    WizKid & Burna Boy Rule Spotify as Lagos, Suleja & Abuja Record Most Streams in March

    Global streaming platform, Spotify finally launched in Nigeria last month. After the first 30 days, Grammy award-winning artists, WizKid and Burna Boy have emerged the most streamed artists in the country.

    A report of activities on the streaming platform shows that Nigerian listeners listened to more home-grown artists despite having full access to Spotify’s 70 million songs, 2.2 million podcast titles and over 4 billion playlists.

    The report covers Spotify user consumption between February 23 and March 22, 2021

    WizKid & Burna Boy Rule Spotify as Lagos, Suleja & Abuja Record Most Streams in March

    Four out of the top five most-streamed artists in Nigeria are local artists. Topping the list are the country’s beloved superstars WizKid and fan favourite Burna Boy at number 2.

    Davido, and Rema comes in respectively at number 3 and 5 on the list. The only foreign artiste in the top 5 is Drake at number 4.

    “Bounce” by Rema, is Nigeria’s Most Streamed Song

    In terms of individual songs, local hits were the most streamed. The report showed that “Bounce” by Rema was the most-streamed track during the month.

    Wizkid and Burna Boy’s “Ginger” came in 2nd while Davido and Teni’s “FOR YOU” followed in Third.

    Olamide and Omah Lay’s Infinity and DaVido, Focalistic and Virgo Deep’s Ke Star – Remix completed the top 5 list of most-streamed tracks in the country

    With a strong appetite for local sounds, it wasn’t a surprise that Hot Hits Naija is one of the top-streamed playlists among users. African Heat comes in second reflecting listeners’ keenness to discover music from all over the continent.

    Podcast listening may be a relatively new trend but it is fast gaining momentum among Nigerians. In the last month, the most popular podcast on Spotify is “I Said What I Said,” with “Kwality Kontent” coming in second. “TED Talks Daily” came in third, followed by “Articulate One” and “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah: Ears Edition” in fourth and fifth positions respectively.

    Lagos tops cities with most streams on Spotify

    Of the many cities around the country, residents of Lagos streamed the most song in the country while Suleja in Niger state follows in second place.

    Abuja (3), Port Harcourt (4) and Benin City (5) completes the list of cities with most Spotify streams in Nigeria.

    In Summary

    Spotify’s first month in Nigeria has been largely a success. The just-released report showed that Nigeria’s love and resonate with local content more than international content.

    Spotify revealed that it has tailored music experience for Africa with more than 100 expertly curated playlists across some of the most popular genres in the continent.

    For many people, managing money and knowing the ri For many people, managing money and knowing the right opportunities to invest in is still a challenge. A survey of over 2,000 youths in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Cote D’Ivoire by Geopoll revealed that more young Nigerians only save after spending than their counterparts in other countries.

More youths in Tanzania and Uganda set aside a fixed amount to save than in Nigeria and Ivory Coast, who are more likely to save what remains after spending

The popularity of apps like @Piggybankng and @Cowrywise has made more people curious about saving, investing and creating a financial strategy to grow their money. However, there is need for more apps that take a more deliberate and friendly approach towards gaining financial intelligence and map out a sustainable path to monetary stability.

This is where Fundall comes in. @get_Fundall is a fintech service whose app is available for download on android and iOS.

    Things are gradually returning to normal as the nu Things are gradually returning to normal as the number of covid-19 cases continues to fall. Although it may take a while before we hug people or shake hands without second thoughts, things are getting better.

Only 523 new cases were recorded between April 6 and 13. This is a slight increase compared to the 497 people that tested positive over the previous week. Two weeks earlier, Technext reported that 584 people tested positive.

The numbers show a sustained decrease in the spread of infections across the country. Indeed the Lagos state government is now confident enough to allow event centres and relaxation centres to increase their crowd capacity. Along with that, here are other developments during the week.

    Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously ma Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously mark the 74th birthday of Nigerian music legend and highlife maestro Oliver de Coque, one of Africa’s most prolific recording artists of all time.

The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.
