“Definitely the musicians. They’re criminals disguising as artists. 70k for a concert that they’ll show up late for and perform for 30 mins. At least the caterers will give you food to forget your sorrows”.

– Stephanie Chinwuba from Avon HMO

“It’s a tough call – If the caterers start cooking up beats instead of jollof rice, they might just give the musicians a run for their money. But until then, the musicians have it.”

“During Christmas, it’s a tight race, but I’d say the caterers take the cake (literally). While musicians bring the festive beats, caterers are the unsung heroes ensuring our stomachs have a merry time too! 🎤 🍽️

Because las las, na who don chop dey listen to music! How u wan understand the lyrics of the song if you never chop? 😂”

“Both industries see a boost in earnings during the festive season, no doubt. However, I’d lean towards musicians – the holiday gigs and events they attract could mean some serious cash flow! 🎶💸

#ChristmasProfits #MusiciansOnTop”

“It’s like Segun Johnson has not sang for you, shey! 😏 Well, considering the investment in each of these trades, I would say the musicians are the ballers. Think about it, you pay to hire a musician and they still get to be sprayed mint money 🤭. Are you sure I am in the right career like this!?🥲Anyways, respect to our caterers. The smoky jollofs are to kee for and I am certain the pay commiserates the efforts.”

“Is Burna Boy or Asake your mate? You can beat a caterer for coming late to your party, but you will be hyping musicians for coming late to a concert and they will still give you punishment by saying “put your hands up and wave it from side to side.”

“Musicians of course! Have you seen the ticket prices? How can Show Dem Camp move from 15k ticket to 60k ticket? They should better get their act right. So imagine what Wizkid’s ticket would be. Jokerssss.”

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

“Musicians because of the number of concerts they hold during the festive season. A lot of people want to unwind, and concerts are usually a go to ☺️”

– Keren Otiono from Africa Prudential

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

“For me caterers make the most money during Christmas because people eat more than they listen to music. Even musicians can’t do without food.”

– Nurudeen Odetayo from Heirs Insurance Group

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

“Musicians deffo earn more during the festive season compared to caterers. Musicians can perform at multiple shows in a day, spanning local and international venues, a musician can earn in one show what a caterer might earn for providing services for two-three events. Shey i no go do back up dancer for Burna boy like this?”

– Bamise Odusina from Heirs Insurance Group

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

“Lol 😂 This is quite a tough pick because if you must have an amazing party, then both must be engaged. Owambe without food or music for turn up is a meeting, please😒. But If I must go for one, it’s definitely the caterers because what is party without food? Penury oo!”

It’s a tough call, but I’d say caterers probably make more money during Christmas. 🎄🎅 🍽️

Musicians definitely have a busy time of year during the holidays, but their income can be more variable. They might get paid for gigs, but they also have to factor in expenses like travel, equipment, and marketing. 🎶🎸🎤

Caterers, on the other hand, usually have a more consistent stream of income during the holidays. They’re in high demand for both corporate and private events, and they can command higher prices for their services. 🍗🥂🍰

“I’d say musicians . Christmas and music have one thing in common. they’ve been around for a long time 🥳🎶 🎄 . The Christmas season has always been depicted by songs 🎹 🎵 , relaxation 😌 and entertainment 😃 and given the many lovers of good music as relates to the current booming music industry , a lot of musicians and artistes get a lot of gigs during this festive period to match with their expectant disciples/fans.”

“In my view, the caterer makes more money than musicians during this ‘Owambe season’ – ask my wallet, not me 😏. When you add ‘man must eat’ plus ‘owambe’ and you decide to throw in a lirru bit of ‘IJGB crew” (I just got back), the caterer will have their hands full you and I’s money this season.”

– Emmanuel Bassey from Africa Prudential

“Caterers!!!!!!!! Food is a must. Personally, the blisters on my palms from cutting cabbage and carrot was my way of knowing it is indeed Christmas.”

– Olivia Nwechi from Heirs Insurance Group

“Ah! I can’t say oo 😯. Musicians and caterers can both make a lot of money during the holiday season, but the amount varies depending on the event, location, & reputation🤷‍♀️. High-profile musicians can charge thousands for a performance, while caterers can charge hundreds per person for a meal. The exact amount each makes depends on the specific event and industry.”
