The main reason for 80-20 campaign in Cameroon is because of Nigerian music industry dominance in Africa. CY has maliciously declare war on Nigeria but surely he gonna fizzled out. Good content anyway, I advise you do a part 2 of it. Cheers from Naija 🇳🇬🇳🇬👍🏾.
As a Nigerian, I recall my upbringing when Awilo Logomba's music truly took over the country. Clubs were buzzing, and street jams were everywhere! We didn't just support the artist; we celebrated good music. No one possesses the ultimate taste in music, and I find it quite problematic for Cameroonian content creators to attempt to enforce regulations or laws to compel people to listen to their music. Love for music can't be bought; it's a spiritual connection. There's a reason why music is often referred to as "Food" for the soul. Perhaps they should concentrate on creating better music themselves, except for the they're saying that Awilo Logomba or Labianca are you magicians 😂I presume. How could they even enforce such regulations? Shut down the internet? Or do they believe we're still in the 90s when radio and TV stations ruled? It's time to wake up and put in the effort, Cameroonian content creators Thank you.
The major point they left out is the impact of internet. Internet has broken down geographical barriers. Hence even if you (Cameroon) force your DJs, TV, Radio etc, to play 100% local music, you cannot stop your citizens from consuming music via the internet.
Dey don’t know that
@@kelvinking9484they're living in past
Cameroonians and Nigerians are supposed to be family as Cameroonians sounds and act like Nigerians than any other Africans country that why i love Cameroon so much as a Nigerian
Did you know, we Nigerian artistes learn and was patient for this glory back then, it was so bad that our artistes weren't given stade treatment once there are foreign artistes, they fought for this, it took us years,our artistes travel round Africa and the world to promote their music, we don't hate any nobody music, back then we listen to alot of Cameroonian music Ghana Cote D'Ivoire American etc no complain from our artistes
Lastly no government banned anything music in Nigeria or regulate music, we listen to good music thank you
Good debate. Radio or TV play can be cobtrolled by the government. You can't control the Internet. And for Libianca, she was pushed or promoted more by Nigerians than other people.
I love the anchor, so professional and well spoken. Keep up
We should learn from Nigeria and implement it in our industry.
I think Amazonians the English speaking sideof Cameroon are strong bright people ,
Great debate… as a Nigerian I think all the energy should be channeled to your media houses not the people. One love one Africa.
True..media and promotion houses.
Forget Gov communications, its old anyway! internet and SM is the way to go, at least its here in America. Great content
The blogger lady is extremely intelligent
Some Cameroonians are getting it wrong 😂. Is not only Cameroon consumed Nigeria music. Nigeria music is been consumed World wide, go to UK, USA, Canada, Germany etc.
The question is how many Cameroon artist produced good music to be consumed in internationally, does Cameroon has the business strategy to market their music like Nigeria in internationally, how many Cameroonians artist can match toed to toed with Nigeria artist, does Cameroon has what it takes to promote their music internationally, how many Cameroonians artist can Collaborate with international artist, does Cameroonians artist have the money to promote their music internationally?
Honestly speaking you can't force people to listen to what they don't like. People listen to good music. If Cameroon artist produced good music people will listen to it. I keep telling people It will be a mistake to compare Nigeria music to others Africa country. When it comes to entertainment, Nigeria is the standard for entertainments in Africa especially music. I don't want to talk about movies and comedy, we all know 😂😂😂
To be honest all this 80/20 is not going to work if Cameroon artist doesn't work hard. And also they need to collaborate with top Nigeria artist and sign up with big record label in other to promote their music internationally.
You can't compare Nigeria artist to any Africa artist, no disrespect to others Africa artist though. As far as music and entertainment is concerned, Nigeria is going to dominate in Africa for long, why because Nigeria artist produced good music and they work hard.
Now let's see the break down 👇
When you talk about Africa music in general, you have to mentioned the legendary fela kuti and Sunny Ade.
Nigeria 1st generation artist, the like of 2face, Psquare, Dbanj, wande coal, Timaya, Olu maintain, Faze, Flavour, Style plus, Sultan, bracket, J martins, Don Jazzy.
