Such names as the renowned Fela, Tu Face Idibia, Don Jazzy, Davido, Olamide, Wizkid, Flavour, Dbanj, Psquare, Banky W, Tiwa Savage, Asa, M.I, Ice Prince, Wande coal, Naeto C et al are household names making waves in Africa and far beyond. The quality and style of music being dished out by upcoming and established acts can only be A-classed. This new development is a thing of great joy. Everyone is living up to the challenge to be counted as the competition has resulted in better quality of audio, video and lyrics in demand. Even better, the music sphere is graced with international COLLABOS... collaborations, adding another milestone to the success story being recorded. Well known international acts like Rick Ross and T.I got featured by Psquare; Dbanj also saw music legend Akon feeling it in his “Feeling the N*” and a host of other international collaborations with Nigerian musicians which points to the growing popularity of the industry not just in Africa but the world. Such banging hit songs as Olamide’s Eleda Mi; Davido’s Aye; Flavour’s Ada Ada; Kcee’s Limpopo; Patoranking’s Girlie O; Tiwa Savage’s Eminado; Psquare’s Collabo and a host of many EXPOSURE other banging hits showed the enormous growth the industry has recorded over the years. Interestingly, the increase in the & AWARDS... number of television channels showing Nigerian music is a great plus to the industry. Stations such asMTVAfrica , Channel O Africa, HipTV, Primetime Africa, SoundCity, TraceTv, AfroPop TV and many others play important roles in bringing many of the numerous talented artistes to the global stage. More so, the introduction of awards for best performing artistes and the rewards for hard work has propelled many to work even harder. Such ceremonies of distinction and recognition namely: Channel O Music Video Awards, Headies Awards, Afrimma Awards, MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) etc are milestone novelty gestures fertilizing the rapid development of the Nigerian Music Industry. Added to it, are the mouth- watery prizes for winners. It is no wonder then, that the artistes have sworn an oath of high performance to churn out high quality and top-notch audio, video and lyrics for their teeming fans. By this gesture, Nigerian artistes have indicated a high degree of seriousness in setting the pace for others in Africa to follow. 6 | TUSH MAGAZINE | #10 However, the success story is not starved of little hiccups; the profusion of the industry by fame-thirsty individuals has resulted in congestion and somewhat increased number of musicians singing for honors. We are not left out in the controversies, gossips and rancor as it adds spice and fun to BUTS... it all. Some of the celebrities fight it out with abusive words on social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. On twitter, these fights become more demeaning as tantrums fly here and there, which adds to the whole fun after all. The Nigerian Music Industry is a bubbling platform offering many of our idle, yet very talented youths an escape route to stardom. It is pertinent that those who have benefited from the industry should emulate the good gestures of their international colleagues by providing enabling platforms to grow others who are of little means but well talented. This way, they would have given back to society and affect positively the lives of others. Today’s reigning acts like Davido, Olamide, Flavour, Patoranking, Phyno, Seyi Shay, Praiz, KCee, Eva et al all have the stage for grabs. It is interesting then to note that, this industry must be supported to grow all the more as it plays a pivotal role in Nigeria’s economy. The industry employs a GROWTH... sizeable amount of our numerous idle youths who go on to become responsible members of the society. The issue of royalties, piracy and theft of intellectual properties (songs) must be considered with utmost seriousness as musicians should be given what is theirs and what they have worked for. The Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) must ensure that piracy is rooted out of the system and measures taken to punish people found wanting. The Nigerian Music Industry is a wind that will blow without stop. The future of the industry is filled with promises. Many NEXT... more will come. Let us all join hands to make it a success! 7 | TUSH MAGAZINE | #10 UnderG ...set to blow Dynamyt Popularly known as Dynamyt, Damilare Olabimtan was born on the 16th of October in 1989 to Mr. and Mrs. Olabimtan in Yaba, Lagos. Damilare attended Bright Star Nursery and Primary School and St. Gregory’s College, and later went to Yaba College of Technology. He started his early musical career in the church youth choir when he was six years old and went on to be the lead singer of the choir for over ten years. In 2007, he started a defunct gospel band, Divine O3, with a few of his childhood friends from the choir. They performed around churches in Nigeria for three years before the group disbanded. In 2010, he began to diversify into different genres of music like Pop, R&B, Hip-hop and Dance. He records mostly in Yoruba dialect his native tongue, as well as English. He got his stage name “DYNAMYT”, from friend and frequent musical collaborator, Tesan. In early 2014, he released his first solo effort, “Hostel”, which was met with critical acclaims and had a huge underground following. The song earned him “The Most Promising Artist” in 2012 and 2013 in his alumnus, Yaba College of Technology. Quite luckily for him, he gained the attention of new Island-based record label, Wildlife Records, and two months later, he signed a recording contract with them.

