Music/RadioRe: What Are The 50 Greatest Naija Songs Of All Time? by Ashawobabe: 12:52pm On Sep 28, 2010
Difficult one to compile as our country is an amalgamation of tribes with bias towards a musician of their kin.
However some musicians did cross tribes and borders.
They include:
1) Fela
2) Sonny Okosun
3) Bongos Ikwe
4)Prince Nico Mbarga
5)Victor Uwaifo
6)Bobby Benson
7)Majek Fashek
coolMike Okri
9)Chris Okotie
10) D banj
11) Tu Face Idibia

The above is in no particular order, and are just the ones that come immediately to my mind.

The likes of (to mention a few) Sunny Ade, Osadebe, Dan maraya Jos, and 9ICE who in their own right are great and do good music, are too regional to merit true inter tribal crossover.

I say this as a Nigerian who has travelled and lived the length and breath of the country.
Sunny Ade is unknown in parts of Iboland while he is revered in Yoruba land.
Osadebe may be king in Iboland but in Bauchi state its more like " kai! Osadebe who?"

There is also a North south divide.
Most of the highlife greats like Cardinal Rex lawson, and Victor olaiya, while they would make the list in the south, are almost unknown north of the Niger benue river basin.

I don talk finish be that so make una lamblast me!