Nigeria 2nd generation Artist, the like of Davido, Wizkid, Olamide, Burna boy, Don Jazzy, patoranking, Iyanya, Tiwa Savage.
Nigeria 3rd generation Artist, the like of Kizz Daniel, Adekunle Gold, Yemi Alade, Mr Eazi, phyno.
Nigeria 4th generation Artist, the like of Tems, Rema, Arya Starr, Asake, Fireboy, Buju, Omah lay, Blaq Bonez, joeboy, Oxlade.
Nigeria 5th generation Artist, who are also warming up, the like of Odumodublvck, Beekay, Bloody Civilian, GreatMan Takit, Pawzz, Boy Spyce, Somadina, Berri Tiga, Khaid, T Dollar, Majeed, Manny Wellz, Berri Tiga, Bowale, Tari1q, Wasoikin, Major AJ, Novemba, Qing Madi, Trod, Tim Lyre, Bryann, S-pee, Lade, Bayanni etc.
The list is endless 😂😂😂
Now tell me, is there any Africa country that can be able compete with Nigeria when it comes to music or entertainment? 😂😂😂
I don’t know you but I applaud your wisdom and facts🙌 Cameroonian artists like tzy panchak, stanley enow, Awu, Koc, mr leo didn’t beg for support, the support was given to them so they won’t force people to listen to shit in the name of music.
@Fung Randy stop concurring to nonsense! The point is not to compare cameroon artists to nigerian artists. The idea is to build a better foundation on which cameroon artists can flourish like their nigerian brothers and sisters. It was done in Nigeria,
and they are enjoying the benefit today.
Secondly, which of those Cameroonian artists you listed can compare to even any of the so-called 4th generation nigerian Artists? 😀. Stanley started his music journey same time with the likes of olamide, phyno, and Burna. He even won the AFRIMA new artist award in a group made up of these nigerian superstars. But he can't compare with any of these guys today. Have you asked yourself why?
Thirdly, I don't think you understand what 80/20 is about. Individuals will not be stopped from streaming their favorite songs from around the globe.
Nobody is listening to those artists in Europe. Never heard of them
@@geraldpotkah1050Nigeria artists worked hard, they didn't force anybody, y'all should stop capping and work hard
@@antoniousai1989you lied, you never heard of burna boy wizkid and other popular ones ? 😂😂
nice topic... please keep the discussions going and talk solutions... local content is the way
Thank you for introducing me to Cameroonian music. I can't wait to dive in, to older and the new music.
I thank you for doing this interview because it exposed me to a music I wasn't familiar with.
I'd just like to add that all of the women are so beautiful, their faces,the beautiful hairstyles, and the stylish clothes.
I am very attracted to both the slimmer and larger women, all very beautiful and the accents.
I thank you for your journalism, keep up the good work ❤
Im from Cameroon. I don‘t know anyone and never heard your music. I Like nigerian music a lot. It‘s global commercial and modern! Good work. The Language the unity is missing in Cameroon.
Is not a lack of talent but a lack of promotion and push… many of these artists should endeavour to go to Nigeria to promote their work if they could. At the end of the day Anglophone side of Cameroon is an extension of Nigeria, everyone in this video looks and to a large extent talks like Nigerians which makes us family. I'm a Nigerian and i have quite a few Cameroon artists they i have follow and listen to their music, including Salatiel and Libianca. And watching this video I just discovered ASABA, I checked her page and listened to her music and I will be following her going forward.
There was no internet in the 70s and 80s, hence people were limited to what they heard.
This is what happens when produce trash and expect people to appreciate, lol Asake sings in Yoruba but everyday he fills venues all over Europe. What has stopped cameroonian musician from selling out of Cameroon. In order to eat in the table of men you must put in the work. As a Cameroonian it's important Cameroonian entertainers under the amount of work they need to put in place for their art to be appreciated locally
Wow…Cameroonians sounds so much like us(Nigerians) like it’s so amazing, listening to other African countries even west African countries is not the same there’s always an accent but Cameroonian sound like exactly like us
Cameroon is country with two foreign languages; french and English... The people speaking are probably those from English region that decided to leave Nigeria and join Cameroon in the early 90s... they are very close to Cross river and akwa ibom State probably speak similar language with locals in Nigeria.
