Baba, your "Joromi" and Simi's "Joromi" are two different songs and genres. Though of the same title.
"Joromi" is his copyright. Contents do not matter. That was why 50 cents changed his movie name from "things fall apart" to all things fall apart or so, Achebe didn't give him permission. Just the name alone does the work.

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

The build up is different but the parent work deserves acknowledgement.
Simple. I'm genuinely baffled how anyone who has listened to both songs can argue that plagiarism has occured

They won't pay for _shit. Show me any line, lyrics or beats from stolen and plagiarized from Sir Uwaifor's song.
Are u naturally stupid? Joromi is his copyright. Even if it is a fashion statement, he made it popular and it became his copyright. All your statements reeks of stupidity.

Indomie generation. When you tell them to get off Nairaland and go read, to broaden their knowledge, they will start cussing you, revelling in their ignorance with unapologetic glee.

Shut up slowpoke, you can't copyright a song title. Show me anywhere in law where you can or keep quiet.

Even in his death he should still be acknowledged, piracy is piracy, you can't plagiarize a paragraph and not face the consequences.....Simi, over to you
With all due respect to him,the only thing SIMILAR between the two songs is the title..

Nigerian youths are just ignorant. The stealing of intellectual property is obvious for all to see.
This is how dremo used Fela voice and publicly acknowledged on babyface show that he didn't take permission from Felas estate

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.
Did he patent the name JOROMI?..if indeed he originated it,which I highly doubt..

That was the first case that came to my mind too. She kept chorusing Joromi. Sounded so much like his song abeg. The guy said it's OK, they are still making mouth.

Did he patent the name Joromi? Did he invent it? Chinua Achebe has a copyright to "Things fall apart", does Uwaifor have a copyright to the name Joromi?

They know, they are just being thieves.

The ones supporting the pirates have never had their work stolen hence their comments
Which work,the only thing SIMILAR between them is the word JOROMI..does that equal piracy in your own book and did he at any time patent it..

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.
Thanks for sharing

Makes me wonder why 50 Cent's completely unrelated movie that was to be billed as "Things Fall Apart" had to get a new title.

There's more to intellectual property issues than meets the eye...

2018 Update: I hadn't even heard the song when I wrote that comment last year

Listening to it now, those artistes should be GRATEFUL to Sir Victor Uwaifo for his mercy

This song went beyond swiping the song title; even the "Joromi Jo" refrain is clearly "inspired" by Uwaifo's original.

IP lawyers in other climes have gotten fat settlements for even lesser stunts.

This man is truly a living legend. He probably doesn't want to drag issues with people young enough to be his grandchildren, but notwithstanding, these young thieves need to understand that piracy is a very serious offense.

Simi, take note

Lol... Many so called educated people showing their ignorance, most people think plagiarism is all about copying everything without referencing.

Funny.

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
Totally different,the case against Thicke by the Gay family was much more than the appropriation of a word..which Uwaifo didn't invent in the first instance..

There is nothing different about it except the voice.

Nigerian artist are so silly and myopic,it doesn't cost a thing to seek permission for a remix but because of warped mentality they want to play smart.
