Well said. Do you know what's trending presently in America 🇺🇸. Nigeria introduced their local food as a change on Tik tok, that is another way of creating awareness of their country culture and traditions. Do you know there's Yoruba village in South Carolina in America called Oyotunji village and igbo village as well.
Nigeria is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world. You will be shocked to find tribes that resemble yours in our country. You could easily pass for someone from the Plateau in Nigeria. Every region has a few genres of music in their domain. Most of what you call Nigerian music, is a small fraction of our rich musical culture. Nigeria is a mini Africa culturally speaking. It is simply not possible for any other country in Africa to compete with Nigeria as far as creativity is concerned. There will be super stars from time to time elsewhere, but the sheer population of Nigeria, and its unique cultural diversity is a driver of creativity.
Good points indeed, that's y I love chef, he's gat good music not bambi wanting to sound like Nicky Minaj or Cardi, lol originality is lacka walai. Nigerian music is very sweet ooo.
You make a lot of sense. When I was a boy, I used to listen to VOA Africa. A writer from Kenya wrote in to a popular presenter complaining the station reads more letters from Nigerians than from other parts of Africa. The presenter responded to the complaint by saying more than five of every letter they received from all across Africa came in from Nigeria. That's a fact that also reflects in Nigerian music, it dominates the entire airwave of Africa. The population is of tremendous advantage to Nigeria. But in all, Africa is one.
I am Nigerian, but I want to tell you that population doesn't matter. Tell this to your colleagues. Jamaica has a pop of less than 3 million. Instead, the music helped Jamaica to get known.
@@FineTech-l6o I disagree, Cause i can mention many artiste in Nigeria today that are really really good but no one knows them and when you listen to their music sometimes it lacks that African Uniqueness, For instance, You can't expect to listen to a musician from china and then they are sounding African, That's why these Europeans likes to listen to African music today cause they have African uniqueness and culture cause they got bored of listening to the same sound everyday, if you are a music lover, trust me you would want to listen to different genres and enjoy different type of Good music... So it's not about population thing and another thing is Nigerians likes to compete with themselves a lot and they also like to appreciate their own too.... There's more to it than just population, If you know music very well, You won't talk about population, Many Africans claim to be Nigerian abroad instead of being themselves... I never met an African abroad and they introduce me to their music... There was a time the American music was the only music we listen to in Nigeria.... Imagine growing up i listen to a lot of jay Z and 50 cent and snoop dogg, Eminem, Name them, A lot of them... I even had a fake tattoo of the name 50 cent when i was a teenager but today everything changed.... Love your own and be Unique, We as Nigerians use different African sound to make music just to be part of their genre and also Support all Africans.... Let's love ourselves as Africans and represent ourselves all over the world cause African is the Future...
@@FineTech-l6o You don't understand the point, The point is even when you are a small country, your music can still find relevance. Jamaica is a case in point. It has just about 3 million people.
I'm at Artist and I'll tell you for Free it's Just the Amount of Talent Nigerians got that's doing the work.... Good music will sell anywhere in the world... Jerusalem by master Kg is the biggest song in 2020 a South African song... Parti after Parti wasn't a Nigerian song, we play good songs we don't care if it's from Nigeria or any parts of Africa.... One love ❤️🙏
Good presentation and no hatred from you, that's a good start. If you think Nigeria music is good, embrace it, re-invent it and improve on it. Then the whole world will listen to you. Nigerians understand this, that's why we embrace the best from every corner of the world.
I'm a Nigerian living in london.......I totally agree with you my dear........togetherness you all can go far........the most important thing is unity......once you guys are United.....that means you all can go far. Try and collaborate with other African Artists as well.
