Nigerian Girl

I was pleasantly surprised this weekend when I came across the track, “Nigerian Girl” by Seven featuring Jimmy Allen. While these are two entirely unknown artists to me, the song follows a familiar theme as it pays tribute to Nigerian Girls, much like 2Face’s more broadly encompassing African Queen.

Nigerian Girl
you came and you change my world
a life so brand new
Nigerian Girl
more precious than any pearls
I’m in love with you

The track is a catchy, well-produced mix of R&B and rhymes with a heavy yankee sound. This inflence is perhaps most clearly seen in the rapping. The accents and slang sound like much like someone who’s spent time on location rather than listening to a tape or movies and attempting to copy what they hear (see: eedris.)
While I like the music overall, the heavy yankee sound seems a little out of place for this particular topic and almost makes it seem as though it’s Non-Naijas singing about Nigerian Girls. I guess on a track titled, Nigerian Girls, I expected a little more Naija flavor, especially with a line like:

While there’s something about nigerian girls
that I can only describe with nigerian words…

Regardless, it’s a great effort and I’m very much looking forward to more material from these two - If you have their details, please pass them along.

    toritseju - thank you!

  5. Ak Says:

    By the way the lyrics of the chorus were praised, the writer has probably never heard the ORIGINAL SONG which is “LIBERIAN Girl” by Micheal Jackson!
    The attempt was just aight for a remix, but unlike 2face’s African queen, this one scores no points for originality.

  6. mo_like Says:

    Ak, you know… you got me. Now that you mention it… I’m suprised I didn’t pick up on “Liberian Girl!” I knew it sounded a little too familiar. I don’t own Liberian Girl nor have I heard it in over 15 years… thanks for pointing it out!

    That being the case, I agree with you.. zero points for originality.

    I am a single Canadian woman who spent a year in Nigeria. From all your comments here it seems many young men are looking for lovely young women for freindship or marriage. How do you find one? Here in my country young people have begun having singles only gatherings. These gatherings can take place at a church or a large home. The gathering is arranged by a responsible member of the church or community. Its not a drinking party, instead its a change to meet decent young people who are interested in a serious relationship. Everyone who comes must be single and bring along one single friend. Whiel at this gathering you can volunteer to sing, recite poetry or tell a humorous story. Everyone who volunteers gets a limited amount of time on stage so that we dont have to listen to the same person for a whole hour ! Its a relaxed atmosphere in which you can be yourself, meet new friends and maybe find the love of your life.
    Is this perhaps something you guys could adopt in your country ?

    I am a major distributor of video equipment and looking to move into movie production. I have 7 companies here in the US looking for me to travel to west Africa and shoot a minimum of 8 porn movies set outdoors and with housegirls as well as a new African Nude Contest and magazine and you being beautiful must know beautiful women. They’ve identified a large market and are willing to pay up to 150,000 per movie. They’re also looking for homemade African porn for a combined series. Do you have anyone interested in movies? If they send some I can present the models and fly over to complete both transactions as well as establish a partner there.

    email me also if you want video equipment to document life.
