Why Davido, Wizkid, Others Can't Win Grammies - Ayuba ( What do you think?)



Bonsue Fuji exponent, Adewale Ayuba believes popular Nigerian hip-hop musicians, Davido, Wizkid and others would not be able to enter and win the Grammies anytime soon if they don't re-invent their music.

The legendary musician, who has about 23 albums to his credit, said Nigerian hip-hop artistes must learn how to re-invent themselves in the uniqueness of indigenous African music genres, such as Afrobeat, Highlife, Fuji and Juju, if they want to remain relevant in the music industry.

"As far as I am concerned, Davido and the likes sing Fuji. The truth is the music they play is sweeter than American hip hop and rhythm 'n' blues. So why call it hip hop? That is why they cannot enter for the Grammies as that tag 'hip hop' is limiting.

Religion and Conflict in Nigeria: Learning to Play Well With Others





On a brilliantly sunny Monday morning at the start of the rainy season, a couple of dozen young men gathered for a game of soccer in Jos, capital of the state that encompasses the temperate volcanic plateau in central Nigeria. At first glance the event seemed unremarkable -- laughter, friendly taunts and a fairly casual level of competition were the order of the day.

But the armed guard who kept vigil by the gate at the Hillcrest School was the first indication that more serious matters were at stake. Jos is an uneasy place -- nearly 4,000 people have died in violent conflict over the past decade -- and the young Christians and Muslims on the field had converged from parts of an increasingly segregated city where goodwill between Christians and Muslims is often hard to find.
