It is interested to know that Nigerians now
completely prefer to listen and dance to #Nigerian music. Before the
arrival of the likes of Prime Time Jams, STV, Rhythm FM and the other
children of the radio world, Nigerians listened and danced to only
American #songs. Nobody cared about your studio hustle.
The electronic media gradually forced Nigerian #music down on us like a mother gently forces a shirt through the big head of her child. Today, we don’t even remember how we fell in love with Nigerian music. How can you enjoy yourself in a party where the only songs being played by the DJ are American? I don’t about you , I will just plug my earphones on and turn on my Naija playlist and nod to songs by 2face Idibia, #Wizkid, Eben, #Timi Dakolo and other legends in the making.
Many Nigerians have said that the Nigerian music sector lacks contents. They blame the musicians for saying rubbish on good beats. For instance, the contents on the songs of the likes of Davido and #Olamide are either meaningless or ‘bombom’ and cash oriented. The fact that Davido is making millions for saying things like, ‘ I get many kele… many want my car but their money no reach’ is ludicrous!
The problem is, these kinds of Singers are the ones excelling in Nigeria. They are the ones smiling to the banks; they are the ones getting all the product endorsements! Davido just signed a two-year endorsement deal with Pepsi.
