In a recent interview, Efya stated that the music marketplaces in Ghana and Nigeria are not the same, speaking with City 105.1 FM in Lagos. There are far more Nigerians than there are of us. These days, numbers are really important. There is a difference in the number of Nigerians who will stream music and Ghanaian music in Nigeria and Ghana, respectively. The figures do not add up.
“When it comes to sheer volume, Lagos surpasses Ghana. It is comparable to the music hub. Nigerians outnumber us in size. So, I usually ask, “Do you guys know?” when I witness someone comparing.
“There ought to be no analogies made. My belief is that we ought to work together more frequently. Discover our vibrations and combine them to shape the future of Afrobeats; let us become the guardians of our own sound. And I believe it to be the move of power.
