4. WETIN CONSIGN YOU/ WHO ASKED YOU?

This meme features 3 football players, in an obvious heated moment of argument.
This is especially reserved for the 'pokey nosies' and amebos, who are adept at minding other peoples' businessess, except theirs, like self stlyed journalist, Madam K. Olunloyo, who 'knows' all the metaphysical and spiritual reasons and details behind a number of topics, like Dagrin's death and Jide Kosoko's wives demise, and always proceeds to offer unworkable remedies.

5. I KNOW YOU'RE LYING, BUT CONTINUE

This meme features a young black boy, with interlocked fingers, sitting and watching an event, in an obviously disinterested manner. It is usually used against topics that don't seem to ring right with common sense, especially when a celebrity, (I didn't mention Don Jazzy, or Burna Boy, neither did I mention Kiss Daniel nor Iyanya) is celebrating a falsified birthday, or that post about a girl who claimed her boyfriend dumped her because she was a virgin, or even maybe when Mr. S. Egbegbe was vehemently stating that everything about his phone theft scandal was fabricated...

Lol, just reading through comments. Thanks to all for stopping by. For those who agree, fine. Those who don't, fine as well. Someone said I should have included Phyno, Ice Prince, Wizkid. Hmmm

Phyno, (Azubuike Nelson) is a very talented MUSICIAN, period.

Ice Prince is a lyrically dexterous rapper who has matured over the years, and proves his mettle when occasion calls for it. As of today, Panshak Zamani is the most lyrically gifted commercial rapper around, even though sometimes his topics may be considered superficial; 'swag', 'cash', 'chics'. And no less a master wordsmith than Sarkodie, confirms this in his 'Kanta' track, as he lists few other elite African MC's beside him.

Wizkid was definitely over-hype material, until the very introspective and deeply moving 'Ojuelegba'. The rest is history. Add a Grammy nomination. Do the math.

As for Dbanj winning awards more than anyone else, other than 2baba ... #exhales

You either have NO IDEA what politics goes on behind closed award doors ... Or the meaning of 'over-hyped'

I thank you though, for your comments anyway

EJa Nla, DbanJ!

5. Lil Kesh: Since the King badoo himself, aka Olamide, only barely manages to escape making this list, his young protege, Lil Kesh, roundly, soundly and amply fills in. His exit from YBNL, under curious circumstances, seem not to have done much to shave off his popularity in the streets. The young man may need a few more years in the industry to either solidify his hyped reputation, or watch it crumble in the face of stiffer, more original, competition.

4. Kcee: Honestly, this Five Star Music singer deserves some credit for longevity, from back to his days as one half of the KC Presh duo, to his solo career, and for his consistency since then. But that's about it really, because musically speaking, the 'okpekete' and 'Limpopo' master' hasn't really made any significant leaps in his sounds, still churning out basic, template beats with bland choruses. Kcee as an artist, appears to be more concerned with appealing to the visual more than the auditory, senses. And a testament to this fact is that his Instagram account has more figures than his actual record sales.

3. Tekno: With hit songs like, 'Duro', 'Wash', 'Pana' and 'Diana', it would seem almost illogical to include Augustine Miles Okechukwu in this list. But you'd probably be forgetting that this young man is first and foremost a music producer, who has so far been luckily smart enough to realize the kind of 'commercial beats' that generally just sets off the largely one dimensional pop music loving fans, and has cleverly exploited that to his over-hyped advantage. On careful analysis, his lyrics are nonsensical; a melodious enjambment of sweet nothings to 'Monica','Folake' or 'Diana', depending, on who he faces when he gets up from bed, and his stilted and over-rehearsed dance steps are really mediocre, at best. Luckily, good beats, again, his good looks, youth appeal and a 'drive around for my Porsche o' apparently does a lot of wonders for him ... and to a teeming population of teenage nubile inamoratas. Whatever works ...


2. Davido: That Davido made this list was inevitable. In fact, he misses number one spot on account of comparatively shorter years in the industry. Omo Baba Olowo is probably the most over hyped singing sensation in Africa, thanks to a very deep war chest provided by his billionaire father. It is not a secret that the HKN gang head honcho also relies heavily on the expertise of others, (like music producer, Shizi), for quality beats, (Clarence Peters, for quality video, and ghostwriters like Runtown for "Aye' and recently General Pype (for 'Gbagbe Oshi) to drop hits. However, one cannot entirely discredit the young stunner as a musical entertainer, because he has more than a passing understanding of music bars and meters, but a first rate performer as touted? Gbagbe Oshi! The hype really only serves to make his hype man more obese.


