afronicic,u should't protest over ibos dorminance in nollywood.it's just cos ibos have abundant talents than yorubas.why don't you protest ibos dorminance in professional football also.how many yorubas are great players?

doyin13:

Afrocynic. . . wetin be ur point sef

So becos many refer to Yoruba language even in the most minimal way,
they should be protestations as they are over the Igbo dominance of Nollywood.

From Production to distribution to retail, Nollywood is fundamentally Igbo. A few parochial
references in the music scene cannot compare. . . .

afam4eva:

You're fool, do u know that Igbo is taught in Yale University? What's the use of google yoruba if the results are not displayed in yoruba.

OJB is Ijebu? Ijebu ko Oshodi ni, He's from Agbor in delta state.

There's nothing new under the sun. It's been done over a thousand times already. This whole portray Africa as a good place is ridiculous what's good? SA xenophobia, Niger Delta (the budget fund supplier of Nigeria) is still in shambles, I'm not even going to talk about Ghana. All those portray Africa as a better place is just bull shit cause right now, only nature of Africa is good not the people's lives and environment. I hope it's not the government that is spending money on this cause it would be a shame that they are trying to cover their inabilities with the media.

@post
there is no intellectual input in this post, just tribal rantings

an objective analysis would have explained why most if not every musicians will want to have a Youraba mix in their songs, but most of the responses tried to defend one tribal positions or the order. quite unforfunate.

egheleghe:

@afrocynic.2face did african queen in igbo.timaya did dem mama in igbo,p square did ifunanya in igbo,d banj did igwe in igbo.2face and timaya particularly exclaim in igbo in most of their songs(chineke me!).i'm not igbo but i'm only being real.in the east and niger delta,we have an entirely different stars that sing in other languages.do you know asuo ekiye?korkormikor?m trill?frank d nero?chinweike(estar)?nwaba?desperate chicks?soty?ibiso?or you only consider lagos based as stars.

afam4eva:

Thanks for answering that ethnocentric tribalist

egheleghe:

This thread dey laf me.how can you stay inside those ancient yoruba villages with rust roof and laterite mud bricks to presume that we listen to yoruba music. Here in ph all those una yoruba songs no dey make sense.duncan mighty sold the most last year and he sang in ikwerre and igbo.nigga raw na 2nd and flava na 3rd.na only dbanj and 9ice we buy and dem no follow for top 10.we prefer igbo songs.

jaguda:

make we kukuma rename this thread Afam4eva vs Others, afam, e don do, u be woman, if dem no gree hear ur own, must u punish all of us here.
some serious questions for the house:  

1. wetin make musician make songs?
2. d song make sense?
3. d artiste gain acceptance?
4. d artiste make money?
5. who d song appeal to?

dese na wetin matter for artistes. Singing in anoda lingua makes u look versatile. make una no bring Biafra and Oduduwa come here ooooo

Afam, sheath ur sword or i go issue warrant of suspension from Seun to you.

Abeg, abeg, abeg, make una help beg that guy wey dey use snake as avatar/picture/wateva say jaguda fear snake well well,(my hand dey even dey shake as i dey type) make e change am, abeg. S-E-U-N plssssssssssssssssssss do sumtin ooooooooooooooo

Oga, u no serious, wen Pasuma dey mix english with fuji, no probelm for there abi? who are the westerners? how many yorubas dey Lagos compared to other tribes, abi u think say evribody wey speak koroba na koroba person? Waffi say any which way, frog must jump, appeal to Lagos market and not some bloody illiterate westerners. if u want appeal to westerners, go sell ur music for Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo and Osun. Lagos is cosmopolitan, u hear. how many so called westerners dey buy english songs or songs from english artistes, go Mushin and check wetin dem dey buy? Paso, Obesere, saheed Osupa and co. dese guys get their own  superstars (koroba superstars), so tell me, how one or two lines of koroba in a song go appeal to dem? the target market different.

chiogo:

Afrocynic, I don't know who N!gga raw is but if you understood igbo, you'd understand the acronym Asha 80 just gave you for the n!gga raw dude.

Nig-nigerian
g-guy
a-anakpo
r-raw

Basically, the above means 'a Nigerian guy they call raw'

And you mentioned something about American rappers not being able to use such acronym. FYI, 2pac did. His definition of NIGGA was:
N-never
I-ignorant about
G-getting
G-goals
A-accomplished

Thought you were a hip-hop head, u coulda fooled me.

romeo:

I love him soooo much!! Do you have issues with that? Goshh. He's my favourite Nigga

afam4eva:

@ Afrocynic

It really got to the inner most part of your skin that i refused to agree with your theory, if e dey pain you, go jump inside lagoon

asha 80:

nig-nigerian
g-guy
a-anakpo
raw

n.i.g.g.a here ia an acronym and not nigger or nigga as in negro ok.

@Afrocynic

If you do not like his music nobody send.After all na everybody like dbanj?

asha 80:

I guess you were sleeping when typing the above.My friend i am not interested if they sing in yoruba as far as they make good music but to say they will not blow till they use yoruba means you are highly ignorant.

asha 80:

When you are talking about blowing are you talking about popularity  or no of albulm sold?And why did nigga raw win icon of style by awarded by nigezie last year when he was in contention with durella and lord of ajasa.

If do not know you are displaying what you accused afam4eva of doing.

As for Sunny Neji i am simply correcting you before you make a fool out of yourself.

asha 80:

@Afrocynic

Stop being ignorant Sunny Neji is not igbo.He is fom ogoja.And you still have not yet replied me how nigga raw and presently Duncan mighty blew without yoruba songs.

afam4eva:

@ Afrocynic

I'm anti-yoruba simply because i refuse to reason with your argument that lagos pop culture is strictly yoruba, common,

afam4eva:

Good, did he sing in Yoruba? NO
