Timeless Nigerian Wedding Songs

Nothing beats a great song to put you in the mood. That’s right! As this post was typed, we were jamming to an African music playlist. African music, particularly Nigerian music, has transcended. You can attend an event in Nigeria and listen to only African music. Best part of it is you’ll be pleased. Songs, that is Nigerian wedding songs, even exist for special wedding moments such as cake cutting and mother-son dance.