Please This is the right spirit from a Zambian Am a Nigerian.. And I think Zambians should be placed on high esteem.. Never knew people like this were in Zambia ❤️❤️❤️
im igbo and my favourite music is Yoruba music. ........its not about the language, just the music, awilo wasn't Nigerian, but every Nigerian knows who he is, and grew up to that makossa dance....if its good, and out there.... they will listen....its not like Nigerians are using jazz
I would agree with these points! The point with the amount of population have to be more differentiated. I believe that the central problem is the copying or Faith one must sound Western, sound like Americans musicians! You are locally know in Zambia and want to sound like Usher or copy that is a battle you can't win. Yes, across the EU 🇪🇺 most people don't know anything about Zambia. It is a problem with the country itself. Self-marketing is bad. There are countries like Mali 🇲🇱 (19 million Population) or Senegal 🇸🇳 (15 million) their music is played in Germany 🇩🇪 , the Netherlands 🇳🇱 etc with a positive response. Don't forget the people who come from the islands, i.e. people with African roots who are looking for authenticity. Some bands from Mali 🇲🇱 are booked each year to come to African festivals. The music is authentic and that's what people want to hear, especially people on the European continent. People want to learn about the culture / traditions of a country through music. They want to experience a journey to another world. I agree that Zambians generally cannot hold together. Even art comes only from West African culture. Increasingly, I feel that many people in Zambia are ashamed to be "black". Live and celebrate culture! Music in Ghana 🇬🇭 has emerged from the shadow of Nigeria!! The cohesion and pride in West Africa is more pronounced. When I see how people from Zambia behave because they have inhaled European air, is frightening!!
Very true @Noreenhart valid points you've brought out... I think colonialism hit us real bad 🤔 seems we are not proud of what we really are as a people... we failing to integrate our tradition in most things we do, because we think it's inferior or shameful.
@@benjaminliswaniso2620 I really do not want to paint the devil on the wall, but we have serious problems in Zambia. Our mentality as Zambians is very questionable. Nor do I want to lump all Zambians together. There is a lot going on right now in Zambia. We need a rational approach to address things that affect a lot of people. Incitement or recrimination will not bring this country any further. Many Zambians lack knowledge, i.e. general knowledge is quite low. Many judgments that people make are not based on knowledge or reflection, but only on whether the person's nose suits me. Many people in Zambia do not have a solid backbone. They are like a flag that changes direction with the wind. In my opinion, many people in Zambia are 'emotion-driven' and prejudiced. They are rarely able to hear the truth but are always willing to defend a lie just because the person's nose is to their taste. They are constantly judging without facts. They are people who constantly pull other people down. Words of encouragement are alien to them. As I said, we have serious problems. The attitude of the people in Zambia urgently needs to change. Why do not we have love for each other? As I said, I prefer a rational approach. There are many things that we need to address relentlessly in Zambia. RUclipsr Channels like this one or like Elias Munshya are important. It is not the right time to emotionally arouse people. Many people need factual knowledge. Some RUclipsrs put many people in a permanent emotional state of arousal, which I think is dangerous. *The points mentioned in this video can be broken down to one thing: "our inability to hold together and support each other". This is a sad realization.* Tourism in Zambia is so badly marketed that you could die from boredom. The person being selected to represent the section is basically “skin-bleached, wearing a wig” Nobody in Europe wants to see anything like that. Where is zambia's diversity? The person is chosen only because many people think: "She is "beautiful". What beauty concept does Zambia have? Why is Kenya so successful when we talk about tourism? Because Tradition/culture comes first. It is appalling how much the ethnic origin [tribal] of a person in Zambia is addressed. We are just fooling ourselves and hiding beyond a slogan “Zambia is a Christian Nation”. I wonder, is Zambia not having intellectuals? Sociologists? Ethnologists? Historians? Zambia must usher in the era of enlightenment. I rest my case.
As a Nigerian🇳🇬, I Have Not much to say But to let you Know i Love You for This!!!!❤💯, You are a Real Pan-African❤, I Just Love East Africans for Their LOVE for Nigeria❤😭❤😭❤
I'm a Nigerian and I love Zambia and Zambian music. Zambia has a lot of great musicians. In fact, they're very talented. However, music has gone digital and what really counts now is the number of streams a song can pull. There cannot be streaming without access to the internet. Of the 17million people of Zambia, only about 28% percent has access to the internet. This must change.
@Biobele, China is the most populated country in the world and their music and language sound so horrible and ugly....to my ear though. Population has zero impact on our music. At independence, Nigeria was about 45-50 million, even more than Zambia of today, but our music was just regional or national at best...so it has to do with uniqueness, video quality and sounds...amongst other little factors.
