A lot of people have twisted perception of biggest songs.
Mentioning last 15yrs and all.
I am 30 and to a very limited extent agree with OP's list.
If it didn't go international, we can't call it one of the biggest hits.
if you want to talk about songs that went international,none of this rubbish went international. songs that went international are many of Fela's songs like expensive shit,etc
nothing even limited,I totally disagree with this trashy list

Daddy showkey is a deltan, kcee is igbo, mad melon and co are not Yorubas, African china is igbo, sunny nneji is either igbo or Efik.

Please desist from quoting people if all that comes out of your post are tribalistic trash. smiley
Re: Ten Biggest Nigerian Songs Of All Time by shine12: 10:02am On Jul 12, 2017
Of all time!. it seems Op is a millennial.

There is no Daddy Showkey, No Oruka ti do wo na. No any Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey (The man, child and the horse...) nor Lagbaja.

All I can see is internet age music that got more popular due to the influence of social media. The only song on the list that can be argued not to be heavily influenced by the internet is African Queen.

Iyanya, of all time, seriously.

Re: Ten Biggest Nigerian Songs Of All Time by Nobody: 10:08am On Jul 12, 2017
Biggest songs of all time, and you conveniently left out Fela, seal, asa, Ebenezer obey, shade adu, remove "all time" this instant before I come for your head. Biggest songs in recent times will be apt, but leaving out asa and seal make your list a mediocre one.
Re: Ten Biggest Nigerian Songs Of All Time by itchie: 10:08am On Jul 12, 2017
The Op is on point. All those complaining should just shut up
