No Nigerian musician have been able to achieve internationally what Majek Fashek and Fela did, unless you're of course talking about new acts.

A friend staying in Australia once came home and I asked him what Nigerian artistes do get airplays over there, and he said Majek and Fela. That was in the early 2000's though.

I also have a track "Satan kingdom is fall" that was among top ten in US "reggae chart" last year. Verify for yourself, if you want.

True Sir u are a star

literatichick:
Flavour's "Ashawo Remix" was a continental hit in 2011. It also hit the airwaves in the carribbean big time.

The Op also forgot "Sweet Mother" by Nico Mbarga

Each of these songs were WAY bigger than Wiz Kid's Ojuelegba.

anonimi:


No! She does not.

Moreover, since when did singing a FEW words of yoruba in any song make the singer a Nigerian

bro4u:
Op you forgot to add Kukere(Iyanya), cos CEO dancers danced to it before switching to Oliver Twist(Dbanj)...I recently heard the wizkid's Ojuelegba remix done with Drake, Drake was off-point on the music...
***Modified***...
I was expecting to see Limpopo(Kcee), Akwa ibom(Mish).

Hysmady:
Nice list but still many more...What about Small Doctor Mosquito killer

RichDad1:
