5. Y.B.N.L (Yahoo Boy No Laptop):
Y.B.N.L is one of the hottest and biggest record label in Nigeria at the moment. The fast rising label was founded by Olamide Adedeji popularly known as Olamide a.k.a Badoo. The Label is home to some of the fast rising act in Nigeria, with the likes of Lil-Kesh, Viktor, and the newly signed duo, Xino and Chinko Ekun. And not forgeting Olamide's newly born son, Maximilliano Batifeori Adedeji grin.
But one thing I discoverd is that the Label is lacking in management and Olamide needs to step up his game in evolving the label into a standardize one before the upcoming Labels take a toll like Lekki.grin

4. Square Records:
Founded by the duo of Peter and Paul Okoye, popularly known as P_square. The label was founded in 2005 prior to the release of their sophomore album, 'Get Squared'.
Mr May D was the only artiste formerly signed to the label, they parted ways due to some irreconcilable difference. And currently, there is no artiste sign to the label. But that doesn't take away the fact that it is one of the biggest label in Nigeria due to the successful carrer of the artistes cum owners of the Label.

I think the most promising is made men music. My God they are making men. Tekno has taken that label to heights only imaginable. Selebobo is phenomenal and Iyanya of course is a household name. Am not saying they are the best but they have so much promise.
Observation
Wizkid has left EME
Mavins lack talents apart from Tiwa and reekado.
Jesse jagz is back at chocolate city.
Lil kesh has left Ybnl.
Olamide really needs to work on his management. Cus Street style is not urban.
Somebody please sign kiss Daniel from G worldwide Cus that kid is a gem.
Thanks and good morning

If you didn't have any idea about how talented and very hardworking Nigerians are, this right here is proof.
At every corner you look, people are putting their creativity and talent to good use; helping themselves instead of staying idle.
One of such people is Ahmed Aliyu, who constructed a wooden convertible car using pieces of wood.