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 Population is just a lousy excuse that they use to cover their laziness and lack of marketability. The population of Jamaica is less than 3 million, yet Reggae and Dancehall music is the 2nd most popular music in the world after hip hop and R&B. Zambia's population is 18 million, Ghana is 30 million, and Kenya is 54 million. If the Jamaicans can promote their music with a population of under 3 million, then why can't Zambia, Ghana,and Kenya? 🤔🤨😑.
Point of correction, Nigeria population is over 200 million people & over 250 million globally. Nigeria has 36 state in Nigeria & Zambia is not up to a state like Lagos of over 21 million. I am not a Nigerian but thanks for speaking truth. Nigeria music has gone global
Am a Nigerian living in Ghana I agree to everything he said, most of all unity matters allot, most people don't support other artists because they are not their favorite artist but the forget when somebody is doing well we all have to support, it's happens in Ghana too we all have to start loving and appreciating our own God bless Africa 🙏
Very valids point make a video about the solution to the same issues u raised on the population I totally agree with you even in terms of investment personally I will invest in a huge country with lots people
Thank you for addressing this issue in the simplest way without insightful answers. The problem here is not only with the artists, promoters of African art in the diaspora have not broken loose from that chain of "one man battle". The term AFROBEAT is often misunderstood or miss represented by diaspora DJs for NAIJABEATS. promoters also contributed to the chat the puts mainly Nigerian or Jamaican artists on their line ups indiscriminately which only promotes these two already huge brands in concerts and festivals for their financial gains.
all in all good observations bro. Until we learn to think more of our collective success our individual success will only be for a short while and in a small space
No Bro, we don't just support our own. We love good music. Nigerian artists spends hugely in music making, talent hunt, label management etc. Once any Zambian artist pops up with a hit..I bet you it will trend more in Nigeria than Zambia. Let them go beyond the border and try collaborate with these popular artists, it will stand them out easily. Again label management is so important because majority of these musicians in Nigeria simply do little while the label managers do a lot of their promotion. One Africa ✌
In part, I enjoyed this video because it was not calling for a boycott of Nigerian music but for people to support Zambian music (there are too many reasons I liked it to list). It also made cemented the view that Africa urgently needs to become more integrated, that would help in situations described where artists are from small countries and therefore don't have enough scale to attract collaborations from international or continental artists. If Africa was more integrated fans from the DRC (and other surrounding countries) could catch a train into Zambia to see a collaboration between musicians. I'm not sure about the population argument though because Jamaican music blew up and it's a country of 3 million people.
Mmmmmm My Br Brian Bwembya,awe kwena u are very right and u said the facts about Zambian music industry. Especially unity,Authenticity, corporate and Management mmmmmmmm awe Zambian artist need to work on these matters. Otherwise B'Flow walanda ichishinka...
Bro, You left out a vital point: they are talented! Parents in Nigeria don't pamper their kids too much......they also: always set higher standards for their kids.
The reason why nigerian artist win and they can easily collaborate is because of something Nigerians call whining ( giving lots of compliments to people you meet jokingly) most African artists don't know how to whine... Artist from other countries don't know how to jokingly ask for that collab they clearly want but a nigerian artist leave him backstage with an International act he will wine and get his collab.... He will jokingly ask for it.... Whining is the main reason why Nigerians move and succeed... They can compliment you on demand quickly no pride or shame
If population is a factor for the success of Nigeria music industry then Chinese music would have been the most populous in the world so, that postulation is wrong into to.
@@littdesmond4168 Jamaica has a population of below 3 million people, yet they songs get over 20million views on RUclips. Be original, promote your culture and you will see the magic
am a nigerian, also a dj and i totally agree with all you said, in nigeria the standard of music is high, typical examples are the likes of the up coming artiste like omah lay, fireboy, wurld, tems speaks professionalism even though they are still new in the game, the only reason why ghana music industry is growing right now for example is because of collaboration, and also the govt creating the right conducive environment, such as physical structures, music policy about consuming local content, individual artist achievements e.g shatta wale collaboration with beyonce, the fans wants something to be proud of, something to celebrate , only reason why still ghana music for example is not big yet in nigeria as it should be is just the quality of their music , such as production , lyrics, song writing , melody , quality of videos, but besides that ... theyare on the right part ..