She don't want to mention the name of the salon because they don't pay her for an advert but she want the DJ to play her music for free? Continue to dey play
Make she dey play😂
Start 80/20 as soon as possible, local radios and television shows. South Africa 🇿🇦 is one of the countries implemented that and now I prefer more African music than foreign music.
I love Asaba so much. What an intelligent woman❤❤
Me too I don’t support the 80/20.If they sing good music and produce good films,it will normally outshine that of the the foreigners
Thanks for your opinion!
Not true!
This is just myth
Rubbish that’s like saying if you are born in abject poverty & if you work very hard you will outshine the privileged foreigners there’s a slight chance but reality is a lot dimmer probability is slim to none the odds are stacked against you western countries understand the concept of regulation & keeping income in their respective countries the economics of buying power starts with psychology
interesting topic from south Africa
Gomez did a remix song with the wonderfully talented Hugo Nyame, on one of his songs, its been 2 years and this song hasn't gained even 200k views on CZcams, when I heard this song I thought it was the future of cameroon music but how wrong was I, CY is very right in pushing for local contents to be promoted more by all.
Go and tell CZcams to do 80/20 for the song
The quality of a product determines its wide marketability - 237 artist should upgrade their their content! And then, its difficult to compare Nigeria and Cameroon in all spectrums of life! 260milion /27milion? Arba!! As for nusic, me got a good ear for good stuff- listen to all genres from all continents, but my people - Sweet Old Mikossa na my first, second and third course!! Sergeo Polo, Richard Bona, Herve Nguebo, Mamma Nguea, Toto Guillaume, Ben and Grace Decca, MAXI MANOR; Lady ponc! Vive la culture Camer
The way you guys increase Nigeria's population is mad.. we are barely 220 million
Clarise & Pen Boy said it all 👏
Yes, period. Local means cultural and economic relevancy. It means local artists, local jobs, and local languages survive.
The reason cameroun and other African countries were able to dominate music in Africa was Nigeria was sleeping on entertainment’s. Nigeria as taken its position ,otilo
Nigeria is not significant in anyway.
If not for your population you would be a wasteland
That’s a tricky question. If government gets involved it has to be regulated as well. Maybe the percentage has to change since public preference will unfortunately be towards/for another sound. So a balance is needed. And Community leaders/influencers have to do their part as as the artist provide quality and diverse product.
Cameroon have beautiful contents very great 👍 one at that just that we don't like progress. All countries have done this why is it that only Cameroonian are making noise. We just lack True Love for ours.
Because wuna house no fine you go pack go stay for neighbor yi house?
You have no option than to love your home and build it to be as beautiful as that of your neighbor.
CY 80-20 is the way forward no Hate ❤🥰
I am from Kenya and we have been consuming foreign music forever. Congolese and Cameroon to be precise. Nigeria’s Afrobeat became popular the other day. Rhumba, Soukous, Makossa, are genres well loved to this day. We do not have 80-20 in Kenya and it can’t work. Our artists make money via live shows and promotions and they make good money. That makes Kenya a great target for music artists globally. They love performing in Kenya.
Black man is the enemy of the black man all this noise just because nigerians are doing well in the music industry. Why are you guys not complaining about the asians dominating the tech industry (phones,computers and other gadgets) you guy should shout 80/20 on those industries too, why not 80/20 in automobile, IT and others spheres. You are only doing this because Nigeria is successful so its easy to fight your brother in the only field he has made success.
