looks, dance steps and tell a story of their songs. In the
Nigerian music landscape, it has grown beyond that into a
medium for display of gangsterism, sex and violence. Our
videos have become bad deal for our impressionable youths
who tend to copy most of what they see on TV and the
internet. And the Nigerian cinematographers are pushing
the limits and becoming more expressive in their shots.
These days, caution has been thrown into the wind and
their new form of entertainment is display of boobs, butt or
bust cleavage, naked laps and other subtle erotic parts of
the body. Studies have shown a connection between music
videos and violent behavior of adolescents.The study also
shows a relationship between the imagery displayed in
videos and inappropriate sexual behaviours. In no particular
order, we chronicle 10 Nigerian music videos that will send
shock waves down your spine.
Reminisce –Skilashi 2015
Just like his previous sensual video, Tesojue, Reminisce
continues to push the limits as far as releasing shocking
videos is concerned.The Alaga Ibile crooner makes use of
vulgar lyrics and obscene images in this video.The visuals
are filled with different scenes where the video vixens can
be seen dancing provocatively and occasionally revealing
their bums.
In other words, this video falls into the category of a soft
porn. Lately, Reminisce has been releasing sexually
charged videos without thinking of the harmful effects it will
have on the younger generation. The video is directed by
Frizzle and Bizzle Films.
Olamide –Falila Ketan 2015
What
message can be passed in a music video where bums are
being shaken in most of the scenes? This is the question
that comes to mind when you watch Olamide’s Falila Ketan.
All you can see in the video is skimpily dressed ladies
twerking their God-given bums. It’s not the kind of video
you want to watch in the presence of your children, if you
don’t want to answer inquisitive questions.The video is
directed by Unlimited L.A.
Niyola-Love to love you – 2014
Before the video of this song was released, the beautiful
RnB singer, Niyola, posted a picture from the video shoot
with her upper body laid bare, covering her breasts with her
arms.
This generated various negative comments on the social
media. Love to love you is a love song with sexual
connotations, provocative dance steps and erotic steamy
scenes.
The video was shot in New York and shows how Niyola
loves to show love to her man. The video is directed by
Kemi Adetiba.
Wizkid- Expensive Shit– 2015
Though this song has an amazing Afrobeat feel, it still goes
on to unveil some shocking raunchy scenes and suggestive
dance styles. The visuals were shot in South Africa and
capture Wizkid in the midst of skimpily dressed video
vixens.Towards the end of the video,Wizkid cuddles one of
the video vixens, puts her in a compromising provocative
posture, as though he is ready to take her to the ‘Next
level’. The video is directed by Sesan.
Seyi Shay-Crazy 2014
Seyi Shay’s vocal dexterity is in no doubt, but same cannot
be said of this music video which has many question marks
over it. The visuals have various sexual scenes blended
with provocative dance steps. In a particular scene, Wizkid
is spotted in a romantic position with Seyi Shay.
This short scene has Seyi Shay seizing Wizzy’s crotch. In
another scene, Seyi Shay can be seen twerking on Wizkid.
The video is directed by Meji Alabi.
Mr2kay –Bad girl special – 2015 (featuring Cynthia Morgan
and Seyi Shay)
Weeks before the video was officially released, the behind-
the-scenes pictures were unveiled to the public. A
particular steamy picture of Mr2kay and Cynthia Morgan
went viral, getting everyone thinking there could be more
between the duo than just music. For starters, the video
begins with Cynthia Morgan seductively walking towards
Mr2kay in a revealing top.
In this scene, the German juice sensation shows off her
curves and cleavage, affirming that she is a ‘Bad’ girl for
real. Another notable part in the video is a scene where the
duo are in the kitchen caressing each other with Cynthia
taking a sniff of her cigarette. There was a time when
Nigerian music videos had a message and brilliant
concepts, it seems those days are long gone. The video is
directed by Clarence Peters.
Davido –Fans Mi – 2015
What
comes to mind when you see guns, lots of cash on a table
and ladies dressed seductively in a music video? This
image portrays violence, gangsterism and sensuality.
Davido’s new video depicts these negative vices in no
small way. In the visuals, the young popstar tries to seal a
deal to supply cocaine, while the leader of the gang hands
him stacks of dollars for the business transaction. He goes
back to his house where he is welcomed by scantily
dressed ladies arranging the cocaine.
If music videos are meant to be a vehicle to pass positive
messages for the good of the coming generation, this video
has done nothing but just the opposite. The video is
directed by Sesan.
Cynthia Morgan-German Juice 2015
The title says it all. German Juice connotes buttocks. The
ladies in this video swings it from the beginning to the end.
It was shot on a sunny and summer-themed location.
Cynthia Morgan sings on a groovy dancehall beat while the
ladies were just shaking their big bums. The video is poor
in concept and lacks the needed depth that should be
displayed in a music video. The video is directed by
Clarence Peters and Jude Okoye.
Skuki-Silifa 2014
This
video
is
reminiscent of Timaya’s Shake your bum bum where
‘White’ video vixens were shaking their assets. Shot
sometime last year, the song’s lyrics is empty and the video
has no storyline. The only shocking aspect of the visuals is
the brazen manner the video vixens were shaking their
buttocks. Little wonder, it was tagged ‘Not suitable for
work’(NSFW).
Flavour-Ololufe (Featuring Chidinma) 2015
Flavour made headlines years back when he passionately
kissed Tiwa Savage in the video of the song ‘Onyi remix’. It
generated lots of controversy and sparked dating rumours
been these two hit makers. This is 2015, and the suave
singer is back to his kissing antics.
This time his partner in crime is the petite Chidinma Ekile
and the video is ‘Ololufe’. Since the video hit the public
domain, she has been heavily condemned. Though,
Chidinma has revealed that she is not dating Flavour, her
fans are yet to recover from the shock of seeing her engage
in such an offensive act. The video is directed by Godfather
productions.
