Why Nigerian's music industry might not be better than this




Being the most talented country and gifted country in Africa, Nigeria has always seen her artistes collect multiple awards and accolades in Africa’s Music Industry.

The great nation has seen talented stars who achieved a lot in the industry and also those who failed to, not because of their inadequate ability, but rather because they were very talented and Nigeria needs no talented artiste.
Mentioning a few of Nigeria’s talented musicians, I’d call Guys like Faze (we all know this guy, the Kolomental crooner who was one of the three that made up the Plantasun Boiz. Faze is a known gifted musician who is very gifted vocally and his area of specialty is writing cool songs. Styl Plus, this team of great vocalist can definitely not be omitted from this list. Among so mansy others, Nigeria has many gifted and talented musicians, producers etc.

Both the Nigerian Music Industry and Football professionals lack a lot. They lack the determination to succeed (don’t get it twisted) and the hunger for glory. Take the music industry for example, we have seen talents in 2face, Davido, Olamide, Wizkid, Banky W, P Square, Chidimma, Omawumi, Tiwa Savage among so many others. It is the dream of every Musician to attain those heights of glory. Most Nigerians just do not have that mindset, they do not see or rather look through the wall.

Let's say the truth; I don’t see any popular Nigerian Musician who sings for nothing else but commercial deals, and MONEY! Yes, it is hard to admit, but that is the truth, they sing what will make the local fans throw hands, which will consequently attract commercial deals which will in turn increase the figures in their accounts. That is where they start losing it; they forget they have to impress the outer circle should they want to attain those heights where they will be termed music icons or legends.

The award every character in the industry should aspire to have is the world’s most prestigious Grammy’s Award. And for someone in the industry to claim this accolade, there are many attributes your piece is supposed to have. Starting from the lyrics, it’s message, languages and so many other factors that are considered. Nigerian musicians always want to sing what is noisy, oh yeah, what is noisy. Most directors, producers, mixers, technicians in the industry lacks that cutting edge. They all look the BAG with the MONEY and not the one with the GLORY.

The worst part of the scenario is that people like Chidimma, Iyanya came through a talent hunt show “MTN Project Fame” where they were taught a lot, but when they did finally come out into the real world, they dumped all those tutorials and switched into the trending style of Nigerian Musicians.

If I should think of Nigerian musicians that can win the Grammy’s for now, I would not mention any popular artiste. The likes of Olamide, Chidimma, Davido, Tiwa Savage are out! While the likes of Timi Dakolo, Cobhams Asuquo, Banky W, Femi Kuti (four time nominee), Asa and a few others are in.

The footballers are same, always going for where the money is, and not where one can play and improve. Mikel is one, less playing time, barely starts. He has started only one game in six, and in one of his appearances for Chelsea (against Arsenal), he came on in the last 5 minutes, but still he would not leave, why? the money is too big to walk away from.

If individuals in the Nigerian Music Industry, Football world is to go up to certain heights and start competing with the best out there, money should be the least they worry about, for when you are up there, the coins will definitely come in.
