How did these musicians changed Nigerian music forever? I haven't go over the complete list. I am sure Christy Igbokwe will be in your list. Maybe I can accept that title for her been that she could sing in different local languages. All the others are likely normal musicians. Do you know what it mean to change something forever? To do something for the first time that has never been done before and which will be a point of reference for others into the future. Go understand your grammar first.

If to say I no see Onyeka Onwenu for the list, I for woza you correct slap.

Murketeer:

You didn't Put Tilda ...that woman that sang "Sweet mother ...I nor go forget you"

In spite of the Nigerian music industry being historically male-dominated, these ground-breaking female musicians paved the way for more women to rule in music.
Here are some of Nigeria’s outstanding legendary women musicians !

SALAWA ABENI
Salawa Abeni, an Ijebu-born singer, began her career in Waka music when she released her debut album, ‘Late General Murtala Ramat Mohammed,’ in 1976 and sold over a million copies. She was crowned “Queen of Waka music,” by the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi in 1992.

Incomplete without Lijadu Sisters

Queen salawa Abeni , gentle lady mama .. waka queen

Always the south making Nigeria proud.

What does the north do?

You will never see Hausa and Fulani on the list because it is based on merit but it were to be government list, boom na them go be the most competent.

Bro, u got me laughing here. But u just said d whole truth na, that is d major problem Naija is facing and is killing d kountry badly

Nelly Uchendu's voice can literally raise the dead. She was phenomenal. No disrespect to others on the list.

Great list OP Christy Ibokwe

thesicilian:
Thought I would see Asa on the list.

You don't mean it. Do you?

Asa bawo.




@ op, nice one.

It is an insult to name Onyeka onwenu, Christy Igbokwe and evi edina alongside those mediocres except for perhaps, Nelly Uchendu.

Comfort Omoge

Chaiiii... Comfort Omoge, the inventor of "Classic Biripo cum Asiko". My dad cant do without listening to her music. Niggar must be an ikale man. "Olorun mi, iwo ni ma sin titi aye ooo, amin o"

they don't want the truth and that is why we were where we were today.

SegFault:
Fastforward to 2020, we have useless weeds like Naira Marley, zlatan and the sort, all because we chose to copy America's stupid and worthless pop culture.
