While some have tittered behind their fingers and turned their noses up, others have been more vocal in the expression of their utter disbelief. Brymo took to his twitter page to take shots at the claims.

Below is the opinion of someone who agrees with Brymo.

We all woke up this morning to a news, that i believe was sponsored for marketing purpose, of Flavour’s new album, THANKFUL selling 1 million pieces in a week. While i have 1 million questions to ask the marketer of the album, Obaino Music Inc, their phone number was not available since i found the news online until the time of this report.

While it is fairly possible to sell 1 million in a week, i find it rather disapproving for Obaino to say it has sold 1 million copies without proper statistics.

In the United States and Canada, Nielsen Soundscan and Recording Industry Association of America track sales and they are both independent bodies not a marketing/distribution company. The two companies collect data every week and make them available every Wednesday to subscribers, which include record companies, publishing firms, music retailers, independent promoters, film and TV companies, and artist managers. Obaino however a distribution company has FAILED to send out data to any of the above channels which has made it’s claim disapproving and far-fetched.

The KEY question i would love to ask Obaino is what they count as SALES, the number of disc it has shipped out to the world is not equal to the number of SALES it has made on the album, rather the number of disc that has gotten to the CONSUMER is the number of sales. A chain of distribution is not completed without the CONSUMER. How did Obaino calculate the number of disc that has been purchased by consumers? I didn’t get a receipt when i bought mine, the disc don’t come with serial numbers, they don’t get scanned by disc seller after been dispersed, how did they count?

I will save my 1 million questions for another day, however until Obaino give some explanation i find their claims BOGUS.

One man that knows more than i do about music distribution is Brymo. He reacted to the report via his Twitter on Thursday.

Until Obaino provide data, at day 5 on who purchased, where, when, i will continue to listen to Bed of Lies by Nicki Minaj while minding my business at the same time.

Brymo later apologised, after the damage had been done. Lol (Although i do think the apology is rather tongue-in-the-cheek )

Be that as it may, whether it is true o, or whether it is not true o, Flavour is basking in the glow of his success and nothing anyone says or thinks will change that.

Awon bad belle

Ok

I knew it was all marketing strategy.

1million cd sold,where,and when?

Brymo is right on that,after-all production isn't complete till the goods get to the final consumers.

Obaino is just a marketer who thought other distributors is the last link in the channels of distribution..

1million cds in one week to the final consumers,is what should be counted..

Next.

Are u referring to my own Brymo, I mean our own brymo....wey him prick no get shoulder?

Do people still buy CD's ? When I can download dem with BB and send it to who ever I like.......... If I reason well please hit LIKE

E no easy to control jealousy o.brymo go and face your own songs o.

1 million album koorh, shay dz 9ja wey everyone be economics student, na free dem dey download from music from tooexclusive, U go come waste N200 buy album, album wey na only hin family buy, dem dey say 1million copies!!

Hmm. I See

He's just a hater. Why is he changing the topic already, wanna feel good, huh

Brymo wey suppose dey play sango role for Yoruba films too dey talk...

i dont think this is possible in Nigerian market for now! Hit the like button if u are with me.

Sleep dey sweet oooo.

Lol...If annita19 the superfan hasn't yet carried out any form of auscultatory tests on the album, then methinks his claims are certainly disputable. Hmm...Nigerians and lies look an inseparable pair. Gotta run now before the tinfoil hat brigade deploy to this thread.

OK

plz na go sleep na biko bu.

Flavour wey no get upto 200k followers on Twitter too dey sell 1M copies, life don spoil oo

Drinking medicine for another person headache......how e take Concern u Eeee. Him sell, Him no sell.... Is noon of ur Biz.

Brymo mine ur biz

hmmm....ok...we don hear

Show business = Lie business!
The world of make believe!
Believe whatever you 'see' or 'hear' on TV and/or on the radio at your own risk!

Bia Brymo mind your business...busy body

Obaino is confused at the moment. Better still, dat was a promotion strategy. Good morning/night

I believe that lies shld be challenged, so as not to allow such reoccur.

Am a fan of Flavour. But Obaino nwanne should take it easy biko. Who and how was this record kept? Am not saying it's not possible the point is it may be or not,but we all know Nigeria and particularly music industry keeps no record! So who and how was 1 million sales record in 5 days achieved? It could be 5 million in 5 days it could be 5 thousand in 5 days. The point is Obaino should chill with unsubstantiated claims. As for Brymo bros abeg enter studio cook something for the few wey be your fans abi na the finer points of statistics na wetin dem go chop?

What is brymo? Sound strange to me from tokyo

OK o.

Haha... The sky is big enough for birds to fly, bring out ur own album first after which we'll be concerned about how many copies we'll be told it sells in hours.

U don't need to come out and say anything coz we (most) of us knows the truth. Ur words can be easily misinterpreted as hating on the album (artist and success) that's if it's not the case.

1million copies kor, 1million naira ni...

Hmmm
