Celebrities › Re: Burna Boy Is Undeserving Of Being Labelled Great - Patrick Doyle by TheGift: 7:36am On Sep 01, 2023

shonepa:
Hes communication skill is the best...na ur problem if u not deep.

Don't even try to question my depth, talk less of compare it with Burna. It's kids that will think Him deep.

FYI, I was referring more to His communication off- music such as during interviews and while posting on Social Media.

But even when it comes to His music , I leave you to what Rolling Stones had to say:

"The album would have gone off without a hitch if Burna hadn’t decided to close it out by taking a shot at the people in his home country. On “Thanks,” an admittedly club-ready Afropop number, he accuses his fellow Nigerians of being ungrateful for what he’s done for the country’s image. He admonishes his fans for calling out his various misbehaviors, which include allegations of his bodyguards shooting at a man whose wife refused his advances at a famous club in Lagos, his deplorable treatment of the fans who attend his concerts in Nigeria, and his most recent miseducating opinions on the Afrobeats genre. Even worse, he does this without offering anything to suggest that he’s grown or learned from his past. What Burna seems not to grasp is that most of the criticisms thrown his way aren’t attacks. What he continues to find difficult to understand, despite his incredible talent and staggering self-confidence, is that, if he bothered, he could come to terms with the lines between his actions and the reservations people have about him personally.

Burna Boy seems unable to distinguish criticism from hate, and such surprisingly shallow reasoning threatens to leave a bitter taste at the end of this project. I Told Them… might be a triumphant sonic adventure, but its creator remains stunted, refusing to grow."

All I have to say is be careful of Pastors and stories from your past like this that is not lining up to your relationship with God.

More importantly be careful about pastors that are comfortable taking to other people's Wives and giving them prophesies about their husbands and family members.

Finally, I won't tell you to be careful about Women who are more easily swayed by what their Pastor said than what their husband is saying.. Selah!

Truly Burner can be arrogant sha but I'm so blinded to see any of all his faults.

I think Burna Boy is more ignorant than arrogant, it's His ignorance that brings about His arrogance. He also lacks communication skills.

APC can keep pointing one finger at the opposition, while four fingers are pointing to their Lord and Master who is the only one that can bring this matter to a simple close. Except that He is hiding something.

Atiku is the one demanding His records, but it is Peter Obi and Obidients getting all the blame. Confused clowns.

They concentrate on certificate because the constitution concentrates on certificate. And if someone can lie about their certificate they can lie about anything, including their ability to perform.

The industry preceded Alaba, not the other way around.

Which industry? When you could count the tv stations on one hand? How many people were buying video cassettes of Nigerian movies before living in bondage? We were even still listening to foreign music and yabbing Nigerian movies.

Which were the first movies to go mainstream on DVDs, then on cable TV ? Certainly not the early Yoruba movies, but English speaking Nigerian movies. That was the birth of the industry called Nollywood. It was not just about making films.

Some people actually think that Nollywood started with 'Living In Bondage ' and 'Domitila'. Smh.

Aisha is even schooling them for free when they should be paying to recieve this kind of knowledge.

Everything about entertainment in Africa, from the first TV station to the first stadium etc, has its root in Ibadan, the heart of Yorubaland through the vision of our forebears. Thank you Aisha for the free education you are giving them.

Entertainment business is total package and it's bringing in billions into Nigeria through the Nigerian music, sports and film industry pioneered by the Yoruba and still owned by the Yoruba.

The chart bursting Nollywood films are produced in Yoruba but subtitled in English, Asake sings in Yoruba, all the Nigerian music Stars that performed at his UK show, including Tunde Baiyewu of Light House, are Nigerians and Yoruba with link to Nollywood. Most of those sound tracks in Yoruba films come from these Yoruba global Musicians.

Even Gospel musicians like Tope Alabi are connected to Nollywood while World Boxing Champion Anthony Olufemi Joshua, World Athletics record-holder Tobi Amusan, along with Odunlade Adekola, Olamide, Teni and others are Glo Ambassadors, Iya Rainbow, Lateef Adedimeji, Dele Odule from Nollywood as Airtel Ambassadors, with their faces all over local and international Nigerian entertainment contents sponsorship.

Yoruba started Nollywood when the rest of Nigeria and Africa had not even seen or watched a TV in their lives and the Yoruba still own Nollywood till date.

The Yoruba can teach others in Nigeria and Africa how they sustain this global feat and dominance of entertainment if others are humble enough to learn from the Yoruba. We are all Nigerians/Africans and we can learn from one another. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Many people here don't know what Nollywood is. There is a difference between making films
And building an industry around it.

Yorubas made theatre like films very early. But it was Alaba market and Iweka Road that made an industry out of it.

I can tell you for free that many companies have shut, have laid of staff or have stopped hiring in the past three months alone, thanks to the rising cost of living.
