      @@xannytv8262 You're just chatting wass. Firstly, this is not dancehall, this Alté and it is an admixture of mainly Nigerian, British and American styles of music. The scene is huge here in Nigeria and the Nigerian-British diaspora. Artists like Odunsi, Tay Iwar, Santi, Lady Donli, Hamza, Preyé and Prettyboydo are Alté artists and get views and radio airplay in and outside of Nigeria.

      Locked in place. At least they can't steal that away from us... They can deny us decent infrastructure and steal our hopes and dreams of a better Naija, but our artistic creation forged out of a combination of talent, grit, strong desire for greatness, frustration, internal turmoil has made it even all the more unique and compelling. Uniquely Nigerian, uniquely ours. Own it and be proud!
