invest and promote them

Entertainment is business and not a charity show

PetroDolla2020:
the truth is bitter, huh?

PetroDolla2020:
yes, you got a point. Music is business. But trust me, if you carry on with that line of argument, don't be surprised if your artistes get kicked out of Ghana soon huh?

whether you think the Ghanaians have a point or not, you better listen to them because they will ultimately get what they want. Yes, the people of Ghana will always get what they want because it is their country and they determine what goes on their territory.and you can'rt fault that.

so is it not better to find a way to make everybody happy, instead of carrying on as if they don's have a point?

Guy you read waiting stoneboy talk before you dey comment. You no see the difference between the stone boy and shatter wale messages

Blackfriday:
LOl.... Naija artists can't and will never be kicked out of Ghana market because even for your promoters, IT'S BUSINESS

You have just 2 Ghanian artist on Ghana top 20 chart, how do you think your music industry will fare, when you kick Nigerian music/artists from Ghana

Y'all should live with your reality.

PetroDolla2020:
The problem with nigerians is that they know how to lie to themselves. They've told themselves lies over the years and are still telling themselves lies today

A typical nigerian will tell things that will shock outsiders. and yet they can't even give you one fact to prove anything. At best they will forge and manipulate numbers to suit themselves and their whims

Nigeria today is not a rich country. Indeed, if the truth be told, Nigeria is a very poor country but how many nigerians will accept that?

why do you think other countries are doing better than Nigeria? Many African countries have accepted their realities and are working assiduously to improve the quality of lives of their people. but nigerians are still living in lies. They tell themselves their country is rich when in reality the are poor. They will tell themselves they are hardowrking when in reality they are very lazy and criminally-minded mudder fuggarx they will even tell themselves they are smart and handsome when in reality they are as ugly as funk

you guys should change your ways ooh, so Baba God can have mercy on your country Nigeria shouldn't be like this now but you guys will keep lying to yourselves. no wonder your country is going down. and please don't blame Ghana for your situation,huh?
