Prince Nico Mbarga was a Nigerian, His mother was a Nigerian, his father was a cameroonian, Prince Nico Mbarga was born in Nigeria, lived in Nigeria and died and buried in Nigeria.
Sweet Mother is a Nigerian Highlife not Makossa.
Teejay, thanks for bringing this up. Cameroon 🇨🇲 thanks for teaching us 🙏. God bless you. This podcast Cameroon 🇨🇲 man will soon use Nigeria 🇳🇬 to blow up his viewership. But I hope they taught Nigeria 🇳🇬 scam and bad governance 😂😂😂
I didn't know that prince nico mgarga song sweet mother is a makosa makosa ooo 😂😂😂😂 this guy's so funny
Things like this is why Africa will forever stay at the bottom of the global chain.
Bless you bro for saying the fact about this mugu😂
Dear Emeka,
Firstly, the man from Cameroun seeks traction the wrong way. He knows of a fact that Nico Mbarga sang highlife but NEVER SANG MAKOSSA whose great exponent was Uncle Manu Dibango.
2. Prince Nico Mbarga was born of a Nigerian Mother, in Abakaliki capital of Ebonyi State in Igbo land (Nigeria). Mbarga's father was Camerounian.
3. Prince Nico Mbarga lived and was trained to sing all his songs including Sweet Mother, in Nigeria.
4. He died in Calabar in Cross River State (Nigeria). His children even erected a statue in IKOM (Cross River State) where he lived, to honour him.
5. Emeka-Imasuen-Folarin, the chap in the video seeks recognition. He knows that any reference to NIGERIA on social media catches GOLD regardless of the content.
6. As for you Emeka-Imasuen-Folarin, all Naija pikins wish you Gold. May your Communication Channels all bring you massive traction of Gold. My beloved Naija people❤ please say Amen!
To say the truth,Nigeria artists sample makosa alot, like flavour and many more,and Nigerians love makosa beat, that is why Nigeria artists fuse makosa in Afrobeat, and that is why Cameroon fans like Nigeria music becus,Nigeria artists have fuse there culture into Afrobeats,and add pidgin English to it, we are still 1 people,1 African,me as a Nigeria I love makosa I grow with it,back then,
Nico Mbarga (1 January 1950 - 23 June 1997),[1] better known as Prince Nico Mbarga, was a Cameroonian-Nigerian highlife musician, born to a Nigerian mother and a Cameroonian father in Abakaliki, Nigeria.[2] He is renowned for his hit song "Sweet Mother", recorded with his band Rocafil Jazz, which has been described as the best-selling song in history by an African recording artist.[3]
Nice 👍
Uncle Mr Folarin
Teejay that music is of prince nico mgarga. His mother was nigerian, he was born in nigeria, he started and ended his music carreer in nigeria. He became famous in nigeria. Nigerians loved him. His song was in english and pidgin instead of french. I personally didnt even know his father was a cameroonian until he died. He lived and died a nigerian. All these are products of hate
😂😂😂
👍
Is because of the success story jare
Every kind of music and musician had sample so many different kind of music.Even that music was sample from somewhere else, so what is the problem.
Prince Nico Mbarga, can be said to be a Nigerian. His mother is Nigerian, he was born, lived and died in Nigeria. Moreover, " Sweet mother" does not sound like Makossa
You day mind this people
The guy don't know the history of Price Nico
His music is highlife
Well kept
👌
Teejay, you are right, success comes with hate, and envy. I have never seen where someone hate and envy unsuccessful person, apart from that the guy in person he is mentioning prince mba the mother is from Nigeria, he was brought up in Nigeria 🇳🇬, he spent the rest of his life in Nigeria, okay if sampling is his problem tell Cameroon to also sample Nigeria music if he thinks it’s simple and easy.
👍
Nico Mbarga Mom is an Igbo woman from Ebonyi state, the same state as Tekno. Thank Goodness for wikipedia. This guy just want Nigerians to respond to him.
Don't blame him because frustration can make someone to like him
This one dey find who go promote him haaa look at him.. This is envy
You can only throw stone at the ripe fruit. Let them all be talking....Thank you Teejay. Only the positive ones will attract the greatness that Nigeria has assumed
The Cameroonian guy wants to trend through Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Nigerians 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬. We gonna ignore him for real.
