Whether you guys play NIGERIA music or not in Ghana it won't stop us from rising. Your country is just like a state in Nigeria
This is soooo true
And this is the truth
Nigerians are business minded people in terms of production.. Commitment is the solution..kudos from Gambia 🇬🇲 west Africa
❤❤❤❤
Thanks my Gambia brother, we have no time to meddle in small talks, we all about hitting the goal
There's no comparison between the Nigeria music and that of Ghana, that even the world knows it.
I can't stop laughing each time I hear the saying that Ghana produced the Afrobeat sound.😂😂😂
tell us who produced then....
@@bennyfrimpong1819your lies in ghana are horribles, show me one Afro beat artist in that village called ghana
@@bennyfrimpong1819tell us how many Ghanaians afroabeat record is out there
@@bennyfrimpong1819you Ghanaians are very very local and so awkward, I spit on the floor each time I read comments from Ghanaians, I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦
@@bennyfrimpong1819you people don’t even own high life you claim, it belongs to Liberia
Please Ghana 🇬🇭,stick to your 80 /20 policy and leave us Nigerians in peace.
I tell you, we are okay with it.
@@casmirifeanyi7788 yes ooo!
@@casmirifeanyi7788
Then why ain't you leaving Nigeria alone?
Afrobeat is purely Nigerian sound with major elements of the music or genre coming from the Yoruba traditional sounds, especially the Agidigbo. Even the Highlife,it is originally formed in Sierra leone and Liberia but was loudest in Ghana. Highlife spread to Ghana and Nigeria the same time from Sierra leone. And please stop comparing arts. Your arts are reflections of your societies and dynamics.
Afrobeat is a mixture of sounds. Both from America, Dance Hall, Nigerian different traditional sounds, some fraction of Ghanaian too. Even though we don't always want to acknowledge them bcos of their jealous and bitter mindset.
@@valentineanthony5615 The others that you included are not crying like a baby.
You are the first to say Highlife originated from sierra leone lol. Where was your Afrobeat in 2005?
@bennyfrimpong1819 In 2003,P square released their popular song,' Senorita'.and later gain much wider recognition after the release of their sophomore album “Get Squared” in 2005. The success of the album earned them a nomination at the MTV EMA Best African Act in 2006. Perhaps you have to thank me that I gave you bits of history of Highlife. It is obvious people like you don't read, but your information on gossips,assumptions and fantasy, not fact. It's in books,not hidden.
@bennyfrimpong1819 Why is Ghanaians always bitter. You always talk about what Nigerians can do for you, but you have never considered doing anything in return. The biggest musical stages Ghanaians have climbed were aided by a Nigerians.
Why all the national tv in Ghana is all about Nigeria? what is really going on with Ghanaians?
You shouldn’t be surprised.
Ghana was taken unaware by Nigeria global acceptance and success in both entertainment, music and every other endeavors. Some years back, Ghana was the mouthpiece of telling the world how Nigerians are scammers, corrupt and sort of bad image., and survive by these narratives.
So pray for Ghana , it’s a serious sickness called Otapiapia.
We are just feed up with the competition
They are so obsessed 😂😅
What are y'all doing in our comment sections

When you stop gossiping about Nigeria, they wont be here.
You slept through the year 2023 when your music hasn't crossed Ghana borders but burna boy who has won Grammy award or OBO who is nominated for same award are working tirelessly to make impact in the world together you will be crying for lack of support from Nigeria keep sleeping
😀
They created “Afrobeat”😂 Samini too said Amapiano is Azonto version, na wa for this people.
Banku republic
You know this could be or should be a good name for these people!!
Maybe it would make them more original, especially in their music!
Because the name Ghana was borrowed from the ancient Ghana empire ( which was only located in the present day Mauritania and Mali)
Also their tricolour flag was borrowed/copied from Ethiopia!!
So Banku republic is a worthy name for them!
Thanks Mr Maloney.
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
It’s too early to discuss about Nigeria! abeg leave us alone Ghana! Dey your dey make we dey our dey happy new year
Asin enh 1st day of the year 😅😂
Every day Ghana makes good music.
Ghana INVENTED everything music.
Ghana can win Grammy awards more than Americans.
Ghana is the 1st country to get independence forgetting that Ethiopia and Liberia are there.
Ghana does reggae more than Jamaican's.
