The problem with you is that you do emotion but I don't. I face reality as it is. Why are artiste of Yoruba Origin more successful in the music industry today? Why is Yoruba the dominant language in the music industry today? Why are their movies the highest grossing today? Apart from Sabinus, how many comedians based out side Lagos are super stars? Mention them and compare the number with lagos's.

Get away with your silly childish emotional tantrum and let mature people discuss issue jare.
Even sabinus had to move to lagos before he bagged his major award.And that very night,he appreciated lagos like no other!

Lagos factor that's all. And the tribe that contributed to the present Lagos Yoruba that is quite different from the Oyo Yoruba.

The ijebus, egba and awori are party people who love social events alot. Entertainment is a serious business, these are the major tribe that lead to the Lagos Yoruba dominating everywhere.

The Oyo varient Is not popular. I think Its the Lagos factor.
Besides I think yorubas have more citizen in diaspora so it's easier for Yoruba music to go father than the rest.

The slave trade also, I've heard someone say in Trinidad Tobago Yoruba culture is obvious amongst the black there, I don't know how true it is.

Benin republic speaks Yoruba, Togo speak Yoruba also Liberia etc.

Besides the language is simple to grab from slang.

I mix my Yoruba with some Igbo word because I'm used to hearing Igbo also.
Are u saying most of what we see are mainly achieved by Lagos Yorubas?

Does that mean other ethnicities aren't there? Aren't they making effort to take much out of opportunities that Lagos has to offer? Which ethnicity outnumber others numerically? Which ethnicity is ruling the state? Don't be insecure like him, sir?

So because other ethnicities are within lagos, does it make it their state?
I don't support tribalism but lagos is a yoruba state with other ethnicities living in it.

It’s just like saying Anambra is dominated by Igbos just because Fulani live there. There is no concept of domination of yorubas in lagos because nobody else can dominate them in their home

See, you people should stop making a fuss over non issue. Who told u people cannot be dominated in their home? I can give u a couple of examples but I don't want to derail from the topic.

Even phyno no blow until Olamide feature am Nigerian music is owned by yorubas even if you be Igbo you must speak or say Yoruba slang. But Igbo make good music as at then I was at some bar listening to high life Oliver the coke Osadebe, now they have no successor all of them won hit big money business.

How can you use the word "dominated"? When it's literally a YORUBA LAND.

Can you say Anambra is dominated by the igbos or kano is dominated by hausas

Name one Yoruba Art making waves during Gej and yardua ..

And tell us why their language and movies was not making waves dominating the airwaves and social media

Tell Yoruba man truth.. he go bring tribalism join

Power to the people
Are you seriously dumb or just clowning
Dbanj , wizkid, Davido , 9ice , Olamide Badoo , Tiwa Savage, Sean tizzle, Banky W, Wande Coal etc no dey when Jonathan dey rule ??

You are obviously not the sharpest tool in the box grin cheesy

You epitomises the dumbness of the average osu.
How does federal power help Yoruba dominate the Nigerian entertainment industry?
Is there anyone greater than Fela in history of Nigeria ??

You should continue doing enema for Atiku with your tongue; that's the only thing your single digit IQ is capable of grin grin grin

PS : The Yorubas are currently ruling nollywood as well ; an entertainment sector that was previously dominated by the Igbos .