I love Manu Dibango music
80-20 is purely a local issue confined to Anglophone 🇨🇲.....however it's sad and frustrating to see "industry stakeholders like Sir AGE, Wax Day etc go up against CY. Most Anglophone 🇨🇲 believe in 80-20, but many differ with implementation... Agbro Gilbert and Co believe Govt should step in and regulate cable companies and compel or impose a 80/20 Quota on Television/Radio stations etc, while CY believes Cameroonians 🇨🇲 should be bullied, harassed and forced into supporting 🇨🇲entertainment...the sad irony is CY is even at lock ahead with the same content creators his fighting for, even his supporters disagree with his methods 🥲🥲
Ghana will also be an interesting location to do another debate on this same topic. I've lived there and seen how protective they are and their rivalry with Nigeria
Good,u cannot shine brighter by deeming another person’s light.Good
English Speaking Cameroonians have PURE Nigerian accent, i never knew they talked like this
We are neighbours and we speak the same language so it’s normal that there’s a little similarities in terms of accent. Same thing with France and Belgium
Honestly, if not told you'd think they were Nigerians, from their accents and demeanour.
@@benotene4387 really ?! That’s true we have a similar accent but I’m able to make the difference between the both accents
That female artiste has a skewed mentality. Protect your yourself but don't force it on others. Why does the salon have to play your music because you are there? If they do so, it's only out of courtesy and to encourage you. Your main goal is to protect yourselves from Western content. Nigerians didn't protect themselves from Congo music "invasion" in Nigeria in the 1990s. They embraced it and learn from it to come up with something bigger. You should go build on Manu Dibango's legacy.
All of this bcus of Nigerian music o 🤣🤣🤣
Do your homework well and you'd not need to have this debate in the first place... Check out the Nigerian experience.🤷🤷🤷
This people should be fighting there french Counterparts in that Cameroon but noooo they are Fighting Nigeria😆😆😆😆😆🙏🏻🤣🤣🤣 This ones that have identity crises within themselves
If your radio or tv or club plays 80% thrash music and 20% good music.
100% of your viewers or listeners will leave. And your business will die. People will run to Spotify, CZcams, Apple Music etc. For the good international music.
You can’t force thrash down people’s throats or ears just improve your craft and market it well.
WOW... your gonna make me subscribe..🤣😂. At this time I have to side with 80/20. I believe it's vital to restrict/minimize foreign music in order to "protect" culture and identity. If they never heard foreign music would they miss it? NO When they hear something new,,,it can become popular because it's strangely moving but if you don't "control" content then the local music gets drowned out (not because the foreign music is better) it's just different. But it can "lead" to the destruction of local or national music. Now I didn't hear American music brought up; but I will say that it's very damaging (RAP) because the Black (American) music that gets exported is not reflective of the established Black tastes. What they export is promoted by those who actually hate us. Rap has been popularized and it is the lowest quality of word choice and Black expression we traditionally have toward one another. I leave you with these two words. to be aware of: Assimilation and indoctrination.(at least when it comes from America)
Why should they block us from listening to what is good?? U are blocking it bcs u know it’s nicer than what u produce
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
@Bola Chelsi I don't think they are talking about blocking individuals from streaming their favorite music!
Exactly it’s all about economics & psychology intertwined together destruction of local music equals destruction of the music industry/loss of revenues instead substituted by foreign so called role models celebrities rappers owned by white capitalists who are the main beneficiaries whilst at the same time poison our communities with rhetoric influence that is inherently destructive not progressive no connection to the local/culture & no vested interest whatsoever in the development of that economy
Clarisse couldn’t have put this ANY BETTER !!!
🧡🙌
We will visit this next year homely by God's grace and see how this your wrong move works out.
Success don't come over night. Put in the work. It's simple these days, many good models have worked out. Copy the positives and try to adapt.
Conscious and hardwork.
This is a powerful topic. There's a lot of deep thoughts here , especially from CY international. It's shameful that a promoter will prefer to promote foreign content for free but unwilling to do do for the patriot.
It’s not foreign content it’s a beautiful work of arts. Arts is a global culture which is loved by everyone. When a song is good no excess promotion is needed don’t sing trash and force people to love it.
@@fungrandy1710 you have missed the point of my comment.
@@spiceofglory4160stop wailing
Many ignorant people like the girl @12:39, anywhere in the world you pay to get your song play (that's part of promotion), it is when the song is popular and people love that you don't pay anymore because now people will demand for it. Also I as dj, my job is not to promote a song, my job is to play when my audience wants to ear. Promote your song to get played on the radio, when the song grows on my audience (as a dj), I will have no choice but to play it.