Ghana abeg rest. This conversation is getting BORING, BORING, BORING.
Make your music blow and become hits more than NIGERIA MUSIC AND THE WORLD WILL TAKE YOU SERIOUS.
OF COURSE THEY WILL INCLUDE NIGERIA NAME TO GET TRAFFIC AND VALIDATION.
GHANA will always attach to the great NIGERIAN NAME.
NAIJA NO DEY CARRY LAST.
9JA TO THE WORLD.

Nigeria created Afrobeats and Afrobeat. Stop playing Ghana. You have just your highlife and am sure many African countries have high life as well so stop playing
Competition Ghanaian 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
From a Nigerian, Worlasi is the most talented Ghanaian artist.
Got the hook from C-real.
Its always funny how non-nigerians talk about Nigeria 🤔. We are getting tired and bored of all these.
You can't have any Nigeria - Ghana conversation without hearing "we started it first" from the Ghanaians 😂😂😂😂 yet play second fiddle to Nigeria in facts and history

I don't even get.like since when did Ghana suddenly start putting itself on same pedestal as Nigeria? I understand all the bullshit political corruption going on in Nigeria, but come on,, like seriously, Ghana should know its place. Ghana is like a state or two put together in Nigeria. You want to compare music! Like seriously? Seriously!
Can you make Afrobeats music without sounding like a Nigerian?🤔The signature is in the sound and language used when making an Afrobeat music, it shows you Nigerians own it! Common sense is nonsense to many Ghanaians!
There was a time that Ghana music was bigger than Nigerian music in Nigeria, "like for two hours"??
Nigeria has been self sufficient musically for decades!!!
Our culture is more digestible and that extends to music!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
Direct them to listen to Sonny Okosun, Esien-,Igbokwe, in the 70s, Felix lebarty, Chris Okotie, Jide Obi, onyeka onwenu in the early 80s and majek fashek, Orits wiliki, mandators in the later 80s. They think music started in year 2000

Gjanaians talent how u mugu
How can you be a creator of what you don't have'' SOUND is everything Ghanians claim to be the creator of Afrobeats but must now then sound like a Nigerian to have a hit song wanders sha never end..
Nigerians don’t talk about Ghana the way Ghana is obsessed with Nigeria.
There was never a time Ghanaian music was being played in Nigeria than Nigerian music, pls stop playing.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why are these people lying that there was a time Ghanaian music was dominating in Nigeria. When was this? Even if your music breaks through reigns for a couple of months, doesn’t mean you dominate. If that’s the case Congo and Cameroon dominated Nigeria’s music space. Also because a Nigerian artist uses a Ghana phrase, don’t use that to generalize. Ghana artists also use NIgerian slangs in their music. So what are you talking about?
Nigeria have afrobeat ghana have aftobeef
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Hahahaha! AfroBeef really! Well said!👍
Which Afrobeats did you guys create. Are you guy serious. Which of Ghana artist in the 70's and 80's or 90's is as great as Fela Kutti, Sunny Ade both Grammy norminees,. Christy Esene Igbokwe who played at Soul Olympic, Oyeka Owelu, Victotor Owifo who received the queen of England Award, Sunny Okosu.
If you guys continue on this lane you will continue to lament. We are not in same class with Ghana in anything
Hear you ! Ghana started AFROBEAT. Tell us how Ghana sarted AFROBEAT ?
If the population is that big in favor of Nigeria,, why then compare Nigeria to Ghana
Direct that question to Ghanaians
the guys are the cutest dudes in the whole of ghana.. ❤😂
Pls you people should name the Ghanaian thaT started the Afrobeats sound?? I’ll waiT!
