AFRICAN MUSIC INDUSTRY, did Nigerians really learn from Ghana?

"That Nigeria made a deliberate effort to use music, movies and art to wipe off the image of 419..." Now that is a LIE from the pit of hell. Nigeria's music, movies and art grew and developed in leaps and bounds over the years even before independence. Because most of our first generation artistes in film, music, comedy and art perfected their craft on public TVs and Radio before they broke out into commercial art business. This started from the old WNTV/WNBS (1st TV station in Africa) in the 50s to the national TV & radio network of NTA & FRCN. There was no 419 then. The development to where we are now was organic and natural not a deliberate image campaign, absolute BS.

[@adewaleoladayo9359]

What I noticed here is that 90% of the comments and traffic on all Ghanaian podcasts are from Nigeria viewers. You see Nigerians are the ones increasing the viewership of all the podcasts across Ghana. It’s time to put respect

[@Ade-uw2jb]

This Ghanaian people self, highlife didn't start in Ghana. Point of correction.

[@teejaystudios220]

But nobody said so in the podcast or….

[@anniejames3059]

The real owner of highlife are Liberia and slerra leone I don't know why Ghanans always say they own highlife

[@patti-robbomediaentertainm7741]

can you imagine. they just gather to deceive themselves always. Nigerians Learn from Ghana but your industry is backward . You need to get sence

[@dayjih]

Serra Leon and Liberia birthed highlife music

[@teejaystudios220]

Lol, prove it with facts….

[@oski0077]

​@teejayfilms2984 Yes, liberia and Sierra Leon; the kru people who worked with the Portuguese during the transatlantic slave trade and also the returnees of the slaves from the Caribbeans formed the palmwine music( which contains soco, calypso, native carribian music, africa dinctive sounds) The highlife- palmwine music is played amongst the west African coaster areas with distinctive cultural sounds of highlife. Liberia, Gambia, ivory coast, nigeria, ghana etc. Highlife is not a Ghanaian invention but Ghanaian popularized it during 1900s.

[@dayjih]

@@oski0077 Yeah and even that Calypso belongs to the Nupe and Tiv tribes in modern day Nigeria.The then slaves took it with them, refined it and brought it back! It's more like a cycle kinda!!

[@gentlebaba2146]

Until your musicians are ready to leave their comfort zone, you will keep on talking. Here in Nigeria we don't care about our government, we hustle to survive and that's why we are always business minded

[@margaretwumi751]

Am yet to see a Nigerian KZbinr will seat down daily talking about Nigeria to drag traffic on the channel. Nigerian are here because of the caption.

[@emmanuelayodele7901]

Nigerians don't actually care. 1. How many podcasts have you seen by Nigerians talking about Ghana 2. How many television programs have you seen in Nigeria talking about Ghana 3. How many television stations have you seen where the presenters talk about Ghana the way Ghanaians talk about Nigeria. The only reason why we comment is because you talk about us and sometimes in a way that is kind of disrespectful.

[@MelodiesOfMamaAfrica]

And to at least correct the misinformation

[@saidat98]

There's a certain man called Ogunde who was into music and movies in Nigeria way back, before Nigeria's independence. BTW, Fela started his music in UK.

[@STAYCOOL-ep6qy]

Can you people stop comparing yourselves to Nigerians???? Ghana has to comparing itself with Liberia, Sierra Leone or The Gambia.

[@teejaystudios220]

Lol

[@inyedouglas]

Ghana should leave music and concentrate on Banku and make it global. 😅

[@anniejames3059]

The guy don't know about the history of higlife the real owner are laberias and slerra leone it started from laberias

[@charlesokoro654]

There were music artists before Fela, and he did not start high life in Nigeria point of correction. We always pick and share ideas,that is what Fela did and this had influenced his music. From music school in London, US ,Ghana and Nigeria. His Ghanaian friend Ebo Taylor testify to how fela create Afro beat I'm Nigeria. We Nigerians have our indigenous music just like any African and some music have some beats in common . I can mention many akan, Ga and ewe words very close and of the same meaning to that of nigerians. You can make your findings.