Yes I believe they should
To start with the three beautiful girls Like ASABA is igbo girl, the other fair beautiful is Igbo girl, including the one on 👠 shoes looks more like Igbo Nigerian... about music 🎵 you can only take horse 🐎 to the river, but you can't force him to drink, till tomorrow Ghananian music of the 80's and 90's and Congo music 🎶🎵 is still raining in Igboland in South east Nigeria, over 50 million Igbo's are still listening 🎧 to these music of 70's 80's .so it's more spiritual than physical...no matter what nobody can control that spirit.. in fact many of my Cameroonian girls love Nigeria movies, music and the way we make love❤ too ..😁😁😁
damn Asaba your musiq is damn good... that place where they did not play your musiq is really doing itself a disservice ... can't keep a lamp under a bushel wetiin go shine go shine
People should listen to what they want to listen to its not the government business its like saying government should decide what you eat or wear.Trying to find excuse for weak artist.
All they need to do is find a way to make good music,. Nobody can ignore to play something that is really good.
Clarisse Ndinge is one of the intelligent ones.
Wow! I just finished watching!
Quite great!
Clarise was actually confused as she ended up talking FOR the 80:20.
That actually shows how many persons don't understand what 80:20 is.
Just like they all said, we all want same thing but our approaches are different. However, the way forward is 80:20! So, CY yi place dey! ✌🏾
Clarisse was not confused dear, you just did not understand the point Clarisse was making, and that is completely fine😊
The one issue I have with this whole agitation is that I never heard any Camerounian complain when American, Jamaican, or UK music dominated the air. If you listen carefully, they're only having issues with mainly Nigerian music. Only God can help us in Africa. If you want your music to be played, then make good music! LaBianca is doing great because she makes good music. Di Bango also dominated in the 70s. This is not a rocket science.
only Nigerians say this stupid thing and it's a blatant lie
After listening to this mind exchange ,I went and research what that guy said about Nigeria banning music and dramas from outside---it never happen though.
When it comes to entertainment and content creation, Cameronians are 30 years behind 😅.
How can a 30 million population compete with 300 million Nigeria, Nigeria with load of talents and huge market. Wake up and smell the coffee
Who is forcing who? The thing is just to show more interest in your own.
80-20 policy is good just that it should accompanied by quality content and product.
this shows , You dont know anything about entertainment
@@jennifergraham9609 tell me more na.
Look Nigerian music is more than just singing almost every artist is a brand.There is structure there are record labels and there are private organisations sponsoring brands.Nigerians pay in foreign countries clubs to play their songs it's a long time coming
The world is globalised you can't succeed as an artist if people are forced to listen to your songs. Most of the artist advocating for regulating songs know that they have failed internationally. The Irony is that their objective is to take cameroon music to international stage but they want to prevent it for other artist. How do I know? Their examples Libianca, Manudibango, they all considered because they succeeded on international stage. If the artist can't succeed internationally and is looking for restricting others to succeed, that makes the Artist a bigger looser. Foe that lady I don't think the hair salon will miss her..
Wow.
These guys speak like Nigerians.
There's never an 80/20 regulation in Nigeria. Stop capping!!!!
Ndinge doesn't even know that everywhere in rhe developed world have regulations- regulations go with promotions.
The whole Cameroonian 80/20 is just tailored towards Nigeria.....thats all.
Ghanaian 70/30 is tailored towards Nigeria.
South Africa used xenophobia as a means to chase Nigerian businesses and arts.
Uganda arrested Nigerian artists just to be ban Nigerian music.
Kenya seems to be our only friends in Africa
Conclusion, Cameroon have no problem with Congolese dominating their airwaves but Nigeria. CY is just hateful towards Nigerian and have used words like "greedy" people. The guy us just using Nigeria for clout.
Thanks for your opinion!
Restriction has to be taken. 80-20 or nonothing!
Or zero zero 😂😂😂😂😂, mumu man
Come and tell me how to use the internet in my room. NONSENSE!!!!
Interesting debate...Had one in Kenya too
For decades American hip-hop dominated the continent of Africa and we never had issues with it. We even talk like them, dress like them and sing like them. As a matter of fact it was cool to act like them.