They will tell you Eboh Taylor started Afrobeat and na the same Eboh Taylor that said Fela started Afrobeat and commercializes it 😂😂😂 I have the two interviews of Eboh Taylor

Beautiful Interview but like Worlasi said JoyNews got their clickbait Title "Nigerians make better music than Ghanaians - Mensa" SMH... Sad just sad
Ghanaians will always compare only God will keep on helping Nigerians Amen
With all due respect to you guys out there but it is out of foolishness for anyone to compare a country who's one of her states GDP is bigger than the said country GDP. Lagos is a state in Nigeria with population of 35 millions people who's GDP is far bigger than Ghana GDP population wise bigger too i think the full Ghana is 32 millions people so , if you are not mad with dull respect how on earth will you compare such country with Ghana. I will never join issues with anyone thinking Ghana is better than Nigeria this year i don't need negative vibes around me so i move
You must be lacking in knowledge about what you are ranting here if you think smaller population of a country makes it less economically viable than a country which has a relatively bigger population. For your information, out of the 250 million population in Nigeria, 133 million live in poverty, a number of poor people which is more than 4 times the total population of Ghana. Forget about even your so-called Lagos GDP being "higher" than the whole of Ghana's as your example, and let's talk about the horrible reality of the GDP of Nigeria as a country itself which stands at $2,513.00 against its 250 million population of 40.1% poverty rate, versus Ghana's which is $2101.00 GDP with a mere 33 million population and 24.2% poverty rate and you would realize that in real terms, Ghana is not your mate. Nigeria has a bigger landmass and population than Ghana, but is it better off economically in real comparative terms to the so-called smaller populated Ghana? No!! Ghana would always give the chaotic QUANTITY to Nigeria, but when it comes to organized QUALITY Ghana will always claim it hands down, no insults intended!! At the moment, mass movement from Nigeria to Ghana for retail space, education, security and better standard of living is on-going unabated, but the reverse is not the case, for a simple reason that Ghana is the better place to be between the two. Historically, Ghana stands taller in pan-Africanism, governance, security, social amenities etc.... even when it comes to Ghana's record in soccer relative to Nigeria, the latter does not come closer. Do not let Ghana's relative smaller geographic landmass and population fool you!!
@@Okoragyak
You know what, do all your ranting, the ENTIRE WORLD would still ridicule you for comparing yourself with nigérians.
Nigérians aren't even bothered about you. That should tell you something.
You're not disturbing us. You know it. That must be what's eating you up.
Guess you can't stomach it everytime non nigérians in the diaspora just go on and on extolling nigérians.
We pity you guys. That very essence that's Nigerian, will always put nigérians way ahead of you.
Ask Trevor Noah why he loves nigérians so much!
Elephants gat no time for ants. Keep rambling
@@Okoragyak I want to believe you put down this write up with an empty stomach if not, you won't have down play the power of population in the economy angle. There is demand and supply in economy so common sense should tell you there should be high demand in a country with the largest population and when the demands are high so the supply will be higher also. You talk about about more people living in proverty in Nigeria but the poorrest person in Nigeria live a better life than the rich person in Ghana. You said Nigerians are moving to Ghana yes not just Ghana but all over the world 🌎 Nigerians are know to be travelers please take Nigerians money away from Ghana little economy trust they won't stand for too long before falling apart ask your government please 🙏 check Ghana hospitality sectors take Nigerians out of that sector is gone because they are the one paying bills ask Ghana landlords Who are investing in qualities building 🏫 they do that because they have Nigerians who can pay the bills because they know most Ghanaian like you live low life. Please is only in your dream that Ghana will be bigger in anything than Nigeria.
@@Okoragyak Ghana and Quality in the same sentence? 😂😂😂😂😂.. You wrote total rubbish.
@@danielwitse3381 Use facts and reasoning to explain your opinion: The last time I check the word "rubbish" has no place in the world of logic and civility.
The Afrobeat sound is more Ghanaian than Nigerian and only Nigerians will debate that.
Gjanaians only daydream what others are doing
Ghanaians are definition of entitlement
How?
The problem I see with Ghanaian twi-speaking music is (I'm particular here because most of the people that make music in Ghana are twi-speaking people) that style has not evolved for the past 40 years. Twi-speaking songs have been made the same way since Nkrumah's time. It has yet to evolve, and that's where the problem is. Twi-speaking songs focus too much on storytelling, and that's the problem. For a song to be a hit, the hook must be introduced in the first 9 seconds. The audience's attention doesn't last past 9 seconds. If a song's hook takes too long to come out, you lose the audience. It's science, and this is what most Ghanaian artists need help understanding. They keep making the same style of music, and they wonder why it doesn't get anywhere. If you think I'm lying, think about how commercials are made. You only have 30 seconds to catch the audience's attention to sell your product. No one will buy your product if you can't present your good ideas in 30 seconds. To the host - your pundits have no clue ( one of them said it) because they don't study music. They go into the music business without actually taking the time to learn music and why people like certain sounds.
