In the beginning Adam ate the apple - the first story was told, and ever since then, I'm of the opinion that the world has been driven by stories from the first day.

The best sales men always have the perfect anecdote for their sales pitches, you know I once went out with the principal manager of a multi-billion naira company to bid for a contract, he ended his pitch by saying "it seems like I ve been talking a lot, as my people say, if your girlfriend die and you too dey cry about am, dem go think sey na you kill am, perhaps, I should stop talking now and begin to show you samples of jobs we have done" the whole board burst into laughter. Oh boy, he got the deal!

The world is driven by stories, everything is scripted, from religious documents, to business plans, to tech apps, to television shows - and yes, even the Keeping up with the Kardashian show, to songs and most importantly music videos.

Growing up as a kid I was particularly drawn to how artistes surrounded their album sales with a story or two, ("the tupac and B.I.G. saga" "Get rich or Die trying" that's fifty sent trying to tell his whole underdog story in one album as depicted in the movie) every album dropped had a story around it, they called it their inspiration. Their music videos were shot to be consistent with the story.

Now, that's easy right? The right inspiration or story should give u the best content for your songs, shouldn't it?

Okay, then afterwards, u tell the video director what your story his, perhaps he will creatively give your music video a consistent screenplay (in Jayz's case he loves having the controversial illuminati this and that to his music videos, well u can also call them coincidences).

Now, why are our music videos filled with images of half naked girls? Please pardon me, I actually meant quarter naked girls, is it that the directors are short of stories, or that the artistes have only just one story - unclothedness!

"Naked girls, just flood the set with naked girls, no be guys? Dem go watch am joor" I'm sure that must have been what olu maintain told the director of the nautty video.

Recently, I saw a very good friend of mine giving burna boy a very good massage on his neck in the "tonight" music video, I stumbled upon the behind the scene footage and noticed that she only wore panties in that scene. "Ehn? It was nice meeting u" I didn't bother keeping in touch with her again.

Please artiste and directors, give us good stories, the bible, koran and religious materials are filled with it. Even Atheist love stories, common' they told us about the big bang.

Stop showing us naked girls and give us good stories.

I leave it there.

85 views and no reply.... is that all i get? i can at least make use of some criticism....

Oh boy, I hear you o! We tried that with a new artist and told the 'story' of the song in the video... well let's just say 'Nigerians' hated it because there were no na.ked girls in it. And all the 'stations' said that was why they were not going to play the video - you can see it here -

I don't think anything is inherently wrong with "Unclad girls" or na.ked girls/people at all. Nu.dity was/is religious European & Arab insecurities that was imparted on others. I have a problem with trying to market sex in an attempt to sell me something as though it's some kind of common denominator that goes with everything from Breakfast cereal to New cars.

Actually ...I don't have a problem with "Unclad girls" or sex. I have a problem with insulting lots of peoples intelligence by lazily pandering to the idea of ("Unclad girls" or sex) to sell stuff.

It's like Hollywood movies where everything has to have a love interest and a happy ending. It's just lazy, be adventurous and explore the world of ideas!

I know this is a bit off topic...But if I DO get married(which I'm definitely not), then me and my wife are going to always walk around the house naked when its just us. Yeah you HEARD ME!!!

LMAO! I'm such a weirdo...

Do am do am do am.


About the topic... i hate it. Music videos over-use this sex theme and it so old, back when i was a kid i used to love watching the skantily clad chicks in videos and hearing perverted lyrics.


but now i'm bored of it... they need to put more thought into their products. There is more to life than cheap sex

pleep: Same here lol, and imma finger her every time she bends over.


.... Why dont u wanna get married tho... scared of a stong black woman?

Nah...Its just that marriage is overrated and outdated in this day n age. Not worth it imo. I wanna be wild and free.

i agree it is outdated, and downright re.tarded when rich guys do it
