Zimbabweans Think Nigerian Artists Are Great.Read what Buffalo Souljah said..............


Buffalo Souljah, who has been nominated twice in this year's Chan¬nel O Awards, said it is difficult for artists from Zimbabwe and Malawi to compete with Nigerian artists because music in Nigeria receives huge support.
I think we will come together and support each other because Zimbabwean artists also struggle to get investors. For now, we have to depend on our fans, put local music first and if our fans buy our music and attend the shows, we can use that money to better our music and videos.
"Of course I am humbled for being nominated among Africa's giants like P-Square meaning I am also a heavyweight. But I am very excited because this is the first nomination under my own label U.N.Aent," said Buffalo Souljah who has won four Channel O Awards and he is the only Zimbabwean nominated this year.
He argued that no artist from Ma¬lawi has been nominated because the investment in music videos cannot match that of artists in other countries.
"We have good music in Malawi and Zimbabwe but there is need to invest in the music videos we produce. If you talk about D'Banj or P-Square, their video budgets are just huge meaning the videos will often times be good," he said.
Buffalo Souljah said big African artists video budgets are between 100,000 Rands and 200,000 Rands (between K3.6 million to K7.2 mil¬lion each music video) which most artists cannot afford.
"Nigerians are lucky because there is huge investment in the industry and private sponsors are ready to invest their money," he said.
Buffalo Souljah, who has performed in Malawi multiple times said Malawi was his home and if he wins, he would celebrate with Malawians.
This is real good news,ProudlyNigerian jare.