  • Foregrounding Female Agency in the Dance Culture of Nigeria
    WHAT I DO WHEN I DANCE: FOREGROUNDING FEMALE AGENCY IN THE DANCE CULTURE OF NIGERIA Oladoyin Abiona A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2021 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Jeremy Wallach Rahdika Gajjala © 2021 Oladoyin Abiona All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor Scholarship on female representations in hip hop has been predominantly premised on the sexualization of the female body. By focusing mainly on this singular aspect of the genre, we reduce the whole essence of womanhood in the industry to such interpretations. The limited scope of such discussions deprives the women of opportunities to tell their own stories of what they do when they dance. Seeing the cultural significance of dance as a form of popular culture in the Nigerian context, this essay, from a feminist perspective, closes this gap by engaging in a qualitative exploration of the lives of three female dancers in Nigeria telling their stories through dance. They are Kaffayat Oluwatoyin Shafau (Kaffy), Odumewu Debbie (Debbiepinkie), and Usiwo Orezinena Jane (Janemena). Exploring their social media archives, interviews granted to TV stations and a published autobiography “Alajoota” by Kaffy, this essay contextualizes and complicates the interpretations of sexualization in the Nigerian hip hop dance industry. Through dance Nigerian women performers are able to negotiate the heavily male-dominated hip hop scene. For them, dance is a coping strategy, a profession, a space for redefining self and embracing sexuality and femininity, and a form of youthful identity and inclusion.

  • 'Sexual Largess' Themes, Lyrics and Images in Nigerian Hip- Hop
    1 Sexuality and ‘Sexual Largess’ Themes, Lyrics and Images in Nigerian Hip- Hop Music Videos: A Content Analysis By Jemisenia John Oluwaseyi 08032070010 [email protected] & Ezenagu Nnedinma Roseline 08054805605 [email protected] Department of Sociology and Anthropology University of Nigeria Nsukka Abstract Sexual contents in the media have received great attention from scholars and researchers since the 1980s till present, regrettably very little has been done in this area of research in Nigeria, where increasing controversies have continued to trail the contents of videos that are shown on such terrestrial channels as Channel ‘O’, Hip-TV, Soundcity, Mtv base, and BET. Issues surrounding the rate of sexuality, sex, sexism, objectification, materialism, and the ‘good life’ (as it is shown on these music channels) have come under intense scrutiny by observers, commentators, scholars and the general public. Consequently, this study analyzed themes, lyrics and images bordering on sexuality and sexual largess in Nigerian Hip-Hop music videos on two popular stations on the terrestrial channels: Soundcity and Hip.Tv music channels between the periods of April to June, 2015. Through a multi-stage sampling technique, 132 videos were selected for analysis. Two independent coders were trained. The Cohen’s kappa (k) symmetric measure of agreement was employed in order to ensure the reliability of items. The Cohen’s kappa (k) for this study was 0.792. Altogether, result revealed that sexual themes, lyrics and images that are derogatory to womanhood are predominant in the analyzed music videos. The study recommends among others, enlightenment on the part of musicians/artistes on the need to promote messages of gender equality.

  • The Evolution of Feminism in Nigerian Media: a Look at Igbo Culture Films
    THE EVOLUTION OF FEMINISM IN NIGERIAN MEDIA: A LOOK AT IGBO CULTURE FILMS A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies University of Regina By Joy Adanna Emelogu Regina, Saskatchewan January 2019 Copyright 2019: J. A. Emelogu UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Joy Adanna Emelogu, candidate for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies, has presented a thesis titled, The Evolution of Feminism in Nigerian Media: A Look at IGBO Culture Films, in an oral examination held on December 19, 2018. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Claire Carter, Department of Women’s and Gender Studies Supervisor: Dr. Sheila Petty, Department of Film Committee Member: Dr. Christine Ramsay, Department of Film Committee Member: Dr. Darlene Juschka, Department of Women’s & Gender Studies Chair of Defense: Dr. Philip Charrier, Department of History Abstract This thesis addresses the subject of feminism in the Nigerian media, particularly on how issues related to women’s rights and gender discrimination have been addressed in Igbo culture Nigerian films. For several decades, the Nigerian home video industry, dominated by Igbo culture-themed films, has been one of the most influential media forms across Nigeria and Africa in general. These films are a staple in many homes; the images, narratives, and ideas that they disseminate go a long way in shaping or reinforcing public perceptions about the role of women and their status in society.

  • 179 Nigerian Pidgin: a Means of Human Development Charles Chukwuma Motanya Abstract
    Nigerian Pidgin: A Means of Human Development Charles Chukwuma Motanya http://dx.doi./org/10.4314/ujah.v18i2.10 Abstract Growth and development are the target of every human being. There are several avenues for achieving this said development and one of such means is through the development of a viable language that will aid in people’s effective communication for gains. This paper therefore explores the effective use of Nigerian Pidgin in the development of artistes in Nigeria’s entertainment industry. Data were generated from a library research. The study is based on systemic-functional grammar. The findings indicate that Nigerian Pidgin has offered many artistes the opportunity to showcase to the wider public their works. This in turn, improves their financial and social status. The research recommends that Nigerian Pidgin should be adopted and included among one of Nigeria’s official language. Introduction One of the most important differences between man and animal is man’s ability to speak and make others understand him. Language is the only means through which this is achieved in man’s life. Language is the medium or vehicle for conveying ideas, a system of arbitrary vocal symbol based on social cooperation; the totality of meaningful utterance in a given society (Yule 15). Language is a system of conventional or written symbols by means of which humans as members of a social group and participants in its culture communicates (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2002). Language determines and defines man’s humanity. 179 Motanya: Nigerian Pidgin: A Means of Human Development In Nigeria, we have three major indigenous languages that have national status.
