  • Reggae is a style of Jamaican music that evolved in the 1970s. Later, it became a major part of the music of Nigeria, especially after the rise of singer Majek Fashek. Fashek was, like many Nigerian reggae performers, a part of the long-running band The Mandators. Other musicians include Jerri Jheto, Daddy Showkey, Ras Kimono and the London-based MC Afrikan Simba. These pioneers of Reggae music include big names like Orits Williki, Peterside Ottong, Andy Shoreman,Daniel Wilson, Alex Zitto,Evelyn Ogoli, Wale Man,Isaac Black, and a host of others. These guys paved the way for the new generation of home grown reggae artists currently topping the music chats in Nigeria today. Reggae music was propelled and drilled into the mainstream Nigerians in the mid eighties. During this period, FM Radio stations became a viable medium of choice for many recording artists and record label executives, because of its chat-topping musical programs delivered to the listeners with hard dose of fresh, and youtful Radio personality broadcasters mentioned below. They single handedly re-invented the way musical program(mes)ought to be presented on FM Radio to the listeners around the country. In both print and electronic media, they saw an avenue to promote a different kind of music in the ever diverse Nigeria demography. So in 1980s came the advent of FM Radio stations like: Radio Nigeria 1 Ikoyi-Lagos, Radio Nigeri 2 Lagos on Martin street, and the newly minted sister's sation Radio Nigeria 3 Ikoyi-Lagos,in 1987. They began and frequently bombarded the airwaves with this new type of music genre that took Nigerians by storm. Radio Personality and broadcasters like Bisi Olatilo, Mani Onumono, Richard Onaghise(aka manrichie), Zachari Mohammed, Smart Otemu, Boniface Onogwu,Nelson Edosovba, Ruime Effetie,and Shea Martins, all overwhelmingly featured Reggae musicians interviews on their program(mes). This immense air play eventually caught on, and Reggae music became the music of choice amongst Nigerians, young and old, and in all the entertainment scenes in Nigeria. It's widely said now, that these Radio boys single-handedly made Reggae music the most dominant genre in the Nigeria music industry today.
