The popular actress thinks it will be difficult to curtail the dominance of Nigerian songs in the country if musicians in Ghana are not levelling up.

For some time now, Nigerian music has dominated the Ghanaian environment, which is becoming increasingly concerning.

The Nigerian music industry is a fast-growing one and it is no doubt that they are enjoying the fruit of their hard work.

The popularity of music of Nigerian origin in Ghana and on the African continent is not entirely surprising and is quite obviously hinged on some inherent advantages Nigeria has over the rest of the continent.
