Singer Efya has dismissed comparisons between the Ghanaian and Nigerian music industries, asserting that Lagos, being bigger than Ghana, provides Nigeria with a numerical advantage in the music market.

Efya emphasized that rather than making comparisons, there should be collaboration between the two West African countries. The Ghanaian artiste highlighted the inherent differences in size and scale between Lagos and Ghana, indicating that Nigeria's larger market contributes to its music industry's prominence.

Speaking in a recent interview with City 105.1 FM, Lagos, Efya said, “Nigerian and Ghanaian music markets are not the same. Nigerians are way more than we are in terms of numbers. Numbers really matter now. The number of people that will stream Nigerian music in Nigeria is different from the number of people that will stream Ghanaian music in Ghana. The numbers are not the same.

“In the capacity of numbers, Lagos is bigger than Ghana. It is like the music hub itself. Nigerians are way bigger than we are. So, usually when I see people comparing, I’m like, ‘Do you guys know?’

“There shouldn’t be any comparisons. What I believe that we should do is be more collaborative. Find our vibes and put them together to advance what Afrobeats is going to be in the future; for us to be the gatekeepers of our own sound. And I think that’s the power move.”
