Alaba Rago after Orile towards FESTAC is a notorious place, how various government closed eyes to allowed it to degenate to that level. Anyways my path doesn't cross that area for now.

And Fela, the founder of Afrobeats, has no songs in here?

Where is Zombie? Beast of a Nation?

=====================

Don't you guys think its time to draw the line between African songs and Afrobeats? Most of these songs here are simply African songs? 2face and Psquare's style were mostly Reggae. PSquare was doing some Pop & RnB. Abdelkareem was pure rap.

Only Wizkid's Ojuelegba is pure and refined Afrobeats. Fela and Tony Allen were the pioneers of this genre. There's a special african drum that goes with it, some percussions and usually a slow-type of beat with this special trumpet sound, and usually with some Yoruba lyrics to boot. It should be said that afrobeats lyrics tend to be socially conscious or afro-lifting.

Another pure trendy and modern afrobeat song you would find is Wande Coal's "So mi so".

Other sensational pure afrobeats songs are

Teni - "Askamaya" (extremely melodious beatz. I think Dr. Dolor or Spellz. Unbelievable beatz)
L.A.X - "Sempe" (Afrobeats on fire! Somehow underrated)
Tiwa Savage ft Wizkid - "Ma lo" (One of the most unforgettable Afrobeats collabo)
Runtown - "Energy" (Great. Some elements of Afrobeats)
Tiwa Savage - "49-99" (Traditional afrobeats)
Tiwa Savage ft Naira Marley - "Ole" - (Pure afrobeats)
Simi ft Adekunle Gold - "No forget" (Excellent afrobeats)

Wizkid ft Kuti - "Jaye Jaye"
Wizkid - "Ojuelegba" (One of the grandest)
Simi - "Joromi" (Classic afrobeats)
Fireboy - "Jealous" (Modern afrobeats)

Honourable mentions:

Skibii - "Sensima" (Experimental afrobeats)
Burna boy - "Anybody" (The intro of the song alone na afrobeats "

Please list more if I forgot. Thanks guys

The rigging machinery of the most useless political party has spoken

YoungBlackRico:
Online, you're free to express yourself. In the real world, not so much...plus there's interest at play. You don't really have much to lose when you show open bigotry on the internet while hiding behind your keyboard.

Don't be deceived, the resentment from both side is real...the only difference is interest.

I would have said something to you but it's not even 5am yet so I'd let it slide.

Good morning

Quest7777:
Hope they are not counting dialects as languages.

We need a single National Language as obtainable in most European countries. Maybe WaZoBia will suffice.

Sex for forgiveness of sins.

SEX is KEY!!!

Exactly brother you are right it doesn't reflect at all. All the shiits they say and do hear on nairaland forum doesn't reflect at all!!! At hotel where i work all the Yorubas and Igbos laugh do things together, drink together share things together like brothers

Tjra:
You will surprised it's the same Igbos you roll with at work are the ones spilling tribal stuffs online.

It was always an healthy competition until the tribal Lord (Mr Lamba) ran for Presidency.

Peter Obi 2023 was a mistake that should never have happened to Nigerians.

The man really divided us.

hardbody:
No mind dem Yoruba people jare. We just sit down here and be going for each other's jugular. Meanwhile the second in command in one of my departments is Yoruba, the other is Igbo and I position them for promotion same time with no segregation. Even my driver is Yoruba but just enter Nairaland they make it look as if we are at war with each other

Primary school things

Brilliancepower:
God bless you. Igbos have been a blessing to me than even Yoruba tribe as a whole! And am Yoruba..

AdolfHitlerxXx:
You're right. My driver is ibo and he's Justiceleague1 here.

BlackViper:
Hahaha😂So MTN has now become a juggernaut in Nigeria's telecom service sector to the point where newer industry entrants like 9mobile are now paying them roaming services to use their infrastructure

No wonder 9mobile data tariffs are so expensive. They're obviously dumping the cost of paying for the roaming services on their customers/subcribers

I guess the hey days of telcos gradually developing and building up their own critical infrastructure is officially over now

With the way things are going now, I won't be surprised if GLO also has to start paying MTN roaming fees, which would be a huge embarrassment to the country.

Whobedatte:
Only in Nigeria govt dash out national honors with reckless abandon just to score cheap publicity
Micheal Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time , even the most decorated footballer of all time , Messi and none has been awarded national honors in their respective countries
How old are you? Go Argentina see honours the world cup winners got, Messi's own, I dont think any footballer will ever get it again..
SAUDI ARABIA, treated Ronaldo like God, bended their rules for him to stay wit GF not even wife yet and maaaany other benefits..do you remember the kind expensive and outrageous Neymar got for signing for Al Hilal? Use Google If you don't. I'm sure people like you would criticize the government if quarter of these is done to Messi or Ronaldo if they ever decides to play in a league in Nigeria (it is not possible 100 yrs to come though to play in Nigeria).
This is one thing I trust SA would do to keep improving their league