Emeka carry go my bro
He must be up with some substance, Prince Nico mbarga mum is Igbo from abakiliki Ebonyi state Nigeria while his father is a Cameroonian
He was also born and leaved most of his life in Nigeria too
You go explain tire...
Imasuen one of the universe....I'm watching from my Bern neighbourhood in Swiss....ride on buddy ❤
🙏
We africa have a very big problem Africa we never grow because Africa is always jealous of other Africans that is growing
Ghana said that they teach Nigeria everything Senegal said that they teach Nigeria everything Cameroon says that they teach Nigeria everything is like everybody is teaching Nigeria everything but if those things are not growing nobody will come out to say that they teaching Nigeria the things that is not growing but ones is growing you will see them saying they teach Nigeria everything
This make me wonder those bad stuff that is happening in Nigeria who we comes out to say that they are the one that teach Nigeria those bad things. because not only good things you guys supposed to teach us who teach us the bad things. i wants to know because everybody is saying that Nigeria is copying the Nigeria is learning from them
Teejay thanks for you insight as usual.Makossa was a big sound back then.In fact bigger than Azonto.Just put the population of Southern & Eastern Nigeria + all the french speaking Countries in Africa listening and vibing to it.
At one point while Nigeria had Fela,Ghana had Osibisa and Cameroon had Manu Dibango.Go and research it.Sweet Mother song by Mbarga he was talking about was very huge then and now.The sound was highlife/ Nigeria sound not your typical Makosa genre done by Cameroonian artistes i.e Grace Decca or Petit Pays.Finally Mbarga Mom is Nigerian of igbo descent and his Dad is Cameroonian/ Francophone descent. He stayed in Nigeria more than he ever did in Cameroon hence his music was mostly in Pidgin English and Igbo.I still remember the Cameroonian asking him to do sweet Father after the success of sweet mother which he did but was not a success at all.
Nice hair do
🙏
Prince Nico is partly Cameroon and partly Nigeria which one is sampling when the mother is a Nigerian
Nico Mbarga music genre was highlife. He was born, raised, lived and died in Nigeria. What does macossa got to do with Nico Mbarga highlife? We don suffer for other Africans
I wonder ooo. Nico sweet mother sold 30 Million copies and signed on EMI records, same as Christy Essien Igbokwe who sang at soul Olympic Olympic.
But why una no make makosa go global
Funny enough the singer of sweet mother is Nigerian Cameroonian and spent most of his life in Nigeria.
I really don't get what he meant, is he trying to say they thought us music or we stole their songs/melody? I didn't get his point at all, because he was just blabbing.
If I had seen that Cameroonian dude i will simply call him a bush man. Sampling of popular songs is as old as anything. The dude is talking as if we are unaware of song samplings in Nigeria. Song sampling is part of modern music art. It's no big deal. If its complete sampling, you give credits and pay sometimes. If it's partial, you just give credits. As a matter of fact Nigerians actually sample more from our older musicians, legends. Of course our artists sample songs from other lands and that is part of what make us tick in this business. We are very good at it. A couple of Amapiano songs from SA have been made popular by our artist's and the DJ's are aware and gave consent. Artists from US, UK, Latin America all sample songs from other lands or within. Below are songs Nigerian artists have sampled and made them popular. 👇🏾
1. Burna boy sampled Brandy - 'Sitting on top of the world'.
2. Sampled Toni Braxton - 'He wasn't man enough'. Braxton have not stopped thanking Burna boy for what he did with the song.
3. He took from our big oga Fela Kuti in 'sorrow'.
4. Soukous Stars as far back as 1994 'LAGOS NIGHT' sampled Prince Nico Mbarga Christiana, Sweet mother, Oriental brothers etc all Naija hit songs then.
5. They equally sampled Kenyan hit songs in NIAROBI NIGHTS.
6. P Square & Phyno's - 'Bank Alert' was taking from Onyeka Onwenu's 'Iyogogo'
7. Flavour's Ashawo remix which was a worldwide monster hit was from Cardinal Rex Jim Lawson of the blessed memory.
8. Ayra Starr - 'Sability' was taking from Awilo Logomba 'Bamba coupe'. And he loves Nigeria more anyone till date and still visits regularly.
