Nigerian artists like Seyi Vibes, Shallipopi, Omah Lay, are individually bigger than all the Ghanaian artists put together.

NIGERIA HAS HIGHLIFE IN EVERY REGION!
We dont even have the same kind of highlife all over Nigeria.
To say we only have juju music!??😅😅
Thats the music of a sub-region, of a sub- region of a larger region in a part of Nigeria!.
Yall desperate and its sad!

I have never seen a nation so desperate to insert itself into the history and success story of another nation, as much as Ghana does with Nigeria like wtf.

You insist on telling our history on our behalf, to manipulate the narrative to include yourselves!
Please Ghana! Get a life! Let us breathe!

Nigerian boys (Tuface et al) as if there were not Sunny Okosun, Sunny Ade , Chris Okotie etc. Ghanaian knows it all including telling the stories of others.

Why are Ghanaians such a big liars? Amakye Dede was born in 1958 and started doing music in 1973. How could he have taught the Nigerians highlife music that was already being played by Rex Lawson, Sir Victor Uwaifo, or Osita Osadebe?

Just see how useless and uninformed these Ghanaians truly are: For example. Rex Lawson was born in 1938, and started playing Highlife music since 1950. Victor Uwaifo was born in 1941, and has been doing highlife music since 1960. So, how could Amakye Dede, who started his musical career in 1973, teach Nigerians how to do highlife, when there were already highlife musicians already in Nigerian before he even started musical career?

The man said: Nigeria knew only JUJU music
Ghanaians are familiar with Lagos, which is Yoruba land. So, they use Yoruba culture to define Nigeria. Juju music is Yoruba music. And Yoruba tribe has several other genre than juju.
Yoruba tribe is just one of the 430 tribes in Nigeria. And each tribe has several genre of music; for wedding, funeral, worship, farming, etc.
It is ironic that Ghanaians always talks about Nigeria's size and population, but do not know that Nigeria's massive size comes with wide diversity. I will make a video to educate Ghana.

This man is talking nonsense.
1, Davido and Teni finished University in the US.
D'banj, Tiwa Savage, Tems and many Nigerian musicians are well educated even Rema and Ayra Starr are very educated.
Old musicians like Banky W and many others are very well educated and they finished University in the US and UK.

2, Highlife is a West African music, every country in the West Africa region have their own type of Highlife music.
Ghanaians didn't bring Highlife to Nigeria in the 80s. 😮😂😂😂

The Nigerians from the East (The Igbos) were doing Highlife way before Ghanaian immigrants came to Nigeria in the 80s.
There are 1950s, 1960s and 1970s Igbo Highlife are even on YouTube.

Some of the old skool Ghanaian Highlife musicians who came to Nigeria in the 80s even signed to the Record Lebels in the Eastern part of Nigeria and they were mixing Igbo words and Nigerian pidgin with Twi just to gain popularity in Nigeria the same way the new generation Ghanaian musicians are doing today copying Nigerian Afrobeats and Nigerian pidgin.

This Generation Nigerian music is Afrobeats so stop calling it Highlife. It's not Highlife.

East African musicians features Nigerian musicians not not Nigerians features them.

Nigerians do Afrobeat and Afrobeats not Highlife.
Only Eastern part of Nigeria do Highlife.

Ghana always surprises me. Nigeria is not like Ghana where you all speak or understand one language
The only language that all Nigerian use to communicate with each other is English. Nigeria is like 6 countries in one country. You guys need to get your facts straight before coming into air
Check this out.
Nigeria western part (Yoruba) has Yoruba highlife,Juju.Apala, Fuji, Afro beat and Reggae.

Nigeria western part ( Igbo) Igbo has highlife, ogene, Africans beat/ beats, Reggae

Nigeria northern part Hausa/Fulani has folk music and urban court music.
