Music videos are mediums for artistes to showcase their 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, s*x 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 b**bs, b*tt or bust cleavage, n*ked 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 s*xual behaviours. In no particular order, Guruboi Of Waploaded.com chronicles 7 Nigerian music videos that will send shock waves down your spine.

1. Davido – Fans Mi (Released 2015)
What comes to mind when you see guns, lots of cash on a table and ladies dressed seductively in a musicvideo? This image portrays violence, gangsterism and s£nsu@lity. 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.

2. Wizkid- Expensive Shit – (Released 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.

3. Olamide –Falila Ketan (Released 2015)
What message can be passed in a musicvideo 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.




4. Reminisce –Skilashi (Released 2015)
Just like his previous s£nsu@l 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.



5. Mr2kay –Bad girl special ft. Cynthia Morgan & Seyi Shay – (Released 2015)
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 s£nsat!on 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 musicvideos had a message and brilliant concepts, it seems those days are long gone. The video is directed by Clarence Peters.




6. Cynthia Morgan - German Juice (Released 2015)
The title says it all. German Juice connotes butt0ckz. 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 musicvideo. The video is directed by Clarence Peters and Jude Okoye.




7. Flavour-Ololufe ft. Chidinma (Released 2015)
The last but not the least... 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 Ekqile 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.
