I certainly agree with this article. It's time we give full support to our acts. Afterall it was the support from the American people that made their industry what it is today. Again industry stakeholders need to devise a way to boost the sales of our music locally.

The best response to that thread is from iKillCuriosity. I'll paste the first point he made because it's incredibly brilliant.

In response to the author's first point as to why Nigerian music won't go mainstream in the United States:

"1. Shakira, Shaggy, Celine Dion

That should defeat your first point easily. They all started singing with non-US influences on their music, but even a totally different language in some cases. What happens is a no-brainer, they get into the US, tweak their music, keep the spine that got them famous in the first place and the rest is history. Celine Dion famously learnt most of her English in two days, just as she was about to leave for the US."

The author's first point was absolutely daft. American artists don't sing in proper English, so why can't pidgin catch on? Is it English that Sean Paul sang/rapped on his "Get Dutty" and "The Trinity" albums? Chai lol. It's not impossible.

U made a good point.
