If you ask me i will say yes! They are not stylish neither charismatic. It is hard for a Nigerian to see an artist and ask for autograph or even take pix with 'em, even paparazzi is very far from them and i belive this is attributed 2 their(artiste) unstylish way of life, dressing, etc. This is not about Nigerians dont value what they have, they should impress us(not puffy i mean) and show us what they'v got! U are free to be against or for the motion.

They lack originality and cultural awareness too!

They just freak me out sometimes when i see them.

There's only one artist that has style (in my opinion). Tiwa Savage. She's very simple, yet sophisticated. She's not like the rest who are trying to look like Lady Gaga or Ke$ha. As for the guys, for some of them it's Russian winter 24/7 in Naija. They wear sweaters, puffer jackets, scarfs, a lot of excess, and it isn't needed. Sometimes less is more.

They don't know how to sell themselves.

They need to invest in the right people/department.

Yeah, Tiwa is kinda good cause she knows a thing or two due to her american upbringing. Lol @ 24/7 russian winter.

sigh

Yeah, they all are a bunch of AA and or Jamo Mimics, and most don't even do that too well. I'd be embarrassed if I were Nigerian.

could you believe WIZKID putting on doggy chain with T-shirt(red shirt and brown trouser) @ rhythm unplugged in Abuja? Yuck! *sick*. OLAMIDE is one big unstylish (w)rapper i'v seen. One thing about being a celeb is PACKAGING, our so called celeb dont know how to package at all.

but they are still better than your country ERITEA

na until dem plaster them self with tatoo like wocka flocka or lil wayne thats when dem go get style abi, at least 2 face is presentable, dbanj tries and our comedians to are not doing bad at least gordon sparks suit suits him

Nigerian celebrities look too ordinary when you come across them in real life. If you didn't know them, there's no pointer whatsoever that suggest that they're celebrities except for a few of them.

Is that why she's always wearing enough ROUGE especially being that dark skinned?

Lol while I will admit that its true I do wonder why is it important? Are they known for their talent (or lack there of  ) or how they dress? Not to renk on nigeria or nothing but their fashions are imported and therefore they have (the luxury) to appeal the western standards or do their own thing unlike us westerners who believe looks are everything. Different stroles for different folks.

if i see any nigerian artist dressed like this,I will personall jum on a plane and come and shoot him

to be honest


even our Footballers are not charismatic

@ OP you are so right,

even if they want to westernise in terms of their dressing at least they should not take it too far both in dresssing and accent/the way they speak as well.

Keep it simple. Just look at this , Oh my, is that a suit or a leather chair with pins,

is this the Jim Oyuke everyone keeps banging on as a trend setter and stylish person,

U are a liar, they should impress us. Do u know that only few artistes perform on stage?(without DJ playing the song)

@Parisgoodman

I must say that you reallyhave a problem, Are artist not hman being, like any body , do you want them to be Robot, you just belive everything you see about Western artist, infact western artist have their own issues, what do you mean so oya if you wan go sing enter studie make you see how musci busniess be for Nigeria, these artist are making music out of nothing and you are here posting irrelevant topic, After you will be the first to buy show ticket for 15k,

@inkerd nerd

You're very much correct in this belief. A lot of them have horrible and I mean HORRIBLE PR people and in some cases, some of them don't have any at all! They don't know how to carry themselves. They give off too much attitude, sound very full of themselves, and don't know how to be humble about themslves. I saw one interview with some Nigerian acctress over a year ago, and the way she was speaking and the hand gestures she was making just made her look like a complete fool! It was so obvious that she was trying to sound like she an American accress but the fact that she was trying so hard, the way she was speaking and moving her hands, I couldn't help but laugh at her. I didn't know if I should have felt sorry for her or sorry for us Nigerians. Pathetic! They spend so much time trying to show they world their fake lives in those those bootleg Nigerian tabloid websites and magazines, if they invested the same amount of money and time into ACTUAL acting classes and PR people, they would be looking as fooloish as they always are!

well i must say that you aint in NAIJA, so al this one wey you dey yan na dust , enter studio or try be in the movie industry and see how it is. body go tell you, over here, dont blame them, it aint easy

Lmao!! A hot bush mess right there! He should have had one more year added to his prison sentence for wearing that shiet.

if i see any nigerian artist dressed like this,I will personall jum on a plane and come and shoot him

Lmao!

I smell HATERS. Most of the coments posted here ae apparently frm those who don't stay in Naija. Over hereunlike abroad, no one gives a sh.it what artistes put on, na your money dem take buy am? So until they wear Doce's and Gabbanna's and Armanis or clothes tha are just off the runway, or until they dress like circus performers, we won't know they wore something nice? Puh lease, that's silly. I love Tu Face's simplicity and Omawumi's traditional outfits are always stunning and enviable, P square dress to impress and D'banj's wardrobe is endowed. Ice Prince dey crase, i no blame am, but he's mad in a good way.
P.S Tiwa Savage dresses like a freaking SL.UT! She totally ebarrassed me at the recent Channel O Awards, bet y'all didn't watch that, saved yourselves from the ugly sight of her overly exposed, flat mammary glands . Let's not even go into her fake lashes and flashy make-up. Better to not have celebs than have em dress like expensive sex workers

Inked_Nerd:


Smell whatever you want smell.

I live in Nigeria and all the Naija Artist are shite

They are only 4 original artists i like

1.Femi Kuti
2.Tiwa Savage
3.Nneka
4. Asa

Thats all. What pisses me off is how Nigerian young ones are falliing over heels on Wizkid. WIZKID FFS!, I swear Most Naija young children dont have music taste.

Oh, they should stop using autotunes, its. F U. C. K. I. N. G annoying

Firstly, an artist can only know so much, The question is, where are good PR companies that are doing their job?,

Secondly, I like tubaba's dressing, most times, on point, You don't have to be wearing kaftan or agbada to dress like fela to show originality these days,

*no comment* just passing by
