In this story, we pay homage to Nigerian music videos by highlighting 10 of the best-animated ones.
One thing about Nigerian music, even when it was generally not as good as it currently is, we always got served with good music videos that pieced together quality directing, choreography, styling and a resolution that was for the most part, at par with videos in that era. With the right factors coming together to get our music more attention first on the local scene before the international, this attention to visual details had become an additional booster that had piqued the interest of music stations to spin local videos and music enthusiasts to tune in. So in this story, we pay homage to Nigerian music videos but take a spin on it by highlighting the animated ones.
What are visualisers?
Apparently, visualizers are different from music videos in that while they're visuals that accompany a song, they're typically very simplistic with the aim of bringing the song to life in an easy-to-follow manner that is still interesting. Most times they're digital and are animated.
See the 10 Nigerian music videos that are animated;
1. Suuru Lere by Lagbaja
Lagbaja's Suuru Lere is an 8-minute-long track that recounts Nigeria's political history, right from the amalgamation to the moment we gained independence and the onslaught of ensuing coups. All of these events were rendered in animation to provide viewers young and old with a well-detailed and graphic depiction of the circumstances surrounding our democracy, which was the crux of the song; patience with each other despite our myriad differences in the face of the democratic mandate.
Today, Lagbaja'sSuuru Lere is 22 years old as it was released in the year 2000 but it seems the message in his song and the visuals collectively flew right over the nation's head with the state of affairs mirroring that depicted in the video.
2. Ijoya by Weird MC
Weird MC'sIjoya was a huge hit in 2006 when it was released, and it launched the rapper into the limelight. Its fully animated video had further endeared the song to its viewers, as kids most especially were in love with its colorful graphics that saw Weird MC go from swaggering in front of a Hummer Jeep to dancing with an all-female troupe as well as talking drum players.
The video was also additionally brilliant in that the much-loved animation had distracted viewers from Weird MC’s utterly masculine-presenting style which may have rubbed the highly normative Nigerian society the wrong way if rendered in the typical life-like form.
Its simple video which was in animated form saw 2Baba appear in many scenes from traffic to the club and in newspapers and this colourful depiction had been well-received, earning the video a formidable run on music video stations.
4. Action Film by M.I Abaga featuring Brymo
The late 2000s and early 2010s were owned by iconic rapper M.I Abaga and in 2010 he gave TV an unforgettable moment with the video of his Action Film. It had been animated, action and sleuth filled with M.I as the main character carrying out stunts from a car to a plane, dressed up in a sharp suit in a bid to rescue a kidnapped woman.
Towards the end, Ice Prince made a timely cameo, coming in to save M.I when the chips were down and these elements and its close depiction of the chaos in Lagos and a typical action movie served to make the video a favourite.
Mr Eazi has with his EmPawa initiative revolutionized the music business and one of the ways in which he did this was by popularising visualizers.
Mr Eazi’s Surrender is a perfect example of a visualizer as he was depicted dancing with reckless abandon beside a giant waist adorned with waist beads, swaying to the beats of the music. The animated Mr Eazi also threw in some hilarious dance moves that illustrated kicker lines like “I know say I no strong like Mike Tyson I know say I no get the voice like Michael Jackson.”
Surrender was a hit with the Poka Studios animated video, which amassed 11m views, which is double the number of views the official video got. Since then, Mr Eazi has made a killing with animated visualizers like the Chronixx-featured She Loves Me and visuals for recent singles like 'She Loves Me'.
6. Joeboy by Lonely
Embarking on a binge of Joeboy’s videos will reveal that the Afropop sensation is a fan of animated visualizers and this makes perfect sense given that the star is signed to Mr Eazi’s EmPawa Initiative.
Also created by Poka Studios, Joeboy has, with his visualisers, not only provided viewers with a colourful video but hilarious ones from Call to Lonely. The visualizer for Call was released at the height of the pandemic, proving to be the smart way out given the restriction on movement and gathering. It was well received and sits at 7.6 million views at the moment. While it's his most viewed animation video, the visualizer for Lonely takes the cake by virtue of its funniness.
In Lonely, Joeboy’s aloneness is juxtaposed against a bunny with a thriving love life who takes advantage of the singer's space and telephone to woo his bunny lover while Joeboy waits on his love interest.
Eventually, Joeboy’s wait is rewarded just as the bunny is jilted by his lover for a buff-looking bunny and Joeboy gets to kick the callous rabbit out. The visualizers to Call and Lonely also feature interesting cameos of Joeboy's label boss Mr Eazi who plays random roles from being the driver of the golf cart in Call to being the delivery man of the bunny's carrots in Lonely, serving to give them Marvel level twists.
The visualiser for Reekado BanksRora had been released before the more popular official music video but this did not hinder the video, from getting substantial clicks.
In fact, to date, a total of 15 million people watched Reekado Banks sing, put the lyrics into action and dance with his animated love interest in the Poka Studios created visualiser for Rora.
8. In My Maserati by Olakira
Olakira’sIn My Maseratiblew up with a dance move and a challenge in tow. These had been off the back of his visualiser, which had stitched together hilarious scenes where he drove his lover around first in a shopping cart and then a wheelbarrow before finally, they hopped in an actual Maserati.
Directed by the self-same Poka Studios behind Mr Eazi and Joeboy's visuals, the visualizer had contributed to giving Olakira his first hit song with In My Maserati.
9. Greed by Jinmi Abduls featuring Oxlade
In the Oxlade featured song, Greed, Jinmi Abduls vocalizes about his act of infidelity where he cheated on his lover due to greed and is now begging her forgiveness.
So in the visualiser that Naiky Toonz produced, we get emotion-filled scenes of Jinmi tailing his lover all around town while apologising. And then a scene with Oxlade sees him confessing to a priest who hilariously joins him in apologising to his wronged lover, but to no avail.
10. Thunder Fire You by Ric Hassani
Right from the audio, Ric Hassani’s Thunder Fire Youelicited laughter so it was only right that the video did justice to the song.
As a result,Ric Hassanimade use of a visualiser, with a few scenes depicting his ill-treatment from his lover followed by literal and swift retribution through thunder strikes on her and her friend.
It gets even funnier when God and the angels weigh in from heaven to express their displeasure and eventually met out punishment on the lover even faster than Ric himself could.

According to recent reports, Man City have now completed the signing of a key Premier League talent in the summer 2024 transfer window.
Reports have now confirmed that Man City have reportedly boosted their attack with their latest signing of a top Premier League talent in the summer 2024 transfer window.
Manchester City have secured the signing of promising teenage striker Divin Mubama from West Ham United. The 19-year-old forward, recognized as one of England's top young offensive talents, has impressed with his performances in West Ham's development squad.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City and West Ham have agreed on a £1.2 million compensation package for Mubama. The young forward will sign a long-term contract with City, and his medical tests are already scheduled.
Mubama, known for his speed, strength, and precise finishing, attracted interest from several elite European clubs. However, City acted swiftly to bring him on board. This move is seen as part of Pep Guardiola's strategy to strengthen the squad with young, domestic talent and ensure the club's future success.
Mubama caught the eye of the media during his time with West Ham's youth teams, particularly in the UEFA Youth League, where his performances stood out. He is expected to start his career with Manchester City's top development squad, with the potential to progress to the first team under Guardiola's guidance.
City supporters will be eager to see how Mubama integrates with the club and whether he can follow in the footsteps of other young talents who have advanced from prospects to key first-team players at the Etihad Stadium.
