Ghana has no stake in AFRONATION. Nigeria owns it.

[@denike1617]

Ghanaian artists keep demanding privileges they didn't work for! Building their professional entitlement on the sucess of Nigerian artists!

[@akposatigbi6531]

How can nigeria block Ghanaian from global stage . Are nigeria the owners of the global record label like empire, universal music, sony etc ? The hatred and competition and entitlement will destroy ghanian musician If not for nigerian artist inviting Ghanaian artist no Ghanaian act would have step foot on 02 arena till date. Nor big stages abroad yet they still envy and unappreciated

[@hillcrestprofessionalservi3502]

They need to blame somebody for their mediocrity. They blame their diasorans, they blame those at home, they blame fans, they blame tiktokers, they blame influencers, they blame slay queens, they blame DJs, they blame the president, they blame their "bankrollers", they blame their founding fathers, they blame their old school muscicians,they blame local promoters, they blame their foreign based promoters, they blame their footballers, they blame Nigerians but they never blame themselves the artists for producing wack music that is painful to the ears

What is the problem with Ghana about afronation coming to lagos, Nigeria? Nigerian owns Afro nation and its coming back home. Go do something for yourself and stop blaming Nigeria for your laziness

[@labricola6993]

Stoneboy and Ghana music is not african, only imitation. Nigeria music is africaness

[@denike1617]

Nigerians already showed them how to do it, now they are mad cause they have to work for it! They want Nigerians to make all the sacrifices and hand over the success to them. Of which that has already happened! The success the majority of these African artists are enjoying now is the hard work of Nigerian artists. Yet they are mad they are not doing as well as those that did the work. Crying Nigerians haven't done enough!

[@edzico1908]

Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie: " we must promote Ghanaian music and culture". Ghanaians: " yes!". The world: "but your top artists are doing reggae dancehall, promoting Jamaican culture hahahaha!!!!

They can't make it only Ghanaian because they know it won't sell. The vast majority of Ghanaian artists are not known outside of Ghana and cannot attract a huge crowd. They need the Nigerians for that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇳🇬

[@theophilusteyeosah9873]

For too long, we've been complaining about money!!! If the industry comes together to strategise, there's nothing we can't achieve. This is why those so-called 'beefs' between our local champions - stonebwoy, shatta etc and their trouble-causing movements - is so pathetic. Imagine stone, shatta, blacko, sarkodie, and others come together to strategize and plan an innovative agenda! But, naaaa...... too much stupid infighting, arrogance and name-calling!!! Stop fighting Naija. Collaboration is the way. Why do u think Nigeria movies feature Ghanaians.... TO CAPTURE THE GH MARKET. On this note, lemme suggest to blackko to do more Collaborations esp with naija ... seems to me he's not fully realized what his collab with burna boy did to kickstart his career!

The recent altercation between Sakordie and Stonebwoy on stage bears me out. Too much hatred and jealousy.

[@governmentnwankwo9906]

Which of the president is he referring to that gave Nigeria music industry money.

I think that should be President Goodluck Jonathan when he was in power then. He gave a huge sum of billions for the whole entertainment industry.

Everything we do as Nigerian is intentional…. There’s noway out for Ghana because if you move one step Nigerians will move 100 steps. I would advice you guys to appropriate your home first before trying to go out and impress

[@Makadoe1]

Ghana will always talk and talk and compare instead of investing into the art, complaining does nothing just put in work

[@Damian-rt3rt]

Trust me, we Nigerians are not as intentional about using our creative arts and entertainment industry as means of soft power. We see entertainment first from the business side ( source of money) and second as a means of keeping our sanity in an otherwise Insane clime. We are just being ourselves; we are being authentic. If we become intentional about an agenda or our government buys into it ( which is a long shot), Nigeria will become unstoppable.

[@TennysonErhabor-qr8nu]

You all should know that Nigerians are hustlers, do you think we come to Ghana or other countries to play? We are desperate and risk takers. You can sit in your comfort zone in Ghana and expect magic to happen… I haven’t seen any Ghanaian in my state here in Nigeria hustling, you all ge waiting for manner from heaven

Not all products are sellable. Ghana has products but are they consistent and do they captivates and are they indigenous to ghana, not dancehall or rap?
