Lol, if they are so diverse why are we bombarded with the same sounding musicans on Trace, ChannelO, etc?, why is that when your artists try to do something different end up doing Afrobeats again ? Your rappers end up singing bro! In SA it's different, AKA sold gold, Kwesta sold platinum, So did Nasty C. Our Gospel artists make crazy numbers, Our soul musicians too.

IronGalaxy:
So you don't understand what an analogy is?

IronGalaxy:
You aren't arguing anything

IronGalaxy:
Yes it can, in the same way, there's "African football" or "African Jazz"

IronGalaxy:
Actually, SADEC is mostly into SA music, A lot of East African countries too

IronGalaxy:
In Nigeria you are stuck with Afrobeat. Imagine if you were listening to that 24 hours a day! South African radio can play a mapiano track from Kabza, a rap track from Nasty or A-Reece, a soul number from Zonke, a rock track from The Parlotones etc , all within an hour

TMKsouth:
Amen.
Also African opera powerhouse

TMKsouth:
I remember telling Jace and XhosaNstra years back that I would witness Nigerians paying djs in Joburg to play afrobeats. And then we would be bombarded with "autotune" for an hour or so and then return back to House and afro pop.

I'm proud of SA though, we dance to our own beat over here (amapiano right now) - and not follow afrobeats like sheep as the rest of Africa is doing.

IronGalaxy:
Exactly. hence I say vocally we are unmatched. Where are Nigerian versions of Lira, Thandiswa Mazwai, Zonke, Unathi, Siphokazi etc? We are just bombarded with the samey type of artist that want to clone Wizkid and Davido. Where I concede that Nigerians got the game on lock though is that their artists think like businessmen, that's why Nigerian music is where is at right now

IronGalaxy:
Nigeria doesn't have the best Deejays since there's no dance music culture (I'm not talking about Shaku Shaku) I mean proper Deejays of Dance Music (House, Electro, Trance etc). It's no mistake we are regarded the world capital of house music. Same with our Hip Hop, we have been rapping since the 70's, There's an actual Hip Hop culture in SA (B-Boying, Graffiti, Cyphers, Skating) etc, the b-boying from Cape Town is probably the best in Africa. our rappers are unmatched as well since yours end up singing. Vocally again, we are unmatched, just listen to our gospel musicians...Is there anyone who's surpassed the legendary Miriam Makeba? why do you think The Soweto Gospel Choir has won the Grammy so many times?

IronGalaxy:
Not all this but also vocally, no country can match us on the continent! We got the best Djs, Dancers, Rappers, etc

TMKsouth:
Thats why u can't trust Wikipedia. They need to update it. Ladysmith Black Mambazo has 9 Grammy's by now (see pics). That's why I said over a dozen singing Grammy's in total for SA.

I think I've proven my point that SA is a singing powerhouse. You owe me an apology for comparing us to Benin

Emilokoiyawon:
So all these anti-Tinubu noise from iboes on NL is just noise?

TMKsouth:
1. And Cher's 'Believe' is not computer voice effect? It is.

2. There's a reason SA has 39 Grammy Awards (over a dozen for singing), we can sing! Our choral music, accapela and opera are rated among the best in the world. All u have in Nigeria is the vibe, and not the voice - hence the over reliance on autotune.

TMKsouth:
Thanks. Willing to help people with good vibes and respect. I'm South African.

TMKsouth:
That's coz it really irritates me. Remember SA is a singing nation and have been labelled as having very beautiful voices. So autotune (computer voice) is just an assault on our senses.

vankelvin:
I don't think so. Ghanaians do understand Nigerian pidgin well well. Nigerians rather have some level of difficulty understanding Ghanaian pidgin because ours is a mixture of English and the various local languages

1Sharon:
Where does it state most sub Saharan population are actually 99.8 % human ??

TMKsouth:
My former SA colleague was a huge fan of Asa back around 2010. I think that was the height of her success. She's a Tracy Chapman type, isn't she?

TMKsouth:
I said it's one of the elements I dislike about afrobeats. Clearly this is a touchy subject for u do let's drop it.

Zooposki:
Seems a lot of Yoruba people on this forum are starting to lose their sense of reasoning. Very soon all of you will form your own terror group like IPOB and Fulani Herdsmen. Good luck with that.

1Sharon:
Source?

1Sharon:
Home team history? ? That guy regurgitates we Wuz KANGS, hotep hotep baseless revisionist tripe.

Zooposki:
Well, I’m 100% pure human. Are you?

Zooposki:
Yeah, a lot of white people flooding this forum to perpetrate your agenda. Las, las God go shame all of una.

Zooposki:
Believe them to your own detriment. That’s how they shackled you like animals the first time using the curse of Ham to perpetrate their evil, and shipped you across the ocean to work for free on their plantation. Very soon, there will be a repeat.

They will say you are a primate and a Homo Naledi and enslave and work you for free. Shey they have a lot of Planet ape movies showing all the time now. Lol.

1Sharon:
How is an African American going to tell Africans about their own history, when they still think Africa is a country? Nonsense.

zhike:
Thanks a lot

Ogiamen means lord of water.
Sure, the Bini and Ife romance cant be written off. it will be against history to write it off. same way you cant write off the relationship of the Esan and Bini ( though both they fight for who stubborn pass - Lol )
This thing is very simple, Oranmiyan started the Oba dynasty, when he came from Ife, he met a well structured. state with chiefs, nobles and Kings. also He's the first Oba and 37th Ogiso. in Edo culture, kings are not made, they are born. if he like, make he London, the son of his sons will one day come back and be come king.

1.Oranmiyan didn't met savages in Igodomigodo, how did he become king without a fight?
2. Oranmiyan renamed Bini to Ile'Ibinu, what's the meaning of this word in Yoruba?
3. You don't know the history of a place than the king and indigene ( Oba affirmed the Oranmiyan Obaship Dynasty )
4. When you decide to enjoy history, you'll understand Africans weren't savages before the white men came

Which pidgin is making to oxford - Kiswahili is an international language - dont compare it with crap like that.

Kenyans speak better English - as near as British English as you can get in Africa - maybe outside parts of South Africa.

This why Lumumba PLO is all over Africa making money
