when you see matured men you will spot one without searching too far .

uwaifo shld go to hell.2 Totally different songs.BECOS THE SONG DON BLOW YOU WANT TO REAP WHERE YOU DID NOT SOW

Tolexander:
Baba, your "Joromi" and Simi's "Joromi" are two different songs and genres. Though of the same title.

I think the man invented the name "joromi" or have u heard or seen anyone with such name, the name is "fictional". If so he has the right, I stand to be corrected sha.

88natzy:
Plagiarism can be broadly defined as the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work.


Take them to court though !!

Show me how and where his song was plagiarized.

Simi didn't remix ur song sir she just used d same title with ur own.....

Buharimustgo:
I am not sure they know,surprisingly some people above are supporting him

They know, they are just being thieves.

The ones supporting the pirates have never had their work stolen hence their comments

He did not invent or coin the word. Joromi was a popular slang back in the days for a fashion style.

Why is he just telling us.
Does he not have lawyers?

Wise words Sir Uwaifo...twale!

yanjutomi:

you need to listen to both again.

I keep saying it... The biggest pirates in entertainment industry are Nigeria artistes themselves.

If it was in western world they wud have paid hugely for infringement of intellectual property

maybe sir Victor Uwaifo invented the name "Joromi" or he's aging so he can't really hear properly..shame**

I nor understand. When jaywon take remix im own

what u said doesn't follow...... Recall, Robin thicke was asked to pay $7m just 4 using a line of one old school artiste track

So all songs titled Caro or Mama in Nigeria are copied or what? Simi didn't use his beat or lyrics.

They won't pay for _shit. Show me any line, lyrics or beats from stolen and plagiarized from Sir Uwaifor's song.

KendrickAyomide:
.This old man should be happy people are trying to revive his small legacy

smh 4 u

Hozier:
Simi and Jaywon did not remix Sir Victor Uwaifor's song, that their songs bear the same title with his song does not mean stealing. Except the song title, Simi's Joromi is completely different from Uwaifor's Joromi.

And as much as I know, there is no where in law where a song title can be copyrighted.

You are very wrong. Simi's 'joromi' is a rip off of Uwaifo's 'Joromi'. She used 'Uwaifo's' chorus in her song and even appropriated the title.

Hozier:
Show me how and where his song was plagiarized.

Nigerian veteran singer and former Commissioner for Arts and Culture in Edo state, Sir Victor Uwaifo has accused Simi of allegedly remixing his song ‘Joromi’ without due credit and permission.
The bolded is a copy right infringement.

kelvinreality:
When did Simi remix your own version of "Joromi".

The title of your song was similar but the content was different.

It's the same lyrics, tune and melody. Joromi jo mi jo.....

The build up is different but the parent work deserves acknowledgement.

'joromi jo".... That aspect is 100percent uwaifo tune

She did not use Uwaifor's chorus in her song, not even one line was used. Go back and listen to both songs again and clear your doubts.

Just look at the first 10 comments.... Nigeria youth are just empty headed

even his guitar tune sef dey d song. They probably didn’t pay attention to that part i guess or their ears are playing tricks.

I don't understand how people reason. Is it that they haven't listened to the two songs? Simi very obviously copied Uwaifo's song in her chorus.

In saner climes people have been made to vomit millions in settlement for things like this. If you as much as copy a line without permission, you'd be sued and made to pay.

"joromi joromi, I want u to love me... JOROMI JO"....the capitalize part says it all

Wise words Sir Uwaifo... twale!

the tin just Taya me sha..... Nigeria youth, especially nairaland ones are just empty brained

raquel23:
even his guitar tune sef dey d song.

Don't mind them. They are used to all these rubbish Davido and Burna boy lousy music that they are gradually becoming tone deaf

The man is right oo, he is a father to all young musicians and as such he should be respected.

blackwood:
Simi did not remix his song at all, song title might be the same but both songs are different.

Joromi is a trademark. If she were abroad she will pay.

He hasn't listened to Uwaifo's song that's why he's arguing blindly
