speeder: There's this African musician who's not the best but made best through the lyrics.
Oliver twist is a hit song, well, within the shores of Nigeria made popular by channel stations. I remember when oliver twist was aired, we listened to it just like one of those song made by Mo'hits. Two weeks later, it was heard it was no. 9 at... That was the begining of its reign. Well, its reign was short lived. Go to England, ask an average citizen of oliver tist by D'banj, he'll feel dumb.
P-square is great. Infact they have a great song, most time poor lyrics but damn cool. There's is also shortlived but the singers are recurrent. There's two of there songs which is not well appreciated by 9ja but guy, it rocks. Good lyrics, good cordination, i rank it second, "I Love You", "Forever".

But there is this guy, he has this song that never dies. About 9 yrs now yet it rocks even through the tommy of a pregnant lady and the baby dances to it's rythym. Very good lyrics, very good cordinates. As rranked by an org in US(Bizzbook) the most popular and most played African songs at weddings, "no one like you"(pquare), "African queen"(the bald guy). In ranking this three, Twist is nowhere near them. As MI said "He's not in the league, help me tell them."
Well, since psquare and d other is left out, make ur choice. Psquares songs are shortlived, sometimes poor Lyrics but very awesome. The bald guy fucking got the best lyrics, after 9 yrs of releasing, children sing as though they were in the video. Well, I've forgotten the bald guys name remind me.

That song made me realise that music really has a spirit.

Whenever I hear that song, even just reading about it makes me feel so special and proud to be an African and a woman.

never heard of this bizzbook, but african queen isnt the only song played at weddings.

they also play psquare's song too, whichever is his most popular song, dont know the name, maybe its the one you mentioned.
