Best 15 Nigerian Wedding Songs Of All Time

Weddings are certainly one of the most anticipated events for most individuals. The songs you choose for your wedding day are extremely significant and must be properly chosen in order to make you and your guests feel happy and appreciated. These songs should support the event’s goals, which include the beauty of love and the exchanging of vows between you and your spouse.

Following the exchanging of vows, wedding guests in Nigeria look out for two things. That is “Food” and “Music,” and the power of songs should not be underestimated in this context. So, to ensure that your wedding song list is on point, we’ve compiled a list of evergreen songs that you can play on your wedding day. We have chosen the finest 15 Nigerian wedding songs of all time based on quality and popularity. The list, however, is not in any particular sequence.

15. Flavour and Chidinma – Ololufe

Consider “Ololufe” to be the ideal tune for an adorable first dance. This romantic ballad, sung by Nigerian artist Flavour, has a lively, upbeat beat that reminds us of falling in love with someone. In truth, “ololufe” translates to “lover” in English, therefore we can’t think of a better song to describe the bond you share with your newlywed.

14. P-Square – No One Like You

It’s been nearly 20 years since “No One Like You” was released, but the song is still a wedding day must-have. The catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics depict the euphoria of waking up on your wedding day and counting down the minutes till you can say “I do” to your special someone.

But why keep those butterflies in your tummy to yourself? Request that your DJ play “No One Like You” during your wedding reception to give your guests a taste of the matrimonial enchantment.

13. Timi Dakolo – Iyawo Mi

Few people can heap compliments like Timi Dakolo. In his song “Iyawo Mi,” which essentially translates to “my wife,” the Nigerian singer-songwriter waxes poetic about his special lover. Not only is she his partner and greatest friend, but Dakolo compares her to “an angel in the morning.”

That is quite the compliment. This beat is certain to give anyone heart eyes, whether you play it as you prepare for that much-anticipated first look or dedicate it to your partner during the wedding reception.

12. Wande Coal – Ololufe

Did you know Wande Coal has a song called “Ololufe.” To make matters even more confusing, his version is also ideal for a first dance. Coal’s words eloquently convey the all-consuming, “don’t-know-what-I’d-do-without-you” love that every couple feels on their wedding day in this slowed-down piece. This is an easy classic, perfect for anything lovey or romantic, as it comes with all the needed mushy emotions for the day you say “I do.”

11. 2Face – African Queen

In our opinion, the bride is the ultimate queen of her wedding day. So, why not give her the credit she deserves with 2face’s “African Queen”? This charming song is all about loving up on the woman who lights up her dancing partner’s life and is ideal for first dances or father-daughter time during the wedding reception.

10. Sunny Nneji – Oruka

You can make your family feel nostalgic by dedicating Sunny Neji’s “Oruka” to your in-laws and parents. Even though this lovely song is about the joy that marriage gives, it also mention the emotions that some parents may experience as they witness their children getting married.

Every time we listen to this classic Nigerian love song, we are reminded of the wonder of discovering the one. This song was published in 2003, and even now, decades later, every wedding still enjoys its appeal.

9. Kizz Daniel – Woju

You can’t go wrong with “Woju” if you’re looking for a lively tune that will have your bridesmaids running to the dance floor after supper. Kizz Daniel finds the ideal balance between passion and romance in this fast-paced jam, which is crucial for any long-lasting relationship. Play the remix that Kizz Daniel made with Davido and Tiwa Savage to get the party started. You’ll receive significant props from your wedding party, we promise.

8. Flavour – Ada Ada

Making “Ada Ada” a part of the wedding playlist is a wonderful way to inject some fun and energy into the reception and make it an event that all of the guests will remember. The song, which is known as a “wedding theme song” in Nigeria, portrays the customary nuptials of an Ada, or first daughter. It’s a positive, lively tune that will have everyone moving and grooving.

7. D’Banj – Fall in Love

If there is a break in the setlist, this song by D’banj is sure to get the party going again. “Fall in Love” is one of those songs that, whether you’re walking down the street or down the aisle, will lend a spring to your step thanks to its upbeat, smile-inducing pace. Additionally, D’banj’s portrayal of the transformation from a player to a lover boy is the stuff that love comedies are made of.

6. Adekunle Gold – Orente

Are you prepared to slow down? “Orente,” a mellow ballad sung by Adekunle Gold, is a great song to dance with your partner to. This song is perfect to share with your longtime companion because the word “orente” is frequently used to describe a lady who is stunning and devoted. We’d advise saving “Orente” for the first dance or processional during a wedding ceremony because of its slower speed.

5. Tekno – Duro

Play Tekno’s “Duro” for the ideal balance of beautiful and energetic music. Here, the kind words of support for the mother of his children are accompanied by a laid-back song that you can’t help but sway to. “Duro” is an excellent song to play as the microphone is handed around the room if you decide to have speeches at your wedding.

4. Patoranking and Wande Coal – My Woman, My Everything

The key to creating a great wedding playlist is to include music that not just those who are deeply in love may enjoy. Thankfully, “My Woman, My Everything” checks off every box. The repeating sound and lyrics of this song, which was created by Patoranking and Wande Coal, will help attendees concentrate on their intriguing dance moves.

3. Tosin Martins – Olo Mi

The Yoruba song “Olo Mi” by Tosin Martins is the ideal choice to play during dinner or cocktail hour because of its effortless, carefree nature. However, it turns out that the lyrics are shamelessly emotional. Martins repeats a few romantic words throughout the song: “Olo mi” (my love), “ore mi” (my friend), and “ololufe” (my lover).

2. Davido – Assurance

In writing “Assurance,” Afrobeats musician Davido set out to convey his unshakable love and dedication for his longterm lover, Chioma. But if you ask us, all newlyweds will appreciate this nice gesture. Even though Davido is a Nigerian-American musician, Assurance has gained popularity in many other nations, which means visitors of various backgrounds will undoubtedly like this selection. So feel free to use this calm and comforting tune for your first dance or wedding ceremony.

1. Wizkid – On Top Your Matter

Wizkid’s “On Top Your Matter” captures the essence of the issue, so don’t be deceived by the fast-paced music. This song feels like a fast-forward look at falling (and staying) in love, from the courting stage through walking down the aisle. It’s a fantastic beat to break out toward the conclusion of a wedding reception, though, because it’s not overly sentimental.
