Ever wondered what Eedris Abdulkareem really says in his songs? FreeNaijaLyrics.com is a growing online collection of lyrics to Nigerian songs.
It’s not new knowledge that fans and people search for lyrics of their favourite artists’ songs in order to learn what he/she is saying and memorize the lines within amongst other reasons. At FreeNaijaLyrics, people have the option to listen to the song, and download as they read the lyrics. As a result, the site is becoming a fast and quick avenue for upcoming artists who have submitted their songs and accompanying lyrics to get their music heard.
FreeNaijaLyrics is hoping to become a major music community with the largest searchable lyrics database operating the crowd sourcing technique by opening its doors to online users. Anyone could submit lyrics directly online at FreeNaijaLyrics.com or emailed the admin.

Currently available for download are more than 300 songs including the Nigerian National Anthem. This innovative idea of localising lyrics search online is the brain child of Bukie Akinbo who also runs RepNaijaArtists.com
