Guy calm down ad understand English.

Your even d one emotional or tribalistic bcz I said sth diff ur interpreting anoda tin
I didn't tell you yemi alade is not Igbo.
I even ask a question that what makes her Yoruba and nt Igbo since she's both half Yoruba ad half Igbo?
Angelina kidjo is half Togo half Yoruba but first Togo cz of ha dad.
To Nigerians she is still Yoruba.
Likewise yemi alade is Yoruba first but also Igbo to ha moms side too or if she decides to chose igbo

well said, but 99% of our Nigerian Artists are crap...You just mentioned the good 1%(Timi Dakolo, Waje, Asa, Dare etc)
& unfortunately, the good artists are not "popular".
how many artistes are in Benin apart from Angelique Kidjo? You don't need more than 1%...it's just one award.

As regarda angeline kidjo, her mother is of the ethnic Yoruba people in benin republic and not Nigeria.

oh please! Whatever happened to artistes like Dare, Simi, Timi Dakolo, Waje, Asa and Bez.....it's not as difficult as you lot like to spread to find quality artistes in Nigeria. If the American White people Grammys have refused to acknowledge them because they only see Angelique, doesn't mean we do crap music. Angelique is the safe choice that they're used to

Save for Wombolombo, Angelique is mostly not on the airwaves, not every white endorsed thing should be worshipped.

seriously

I don't give a fvck about Yemi Alade and what she calls herself, you can claim her for yourself for all I can care. Anyone can claim their parent(s)' country of origin, that's nothing new. Angelique kidjo said it herself that she is Yoruba and half-Nigerian with a Yoruba mother from Iseyin, has aunts and extended family members there, with extensive roots at Abeokuta, Oyo and other parts of Yorubaland. Who the hell are you to dispute her? If you can't live with that here's a noose, you can help yourself.

I always love the way and manner the Benin Yorubas speak their own Yoruba, just too funny and kind of sharp.

Obama became american president by virtue of his mum's nationality.
Ramsey noah dad is an isreali yet Ramsey is a nigerian by virtue of his mum.
Yvonne okoro of ghana movie industry has an igbo father but claims Ghanaian because of her mum.
The eku edewor I told u to browse about has an english dad.
Tiffany potter's dad is igbo but she runs for u.k because her mun is British.
People of mixed ethnicity/race tend to choose the nationality they best identify with.
Its not ur duty to choose for them.
All the examples u sited above are irrelevant because it's still the same nationality, they remain nigerians.
Let nigeria splits and see how the story will change.

I never said kidjo's dad is yoruba, I don't know what brought that up.

ItsBolaji:
you see you still dont get the point.

My point is ‘LeaveTrashForLawma‘ meaning must NIGERIANS FEATURE ON OYINBO DEM AWARD? The award is obviously for their ‘whatever they are singing‘ music so rapmike I hope you dont really rap bcoz this mentality will make you another Mode 9 in Nigeria.

And what's wrong with Mode 9's songs? Is it that he is copying others or what? Cos I don't get it if you are about to say that Modenine is crap.

I am not even a fan of rap not to talk of rapping. I just like the way my current moniker rhymes.
