So True.

Let's not forget that Godfatherism also help the music industry to a large extent. A Nobody could be picked up by a record label and before you know it he is a star. They finance him/her all through. This record label are still doing it till today e.g mavin, Ybnl

It's so hard for pure talent to breakthrough in the music industry in Nigeria today. They have scattered everything with money. One guy with money will just come out and shout rubbish. Push the rubbish with money and the the rubbish will be in top ten.

Kennis music are the ones that shoot Nigeria to the International scene musically. Shoutout to 2baba.

In Religion, Tech, sport, Finance, Entertainment, power It's the turn of Africa to shine.

And as it's time for African AWA LOKAN. NAIJA

That being said,we need to addressed the songs passing out wrong messages to our youths, kids and wards out there.
You listen to some songs and can't just shake your heads in disbelief shocked

For examples :
How "Kala, Daju, Wuwa Ika" (Stay aggressive, vicious, and perpetrate wickedness) emits the mouth of a musician who meant well for the society beats one's imagination.
Laudable it is, that few among these artistes pass awesome messages, address societal issues and make giant waves across the world, but the vast majority sing to inculcate bad morals.
No good message, no morals. Just vibes, beats and bushwah.

Cyber faud has become latent among Nigerian youths. Nigeria loses about $500m yearly to cybercrime, according to the Nigerian Communications Commission. Sadly, this accounts for 0.08 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product. A major contribution to this: bad music! Songs like 'Cashapp' by Bella Shmurda, 'Living Things' by 9ice, 'Am I Yahoo Boy' by Naira Marley and all sorts have all preached nothing but cyber fraud to (un)suspecting youths.
The ban summoned on these songs by the National Broadcasting Cooperation (NBC) could only curtail their play over the air, the songs have done great numbers over streaming platforms.
The more the listeners, the more potential cyber criminals.
There are hundreds of these immoral songs released weekly and monthly by Nigerian artistes, little wonder the pride of most youths now rides on cyber fraud.

Like the Gombe State 16-year-old Gabriel Michael who was apprehended for cybercrime on September 4, 2019, and revealed he was inspired by the music and lifestyle of Naira Marley. Hear him: "The lifestyle of Naira Marley, the way he spends money, influenced me. Marley talks about being a Yahoo boy (cyber fraudster).
My addiction to computer started at the age of seven." Millions of Michael have slipped off track, no thanks to indecent Nigerian songs.
The ripple effects of Nigerian Musicians over youths, indeed, pose a grave concern.


We hope they change and give us good songs we can dance and vibe to and not glorifying fraud a d fraudsters.

Must you always plagiarize? If you don't have ideas why not just keep shut than copying other people's opinions and passing them as yours.

When I see people talking about how tiktok, instagram, social media influence the whole nigeria music and made it more opened to the masses (upcoming artist) to thrive on. I quite agreed with them but one thing they always forget is to give accolades to the two men who made it possible before those app came noticed.

We all knew how the nigeria music industry operated in the early 2000s, ( 2 decades ago) it was controlled by different cabals who called themselves record labels, from kennis music, square records, storm records, mo hit and some other few. if you don't belong to any of the aforementioned you can't get a collaboration not to talk of making it big in nigeria. they were many upcoming artist then who were so good but was never heard of because soundcity refuses to play their songs. Them never play kennis stars music finish, na you when dey ojulegba...na them want play?
Radio stations were delibartely turning down upcoming musicians record tapes except you got connection to pull some strings.

Then came wizkid and Davido, they changed the entire music scene from the hands of this cabals and the monopoly they practiced. like so many wizkid was signed to eme record when he was still a teenager. he spent few years and left, during that time alot of upcoming artist saw that they could actually thrived, since wizkid did it, davido did it within a short period of time they could also.

That was the end of the Godfatherism in the nigeria music entertainment. so many of them old school musicisns with likes of dbanj, 2face were forced to retirement home! thumbs up to wizkid and davido they made the industry opened to everyone because they practically decentralized it and they forever have my respect for that.

Brother, Include Olamide into that category as well. The guy is a legend!

I think Badoo should get the accolades more.

You can link Davido with I think Don jazzy when he started

You can link Whizkid with Banky W

But Olamide Badoo was rejected because of his style of music by the bigwigs in the industry. He went to hustle for a year and sponsored himself to stardom.

To me Olamide Badoo is the hero, he let other upcoming to believe that they don't need cabals.

Wow! The Nigerian music industry is heavily polluted. Nonsense and useless things are celebrated, songs released these days are either talking about drugs, sex, prostitution or yahoo. Nothing decent anymore.....remember the days when 2face, Soundsultan and the likes were singing real songs. Not the nonsense playing now

So before these two, nobody did it? Was Duncan Mighty, Timaya and Flavour signed to these labels before they made it? Aside that, the cabal you talk about is still there till tomorrow. Is it not the same cabal Kizz Daniel complained of? It took Olamide's YBNL signing Asake for Asake to break through. You think say na today Asake start to sing? The point is cabal or no cabal, record label or no record label; you need to be good and consistent to remain relevant. The two ppl wey you dey praise sef dey part of the cabal.

Na Internet and online platforms save the day.

During the era that you mentioned, there was no social media or online streaming platforms to showcase your work. So u had to leverage radio stations and show promoters. And the labels have these guys at their beck and call already....It is just like what the skit industry is doing to nollywood...with Internet you case showcase your work by yourself and get the mileage/popularity u deserve...all the skit makers who are now acting cinema/netflix movies won't have had a chance if not for social media....respect to David and wizkid bit the real deal was the Internet

CRITICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ONGOING CONTINOUS VOTER REGISTRATION EXERCISE

There is currently an unprecedented surge in INEC centres in the State. Unfortunately most of the people who turn out at these centres have no need to visit the registration centres if they are well informed. We have therefore decided as part of the INEC sensitization exercise to provide the following critical information to the citizens about the ongoing exercise.

1. There is nothing like PVC validation. The PVC card does not expire and does not need revalidation. If you check your PVC, you will see that it does not bear any expiry date.

2. If you are a registered voter but want to �������� to another Polling Unit, you can do that online. You need not waste your time at INEC registration centre.

3. If you are a registered voter and wish to ������ your records, you can do it online. If it involves change of name (like for married women) then you are expected to upload evidence of change of name.

4. If you are a registered voter but your card is ���� or ������� and needs �����������, you can do it online.

5. Only two categories of people are actually required to visit INEC registration centers.
(a) ��� ������- Nigerians 18 years and above who have never registered before.
(b) Registered voters who have had issues with Accreditation in previous elections.
These are the two categories we need to capture their biometrics.

The online transaction link is
https://cvr.inecnigeria.org/

(i). Click on the link, register as a user, and use your login details to proceed with what you want to do.
(ii). When you log in, you will see the following activity windows.
- REVIEWS. Click Review Information and proceed.
- TRANSFER. Click Request Transfer and proceed.
- LOST OR DAMAGED PVC- Click Request New Card and proceed.
The portal is interactive and friendly.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEER ASSISTANTS.
Stakeholders and members of the civil society who are ICT savvy are encouraged to volunteer to assist others in their communities or neighborhoods to help decongest INEC registration centers so that we can focus on new registrants and registered voters with accreditation errors.

(PLEASE help share and circulate this information).

The bolded is a big lie.
Olamide has been popular before being featured by Wizkid.
“Eni duro” single released by Olamide put him into stardom when Olamide was with ID Cabasa.

Your analysis is shallow and typical of the indomie generation, though I agree with some of your opinions
