And you know there were bound to be Jamaican in the audience who would have been laughing their heads off!

Anyhoo, my favourite Naija video as Tiron said up there is the guys that sang Oloko Mbo or something like that. It was original. Very African and at the same time contemporary. Another one is Dbanj's "Why me" and Eldee's 'Champion'. There are a few more but i'll stick to those for now.

Peaches, I think maybe only those of us living in the UK can actually understand how it feels with regards to some of our Artists imitating Jamaicans. Anyway, your choice of music videos are excellent. Dbanj's is good.
