Singer, Omah Stanley Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has expressed deep concern over the reduction in the quality of Nigerian music and Afrobeats in general, in recent years.

In a recent interview with ViewsFrance, the Soso hitmaker accused his colleagues of not putting effort into music-making anymore.

He alleged that a lot of artists are after quick money and fame and doesn’t care about musical depth or lyrical substance.

He explained that the trend is affecting Afrobeats and the African culture negatively, especially overseas.

The singer urged his colleagues to improve their craft and give the new generation quality music.

Omah Lay said, “Nigerian Music is drifting towards a place where artists are not putting so much efforts in the art anymore.

“And that is also hurting my culture. Most artists are just playing with music these days and really not trying to improve the sound and the whole creativity around it.

“It is just quick money and it is really dipping the audience and the new generation, that level of music is what they are growing to and they are even doing worse.

“I don’t want to blame the globalisation of Afrobeats for that but that could also be one of the reasons. Generally, it is a good that that Afrobeats to the world is happening and people are getting to know us from our music. But I just wish we could strive to raise the bar a little more with the craft.”

The Performing Musicians Employers’ Association of Nigeria, PMAN, Federal Capital Territory Chapter, has said hotel owners, event planners, and other stakeholders with the country’s entertainment industry in Abuja must seek permission for live music bands or risk sanction.

The association’s acting governor, Michael Oyibo Kaycee, made this known during a press conference in Abuja on Friday.

He warned stakeholders in the entertainment sector in Abuja to always engage certified musicians.

According to him, the association would henceforth not tolerate exploitation, disrespect, or underpayment to musicians in the nation’s capital.

“You are required to obey industrial standards, engage certified musicians, and fill your obligations.

“Our task force is fully operational from today. The system has been taken for granted for too long. It is high time for everybody to understand the function of PMAN in FCT. Show planners, event planners are to take permission from the association.

He raised alarm over the sharp decline in television viewership, describing it as “extremely low” in today’s fast-evolving digital age.

“today, virtually everyone carries a television in their hands. A young boy in a remote area can gain global recognition simply through digital influence. This clearly shows that digital platforms are now the dominant force in content distribution,” he said.

He urged the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, to intervene in the plight of the association.

Veteran Nollywood actor, Taiwo Hassan, professionally known as Ogogo, has revealed why he won’t intervene in the recent fight between actress Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele.

Ogogo made this disclosure during an interview with Feel Right TV.

DAILY POST reports that Funke Akindele had on Sunday during actress Iyabo Ojo’s movie premiere snubbed Toyin Abraham.

The incident happened eight months after reconciliation of their years-long feud.

Refusing to speak on the incident during the interview, Ogogo disclosed that “women’s fights are too complicated to get involved in”.

While scolding the duo for not being sensible enough to appreciate what God has done for them in the entertainment industry, Ogogo noted that it is only an “unwise man that would interfere in women’s drama”.

“I don’t interfere in women’s disputes. Both of them are blessed by God. So, why are they fighting? When men have similar issues, they laugh over it and move on, but women will make a mountain out of a low hill with the same issues. So it’s difficult to interfere”, he stated.

Ogogo’s comment came a day after veteran actress, Saje, announced that she had reconciled them, and ordered them to take the drama off social media.
