i think for the majority, it's the dance hall kind of thing they like. But you know everything about Nigeria is so diverse.

Nigeria is diverse in Culture, Language, Ethinicity etc. Music is not exceptional, Many christians would go for gospel, other for dance hall, others for rap while others for r&b. For me any good one that I can understand the lyrics goes. But I prefer R&B, gOSPEL AND SOME HIPHOP

For me, it depends.
R & B at nights, when its raining or weather is cool and
Hip Hop on reverse condition.

the music preference of modern day nigerians is complicated and this is as a result of a variety of influences. the truth is nigerians love good music even though most of them do not realise this fact. and good music for nigerians is hot, banging music. since good music cuts acrosss genre, then in a sense, there can't really be a most loved genre of music in nigeria. for example, a person hears nice's gongo aso and feels it, hears asa's jailer and bops to it, hears one of fatai rolling dollar's latest efforts and feels it and relates with almost equal love to saucekid's yebariba or modenine's mixtape material not forgetting his love for wasiu, ayefele or osadebe and most likely will still have his r.kelly and coldplay cds.  Huh now you get it. such a person loves urban, soul, highlife, hip-hop, fuji/juju, r and b and rock. this is actually true in nearly all countries. thus the secret is this: most people love to listen to GOOD music in a variety of situations. good music equals hot, banging music irrespective of genre. if your music can't be described as the above then no one will listen to it , just ask eddy remedy. thus, despite a person,s claim to be a rap head, he/she will bop ty-bello's greenland any day over a wack [not good, not hot] rap song any day.
you's not sure of what constitutes a hot song; then let me be of some help with suggestions.
1. gongo-aso; nice. rating-blazing hot
2. fire on the mountain; asa. rating-blazing hot
3. fellow nigerians; mode-nine. rating-blazing hot
4. yahoozee; olu maintain. rating-blazing hot
5. picture me rolling; amaru shakur. rating-blazing hot
6. mobolowon; ski banj. rating-blazing hot
7. heaven i need a hug; r.kelly. rating-blazing hot
8. rock boys; j-hova. rating-blazing hot
9. i'm like a bird; nelly furtado. rating-blazing hot
10. triumph; wutang clan. rating-blazing hot
     i'd like to conclude that despite all that has been elucidated by yours truly, rap still remains a popular genre of music in the motherland. be cool y'all

Why didn't the poster include (FUJI) in his option? I sure that's what everybody would have choosen. Cos right now in the music industry fuji music is selling like hell. You can imagine what the likes of clubs,joints,motor packs e.t.c would become without fuji music.

To ans your question I like dance hall music and rap.

Gongo aso, kutupu ahu, anywhere I deh now
Gongo aso, kutupu ahu, any show I go now
Ajisebi Oyo Laari, Oyo o'shebi Baba eni kankan
I be double now, aiye nlo, e' o ri nkan


Verse 1
Gongo aso, you know am on fire no be beans talk
Gongo aso, you know eni foju ana woku ebora abolaso
This time no dulling
Everywhere weh i deh na party
Hennessy nlo, Moet nlo, Baccardi nlo
We no go stop, till the break of da dawn bebe nlo
Forget say you owe money
Call your pady them make una join body
Chikitos deh there them wan follow judi
Party jolly, jolly party,
Fidi gbodi, make u shark scordi
Make your eye dirty
From now till eternity


Repeat Chorus

Verse 2
You be government worker u collect salary
Kamari kin ma gbomi gbin, kin ma jaye ori
Before i play lotto no be me
You know am ghetto solder
Kaaki no be leather
Every friday for sandra's bar
Laroda ojo that kain weather
Life is too short you know
Nobody knows tomorrow
Dance away your sorrow
Do like no tommorrow
Money speaking, speaking
Any idea waiting, waiting
Tin baje demi, aiye gbo oorun mo
Gongo aso

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
Gongo aso, otiso, ewo ile ewo enu oko
Gongo aso, otiso, see people on the floor
Gongo aso, otiso, my personality no matter at all
Gongo aso, otiso, all i want is catch some fun
Gongo aso, tin ba nsile
Gongo aso, if i buy bentley
Gongo aso, kilode
Gongo aso, eje kin jaiye mi
Eje kin saye mi
Jaiye mi, saiye mi

the average naija hit single only has a lifespan of about 4 months, maybe 8 max. how can u use a current hit to define the type of music u like, eldee?
