Eedris Abdulkareem seem to be dissatisfied with MTV's list of greatest naija songs of all time. For me o, I only feel Limpopo shouldn't come last, but on second thought it's MTV's list so no need for the haterocracy.

Somehow i will say he's right

my humble opinion

I dont gerrit, of all time as in all generations know the song. (eg Sweet mother, no woman no cry, murder she wrote, we are the world etc etc) cos out of all the listed songs, only African queen can be said to be of all time o. The rest are just for the season.

Eedris don't take it personal.
I think MTV judged based on the songs that made wave internationally. Let's not be local about this,lets be a little bit Urban. How is Jaga Jaga Video? Where else did it get air play outside Nigeria. A song of one insulting his country can't be one of the greats.
Fela's songs, Nico Mbaga's sweet mother etc. Are not there cos when they were released, MTV had no attention to African Songs

No woman no cry was done by Bob Marley, Murder she wrote by Chaka Demus and Pliers (both Jamaicans)

Indifferent:

I know, I was just mentioning them as examples of greatest songs. Songs that generations after generations will know and sing. To me African queen and dbanj oliver twist are the greatest songs in that list.
If you talk of hits ehen the rest can be mentioned.
I dont know how best to express ny thoughts sef.

MTV have always been known to air mostly trashy songs. That is why 95 percent of songs played on MTV are HIP-HOP or pop music. Hardly will you ever see any rock, country, Jazz, classical, indie, Reggae song on that nonsense MTV. They only play trashy songs to further brainswash the youths into indulging in more immoralities, most of the songs promoted are useless, senseless and tasteless!

No wonder trashy songs like Limpopo, Dami duro can make Nigeria's greatest song of all time yet great songs Olufunmi, Jagajaga, Mr President, Sweet Mother etc that had massive airplays back then were all relegated to the muds. Let MTV stick their phucking rating up thier azz

How the fvck did limpopo make that list
Even dami duro sef for christ sake

He's right, jaga jaga is a classic, that instrumental became the soundtrack of that era. Also olufunmi has to be there
