ULSHERLAN: You can't compare African Queen to Oliver twist. How dare you. Anyways African Queen is more acclaimed internationally cos it kinda portrays a united Nigeria and Africa

First to comment and I swear you tried with your bid at derailing the thread. How on earth does either of African queen or Oliver twist portray a united Nigeria and Africa? Question is which is more acclaimed.

@op, its utter impossible to judge the international credibility of both songs as they were released at different times and era. Both songs exxposed the artistes to the international front and are big hits. Whatever comments herein will be largely from a fanview; lacking in objectivity and meaningful reason(s).

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 undecided Food for thought, amigo!


Obviously u were there when dbanj met kanye. Kudos. Btw,ur brain has slow processing speed. Did kanye also propel d likes of Le sensato to remix d song? As a musician I even personally prefer 2face. But as for d 2 songs,I don't let bias cloud my judgement. Not saying u do,u are simply a d1ckhead.

Unfortunately Oliver twist, even my oyinbo general manager whom we all consider to have bad taste in music has it on his i-tunes library.
However the better lyrically and musically is African Queen. And forever and ever, even if jay-z and kanye break head 2baba would always be better than that Dapo guy grin sorry dbanj grin grin

I see you're still carrying on with ur obtuse reasoning and half witted responses! Don't even lets go there with that your mumu - xxxxx remixed the song! Pound for pound, that song will falter against African Queen anyday, kapish?!

As per the meeting between ur Oliver Twist and Kanye, feel free to google it, Kanye gave him the run around for almost 3 weeks after their initial chanced meeting @ the airport!. . . so much for Int'l appeal!

You've no right to call urself human, you Homo-stupidos!

Some people and bad bella! I will give to to African Queen!!! For the reasons...

1. Compare the years, imagine the popularity of that song then when naija still dey grow, compared to now that our industry has grown.

2. It won MTV europe award, Oliver didn't

3. If u compare video u b mumu, like I said compare the time.

4. Dbanj already had fans around the europe esp UK even before the hit song. 2face was only know around the world after that first hit song.

5. African queen launched a new era of Naija music recognision around the world, thanks to Queen Latifah's movie dats a +, while Oliver continues from where it started.

6. African queen is an evergreen song, Oliver twist is only a contemporary dance song!

What else is your basis of comparism

Your father failed in his responsibilities bringing you up. . . thats a fact!

I made my opinion known about my stance on both artiste, obviously this was too tasking for your decrepit brain to come to terms with!

CHYKMAN: Undeniably, Oliver Twist beats African Queen hands down because of the difference in class and quality. Oliver Twist was SHOT ABROAD by an already POPULAR Nigerian Artiste, aided by an EUROPE-BASED outfit, headed by KANYE WEST.. Plus, the media strength now is much stronger than before.

bros forget the abroad and Kanye west shit. have you considered the difference in the time of release of the 2 songs. they have like 10 years in between them. guy African Queen all the way.

REALITY101: Btw who goes to the club to dance African queen? I ain't a fan of Nigeria music but trust me Oliver Twist made a wave in most of the clubs I've been to in the US and Europe.

10 years ago, ppl here weren't interested in clubbing. and who plays rnb in clubs. bros that's not a point.

Which Europe? So cos a few peeps know the song in the UK, you have generalized it to Europe? Do you live in any EU country? Pls, no one knows D'banj and his "Twisted Oliver". Tuface's african queen can not be compared to any other naija song any day at least from popularity side of view.
help me ask dos kids who just type trash on nairaland..oliver twist is just been over rated by Dbanj' fan on nairaland..African queen is 100% beta n no song done by a naija artist av beaten it n it wu remain ontop cos evrybdy is busy makin dance hall songs...watch Monaco grammy award show,u wu knw d level of African queen..

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.




I c d reason y most ppl fail exams, this not not a tribal affair, am a proper igbo boy 4m anambra and ma question is which is mor internationally acclaimed question not which wil bcom evergreen or which brot nigeria out in d limelyt. Its an easy question dat most ppl r failing. African queen dint bring out oliver twist. They came out both on dia own. nw which is mor internationally acclaimed pls. Infact let me mk it easier, which is mor recognised or popular in europe if they r both placed on d ground. Its an easy question, nd som ppl hv tried correctin som oda but they wunt just learn. Again no sentiments

Wow i missed this thread coz of chazin cheddars. Even Tubaba knows Dbanj's Oliver twist is outta this world. I heard oliver twist at Dubai's mall and during ma last trip to Turkey and found out the locals loved the songs a lot. Don't know if Dbanj has gone to those places for shows. The oliver twist song has set a standard which Dbanj himself may not meet again.
