GNBohr:
truth be told, most of these people are no musicians, cant play musical instruments, rely on keyboard, have no bands, mime to their own music at their own shows. songs are not inspirational, very odious. How many of these albums get any attention now. watch any local TV stations or listen to local FMs even Nigezie on HiTv and you will understand they are all dead songs. Nobody listens to them much longer, they are now part of history. Which party plays such music again.

They have all been pushed into oblivion by new non-inspirational and odious albums. An album can only be regarded as best of the decades when it is consistently being listened to and video shown regularly through out the years in the decade. None of them qualify. No wonder one of the music awards organised gave Obiwon the song of the decade award. Obiwon himself has not even spend five years on the Nigerian music scene.

For me the Sunny Nneji's album containing the track "Oruka" and Martins' "Olo mi" has been proving worthy of being regarded as Albums of the decade. No weekend pass by in Nigeria without people listening and dancing to those two albums.

Here we go again with the party track mentality.
Go to the real parties and see who plays there . . . ask anyone how much KSA charges for performances.
Or have you forgotten how Lagbaja entertained a live crowd at Motherland for years with songs of this album??
Femi's Shoki Shoki and Se Were still rock at the African shrine . . . that's what's true relevance.

It's about looking at your Itunes and knowing that you can pick an album in ten years and still enjoy it. . . that's what it's all about. Internatinal acclaim, local celebrity.

Oruka was a one-hit wonder, I've not seen the Tosin Martins album yet.
They're nowhere near contenders for Album of the Decade.

every real person knows that 2face,styl-plus and p-square had the most impact on the music scene across nigeria in the last 10 years.naeto c,ikechukwu and M.I. played their role in the hip-hop genre and should be acknowledged.

2face idibia face2face

p-square get squared

styl-plus olufunmi E.P.

those are the top 3

How can I add an album that had only four songs to the list??
That's unfair to KSA, Femi Kuti and even Wande Coal.

So it's okay by you for someone who only committed an offense worth 5 months to be repeatedly put in jail since 2007? is that okay by you? if they think he's going to run, why not put him on a house-arrest or is he going to run too? this is just not good, just for a driving offense and jumping a red light. sucks big time and it still shows that the English law is something the judiciary twist at their convenience.

We made the laws to govern ourselves. We don't want repeat offenders in our country, I don't want to lose my 6 year old niece to some idiot that has refused to take driving lessons.
Do as you wish in Nigeria, we don't do that here . . . people that disrespect a law made for our safety should be punished.
We can't let this set a bad precedence and have a million people thinking they can do the same thing and escape without jail term.

[center][size=16pt]Sir El Gee: We Will Merge with Galacticos FC[/size][/center]

Eldee FC have joined forces to support Mr Ibime Tamuno's proposal to force inter-club mergers in order to strenghten the NLFPL. After many months of backtalk about the relatively low standard of teams in the league, the football entity finally decided that the consolidation moves will work in the best interests of the FPL.

In a shocking press conference by the Legendary FPL Manager, Sir El Gee, he revealed that he had taken a closer look at the future of the NLFPL and decided to convey his fears to Mr Ibime Tamuno.

''We cannot continue to compete in a league where there is a 300 point difference between the mid-table and the relegation strugglers. It questions the level of competition in the league and is demeaning in its totality.'' Sir El Gee said. 'With a couple of mergers here and there, the bottom teams can merge in groups of five while we at the top can buy other teams. The sum of the already accumulated points will help to bost their standings.''

Plans for mergers have already started as he revealed that he has contacted the Management of other NLFPL teams about his interest.
'We will agree to merge with Galacticos FC and Mubz FC to help the competition for points much more interesting'

He also noted the fact that the bottom teams will benefit more from these improvements. 'If Borat FC, Mend FC and Hannibal FC merge, it might help to reduce the amount of small talk witnessed at NLFPLMA meetings.'

It is shocking that Sir El Gee will appreciate this move as he has being the epitome of managerial prowess in the recent years.

Once again - any attempt to merge this club with a group of players whose girlfriends utter statements like 'my name is Kemi innit?' and other such poor lingo is not only wrong, but insulting to the prestige and history of a great club like ours.

The men were convicted in December 2001 - but were freed on appeal two years later when the Court of Appeal found they were acting under duress.

Judge Herbert Dunn allowed his appeal against Jack Straw's decision, after hearing he had been imprisoned for 40 days by the Taliban and beaten over the head with a brick.

The man said he had acted for the mujaheddin and feared he would be hanged if he were sent back to Kabul. Judge Dunn said he should be given asylum in Britain as was convinced that he faced "a well founded fear of persecution".

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6360116/Immigrant-allowed-to-stay-because-of-pet-cat.html The aghanistan's men that hijacked a plane @ luton airport a couple of yrs ago were granted leave to remain in the UK while the Ghanian illegal immigrant that was diagnosed with cancer having worked for 5 yrs in d uk was deported, well she died 5months later in Ghana,

There r hundreds of preachers of hate roaming the streest with more than one wives, claiming all kinds of benefits, Y can't they send them back to their country of origin, y is there so much injustice in dis world,

The Bolivian is not white, neither did he commit any crime. . . he was allowed to stay because he was a non-criminal in a serious committed relationship.
The Afghan people are not white either . . . so tell me exactly where the race card comes in.

In no particular order,

1.] Faze 1st and 2nd Album
2.] Infinity's Olori Oko
3.] Femi Kuti's Bang Bang Bang
4.] Mode 9's Cry Album
5.] Tu Face Idibia's Grass 2 Grace
6.] Asa's Album
7.] 9ice Gongo Aso
8.] Dare Art Alade's Un-darey-ted
9.] Kel's Investment
10.] Sound Sultan's last album

I already did a full review on the album Shoki-Shoki, Femi Kuti's album that had [i]Beng beng ben[/i]g, but it was released in 1998 so that places it out of contention. Really good album though.

