Honestly, some OAPs, DJs and Music Promoters are not doing well.
Artistes will come to you for music promo, and deep down your mind you know the artiste's sound isn't making sense enough to be embraced,...
instead for you to help 'em get better by givin pointers they could go work on to refine their sounds to be of better appeal to listeners, that even you yourself can free willingly play or recommend to your listeners and circles. Na lie o, na to gboju and hype them with jonz...
and since those Ote artistes themselves are so naive and sure to credit aza without negotiations, Baba OAP, Oga DJ, and Ogbeni Music Promoter would choose to kiss their yansh for the rabba, thereby making mumu artistes to be feeling fly like one good artistes sitting on C4.
... Only if people could be honest to say the truth in the best possible calm way that would be of constructive criticism that even the receiver would be glad to take in such that it would change their life for the better.

Iro oo, Na all sort of flimsy excuses like "I no wan hurt pesin feeling oo", "I don't want someone to think say I hate them or don't want progress for them", are examples of excuses people lay on to say the truth.
Some would even say "Na money be koko abeg", so far ego drops...
... I understand some artistes can be problematic to be block heads that dont like to hear suggestions or welcome criticism as they believe they know too much.
But, what will it take us to always speak truth?
... If some people could just for once reason how impactful their truth could make a great change in someone's live,
Also, if some people could also think what goodness welcoming suggestions and criticism could do for them, shebi things for better
To say Nigerians don't appreciate true artistry is no more 100% truth, neither is that a lie as I understand the NUMBER COUNTS
Only if some artistes, and A&R could appreciate their own art and distinction that comes with it, then fashion up to it to carve a niche for themselves.
Amazing is it that some people traveled from Lagos and far beyond to Ibadan so to attend the Brymo's Sing Along Concert,which same happened for the Cavemen's Live Inside The Cave Concert at Bature Brewery, VI, Lagos with how many people traveled down to the island,...
...from mainland, Abeokuta, Ibadan, and far beyond so to have the live experience of their fav's music.
Fact is not everybody have to keep having big numbers like a Burna, Wiz, Davido & Olamide would, which that doesn't mean every other person can't also get their own numbers