1. Dbanj: The Eja Nla of life himself, Dbanj is nothing if not pure and proper hype, through and through. A very basic singer, which he himself admitted to in his 2008 'entertainer' track, off the eponymous album. Don Jazzy receives huge credit for bringing the 'kokomaster' to the music loving public, and to limelight over the years, on account of his performing and stage abilities, hiding his shoddy lyrics and average singing voice with banging beats and melodious ad libs. Don Jazzy again receives the blame for the eventual exposure of the minimally talented singer, after the breakup of the music powerhouse, Mo'hits, leading to a complete diminishing streak on the charts after 'Olivia Twist', arguably his biggest hit. All of his later endorsements, with Ciroc Vodka and co, and one or two international recognition are at this point purely based on hype. Solidly based on past glory. Dbanj will have to completely overhaul himself creatively, maybe even brush up on his harmonica skills again, to even begin to attempt a reclamation of his much dampened musical credibility.

Lol! The comments are pretty interesting and hilarious too. I don't know about Mode 9 being a lazy jerk who does music for himself alone tho, I just think dude is pretty much disenchanted with the whole commercial thing to bother about competing. I believe Omawumi is under-rated, for the fact that she is vocally superior to the usual headliners like Tiwa or Yemi Alade, as far as singing is concerned, even on the same pedestal with some of the RnB divas, like Aretha and Whitney Houston. To an extent, yes, Timi Dakolo, even Bez. But they have carved and holed themselves up comfortably in their own niches, and done very well by it, it's hard to qualify them in like manner. Darey has done exceptionally well for himself, so no inclusion.

Mode 9

Top Five Most Under-rated Nigerian Music Artistes

5. Sauce Kid: His lyrical dexterity is effortlessly displayed through witty wordplay and rhythmic tongue twisters in his verses. His rap technique utilizes a lot of alliterative rhythms to underscore his ability as a lyricist of note. However, inconsistency, (2 albums, 'African American', 'Industreet' in six years) and a heavy leaning to a not too convincing 'Yankee' gangsta accent and affectations, has somewhat alienated him in the industry, and among the majority of Naija music lovers where he once had considerable swell and fan base, after his 'sanboribobo' breakout, almost a century ago!



4. Omawumi: Anyone who heard her cover of Adele's 'Hello', knows Omawumi undeniably has the vocal strength to sing Nigeria out of recession! The songbird has admirable vocal strength and range that is very richly explored when she puts it to admirable use hitting the notes singing ... or cussing out presenters who irk her in interviews! But it appears there would always remain that invisible glass ceiling for female entertainers who are not inclined to be overtly sexy and raunchy in their songs and appearances, to draw in lascivious fans in their numbers. A pity, that. But hey! at least we still got Tiwa Savage ...

3. Asa: The Hawk has been soaring high on the international music skyline, long after she abandoned her unappreciative Nigerian nest. Asa is part of a global movement of surging international artistes, with deeply original sounds that most definitely puts her in a league far away from the indigenous horde. But there is always something about Naija, that penchant for not recognizing and encouraging real talents.


2. Brymo: Brymo is strong dark coffee on a cold wispy morning. The "Good Morning' crooner leaves no one in doubt about his singing abilities, with a vocal texture that is at once velvety smooth, and passionately rugged. But problems with his erstwhile record label, Chocolate City, and a less romantic, more Afrocentric, even philosophical bent has seen him disappear from the daydreams of many enamored female fans. To him, according to a recent interview, 'the industry is flawed' probably in response to his dwindling appeal, which he denies almost in the same breath, speaking in third person perspective; 'I do not think that Brymo is not getting as much accolade as he should get. Brymo is getting exactly what Brymo should be getting now because if Brymo were to get more, then the award guys will not make money anymore.”

Ok, good luck reading between the lines.


1. Mode 9: The rapper's lyrical strength lies in his extensive knowledge, and use, of a veritable smorgasbord of words in the English vocabulary, including classical allusions (Spartan) and numerous movie references (419). The hip hop veteran is no doubt a master of rhymes, and his hardcore rap songs attest succinctly to the fact that he is a master wordsmith.
But his glaring drawback, is his lack of catchy hooks. No doubt, the reclusive Lord Modo can rap for days, but his chorus game is obstinately not in line with what obtains. And judging by his aloofness from the industry scene, cockily so too. He doesn't seem to mind much though, why should we? More grease ...

Comic Naija Rapper comfortably delivers some lethal shots at 'Wack MCs' in this punch lines packed combo of wordplay and wits, making it appear easy, and fun, dope bars, no doubt. No sweat!

The facilities are impressive, but the actual manpower, competent hands that is to say, to effectively man these hi-tech medical tools and technology, is another matter entirely.

Nonetheless, kudos, Obi-Jacko!