I love the guy in white, he is sincere and so lovable. Just want him to know that he is well loved in Nigeria 🇳🇬. The guy is open minded. God bless you bro!
Sincere how? When he lied gjanaians created Afro beat, are you ok?
You say what about Afrobeat! You started it bfr Nigeria 🇳🇬 Nawa oo
There has never been a time when Ghanaian music was played more frequently than Nigerian music. While there was a period when Ghanaian music enjoyed popularity and was played, it was never to the extent of surpassing Nigerian music. It's important to clarify these facts. It is like comparing it to the current popularity of Afrobeat in the US doesn't mean Afrobeat is played more than Hip Hop; that would be inaccurate. The reality is that Ghanaian music lacks widespread international appeal and is predominantly limited to Ghana.
So, Ghanaian artistes dont copy Nigerian slangs and words to add in their songs? These people just complain about everything.
Naija dey manufacture new slangs everyday.
Make una dey, dey!
Make we dey our dey!!
Ghana, do your do. Naija dey do her do, period.
People are forgetting population. Nigeria has the population to get the industry rolling .
What's Jamaica's population?
Is it number or quality. Do quality music and u will get there. Created Afrobeats? Funny. The identity of Afrobeats is Nigerian and u can't sing it without sounding Nigerian.
But you guys always say we should learn from you 🤔
@@DicksonTarkora Yes you should learn from us cos your music is not cutting across, i have been to some african countries within the east and west ,i can tell you for the fact that Ghana music is nowhere.
It is 2024 and Ghana is still thinking they are on same level with Nigeria in Entertainment?
Now, launch #Ghana_Stop_Talking_About_Nigeria
It's a fact. No discussion
Honestly, I'm just getting to know today that these guys are Ghanaian musicians. No offence, that's how so many Ghanaian artistes are unknown in Nigeria, but they blame us..
Dreamers think they created Afrobeat sound...was Fela Ghanaian?
Afrobeat is credited to Fela Anikulapo Kuti, a Nigerian, as the creator. But Mensah here claims it was created by Ghanaians. I grew up listening to highlife music and the dominance of the Ghanaians way back from the 50s and 60s; they were clearly the kings of highlife. If there’s any Ghanaian who did afrobeats before Fela, any evidence of that would rest any argument as to the creator of afrobeats between Ghana and Nigeria
You didn’t create Afrobeats
I cant stop laughing any time i hear ghana say they produce afrobeat😂😂 you’re not even ashamed to say such..ghana? Created afrobeat? 😂😂😂I don die
Go and listen to your legend Ebo Taylor and you will stop claiming what you don't know how it came about, Ghana does not have sound but perching on other countries sound trying to steal it. The other day Samini, a failed artist in Ghana trying to steal South African amapiano
Ghana tries to steal amapiano eii this people
@@DicksonTarkoratry to steal Afro beat and amapiano go ask samini failed artist
Don’t let this stress you. Overwhelming Majority of Ghanaians don’t have time for this. Go to the streets in 🇬🇭 and you will hear ppl play Nigerians songs. People don’t care. Video has 4.7k views for a reason
😂😂 Apart from Odo ye wu which other Ghana words has some Nigeria Artist uses....Rather Ghanian musicians are the ones try to sound Nigerian by using Naija langua and and street slang...
But it’s Odo yewu a Nigerian word..just listen to yourself and see what u just typed..a lot of your Nigerian artists use Ghanaian Twi words..
@@Yesumo1932 Who is this Banku republic bush animal...You don't know how to read a simple sentence.
It's always funny to hear that Nigerians using Ghanaian words and the only thin they come up with is ODOYEWU...
And while the word itself means MY LOVE in TWI or something like that, ODO YEWU is YORUBA for WHOOPING COUGH or TUBERCULOSIS hence the name of the Song By Kiss Danial, but then, each to their own understanding I guess
Since when? I know many Nigerian songs that were taken from Ghanaian songs
Nigerian artist do good music, no doubt but Ghanaian artist equally do good and quality music just that Nigerians are intentional about their arts..secondly Nigerians promote and patronize their own music..Ghanaians on the other hand don’t promote and patronize our Ghanaian artists..typical example, I was in New York for a program, the program had Majority Nigerians, as soon as the DJ started playing Ghanaian songs, one Nigerian guy woke up and went straight to the DJ and told him to play Nigerian music only because the program is a Nigerian program..this is how bold the the Nigerian guy was..Nigerians already have a bigger population than Ghana, so why must Ghanaians use our small population to be pushing Nigeria music? It just doesn’t make sense..Ghanaians equally make good music just that Ghanaians don’t know how to promote and patronize our Ghanaian artists which makes it hard for them..#I support 100% Ghana music airplay
Till you stop comparing the big Nigeria over 180 million people to the 32 million ,lagos size ghana ..there will be unhealthy comparison ..Nigeria has a lot of cultures
..every state is different and diverse ...why are you worrying Ghana ..compare yourselves with China and congo ..that's fair ...Speaking same official language doesnt make us alike .....we are 2 different nations and different dynamics ...leaves us alone ......meanwhile Nigerians come here and feel at home ..we dont feel same in Nigeria..........
