I saw the recently released list by MTV Base Africa purporting to be an authority on the “greatest Nigerian songs of “ALL” times” and thought it was a highly embarrassing list on the part of MTV Base Africa to Nigerians and Nigeria’s music industry.
How do you compile a list, as a global media network, and not have Fela Kuti, at a minimum, or King Sunny Ade on that list? This is your expertise. Is this some joke? Talk about dropping the ball big time.
The list, to me, was just a listing of some of Nigeria’s latest contemporary artists and their hot singles, that’s it. Highly embarrassing and indeed I hope they issue an apology to the industry, its professionals, and Nigerians at large; and rethink their strategy when it comes researching and providing credible music content for Nigerians and other Africans.
