Nigeria used music to change the narrative of being a sakawa or ‘419’ country

‘Odeshi’ hitmaker and fine arts painter from Ghana, Epixode has said that Nigeria have been able to change the narrative of being a 419 country.

Talking about the need for the creative arts space to receive more attention, Epixode said if not for music, Nigerian would’ve been known for sakawa or fraudulent activities.

“Nigeria have been able to change the narrative from being a 419 country to the best country in the world right now when music is mentioned,” he remarked.

He continued, “And five years ago when you type Nigeria on google what you’d get is sakawa or 419 but now it’s music”.

Epixode who spoke to Kastle FM’s Amansan Krakye in an interview said Nigeria used music to change the narrative and they are making the country proud.

“How did they do it they believed that music will change the narrative and that’s exactly what happened and now they’re making money from music and the country is proud,” he said.