Why is the domination of Nigerian songs causing problem in Africa??
The most disappointing factor for me is that people in the music industry in these Africa countries don't even know what to do to get their music to where they want it to and they are not patient about it.
Everyone just want to be where Nigerians are today not knowing it takes a lot of time, work and procedure.
You think 80/20 will help?? Then go ahead and lets see where it gets you to. You guys have a lot to learn and sometimes it involves you leaving your country and go to where it's happening and study. Nigerians are travelers and goal getters.
You guys needs to give your artists especially the young ones the space to experiment, let them sing or sound anyway they want to, all you need to do is to continue reminding them of their roots.
Well said 👏. However, nigerian music always comes up because it is a reference point, not only in Africa, but globally. Nigerian music industry fought in the past to get where it is today. Back then, there was no social media so it was not shown to the world. Cameroon is fighting today and it's all over social media.... I think the 80/20 thing needs to be well defined so people don't see it as if it's anti- nigerian music.
@Gerald Potkah nobody listen to music on radio and television these days even in nigeria. 80-20 only work on radio and TV. But in today's world Everything is now internet. Will you control people wat to listen on their phone and youtube or Spotify?
@@akposatigbi6531 please read my comments and replies below this video to get your answer!
The comment I was looking out for... When American music was prevalent in Africa we never saw or heard all these noises... Now that it is an African country on the rise, other African countries feel threatened... It shows the mentality of Africans
One thing that will make you be very surprised Africans Americans who decedent from multiple African regions however our largest region of decent is Nigeria isn’t it ironic. Maybe Nigerians just make good music even Jamaicans are very Nigerian people say they mostly descended from Ghana however culturally they have a lot of Nigerian similarities especially pigeon English and patios
These Cameroonians need to worry about their anicient of days dictator.
bunch of jokers..
u might as well stop importing cars into cameroon
If there are cameroon made cars why not? Use your head please 🙏 🙂
😅😅😅😅😅😅
80/20 Cameroonian cars😂 black man envy another black man success
See wisdom
Reading through the comments, it made me as an outsider to see how matured Nigerians are, they are not even angry,they were trying to give them ideas,instead of being grudge and hateful like Cameroonian and ghanians.
CY international dan go international finally
I'm a Nigerian here but all this Cameroonians sound exactly like Nigerians oo😮😮.. No difference in accent and strong will.. Hmmmm
I heard ASABA ooo
They seceded from Nigeria in the 50s.
They used to be Nigerians.
I support 80 20
🇳🇬🇳🇬
PenBoy you get sense 😅.
My same thought.
how many people do you have in Cameron and if every country replicate the same thing how will you be head , allso you can not stop social media.
Jealousy and envy will be the downfall of the black race. Nigerians were bumping Makossa as if it were our own back in the day, we NEVER complained but sat down and did our homework, worked our socks off and now the rewards are paying off, nobody begged government to regulate foreign music, lol! There's no substitute for working hard and competing! To be fair, most of Africa has embraced Nigerian music but I find most of the envy comes from Ghana and Cameroon, please sit down and work hard and then you too can achieve.
The guy with white beads no get sense. Promote your music in a populous country, do a show and collaborate with people there. Imagine if America and other european countries, Naija, Ghana etc say they want to do the same. Awilo was big in Nigeria in late 90s to early 2000, Chaka Chaka was very popular in Nigeria in 80s or early 90s. Recipe is to have good music and also promote it.
As a Nigerian Listening to this, I am just laughing, Train your artist well, and let your music evolve. Probably Make Makossa a bit trendy.
CANEROONIANESS ❤
Them go explain explain tire because no evidence
It’s bcs their foreign music is good.Why did lilbianca produce one music nd that music went viral and people loved it.All I have to say is that u cannot force people to listen to what they do not want to listen.if u sing what we like,we will listen to it
Libianca's song is afrobeats, and it was pushed by Nigerians and Ghanaians. They thought Libianca was one of them!