Nigeria is not up to 200m, the corrupt northern military heads of states, gave a false sensus numbers, to make the North much in number, and I thi k some other regions did same too, Nigeria don't know her population, we ate not up to 200m
@@chimyyoungdoc519 You may be right. But there have never been an accurate census in any part of the world. People die every second and new babies are born. So in that case all census are fraud. Lol
@@samtheoutdoor but you and I know Nigeria is not up to 200m, the politicians knows this better than you, they falsify these numbers to get loans and grants from home and abroad, our leaders are not sincere with us, they use these numbers to loorh our collective wealth, we are many, but Nigeria is not even up to 150m, if a proper census is conducted, there is no place in the world where the people who live in arid region are more in population than people who live in the savana, but in Nigeria, the arid North are more in population than the southern part which is in the savana, you see my logic, they North use such figures to control the national assembly, they have more local governments, more senators and more federal character job advantage, and the major reason they have refused to atkeast restructure Nigeria
It's really about harnessing your own tune and developing it. Just don't forget your own sound. That is why Nigerian music seem to win. A Nigerian rapper rapping like an American would not succeed at all in Nigeria, the Nigerian sound has to be there. I love sjava, Habib koite etc because they sound like their own culture and that's interesting to anyone, regardless of language.
we are one big family my brother no need for these comparisons I am tired of Ghanians Cameroonians Ugandans South Africans etc complaining of Nigerian music dominating yet they are clamouring for one Africa what will happen when Africans free trade agreement they will start another problem Nigeria goods are dominating
I don't know about South africans complaining about nigerian music. Sure we doing OK as it is. Having our own sound of music as well that u don't find anywhere in the world.
@ Gilbert Chinedu. I always wonder about this. They bash Nigeria all day and scream Africa unite. Just look at what they are having high BP over... Music. They are very transparent and I personally don't care about uniting with other Africans . We are different. They know this and they should stop singing from the same hymn sheet of Africa unite, one live Africa, when deep down in their hearts they know pan Africanism is a big scam and a lie.
You’re a very smart man, I mean very very smart man. Your stats and analysis is ON POINT !!!. POC though, Nigeria hasn’t had a population census since 1996, that’s when we was 195m, right now we are almost 210m people !!!. Finally, make sure you explain to your people, that Nigeria is MASSIVE, they should stop wasting their time trying to be like Nigeria or even think they will ever be better, there is money, popularity and success in numbers, Zambia isn’t even the population of my Anambra state. Let them do their thing and enjoy what it brings to the table. Right now I am in the USA, the American culture has completely conquered all the cultures in and around them, literally swallowed it all, their traditions still remain, but their cultures have problems, that’s what Nigeria has done to the rest of Africa and instead of these Africans to come on board and join Nigeria ( diamond platinum did and blew ) to blow !!. They’re busy arguing about banning Nigerian music and films, banning Nigerian artistes , etc.
No they should just stop the competition, we are in every country, so if Cameron and Ghana like they should stop listening to Nigerian music we will still excel , instead of doing collaborations people want to hate
Interesting. Nigerians used to be into foreign music at a time. Then they graduated into some African genres; notably zouk and makosa. It was practically the only anglophone country where Awilo Logonmba's song was almost the national anthem, and they had no clue what he is saying.
I've been a fan of Zed Music all my life and yeah I agree with with part of your list. My opinion on this matter is on the quality of the the works done by most of our artists. If we [Zambians and many other countries] contribute to the growth of Naija Entertainment industry, why can't they [Nigerians] do the same to ours? When it comes to music quality, there are only a few Zambian Artists that stand out, hence it's hard to attract people's attention, especially those that don't understand the language being used. I try so hard to watch & "like" every Zambian video I come across on RUclips just to support my local team. The more videos I see the more I understand that most of our artists lack proper management if at all the have managers. #NO_OFFENSE
@Chisau Banda, it is not the exclusive job of Nigerians to help you push your music and culture. If you want us to support you, do good music and videos, you'll be shocked that you don't even need Nigerians to help before it becomes a world wide movement. If population were the basis for good music, Chnia and India would be ranked as the best in the world. Music has to do about winning people's heart with your art. Music is not limited by language. You need to change your mentality.
@RO Dizzle Bro I wasn't blaming you, I think you didn't understand my comment. What I meant was that even though we can't understand your language, we Zambians, as well as many other African countries are attracted to Nigerian music because of the the quality of the music. If our local artists can try and do the same (add quality to their music), our music will also start attracting others outside Zambia.
