d'banj and dr alban are not age mates, neither are they mates in music .D'banj is local Dr alban is international it is a priviledge for d'banj to even sing with Dr alban.Protocol what the mess is protocol if it was ludacris or lil wayne or any american musician for that matter that is not as big as dr alban (dr alban has sold 16 million albums more than both this artists)will he have told them to follow protocol.The long and short of it is that nigerians we dont appreciate ourselves Dr alban is regarded as a legend in europe.If u fools dont believe me just go to youtube and see the millions of views he has.dr alban collects 80,000 euros per show how much does D'BANJ collect per show 2 million naira.Dr alban has not released an album in almost 7 years yet he has no less than 6 shows a month now you do the math.As an african in europe in the 90s dr alban gave the african man a good image back then when most europeans thought we were savages.So d'banj as usual is just an arrogant fool.

And this is political

We need some moderation in the political section.

There so many stray topics nowadays

SEFAGO:

true. Remember its my life?

Precisely. He was a huge success, yet he was based in Sweden!

Here's one of his videos;

Let's be proud of who we are. If you are in the US or Europe, represent yourself. No fake names or accents, die with your identity.

Dr Alban should be Nigerias Next presedent  

Infact both him and haddaway are one of the two greatest pioneers of dance music. Dbanj na small boy- he should know his level na. Immediately you leave the shores of africa no one knows dbanj.

Some people go argue with you.

you see Yoruba people don't know their mate, they forget too easily

_{what did dbanj do again?}

Its not about tribe mate, its about being african- dr albans decision to proudly sing in the thick african accent was ballsy- I am sure if you live in europe/america you will understand how difficult it is to use your thick nigeiran accent infront of other people except fellow nigerians. Many atimes, i have seen people with crisp british/american accents who break into thick nigerian ones when they find out i am from nigeria. Usually my response is .

And guess what his music also sold too

I meant non-africans outside africa. It would be rare to see some european guy singing "booty call booty call" or "mo gbono fele fele" but I have seen a lot who actually like dr alban, and I have met a shitload who admire Fela kuti too

Maybe you are forgetting Fela. . .

Fela is another one of us that was very true to his identity, but became very well known in the West. In fact it is easy to see that, no fake fool has ever become popular outside our shores.

It's about tribe mate- i made it one like every bloody topic in here!  

The arrogant Yoruba boy had the ballz to say he is too busy for a collabo with the legendary Dr Alban!!,
can you imagine Danfo Drivers getting cold feet about a dance/club track??

Nonsense!

it's time we split up once and for all!!

Hmmm,.,.,., now i understand

donjon:

Please Explain the involvement of isoko.

Me sef be Isoko.
You want me to use Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo and become the new "tribalist" in town?
Wisdom says, use your own thing when the message is for everybody.

Na so for NL.

d'banj and dr alban are not age mates, neither are they mates in music .D'banj is local Dr alban is international it is a priviledge for d'banj to even sing with Dr alban.Protocol what the mess is protocol if it was ludacris or lil wayne or any american musician for that matter that is not as big as dr alban (dr alban has sold 16 million albums more than both this artists)will he have told them to follow protocol.The long and short of it is that nigerians we dont appreciate ourselves Dr alban is regarded as a legend in europe.If u dont believe me just go to youtube and see the millions of views he has.dr alban collects 80,000 euros per show how much does D'BANJ collect per show 2 million naira.Dr alban has not released an album in almost 7 years yet he has no less than 6 shows a month now you do the math.his songs came out 17 years ago yet its my life youtube 8 million views,sing halleluyah 5 millions views,no coke 4 million views.The irony of his all is that d'banj who thinks he is a star now ran away from europe because of inferiority complex he believed he could no break into the music industry so he ran back to nigeria Dr alban unlike most of our naija returnee musicians choose to stay and conquer europe and he did he has a No 1 song in uk what an achievement back in the early nineties when white thought we still lived on trees

I don't understand all this bile towards DBanj. What's wrong with Dr Alban talking to his management? This is business and if this is how he conducts his I don't see the problem

i have to complain what would you say if micheal jackson asked neyo that he wants to a collabo with him and neyo tell micheal to talk to his management wouldnt you consider that an insult for micheal jackson who is a legend.thats the same thing here dr alban is a legend and has giving nigeria a good image abroad.

LOL @ dr Alban

What's wrong with speaking to his manager? For what it's worth, let him have HIS manager speak to D'Banj's manager to hammer out an agreement.

What a douchebag to get all hot and bothered over an issue like this. D'Banj was merely being professional.

PS: This really should not be in this section.

I beg to differ, you are comparing apples and oranges. Neyo & Micheal are both international stars even though Micheal is the greater of the two, they are on the same turf.
DBanj is a naija based act, Dr Alban's turf is Europe. Does Dr Alban's success in europe automatically translate into him being referred to as a legend or vice versa for DBanj?

^ goodpoint, very few people in nigeria actually listen to dr alban now, unlike dbanj. Even dr alban asking to do a collabo with dbanj tells you that no condition is permanent. I dont know what caused the trouble sha and i am not going to comment.

What is wrong with what D'banj did?

Dr. Alban wanted a collaboration with him, D'banj told him to call his manager, is that wrong?

Dr Alban is a legend to every Nigerian unfortunately he came out before the internet came so most of you have not heard his music i have i was in Europe in the early 1990 when Dr alban was reigning back then there was lots of racism against us africans white used to think we were sub human but anytime the white talk shit and i told them that Dr alban their favourite musician was an african they keep quiet .Dr Alban help educate people about africa  and gave us a Good image Naija babe u are in Europe so indirectly you are benefitting from the positive image Dr alban tried to potray. I am not comparing dr alban with micheal jackson pls but i am saying they are similar Dr alban broke barriers he sang with a Thick African Accent and was one of the most successful swedish solo male artist of the 1990s.Youssou n dour is not as successful as dr alban even though they had similar turfs (europe) but in senegal Youssou  n dour is respected and no senegal artist can bullshit him.If Dr alban was south African im sure they would have hyped him as the king of African music like they did lucky Dube who was not as Good as Majekl fashek.This sending out a Bad message that we Nigerians dont respect our own whether you like it or not out of over 750 millions Africans in the world one man and only him till date (truly African musician )not akon,sade and seal who are westerners themselves disguised as Africans when it helps them commercially.Has had true success in the western world by being himself singing in an African Accent not trying to copy Americans he does deserve respect ,as for D'banj no matter how big you are every musician has a life span even micheal Jackson music career had a life span so there is no shame Dr Alban career is no more flying at the moment D'banj own day will soon come.

not only that, dr Alban performed  at world music award  in Monaco. i think Michael Jackson was honoured in this event as the musician of the century. This is another Idris fighting almight 50Cent. Nigerians and their king mentality

Some intense 'political' discussion you guys are having here. While you all are at it, also deliberate on mohit's new recruits and the effect on the nation's comin elections
