There is no need calling it foreign music ,just say Nigeria music. Wonder shall never cease, 53 , Africa countries fighting only one country, Nigeria 🇳🇬. God bless federal Republic of Nigeria the giant of Africa 🌍 👏.
I guessed it is inferiority complex instead of believing in one Africa and jointly grow together. I pray we Africans get to the level where we think we not my country alone.
By too much foreign music she means Nigerian music. Where was all this energy when Jamaican and America music was dominating the airwaves in Ghana? This is the psychology of self-hate.
Using population and government is just simply an excuse for Ghana. The total population of Jamaica is 2.961 million (2020) as compared to Ghana population which is 31.07 million (2020). But still hear Jamaica songs everywhere. Their genre have influenced music around the world. To be honest, right now the only good thing from Nigeria is the entertainment industry. Do you know why? Because the Nigerian government is not involved. Make good music and people will listen irrespective of where the music is from.
Typical Ghanaian mentality! You deride Nigerian influence on your entertainment industry but forgot that you can't do without Nigerians in many spheres.
Maybe why dblack is saying our🇳🇬 government support our music is because of the fact that Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike celebrated Burna boy after winning the Grammys, as Burna is a Port Harcourt boy(Rivers State), cos I don't know y else they all keep making this statement, government that is fighting the youth and banning songs, please o it's pure talent and hard-work on God🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Lies lies lies, govt doesn't support or mandate stations to play Nigerian music, its pure talent and hard work. China and India have the whole number in the world, aside from gwamga style which other Chinese artiste do u know outside chine.

Di- Black gave very silly excuses. Nigerian govt supportive of Nigerian music???? Very funny indeed. Where did he get that from? 90% play of local Jams. How? Probably in his dreams. Sometimes it looks like Nigerians don't want to play songs from elsewhere. Fact, we simply have too many songs being released weekly, and most very good and all jostling for airplay. The ones you hear are the top ones. Most don't even make it out. The Nigerian govt is as useless as most govts in Africa. They are actually killer's of dreams. Individuals and private outfits are pushing Nigeria entertainment not the govt. What you see happening in music is replicated in the movies and comedy. That hard work and success therein have rewards in the form of patronage across the world. Big companies are buying into the industry in the form of heavy sponsorship and it trickles down. Our people are hustling and creating top content's. That's why they are winning. And they are never satisfied. The DJ is very apt in his description of things. Music is business, treat it as one. Ghanaians should stop limiting themselves. Create a music identity, a Ghana sound. What happened to hip life? Trust me most Nigerian musicians work so hard, and are consistent to be able to remain relevant and on top. Your musicians release a song and wait for months?? They must put in the work. And stop using population as an excuse. Jamaica is an example of a tiny country like yours. They're exporting their sound and dominating with their brand of music. We use to be down too until we made serious changes. Interesting discussing anyway.
Ghana is ten times the size of Jamaica. Stop making excuses. Nigeria has similar attitude to Jamaica in promoting real Nigeria culture. Even South Africa promote real Southie culture so they are second to Nigeria. Ghanaians do music and use fake Nigeria accent/slang/pidgin and fake Jamaica patois. People looking for real authentic Africa sound will think of Naija first and Southie second and ignore Ghana.

they will ignore you on purpose my guy. They can't take that Nigeria has a thriving music culture an our own style with Afrobeat(s). You will never hear a Nigerian ask our crappy government for anything and blame them on top or claim anytin Ghanaian came from us. But go to Ghana and they are looking for any excuse to diss Nigerians and tie themselves to Naija culture same time. They can never just admit Naijas are talented pass una.
Exactly, not only tours but media circuits. I've just watched Davido's interview with Trevor Noah and he has been in the game for years to Tems who is a rising star doing an interview with Ebro on Hot97. Work went into making those a reality. When Tems met Rihanna it was Rihanna screaming and famzing Tens rather than the other way around. Consistent work made that visibility happen.
@@0k859 it's true they can't stand Nigerian success it really puts them in pain sometimes. If it was any other African nationality in Nigeria's place this programme would never have been made. The Naija hate from some Ghanaians is so real.
AJ great panel👌, very informative, educative and enlightening …an interesting discussion ….aside all the technical jargons and postulations, the most important thing is good music. Yes Nigerians have mastered the business side of things, and have the numbers, but they also produce good music, that’s facts and a reality.
Good music, good videos, good concepts, good work ethic , ability to travel to their fanbase across the world, ability to collaborate with fellow artists and knowledge of their industry which they put into action. How many years have people like Wiz, Davido and Burna been on their grind consistently? They are all ten years plus. Consistent all the way, not really any breaks and they have evolved along the way.
Dblack has obviously never been to Nigeria to see what is actually played on the radio there. I've been in Nigeria for the last nine months. Afrobeats is everywhere, but so is Amapiano. It's a lie that the Nigerian government support Nigerian artists. Did he not see the Endsars protest and the government's utter disdain for the Nigerian youth? If anything, the Nigerian government ban many Nigerian songs and videos.
