If you have any questions about #Nigeria feel free to ask me.

My qualifications: I'm Nigerian - from the East, lived in the Middle Belt, the North, and in the West. I'm a Christian Igbo, grew up with Muslim Hausas, married to a Christian-Muslim Yoruba. I speak a bit of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba.

I don't expect you to know much about Nigeria, so I won't consider anything you ask to be stupid, ignorant or racist.

@badmuskent @davidnjoku Man I love music from Nigeria. Adekunle GOLD, Ckay, Omah Lay, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Aแนฃa, Ayra Starr and the entire Kuti family is among my favourites.

Do you have any further recommendations for me? (I love both modern afropop/afrobeats and more traditional sounds that often fall under the "world music" classification)

@Winterbay @davidnjoku Have you heard of Asake songs? He's really crazy with his stuff... You can make few research. He graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University here in Nigeria.

@badmuskent @davidnjoku I have actually. His 2022 album was really good. Just realised I hadn't listened to his album from this year yet so am rectifying that right now ๐Ÿ™‚

@Winterbay @davidnjoku you can get some of his songs on spotify

@badmuskent @davidnjoku Yeah, I mostly use Spotify which works relatively ok and is very convenient. I've been trying out AfroCharts as well for a service more focused on the African continent over all which definitely has some smaller artists that aren't on Spotify.
