Okija_juju: [b]Lets compare them fairly.. You must surely be a typical Yoruba tribal bigot for twisting the fact. I'm sure that most of the people here supporting Oliver Twist are Yoruba when it's clearly African Queen runs the show till today. I've been to many clubs both Afro-Caribbean here in the State and I haven't hear Oliver Twist played even once, while African Queen is still being played despite it has been more than 8 years the track was released. Oliver Twist might be popular in Europe, not quite sure, but African Queen is second to none across North America. |

deviduff: Dandruff, u nor get sense na understatement in ur case! I bet you're one of those big babies that sag and wear tight pants! Idiota! The fact that tuface even made it that far with his home made African Queen video and packaging with limited publicity from his then management is a testament to the acceptance of his song! When ur D'banj had no Kanye behind him, why wasn't he topping all these UK/Switzerland chart? I remember his 1st two albums were even better hit than what he has right now! |

The problem here is that it is easy to change the thread to a Yoruba versus Non Yoruba Dbanj versus DOn Jazzy Dbanj Vs Tuface. In simple terms, who do i like more Ans - 2Face But song internationally respected most. It is simply Oliver Twist Played During Olympics Played in South Africa Nations CUp Several Awards. Don't twist the arguement. African queen makes more sense and it is more interesting but Oliver Twist has more International Recognition. 1 Like |

all-out:So now he's topping uk and switzerland charts. The fact that kanye is behind him already shows the international aclaim. U are duller than I imagined.

donedy: My son... This is not a matter of bigoty. If I wanted to be a bigot, as an Igbo Boy.. #GuessWhoIwouldPick. I simply outlined everything as clearly as it is. Up there are facts and billborad spots that D'banjs song reached across Europe. You are obviously on the internet so use it to research my Post. Oliver Twist got more international acclaim than African Queen.. Sad as it may be. |

Reading throught this thread, I've come to τђΞ conclusion that most Nairalanders have α problem digesting simple English ιϞ clear terms.... ΤђΞ question posted is not which song between Oliver Twist απϑ African qween would be α song ƒoя ages/classic... ΤђΞ fvcking Question is "WHICH SONG IS MORE INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED !!!!" OLiver Twist broke all barriers with the pioneering of τђΞ youtube dance contest, which so many international act like Tyreese etall tapped into ƒoя τђΞ promotion of their singles..believe it or not, Oliver twist broke barriers in Naij Entertainment industry, African kween made α bazz but some other monster hit naij tracks have surpassed the bar raised by tuface-African kween, olu maintans Yahoozee,flavours Ashiawo ........ ... Am not α fan of Dbanj thou..#teamDonjazzy |

No much stories, giving it to oliver twist. The music traveled a long way than african queen. |

Mr.chippychappy: Points to Note; 1. Most of those awards are African in origin. 2. Secondly, most fo the awards Tuface won Internationally all came in 2010 and were for his Unstoppable album not Face2Face album which was released in 2004. This thread was specific to the 2 songs. INTERNATIONALLY ACCLIAMED is what was asked for between the two songs and not between the the 2 artists. Unfortunately.. Oliver Twist takes it. 1 Like |

Without African Queen,majority won't recognize 2face,but without Oliver Twist D'banj dey represent. I give it to African queen despite dat d song is old pass Oliver twist, its an ever green song. It has stand d test of time which I don't think Oliver twist can withstand. 2face is always address as African Queen crooner.... |

African queen is 100% better song dan oliver twist. But oliver twist is more popular internationally because of kanye west illuminati tins n d era of d song. Oliver twist has poor lyrics as with most dbang songs, but african queen is a song dat neva dies. |

deviduff: Irony is lost on you! SMH! Logic eludes you! What you lack in cognitive thought process (which is a lot apparently), you try to make up for with your spastic, childlish outburst! So Kanye being behind him indicates his Int'l appeal right? Lemmie give you a few hints and see if you can grab a life saver: * Africa is an emerging market rife with potential entertainment opportunities * A smart alec (Kanye) would cash in on an opportunity to have a foothold in the next big thing (Africa), it don't matter who the artiste is, provided the artiste has a bit of followership, he can always be upgraded with hype machine! PS: Do you even know the story of how ur beloved Internationally acclaimed D'banj met Kanye   Food for thought, amigo! |
