Simi Is In Trouble For Stealing From Me - Prof. Uwaifo

Days after her boyfriend, Adekunle Gold, called out Nollywood for using his songs without consent, legendary musician, Sir Victor Uwaifo, has said singer Simi is in trouble for "stealing" his intellectual property, 'Joromi'.

Professor Uwaifo's recognition soared when his song 'Joromi' became a hit in 1969. However, he says the song has now become a victim of intellectual property theft as Simi failed to give credit to him when she released her own version in 2017.

Uwaifo made this known in an interview with SaharaReporters at the Annual General Meeting of Copyright Society of Nigeria COSON, in Lagos.

The former commissioner for arts and culture in Edo State described copyright and Intellectual property theft as a very serious issue in Nigeria, saying it must be dealt with urgently as it is reducing the creativity of the new generation of musicians.

According to him, the process of making music has now significantly changed from what it used to be in his time, as “more mediocres” are now in the game.

Baba respect yourself oooh

All to gain relevance... SMH

Well simi should just give him 10k, just like tekno did for danfo drivers.

The word joromi is not enough to claim infringement
You don't have to bring ppl down to be relevant again

typical nigerian youth... senseless

really sad that old man knows his right better than Nigerian youths..this is why Ur politicians see youths as fóools

Some times we are blind to our own faults. Adekunle Gold one my favourite Nigerian musician had called out Nollywood for using his song without his consent whereas they used joromi without Sir victor Uwaifor calling them out. Sir Uwaifor is calling them out because they did same and he left them alone

lol..old man no wan sempe.

Jokers .... You better get someone to educate you about what qualifies an intellectual property and stop fooling around.No patent nothing.

What should KSA now say to the no of artists that have remodelled his songs

He should go and rest..... Can he patent a name? Both songs are like night and day, in comparison.....

What a disgrace to Nigeria. Please how many presidents do we hear always leaving their country to another country for medical checkup.

Nigeria president going for checkup in UK is a big shame to the country as a whole. If the Nigerian president is not confident about the health care system in his country, then I wonder about the masses that can't even afford a trip by bus to neighboring countries.

The number one citizen of a country finding better health care outside his country and leaving those he rules to die in the country.

We are coming for all politicians soon. We will end all corrupt lives by all means. It is a greater war than that of the child's play Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen are doing but we know we will be fighting a greater course.

All level of government will be wiped out and the humble shall rule.

We are getting ready to what has never been seen before in Nigeria. No Level for any useless cabal from the presidency.

This is just a brief information for what is expected.

Baba wants to take pisshur too?

our artistes are becoming lazy and uncreative..I just listened to teknos track 'jogodo' and realized her host lifted the chorus from the track of the original singer .... this is a big offence and our useless youths are bashing mad melon

live adekunle wife alone oh

FSolar:

Nigerian youths and stupidity

I thought he said last time that he has forgiven simi? Why bring it up again?

I never knew he will take it seriously.. I think he and Simi need to have a little talk

Sir Victor jeka Simi o

The copyright for the property Jeromy should be over 25yrs hence, I don’t think that’s property theft. I’m probably wrong though.
Lawyers in the house should throw more light on the issue.
