Grammy is Not for Nigerians – HipTV Owner
HipTV owner and the brain behind the ‘Headies’ awards, Ayo Animashaun, has declared that the Grammy is not for Nigerian artistes.
In a recent interview with Tribune, when asked what is limiting Nigerian music from winning the Grammys, he said: “I really don’t understand why Nigerians want to win the Grammys.
Grammys are not for us, but for Americans. We should get that right. They put everybody in one world music category. We are not their focus. It is not for us. Yes, we can win awards, but they do not show us the way they run the award category during the show. .
I think we should make our own awards, our own Grammy and I would say it any day that the Grammy is not for us. They have built something big for themselves. Let them come and win awards in Nigeria or Africa.
We don’t celebrate our own things. It’s just a shame. I have been to the Grammys many times and I don’t see many African artistes. They don’t particularly care because they recognise, mainly, their industry. They don’t know you exist. .
You go there taking pictures with them and when you are taking pictures with them, the guy is already looking somewhere else. See all the artistes that paid for international collaboration. What happened?
They collect your money and they don’t want to come back. They don’t want to collaborate with you. And you know what? You will make so much money here if you really work hard and you will be known in the whole of Africa. .
Build your own. If I tell a sponsor now that we should take five artistes to the Grammy awards, they would be ready to do that but when it comes to Headies, we will be begging for sponsorship. .
Grammy is not our thing. Let’s do our thing. Let’s make it big and fantastatic. Why do you want to win Grammy. There is no World Cup for music.”

“ Actors have become Directors , rubbing Nollywood in the mud “
Not every actor can be a Director , Nollywood has become a joke . You see the title of a movie and you already know the end , you watch for few minutes and nothing keeps you . If you have money , pay a director , get good script writers , let’s make nollywood great again
Remember the days of Tchidi Chikere ? You see a movie from him you just adjust your chair and know it’s a good movie 🍿
You see Ugezu you just know this is a great movie
These days one person wants to do everything, it’s sad .
When was the last time you watched a Nollywood movie without knowing the end ?

She wrote: ‘’So today, I slapped a married man!
Dear women, is high you start to tam your husbands because…..
Imagine a married man that wore his wedding band, walking up to me today and boldly asking for my phone number for us to h∞k up and have fun not minding if I’m married or not.
Normally I would have ignored him and entered my car but the moment I heard “let’s h∞k up and have fun” the right answer was the resounding slap he received from me on a hot afternoon!”

Is Love Without Billing Possible In Southern Nigeria? —Reno Omokri
I can understand why Moses Bliss married a Ghanaian. I have been to Ghana, and their women tend to be easier to relate with than many Southern Nigerian women. In fact, is love without billing still possible in Southern Nigeria? In our part of the world, ‘He is loving’ means ‘He is spending’. When you tell many Southern Nigerian girls, ‘I love you’, they hear, ‘You owe me’. Especially those with Industrial Money Obtainer culture. If you marry the Industrial Money Obtainers, I pity you. The billing will become industrial. You will look after her and her entire family. No capping. And better not expect gratitude. In their eyes, you are doing your duty.
If Nigeria had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to more countries, there would be an epidemic of unmarried women in Nigeria. Because when Southern Nigerian men travel within Africa and outside Africa and encounter beautiful women who are not money conscious, they quickly lose their appetite for Nigerian women. Already, Nigerian men are considered a catch by South African and Kenyan women.
We urgently need a cultural reorientation amongst our women. Especially in Southern Nigeria. The monetisation of relationships in Southern Nigeria is just too suffocating. I am well-traveled, and I am yet to see the level of commercialisation of romance I have seen in Southern Nigeria. I call it as I see it!
