About two nights ago on local news, it was viewed as lord of ajasa and a couple of other nigerian artist like "nigga raw", "too-shortz", and "charlie boy" had a peaceful demostration against the music pirates in ngeria.
Incase you did not know, pirates run the music business in nigeria, and they are running it to the gorund. They call the shorts, and say howmuch artist should be paid for their works. Pirates/marketers like "t-joe", "iyke d-don" "obaino", "ahbu", and the likes. They view the popularity of your songs, and the air-play you gain, and also your past works, before they conclude on what to pay you, and then they make all the profit, as the payment is must time one time settlemnets.
Lord of ajasa particularly had a problem with his deal with "T-Joe", saying he is still yet to be paid his 2,500,000 royalties from t-joe.
Too-shortz also spoke on the matter of piracy and asked his fellow artist to come out and fight the pirates as one.saying that, even if they did not have any problem with pirates now, they might have in the future, and it would be better to fight them as one.
Charlie boy also complained about this same marketer,saying that he gave his master disc to the individual since middle last year, and is still yet to get any payment from him.
