I don’t know whether it’s my ears or something, but the
kind of crappy songs that has been oozing out these past
years are highly questionable. I see most of all these
songs lacking depth, lyrical contents, creative melody
and professionalism. And the most surprising thing they
top charts and carry numerous awards.
I want to believe there could some reasons why the
Nigerian ears embrace such mediocrity. I remember those
years of African Queen by 2face, Olufunmi,
Runaway,Table for 2 by Stylpus, Happy Day by Paul IK
Dairo and a host of others. Those songs could stand the
test of time, what most people call evergreen songs.
These days if you don’t sing in pidgin language your song
will not push. What a mess!!. An embarrassment to
intellectual embodiment.
Just as we needed change in governance I strongly
believe that change is needed in the Music Industry.
These days any Tom, Dick and Adamu can just put words
together, go to some crappy studio record shit and it
could be a hit. Deafen our ears with noise, what most
people call “Pangolo Songs.” Sometimes when I am
driving and I put on the radio, I am forced to turn it off.
I fear for kids who learn so many crappy pidgin, vulgar
words from those crappy songs. Many dont know that all
these have some adverse effects on our kids, it’s rather
unfortunate. Something must be done about this.
We need good music of global standard. Music that
portrays professionalism, cultural values, creativity and
depth. I believe the wind of change blowing in the polity
will extend to the music scene. God help us!!

Like you said. I think it's your ears

Dats what sells in d music market, our musicians are only trying to please their audience. 80percent of Nigerians dont like good music, so u dont expect any artiste to sing wat will not sell. Music is business like any other product, so after the artiste has spent money to record, shoot video and promo they want to make profit. So stop blaming our musicians and appreciate them for once. If you were and artiste and u came out with good songs with meaningful lyrics and it didnt sell wont u join d trend?

just as i am here trying to push my classical songs...i have tried my best with good songs to make a change.. All i needed now is to puah it to the market and hope people will buy it...we still have class in nigeria.. I am one ...