@@jossyt7001 That's what I was actually talking about. Currently the quality of our music can't compete on the international market that's why we get less views on RUclips. We only have a few artists that stand out on that regard. But we're getting there🇿🇲.
As a Nigerian who lives in Zambia, you have not told a lie here. That said I still dig Zambian music though, especially yours. Sadly some Zambians even try to copy Nigerian accent in their songs. I treat Zambian artistes I meet with total respect and I don't treat them like some Zambians do, whenever I ask any Zambian artiste for an autograph, I get this shocking look from them like they have never been asked.
Zambia is one of Africa's many "hidden jewels". In the West, many people have heard of Nigeria but the brand is somewhat tarnished by the antics of some Nigerians overseas. Less people have heard of Zambia, but those that do have nothing but praise for your country. I think it's better to grow a good reputation rather than erase a negative reputation.
Nigerian people created their own style, and were original, also they speak English which is very important if you want to connect with western societies. Notice how Nigerian artists speak English together with their native language. Don’t try and be like the English, Americans, Jamaicans or Nigerians, be yourselves.
RO Dizzle I don’t know about original because African music has always been there. But yes Nigerians found a way to create and International fan base as African music before was mostly sang in a language. Yes you speak Pigin but you also speak English. If you were speaking your language fully I doubt it would connect in places like America or the UK but the fact that you use English defiantly helps.
@@Classicbeauty857 my dear, its mostly pidgin English that you think is English. Check out some Nigerian song reactions here on RUclips, they don't understand our accent and the language, all they vibe to is the quality beats.
@@kenziestv6934 yes, and it’s the broken English which means international audiences are able to understand and connect with it. if you were speaking Yoruba fluently or any other native language, it would be difficult to connect, the songs which hit the charts internationally are mostly in English or broken English. Yea beats plays a part, like with any music but the language used is also a major factor. Also I’m speaking about the Nigerian artist who are successful in the west.

So it's not about population thing and another thing is Nigerians likes to compete with themselves a lot and they also like to appreciate their own too.... There's more to it than just population, If you know music very well, You won't talk about population, Many Africans claim to be Nigerian abroad instead of being themselves... I never met an African abroad and they introduce me to their music... There was a time the American music was the only music we listen to in Nigeria.... Imagine growing up i listen to a lot of jay Z and 50 cent and snoop dogg, Eminem, Name them, A lot of them... I even had a fake tattoo of the name 50 cent when i was a teenager but today everything changed.... Love your own and be Unique, We as Nigerians use different African sound to make music just to be part of their genre and also Support all Africans.... Let's love ourselves as Africans and represent ourselves all over the world cause African is the Future...
@@FineTech-l6o You don't understand the point, The point is even when you are a small country, your music can still find relevance. Jamaica is a case in point. It has just about 3 million people.
I'm at Artist and I'll tell you for Free it's Just the Amount of Talent Nigerians got that's doing the work.... Good music will sell anywhere in the world... Jerusalem by master Kg is the biggest song in 2020 a South African song... Parti after Parti wasn't a Nigerian song, we play good songs we don't care if it's from Nigeria or any parts of Africa.... One love ❤️🙏
Good presentation and no hatred from you, that's a good start. If you think Nigeria music is good, embrace it, re-invent it and improve on it. Then the whole world will listen to you. Nigerians understand this, that's why we embrace the best from every corner of the world.
Made so much sense 👍🏿👍🏿
Even I a Nigerian did not realise these points until you laid them out. You did justice to this topic. You got me to subscribe.
All I know is that when I see a handsome African man, I subscribe so I can listen to fine man. Who get time... No be me

Am a Nigerian..
And I think Zambians should be placed on high esteem..
Never knew people like this were in Zambia ❤️❤️❤️
im igbo and my favourite music is Yoruba music. ........its not about the language, just the music, awilo wasn't Nigerian, but every Nigerian knows who he is, and grew up to that makossa dance....if its good, and out there.... they will listen....its not like Nigerians are using jazz
Why do Nigerians call that makossa? Makossa is from Cameroon.. Your neighbour.. Congolese do something else :)
@@twister80 i honestly have no idea, but thats what they called it when i was little 😂.... it was a congolese musician, but oh well

The biggest reason is they compete with theirselves and they know good music, they dont care where it comes from.