Periodt
@@geraldpotkah1050 stop crying and grow up, typing d*mb lies won’t get you anywhere bro. Libianca song emanated from the US because she picked a very sensitive subject in a contemporary American society; Depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Stop telling lies Nigerians or whoever made her successful and just appreciate the lady
You guys d misunderstand CY
He’s got point
Some people are just so entitled, so they should play your song because you’ went there, like you’re the one paying there rent , it’s really laughable 😂
CY is a liar, Nigeria did not ban any music. How do you equate banning of waste to music? And people talking about Identity, don't they know music evolves? Do you see these Naija young artist playing Juju, fuji, Obitun or Biripo among others? Or thye think Naija has different genres. CY and his supporters are shallow.
If a Nigerian is sleeping, don't wake him or her up, once you do that the game is over, just imbibe that spirit and you guys will move
If your food at home is not palatable, your household will go to the neighbours to eat something better
Vicky Fokala no get sense. She thinks Nigeria artist don't work hard compare to Cameroon artist. Does she know how many talented musician in Nigeria that don't get to blow. When it comes to Music, the likes of Wizkid, Burna etc are not as good as Waje or Timi Dakola but not as popular as those guys. Does she know when Asake has been hustling before God finally answered his prayers. Vicky Fokala is very ignorant.
This is really stupid,creativity is talent, it can be learned and born with,this is ridiculous. You will be disappointed eventually,cos this is the wrong way to do it.
Hhhhh, you can't force people to listen to the music they don't want to listen to,if you want people to choose your music, bring out something great,do not limit me,is my right to watch and listen to what I want.
The moderator is biased no body is imposing on people what to watch except she's telling me in a country of over 28MILLION people with a great diversity in music and cinema u can't find any good artists or movie's
CY what are u saying, what do you mean by “Cameroonians have lost their taste” are u in the listening faculties of every Cameroonian? What do you base your argument on
Na idiot hin be
Who is cy?
While Ghanians and Cameroonian are bashing Nigerians for nothing,Ghanian actors are flooding Nigeria now,trying to get connection for the in comming Nollywood joint venture with hollywood and Netflix, I wonder what the Cameroonian will do when they hear that one,they will maybe ban Nigerian movies and videos completely, I mean either way Cameroonians will loose from this cos imagine if Nigeria does same to them.
Total nonsense. Davido spent $15,000 for his album promotion, how many Cameronian can spend that kind of money for promotion?
The "80/20 policy" might be good for the entertainment industry if well implemented.
(1) to be part of the 80%, your content will have to be topnotch. This will incentivize artists put out great body of work. Those that don't make the cut will work harder to get their content as part ofthe 80 %.
(2) 80/20 does not affect an individual consumer because internet (can be), but will not be regulated. You can stream all the foreign content you want in your own space, but in a nightclub, for example, be ready to dance 80% if cameroonian music. The airwaves should be playing 80% of cameroonian content!
(3) please stop using libianca's people as an example of cameroon content. She us cameroonian, but that music is afrobeats which has been popularized by nigerian artists and Ghanaian artists to a lesser extent. That is why when that music Nigerians and Ghanaians claimed her, not knowing she's from cameroon.
(4) cameroon has so many great sounds that can compete globally. However, if cameroonians don't value these sounds, foreigners will not be interested in discovering the sounds.
Nigerians even borrow our sound and make it go global... Olamide's poverty die sounds exactly like the bakwery Tata kinge's sounds.
Don’t ever say that rubbish Nigerians didn’t copy Cameroonians.Just focus on your craft and stop being obsessed with Nigerians. Olamide is one artist,so don’t generalise.Nigerians don’t copy you guys, we are literally the face of African music and afrobeats.
@Angela Emeka 😂😂😂😂😂 calm down! I see you are pissed because I used the word borrow. The right word is sampling...
I was not taking a dig at Olamide and will never get into a childish fight with Nigerians on this matter. With that example ( including others, which i did not state) , I was simply trying to point out that cameroon has sounds that can be exported.
@Gerald Potkah then export it ok
@Gerald Potkah am a Ghanaian but i love all African music
@@akasidina1708 your point is?
There is no measure for 80:20 but ban. Get sense for once!
Cy is jealous, go and work hard, you can't force people to play music they don't want to play
