5 REASONS Why TONTO DIKEH Is Better Than TIWA SAVAGE!

It's no news that Nigerian music artiste D'BANJ had signed-on fellow compatriot but actress cum singer TONTO DIKEH under the DB Records management.

Though it's still not clear whether TONTO is going to perform in the mix as a performing artiste or part of the PR mechanism of DB Records.
Regardless of these twists, some 'schools of thought' have compared the creative abilities of the female acts in two competing music labels now - TONTO DIKEH and TIWA SAVAGE (who's signed to MAVIN Records - founded by Don Jazzy) - tipping the former to be slightly a better bargain than the latter.

Here's 5 Simple Reasons why Tonto Dikeh is deemed a better option than Tiwa Savage:

* Tonto Dikeh's brand has an already huge audience, from her exploits in Nollywood;
* 'Controversy' is her middle name - and Tonto attract such with ease - and 'negative news' is most times good for business;
* Tiwa Savage tries too hard to be sexy - it's not by ability, it's natural and Tonto Dikeh has got it!;
* Tonto has an advantage of possessing at-least two major talents - Acting & Music - though her exploits in Music so far is arguable;
* Probably in most contexts, an actress has more wits to 'play out a script' than an artiste would do in music.

Though these reasons highlighted might not be conclusive but it's a piece based on feedbacks from the public.
Do you agree with any of or all of the reasons - let's have your thoughts.

34TH Birthday » Time To Have A ReThink, D'BANJ!

#RollBack
It's Now An OPEN SECRET: D'BANJ's Music Career Has Finally ENDED?!

Imagine this about five or six years ago and one cannot even see a reasonable fault in the career-path of a young man who was ready to take-on the music dominance by all means 'natural'.
Few years on after his purported split with his huge mentor/ producer/partner Michael 'Don Jazzy' Collins, it now seems just clear that what 'was to be' is 'now gone' for one of the then Nigeria's most promising talents - Dapo 'D'Banj' Oyebanjo.

Don't get this piece wrong, his personality could still fetch him some top dollars here & there but the current situation is not guaranteed for the next few years.

For Banga Lee, it was all about the fame and pseudo-praises - for true superstars it's always the music contents and how such connect with fans that leave a lasting legacy.
For emphasis, true legends like late Bob Marley, late Michael Jackson, living legend Tuface Idibia, living legend King Sunny Ade - represent huge greater legacy.

Twice he was sought for major collaborations which were supposed to be huge positive turnarounds for, not for D'Banj now but, the original song versions - and twice he had failed to find his lost courage. First was the remix to the smashing original hit 'Kukere' by Iyanya, and just recently a cross-over hit (and supposed alternative national anthem) 'Double Wahala' by revived Oritse Femi.

Yes, he is a good entertainer - but without a viable content, that means nothing according to Standards.
An exclusive interview recently granted with one of the top executives at Music Television (MTV) revealed that D'Banj is really not a bankable artist internationally (for the long term); as opposed to many opinions in Nigeria. Surprisingly the top MTV executive chose Bankole 'Banky W' Wellington ahead of D'Banj, with of-course Tuface Idibia topping the list from The African continent.

Probably admirers of D'Banj might be struggling it off saying "well he's still making the millions of Naira". I quite agree, and I'm a fan of him too. But it should also understood that music business always thrive for the long term, and international investors recognize that trend as well.
He might have won the last edition of the World Music Awards where selections are huge based on fans sentiments and nominations, but have you also wondered why he lost out woefully at the recently held MTV MAMA Awards?
At the awards of Africans by Africans for Africans, he wasn't even nominated in one single category!

Reiterating - this piece is not supposed to relate a solution but it's an eye-opener for many fans who are still glued to sentiments to note that, to be a legend then that personality must have a legacy. At this moment, D'Banj has not attained that level yet.
Despite his self-craved noise about him making millions of naira, the 'yellow light' is flashing already.

Anyways, we wish him many more good things in life as he celebrates his 34th birthday - from the CriticalBlog crew.

REPORT: A Stern Advice To Runaway Nigerian Rapper eLDee.

Ordinarily there shouldn't have been any reason for this piece. But a certain need to inform some novice among Nigerian music artistes who seem to have lost their reasoning in moments uder pressure.

The Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria (BON) and Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria (IBAN) couple of days ago jointly issued a press release ascertaining the ban of (music) content airplay of Niger music artistes who are registered under the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) imprint. The reason was highlighted that COSON is keen o harassing BON/IBAN member (radio/TV) stations on forceful payments of unjustified and uncontitutional fees as royalties for usage of music contents of Nierian artistes.
Although there had been mixed reactions towards the shocking declaration by the broadcast media to seize airplay of indigenous music contents, there seem to be a progressive trend of dialogue between the BON/IBAN and COSON mediated by NBC and PMAN to find a suitable pact to end the evolving crisis.




However, a particular statement credited to runaway rapper now turned singer Lanre Dabiri popularly known "eLDee", to a very large extent, really made a whole mess to the entire situation. And a testimony to the fact that some artistes just "talk careless before reasoning". Less than 48hours when the purported ban on most Nigerian music artistes had been sanctioned by BON/IBAN, our dear rapper-turn-singer eLDee wrote on twitter, thus:




Even the average illiterate Nigerian cannot ridicule the transmission strength of radio media, not to even talk of the TV broadcast. ELDee seem to depend so much on social media platforms, but he has forgotten that the most active social media networks could only boast of over a one-third of the entire audience in a typical age-distributive society.

And probably due to the nature that it doesn't cost an 'arm & leg' to get access to a radio content unlike the weekly or monthly subscriptions to get access to the internet; traditional or contemporary, modern or technological improvement, no matter how it is presented - radio media will always have more audience and followership than the SM avenues.

Or maybe he has also failed to realise that the affected banned Nigerian artistes stand to lose the unlimited privileges of song/album reviews, promotional interviews, endorsement opportunities (which I don't think he understands because he has none), exclusive media coverage, and lots of other benefits that the radio provides on free-to-air basis, same with the terrestial TV media.

No doubt, if the present ban should be adherred-to in its entirety even with the presence of social media, I stand to be corrected that Nigerian artistes would be the ones at a major loss and not the broadcast stations.

Can't figure-out what exactly eLDee would want to prove - no thriving artiste on Tribes Records, admire his courage though, still keeping the vision of the music label. Unfortunately, we can only look at what the relevant artistes would certainly lose from the unfortunate ban when it finally takes its full effects.
