when I say timeless, I mean a video that will still be remembered decades or more from now. Examples:
P-sqaure- no one like you has reached more then 7 million views, that the video has its own image no body will forget and that song has been out how many years now and has beaten their recent music as well that is timeless
Usuofia-I go chop your dollar video is a 419 theme song, it has been mentioned even by ABC news in a 419 documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0e-pPfITts. The video made the song actually into its full potential, and since 419 will for the time being will always be a problem in Nigeria for many decades to come, the song and video is timeless.
Lagbaja- Skentele skontolo, konko below, sobolation and etc are timeless videos. as you said skentele is timeless and you know why but konko below video came out way before his skentele music video, D'banj and many singers were out, and is still talked about and popular, nobody can repeat some of the scenes and jokes he said about how the Oyibo were dancing. Never far away video was a authentic video because it had a storyline that was so simple but good, Sobolation will be remembered over D'banj's Mr. Endowed video(a video that has no class and seems to be no different from african american videos I have seen) many years later, and when it comes from Lagbaja well, nobody can beat him as a artist because his music and videos are always unique, authentic and just different(videos like that always stay timeless). these videos are still talked about, the video never far away was featured many years later in the nollywood movie high blood pressure(starring lillian bach)
2Face- That video is timeless because the song it's attached to is timeless, its been out forever(way before D'banj and P-sqaures hit song music videos), many people love the video because it shows authentic african queens to a timeless african queen song. Plus after all that no video or song from 2face after that ever matched the success of african queens song and video, that's timeless to me.
Baba jowo from OGD allstars- the video is so simple but intimate and fun, and with that song it's wonderful but the video help liven the song actually. That video will still be watched many years from now without complaint, especially since people will remember the music video where the people who sang the song are from nollywood English and Yoruba actors/actresses collaborating together( I haven't seen any other collaboration between the Yoruba and English nollywood world like that before)
Jesse king-  MUmmy, I have heard this song sung in many Nigerian parties(specifically Yoruba) for many  years in weddings and parties giving tribute to mothers, and the video help boast the song to its success, its a video that's timeless because the video's theme was well made and talks about a person that will always be timeless=MOTHERS
Ayo- life is real, Ayo is a international star but morely in Europe though not America, nonetheless not only is that song beautiful her video was excellent but simple because it showed Authentic images of Lagos, that was beautiful done and will always be remembered. that video helped bring out what she was saying in her song and is still lasting and consider one of her number one songs and music videos. To tell you the truth, I remember the video more then the song because the video was so unique, so that's a timeless video.
D'banj suddenly & wande Coal's you bad- these men are bringing out good songs currently but these video's are the most authentic from them, good quality, and video's people will still watch over some of their other songs. If you noticed I didn't put bumper to bumper video when the song is much more better then you bad but the you bad video was more authentic because it was nicely done in a beach house by the beach in Nigeria, it showed the beauty of Nigeria, that video helped the song in my opinion and will be the video that people remember from wande coal many years from now whether he still singing or not(unless he brings out something better); D'banj's suddenly is a video that will always be remembered with D'banj many years to come, the song was good but that video helped the song, and another thing that makes it good was for the fact that I have heard many say this about this video that the females all featured in the video were all Black women, they were Nigerian and beautiful. Many of the people who have made a point about this were not Nigerian but black diasporians because they are used to the reverse in the western world(now I know 99% of Nigerian videos out now, all the women shown are black african/Nigerian women but this video is one of the best that high-lighted it, especially hip-hop Nigerian video).
Bracket- remember(yori yori remix)- the video was to a remix of a popular song yori yori, a song people won't forget but the problem is this video will be remembered over the video of the original song yori yori, many years to come.

I can go on and on but you get what I am saying, now when it comes to the video's you mentioned well the songs are good but Eldee" one day" video wasn't as memorable but the message was strong(Ota mi, seems like the video so far people will remember many years from now), MI's-safe video was good but it seemed similar to some other video's that will it stand out from the crown but I do see sound of Sultants- "2010" video being timeless

now as I said this is just my opinion, if you feel they aren't timeless then that's ok but based on the history of these music videos and what i hear they will be talked about many decades from now

@ Basics007
