Nigerians listen to rubbish and call it music? The 80s had better talented stars than now, u shld listen to dizzy k falola or fela kuti, then you'll knw wizkid and his crew sings rubbish, no wonder no indigeneous nigerian has won d grammy, except shade adu, bt she isn't based in naija, so it still leaves the gap blank

@ OP. It is "DANFO DRIVER" by "MAD MELON" & "MOUNTAIN BLACK" that was used as soundtrack in "phat girlz". I don't think "AFRICAN QUEEN" was used anywhere in the movie.

Flavour's "Ashawo Remix" was a continental hit in 2011. It also hit the airwaves in the carribbean big time.

The Op also forgot "Sweet Mother" by Nico Mbarga

Each of these songs were WAY bigger than Wiz Kid's Ojuelegba.
I totally concur with that flavour part .I ve watched a Caribbean remix of that song i could believe my eyes as i was completely wowed by it

This is the part I enjoyed in your write-up. Completely in a different class (with some others not mentioned here) from your top 5. No comparison whatsoever, IMHO. Pure & simple.

Re: Opinion : Top Five Nigerian Singles That Attained International Acclaim by wtfCode: 4:32am On Jul 30, 2015
those top 5 songs are the bomb.
The beats are just perfect like it was made in heaven.
Playing the instrumentals of those 5 songs is more interesting than the voiced version.
And i think p-square should be in the list

You must be a learner, how can Fela and Femi be in the same league as Psquare or Asa? If only u knew what music is all about, there's no basis for comparison. Fela is the greatest African musician of all time!

Tuface African Queen is a Nigerian classic, one of the best songs and musical videos ever produced.
I love Oliver Twist by Dbanj... .. .. The guy is a legend

Oliver twist beats are Don Jazzy's hand work.

If pSquare was not added because it is on a different league. What is 2face looking for on that list? That's an insult to him!
