Before Yemi Alade, Teni, Simi, Tiwa Savage, Tope Alabi, Niniola or Cuppy

Nigeria had some amazing female artists.

Starting with the biggest Birthday song ever to come out of Nigeria by Evi-Edna Ogholi.

A thread

Christy Essien-Igbokwe is regarded as Nigeria's Lady of Songs. May she continue to RIP.

Seun Rere is an evergreen song.

She's the queen of reggae in Nigeria and no one's done it any better than Evi Edna Ogholi

You still hear this song at parties by Live bands till this day.

Omo Laso by Funmi Adams

This song is so popular I forgot it was sang by the Queen herself - Onyeka Onwenu

Third time the Queen of Reggae is appearing on this thread. Evi Edna Ogholi is a legend

Onyeka Onwenu gave us some great tunes in the 90s

Showing my age now, this song was like an anthem back in primary school.

Before there was Tope Alabi we had Funmi Aragbaye.

We blasted this song every Sunday morning while preparing for church

Another one for Sunday Morning by Funmi Aragbaye

You hardly hear songs by female artists for their mums, not sure why but here's a good one by Funmi Adams thanking Mama

This song by Dupe Olulana just gives me weekend vibes.

Before Weird MC had hits like Ijo Ya she released Allen Avenue in the 90s that confirmed her as the Queen of female MC in Nigeria.
