Thanks to the internet (YouTube) Nigerian Music has gone beyond the boundaries of Nigeria and Africa. More people around the world are starting to get into Naija Music, Afro Beats as they now call it. ( I thought AfroBeats was Fela type music but I digress…)

So I did some research and here are the top 15 Nigerian Videos on YouTube. Based on the rankings P-Square are definitely the biggest act in Africa, they top the list and have 6 songs on the list.

If you don’t know what Square Ville is you are on a LONG ting! and your P-Square fan club membership should be revoked.

Monday night Senegalese American singer Akon flew into Lagos and paid recent signees to Konvict Africa, P-Square a visit at their Ikeja Mansion, aptly called Square Ville.

Looks like Akon and the Okoye boys have become very tight since the signing, with Akon even jumping on the Chop My Money remix and video. The video broke Youtube records making it the most viewed Nigerian video in a week with  over 550,000 views. Right now it has almost 2 million views  a month after it’s release.

On a totally unrelated sidenote…abeg wetin Akon dey wear? isn’t there meant to be a heatwave in Lagos?
