Who would have though - I totally agree with what the author says and it would have been better if the Gates visit was hiped - There are somev very talented nigerian artists but I guess there is the notion of seing as they will never have the opportunity to see this artist - they might as well - find the money to see them live - Oh what we have reduced our morals to - all for the sake of money. I still believe there is yet still hope.

Heheh u are making a lot of sense, but I cant deny I love the funk and hiphop...I bet the governors do too or its just some publicity scheme.

My sentiments exactly. I totally agree and found myself nodding all the way. Matter of fact, i just pray my head doesn't fall off. It baffled me to know that governors and top officials were also in attendance and to worsen it all, a street was named after JayZ. Was that really necessary? I say the Nigerian youth can do bad all by him/herself, we don't have to Westernize our music to achieve this. One just needs to look at the content of some of these music videos to see what's up. Are u seriously kidding me, that Bill Gates was in Nigeria around that time, yet we didn't hear anything about his visit? Talk about misplaced priorities right there!

musical shows that glorify God and edify the body does not gain much acceptance and advertisement. Even sponsorship from these media companies. Its a pity. «Where your heart is there lay your treasures».Where are we going to and what happens to the future of our youths?

Hi,

I think that this is a good write -up and we are just seeing the begining of a major moral breakdown in our society.

There is a strange awareness in the entertainment industry in recent times, that seems to defile all known historical and cultural values and the virtues that makes us thick.

It makes me sad whenever I see this strange and sharp twist in our core values.

I just wish we can set our priorities right and understand when we are getting excessive.A N100000, an equivalent of almost $800 for one night show is out of this world for a country whose largest percent is living below poverty line.

I pray God help us to set our priorities right.

No doubt some folks are earning their living from entertainment, but far too many are having their glorious destiny shattered from the same.I just wish we can set our priorities right and understand when we are getting excessive.A N100000, an equivalent of almost $800 for one night show is out of this world for a country whose largest percent is living below poverty line.
