Hilarious! Actor James Omokwe trashes 'garbage music' in Nigeria
I like Wizkid and I think he's one the best musical talents we have in Nigeria. But actor James Omokwe, best known as Kenny of popular TV series Shallow Waters doesn't appreciate Wizkid's new song 'In My bed'. The way he analyzed it on his Facebook page a few days ago is hilarious. Start from above and continue after the cut and tell us if you agree with him...
Linda plss keep ur money but let my posts show plsssss. It's very frustrating seeing that ur post has been thrown out the window, that's considering the much effort u put into structuring ur thots
Abeg i wish i can sing garbage and make money like wiz kid. all this olodos including the mumu actor james omokwe abeg make una go watch cartoon if una no like the song. okpos
My I don ask myself this same question when I hear am. Thing is our radio stations are playing or do I say encouraging this garbage. We are not a people of lyrics, as long as we can dance to it, some people will dance to "your Mama na winch, your Papa be thief. Come make we shake body".
@James omokwe, you are very right! We have very bad music in naija.. The problems in naija is so much that most people don't want to listen to music that makes them think!.. All they want is to dance and forget their troubles. Heheheh. Am with you Mehn!! Heheheh
Don't get d guy wrong, he's referring to all dem musician, jes using wizkid as a 'perfec' example... Cos dat guy is d numba 1 trash singer in Nig. Davido's GF
u should ask wizzy the relationship he is avn with 2 famous and notorious cult guys he mentioned in his song igimu and banna this are 2 strong killers holding surulere
Lmfaaaoooo I so agree, I'm a big wizkid fan, infact a wizkid fanatic but that "in my bed" song is just rubbish, it's the worst to happen to nigeria this year, the song stupid gaan, like wat was he even tinking wen he was recording that garbage, as in wizkid just needs some time off, and he just dashed tyga money, bcos he didn't sing anything in "show u the money" remix he was just playing wit the song, no be by force to feature american artiste
What is d hardwork in that junk nw...pls if these pipu gives us shit,...must we digest d shit all the..m a big fan of wizkid, buh "in my bed is total rubbish"..lets be realistic
Its funny but true, our children will not have songs to listen to. Plus they in turn will follow d trend. Come to think of it, how can the leaders of today want yo give power to the seemingly manifold "irresponsible" youths we have today....hmmmm #just thinking out loud
My dear Lyrics are important. That's what makes a song. Not the beat. That's why no so called famous Nigerian musician has won a Grammy. Especially the singers of today. This is because they sing crappy songs with zero lyrics.
I have nothing personal against wizzy. But a lot of his recent songs have very lame n shallow lyrics. Some of our Nigerian artists are guilty of this crime.
Nope, I don't agree with you on the Beyonce song. If you listen properly you would she she meant she woke up flawless and beautiful. That the name of the song. And ChimAmanda's part shows girl power. So there is lyrical content.
Some peepz be like this guy's analysis ain't making no sense but wait till whizkid truly things he can move to the power corridor. You ain't see nofin yet.
Some peepz be like this guy's analysis ain't making no sense but wait till whizkid truly things he can move to the power corridor. You ain't see nofin yet.
but about 85% of Nigerian music lacks lyrical content. I thought we already knew this? If they start making sense no one will buy their music. It's sad but it's true. People just talking about how they want to groove - in the long run this dumb music will affect you subliminally and you'll start acting dumb. it's science.
Some peepz be like this guy's analysis ain't making no sense but wait till whizkid truly things he can move to the power corridor. You ain't see nofin yet.
Oga teacher why u never release your own mix tape now. Nonsense if you like no go make mine like wizzy baby Dey there Dey hate...fucking Jew. Wizzy more shekpe to your name....no be our fault blame our secondary school teachers
lol if u want to prove a point u should av mention not only wizzy bt guy tell me one club in nigeria today dat would not play in my bed in one nite excluded d ones dat owns by haters like u instead of u to talk about stupid naked films u people produce u re here saying shit dont u no ELENIYAn means some1 lot of people love dat is fashola eleniyan, linda if davido shit u will post it but u love negative things about wizzy REMENBER u are nt perfect either
Although James is right concerning d rate of garbage music we have in Nigeria today. He is wrong to have used one artist to drive home his point.besides we can't also blame these artist for the songs they produce,its what the public wants. Gone are the days when meaningful songs sell big time and get recognition. When iyanya and praiz started singing after winning project fame, how many people really listened to their song or timi dakolo's album but when iyanya sang kukere he was instantly recognised, d same can be said of davido's skelewu but I like the song. At a point in time I got fed up listening to ice prince rap because he would always say " EFCC chase my guy" no matter want kind of song it is. So I think it's unfair to picking one artist out of thousands and like someone said he didn't start it. No one is perfect, the best we can do is encourage them to produce better songs and not castigate them or bring them down. This is their source of livelihood. Praise dem and encourage them.
I know some burnt brained retards who helps my sister linlin ikeji smile to the bank have said some stupid retarded comment but I will ignore it as they don't know any better. I will concentrate on thus guy. He cracked me up real good. He couldn't be more correct. The creativity in his writing shows he is an intelligent young man. Thumbs up dude.
