Nigerian reggae

Nigerian reggae is a style of raggae-fusion that evolved in the late 1960s,[1] and later became a major part of the music of Nigeria, especially after the rise of singer Majek Fashek.

[3] One of the notable musicians from this genre is Daniel Wilson[4] (AKA Mr. Ragamuffinwik) who introduced his brand of ragamuffin music to Nigeria.

Other musicians include Jerri Jheto,[6] Daddy Showkey, Ras Kimono, Rymzo, De king, the high school band of Victor Eshiet and Peggy Umanna, The Mandators, and the London-based MC Afrikan Simba.

[10] Reggae music has its roots in spirituality, social, economic and political empowerment, Afrocentrism, and anti-colonial critique.

[11] Victor Essiet and The Mandators' music also discussed political topics in songs such as "Inflation", "Dem Belly Full(But We Hungry)", "Things Fall Apart", and "Politicians I and II".

[14] Burna Boy's music also tackles the symptoms of Nigeria’s dysfunction such as the embezzlement by the political class and police brutality.
