In all honesty, I didnt think D'Banj would win this one, it WAS a tough pool and thinking now in retrospect, any of the musicians he was up against could have won this one. Nonetheless he does deserve to win, and kudos to Nigeria for producing such supexcellentia artists. D'Banj was a big hit in Swaziland and South Africa over the past festive season, with "Why me" being on frequent DJ playlists and even most downloaded ring tones.

I hope he will take a big hint and capitalize on his mega fame to keep releasing some goody goodies! Hmmm now I MUST wonder, what will come after Why me!!! Whats the next party song from D'Banj after he tests us and throws us on beds with hands on the walls. Can you wait? I cant!

:-D

And just for kicks : Lets keep watching the Why me vid :-)

Hehe, D'Banj was indeed a huge hit across the continent. I think he was even bigger in Nigeria, Nigerians were and are still infatuated with the 'koko' (from his Tongolo songs) and Why me followed that. Why me is very very catchy and I actually think D'Banj won best African artiste at the last Ghana Music Awards. And as for Why me ruling the ringtone market in South Africa, that says a lot for him.

I am eager to hear if D'Banj had more votes than everybody and if that is what tilted it in his favour. Rumour has it that HHP was leading him as the D-Day neared. Concerning the international appeal, D'Banj is not really a hip hop or RnB musician, he's considered more Afrobeat, his style is kinda unique.

Here's another video featuring the Kokomaster and Wande Coal off the Mo Hits (Don Jazzy) compilation album, Song is called 'Move your body'

I dont think he deserves to win, because this is not a great songer og even the singer behind it... this song does not present anything from Africa.. anyway the vote has been counted... and good luck....

the song does not present anything from Africa? That's a serious statement to make o, Mr/Mrs Anonymous. D'Banj's style is supposed to be Afrobeat/Fuji/etc and while it is not really Fela Kuti or King Sunny Ade or Sonny Okosun, it's not R. Kelly or Ray Charles or James Brown either.

Who do you think should have won by the way?

My home boy Dapo as made us proud he as done it again, and i think he really deserved the award and cos he is a Nigerian he would surely make us proud. Big ups to dbanj for the award.

Looks like i missed this one, will have to check out a few videos of the winner to see if i like his style.

I'm also curious to know who people think should have won this one

Sarah P, refer to http://museke.com/node/1495 on who people thought should have won

i'm very proud of the kokomaster d'banj for winning the award. and i'm proud to say that he deserves the award. keep it up the kokomaster.

hey. How can u say he doesnt deserve it? Koko master keep up the good work. Dont mind the haters. Theyre just jealous. You are the bomb. Have i heard of all there fake chameleon and so on? Who has not heard of dbanj? He is d bomb jare. The rest should bury their faces abeg!

Hehe, how can you call Chameleon fake? He's one of the best African musicians out there and has been doing his thing even before D'Banj. D'Banj is big too but he had a really good 2007 year.

I'm very proud another Nigerian has done us proud. Both "Tongolo" [de Koko] and "Why Me?" were big hits. I personally also like "Mobolowowon". With more exposure the world is starting to realize, recognize and appreciate that Nigeria has abundant raw musical [and other] talents waiting to be discovered.

These artistes are doing a good job as Nigeria's ambassadors and should be appreciated for their positive contributions in lifting Nigeria high. They are also paving the way for other Nigerian artistes, especially the youth, who can see them as examples to be emulated, rather than been idle, while their talents waste away, or remain undiscovered.

Kudos to these new generation artistes and the old skuul musicians who have also done Nigeria proud!!!
