In years gone by, these songs were the greatest hits and made household names the musicians who unleashed them. We may call them old school today but some few years ago, no party was complete without these songs. They made waves and brought fortune and fame to the musicians. Today, the younger ones have taken over with the fast pace hip hop music where most of the musicians sing more about drugs, women, popping champagne and sex. But you will agree with me that the old school music were packed with meaningful messages. Today, we go down memory lane to bring to you some of Nigeria’s best songs of all times.