[@ekenesamuel9004]

Ghana say the Nigerians came to learn. Cameroon say the Nigerians came to learn Congo say the Nigerians came to learn Every Ghanaian KZbinr that wants Nigerian viewership has to bite this topic, then you will hear "They will come for us".......are you guys not tired? NY is a learned and well researched guy, you side stepped some of your earlier positions. I will agree with you on the Highlife take, musical historians attest to the facts that highlife is a West African sounds which is diversed based on country. Fela is a musical genius, he studied music in UK and was roommate with Ebo Taylor. There was no social media in his time but he was aware of sounds coming from all of Africa, Europe and America, and he was well travelled. This was why he created Afrobeat - which has components from Jazz, Funk, Soul, Juju, highlife and Fuji. Search for any of his concert, you will find all the instruments that makes all these genres. The idea that Fela went to Ghana to learn was highly misconstrue, he went on political asylum because of his music and constant criticism of government, his mother was thrown from a balcony to death by the then military government. His great grandfather built the first musical studio in Africa

[@Ade-uw2jb]

I think this guy doesn't know what he was saying. If people don't mention Nigerian in their podcasts, Nigerians will not comment.

[@remakrealty]

Okay bro, Pls do a search on this Nigeria artists from the 70s. They already got signed to international labels from way back and winning grammmys and getting nominations from the 90s “Sunny Ade” “Ebenezer Obey” “ Majeek Fasheek” “Ayinla Omo Wura” Nigeria music sound generated from this people. There is a music genre Called “FUJI”

[@ClementOfremu-uy3wo]

Highlife was been play i liberia serelone Nigeria Gabon across the shahel yet Ghana 🇬🇭 music yet they are local champions

[@papap1186]

If your cheap local artists stop sounding Nigerian no one will tag them as a Nigerians. Tell your artists to stop copy Nigerians and stop sounding Nigerian.

[@uncensored2282]

uselesss show. nigerians have better things to focus on. the gdp of lagos alone is almost twice that of ghana.🤣🤣🤣

[@herose76]

What exactly is the issue here , Fela came to Ghana to learn what ?. Fela was sent to London to study law but he decided to study music. Why studying music there were other Ghanaian students in the same school, him coming to Ghana meaning he had already established friendship with his Ghanaian counterpart.

[@ClementOfremu-uy3wo]

Nigeria s tired about Ghana that the size of a state n Nigeria go and compared ur to Cameron or chad not Nigeria s too big for can cat compared him self to lion

[@kelvinobi3577]

Nice convo👏 But don't u guys think it's stupid to keep saying "Nigeria learn from us or they stole from us"...cus the afrobeat of today tap into every part of music genre..so why would nigeria learn from u specifically..u guys aren't good or creative enough..cus all u all wanted has always wanted is "OUR OWN"..always looking for ur own🤦‍♂️. And that guy that said nigeria don't care about Ghana..what he meant to say is Nigerians in nigeria don't think or speak about ghana the way ur media does...that banta thing has always been one sided

Why lie when i'm very sure you know the truth but just want to mislead the ones with no information about the situation. As a journalist, you shouldn't gamble with misinformation hoping no one's gonna catch you!

[@Sonofthesoil2]

Ghanians please let me ask you people, why is it that every podcast or KZbinrs in Ghana, all their discussion is Nigeria this, Nigeria that, don't you Ghanians has any other things to discuss? Nigeria don't have time talking about Ghanians, Nigeria podcast and KZbinrs talk about other things and us, you hardly sees Nigerian podcast brings out their time always talking about Ghana, Ghanians problem is Nigeria that is why we are always ahead of you people, other Africans focus on theirs, enter south Africa podcast now, you will not see them wasting their time talking about one particular people or country cause they have so many things to talk about, and because of this Ghanians will always be under Nigeria shadows, you people should try and win some other small countries first, look at Togo close to Ghana but Ghana music can not dominate just Togo and this is what Ghanians should be thinking of not Nigeria, to the worst thing that can happen to someone is when you don't know who is bigger than you, Nigeria don't have time for Ghana, if Nigeria wants to talk about something we talked about what will make us stronger and bigger, Ghanians has opportunity of something now but they don't care about that, highlife is there now no one has already showcase it to the world and this is the opportunity for Ghanians, when Nigeria will jump into it now you people will start crying to the world cause that what Ghanians are good at, the opportunity is there for you people to showcase it to the world now.... Love from Naija