@@charlesokoro654 At all, in fact the FG seem to actively fight the Nigerian youth. It's so strange and I've never witnessed such a thing before. I suppose it has made Nigerian youths determined and hardworking because they know and accept that they are on their own.
@@sylviasworld9397 such a great understanding. They refuse to believe it. Most Nigerian artist are now in US for tours. From wizkid, davido, burna boy, olamide, oxlade, Rema, Bella shmurda, naira Marley, ruger, tems, tiwa, teni. Nigerians are hustlers, even ckay is also having a tour. Sometimes it battles me how they generate these enegy. A lot of networking is going. My birth country Ghana is peaceful so the artist are not challenged.
It's quite funny. Him and Ghanaians in general all seem to think this way. None of them ever leave their own country a day in their lives to know how our music industry operates.
These Ghanaians think they understand the Nigerian music industry but they don't know a single thing at all from this D Black guy's claims as well as many others i hear. Our government don't give a hoot about us, our music is a result of hard work of the private sector and our musicians learning and stepping up their game. Ghanaians should actually do proper research than make baseless claims. That's why their industry will never grow.
This Dblock is a block head. If ignorance was a person it will be Dblock. All I’m hearing are excuses and not solutions, I don’t even think they are acknowledging that there is a problem in their music industry. Innocent Nigeria that is just minding her business is dragged ere and there. Smh
Ghanaians please stop talking about this numbers factor. It does not resonate with the reality. Your producers and artists do not have the acumen to ply in the industry. Diamond Platinumz is Tanzanian and doing far better than all Ghanaian artists put together, because his music is quality.
The Moderator/Interviewer (AJ) for me is the hero of this panel discussion. Very intelligent questions, she allows panellists to flow, to express their minds and has an amazing way of summarizing and weaving everybody's thoughts together. You are very good on the job, madam. I enjoyed the show. God bless you.
Ghanaian artists like D-Black should stop taking comfort in empty gossip that Nigerian artists get gov support, when we can clearly see them CONSTANTLY grinding and making worldwide moves. If you see a neighbouring farmer planting and tilling the land and tending and weeding his crops while you don't do the same, why at harvest time do you look for another excuse for his plentiful yield? You saw the man working while you chose to sleep in late. Why would you even expect to experience the same outcome?
When American and Jamaican music was dominating the Ghanaian airwaves, they never complained. No hate. But when it's Nigeria it becomes a problem. Azonto dominated the Nigerian music scene for a long time; and Jules is one of the most influential producers in the Nigerian music scene in the last 8 years. No beefs from Nigeria. We embraced them, we copied them and we improved. Ghanaians have a bad case of inferiority complex, and its holding them back.
All Ghanaian do is foreign music is it call Dancehall which is Jamaican. Ghanaians don’t have local music, they are too busy pretending to be Jamaican but complain “Foreigners” are playing their own style of music. Ghanaians themselves are choosing Afrobeat. They are tired of dancehall which rained in 15years ago. Okay let say the solution is to BAN FOREIGN MUSIC, no more collaboration from Nigeria, Ghanaians with its ram shack music industry will die a quick death just like the film industry. Let’s try this solution because we are tired of this complaint from a country of Ghana. They tried this solution with the Film industry and we saw what happened. Again this people never learn. Also no more begging for collaborations.
Dblack is right and I'm a Nigerian, Nigerians understand the business side! Even the dispora of Nigerians are helping also to make our artists known worldwide 🌐
The Nigerian government have no budget for the music artist and no 80/20 govt policy. Music is a private business and the will of the people to make a life out of it is strong. They the artist doing well is an in born Nigeria mentality to anything they embark on.
The demand for local music is high and you don't expect radio/TV media's not to meet such demand. And moreover Nigeria artist have more content than any of these African artists. Please quote the policy with details if there are any..
@@charlesokoro654 if only you knew what went behind the scene, you would retract this statement. Ask those in the broadcast station if this policy is strictly adhered to. This policy applies to movies not just music too. Between the hours of 7p.m to 10p.m, it is strictly local content
@@edowitch4703 nothing went behind the scene, Nigerians are bold, why should they choose behind the scene to promote their music which their energy can do for them. Hope you are not one of those holding to the believe that such government policy made nigerian music artist what they are today.. Other African countires have also held that believe and it has been an excuse , calling for the ban of nigeria music. All explanations had fallen on deaf ears. You people should know, not all nigerian artist have been successful from a huge population. Nigerians are creating quality music, the artist don't do it alone other hands are involved unlike artist from other African countries. They want to sing at the same time handle sound productions. Nigerian artist knows how to use the social media as way of promoting his music. They move out of their country to do this by investing in their craft. I know what the Ghanaians are better at , pulling themselves down which is one the problem their industry is facing. Am Ghanaian by birth. We wants to hold to history , they should learn from the Greek civilisation, where are they today. Fela came to Ghana to copy afrobeat, we taught them highlife, all the nigeria sounds originated from us.And they keep looking for excuses. We Nigerians never take anything from government serious. Gov policy is just a big lie. Let it be 100/0 policy in Ghana, the nigerian music is a virus.its effect have taken over the world ,there is no vaccine. hate and love enables its growth.
