At some point you have to learn to trust your own feelings and opinions. Running to your friends to solve every dilemma you’re in, isn’t the answer. Nobody knows the ins and outs of your life better than you. And friends often advise based on one side of the story - your side.

RE: Burna Boy and Nigerian music lack of substance.

Whenever Burna Boy has to sell a new album to a foreign, Westernised market, he finds a divisive narrative to bestow him exceptionalism in a market that does not know his backstory or lack proper context to process his bullshit.

He cannibalises his people for strangers who are yet to fully commit to him.

Previous campaigns saw him wearing activism as a cloak, and standing in line for "oppressed Africans," to provide himself the marketing angle to push out African Giant and Twice As Tall.

And following the blessings of "Last Last," he's aiming for a trifecta, by going all in with his Messianic messaging.

"Nigerian music has no substance," he says, before positioning himself and his output as the most substantial creative expression from Nigeria.

Nigerian music has substance. We are a party nation, finding expression in rhythm and emotional upliftment via happy music. That's why the drumming continues to be most recurring instrument in all our of pop music.

For themes, Nigerian music embraces escapism and realism. While Burna is right that, "it's a good time," he also fails to understand that the good feeling is a consequence of natural need for emotional upliftment. Has he paid any attention to our lyrics?

We danced to Omah Lay's "Soso," a record about deteriorating mental health, and the cultural toxic reliance on women to perform unpaid emotional labour.

Shallipopi might use Amapiano to get you off your seat, but self-actualization via survival is a central theme in his expression. Odumodublvck oscillates between love, camaraderie and community upliftment, but his tools of trade are often coarse and rudimentary.

And how about our eternal obsession with love? Where Adekunle Gold, Joeboy, Rema, Fireboy DML, Blaqbonez and BNXN have constantly explored all the facets of human connection, and the dance that precedes connectivity and companionship.

While we might dance to Joeboy's "Sip (alcohol), we are witnessing and turning up to a beaten man, reliant on substance abuse to prop up his sanity and cope with the trauma of survival. We just don't see it, because we're too busy dancing.

When people say, "Nigerian music does not have substance," it's not an indictment on the culture and our tendency to oversimplify deep issues, communicating weighty themes via dance music.

It's a window into that person's mind. That window exposes a lack of intellectual leap, or the refusal to see our music beyond the happy feeling it provides.

Nigerian music is a reflection of the Nigerian society. Burna Boy is wrong for debasing his country's art.

If you travel by air a lot, beware of over friendly chatty seat neighbours.

The older lady comes and sits next to me inside the plane. She asked me to help her put her bag in the overhead luggage compartment. But a gentleman sitting across quickly came through.