9. Ayra Starr - 'Sare' taking from Lijadu sisters Oréré Olejigbo
10. Wizkid 'Jaiye Jaiye' is from Fela Kuti's 'Lady'.
11. Davido sampled Kojo Funds ' 'Don talking' on his "IF" monster worldwide hit track.
12. Flavour's Nwa Baby hit the beat was taking from Chaka Demus & Pliers. Etc
These people are simply envious bcos nobody stops you from sampling other's songs. If they think it's easy let them try. By the a lot of them are not free. Our guys pay for these samplings bcos they're someone's intellectual property.
Thank you TeeJay as usual for giving an honest opinion as usual. 🙏🏾🙏🏾✅✅🇳🇬🙌🏾
Guy you are a G.O.A.T. you are simply terrific
The man dat sons sweet mother is half Nigerian and cameroona the man calaba in Nigeria
That Cameron man is so poor, that he is looking for support from Nigeria
Nico Mbaruga's mother is from Nigeria and he lived and died in Nigeria. His genre of music is highlife not Makosa.
First things first........Prince Nico Mbarga was born of Cameroon father and a Naija mother. He was bred and made in Nigeria by Ide Rodgers Okonkwo the Chairman of Rogers AllStars Studios inside his Onitsha studios and in Awka Anambra state Nigeria. Same man made a lot of Ghanaian Highlife Bands of the 80's like Canadoes & Okukuseku etc. He made Bright Chimezie, Ikenga Super Stars of Africa etc all of the 70's, 80's and 90's. Cameroonians have a right to claim him bcos he was born by a Cameroonian . However we made him and own his brand including that Sweet mother song. It was known more as a Nigerian song bcos it was made in Nigeria. He does makossa and sometimes highlife. Cameroon didn't contribute anything to his life. We did. He died in Nigeria. His family are all still living in Nigeria. Fair play to them they have a right to him, but we made him and his songs.
I grew up knowing that "Sweet mother" is a Nigerian highlife song. And so what if it happens that it is a Cameroonian song? Other countries are doing Afrobeats today, so how is that an issue?
These guys should just let us be
So what is our brother's point? They sample, they didn't sample, what's your point brother Cameronian?
He needs views. Onye ama 😅
Ghana started this nonsense. To a point where no music out of Nigeria belongs to Nigeria. Yet, Nigeria larger than Ghana and Cameroon, and has more music genre than Ghana and Combined.
Teejay!!! When u go come Naija con do Netflix and chill now?
Very soon sir,just watch this space...
@@teejaystudios220 Naija legion dey ur back no fear. U na correct man.
@@udobele3989 Let's link up...
Nigerians sample makosa and hilife from time jn memorial...its not today... Howevee bear kn mind cameroun is next door to nigerian... All the genres in sub saharan Africa are being sampled in Nigeria... Its the music industry of Africa... They have too sample everything... Other african country too should do the same
Why are you people in attacking yourself, just because of Nigeria, why are you not doing what they are taking from you people in Africa about Nigeria, can't you see what the people of Nigeria are facing in there country,❤
Still on one love
"Sweet mother" is highlife and not makosa. This is a Nigerian song not Cameroonian.
Prince Nico is a Nigerian artist highlife ßinger. Sweet mother sold over 30 Million copies and was on EMI records.
😊😊 Everyone is teaching Nigeria something
This guy is hungry
😂😂😂What is the difference between melody and sample? Does using a melody means sampling? Funny guy, using Davido and Tecno to generalize every nigerian artist is kinda funny. Why cannot Cameroon artist sample their genre?
The irony here is that in truth, Nico Mbarga was born to a Cameroonian father and Nigerian mother In Abakaliki!
He lived and recorded in Nigeria (Tabansi).
In fact Mbarga died in Calabar and was buried in Ikom both in Crossriver Nigeria!
See wahala 😫.