@@charlesokoro654 sir go ask the media house how things were done Instead Of relying on half baked information from Google. The media law strictly restricted music and movies to 80/20. This is a known fact that most artist can't deny. This is aside the fact the pioneers of Nigerian music worked hard. The policy in place is what I explained at the beginning.
D- Black or block , I don't know where u get ur information from about Nigeria govt support Nigeria music industry. Bros nor talk dat nonsense again. When u talk about population hmmm what's the population of Jamaica 🇯🇲 but their music is played around the world 🌎
Nigeria is a big market. The easiest thing to do is for Ghana to tap into the Nigerian Market. Nigerians do not discriminate against any African, Just come in, and hustle. You will make it.
When these guys say “foreign”, they are most certainly referring to Nigeria. But to them, American and European cultural influences in Ghana are not as foreign. This level of Ghanaian obsession with Nigeria and their negative competitive mentality is diabolical! I hope the young Nigerian artistes, who think pan-African, who think that they are African first and so, gallivant all over the place in Accra, realize that Ghanaians don’t think the same way. Xenophobia against Nigeria is brewing in Ghana. So, those out there better watch out . Ghanaians are choked by their delusions of grandeur or poshness, pretensions, and a laughable sense of sophistication. Nigerians on the other hand are real, authentic, and down to earth. This reflects in our entertainment industry in general. The level of protectionism the Ghanaians are advocating for will hurt their entertainment industry and their economy in general. If we all go back to our “tents” and it becomes each man for himself, Ghana will lose, because we are more in number, we have the money comparatively speaking, and our music is already all over the place . It’s a shame that our West African neighbor( in terms of English language) is this petty and envious.
I like the unbiased contribution of your resource persons. I sincerely think it's the way to go rather than harbouring bitterness and bad blood for the Nigerian artistes.
All of you talking about Ghanaians hating Nigerians. If that is your take away from this video then it's rather unfortunate. There is no hate here. This is just a discussion on how the proliferation of Nigerian media (Movies and Music) is styfling the growth of our industry. If we hated Nigerians we wouldn't play your music on our radios. Do you guys even play our songs the way we play yours? Whenever P-Square and 2face released we played their songs in Ghana even more than your DJ's play it in Nigeria. So don't talk about hate here.
Dont know why ghana artist feel so entitled.. what do you want from Nigerians? Want them take you to europe or America? Nigeria have put Africa music on the world Map, instead to celebrate them , you typical black African are here bringing them down.. my question is they play American music, Jamaica music, south Africa in Ghana.. now why not attack them? But single out Nigerians.. that is pure envy and jealousy.. when will African learn?
That guy who said if you type ye..you will see burner boy and kanye west..have got question for you..so when u typed ye...and u see west and burner boy..that means u have a choice to listen to west or burner ...so what u are saying is nonsense..if u go to restaurant and u want rice..u see fried rice and Jollof n white n brown rice..so u choose ur choice...so that ur explanation nor make sense at all ooo Charlie
Very baseless and misleading analysis. All hear is blame game, frustration and victim mentality. You can't progress with this sort of approach. Nothing was mentioned about quality, collaboration, management, marketing etc. Cameroon, Uganda, etc were on this same lane of banning and didn't go far.
Ghanians should be a shame of themselves for their small mindedness, we have all been consuming Western/Jamaican music in African forever and for once we have been able to now Africanize the music we consume at the expense of western music and it should be a thing of joy for all of us in Africa instead of this cry over the dominance of Afro music by Nigeria Musicians. USA dominates Music/movie industry in the World, have you ever heard Canada their next door neighbor complain of American dominance, what about the UK a country that colonized the United States at a time, they too are dominated by the Americans musically but no one complain like some Africans ,especially you Ghanians and I think it is a shame. Music is not politics, if you have the talent , your music will rule all waves, don't expect somebody else to lift you up.