Truth... Till date I don't know what really is Zambian music...
I would agree with these points! The point with the amount of population have to be more differentiated. I believe that the central problem is the copying or Faith one must sound Western, sound like Americans musicians! You are locally know in Zambia and want to sound like Usher or copy that is a battle you can't win. Yes, across the EU 🇪🇺 most people don't know anything about Zambia. It is a problem with the country itself. Self-marketing is bad. There are countries like Mali 🇲🇱 (19 million Population) or Senegal 🇸🇳 (15 million) their music is played in Germany 🇩🇪 , the Netherlands 🇳🇱 etc with a positive response. Don't forget the people who come from the islands, i.e. people with African roots who are looking for authenticity. Some bands from Mali 🇲🇱 are booked each year to come to African festivals. The music is authentic and that's what people want to hear, especially people on the European continent. People want to learn about the culture / traditions of a country through music. They want to experience a journey to another world. I agree that Zambians generally cannot hold together. Even art comes only from West African culture. Increasingly, I feel that many people in Zambia are ashamed to be "black". Live and celebrate culture! Music in Ghana 🇬🇭 has emerged from the shadow of Nigeria!! The cohesion and pride in West Africa is more pronounced. When I see how people from Zambia behave because they have inhaled European air, is frightening!!
Very true @Noreenhart valid points you've brought out... I think colonialism hit us real bad 🤔 seems we are not proud of what we really are as a people... we failing to integrate our tradition in most things we do, because we think it's inferior or shameful.
@@benjaminliswaniso2620 I really do not want to paint the devil on the wall, but we have serious problems in Zambia. Our mentality as Zambians is very questionable. Nor do I want to lump all Zambians together. There is a lot going on right now in Zambia. We need a rational approach to address things that affect a lot of people. Incitement or recrimination will not bring this country any further. Many Zambians lack knowledge, i.e. general knowledge is quite low. Many judgments that people make are not based on knowledge or reflection, but only on whether the person's nose suits me. Many people in Zambia do not have a solid backbone. They are like a flag that changes direction with the wind. In my opinion, many people in Zambia are 'emotion-driven' and prejudiced. They are rarely able to hear the truth but are always willing to defend a lie just because the person's nose is to their taste. They are constantly judging without facts. They are people who constantly pull other people down. Words of encouragement are alien to them. As I said, we have serious problems. The attitude of the people in Zambia urgently needs to change. Why do not we have love for each other? As I said, I prefer a rational approach. There are many things that we need to address relentlessly in Zambia. RUclipsr Channels like this one or like Elias Munshya are important. It is not the right time to emotionally arouse people. Many people need factual knowledge. Some RUclipsrs put many people in a permanent emotional state of arousal, which I think is dangerous. *The points mentioned in this video can be broken down to one thing: "our inability to hold together and support each other". This is a sad realization.*
Tourism in Zambia is so badly marketed that you could die from boredom. The person being selected to represent the section is basically “skin-bleached, wearing a wig” Nobody in Europe wants to see anything like that. Where is zambia's diversity? The person is chosen only because many people think: "She is "beautiful". What beauty concept does Zambia have? Why is Kenya so successful when we talk about tourism? Because Tradition/culture comes first. It is appalling how much the ethnic origin [tribal] of a person in Zambia is addressed. We are just fooling ourselves and hiding beyond a slogan “Zambia is a Christian Nation”. I wonder, is Zambia not having intellectuals? Sociologists? Ethnologists? Historians? Zambia must usher in the era of enlightenment. I rest my case.
Population has nothing to do with it. Jamaica has about 3m and there music is global. You are intelligent and humble.

I love the instrumental sound u use to start .
I'm a Nigerian and I love Zambia and Zambian music.
Zambia has a lot of great musicians. In fact, they're very talented.
However, music has gone digital and what really counts now is the number of streams a song can pull.
There cannot be streaming without access to the internet. Of the 17million people of Zambia, only about 28% percent has access to the internet. This must change.
India has more people but don't make as good music, Talent and interest has alot to do as well
That’s it but all they see is the Nigerian population so funny
@Biobele, China is the most populated country in the world and their music and language sound so horrible and ugly....to my ear though.
