Legendary musician, 2face Idibia discussed with E-Daily some of the challenges that the Nigerian music industry is facing.
According to the veteran, "The crappy music everywhere now is due to the fact that the gatekeepers play good songs when people sleep at night; when there is no one to listen to the music. So, if you do that kind of music and you wear it on the radio and they refuse to play it, what are you doing? And the bulk of the artists' financial support comes from people who want to get their money back immediately. "
2face Idibia added, "People are afraid to invest money in artists who sing good music. The music will always be entertaining, but the ear of the people has changed. You and I know that every day we listen to good music, except when we go to parties. The young people have in mind the kind of music that we are currently doing; it's difficult to remove. It must be a deliberate action to do it, "he said.
Speaking further, he glanced at the National Broadcasting Commission, lamenting how much the regulator's value systems had changed dramatically.
"Before NBC can ban any music, it's already very popular. That means they did not even hear it on time. After the song has become viral, they will want to ban it. Nobody does any work.
It is very important that we have responsible government and that we have people in charge, because if we do not have people in charge, that is the kind of government we will continue to have, "he said.