My dear Ghanian brothers, sisters and Africans in diaspora, let me make this simple for you all as a Nigerian and a fellow African. There was an awakening that started in the late 2000 about the world becoming a global stage for all to feature, which gave birth to the current globalization of the African music experience that we are experiencing right now in Africa and the world at large, which everyone is now scrambling for a fair share of this movement and the benefit that comes with it. What we did as Nigerians is that we looked into our culture, our way of life and our story telling ability which is embedded in our Africanisms knowing fully that we cannot be like anyone else on the global stage of music but ourselves as Africans. So, we took advantage of our sounds and started experimenting with new tech in music fusions and WE EVOLVED and made progress with the understanding of what type of sound the world at large wants hear, listen and enjoy when it comes to African music. So, what we’ve done with the Nigerian Music is called differentiation. This understanding is what has paved this pathway for us and it came with a lot of hard work, Sacrifice and orderly thinking that has birth new ground breaking sounds that bridge cultures on a global scale. Simple! We are still working hard at it; we’re not going to stop but continue to make progress with new learnings, because we’ve learnt a lot along the way. So, there’s still more to do and learn from. PLEASE START YOUR JOURNEY AND STOP THE CRITICISMS. Stop feeling entitled and drowning yourselves in self-pity but look inward for every resource available to you and start refining, defining and put in the work progress awaits you on this journey. We move…..
Sir, please there's nothing like that 90/10% thing you spoke about in nigeria. Theres never been. Nigerian bars play Nigerian songs because it's just nice and the sings are good. There's never been a law. People just enjoy what they enjoy. Also, the Nigerian government has never cared about the music industry. All the successes you see in the Nigerian music industry is individual driven (just like NOLLYWOOD. it's all personal effort . No laws or legislatures backing them).
D black is totally naive about this topic . The guys in the studio made better point. At a time it was congo music dominating. Did their government give them money ? People like what they like . We use to enjoy western music before . Not so much again. Make good song people will listen
Nigerian music has now been upgraded to foreign in Ghana,woah. I think these guys are being paid for this argument because the never get tired of this debate everyday. One amazing thing about all these hate is that,the more they hate the more the Nigerians fly higher because the Nigerians does not even have time to respond to them,they are busy in the studio making the next hit song. Just imagine the energy they spent analyzing how Nigerian music populate the internet,put those energy in your music and you will go far brother.
Ghanian artists are obsessed with Nigerian artists what kind of jealousy and envy is that drake is a Canadian and the biggest rapper in America the weeknd is the biggest pop artist in America and he is from Canada Rihanna is from Barbados and is the biggest r&b artist in America but we don't hear Americans complaining what kind of backward thinking is that
Lool.. Is the brother in cap saying the population of Nigerians and other foreigners in Ghana are more than ghanaians ? That they can influence the song ghanaians listen to. Nigga be saying total rubbish
Ghanaians musicians do not incorporate melodies and good and relatable lyrics in their songs..All you hear is papapapapa..wtf is that??? Their choruses are terrible.. The majority of Ghanaian musicians sound like they have no business doing music.. But the good news is that there are some young artists that are coming up like Gyakie, Amarae, and King Promise.. Unfortunately, Ghanaians do not rate these artists and prefer to continue to support the old guard who churns out nonsense music that can not cross the border..
Do you guys know that wizkid was recording while on made in lagos tour? He has a studio in the bus .. So how do u win this guy? U have to double ur huzzle
AJ, what do you mean? What is deliberate about foreigners streaming music in Ghana?? People stream from Ghana because they live in Ghana. You guys need to use your common sense. To my Technology guy, is this the first time artistes have listed its producers on a record credits? Why you AJ, think that this is deliberate? You Ghanaians want to blame Nigerians for all your problems. I never heard you guys complain about Jamaica or America music in your airwaves. This is close to being Xenophobia. Look at D Black here running his mouth. The best he can do on his new song is "Krochia Krochia." What the hell is that? "Krochia Krochia Kroichia." What a joke!
Ghanaian Music Sounds is too poor and they need to do more on that as well, You guys can do this all u guys need is determination and focus, Just be real to ur sound don’t fake it, When u do all that the Wurld is ready to hear u guys..
I vehemently disagree with you. Ghanaian music has a wonderful sound. Most Nigerians even come to Ghana to record. The sound engineers in Ghana are on top of their game. The main issue here is just about numbers . Nigerians have always tapped into the Ghanaian sound.
@@Dangote_Despite Your ignorance is very fascinating. Ghanaian music is poor period. No Nigerian come to Ghana for any recording. Stop this useless and unfounded hype., you people should learn how to do Music. Nigeria is never your mate
@@ochiegodfrey6428 your ignorance really stinks. You really do not know what's going on. Even the Nigerians artistes themselves know they are mostly here in Ghana to record because of the sound. It's a known fact. Just stop being overly emotional over that. Almost every single Nigerian artiste has been to Ghana to record.

Then tell ghanaian to stop comparing or mentioning nigeria in every of their discussions.ghanaians never does a youtube video without nigeria been mentioned, babe aren't you ashamed the way ghanaian dragging nigeria in everything?
Google it, the most educated ethnic group in USA, Canada, UK and other European countries are Nigerians..Accent has nothing to do with grammatical structure..Some of the best novelists from Africa are Nigeria..So, stop making mockery of your ignorance because Ghanaians can't compete with Nigerians...
