Na wa o, all is well.........I made front page for d first tym.......hurray! Party on!

In the western world, songwriters always get a percentage of the music sold and also if the song is remade by another artist. I'm sure it's not the same here in Nigeria. Some don't even acknowledge the true writers of their song talkless of paying them.

This is quite true.most are not even recognized..Its a shame. the likes of bez,brymo

That's the beauty of life.

Sia wrote Diamonds for Rihanna, pretty hurts for Beyonce, even Titanium with David Guetta and many others. Nigerian Singers should hire writers since they can't write. I'm happy Davido is doing it. There are professional songwriters all over the World.
