Factfinder1:
Nobody to me....I give it to ASA who knows what good music really is and who can sign with live band without the use of studio filters and auto tune...the rest are noise makers....even 2face is claiming one legend dat I don't really understand
2face n asa are the best in live performance. 2baba is a legend. the only artiste with the world award..if ASA was in Nigeria, she for no survive am. shift

Davido is not a legend.
wizkid is not a legend. he has not gotten to that stage. in nigeria , time is the only factor to consider when people want to bestow legend status on you. but time is far from it. it has a lot more. p-square are legends! these are people that started when music was nothing. tiwa savage is not a legend. olamide is not a legend!

King sunny Ade
Victor Uwaifo
Onyeka onwenu

Re: Who Is Really A Legend In The Contemporary Nigerian Music Industry? by babino22: 1:22pm On Nov 11, 2017
I will give it to Asa because at least she knows what music is and she had made significant impact in the last 2 decades.
I will just sneak Tuface because he hasn't been singing real thought provoking songs in recent years.
The likes of dbanj, olumide, wizkid, David are no legend at all. Some of them don't even know musical notes. They just sing like that. And to crown it all, there songs really has no sensible meanings. You can't be singing about ass and boobs and tell me you are on your way becoming legend except if the meaning as changed.

Jokes apart,I thought I'm the only person that always get confused anytime 2Baba is being tagged as such. The dude didn't even do anything extraordinary to deserve it. I'd rather pick Don Jazzy and P square than him.
wetin psquare n Dbabj dn do

Being a legend is not determined by "how long". Some people are lucky enough to achieve within a year what others couldnt achieve in a lifetime. Wizkid has done far more than Psquare even though they are senior colleagues. I am not a fan of Wizkid but the truth is what it is.

Only person close to legend is 2face. The rest are just pace setters. They have not touched any lives or shifted worldwide borders with their music except noise and mediocrity and partial success. Unless u don't know who a legend is.

ObaFemy:
The legends are:

Fela Anikulapo Kuti, King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Oliver D'coque, Victor Uwaifo, Majek Fashek, Femi Kuti
, Onyeka Owenu.

...The rest are just pretenders, especially the hip hop cats and those new school guys claiming to be doing Afro Beats.
modelmike7:
These are the legend of the game, The Likes of Sunny Ade, Sunny Okposu, Ebenezer Obey,Fela anikulapo kuti, IK dairo ,Onyenka Onwenu ,Zaaki ,Orlando owoh, Victor Olaiya etc......
Nigerians have a problem of not comprehending questions or write-ups before we comment.

The question did not say list 'old school' Nigerian music legends, rather it says 'contemporary (modern)' Nigerian music legends.
There is big difference btw both. People like Onyeka onwendu, fela, sunny ade e.t.c are not contemporary Nigerian musicians.

guy, you really have a good taste for music. I respect tuface but he is no legend to me. My opinion though
Re: Who Is Really A Legend In The Contemporary Nigerian Music Industry? by billagreen(m): 1:53pm On Nov 11, 2017
When you talk legend in contemporary music on Nigeria, you talk tubaba you talk 9ice due to his indigenous way of moving our afro hip hop so who's is Davido or wizkrd... Bet you listen to better music

legend status in a year. you must be a joke. wizkid is not a legend!

As far as the contemporary Nigerian music industry is concerned, personally, I would mention only 2face, Dbanj, Psquare ,Davido , Olamide (yes) and Wizkid as Legends in the Industry.The rest are towing the path to achieve this great status and in few years’ time and with consistency, most of the remaining A list Nigerian artists will be considered Legends for their contribution to the music industry.
Hmmm, closest person is 2face, the rest are more 'icons' than legends

You seem to lack the knowledge of English language. What you quoted above was a figurative speech. Nowhere I meant such can be achieved in a year. Joke's on you.

Asa
Brymo
2face, 2face is somehow overrated. If u are close to him, tell him to stop copy and paste.

The rest are temporary entertainers
