Ghanaian Reggae singer, Stonebwoy can be of the opinion that Nigerian singers don’t reciprocate the love and help they obtain from Ghana and the remainder of Africa: a controversial opinion first shared by his colleague, Shatta Wale. 
Recall that Shatta Wale had gone on a rant in opposition to Nigerian artistes after he bought out Ghana’s biggest stadium.
However, in a press release on Thursday, Stonebwoy supported Shatta Wale’s controversial claims about Nigerian artistes.
He wrote, “We had been all Africans earlier than we received separated into particular person nations. African historical past and migration research confirms that there’s extra that unites us than divides us. As the massive household that we’re, all of us draw numerous inventive inspiration from each other – no marvel then that we have now related cultures and values throughout the continent, and this cross-pollination is clearly proven in our music and sound.
“With the appearance of the fashionable day nation-state, every unbiased nation is uniquely gifted as a way to contribute its quota to the general standing of Africa’s leisure and artistic arts scene. To do that, we should help one another in equal measure. Our brother nation Nigeria has performed very properly to mark lots of the largest milestones within the leisure scene and is placing Africa on the worldwide map because of the power of its inhabitants (amongst different qualities.
“Accordingly, our Nigerian brothers must consider that with their great power comes the responsibility of helping to forge a united African front by deliberately allowing music from the other African countries which pollinate Nigerian music to flourish on Nigerian platforms on local and international levels. This approach will enable the African sound to dominate the world as one big family and as a global force… That’s how we stand as one Africa.. My brother Shatta Wale’s approach may be wrong but the topic of our brother nation Nigeria not reciprocating the love and support it receives particularly from Ghana is valid and deserves critical attention. Meanwhile, as the saying goes, we must love our neighbours as we love ourselves (not more than we love ourselves). This means that Ghanaians home and abroad must emulate the Nigerian approach of prioritising an agenda to invest in and support Ghanaian talent.”
