The year 2015 was a golden era in Nigerian music. Afrobeats was crossing borders, and artists were releasing genre-defining tracks that would shape the future of the sound we proudly export today.
Fast forward to 2025, and it’s hard to believe that some of those timeless bangers are now a whole decade old.
Let’s take a nostalgic walk down memory lane with 10 Nigerian hit songs that turn 10 in 2025 — tracks that owned the airwaves, lit up our parties, and stamped their place in our cultural memory.
1. Baba Nla (Final) – Wizkid
Released in 2015, Baba Nla (Final) by Wizkid is more than just a party anthem—it’s a confident declaration of the artist’s dominance in the Afrobeats scene. “Baba Nla,” which translates to “Big Daddy” or “Big Boss” in Yoruba, showcases Wizkid at a point in his career when he was steadily ascending the ranks of global music influence. This track marked a moment where he fully embraced his status as a cultural powerhouse.
2. Godwin – Korede Bello
This gospel-influenced pop song was an instant favorite. Produced by Don Jazzy, “Godwin” became an anthem of gratitude and success. It blurred the line between church songs and club bangers — and Nigerians loved it for exactly that.
3. Bobo – Olamide
With its catchy lyrics (“Olamide Baddo, Sneh!”), “Bobo” became a street-hop anthem and introduced the viral “Shakiti Bobo” dance. Olamide once again proved he had the pulse of the streets and the hearts of the fans.
4. Woju Remix – Kiss Daniel ft. Tiwa Savage & Davido
While the original “Woju” dropped in 2014, the 2015 remix elevated the song to new heights. With Tiwa and Davido on board, it ruled the charts and club playlists across Nigeria.
5. Reggae Blues – Harrysong ft. Olamide, Kcee, Iyanya & Orezi
This all-star collaboration dominated weddings and parties in 2015. From the “I’m in love with you, baby” line to the highlife rhythm, “Reggae Blues” was pure hit-making magic.
6. Collabo – P-Square ft. Don Jazzy
Two giants teamed up to give us this smooth, melodic jam. It showcased the signature blend of P-Square’s vocal harmony and Don Jazzy’s magic touch.
7. My Woman, My Everything – Patoranking ft. Wande Coal
A romantic dancehall anthem that had everyone singing along. It was Patoranking at his smoothest and Wande Coal at his soulful best.
8. Fans Mi – Davido ft. Meek Mill
Before international collaborations were common, Davido pulled a bold move by teaming up with American rapper Meek Mill. “Fans Mi” gave a glimpse into Afrobeats’ growing global ambition.
9. Duro – Tekno
One of Tekno’s breakout hits, “Duro” was a catchy love song that stormed the airwaves across Africa. It helped seal Tekno’s reputation as a hitmaker with an ear for melody.
10. Karishika – Falz ft. Phyno & Chigul
With clever wordplay, humour, and storytelling, Falz carved a unique lane for himself. “Karishika” was hilarious, spooky, and undeniably Nigerian in every way.