@@user-ee5rm You can't even write a complete sentence..Smh..And by way, Nigerian movies are also globally consumed, and about 85 % of those are in English language..If Ghanaians are so fluent in English language as alluded, why then is Ghana struggling to sustain her movie industry? Ghanaians lack creative imaginations and without Nollywood, Ghallywood would have been dead..It is high time Ghanaians stopped this madness of always trying pull down.. Nigeria is too big for you..And please, reply with proper grammar or you don't reply..

Good music, good videos, good concepts, good work ethic , ability to travel to their fanbase across the world, ability to collaborate with fellow artists and knowledge of their industry which they put into action. How many years have people like Wiz, Davido and Burna been on their grind consistently? They are all ten years plus. Consistent all the way, not really any breaks and they have evolved along the way.
Nigeria also has the finance.Good music requires money
D-Block, for your information, Nigerian government never supported art in Nigeria.
Dblack has obviously never been to Nigeria to see what is actually played on the radio there. I've been in Nigeria for the last nine months. Afrobeats is everywhere, but so is Amapiano. It's a lie that the Nigerian government support Nigerian artists. Did he not see the Endsars protest and the government's utter disdain for the Nigerian youth? If anything, the Nigerian government ban many Nigerian songs and videos.
Thank you. Nigeria govt don't care.
@@charlesokoro654 At all, in fact the FG seem to actively fight the Nigerian youth. It's so strange and I've never witnessed such a thing before. I suppose it has made Nigerian youths determined and hardworking because they know and accept that they are on their own.
@@sylviasworld9397 such a great understanding. They refuse to believe it. Most Nigerian artist are now in US for tours. From wizkid, davido, burna boy, olamide, oxlade, Rema, Bella shmurda, naira Marley, ruger, tems, tiwa, teni. Nigerians are hustlers, even ckay is also having a tour. Sometimes it battles me how they generate these enegy. A lot of networking is going. My birth country Ghana is peaceful so the artist are not challenged.
It's quite funny. Him and Ghanaians in general all seem to think this way. None of them ever leave their own country a day in their lives to know how our music industry operates.
These Ghanaians think they understand the Nigerian music industry but they don't know a single thing at all from this D Black guy's claims as well as many others i hear.
Our government don't give a hoot about us, our music is a result of hard work of the private sector and our musicians learning and stepping up their game. Ghanaians should actually do proper research than make baseless claims. That's why their industry will never grow.
Nigerian government is supporting entertainment industry?????The jjjjjoke of the millennium.
It's not the job of any government to fund media entertainment.
This Dblock is a block head. If ignorance was a person it will be Dblock. All I’m hearing are excuses and not solutions, I don’t even think they are acknowledging that there is a problem in their music industry.
Innocent Nigeria that is just minding her business is dragged ere and there. Smh
Ghanaians please stop talking about this numbers factor. It does not resonate with the reality. Your producers and artists do not have the acumen to ply in the industry. Diamond Platinumz is Tanzanian and doing far better than all Ghanaian artists put together, because his music is quality.
The Moderator/Interviewer (AJ) for me is the hero of this panel discussion. Very intelligent questions, she allows panellists to flow, to express their minds and has an amazing way of summarizing and weaving everybody's thoughts together. You are very good on the job, madam. I enjoyed the show. God bless you.
Thank you sooo much ❤️❤️❤️
Ghanaian artists like D-Black should stop taking comfort in empty gossip that Nigerian artists get gov support, when we can clearly see them CONSTANTLY grinding and making worldwide moves. If you see a neighbouring farmer planting and tilling the land and tending and weeding his crops while you don't do the same, why at harvest time do you look for another excuse for his plentiful yield? You saw the man working while you chose to sleep in late.
Why would you even expect to experience the same outcome?
When American and Jamaican music was dominating the Ghanaian airwaves, they never complained. No hate. But when it's Nigeria it becomes a problem.
Azonto dominated the Nigerian music scene for a long time; and Jules is one of the most influential producers in the Nigerian music scene in the last 8 years. No beefs from Nigeria. We embraced them, we copied them and we improved.
Ghanaians have a bad case of inferiority complex, and its holding them back.
Ghanaian jelosy for Nigeria is real
Don't talk like that
All Ghanaian do is foreign music is it call Dancehall which is Jamaican. Ghanaians don’t have local music, they are too busy pretending to be Jamaican but complain “Foreigners” are playing their own style of music. Ghanaians themselves are choosing Afrobeat. They are tired of dancehall which rained in 15years ago. Okay let say the solution is to BAN FOREIGN MUSIC, no more collaboration from Nigeria, Ghanaians with its ram shack music industry will die a quick death just like the film industry. Let’s try this solution because we are tired of this complaint from a country of Ghana. They tried this solution with the Film industry and we saw what happened. Again this people never learn. Also no more begging for collaborations.
