The quality of a good music is in its ability to convey our feelings, emotions that words cannot fully express; it must be able to pass a message that will touch the heart and will be felt in the very core of our souls which is quite a rare thing to find in Nigerian music these days.
However, there are few songs that evoke sensuality and will make you want to fall in love, grab your partner and show them how much you love them; they are songs good enough to be played in the background while making love. Old, fresh, in local dialects; these are the best Nigerian songs to make love to, in no particular order:
