If you know me you know I'm not xenophobic, and have nothing against all these accomplished Naija singers that we make idols of. I have always respected them for being hard-working, high-achieving, and ambitious. But I'm not gonna have to pretend like there is no difference between some of their songs and dope.
In fact, if there's any that I've listened to, which though popularised, but whose lyrics are not a repetition of one thing over and over, and over, like, d'oh! with so many interjections in between, it's not more than a fistful.
If only we can give ours a just valuation and a better appreciation like we do others, and promote brand Gambia as religiously, I swear down ours will no longer be at the mercy of anything from outside. In fact, any divergence from how we do it may someday be equivalent to lacking in delicacy and refinement, and it's possible - especially now that all these emcees and public performers have this freedom to release their creativity from fetters and self censorship.
But, mtcheew! Maybe President Barrow will fix that too... lol