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
Page 2:
Prince Nico Mbarga's children erected a statue to immortalise him at IKOM in Cross River State (Nigeria). Nico Mbarga's son, Nico Mbarga Jnr informed Premium Times Nigeria ( Jan 8, 2018) in the article written by Jayne Augoye, stated that the late Prince Nico Mbarga lived and did business in IKOM while fostering his music career!
The man in the video is just seeking attention. He should stop talking about what he dies not know about Nigerian music. Mbarga never sung MAKOSSA. All his songs were Highlife.
Cheers!
That is what I know. Nico's genre was highlife. Until his death, he was a Nigerian. His music produced in Onitsha where he started his musical career. This guy needs to do his research well
Ahhhhh, please, is sweet mother not a Nigerian song??????😢
The same thing is happening in your media in Ghana 🇬🇭 right now over davido's win from the Ghana music award given to him by your people, but all your media is vexed by this wow. Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Nigerians please dey your dey abeg. Ghanaians and Ghana 🇬🇭 do not love us and will never. The anger is real because anything that the media house spew out is what the government and people want. Teejay, I love you and your views, but I strongly believe you can't fight this alone unless you have a television show
I hope Nigerians don’t respond to this guy. He definitely wants attention.
What is wrong with all this Africans coming here to speak about one sound, one beat, one this and that, you guy forget that all this beats came from Africa and that is why is called afrobeat music, guy just enjoy it and play along 4 real... Niaja 4 live...
Prince Nico Mbaraga was Half Nigerian who lived out his life as a Nigerian! Sweet mother was a pure High life sound! Not makosa! You people should always get your facts right! And what's wrong with sampling & improving a sound?? Every A List artist on earth starting from Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Chris Brown etc. has sampled songs! So, what exactly is his point ??
So, the bottom line is everything in nigeria is sampled?
Even our president is sampled from Paul Biya...
& of course Cameroon doesn't sample anything, shebi?
Mr researcher if DJs are playing our big Artist songs please don't vibe to it since it's makosa. Don't go and big up your industries, you people will just die of jealousy.
He should close his mouth is makosa not African music, did we stop anybody not sampling old songs from Nigeria 😂😂
Why don't you sample too,if it's easy
He is an olodo
So because his mother is a Nigerian he is not ?
Teejay you make a valid point, with success, comes strands of entitlement from some and jealousy and envy from others!!
But you are right, the fleas come with the dog!!
We have to live with it!
That said, the song "Sweet Mother" is regarded as a Nigerian highlife song and not a makossa song!
Prince Nico Mbarga was indeed born to a Cameroonian father and a Nigerian mother!
He was born In Abakaliki in south east Nigeria!
He recorded the hit song in Nigeria!
His business interests included a hotel located in Crossriver state where his mother is from!
It's like English people claiming Bob Marley was an English singer because his father was white, or that he sampled English music just because he sang in English!!
It is bewildering, the sense of entitlement and encroachment that the Nigerian Afrobeats genre has to endure!!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
Why can't you do the same and become great??
@@abiodunjogbodo8129 Do explain yourself Biodun, can't decipher your comment!!
Cheers 👋🏾.
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
@@aframaco9491biodun was referring to the cameroonian
he is sick up in his brain! musically niko nbaga is not known globally with any attachment to casmeroon! he lives in naija n his music was done here in naija.
lazy people 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Then, use the makossa to go global. Stop this hate speech. Just because the naija artists are doing well, it has become the issue of all eyes on me. If Makossa is that good, take it to the world and stop trying to downplay other people's efforts. Nico mbaga was a nigerian/ Cameroonian who was born by a nigerian mother and Cameroonian father. He lived all his life in Nigeria, which is the country of birth. The man should check the highlife music of Eastern Nigeria during nico's era and shut up.
Obviously this guy wants attention just like any other african attention seekers
His an ignorant, Price Nico started his music in Nigeria
Most of his songs was in broken English and Igbo.There is none in French.I live partly in Abidjan and we play the Sweet mother in English.
His mother was a Nigerian while his father was a Cameroonian who lived and died in Nigeria. All through his life, Nico Mbaga live and died, buried in Nigeria. He never claimed Cameroonian in his life.
