At her prime, Onyeka Owenu would top that list. She is in the past now. How many people talk about her now? The fact that your local rappers are not on that list doesn't mean the list isn't credible. To some people, Shekau has influenced them and a mentor too while we know he is a beast. The same way I feel your local rappers are not as influential as Banky. It is choice, your choice might not be my choice.

achievements don't necessarily make you influential. some of the people on the list are washed up. so Onyeka Owenu is not more influential than some of these cats?

Dbanj is the Only Nigerian Artist on Billboard.
Do you know, What is Billboard?


Dbanj has been rubbing shoulders with the powers that be both locally and globally, yet some myopic buffoons think he's not influential. He's very popular across the globe too, and one time I was in a back-side South American country, my wealthy white Latino neighbor was dancing in the field to Oliver Twist, literally blasting the music through the expanse of his 2 acre mansion. I was really surprised because up till that point, I didn't know Dbanj's music had gone that far, thought it was just in the UK and America he had audience and mainly amongst blacks with African ties. I'm not a fan of his style of music, and really don't like his songs, except maybe 'Top of the World', but Dbanj really has it made and he is a bona-fide superstar musician.

The only way Wizkid and Davido influences me is that they make me believe I can make money at my young age. Tiwa Savage can't sing and that is final. D'banj can't sing too and he's no1? If D'banj must make the list then, you have to extend it to 40 and place him at the bottom. 2face is overrated, same with Banky W. Asa should be no1 cos she's the best. Flavour should be placed higher on the list cos the guy can sing.

Re: Ten Most Influential Singers In Nigeria 2015 - T.I.N by Ihuomadinihu: 2:16pm On Jun 20, 2015
In terms of influence,i would pick Phyno,Davido,Flavour, Patoranking,Chidinma,Tiwa Savage,Asa,Tuface,Olamide,Psquare, Wizkid. The rest of them don't make sense as far as Influence is concerned.
We are talking about INFLUENCE- people that are able to influence or have influenced Nigerians in terms of Swag, Unique Packaging/Brand, Charisma, Style, Street Jargons, Personality and are able to quickly reach out to others. Don Jazzy is not a full time singer but more influential than most people on that biased list. He has attained what they call Cult status in the Western world.

DBanj and Lagbaja were also very influential at their peak but this is 2015.
Timaya,Inyanya and Duncan Mighty are honourable mentions.

Don't get it twisted. We all know Oliver Twist was an international hit but that's the end of it. Those songs you just play them without caring who the performer is. Just like Gagnam Style some years back but one international hit does not make a bona-fide superstar musician. Ask Psy.

when illiterates call others illiterates.

The key word in that topic are IN Nigeria. D'banj is hardly relevant in Nigeria currently talk less influential.

Can D'banj pull a crowd? Has he featured on any hit song of late? If na by that one sef nna Davido suppose carry number 1. One mumu go just wake up make list one day and fellow mumus go collect am. Any eediot can make a list.

Anyway, you're a D'banj fan boy so you lack reason where it involves him
Hey ugly woman,this is not about Hit song,dont be a dumbo, u are getting older. They are talking about influence here,even world bank president know it is Dbanj.

This is what we are saying, Read this:

On 23 June 2012, D'banj performed at the Hackney
Weekend to celebrate the 2012 Summer Olympics, which
was headlined by Jay-Z and Rihanna. He performed
alongside his friend, and fellow Universal Music Group
label mate, Rita Ora on 30 August 2012 at the SCALA
London Live Music, Clubs and Arts Venue to celebrate the
release of her debut album Ora. He also performed at the
AFCON 2013 closing ceremony held in South Africa.On 18
April 2015 ,D'banj perfromed at the Global citizen earth
day a Free Concert on Capitol Hill (Washington
Monument Grounds) for the 45th Anniversary of Earth
Day put on by Global Poverty Project and the Earth Day
Network.
With D'banj's first album came his first endorsement from
an energy drink called Power Fist.In May 2013, D'banj
was named the Bank of Industry (BOI) ambassador. In
November 2013, D'banj re-signed a multi-million Naira
deal with Globacom, the company he parted ways with in
2010. In October 2014, D'banj was named the official
African ambassador for Beats by Dre. In February 2015,
D'banj was named the official African ambassador for
Ciroc Nigeria.
D'banj is the founder of Koko Foundation for Youth and
Peace Development. He is also Nigeria's first United
Nations Youth Ambassador for Peace. Dbanj is a ONE
campaign ambassador; he released the song "Cocoa Na
Chocolate" in support of agriculture investments.'Cocoa
Na Chocolate' featured 18 other African artists and won
Best African Collaboration at the All Africa Music Awards
in 2014.
In 2015, he was applauded by World Bank Chief, Jim
Yong Kim for using his music power and high celebrity
status to bringing attention to serious and critical issues
in Africa with special focus on agriculture and poverty
alleviation.
D'BANJ can be said to be the most recognized Nigerian
and African Artist all over the world. He's got quite some
relationship with big international artists majorly
American artists and others.
He's been looked up to by many young lads in music
industry.



NB: This is what we are talking about here not hit song or number of collaborations. Dbanj is the most influential musician in Nigeria. Moreso,the list was formed by a magazine nt the OP,so u ppl should leave d op out of this.
