it's only 2 face and wizkid that you can call Legends. wizkid sef is just lucky. only 2face deserves legendary status amongst our contemporary artists. no female comes close and Asa should have but she disappeared.

Authentic Nigerian music legends are Sunny Ade, Victor Uwaifo, Ebenezer Obey, Kris Okotie and for Music Producers we have Odion Iruoje, Lemmy Jackson, Kingsley Ogoro, Fortune Otega and yours sincerely Gary Austine of Ollie Gee Daddy Moh fame. Please bear in mind the historical requirement of being called a legend

You are an Idiot from hell, where is MI, Mode 9? In fact you are not a human being for including olamide and davido there.

Synord:

The Likes of Sunny Ade, Sunny Okposu, Ebenezer Obey,Fela anikulapo kuti, Ik dairo ,Onyenka Onwenu ,Zaaki ,Orlando owoh and others tick the boxes in most of the above listed requirements.


Which Zaaki are we talking about here , I hope it's not Zaaki adze , the torch light carrying musician ?

I wouldn't call Orlando Owoh a legend as well , the rest are good to go


And why isn't Majek Fashek on your list

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.

And amongst contemporary Nigerian musician only Tuface comes close to being labelled 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.
....
Wonderful..
A Davido, Olamide, Wizkid are legends....... and Asha, Darey are what actually?

This is like calling Hazard a legend beside Andre Pirlo.



Let these guys be, after their careers you can call them whatever you want to.

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
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.

Before u think I'm a wizkid fan (because thats what u all do), no I'm not. But Davido has really not done anything worthy of legendary status. He is popular, has worked with a good number of foreign artistes, etc, but he is not a legend. Its like placing jay z on a Michael Jackson pedestal.