Ghana cannot be like Nigeria in anything .....we have our challenges same with Nigeria.....the ratio aint the same ..its unfair comparison .
But our youth are seeing the need to rise up ....the old folks have disappointed us .....we are very rich with selfish leaders with colonised minds ....unlike Nigeria who made colonisation impossible.....love to Nigeria n Ghana .
You why I pity Ghana’s! Even in America most of the successful artists there are from Canada but u will never know’ they are under American umbrella to shine but Ghana’s want to compete with Nigeria Charlie that will be their downfall
One funny thing is a country of about 300m population always competing with Ghana with only 32m.
For a Ghanaian musician to get even 1m views is not easy but in Nigeria even people who are just curious to know about the song will be over 5m .
Sadly a lot of Naija musics used Ghana as their lunching pad.
Ghana are the ones talking about Nigeria all the times
Come on, don't be a narcissist. Don't twist it. Ghanaians are the ones doing the comparison. Not nigérians! Like seriously? Please rest
This one is lost 😂😂😂.
Ghana is always competing with Nigeria and attaching Nigeria to every conversation whereas it's not same from the Nigerians.
These days, they use the Nigerian pidgin just to show flex.

Your music aside a few exceptions is subpar, your attitude subpar, and promotion subpar. That's why your industry is struggling
Nigerian music is far above Ghanaian comparison...
Nigeria music is taking channelling to American not Ghanaian music.
Ghanaian artist equally make good music, enough of the comparison..Nigeria has huge population to push their music..Ghana is only 32million population..in music u need huge numbers to push your craft..joy news, we are in 2024, enough of the comparisons..In terms of quality music, Ghana also do good and quality music just that we don’t have the numbers to push our artists..but enough of the comparison..#I support 100% Ghana music
Other smaller nations have various Grammy awards with musicians well known outside unlike Ghana
@@fesderi3933 villager Grammy is not a yardstick for musicians..even alot of American musicians didn’t win Grammy..a village champion like u is so obsessed with Grammy..Bob Marley never won Grammy, Tupac never won Grammy, snoop Dog has never won Grammy, I can give u list of famous artists in the world with no Grammy..that Grammy has even turned political now..now it’s who u know..get out of your village lifestyle..

Its a lie musically Ghana is blessed and miles away in music than Nigeria but the Nigerians are too good when its comes to the business aspects of music promotions that is the strength of the Nigerians
If Ghana is that good why are you comparing it with Nigeria music why not other African countries
@@carolc3725 i commented on this video because of the thumbnail Ghana is too much blessed with music but they need to workhard on the business side of music Which is proper musical promotion Ghana is better than Nigeria thats why you created the thumbnail because your thumbnail speaks about Ghana's positivity

Must You disgrace the late kwame Nkrumah at all cost?😂😂 stop talking from your anus
U are part of the reasons why Ghana 🇬🇭 music can’t progress. Until u accept ur flaws hence u can’t progress
Talk it's cheap . Afrobeat belongs to u . From the 70s till now Nigeria has been given the world superstars. How many Ghana musicians can stand along side with Nigeria musicians . Nigeria started giving the world far back to 70s to the 80s..from Fela , to majek name them ..
So stop all this ur teacher stuffs.
Meanwhile, Nigeria population is not more than 210m on exaggeration. Stop the exaggeration to as an excuse. Ghana is about 35m the last time i checked.
Again, ghana did not create any aftobeat sound. You created a sound and no one in your country can do it or is really doing now without sounding Nigerian. yet, you claim to have created the sound. Is that not broad day fooling of oneself?
