Wat do u mean.u concur wif d list because u don't know d art of singing.u're carried away wif all d 'worthless buzz' they(except african queen)got wen they wer released.i weep 4 our music.how can they flood their list wif dese songs dat lak substance?
PS:afta d guys dance ridiculously and girls shake their baksides,wat next?

So, you are implying that except for African Queen, other songs on the list got 'worthless buzz'.
Please, define 'worthless buzz'. Music that lack substance, seriously? What do you mean when you say this?
People will just be forming serious-minded annoyingly. Because a song is meant for the clubs, means it lacks substance. Bros i hail o.

Cardinal Rex Jim Lawson died 43 years ago but his songs still live. He was just 33 years. Jolly Papa, Bere Bote, Aye Muba, Gowon Special, Tamuno Bo Iboro Ma, Sawale, Love Mu Adure, Oweibo Nua, Yellow Sisi, etc are hits till date. I'm at presently listen to his "Gowon Special" which he did with his Rivers Men Band.

Those songs actually came out in the last decade, so how can they be songs of all time? Na WA oooo... Anyway sha, all the songs created waves of different forms during their time.

like seriously
Davido n Wizkid on that list


hell no...
wat happened to Tony Tetuilla's songs....
Style Plus' songs
Chinwe Ike's songs....


worst of it all Kcee's Benue...sorry---> Limpopo (wat the hell is it doing on de list )

Does it mean that ''aluta agboho, atufo agidi''. Where are all these our old school dem like:
1. Shina Peter (Afro juju)
2. Xty Essien Igbokwe (Shunrere)
3. Onyeka Onwenu (One love keep us together)
4. Sir Warrior (Nwanne abu enyi)
5. .......(Future leader)
6. Uwa wu paw paw, e.t.c

starlingbawa: First of all what's the age bracket of MTV's target audience? The youths 'obviously'? Explains why you have those songs there.

No wonder I'm not surprised at their choice of the above subject.

What happened to the evergreen songs of yester years? I'm sure the older Nigerian minds won't even look at MTV's choice(s) a second time.

Pathetic choices concluded without adequate research on Nigerian music, if you'd ask me...

How old is MTV Africa? Let's start from there. If you were expecting to see "suffering and similing - baba fela", onyeka owenu, sunny ade, majek fashek, shina peters - (afro juju - if you had a birthday in Lagos back then and they didn't play this song, you neva celebrate birthday. ibo, hausa, yoruba, all join) etc you are on a long thing. MTV Africa is for the indomie generation.

We the "ballers" know the best Nigerian songs of all time and they are not on that list. Ballers = anyone who was alive when the military used to flog and punish anyone crossing Lagos highways without using pedestrian bridges.

Since MTV entered Nigeria, majority of our youths were rendered useless. Especially, the level at which our girls promiscuity sky rocketed, it's mind boggling.

It's rare to watch any Nigeria music video without seeing half naked girls shaking their bum-bum, and some ghetto boyz claiming to be stupendously rich...All of them claiming to be mad.

Nigeria, rotten society!

But I think...daddy showkey danfo drivers styplus should make dat list...instead of dose wack lyrics dere.

Who tell you say na daddy show key sing 'danfo driver'?

I don't even know those songs. How can they be All Time bests of Naija?

There must be a parameter for determining this. Maybe evergreen songs

You don't know Sweet Mother?

You don't know Sawale (covered by Flavour as "Nwa Baby/Ashawo)? There are Ethiopian and Caribbean versions of this song. It's probably the most remixed Nigerian song ever. There's been a new version every decade since the 1950s.

You don't know "Hello Africa"? It got massive airplay in MTV in the early 1990s and won several awards.

Hello Africa

You don't know "Baby Jowo"? It's also one of the most covered songs in Nigeria (the latest version is the Victor Olaiya and 2Face version 2013).

U've heard Asa's new album haven't u?of course it won't reign half as much dorobuchi,shoki,sekem and d likes are.this is wat
mtv base will look at later on and name them 'greatest songs of all time'.hope u're now getting me bomboy.
but honestly comparing n analysing dem reveals dat all dese songs can't stand d test of time and dat dey lack depth and substance.it's just dat d Nigerian music audience just don't want 2 accept d fact.
Hope u'v learnt d shoki and sekem dance very well just so u'll showcase in d club,church etc.

I know the latest versions of the songs here, with the exception of Sweet Mother. But that still doesn't make them All Time bests. What parameters are your judgements based on?

I'll like to know what MTV Africa used too, because some of the songs they listed are trash.

Mancity26:
wht abt mr flavour-nwa baby?

It's not among the Top 5

shobam1410: 1. Olorioko by Infinity
2. Igwe by midmight crew
3. Arabaribiti by Chris Morgan
4. Testify by Elijah Oyelade
5. I know who I am by Sinach
and the rest

Na gospel songs you dey list ore.

[size=32pt]This list is crap! How da hell is Olufunmi and Call my Name by Styl Plus not there?....Heck! Olufunmi shud be no 1![/size]

The mere fact that practically all those songs were released within the past decade says it just cannot be. Is there excellence in any human endeavour in any country involving any peoples that can be as limiting as this. I don't know who is responsible and what criteria was used but this is rather belittling of the music industry and the country as a whole. Nigerian music just did not start in 2002.
