As Naija turns 50, I've been looking to create a top 50 mixtape, from 1960 until today. Whether it is Victor Olaiya's "Omo Pupa, Oh", Ebenezer Obey's "Board Members", King Sunny Ade's ANYTHING from KSA is good! LOL! Fela's "Lady", or "International Thief Thief", Shina Peters "Afro Juju", etc etc etc! Also: anything by Bonny M (they're not Nigerian, but deserve an honorable mention), anything by ABBA (they're not Nigerian, but deserve an honorable mention), etc etc etc!!! What are those great songs from yesteryear that should make the list of top 50? (Pardon the Yoruba bias in the list - my brothers and sisters from the East and the North: hook this list up with more flava! LOL!) |
