Nigerian Music Artistes Who Sing About the State of Nigeria by Manta(m): 11:28am On Dec 13, 2005
WHO SINGS ABOUT THE STATE OF THE NAIJA?

For those of you that are keen listeners to music from Nigerian artists, most of our musicians now sing about the present state of Nigeria, our country, the land of our birth.

Fela did it sometime back, the present generation is still doing it in a different style and pattern. I have observed fellow Nigerians love such songs and the artists more- this could be because such songs speak their mind; say some of the things affecting them which has been on their minds for long but cann't speak it.

These artists are so many but, these I can remember for now:
Eedris Abdulkareem in 'Nigeria jaga jaga'
Blackface in almost all the songs in his debut solo album(Ghetto child) some of the tracks like 'hardlife', 'e the pain me', 'show me the way' etc
African China in 'crisis', 'Mr. President', 'how long' etc.
Mode nine in '419 state of mind I & II'
Sixfootplus in 'Wahalife'
Marvelous Benji in 'Situation'
2Face, Wyclef, Soundsultan and Faze in 'Proud to be African'

These guys are so many, I just can remember these few for now so, incase you've heard any of such songs and it trips you, let us know about it, the artist and any other comment.

I think African China is a clown! but he gets his message across, even to Police! which could be quite a dangerous task in this our center for excellence!!