Music/Radio › Best Nigerian Albums Of The Decade by eldee(op): 6:35am On Dec 17, 2009

Feeling extremely patriotic today and decided to pay respect to the true anthems of this decade.
Forget the Bankys and Modenines, these are the albums that actually cut through age, class and ethnicity.

The blueprints left by these albums still shape what we listen to today, even in the least expected places.

They had songs that blended into party scenes and still hit number ones on Lagos Traffic Billboard Charts grin

These are the ones I could get off the top of my head, I'm open to corrections and I apologise for any major omissions.

We Before Me - Lagbaja:
Erm . . . this is some that needs no introduction, or does he?? This albm had a fusion of Jazz, Afrobeat and a bit of contemporary urban music. This album was as representing as the word goes and its international success was nothing short of phenomenal.
One of the few albums that managed to keep the party scene live and still hold music's role as a tool for political change in the newly post-military Nigeria.
It's a classic every true fan of good music should own.
With songs like Koko Below, Simple Yes or No, Suru Lere, Gra Gra and Nothing for You, We Before Me has shaped what we have come to know as Afro-pop.

Face 2 Face- Tuface Idibia
Push everything you've heard aside and pay homage to the Thriller of the Sound City era. Name every pop album you've heard from Nigeria, Grass 2 Grace outsold it. This was what people in Africa knew as Nigerian music for a couple of years.

Splitting from Plantashun Boyz gave 2face Idibia the opportunity to flex his imaginative mind with creative freedom. With OJB in charge of the beats, Kennis Music in charge of the sales, this was what Nigeria needed to step into the truly commercial era. A fresh face and the best team in the game as at that time, the only result possible was continent wide tours, marketing deals, over-the-top sales.

Like all other albms on this list, Face 2 Face came with a 'don't push the next button' instruction. From the intro to the end, it gave you a definition of not only Innocent's personal life, but also the state of thing in the country as at that period in time.
With songs like Nfana Ibaga, Ole, U no Holy Pass, Police as album songs, and the appeal of African Queen, Face 2 Face is as good as Afro-pop gets.

Asa - Asa
Just when everyone thought the only workable formula on the Nigerian music scene was the 'place four party tracks' method, Asa came and blows our minds away with one of the most personal but still politically concerned albums since Femi Kuti's Shoki Shoki.

Asa's self titled album gave you an insight into Nigeria from a concerned third-party view. With her unique vocal attributes and world-class producers, it generated a 'we really need this' sigh of relief from the lyrically inclined half of the Nigerian public. This album got international ratings that stood at par with Grammy winners.
Asa's message was simple and clear 'Vanity upon vanity all is vanity'. From the revolution battlecry, J[i]ailer to Fire on The Montain, and Bibanke, Asa[/i] was an album that helped to remind other Nigerian artistes what their true goal should be.

Seven Degrees North - King Sunny Ade
We all know how it works, your party's not getting any big names around if the Juju maestro King Sunny Ade's not present.
He came out of semi-retirement to remind the young ones why he's as popular internationally as he is in Nigeria. Prof KSA as he's called at the university where he lectures now has had his work studied in the world's top universities.

Seven Degrees North is it. How else do you convey deeply rooted African cultural elements to the rest of the world?? For the Non-nigerians, it is proof that music is a universal language. For the lucky few that can understand the beautiful language, it's a blend of African proverbial expressions and musical genius in one piece of art. The bata and gong gong meets the piano and the guitar, it's a marriage made Seven Degrees North. of the earth.

Suku Suku Bam Bam, Appreciation, Solution that's what you get when KSA decides to make music. International acclaims keep pouring in, that's why it's what you need at your party. Merciful God is the reason why the Juju legend still lives on.

Notable Mentions
Gongo Aso - 9ice
No Long Thing - Dbanj
Get Squared - PSquare
Fela: The Anthology - Fela Anikulapo Kuti

@Basildon
My only problem with your argument is that it's based on race.
If she were a white blonde of German ancestry claiming to be Brit, you wouldn't have any problem with that. . . would you??

Mekana:
Thanks 4 ya insight @Duduspace, i understand that our reasoning differs, but some ppl are too bigotry about their denial of their nigerian heritage.

I see where you're coming from, but you have to remember that people tend to emphasize specific parts of their identity when that part is been threatened.
I think it's more a resistance she has to put on against Nigerians that refuse to accept that she's British.

It's just the same way Arab teens began to emphasize their religious identity after 9/11.

Basildon1:
Dont be suprised if she has pictures of the BNP members all over her room,

You are hurting this pseudo 'british' irritant when you keep smashin nails of sense into her thick skull.She even calls herself English . Japanese kids in the UK that can count the number of times they have been to Japan will tell you straight without batting an eyelid that they are Japanese.

Meanwhile this clueless fellow who probably got a passport by virtue of being here for donkey years is still reeling with excitement at finally having a red passport and cant wait to come on NLand(a faceless forum) to show appreciation and allegiance to Britain.

Jeez, u really suck .Get a life and quit this "dont you dare talk bad about britain" crusade. If it stops you from sobbing your eyes out, we accept that u r british, english,anglo-saxon, yes?

Why are you guys so concerned about what country an individual decides to pledge his/her allegiance to??
You are more racist than Nick Griffin if you say she has to be white and blonde to be British.

Isn't National Identity about where you refer to as home??
Oh, so according to you guys Obama is not American?? All the MPs of Indian heritage aren't British??
You guys need to step into the present and stop being overly racist abeg.

Leave people's private lives and let's discuss the topic the thread was created for.