Population has zero impact on our music.
At independence, Nigeria was about 45-50 million, even more than Zambia of today, but our music was just regional or national at best...so it has to do with uniqueness, video quality and sounds...amongst other little factors.
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 Population is just a lousy excuse that they use to cover their laziness and lack of marketability. The population of Jamaica is less than 3 million, yet Reggae and Dancehall music is the 2nd most popular music in the world after hip hop and R&B. Zambia's population is 18 million, Ghana is 30 million, and Kenya is 54 million. If the Jamaicans can promote their music with a population of under 3 million, then why can't Zambia, Ghana,and Kenya? 🤔🤨😑.

Very valids point make a video about the solution to the same issues u raised on the population I totally agree with you even in terms of investment personally I will invest in a huge country with lots people
Thank you for addressing this issue in the simplest way without insightful answers. The problem here is not only with the artists, promoters of African art in the diaspora have not broken loose from that chain of "one man battle". The term AFROBEAT is often misunderstood or miss represented by diaspora DJs for NAIJABEATS. promoters also contributed to the chat the puts mainly Nigerian or Jamaican artists on their line ups indiscriminately which only promotes these two already huge brands in concerts and festivals for their financial gains.
U are right, I have run into an Africa who talk down on me, but I will never talk down on African
BFlow Very true my man we should for sure support our local artist
all in all good observations bro. Until we learn to think more of our collective success our individual success will only be for a short while and in a small space
No Bro, we don't just support our own. We love good music. Nigerian artists spends hugely in music making, talent hunt, label management etc. Once any Zambian artist pops up with a hit..I bet you it will trend more in Nigeria than Zambia. Let them go beyond the border and try collaborate with these popular artists, it will stand them out easily. Again label management is so important because majority of these musicians in Nigeria simply do little while the label managers do a lot of their promotion.
One Africa ✌
Brian bwembya tnks God bless you. 4 the truth

Everything On.Point!!!!!! In this day and age, non label artists STRUGGLE🥶🥶🥶. It's why Sarkodie's work in Ghana cannot be ignored.
I'm Nigerian bro and I think u re making lots of sense
The instrumental you used on your intro and outro of this vid where can I get it 💣
In part, I enjoyed this video because it was not calling for a boycott of Nigerian music but for people to support Zambian music (there are too many reasons I liked it to list). It also made cemented the view that Africa urgently needs to become more integrated, that would help in situations described where artists are from small countries and therefore don't have enough scale to attract collaborations from international or continental artists. If Africa was more integrated fans from the DRC (and other surrounding countries) could catch a train into Zambia to see a collaboration between musicians. I'm not sure about the population argument though because Jamaican music blew up and it's a country of 3 million people.
Most Nigerians are naturally entertaining though.
Honestly

No one can dim the light of Nigeria musicians, they are just stupid to think so
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s just the wave. The other day it was rumba (Congo) then it was kwaito (South African) now it’s Nigeria.
The reason why nigerian artist win and they can easily collaborate is because of something Nigerians call whining ( giving lots of compliments to people you meet jokingly) most African artists don't know how to whine... Artist from other countries don't know how to jokingly ask for that collab they clearly want but a nigerian artist leave him backstage with an International act he will wine and get his collab.... He will jokingly ask for it.... Whining is the main reason why Nigerians move and succeed... They can compliment you on demand quickly no pride or shame
no lie in this at all!😆. I am Nigerian
If population is a factor for the success of Nigeria music industry then Chinese music would have been the most populous in the world so, that postulation is wrong into to.

Can’t we just have African music? Period! The diversity in Africa should be seen as a beauty. We should not compare. Me thinks.
am a nigerian, also a dj and i totally agree with all you said, in nigeria the standard of music is high, typical examples are the likes of the up coming artiste like omah lay, fireboy, wurld, tems speaks professionalism even though they are still new in the game, the only reason why ghana music industry is growing right now for example is because of collaboration, and also the govt creating the right conducive environment, such as physical structures, music policy about consuming local content, individual artist achievements e.g shatta wale collaboration with beyonce, the fans wants something to be proud of, something to celebrate , only reason why still ghana music for example is not big yet in nigeria as it should be is just the quality of their music , such as production , lyrics, song writing , melody , quality of videos, but besides that ... theyare on the right part ..
