seun kuti all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
I want D’Banj to win…but I’m sure Wiz Kid, the ‘justin beiber of africa’ will get it. They both deserve it anyway lol
KUDOS to dem all!!! PROUDLY NAIJA!!!
Voting WizMan, oh sorry WizKID!
Na Seun Kuit nah, dem dey prize am…
seun kuti!!!!he screams talent and african vibe!
Seun Kuti all the way jare! that’s just pure African talent…love that man to pieces!
Voting for Wizkid but I wish all of them luck
I pray and hope Mobo wouldn’t call this a tie and give all the nigerians in this category..
seun kuti
Lmao at Dee!! That’s a worthy prayer tough, since that’s slowly becoming the trend… I’ll most likely be voting for Seun Kuti, even though I’ve never listened to anything he’s done. There’s just something about the ‘Kuti’ name that commands loyalty…

Mark my words, Dbanj will most likely win the award because of all this Kanye west hype….Wizkid is more deserving of it though…We shall see
Wizkid anytime, anyday.
Duuuh!I can’t even remember hearing or listening to Seun
Kuti’s song in the last God knows how many years…Mobo wld not call
a tie if its not necessary.They all go according to votes!Some ppl need to understand the complexity and versatility of
the word ‘talent’ as well as the complexity of ‘Music’.As far as i believe,all 3 nominees listed
above are very good in totally different ways.
My favourite remains D’banj tho’.
Shebi it’s to vote? Then a Nigerian is winning. Consider MOBO the musical version of BBA. It’s probably gonna be D’banj or Wizkid…and I hope no one laments about it being a popularity contest.
@spicy,if D’banj wins then he wins b’cos he’s D’banj….Has absolutely nothing to do wiv
Kanye West.D’banj has been successful from Day 1!!!Wot are u yarning?Do u kno how many
he won even b4 he dreamt he was gonna ever get linked to Kanye???Free D’banj pls and
by the way he looses nothing if he doesn’t win this ‘cos he’s won too
many anyways!
Pele oooooo,Dbanj fan number 1..I’m not disputing Dbanj hasn’t won a lot of awards in the past but that was then, this is now, the fact is if it wasn’t for the kanye west deal, Dbanj presently can’t test Wizkid’s genius who is definitely the man of the moment…Don’t even know why i’m replying you sef, i love both of them but my opinion is that wizkid is more deserving of that award at present..simples
wizkid is d true face of branded afro pop,so he is d one.
wizkid deserves the award.
@Spicy….Pls hold ur lips!U claim u love them both D”banj and Wizkid and yet u indirectly or directly speak ill of one for the other.Yes,it”l be great and I”l be glad to hear Wizkid win it if not for anything but atleast to encourage him to do more but the truth is do u really know the meaning of Genius????And worse still,saying D”banj can”t test his genius??U need to work on the choice of your words!D’banj has always had hype frm the very beginning and it only makes sense for him to have EVEN MORE hype owing to his recent deals and collabos wiv American artists.The same hype wld apply to whichever Nigerian artist that is oppurtuned to cross into the American music world.
U don”t need to state the obvious and if u must do,then be more constructive about it.
story story story..you dbanj die hard fans(groupies) just get so upset when u hear something against ur master, Just cause i love both of them doesn’t mean i can’t b biased towards either of them…Like i said, my statement was in my opinion so don’t start crying about it ok..And if were stating the obvious whether constructively or not, why are u getting ur panties in a twist then??.anyways let me run and google the meaning of “genius”…ode oshi
@tee hugs! ur comments on point callin wizkid a genuis?! kmt…
rave of d moment syndrome trust me d shine shine go soon commot!
wizkid i gat ur bak man
d’banj we got ur back man cos ur y’nach is bigger
@spicy,get lost from this post or forum or whatever!No one insulted you,why call someone “ode oshi”??Who”s the “ode oshi” btwn u and them?Her points or better still,their points are ten times more constructive than yours so wots ur stress?You were the first to start the senseless comparisons anyway and u expect NOT to get responses???By the way,hope the definition of “GENIUS” has finally sunk into ur head now “cos we expect it shld av by now.
It’s either wizkid or wizkid!!!!
Its Whizkid!!!
Well, WIZKID WON IT! IYEYEYE!!!lol
it’s ur boy wizzzzzzzzy. CONGRATULATION, Keep it up, Pls don’t relax.
2011 or 2012?
i want SEUN KUTI to win it,fela family are the best in nigeria,in all way may JAH reacly bless that family fighting for truth..
all nigerians know that fela family is the most important family in nigeria,they are all freedom fighter truthfull people,why was 2face not there in the fuel protest,he already said all man for himself,may JAH reachly bless fela family once again…..
Well! Seun & D’banj are good 4 what they do, but I realy think Wizkid is better because he’s the new ‘kid’ on the block. Wizkid all the way…
