Music in Nigeria_Transformation

Looking back a couple of years now we've seen a great influx of people coming unto the scene in the circle of music in Nigeria. But has it really changed the out look of the way the music scene ought to be?

Many have come in, not to create a better or make impact but to just add to the numbers and disturb our tv screen.

I wonder why it is so hard for us to just tell ourselves the truth "that song sucks".   Well if you care to know most of the songs on rotation are just nothing to write home about. they lack content, music and lyric wise. 

I also find it hard to see creativity and innovation in the music being but out by the so called artist in Nigeria. I am tired of sound alike and same beat syndrome. 

I believe we are yet to hear the best that Nigeria has to offer, i Believe we are yet to see an industry because right now all we have is a circle. You either belong to one or you are in another.

I am looking forward to a day when all the arms of a label will be in place to run a proper Record Label and it will not just be a family or friends affair. Looking forwards to the time when proper censorship will be in place to monitor sound quality, musical contents and also protect Intellectual Property.

If you are into music in Nigeria, it is time to change, it is time to shape up, it is time to retool, it is time to innovate. We can not  continue with "music as usual". We have to bring in professionalism and also treat the business like one that must bring back ROI.