Nigeria is influential to the whole project that got shatter wale featured.
Thank you brother. One peace!
Good job bro. Zambia is a beautiful country. Regards

Nigeria is not up to 200m, the corrupt northern military heads of states, gave a false sensus numbers, to make the North much in number, and I thi k some other regions did same too, Nigeria don't know her population, we ate not up to 200m

It's really about harnessing your own tune and developing it. Just don't forget your own sound. That is why Nigerian music seem to win. A Nigerian rapper rapping like an American would not succeed at all in Nigeria, the Nigerian sound has to be there.
I love sjava, Habib koite etc because they sound like their own culture and that's interesting to anyone, regardless of language.

@ Gilbert Chinedu. I always wonder about this. They bash Nigeria all day and scream Africa unite. Just look at what they are having high BP over... Music. They are very transparent and I personally don't care about uniting with other Africans . We are different. They know this and they should stop singing from the same hymn sheet of Africa unite, one live Africa, when deep down in their hearts they know pan Africanism is a big scam and a lie.
You’re a very smart man, I mean very very smart man. Your stats and analysis is ON POINT !!!.
POC though, Nigeria hasn’t had a population census since 1996, that’s when we was 195m, right now we are almost 210m people !!!. Finally, make sure you explain to your people, that Nigeria is MASSIVE, they should stop wasting their time trying to be like Nigeria or even think they will ever be better, there is money, popularity and success in numbers, Zambia isn’t even the population of my Anambra state. Let them do their thing and enjoy what it brings to the table. Right now I am in the USA, the American culture has completely conquered all the cultures in and around them, literally swallowed it all, their traditions still remain, but their cultures have problems, that’s what Nigeria has done to the rest of Africa and instead of these Africans to come on board and join Nigeria ( diamond platinum did and blew ) to blow !!. They’re busy arguing about banning Nigerian music and films, banning Nigerian artistes , etc.
No they should just stop the competition, we are in every country, so if Cameron and Ghana like they should stop listening to Nigerian music we will still excel , instead of doing collaborations people want to hate
God bless you sir
You gave Nigerian Government too much credit. The Government is the obstacle holding back Nigeria.
Interesting. Nigerians used to be into foreign music at a time. Then they graduated into some African genres; notably zouk and makosa. It was practically the only anglophone country where Awilo Logonmba's song was almost the national anthem, and they had no clue what he is saying.
I agree with all your points! 💯🇳🇬

That is the truth...especially the issue of Authenticity...Zambian Music lack Identity.
I've been a fan of Zed Music all my life and yeah I agree with with part of your list. My opinion on this matter is on the quality of the the works done by most of our artists. If we [Zambians and many other countries] contribute to the growth of Naija Entertainment industry, why can't they [Nigerians] do the same to ours? When it comes to music quality, there are only a few Zambian Artists that stand out, hence it's hard to attract people's attention, especially those that don't understand the language being used. I try so hard to watch & "like" every Zambian video I come across on RUclips just to support my local team. The more videos I see the more I understand that most of our artists lack proper management if at all the have managers.
#NO_OFFENSE
@Chisau Banda, it is not the exclusive job of Nigerians to help you push your music and culture. If you want us to support you, do good music and videos, you'll be shocked that you don't even need Nigerians to help before it becomes a world wide movement. If population were the basis for good music, Chnia and India would be ranked as the best in the world. Music has to do about winning people's heart with your art. Music is not limited by language. You need to change your mentality.

Bro I wasn't blaming you, I think you didn't understand my comment. What I meant was that even though we can't understand your language, we Zambians, as well as many other African countries are attracted to Nigerian music because of the the quality of the music.

Nigerian people created their own style, and were original, also they speak English which is very important if you want to connect with western societies. Notice how Nigerian artists speak English together with their native language. Don’t try and be like the English, Americans, Jamaicans or Nigerians, be yourselves.
RO Dizzle I don’t know about original because African music has always been there. But yes Nigerians found a way to create and International fan base as African music before was mostly sang in a language. Yes you speak Pigin but you also speak English. If you were speaking your language fully I doubt it would connect in places like America or the UK but the fact that you use English defiantly helps.