The song is not really nice but what majority of Naija youth want to do is dance to the GBEDU, even if it's one that would kill them...lol. Please let's help reshape music industry is falling... IVote4GoodMusic
Finally!! someone that shares my view. i thought I'm the only one who doesn't like Wizkid's songs. Like they freaking don't make any sense. His lyrics are horrible. He needs to go to music school. Someone really needs to stop him. But then I don't understand Nigerians, be jamming to his songs anyhow eg show me the money. I think that song is really senseless and the lyrics are just wack. We really need to ban garbage music in Nigeria please
That is why nigeria is what it is today. Somebody is complaining about wizkid wack song and you are busy mentoning eminado and dorobucci. So you want to say you dont know what they are saying in eminado and dorobucci. Is it the same thing wizikid mentioning Fashola in his wack song. Please go and get a life.
Many songs by Nigeria artists are banal, and just like Professor Femi Osofisan said: "It is meant for those who seek nothing out of music but that it should intoxicate and empty their minds".
This man said my mind. People can call him names but he told the truth. The first time I heard the song I said the same thing. I was disappointed. Lyrically poor song. Shout out to mike okri, alex zitto, alex o, daniel wilson, blakky and others for making good music in the late 80s n 90s.
Well choreoclass *in olamide's voice* this is a well written article. Well, almost lik he is picking on the young man buh its just totally true. The song has a confused direction. Its more lik dey make good beats and just say watever pops out of their heads. I guess its cos we always dance to dem. If we as a people demand for more technical input by our artists by not paying attention to their garbage outputs den they will sit down and do some good songs for us. The ones with good music hav been frustrated out of the industry cos its lik dey came b4 their tym.
That song as two sides, the part for the chic n the part where he pays homeage to some pple. If u don't understand a language dont say shit. I understand what u mean by garbage music but this song makes sense n it was a nice melodiously song from beat to delivery. Stop hating on others to seek ur fame. Climb up d ladder in peace or if u get there dis way u will b pulled down
Our music sucks like hell... Songs that only last for 3 months, meaningless lyrics, fake swags... 95% of the so called A-list artistes in Nigeria sucks.
This is part of d problem of our society...shallow minds like you..Is life about money or about the lives u ve been able to touch by whatever it is you do? I feel sorry for this generation..And again *solo solo* get some exposure,u definitely lack it
From ur profile,i see u are a student..and if this is ur mentality as an undergrad (money is everythn) then ur parents have wasted their sweat sending u to skool
What he said makes sense, but I'm worried because if you ain't successful in your field you should be careful not to shade some one who is. James is actually a director not an actor and from his previous films......understanding his storyline is still lacking. It will be nice to be someone first then advice another person to change something...
It's a shame if u call such garbage 'someone else's work'..A song that emanated frm a night of smoking and frolicking cheap girls...Says a lot about ur personality.. The future is bleak for Nigeria
First James is not an actor, he is a Director. A director that does garbage movies so far...since he wants to compare naij music with western..we have to compare his work with the western work as well. James I doubt this was a brilliant move. I hope you get popular through this. Must be the aim.
Linda don't give us dat I like Wizkid crap,u always publicise negative tins abt him, soo wetin Dorobucci, Eminado,Kukerre means?85% of naijaa music dooest av substance n u know it yet na only Wizkid u pick out
Support you totally and absolutely. The raw truth is that most of our musicians are egg heads; all they preach is sex or money. With some of them going into politics, one can only but imagine Chris Brown, Rihanna or worse still Kim Kardashian going into politics. God help us all.
My broda...Mr. Can yan, its obvious that u are jobless and u are just an attention seeking fowl. so u have u been slpn for d pst how many yrs of ur life dat its only Whiz's lyrics dat baffles u.'pure beef' I can c dat u are not making in in ur present career so u need diversion biko go and apply for job with LAWMA @ lst u'll b able to trash lagos garbage. Hypo ppl, like say na only Whizy dey get dat kind lyrics. Azuuuuu
U r right beeteewhy...... Tot I was d only one dat noticed him...... Anywayz concerning the post..... Dat is y I stick to Fela anikulapokuti jejely while driving.....
@James or worefa u call yasef, u are just an attention seeking fowl.Av been sleepn all dis yrs abi so its wiz's lyrics dat woke u up of all of dem 'pure beef'. U for try this kain comment with Olamide (Badoo) now so that he can finish your generation with words. Guy its obvious that u are not making it in ur present career so jst go and apply with LAWMA and start trashing garbage for Lagos State... Hypo!
Stupid response WD u are really dumb so for ur mind u make sense abi? U wven have d guts to include flavour who is d one of d most talented musician we have in Nigeria
I must commend James Omokwe for his courage to speak out though in a satirical manner.
The important thing to draw out of this expose is that as a society, we have to be cautious of the impact of musical content delivered on the airwaves particularly on the younger generation.
Musical content with properly laid out Chain of thoughts on a subject matter that affects society should be encouraged because Music itself is an educational and enlightenment vehicle which can be used to preach moral values.
Let us correct the ills now before it is too late as James had inferred.
To our numerous Nigerian Artistes, remember we are Africans with deep rooted societal values (which we all know has been eroded)...so be a part of the re-building and re-awakening of our societal consciousness.

Garbage music, garbage acting...it's a garbage entertainment industry indeed
These days songs do not make sense. No moral but immoralities. No encouragement to work but encouragement to dream and hope that a magic will happen.
What you behold is what you become... behold the things that puts you on the right track for a bright n positive future.
Sounds funny but he's making a point. garbage music such as this should be banned after just one play...it shouldn't be promoted in anyway.
I think this campaign should be for Yoruba home videos for their immature and empty story lines and unprofessional video directing.
dats his opinon/

What's Fashola doing in this song? Is he in the bed? Lmao! That part killed me
