Nigerians are not lover of reggae music from onset... That's why we have very few Artist doing reggae in Nigeria.

Back in the days, there was misconceptions about reggae music, average Nigerians believed you must be a weed smoker to like reggae

Nigerians loved reggae in the 70s and 80s... ,reggae and brake dance was so popular then due to the influence of Robert N. Marley and M. Jackson.

Infact reggae musicians totally ruled Nigerian music space in the 80s.. Evi Edna, Mandators,Raskimono,Oritz wiliki,Majek Fashek, Sunny okosuns,Isaac Black etc etc Nigeria had a huge reggae and pop crowd then..

Why are you asking us? Why don't you go to Bob Marley's grave and ask him why he did not come to Nigeria? Perhaps you should also ask Bob Marley why he didn't make it to the Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Togo, Ghana, Cameroon, Tanzania, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Malawi, Niger, Sudan, Rwanda and many other African countries. Some of you just wake up and create threads that make no sense. Go find work do!

My brother na wao.

I was wondering if I was the only one thinking like you.

Africa has 54 countries. I don't know what the OP is thinking. Bob Marley passed at 32 yrs or so. A very young man.

Why should he have visited Nigeria specifically?

Rare Photo of Bob Marley When He Stepped Foot in Kenya

A fervent and unapologetic Pan-Africanist, Bob Marley strongly believed in the unity of African people and his beliefs on Pan-Africanism were rooted in his Rastafari religious beliefs.

“Black people are suffering all over the earth and when you check it you know that black people must unite”. Bob Marley was quoted saying in BBC article, Marley’s legend.

In 1978, he visited Kenya and Ethiopia but it was in Gabon where his love for Africa manifested itself physically.

In January 1980, at the age of 34, Bob visited Gabon and later the same year he flew to Zimbabwe where he not only played at independence celebrations of Zimbabwe from British colonial and white minority rule but also specially composed a song for Zimbabwe’s freedom.

Bob Marley would have been 75 years old today. Here is a rare photo of him in Kenya , he stopped by en-route to performing at Zimbabwe's independence celebrations.

Bob Marleys son. Darmian Marley has also visited and performed in Kenya while President Uhuru Kenya also visited Jamaica in 2019 and attended their independence celebrations. The head of state had the privilage of meeting Bob Marley's widow Rita Marley.

Why are you asking us? Why not ask Marley himself? Nansense

All the countries he visisted are countries that DO NOT carry Christianity and Islam for head like gala.

At least.... There is Nigerian version of Bob... That is very RISKY

The girl he wanted to stay with, travel then so he canceled his trip.

Majek Fashek, Raski Mono, Lucky Dube, Daniel Wilson All visited Nigeria.

Op don't know history. Go school una no go agree go.

Illiteracy is a disease.

Nigeria caters to whites not the Black Diaspora like Ghana and other African countries does.

Jimmy Cliff was very popular in Nigeria in the 70s and he came to visit at some point.
Unfortunately he was thrown in jail following a disagreement with his promoter
