Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, popularly known as Peruzzi, has urged his colleagues to up their crafts  because Nigerians are no longer tolerant of mediocre songs.

According to him, Nigerians are now wiser in terms of the choice of music they consume.

The DMW signee said Nigeria is entering a new era of quality music, and creative who did not up their crafts would be dumb out of the music market.

“Nigerians don wise. If you sing rubbish, dem go clear you. Ordinary snippet, dem go don dey warn you. Clearly time for Some real sweet music.

“Do your homework or comot body era,” he wrote on X.

This is coming days after singer, Ric Hassani decried the drop in the quality of music in Nigeria over the years.

Hassani noted that the hit songs of years back were quality music but the current hit songs are “not very good music”.

He said, “Afrobeats is Nigerian music. Our guys are top 10 and I feel like because of that the quality of music might stop dropping because more people want to get in. So the quality is really dropping.

“Back in the days, hit songs were serious music but now almost anybody is just coming in. Most of the hit songs in Nigeria now are not very good music. Back in the days it wasn’t like this. I feel like because we have been number one for so long, everybody is just dropping whatever they like and throwing money behind it.”