Ghana music industry is a crying crying industry
Dblack is right and I'm a Nigerian, Nigerians understand the business side! Even the dispora of Nigerians are helping also to make our artists known worldwide 🌐
The Nigerian government have no budget for the music artist and no 80/20 govt policy. Music is a private business and the will of the people to make a life out of it is strong. They the artist doing well is an in born Nigeria mentality to anything they embark on.
80/20 policy is strictly adhered to in Nigeria. Check most of the local tv and radio stations, they play less foreign songs and videos
The demand for local music is high and you don't expect radio/TV media's not to meet such demand. And moreover Nigeria artist have more content than any of these African artists. Please quote the policy with details if there are any..
@@charlesokoro654 if only you knew what went behind the scene, you would retract this statement. Ask those in the broadcast station if this policy is strictly adhered to. This policy applies to movies not just music too. Between the hours of 7p.m to 10p.m, it is strictly local content
@@edowitch4703 nothing went behind the scene, Nigerians are bold, why should they choose behind the scene to promote their music which their energy can do for them. Hope you are not one of those holding to the believe that such government policy made nigerian music artist what they are today.. Other African countires have also held that believe and it has been an excuse , calling for the ban of nigeria music. All explanations had fallen on deaf ears. You people should know, not all nigerian artist have been successful from a huge population. Nigerians are creating quality music, the artist don't do it alone other hands are involved unlike artist from other African countries. They want to sing at the same time handle sound productions. Nigerian artist knows how to use the social media as way of promoting his music. They move out of their country to do this by investing in their craft. I know what the Ghanaians are better at , pulling themselves down which is one the problem their industry is facing. Am Ghanaian by birth. We wants to hold to history , they should learn from the Greek civilisation, where are they today. Fela came to Ghana to copy afrobeat, we taught them highlife, all the nigeria sounds originated from us.And they keep looking for excuses. We Nigerians never take anything from government serious. Gov policy is just a big lie. Let it be 100/0 policy in Ghana, the nigerian music is a virus.its effect have taken over the world ,there is no vaccine. hate and love enables its growth.
@@charlesokoro654 sir go ask the media house how things were done Instead Of relying on half baked information from Google. The media law strictly restricted music and movies to 80/20. This is a known fact that most artist can't deny. This is aside the fact the pioneers of Nigerian music worked hard. The policy in place is what I explained at the beginning.
D- Black or block , I don't know where u get ur information from about Nigeria govt support Nigeria music industry. Bros nor talk dat nonsense again. When u talk about population hmmm what's the population of Jamaica 🇯🇲 but their music is played around the world 🌎
I’m Nigerian... Ghana needs more music producers to get your sound and genre sound neat and nice
They need to go back and pick up a sound that is authentically theirs but able to fuse easily with other sounds.
@@sylviasworld9397 Exactly all this attaching themselves to whatever comes from Jamaica or Nigeria is really not working for them
Nigeria is a big market. The easiest thing to do is for Ghana to tap into the Nigerian Market. Nigerians do not discriminate against any African, Just come in, and hustle. You will make it.
When these guys say “foreign”, they are most certainly referring to Nigeria. But to them, American and European cultural influences in Ghana are not as foreign.
This level of Ghanaian obsession with Nigeria and their negative competitive mentality is diabolical!
I hope the young Nigerian artistes, who think pan-African, who think that they are African first and so, gallivant all over the place in Accra, realize that Ghanaians don’t think the same way. Xenophobia against Nigeria is brewing in Ghana. So, those out there better watch out . Ghanaians are choked by their delusions of grandeur or poshness, pretensions, and a laughable sense of sophistication. Nigerians on the other hand are real, authentic, and down to earth. This reflects in our entertainment industry in general.
The level of protectionism the Ghanaians are advocating for will hurt their entertainment industry and their economy in general. If we all go back to our “tents” and it becomes each man for himself, Ghana will lose, because we are more in number, we have the money comparatively speaking, and our music is already all over the place .
It’s a shame that our West African neighbor( in terms of English language) is this petty and envious.
I like the unbiased contribution of your resource persons. I sincerely think it's the way to go rather than harbouring bitterness and bad blood for the Nigerian artistes.
D black is a huge liar for saying Nigeria 🇳🇬 play 90% of their music and 10 others
All of you talking about Ghanaians hating Nigerians. If that is your take away from this video then it's rather unfortunate.
There is no hate here. This is just a discussion on how the proliferation of Nigerian media (Movies and Music) is styfling the growth of our industry. If we hated Nigerians we wouldn't play your music on our radios. Do you guys even play our songs the way we play yours? Whenever P-Square and 2face released we played their songs in Ghana even more than your DJ's play it in Nigeria. So don't talk about hate here.
