There is a lot of debate these days
about which Nigerian songs ranks
amongst the greatest of all time.
The new breeds of Nigerian
musicians, according to popular
opinion, are not as good as the
old ones. I tend to agree. One
thing I find missing in many of
today’s Nigerian music is the apparent lack of a
meaningful message. They sing more about drugs,
women, and sex. Most people generally concur that
Old school Nigeria music where packed with
meaningful messages.
