Dear OP,all these people you mentioned are of Nigerian descent. I doubt if any of them grew up in Nigeria.

These people grew up in Nigeria and they took their music globally

1. Fela (Even University of Liverpool get Fela music for their curriculum)
2. Sinach (This woman won the song of the year in the Amen awards. The Amen award is the biggest gospel award in the world. "Way Maker is still the biggest Nigerian gospel song to go international).
3. Wiz Kid
4. Davido

Sinach!!!!
What an incredible woman!

I'm telling you. Sinach is bigger abroad than in Nigeria. That song "Way Maker" had phenomenal sales outside Africa.

I'm an engineer, pilot, medical doctor, architect and an astronaut. I got 20 Olympic gold medals, 10 Oscars, 7 Padma shree awards , 3 Noble prize award and 5 nominations. Next year I'm planning to buy moon. It all happened because of this , thank you so much admin

Nas dad a bishop? Please where did you hear this one? Nas dad has always been and still is a musician... He traveled the world in the 60s and 70s, that's when he adopted that name. He is Muslim, so he named his sons, Nasir and Jabari... He didn't name Nas after any neighbor's son.

If you knew all about it, why didn't you clear the air before? grin you made me spew nonsense. lipsrsealed

I was high on colored water while texting that info. Thanks shaaa

They neither shaped nor promoted it. The list should be;
1.Fela and Family
2.Wizkid
3-7 Add yours


Bro, you are correct.

That list from the OP, they are not Nigerians, we should stop fooling around.

The fact that you are born to Nigerian parents did not make you be a Nigerian.

Shade is an American.

The zoo has the home base musicians, singing in Nigerian English and dialects.

Actually, eager to see the likes of Wasiu Ayinde, Stephen Osita, Muhammed Adamu, etc., or is the OP a shame to mention the home base?