Oh Charlie when Ghana does not have good music to listen in Nigeria
"Nothing beats originality" l cannot disagree. Originality is attractive
Dont know why ghana artist feel so entitled.. what do you want from Nigerians? Want them take you to europe or America? Nigeria have put Africa music on the world Map, instead to celebrate them , you typical black African are here bringing them down.. my question is they play American music, Jamaica music, south Africa in Ghana.. now why not attack them? But single out Nigerians.. that is pure envy and jealousy.. when will African learn?
That guy who said if you type ye..you will see burner boy and kanye west..have got question for you..so when u typed ye...and u see west and burner boy..that means u have a choice to listen to west or burner
...so what u are saying is nonsense..if u go to restaurant and u want rice..u see fried rice and Jollof n white n brown rice..so u choose ur choice...so that ur explanation nor make sense at all ooo Charlie
Very baseless and misleading analysis. All hear is blame game, frustration and victim mentality. You can't progress with this sort of approach. Nothing was mentioned about quality, collaboration, management, marketing etc. Cameroon, Uganda, etc were on this same lane of banning and didn't go far.
This is the best panel mehn.. i love you all... Too much sense... Not emotions... i learnt a lot..Thank you guys!! ❤️ From🇳🇬
Ghanians should be a shame of themselves for their small mindedness, we have all been consuming Western/Jamaican music in African forever and for once we have been able to now Africanize the music we consume at the expense of western music and it should be a thing of joy for all of us in Africa instead of this cry over the dominance of Afro music by Nigeria Musicians. USA dominates Music/movie industry in the World, have you ever heard Canada their next door neighbor complain of American dominance, what about the UK a country that colonized the United States at a time, they too are dominated by the Americans musically but no one complain like some Africans ,especially you Ghanians and I think it is a shame. Music is not politics, if you have the talent , your music will rule all waves, don't expect somebody else to lift you up.
My dear Ghanian brothers, sisters and Africans in diaspora, let me make this simple for you all as a Nigerian and a fellow African. There was an awakening that started in the late 2000 about the world becoming a global stage for all to feature, which gave birth to the current globalization of the African music experience that we are experiencing right now in Africa and the world at large, which everyone is now scrambling for a fair share of this movement and the benefit that comes with it.
What we did as Nigerians is that we looked into our culture, our way of life and our story telling ability which is embedded in our Africanisms knowing fully that we cannot be like anyone else on the global stage of music but ourselves as Africans. So, we took advantage of our sounds and started experimenting with new tech in music fusions and WE EVOLVED and made progress with the understanding of what type of sound the world at large wants hear, listen and enjoy when it comes to African music. So, what we’ve done with the Nigerian Music is called differentiation.
This understanding is what has paved this pathway for us and it came with a lot of hard work, Sacrifice and orderly thinking that has birth new ground breaking sounds that bridge cultures on a global scale. Simple!
We are still working hard at it; we’re not going to stop but continue to make progress with new learnings, because we’ve learnt a lot along the way. So, there’s still more to do and learn from. PLEASE START YOUR JOURNEY AND STOP THE CRITICISMS. Stop feeling entitled and drowning yourselves in self-pity but look inward for every resource available to you and start refining, defining and put in the work progress awaits you on this journey. We move…..
Why would you go this far to explain all these stuffs to them, do we own anyone an apology or explanation?
Sir, please there's nothing like that 90/10% thing you spoke about in nigeria. Theres never been. Nigerian bars play Nigerian songs because it's just nice and the sings are good. There's never been a law. People just enjoy what they enjoy.
Also, the Nigerian government has never cared about the music industry. All the successes you see in the Nigerian music industry is individual driven (just like NOLLYWOOD. it's all personal effort . No laws or legislatures backing them).
D black is totally naive about this topic . The guys in the studio made better point.
At a time it was congo music dominating. Did their government give them money ?
People like what they like . We use to enjoy western music before . Not so much again.
Make good song people will listen
Nigerian music has now been upgraded to foreign in Ghana,woah.
I think these guys are being paid for this argument because the never get tired of this debate everyday.
One amazing thing about all these hate is that,the more they hate the more the Nigerians fly higher because the Nigerians does not even have time to respond to them,they are busy in the studio making the next hit song.
Just imagine the energy they spent analyzing how Nigerian music populate the internet,put those energy in your music and you will go far brother.
Ghanian artists are obsessed with Nigerian artists what kind of jealousy and envy is that drake is a Canadian and the biggest rapper in America the weeknd is the biggest pop artist in America and he is from Canada Rihanna is from Barbados and is the biggest r&b artist in America but we don't hear Americans complaining what kind of backward thinking is that
Wish Nigeria government🇳🇬D black because seems i don’t understand you
Nice interview, i really enjoyed it.
Ghana artist should do collabo with nigerians A list artists
Sarkodie and stoneboy. Sarkodie and stoneboy. Sarkodie and stoneboy. Only these two guys in all of Ghana?
Lool.. Is the brother in cap saying the population of Nigerians and other foreigners in Ghana are more than ghanaians ? That they can influence the song ghanaians listen to. Nigga be saying total rubbish
Ghanaians musicians do not incorporate melodies and good and relatable lyrics in their songs..All you hear is papapapapa..wtf is that???
Their choruses are terrible.. The majority of Ghanaian musicians sound like they have no business doing music.. But the good news is that there are some young artists that are coming up like Gyakie, Amarae, and King Promise.. Unfortunately, Ghanaians do not rate these artists and prefer to continue to support the old guard who churns out nonsense music that can not cross the border..
Can I hear that caller right? That Nigeria government have time to even support music industry, we have the talent which is God given
Liars Nigerian government has no say on Nigerian music industry, Nigerians support themselves simple
Do you guys know that wizkid was recording while on made in lagos tour? He has a studio in the bus .. So how do u win this guy? U have to double ur huzzle
Another hate for Nigeria from Ghanaians 🤔🤔
everything disusion in ghana is about nigeria lol nigeria is d heaven in africa
Whenever they’re talking about foreign music,just know it’s Nigeria music they’re talking about, why can’t you guys just go straight to the point
AJ, what do you mean? What is deliberate about foreigners streaming music in Ghana?? People stream from Ghana because they live in Ghana. You guys need to use your common sense. To my Technology guy, is this the first time artistes have listed its producers on a record credits? Why you AJ, think that this is deliberate? You Ghanaians want to blame Nigerians for all your problems. I never heard you guys complain about Jamaica or America music in your airwaves. This is close to being Xenophobia. Look at D Black here running his mouth. The best he can do on his new song is "Krochia Krochia." What the hell is that? "Krochia Krochia Kroichia." What a joke!
Wizkid started the slow tempo with Holla at your boy... not easy
Ghanaian Music Sounds is too poor and they need to do more on that as well, You guys can do this all u guys need is determination and focus, Just be real to ur sound don’t fake it, When u do all that the Wurld is ready to hear u guys..
I vehemently disagree with you. Ghanaian music has a wonderful sound. Most Nigerians even come to Ghana to record. The sound engineers in Ghana are on top of their game. The main issue here is just about numbers . Nigerians have always tapped into the Ghanaian sound.
@@Dangote_Despite Your ignorance is very fascinating. Ghanaian music is poor period. No Nigerian come to Ghana for any recording. Stop this useless and unfounded hype., you people should learn how to do Music. Nigeria is never your mate
@@ochiegodfrey6428 your ignorance really stinks. You really do not know what's going on. Even the Nigerians artistes themselves know they are mostly here in Ghana to record because of the sound. It's a known fact. Just stop being overly emotional over that. Almost every single Nigerian artiste has been to Ghana to record.
@@Dangote_Despite let Ghanaian use the same record to blow then , is just all about talent .
@@Dangote_Despite is like u don’t understand when I said Ghana 🇬🇭 don’t have a Sound, Le me ask u and I need an honest answer from u.. Can you tell me Ghana 🇬🇭 Sound Is Better Than The Nigeria 🇳🇬 Sound, Please be honest here.. Just be honest that’s all I ask u as a brother.. Thank U 😊
Hardwork and good stuffs..do u know wizkid was even recording while on made in lagos tour? So u need to work times 2 to beat this guy! Face reality!
You people should tell Nigerians what to promote in Ghana, be frank to your self,
Music the people's choice 👌😌.
❤️❤️❤️🇳🇬🇳🇬
Interesting prediction(Appier-sign), Shatta is now in the “News”…….
Nigerians are obsessed with Ghana. Confirm from the comments section 😆😆😆, or you guys are here to learn how to speak good English 🤣
Then tell ghanaian to stop comparing or mentioning nigeria in every of their discussions.ghanaians never does a youtube video without nigeria been mentioned, babe aren't you ashamed the way ghanaian dragging nigeria in everything?
98% of your media personality can't even speak a word of English and you are here talking rubbish...
Google it, the most educated ethnic group in USA, Canada, UK and other European countries are Nigerians..Accent has nothing to do with grammatical structure..Some of the best novelists from Africa are Nigeria..So, stop making mockery of your ignorance because Ghanaians can't compete with Nigerians...
@@chikeagbo3531 🤣🤣🤣🤣 when you’re commenting on a show strictly in English. Try again
@@user-ee5rm You can't even write a complete sentence..Smh..And by way, Nigerian movies are also globally consumed, and about 85 % of those are in English language..If Ghanaians are so fluent in English language as alluded, why then is Ghana struggling to sustain her movie industry? Ghanaians lack creative imaginations and without Nollywood, Ghallywood would have been dead..It is high time Ghanaians stopped this madness of always trying pull down.. Nigeria is too big for you..And please, reply with proper grammar or you don't reply..
This shipopotamus is talking nonsense.
Una reasons don too much
