A survey by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) has revealed that Nigerian music is very popular among Sierra Leoneans, especially those in Freetown, the country’s capital.
The survey was conducted on Sunday by NAN correspondent who was on election monitoring duty.
The correspondent reported that Nigerian music was played in taxis, radio and television stations.
One of the respondents told NAN that he found Nigerian music timeless and of high quality.
“In music, Nigerian artistz especially Davido, Wizkid and other famous artistes like Mr P and Rude Boy (former P Square) are perfect, they know how to sing and their beats are also good.”
“I appreciate them, their music is very classic, nice, perfect and good to listen to not only the beats but also the lyrics make sense. So I like Nigerian music.”
Another respondent also agreed that Nigerian music is dominating the sound scape in Sierra Leone.
“Nigeria music, (secular and gospel) is dominating Sierra Leone. In the parties, wedding ceremonies, everywhere it is Nigerian music; even in churches, Nigerian music is being played.”
