Where have you been aside aba
Stop arguing like a toddler here jawe

Must you descend so low? I won't come here to banter words with you cos you ain't even fit to be my shoe shiner.

Nigerians and their rubbish. How can you even compare.african queen kor mozambique elephant ni

Nigerians and their rubbish. How can you even compare.african queen kor mozambique elephant ni.oliver twist is miles ahead

I think it's unfair to compare both songs cos they were not released at the same time and they're not the same genre of music. When 2face released African thing, it was the hottest thing and was popular throughout the world especially in countries with a lot of Black/African people. It was even used for a Hollywood movie. It's also kind of timeless. Oliver Twist on the other hand was not as popular as African queen in Nigeria but was popular nonetheless. It was also popular in the UK and this was made possible by some Nigerians living there. There's a difference between UK(sorry LOndon) and europe. That it was a hit in the UK does not mean it was a hit in other European countries. Somehow somehow, i think i will give it to African Queen cos it lasted longer and i collected more awards.

Please tell me which international award oliver twist has claimed as compared to african queen. Of which the lyrics of oliver twist is not one to be proud of as compared to that of african queen.oliver twist is just not comparable to african queen. But then, both artiste represented naija wella.

You lack reasoning. I am arguing with you and you want to force me to align to your baseless side? You must be a fool.
Argue constructively and show me you've got some sense.

Who aя̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ the idiots asking who knows African #ueen I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̅ Europe? Do Ʊ know how much was paid ƒσя that song τ̅☺ be used as soundtrack? *frican Queen, best 9ja song ever. 2face, MI, Asa! The rest Ώ̶̲̣̣̥a̶̲̥̅̊ ƒσя road I the hear them.

mtv world music award 2012/2013

He won it as best African act which is an award for his culminated efforts and not just because of Oliver twist. Which awards did he win for Oliver twist specifically. African queen won numerous awards.

Personally I will say Oliver Twist cuz I was in Romania last September for my friends wedding believe it or not Oliver Twist was playing on Europa fm like every 20 minutes

I knew pple will apply sentiments to this to be candid Oliver Twist is popular than African queen even white pple dey play Oliver Twist white pple don't give a shit about Africans nt to talk of one African queen

to me the comparison is faulty, becuase the two songs are for different generations(if i may put it that way).
african queen during its time was a trailblazer, a pathfinder, a leader that paved the way for the likes of oliver twist to be celebrated now.
it was african queen hat brought mainstream support for the nigerian music industry. hell it was the very first song played on mtv base africa.
it mught not have won accolades like oliver twist but you should understand that there is a decade between the two songs.
i think african queen should be commended for leading the development of the music industry as we see it now.
well as for oliver twist, i want some more.....
the song as gone places...(just saw pitbull's version) and yes it was on the charts, so it is more internationally aclaimed . but do not compare it to a song that is ten years older than it.

african queen is the pioneer of modern nigerian music.
oliver twist is the result of ten years growth in the music industry.
so do not compare

african queen myt have put nigeria on the map no doubt .... but oliver twist beats african queen hands down when it comes to recognition... do u even know how many languages they have translated oliver twist to? same oliver twist won dbanj so many major awards too also used in a movie (eastenders) .... Do u know that "no time" by psquare is more popular in europe than african queen ever was? let alone oyinye by psqaure

I think it is not fair to the African Queen that was released about 9 to 10yrs ago to be comparing it at the moment to oliver Twist that was released just last year and is still the reigning track.Though personally i wiil take Oliver Twist but African Queen has stood the test of time being still fresh after 10yrs.Give both extra 6 t0 8yrs and come back and compare.

REALITY101: Personally I will say Oliver Twist cuz I was in Romania last September for my friends wedding believe it or not Oliver Twist was playing on Europa fm like every 20 minutes

Bro, wasn't it a (black man's) Nigerian wedding? Of course you will expect that Nigerian songs will be played in a wedding btw a black man and a white girl.
Let me tell you, I was in Spain in 2011 and attended a wedding btw two white peeps who live and associate with the black community. During the wedding, P'square songs were played; now does that mean P'Square is popular in Spain or Europe?

mich2012:

Which Europe? So cos a few peeps know the song in the UK, you have generalized it to Europe? Do you live in any EU country? Pls, no one knows D'banj and his "Twisted Oliver". Tuface's african queen can not be compared to any other naija song any day at least from popularity side of view.

African Queen was the bomb in its days sure, buh ur last statement is soo wrong..Apart from Monster hits realeased by Fela,KSA nd co,Femi's 'beng beng' is way ahead of AQueen

Afam4eva: He won it as best African act which is an award for his culminated efforts and not just because of Oliver twist. Which awards did he win for Oliver twist specifically. African queen won numerous awards.

okay gimme international award that african queen won (let start from mtv) upward .... and please dont gimme ghana music award or kora

jadakiss213: African Queen was the bomb in its days sure, buh ur last statement is soo wrong..Apart from Monster hits realeased by Fela,KSA nd co,Femi's 'beng beng' is way ahead of AQueen

Mr man 'beng beng' is only popular in Nigeria and maybe known by some Africans but it's not a global song like African Queen.

SO those awards are not awards okwa ya? Did D'banj win any of those? Do you know that Kora awards was the biggest award in Africa at the time?

ddeola: How can you compare African queen with Oliver Twist? African queen no be Oliver Twist mate at all anytime anyday,take it or leave it

Na it be say Oliver Twist na Learner were African Queen dey?

ifihearam: Whoever says its african queen needs his/her head examined. Pure bad belle.

Don't compare Dbanj to 2face,dem nor be mate for anything abeg,koko master don go,he leads for others to follow just like AY in the comedy industry.

Can you read @all..I doubt cos if you can you will know that we are not comparing artist but songs..u no dey hear am @all.

ifylord: Wat i knw be say weda African Queen or Oliver Twist. The two tracks are international recognize bt Oliver Twist is more recognize int'ly. Naija musik on d way. unbeatable. I gv it 2 DBANJ

I second you. The phrase here is "internationally" and I am not comparing artist. Let us be fair and sincere for God sakes, Oliver twist hit international wella and no naija track has achieve such feat. We don't need to start analyzing things here. I hope Dbanj could repeat such feat though might not be easy. This is a song that was heard massively and publicly in China, many countries in Europe, Korea and the rest as might think now.

You are my African Queen.... The Girl of my dream... You take me where have never been....(Continue till fade)

^ You took it outta my mouth. Isn't same song that was banned in Nigeria years back, correct me if I am wrong. No doubt it was popular but not as popular as Afrcan queen.

Barack Obama and Isa Yuguda who get sense pass?
